Her Deceitful Adonis

Lesson 8

Author's Note: When you're crush borrowed your phone then accessed his private facebook account but left his account logged in on your phone. Gusto kong tignan pero ni-logout ko pa rin. 😂 Maybe he trusts me that much to give me back my phone without logging out his account. 😂 #FriendshipZoned #SoWhatCrushLangNaman

Avery Rain Santillan

I was awakened with tons of sweat and uneven breathing. Everything was so surreal. It felt like it happened before. A long time ago.

"You're awake Avery." Napatingin ako kay Kyron at ganun na lang ang pagkagulat ko nang makitang nakasuit and tie na siya. "What's with the look? Did you had a bad dream?"

I—I actually don't know whether I'll consider it as a bad dream or not. "No, I mean, yes."

"What is it all about?" He asked while holding a tie and having a hard time tying it. Isn't he supposed to be used tying that one? Madalas ko siyang makita ng naka-tie. Maayos naman ang pagkakatali ng mga tie niya. How come he's having a hard time tying that one?

Mukhang napansin niyang nakatitig ako sa mga kamay niyang namomroblema sa tie. "Can you help me with this?" Iniangat niya ang tie na nasa kamay niya.

Tumayo ako saka lumapit sa kanya at tinulungan siyang itali ang tie sa leeg niya. "Aren't you supposed to be used tying this? Lagi kitang nakikitang naka-tie sa opisina. How come you don't know how to tie your tie?"

"I always ask my assistant to tie it for me."

Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. "So you're giving your assistant the right to control your life? For what I know that's the reason why men tend to ask women to tie their neckties."

Siya naman ang kumunot ang noo. "What are you saying? Lalake ang assistant ko. Remember Jack?"

"No." Hindi ko naman talaga kilala yung assistant niya.

"So bakit nga hindi mo pinag-aralan ang pagtatali niyang tie mo?" Pinagpag-pagpag ko yung magkabilang balikat niya pagkatapos kong ayusin ang tie niya.

"Dahil gusto kong ang babaeng mapapangasawa ko ang kauna-unahang taong magtatali ng necktie sa leeg ko." Napatingin ako sa kanya mula sa pagkakayuko ng dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Baliw ka ba? Bakit mo ko pinakiusapang itali yang necktie mo kung gusto mo pala yung babaeng mapapangasawa mo ang magtali niyan sayo?" Yung mga galawan din nitong si Kyron, pa-fall eh. Ang lakas makapagpa-fall.

Nagkibit-balikat siya. "Think about it. Maybe I was left with no choice. Ikaw lang ang nandito."

"O baka naman dahil kamukha ko naman yung babaeng gusto mong pakasalan kaya okey lang kahit ako ang magtali niyan." Mahinang bulong ko habang nakaiwas ang tingin ko sa kanya.

"What are you saying?" Kunot ang noong tanong niya ng mapabaling ako ulit sa kanya.

I smiled sweetly at him. "Nothing. Do I looked like I said something? Baka naman Mr. Tanjuatco multo ang naririnig mo. Nasa hospital pa naman tayo. They said that there are a lot of ghosts here than on cemeteries."

"Now were back on being Mr. Tanjuatco and Ms. Santillan again."

"Of course we are! It's already Monday! Allowed lang ang Kyron and Avery every Fridays after work up to Monday midnight."

"I wasn't informed about that rule."

"Now you know."

Nilayasan ko na siya pagkatapos noon. Inasikaso ko ang mga bills niya and it turned out that he was one of the owners of the this private hospital. Malapit ko na talagang isipin na lahat na lang ng bagay sa kanya na. Isama mo pa ang puso ko.
