Sweet dreams

I spent my whole week with my parents, it's heart warming that there's a family that waiting for me and misses me. Hindi ko man sila maalala hanggang ngayon, alam ko sa puso ko sila nga ang pamilya ko. They are my family no matter what happen.

"Nasa salas si Perseus." Sabi ng isang katulong na siyang kumatok sa aking kwarto. Sa loob ng isang linggo hindi siya sumalto sa pag tetext sa akin, he always greet me or asked what happened to my day. Well, he said that he's my boyfriend so it's just okay.

"Opo, bababa na ako." I said. Mabilis akong tumingin sa salamin. Today Perseus invited me to eat dinner with him, I already asked mom and dad about it and they agreed immediately. I smiled while looking at my reflection on the mirror. I'm wearing an off shoulder blue dress and a boots with high heels. Naninibago ako dahil hindi ito ang nakasanayan ko sa Iloilo but at the same time I feel comfortable with it.

Nang bumaba ako ay nakita ko kaagad si Perseus na naghihintay sa akin sa couch. Napangiti ako dahil kahit seryoso siya, napakagwapo niya pa rin. He's wearing a white polo sleeves that folded up to his elbows, and his jeans is so perfectly fitted to his long legs and the boots that made him more manly. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at tumayo na din siya.

"Let's go.." anyaya ko. He nodded and then he circle his arms around my waist while kissing me on my forehead, my heart suddenly beat faster, I will never get used to his moves! Pinagbuksan niya ako sa front seat ng kaniyang itim na sasakyan. Nag seatbelt ako habang siya naman ay pumasok sa driver seat.

"Where are we going by the way?" I asked while he's driving seriously.

"Restaurant...why? Do you want somewhere else?" He asked, agad akong lumingon dahil bumaling siya sa akin. I smiled.

"No..I'm just asking." I said. Tumango siya.

"Someone wants to meet you." He said. Bumaling akong muli sa kaniya. Sino?

"Who?"

"My sister...you were bestfriends..actually until now if you remember her." He said slowly. Umaawang ang labi ko. My bestfriend? I have bestfriend? He have a sibling?

"What's her name then?" Medyo gulantang kong tanong. Ngumisi siya.

"Arabella Williams.." he answered.

"You have sister?" I asked kahit pa sinabi niya na kanina.

"Yeah..she was secretly hidden before but now everyone knows her that she's my sibling.." he said. Napatango ako. Siguro alam ko ang dahilan kung bakit, pero wala akong matandaan kaya hindi ko rin alam ngayon.

Tumigil ang sasakyan sa isang sikat na restaurant. Pinagbuksan niya ako at dahan dahan naman akong lumabas. He assisted on my waist while we entered. Ramdam ko ang pagbaling ng mga tao sa amin, but no one dares to come near us kahit pa alam kong maraming nakakakilala dito kay Perseus, maybe they know that Perseus have a lot of bodyguards out there and they will be screwed if they dare to come near.

Habang papalapit sa reserved na lamesa ay nakita ko na nakaupo doon ang isang magandang babae. She have this eye color that the same with Perseus! She looks like a goddess! She's very beautiful! At nakakahiyang lumapit sa kaniya sa sobrang ganda niya! Nang tuluyan na kaming nakalapit ay nakita ko na siya ng maayos, nakita ko ang pagkamangha sa kaniya, nakatayo na rin siya sa harap namin. Para siyang nakakita ng multo habang nakatingin sa akin! Maybe she also thought that I was already dead!

"Ara stop staring at her too much." Saway ni Perseus. Doon lamang siya na distract kakatingin. Ngumiti siya ngunit nakitaan ko naman ng kaunting butil ng luha ang kaniyang mata.
