Chapter 3

"Napano yun?" It was Julius curiously asking me. Napaawang ang labi ko. "I have no idea." Napayuko ako ng mapagtantong lahat sila ay nakatingin sa akin.

"Hmmm...." Ani julius na hindi ko na lamang binigyang pansin. Good thing that he continued eating dahil kung magtanong pa ito ng kung ano, wala na akong maisasagot pa.

Gavien volunteered on washing the dishes. Siya na daw bahala noong matapos na kaming kumain, he's a great cook! Masarap ang luto niya. Crush ko na siya. Hehe

"Hosea! We're all from the same university right?" Aalis pa lang sana ako sa may dining table pero biglang nagtanong si Julius na kasama ko ngayon kaya natigil ako sa pag-alis.

"Oo." Tumayo na ako at tumayo din siya. Kuryuso akong tumingin sa kanya. He smiled devilishly.

"Aalis kami ni Samuel, tambay lang. Gusto kong sumama ka." Sabi nito na siyang nagpakunot ng noo ko.

"Sige ka, pag hindi ka sumama palagi akong bubuntot sayo!" Dagdag nito at aba may pagbabanta na. Umirap ako.

"Akala mo naman matatakot mo ako? Tsss....." Tinalikuran ko ito at umakyat patungong kwarto.

"Hosea naman ih!" Dinig kong pagdabog nito pero hindi ko pinansin, childish.

I am so damn near in my room, so near that I could almost touch it but unfortunately I can't. With this tall lean man towering in front of me.

He stormed out kanina, why is he suddenly in front of me? Napaatras ako remembering how the way he looked at me kanina sa dining.

"When will you choose someone between us five?" His question is so unexpected. I gulp the liquid that's left in my speechless mouth.

"I-I don't know." The heck I stutter and look away. Humalukipkip ito. Napaisip tuloy ako, it's not even a week when we all move here.

"Julius, Samuel, Israel, and Gavien. Choose one of them already. I no longer want to stay here." Agad akong gumilid ng lagpasan ako nito.

My heart beat beats like I'm in a race. Unconsciously my eyes wandered around the hall, sa dami pa naman ba kasing choices bakit ang kwarto pa ni Elon ang katabi ko?

I spend the whole day reading a book in my room. Wala naman akong balak na lumabas man lang, nakakatamad lang. Daddy called me kanina, natawa ako dahil he really called me when mom's not around, siguro nasa meeting si Dad noong tumawag ito.

The suitors and I eat dinner silently. Well, not really because Julius is looking at me with an expression that I hurt him big time.

Bakit ba kasi ang lapit ng pwesto nito sa akin, sa gitnang dulo ulit ako umupo at sa left side ko ay sina Julius, Gavien at Elon. Sa right side naman ay sina Samuel at Israel.

I honestly hate my pwesto but unfortunately I can't change seats na.

"Sabay-sabay tayong papasok bukas, A limousine will drive us there." Ani Gavien na siyang bumasag sa katahimikan.

"Gusto ko airplane."

"Ikaw bahala." Sagot nito kay Julius. Julius smirks and look at Israel's direction. Napansin ito ni Israel.

"I won't." Sabi niya na para bang alam niya kung anong gustong ipahiwatig nito.

"Pero your family owns an Airline! Come on Israel!" Julius exclaimed.

"Ayaw ko."

"Bilhin mo nalang yung airline nila." Samuel suggested jokingly. Julius face lit up. "Good idea!"

Masamang tingin ang pinako ni Israel sa kanila. "Should I both buy your companies instead?" He suggested seriously. Aapila pa sana ang dalawa pero natikom din ng magsalita si Gavien.

"Enough with that. You all have everything why buy someone's company?" Gavien's word shoot daggers into their mind.

Tahimik lamang akong kumakain at pinagmamasdan ang tatlong natahimik. So they're all really rich huh?

I can't believe it. We're all rich but we can't marry someone who's low in status, or someone whom we fell in love with.

Iba ang kaso ko, I have to marry one of them, Dad chooses five suitors para makapili ako at kung kanino man ako mahulog ay ayos lang kay dad basta nasa mga suitors ko iyon.

My gaze then land upon Gavien who's silently eating. Even the way he eats screams so much handsomeness and his aura is just too different from the others. Napatingin din ako sa katabi nito. Well, pareho sila ni Elon na may kakaibang aura. Mabilisan kong iniwas ang tingin ko kay Elon, mahirap na baka mahuli ako nito at mag walk out ulit.

"Hosea, monday bukas. May date tayo." Utas ni Gavien, tipid akong ngumiti rito at tumango.

The suitors and I will be dating depende sa schedule nila.

Monday is my date with Gavien. Bukas na. May pasok pero I'm curious of what kind of date is he planning to do?

I'm curious, but all in all, I'm excited.

Finally! A date with my ideal man!
