The Queenbee's Downfall (On-Hold)

37: Best Friends and Catchups

Chapter 37: His Mom And My Mom?!

"I sent Tita Clarice the address of my home..." basag niya sa namayaning katahimikan sa amin.

I'm inside his sports car because he offered me a ride. Iniwan ko na sina Tina roon. Hindi na ako nakapag-paalam in person pero nag-send ako ng message sa GC namin na mauuna na ako sa kanila. Wala akong natanggap na reply at puro seen lang silang lahat kaya di na rin ako umasang mags-send sila ng, "Ingat!" O kaya naman ay "Why so early?".

Malamang busy ang mga 'yon kakagiling at inom ng beer. Ayaw ko na rin silang istorbohin dahil deserve nilang sumaya ngayong Semestral break na namin.

"Bakit?", tanong ko.

"You'll be alone in your house once we arrive, who knows what could happen.." he trailed on.

I scoffed and shook my head, but did not bother speaking further. I understand what he meant. And keeping my mouth shut was supposed to be my plan, however I couldn't hold back my tongue.

"Since when did you care about someone's safety?", you're a killer. I wanted to add that but I am gonna sound rude here.

Pinanood ko ang paghigpit ng hawak niya sa manibela.

"Since the day I saw you unconsciously lying under that big tree."

My eyebrows arched but this time, I did not really bother speaking anymore. His aura has changed again, and it's the same as when we were in that forest. Dark and dangerous. Suddenly, the beating of my heart went rigidly loud and fast.

He's right. Who knows what could happen to me? Who knows what could happen if I push this topic further and I might accidentally blurt out the word my tongue and heart had been suppressing. I think I can't take that risk.

Nanahimik na ako at tumingin na lang sa labas. Iritable ako ngayon dahil sa menstruation ko. We'd only argue if I continued talking to him. Pero maya-maya lang ay natutulala ako sa mga nadadaanan namin. Confusion struck me like lightning as the familiar neighbourhood caught my attention.

"Teka, akala ko ba ay pupunta tayo sa bahay ninyo?", ako.

"We are." Yun lang at hindi na siya nagsalita pa.

Nagpatuloy lamang si Heath sa pagmamaneho at nung lumiko siya sa isang kanto, hindi nakaligtas sa aking paningin ang dalawang black Ducati at isang cream Porsche na nakasunod sa amin. Kahit kinakabahan at madaming tanong na naglalaro sa isipan ko ay nanahimik pa rin ako.

Lumampas na kami sa bahay namin at ilang bahay pa ang nilampasan namin ay sinalubong kami ng isang enggrande at napakalaking gate. It did not let us wait even for 5 seconds and it quickly opened. Bumagal ang takbo ng sasakyan niya.

My jaw dropped when I witnessed a massive white arch standing magnanimously along the pebbled road. The capitalised surname of the Evans screamed with authority and power. Unti-unti namin iyong nilampasan. The land is spacious enough for horses to roam and run around the area.

Kahit gabi ay kitang-kita pa rin ang tindig at kisig ng mga kabayo sa tulong ng maliliit na mga ilaw. Naka-display ang ilaw sa bawat kanto ng pebbled road, inches apart from each other. The place is so fantastical and majestic! How I wish I live in this place.

"Th-this is..." hindi ko na natuloy ang sasabihin dahil sa pagsalubong ng napakalaking fountain sa amin.

"Welcome to my home."

Their house is huge! It's like a mansion. No, more like a manor! Sa sobrang laki ng lupain nila, nasisiguro kong manor type ang kanilang bahay. The faint structure of a small roof that I saw when I glanced at my right, there's no doubt that there are lots of small houses there that are built for their caretakers and workers.
