THE LOVER : Lucius Marco

[Tres] SITUATION

EMMANUELA'S POV

Urgh, fuck. My head. I sat on the bed while holding my head. It hurts so much.

Ah shit, oo nga pala. Let me just recall— Nasa bar ako kahapon kasi uminom kami ni Kyline. I went on the dancefloor and danced like there was no tomorrow and a guy grabbed my waist and we... shit..

"W-We kissed and.." I mumbled to myself as my hands shake.

"S-Something happened." I mumbled as my eyes roam around the room I'm in. Everything is so bright. The room has white walls, white bed sheets, but wooden floor.

My mouth parted as I glance at my clothes all over the place. Yumuko ako para tingnan ang sarili ko. Dali dali kong tinakpan ang sarili ko sa puting comforter at isa isang kinuha ang mga damit ko.

Napahinto ako nang narinig kong may naliligo sa banyo. I glance at the bathroom's door and saw it widely opened. Napatingin ako sa sahig ng may pintuan nito at nakita ang panty ko doon.

If I know, the man that I made out with is taking a bath right now.

Emmanuela, you can do this.

Dahan dahan akong naglakad papunta sa may banyo upang kunin ang panty ko sa may pintuan. When I reached the door, I can't help but took a glance at the guy currently taking a shower in the bathroom. His back was facing me and his palm is resting on the bathroom walls. I stared at him as he feeling the water running down to his skin.

His back was so masculine and he has a great body shape. The other thing that caught my attention is his white big butt. Damn, those butt. While staring at him, dahan dahan kong kinuha ang panty ko sa may pintuan. Finally, I grabbed my panty and slowly wear it, then my dress. I was about to slowly open the door when...

*RINGGGGG*

Fuck! My phone! I immediately grabbed my phone when I saw it ringing on the side table. As I was about to go out I took a quick glance at the bathroom and saw the guy looking at me sideways. Agad ako tumakbo palabas at hinabol niya naman ako habang naka towel lang.

I ran down the stairs.

"Miss!" I heard him shout but I never dare to look back.

As I was running back at the village barefooted, I can't help but think about what we did last night! Did we went all the way?! May nangyari ba talaga samin? Virgin paba ako?! Don't tell me I'm not a virgin anymore!

PUTANGINA, EMMANUELA BESAR!

Na-porkchop na talaga!

I mentally scold myself. Shit, sana naman virgin pa ako. I really need to talk with Kyline after this.

I stopped running when I already reached my house and I found two police cars outside of my house. My eyebrows furrowed.

May nangyari ba?

Absentmindedly, I opened my front door and saw mom, dad and Kyline in living room with four policemen sitting on my couch.

"What's happening—" Hindi ako natapos ng pagsasalita nang bigla akong niyakap ni mom ng mahigpit.

Okay, a hug after years of not experiencing it. Weird.

"Akala ko napano kana! Okay ka lang ba? Ha?" tilang nag-aalalang tanong ni mama as she caresses my cheeks.

"I'm fine, p-pero bakit may mga pulis?" tanong ko kay mama.

"You were reported missing, Ms. Besar. Your friend reported it." Sabi ng isang pulis at tinuro si Kyline. I looked at her in confusion.

"But hindi pa ako nawala within 24 hour—"

Agad naman akong niyakap ni Kyline ng mahigpit na sanhi nang hindi ako makatapos sa pagsasalita.

"Bitch!" she then lowers her voice. "Nagsinungaling ako kasi nag-alala ako, tangina ka." She sniffled. I mentally facepalmed. Of course she was worried. She's a paranoid sometimes.

"Sorry if hindi kita nabantayan ng maayos!" that one moment, doon ko lang napansin na umiiyak na pala si Kyline. I broke the hug and wiped her tears away.

"I'm fine, Kyline. Thanks for your concern." I said as I smiled at niyakap siya ulit. She's such a sweetheart and a soft-hearted person despite of her wild appearance.

After that, the policemen went back to the station and we thanked them for their service.

It's 7:45 am and our first sub will be starting at 9 a. kaya naligo na agad ako, nagbihis at kumain. Natapos ako ng 8:01 am.

"Since when did you learn about going at the bar?! Worse! Getting wasted! Are you out of your mind, Emma!?" isang boses ang naging dahilan ng pagkulo ng dugo ko habang hinahanda ko ang mga gamit ko sa school.

I looked back and saw dad standing behind me. It feels bitter whenever I identify him as my dad.

"I can handle myself." Giit ko sabay talikod sa kanya at nagpatuloy sa paghahanda ng mga gamit ko.

"You can handle yourself yet you came home in the morning? What kind of handling yourself are you doing?!" sermon niya sakin. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at naglakad palayo.

But I stopped walking when he grabbed my arm and tightened the grip of it.

"Let me go!" I yelled.

"Sumasagot kana?! This is why I am not in favor of you living alone! Nawawala na ang respeto mo!" he yelled back. I used all of my strength and was able to escape from his grip.

"Never in my life na nirerespeto kita bilang ama!" I yelled. He froze.

"Sa tingin mo ba marerespeto pa kita bilang ama pagkatapos ng ginawa mong pangloloko ni mommy?!" I yelled back at him.

His eyes widened before he opened his mouth and shouted back at me.

"That was fucking years ago, Emmanuela! I've changed and I'm still your father so respetuhin mo ako!"

"Did you really assumed that just because you came back under our roof, you can act as my father now?" I said before chuckling sarcastically. "If so then bold of you to assume that, Adolfo." Raw. I called him by his name.

Akmang lalakad na sana ako palayo. "Also.." Nilingon ko siya. "Wala na pala akong ama."

As I enter the living room, I saw mom looking at me. And I know she heard everything. I smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheeks.

"I gotta go, mom. Naghihintay na si Kyline sakin sa labas." Sabi ko.

"Oh, kung uuwi na kayo, just use the spare key nandoon sa drawer ng kwarto ko." Dagdag ko pa. Akmang lalabas na sana ako nang nagsalita si mama.

"Hihintayin kitang umuwi." She said as she smiled.

It's been years since ganito si mama. Dahil kasi sa panloloko ni dad, tulala si mana for the passed three years. And now? I'm happy that she's slowly recovering. She can't control her emotions, especially sadness kaya kung sasaktan siya emotionally, grabe ang impact nito sa kanya.

I smiled back. "Okay." I said as I went out from the house before fixing my scarf at sumakay sa sasakyan ni Kyline and drove off to school.
