I became like the flash because of how fast I went down the stairs just so I wouldn't get caught accidentally peeking at the couple having a party earlier.
I was so scared and nervous that I didn't continue going to the restroom, it was too dangerous. I'll just go up again later.
Just as I was arriving in the living room and about to sit down, someone spoke behind me.
"Oh, daughter, where have you been? We've been looking for you since earlier." I was startled by Nay Minda suddenly speaking.
Crazy, I haven't even recovered from what happened upstairs eh, I think I'm going to die here.
What's happening to the people in this house, I've been getting startled since earlier.
"Ahhmm, I-I just came from upstairs and just finished using the restroom." I excused myself to her while trying to calm myself down.
"Is that so, why are you pale? Are you feeling unwell, daughter?" Manang asked worriedly.
"Oh, no, Nay Minda, I don't feel unwell. I'm just hungry, that's why I'm like this," I answered hesitantly because I'm also a bit hungry and thirsty.
"Okay, come to the kitchen first to have a snack," she said while guiding me to the kitchen.
"Sorry, you've been waiting for almost thirty minutes. Maybe George and they are still asleep or having an important conversation, that's why they didn't come down immediately," she said while pouring juice into my glass.
Oh, no, Manang, the employers are wide awake now. They might still be talking, they're so intense with their conversation, with matching action pa. Someone may have been left hanging, and that's the ending of their conversation.
"It's okay, Nay Minda. I can wait anyway, because I don't have anything else to do today," I answered smiling. It looks like she's the one who's e-stressing for me eh.
I'm just annoyed because after Ma'am asked me to come here early and warned me not to be late, I'll only find them flirting with her husband. I was so excited because it was the first time she invited me to her house.
I don't think I want to go back here next time, I think I've been traumatized. They can do that during the night eh. It's just annoying, and it seems like she did it on purpose because she knew I was coming.
"Aren't you going to join me for a snack, Nay Minda?" She's just sitting in front of me and scrolling on her cellphone. How cool, she might be posting a status on fb haha.
"Oh naku hija, don't worry about me, I've already eaten just before you arrived earlier," she answered me while putting her cellphone down on the table.
"Have you been serving here for a long time, Nay?" I asked curiously, hoping that she could give me information about Ma'am.
"For a very long time, daughter, Berry was only seven years old when I started taking care of her until she got married. I've become too attached to her, and when she moved with her husband to this house, she also brought me with her," she said smiling at me.
"A-what, was Ma'am already like that before? Her being snobbish and so cold in dealing with people?" That's how I started to find out Ma'am's attitude, maybe she can give me tips on how to get her approval.
"She's always been a bit of a brat, especially when she was young, she always slaps anyone who annoys her, she doesn't spare anyone and she never lost, that's why no one can fight her," she said laughing.
"But you know, when you get to know her well and get her approval, you'll see how kind she is," she added, which made me stand up straight.
"Have they been married to her husband for a long time?" I asked again.
"They've been married for 5 years, and I don't know why they still can't have a child." She said disappointedly.
After a while, she spoke again.
"Do you know that Berry's first love and first boyfriend is George? He's the only man she cried for when they broke up." It felt like my heart was suddenly being squeezed by what I heard, so I just bowed my head and remained silent.
She really loves that husband of hers, that's why she wants to find out who he's having an affair with.
I just sighed at the information I got about Ma'am.
It hurts more to know how much she loves her husband compared to what I witnessed earlier.
I've been trying to understand myself for a long time that she has a husband and it's normal for things to happen inside the room, but to find out how crazy she is about that man, it's like my courage is dwindling.
It's disappointing, but it's not too late for everything, right? I haven't even started, and I'm already giving up? It can't be like that, we'll fight this.
Who knows, tomorrow or the day after, it'll still be like that, tsk, what a life.
"Oh Berry hija, it's good that you're awake because your visitor has been waiting for you since earlier. I've already fed her, you take care of it, okay? I still have to fix something outside," she said and went down for good.
I immediately felt her presence even without looking at it.
The anxiety I felt earlier came back when I remembered what she and her husband did.
That's why as much as possible, I'll try not to make eye contact with her, because the perfect image of her body keeps flashing back.
Don't be fragile yet, Sugar ha.
Wow! Here's the goddess wearing a black simple dress that's only knee-length and very tight on her body. She's so sexy, it's annoying. You're really fragile, sis, no matter what.
She's in front of me now.
"Good morning Nay, I'll take care of it." she said and smiled at manang.
Suddenly, my heart beat faster at what I was witnessing, for the first time I saw her smile. You can take me now, Lord.
I suddenly swallowed repeatedly while still staring at her face.
If she's like that every day, maybe I won't complain even if she always punishes me.
Imagine the maldita that the students are afraid of also knows how to smile, it's like my feelings suddenly lightened.
"MS. LACAFORTE!!" she suddenly shouted, causing me to come back to my senses.
"I've been calling you since earlier! But you're not listening, did you just come here to stare?" she added. Sorry, I'm just attracted, eh. Is it required to shout when talking to me?
"I'm sorry, Ma'am," I said bowing my head to apologize. How embarrassing to myself.
"Follow me!" she quickly evolved, I didn't even reach an hour to enjoy.
I immediately followed in case she'll explode in anger later.
She brought me to their swimming pool area.
It's also beautiful here, the width of the space can even hold a party here eh. It looks like a mini-resort in its design. Ma'am must be very rich.
"Can you please hurry up & just sit down already?!. You're wasting my time Ms. Lacaforte!. I didn't bring you here to loaf around and just enjoy" she shouted at me and it was obvious that she's been annoyed since earlier.
"Sorry, I just couldn't help but be amazed at how beautiful your house is," I said here and bowed my head because of shame.
"Whatever, just shut your mouth because you've been annoying me since earlier," she retorted again.
She's really shouting at me as if I owe her a lot. I'm just appreciating the things I'm seeing. She should be talking to me softly because she needs something from me. And it's obvious that she still doesn't trust me to treat me well.
"Maybe that's why she's hot-tempered." I whispered unconsciously.
"I heard you Ms. Lacaforte" how come she heard that?
"W-what?" I asked here but she just glared at me.
"I-I mean, maybe you're short on sleep, that's why you're hot-a-," I stuttered, but before I could finish what I wanted to say to her, she cut me off.
"Did you enjoy it?" She asked seriously without any emotion, which made me stop.
What did she say, enjoy it? What?
Oemji!, don't tell me she's referring to what happened earlier.
Oh Syet!
She knows I was there and watching?
