Chapter 38 - The Intimate Party

Chapter Thirty Eight
"The Intimate Party"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

If I'm going to scream right now. No one's probably going to hear me since the nearest security guard might probably be hundreds of meters away from me. So there's no use screaming. I can also surprise him with my bag by knocking him off with it pero ang mahal naman ata ng Luis Vuitton na'to. Ayaw ko naman na ihampas lang 'to sa taong ito.

But I noticed the guy was carrying something, it was a vacuum cleaner and he was cleaning the rug.

Kaya bigla naman akong nakahinga ng maluwag. Shet, I really thought there was a burglar inside the house. Did Abeline contact the house cleaners already?

Tumanga ang lalaki at tumingin sa akin. He somehow looks familiar kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya ng nagtataka. His hair was black, built bodied, matangos din ang ilong at mapupungay na mata.

"Uh, good evening po." Bati nito sa akin habang nakangiti. "M-Maam." Patango-tango nitong sinabi sa akin. Naiilang siguro dahil napatingin ako sa kaniya.

'Di ko na lang ito sinagot atsaka linapag ang bag ko sa taas ng higaan ko. I went directly to the kitchen to search for something to drink. Mabuti naman dahil may nakita akong tubig sa loob.

I noticed, the refrigerator has been restocked, the kitchenwares has been organised, even the sink has been cleaned and the house looks perfectly polished. He must had restocked everything in here, I wonder how much do their companies pay them?

I walked myself to the living room and I noticed that the rug has been changed the clothes were hanged outside too. Did that familiar guy do the cleaning all by himself?

Abala ako sa pag-iisip nang makita kong pumasok si Theo sa loob ng bahay. Kagagaling lang nito sa school at naka-uniform pa ito, he seem spaced out na 'di niya alam na nasa tabi niya lang ako. Agad itong pumasok sa loob ng kaniyang kwarto at 'di ko lang ito pinansin — ganun din siya.

Bigla namang umalis ang lalaki dahil nakita ko na lamang itong nahlakad palabas. "Wait." Utos ko rito pero 'di niya yata ako narinig kaya wala na akong nagawa kun'di sundan na lamang siya ng tingin. Gusto ko pa sana siyang tanungin.

He really looks familiar.

Saan ko nga ba siya nakita?

...

Abala ako sa pag-aaral para sa nalalapit na exam namin nang bigla akong makarinig ng tawag sa telepono ko. I did not hesitate to answer it — it was from Hans.

"What?" I nonchalantly asked him while eyes still at my reviewers.

"There's a party sa Club Monaco this coming Friday and I want you to come." His voice was authoritative.

"Hans, I have an exam. Can that thing wait? At ba't naman ako pupunta sa club?"

"Publicity since you're slowly garnering attention?"

Napairap naman ako. "Sisimulan ko talaga sa club? Pwede namang sa mga shoots o sa runways?" I retorted.

"Going to parties is the first step to fame Dani dear." Napairap naman ako sa kaniya. Hans sounded so desperate to make me go to that club. "In fact I already bought you clothes to wear."
