Chapter 4: Sudden Visitor

SASHA REIN SALVATORE

That jerk. Buti na lang napigilan ko ang sarili kong sapakin siya. The nerve, tsk.

Fiancé my ass. But that dumb jerk, mukhang hindi niya nga talaga ako maalala. Well, we've only met twice before.

I decided to go to a bar. I'm not gonna go there to party 'cause I'm not in the mood, I just want to cool down.

Heaven Feels Bar. A high-class bar, hindi siya katulad ng ibang bar na may mga strip dancers, naninigarilyo, mga mukhang adik, etc. HFB is a decent bar compared to others. Tahimik dito. May mga VIP rooms din if ever you want to make a miracle or you want to be alone. It depends on your trip.

I remember what happened earlier, just like what I expected.

Wala naman talaga akong balak pumunta kaso ayoko namang ipahiya sila Dad. Damn it. Sabi na nga ba papayag sila, e. And I'm sure, matutuloy ang kasal even if I don't like it.

"Give me one Jaguar," I said as soon as I sat on the stool.

"Coming right up."

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko. Gosh, sumasakit ang ulo ko sa isiping ikakasal ako sa damuhong 'yon. Pwede bang sa Ate niya na lang ako ikasal? Tsk. Kaso kasal na rin pala ang Ate niya.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a stalker and I will never be. It's just that, there are so many chismosa out there, kaya gano'n.

"Here's your Jaguar, Ma'am."

I just gave him a nod and got the glass of alcohol.

I played with the glass while looking at it as if my world are revolving around that glass of Jaguar.

"Hey, Miss. You're Sasha, right?" a guy sat beside me. I just look at him blankly. He's handsome, I assume he's an actor or a model. or whatever. He's wearing a polo with a 3-buttons opened partnered with a maong pants. It's simple, but it suits him. Still, I don't have time to entertain him. So, I just looked away as if I didn't hear what he said.

"Masungit ka pala talaga sa personal. I thought it was just a rumor." Again, I didn't say a thing. Like, the hell I care what people think of me.

"I assumed you don't know me though I'm really famous, but anyway, let me introduce myself. I'm Keith, Keith Alejandro." Nilahad niya ang kamay niya sa harap ko na tinitigan ko lang bago binalik ang tingin sa glass na hawak ko. He just chuckled at what I did at binawi ang kamay niya.

Ininom ko ang alak na hawak. Habang ang katabi ko naman ay umorder na rin ng alak.

"By the way, are you alone?" he asked and looked around.

I gave him a 'may nakikita ka bang hindi ko nakikita?' look. I mean, isn't it obvious? Kung may kasama ako edi sana kanina pa nandito.

"Sabi ko nga." Napakamot na lamang siya sa batok niya.

I just rolled my eyes at him. I'm not saying anything, but he's still talking to me. I don't know, but I'm comfortable with his presence.

Naputol ang kinukwento niya ng may tumawag sa phone niya.

"Excuse me," he said, then answered the phone.

I just let him. I'm still sober kahit nakaka-apat na akong baso ng Jaguar. I have high tolerance of alcohol that's why.

"Ah, sorry, Sasha, but I have to go. Something came up," saad niya pagkabalik niya.

I just gave him a nod. "Okay."

Napakurap naman siya sa akin na tila may ginawa akong nakakagimbal o nakakamangha.

"Y-You spoke." Ehh?
