Chapter 2: Prologue
"You had a crush on him since we entered this University, right?" Carlotta whispered in her ear loudly so she could hear her words vividly because of the noise inside the bar. She's pertaining to the guy who sat in the bar's corner. Silently sipping a wine from the glass he's holding.
"My heart says... it's love and not just a simple crush," she loudly whispered back.
"You said, you want to get rid of your virginity after we graduate. So, any prospect? There are a lot of hot guys in here." She scanned the whole area until her eyes halted to the same person.
"I want him," she answered shortly.
"I bet, you can't have him. He seems like an introvert."
"Your new Gucci bag and I'll have him before the night's end."
"I'm in. But, what will I get in return if you fail?" Carlotta smirked as she continued. "You'll give yourself into a random guy."
At first, Hope Anastasia hesitated. But when her eyes met Pio's eyes, she already felt victorious. "Deal!"
She walked towards Pio."Why are you hiding here? This is our last night here in L.A, we must enjoy ourselves."
"Hindi ko maiintindahan, lahat naman tayo na naririto ay mga Pilipino pero bakit salitang banyaga pa rin ang namumutawi sa mga bibig niyo? Kinain na yata kayo ng kolonyalismo."
She chuckled."Seriously? Ganun ka ka-devoted sa Filipino language?"
"Hindi ako pinag-aral dito ng mga magulang ko para kalimutan ang sariling wika," asik nito sa kanya bago nilagok ang natitirang wine sa baso nito.
Aalis na sana ito nang nawalan ng balanse. Mabuti na lamang at handa siya sa maaaring mangyare. Paanong hindi? She's the reason why this aloof guy is now unconscious.
She asked the bouncer's help to carry this man in her car.
After fifteen minutes of driving, she arrived at her apartment near at UCLA. Agad siyang bumaba at muling nagpatulong sa gwardiya na i-akyat sa kanyang unit si Pio.
"Is he your boyfriend?" The guard asked her suspiciously.
"He's my fiancé. He got drunk after drinking a liquor," she answered.
"He must be happy having a girl as beautiful as you," she rolled her eyes. Akala ba niya walang pakialam ang mga banyaga sa paligid nila? Bakit ang isang ito ay mausisa yata?
"Thank you for giving me a hand. I owe you one," pasasalamat niya nang maihiga na nito si Pio sa kanyang kama. Pagkatapos niya itong maihatid sa labas ng kanyang unit,agad naman niyang binalikan ang walang kamalay-malay na binata sa kanyang kwarto.
"I have planned to get rid of my hymen, and I want you to rip it first, Babe...," she mumbled.
"Tasia.... "
Her eyebrows furrowed. Did she hear it right? Palayaw nga ba niya noong bata pa siya ang sinambit nito?
"Yah, it's me, Tasia... " Ayaw niyang mag-assume pero para sa ikakatagumpay ng kanyang plano, she's willing to steal someone's identity.
Dahan-dahan niyang binuksan ang mga butones ng suot nitong long-sleeves. Parang hindi naman ito mapakali at tila init na init sa sarili.
"Are you in heat? Because, seeing your chest makes me shiver," para siyang baliw na kinakausap ito kahit alam naman niyang wala itong naiintindihan sa mga sinasabi niya. Nang mahubad na niya ang suot nitong pantaas, dahan-dahan niyan inilapit ang sarili rito. She gave his chest wet kisses. Damn! She feels like she's raping someone. But isn't she?
"T-Tasia..., " muli nitong sambit sa kanyang pangalan.
Tumingala siya upang titigan ang reaksyon nito. Base kasi sa tono nito, tila ba ay nasasarapan ito sa kanyang ginawang paghalik sa dibdib nito.
"Like it, Babe?"
Napasabunot si Hope sa sarili nang maalala ang kanyang ginawa kagabi. Basta nalang niya iniwan si Pio sa kanyang unit na tulog na tulog pa rin. Tama ba ang kanyang desisyon? Para sa isang Gucci bag nagawa niya ang bagay na alam niyang kakamuhian siya ng lalaki? Yes, she loved Pio the first day their eyes met. Paano kung hanapin siya nito at sampahan ng kasong ****? Nakakahiya sa part niya bilang isang babae.
"Ang tanga-tanga mo kasi, Tasia! Manggahasa ka rin lang naman, sa sarili mo pang unit ginawa. At iniwan mo pa talaga siya, ha?!" sermon niya sa sarili.
Samantala, may pagtataka namang iginala ni Pio ang mga mata palibot sa kwartong kinaroroonan.
"Where am I?" tanong niya sa sarili.
"Like it, Babe?"
Napasapo siya sa kanyang ulo nang may lumitaw na eksena sa kanyang balintataw. Did he just lose his virginity?!
"I'm going to hunt you, Hope Anastasia!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
