Sandara's POv

It's already 10 o'clock  in the evening when I got back home. As expected, mom and dad is waiting, sitting on the couch waiting for the victim of the night. They're both staring at us with a serious expression on their faces as Kris and I came in. Well, I understand why they have that kind of expression.

"Dee. Can you explain what happened there?"

Dad was the one who spoke while mom kept her lips shut. How I wish she was the one who speak first. 

"Everything happened there, everything you heard, it's all true Mom, dad, this is Kris, my boyfriend."

I said. Of course, it's a lie. But I need to. I already agreed to it. How I wish by the end of everything I will win an award.  Best actress dapat,  ang hirap kaya nito?!

"Baka gusto mong ipaliwanag sa akin kung ano yung mga nangyari kanina?"

Sabi ko bilang pagputol sa katahimikan na bumabalot sa loob ng saksakyan.
Kris sighed but the expression on his face didn't change at all.

"Sorry for dragging you in this situation."
He said without looking at me.

"So, ganun na lang yon? After you announced that we're getting married in two months? Everyone heard it. The whole restaurant heard your announcement.  How can I explain to them? And not just that. You stole my first kiss! "

Napatingin siya sa akin.

"That was your first kiss? Seriously?"

Sabi niya na para bang hindi kapani-paniwala yung sinabi ko.

"Mukha ba kong nagbibiro? At saka, saan mo ba ko balak dalhin? Can you just bring me back to the restaurant?"

"I'll bring you back later."

Sabi niya saka naglagay ng earphones sa tenga. Wtf. Parang wala siyang paki- alam sa nangyayari!

"Manong, san po ba tayo pupunta?"

Tanong ko sa driver.

"Sa Deanna's mansion po."

Simpleng sagot niya.

"Sa bahay ni sir."

"What?!!!!".

Agad akong bumaling kay Kris para magreklamo pero paglingon ko, nakapikit na ito at nakasandal sa may bintana. His face is so gentle. His eyebrows,his cheeks, his lips... it's all perfect. Wait, ano ba tong iniisip ko? *sighs*

"Hey, Kris."
Tawag ko sa kanya pero di siya umiimik.

"Ma'am, pasensya na po pero kung pwede hayaan niyo lang si sir Kris matulog. Mahihiluhin kasi siya eh, pag nasa loob ng sasakyan. Saka, kailangan niya ng pahinga."

Sabi nung driver. Sa accent ng pananalita niya, mukha siyang Batangeño.

"Ah, ganon ba. Sorry."

Sabi ko na parang ako pa yung nahiya.

"Manong, matagal na ba kayong driver ni Kris?"

Tanong ko.

"Ay opo ma'am. Bata pa lang iyang si sir ei, ako na ang personal driver niya-an. Taga hatid at sundo sa school at kung may mga pinupuntahan."

"Ahh, so kilala niyo na po siya ng husto."

"Parang ganoon na nga. Pero malihim kasi yang batang iyan eh. Pero mabait po yaan. Ay bilib nga ako sa batang yan eh.  Sa murang edad, nagpapatakbo na siya ng ilang business nila. Kahit nagaaral pa. Yun nga lang, ako'y naaawa sa kanya minsan dahil halos wala na siyang oras para sa sarili
