I parked my car on the basement of the private mall. Yes, it's a private mall.
This mall is just made for those people who wants some peace if they're gonna shop. Like those actors, models, businessmans, and such. Mahirap sa kanilang pumunta sa crowded place lalo na't kilala sila.
Yes, it is important for the rich people. But I didn't get that. I know that my family is rich, I know I'm a brat sometimes, I'm spoiled, I can get everything I want easily, but I want to help other people na nahihirapan sa buhay. Gusto kong makuha ng madalian ang mga bagay para ibigay sa mga taong hindi iyon makuha-kuha.
I am a spoiled brat, but I know how to respect and value other people. Kasi alam ko pare-pareho lang naman tayong mga tao, hindi ba? I'm not really a fan of that ever since. Pare-pareho tayong mga tao. Pantay-pantay. We all have the rights. We are all the same but we just have a different perspective in life.
Naiintindihan ko rin ang ibang mga tao sa sinasabi nila na ang mga mayayaman, ang aarte at mga walang awa. Kasi nga nakukuha lahat ng gusto. They has a point though. I understand that very well.
Pero ako, nakuha ko na ang lahat pero hindi ako naging kontento. I was only hoping and wishing for something. Ang dati ko pang inaabot. And that was my freedom. My own life.
I need that.
Even before.
I was busy checking the nutrition fact of the milk I was holding. I wanted to shift to another brand of milk. Ang panget ng lasa noong huli kong binili.
My eyes was still focused on the milk while slowly pushing the cart that I didn't notice the person ahead of me. Ang tunog ng pagbangga ng push carts naming dalawa ang bumalot sa drinks section.
My eyes widened as I slowly put the milk on my push cart while staring at the man who's now looking at our push carts.
His black thick brows are now furrowed and his thin lips are now tightly pursed. His face screams like he was mad and annoyed. Even so, he still looked so hot and gorgeous.
I blinked enumerable times as I tilted my head on the other side. My eyes widened a fraction and my lips parted when our eyes locked. His hair is slightly disheveled but it made him even more handsome than he is now.
His dark hazel brown eyes darted at me. His cold eyes that staring at me made me shudder. He licked his lips making me looked away.
"I-I'm s-sorry..." para akong nabulunan sa sariling laway. I coughed fakely while busy avoiding my eyes on his.
Dahan-dahan kong tinulak ang cart ko, natatakot na mabangga ko ulit ang kaniya. Hindi ko na hinintay na makapagsalita pa siya at agad na umalis doon.
I don't know. I just can't stand in front of him without feeling nervous. Palagay ko, mahihimatay ako kapag nakatingin siya sa akin. His presence screams powerful.
Of course, Autumn! He really is powerful! He's one of the member of the most famous boyband now! Hindi ko aakalain na makita ko siya rito.
I wasn't on my right mind as I pay for what I buy. Nakatulala ako dahil abot na sa ibang planeta ang isip ko. Naglalaro na siguro sila kasama ang mga aliens.
Gosh, I know, I am really crazy right now. I don't have to argue with that matter.
Some staffs of the mall helped me to bring my things on the car so I thanked all of them. Sa sobrang dami nitong mga pinamili ko, hindi ko na sila mabuhat lahat.
I started the engine of the car but I was stunned on my seat when the car didn't work. Ilang beses ko pa itong pinaandar pero namamatay din ito kalaunan.
What the hell...
I was starting to get nervous. I know my Dad will be mad at me if he will know this! Sermon na naman ang aabutin ko! My heart was beating so darn fast and my hands are now cold.
Bumaba ako ng sasakyan. I checked the tires but it's not flat! The engine probably broke down. This car is so maarte! Ngayon pa talaga nasira.
I was massaging mg temple as I typed a message for Clea when a pair of black boots appear on my sight. Dahan-dahan kong ibinaba ang cellphone ko at dahan-dahan ko ring inangat ang tingin ko.
The first thing that I saw is his black ripped jeans, black t-shirt and his Greek-God-like face. My breathing hitched at the mere sight of his face.
"Do you need help, Miss?" His cold baritone voice gave chills to my body. Nanindig ang nga balahibo ko. "Miss?"
Napakurap-kurap ako at wala sa sariling tumango. "Y-yes."
Wala ako sa sarili. I know I am acting really weird today. I shouldn't be with him, right? It's dangerous! He is so famous! Hindi niya ba alam 'yon?
If some people or paparazzi will see us together, alam kong iba ang iisipin nila. This will cause a big scandal issue! And I will be doomed.
But I just saw myself inside his black heavily tinted car. I know this is wrong. Makitang nakikipag-usap ka nga sa kaniya ay mali na, paano pa kaya kung makita kang sumakay sa kotse niya? This. Is. So. Wrong. I swear.
Nakatulala ako at hindi ko alam ang sasabihin sa kaniya. He didn't started the engine yet so I started to be uncomfortable. Isn't he going to drive?
After I felt like eternity, he broke the awkward silence beetwen us.
"Where do you live?" He asked in a calm yet cold voice.
My brain stopped functioning. I felt like the time also stopped for a moment.
Napakurap-kurap ako. "Huh?"
I stared at him. Wala akong makitang reaksiyon sa mukha niya. I cleared my throat as I avoided my eyes on his. "Uh... Mallari Luxury Condominium."
He nodded slowly. "Okay...we're on the same location so, no problem."
Wala na akong masabi kaya tumango na lang ako. He didn't started the engine of the car so my brows furrowed. Nakita niya siguro ang tanong sa mukha ko kaya umayos siya ng upo.
He cleared his throat. "Seatbelt,"
My eyes widened. Agad kong inayos ang seatbelt sa nanginginig na nga kamay. I am so nervous right now.
I swear, this is the longest ride I felt on my entire life. And I felt after a year of sitting inside his car, I finally felt his car stopped on the... DRIVE THRU?!
