VLS 4: DESIRABLE TEMPTATION (ON HOLD)

Ilang araw nang nagtataka si Zarria kung bakit hindi parin siya kinokompronta ni Maximo sa pam-ba-block niya sa cellphone number, sa Facebook, IG at Twitter nito. Ilang beses pa niyang sinabihan ang sarili na huwag manghinayang dahil hindi nanaman sila maayos ng binata dahil ganoon naman sila madalas pero bakit ganito, hindi niya parin maiwasan ang mas lalong magtampo o dapat niya bang sabihin ay makonsensya. Isa pa'y ito yata ang may kasalanan at hindi siya.

Zarria held her luggage as she approached her twin brother who was gazing at her skirt. She knew by his stares what was running on his mind by that moment, he was totally against it again. She was wearing a black skirt with her white polo top. The three buttons on the top was freely opened and Zarrick finally shook his head looking at it.

"Wear your jacket, Zarria, and for Pete's sake stop showing your cleavage,the real deal is just your push bra" he scanned her one more time before walking out of their house. Nang-iinis ang sinabi nito sa huli but her mind was definitely elsewhere. Sa partikular na taong 'yon kaya wala din naman ang kanina pa pambubwisit nito sa kaniya.

Mariin na kibit balikat lang ang ginawa niya rito kasabay ang pagbuntong hininga niya. Walang pakialam sa sinabi ng kaniyang kapatid. One of their guards help her with her luggage. Siya naman ay nagtungo na sa passenger seat, putting her handbag on her legs. She slouched a bit when Zarrick started the car engine and went to drive.

"I'll promise to go there after you. Mom just gave me tasks and I have to handle those now so I can't go with you today" Zarrick said, taking glances at her as he talks.

Tamad niyang binuksan ang kaniyang cellphone at nag-scroll na lang sa kaniyang newsfeed. Her mother obviously had an idea that Zarrick wants to go with them because he will surely help her and her mother being the typical antagonist, leaving Zarrick here will be the best option for her. Just dmn it.

"I'll survive, just hope for it" sarkastiko na lamang niyang sabi.

"You can send me your activities if you need my help, I'll help you. Promise"

"Whatever. Kapag tamad nalang ako. You know Mom, malalaman at malalaman niya kapag wala akong natutunan so I have to keep my ass focus on my lessons. The only thing I'm hoping right now is Tita Teddy's will be my tutor again. She's a walking angel"

"But unfortunately she's in Cebu right now. Talia's wedding is on this month"

She groaned. Mabuti pa ang pinsan ni Cage na 'yon. Kahit na eskandaloso ay may nabingwit parin. Isang probinsyano na alam niyang allergic na allergic ang babae. Hindi parin niya alam kung anong klaseng gayuma ang namagitan sa mga ito, hindi niya lang mapaniwalaan kung paano nga ba nangyari ang dalawa.

"She really chose to get wed in a province, huh. I still remember when she cried knowing our trip will be in Villa Larra. She hates provinces!"

Buti na lang talaga at naligaw ni Zarrick ang kaniyang isipan palayo kay Maximo. Oo nga pala, she wanted to ask her twin about that man but she refuses to. She will just let him occupy her mind again, e, ano ngayon kung ayaw nitong magkomento o magreklamo sa pambablock niya. Maximo was the one who hurted her in the first place, there is nothing wrong with her vouching her tampo.

When their car stopped in front of the airport, Zarria heaved a sigh and went to Zarrick's side. Ang kaniyang kakambal na ang may hila-hila sa kaniyang maleta samantalang siya naman ay palinga-linga na.

She tried to text Elyse, asking if she's okay with her current problem just to divert her attention from expecting someone to come. She knew better that Maximo will not show himself just to kiss her goodbye especially after their worse fight.

Ang taas naman ng pride nito kung ganoon! Oo na! Siya na ang may mali! Inaamin naman na niya pero bakit wala parin ito at walang paramdam? Inaasahan niya ito ng personal dahil hindi naman ito magkakaroon ng kumunikasyon sa kaniya.
