I LOVED YOU IN A LIE

I was walking in a highway when I saw many people on the center of the road. I heard them all saying "OH MY GOD" that is why I got closer to them because I was so curious!

Then I was shocked for what I saw! I was like OH MY GOD but the worst part was that my screams got louder so they were all looking at me.

Did I realize that my voice has become louder? How come I saw a man lying on the ground with full of blood! Oh, it's shocking!

I wonder why no one helped? Where's the ambulance!! But I was embarrassed when Ale said that he was coming, so I looked at the man lying on the road.

In fairness handsome! Yes, guys he is really handsome! I really stared at it, but it was interrupted or stopped when someone yelled at me saying set aside! So strong! Is it like a microphone? Of course I stepped aside and it was embarrassing!

So that's it, they carried the corpse joke! The guy rather hahaha. He's not dead yet because if he's dead, IT'S A HUGE THING! They had already boarded the man when the sir suddenly asked who knows the man, no one answered, then suddenly he looked at me and said "YOU MISS!" then I was pulled into the ambulance.

I didn't do anything. I can't refuse. I still feel sorry for myself instead! I also intend to sleep during the day because I have the day off from the mall I work to.

So that's it, I don't know what and how many hours we traveled to the hospital, all I know is that we arrived. Everyone in the E.R. panicked. After they got out of the man in the ambulance, I went down and feeling close, I went inside but I stopped because they said I couldn't go into the operating room, so I just waited outside.

I am bothered honestly, not because of the man but because I'm asking why I'm here.

What I'm thinking now is that I really want to sleep. It's four o'clock in the afternoon already. So annoying!

A little while later, a nurse came to me and asked some questions about the man's background and status, I was speechless! because I don't know how to answer it hahaha. I even don't know his name! Gosh! What I hate is when she told me "WHY DO YOU SEEM TO NOT KNOW ABOUT YOUR BF? YOU ARE SO LUCKY!"

I don't know but it's like I want to hit her but just I calm down. I still managed to smile at the nurse even though deep in my heart I wanted to be spanked her. Countless hours passed finally the doctor came out with a smile. Why the doctor is smiling? Doc's reaction made me nervous! Is the man okay?

"YOU ARE? the doctor asked me. I swallowed because I didn't know what to say. Who am I? What do I have with that man?

"FRIEND DOC" I just said.

Then the doctor said the man was going to be moved to the VIP room. Wow! VIP? For real!? Then he added that he would just monitor his condition and wait for him to wake up and then I said YES. That's all I answered. Then they left me.

I looked for the VIP room number 10 that I was told was where my 'new friend' was taken haha. I'm going crazy! So, I got to VIP room number 10 and wow! I was surprised by its size and breadth! The room looks like a bungalow house. Maybe this is rich man?

I approached the man's bed and looked at him. I felt sorry for him. Where is his family? or his wife or girlfriend? Oh my! Why is this handsome boy wandering around?

It was hit and run! I sat next to him and I didn't know what to do, I just was sitting there while I stared at his face. I want to go home but his family has no intention of going to see him I think.

I felt hungry so I got up and was about to go out but a woman came with a tray full of food. I was surprised but I felt hungry. She said that it was for me so I ate it.

I didn't ask about the man and the only thing she told me was that I should take care of the man and that I wouldn't let him go because I was lucky to have him. What does this sister saying? I just helped him that's it! And whoever it is, I don't care!

I don't know how long I can stay here. I have done everything as far as I know but the boy still hasn't woken up, by the way his name is 'Steven Kyle De Lavida' I saw it on his chart.

I didn't even give a statement about him anymore, I feel like they already know him. From his last name, it looks sound familiar, I think I just heard it somewhere but I can't remember. But that's not important because right now I want to go home and sleep.

I was surprised when four men suddenly entered the room, they were wearing suits and had big bodies but their faces were gentle. They just smile at me but I hesitate to smile at them. Suddenly they bowed to me so I was so shocked for their sudden actions.

What's up? What trip do they have? Am I being tripped up? They handed me a folder, I didn't want to accept it but they were insisting so I just took it.

I was surprised by what I saw! For real? Is this true? Okay I will just say it. I just saw there that I would get a million pesos as a reward for helping this man. Oh gosh! I really can't believe it to the highest peak!

So, that's it, I don't want to accept it but these brusque it seems that they won't give up! They are forcing me to sign the paper which is I am not aware of what it is. But unfairness, there's a million things to talk about here!

What if I take it and relax in life haha, I totally don't know them and they don't know me either. I even asked the boys "what if I don't sign? What will happen to me?" they said that whether I like it or not I will take the money. I was suddenly afraid.

I'm just a poor person to fight these giants. But I'm the proud type. I don't take anything lightly especially when it comes to money, so in the first place Sir Ambulance just forced me to accompany this man and now I'm in a situation where I don't know what to do. PRIDE OR MONEY SELF? What's up?

I asked again whether or not I can accept the money but one of them said that if I don't accept the "MASTER" himself will come to me to talk to me. Lahh! What have I gotten into? Master? Could it be the mafia or maybe Chinese triads? I'm upset! Please don't! Maybe I'm just overreacting?

They must have seen that I was scared so they said that I shouldn't worry they said that Master has no bad intentions towards me but just to thank me, and that the money is the payment or reward for my goodness. Howdy self!? Are you a girl with long hair?

What now? Do you think to yourself? Money or pride?

I was thinking, I will not accept the money and if that Master wants to thank me personally, well I am available as always as long as I want them to respect my decision. Why!? Even though I'm poor please I am different from other. I am Ms. NAZLI LEIN ALCANTARA the ranger of the North! And the universe of Luzon! Just a joke. Give it to me! Just now only please!

By the grace of God, they didn't force me to sign the paper and accept the money and at least I could explain my side. Then they said to me before they left that if possible I should look after Mr. Steven Kyle because his family is busy right now.

Really!? Other things are more important than their child? It's also strange, isn't it? How busy are they? So that at least they could set aside an hour to visit him. And the funny thing is that Master TRUSTED me that I would not let Señorito down. Wow! Huh?

He even gave me responsibility? And if he can demand to me it was purely! What about my job if I don't leave this person?

But they said that the Master will take care of my work! Master is really good! That Master is indeed found! It's like he's very respectable and big person!

Since, I'm kind and have a heart, it's like I don't accept Master's favor because the truth is, and this guy is poor. Hey! I do not know! I just I felt bad for him. That's all!

The men are left and I was left there with the man. They even left me five paper bags that were clothes that were for me and those I could use, and if I needed anything else, I would just call them. Wow! Go girls!

Honestly, it took a while for this guy to wake up! I wouldn't be surprised that when he woke up he was in a COMA STATE haha. Is he enjoying his sleep?

At eleven o'clock at night when I suddenly woke up because I seemed to hear something like a growl, I looked at the man and he was already awake and trying to shake his head. Your aunt is confused! I do not know what to do.

After a while, some nurses and the doctor came in. wow huh!? Are they on red alert? So, the guy woke up completely and to be honest, Gosh! He's handsome! He was handsome when he fell asleep but he's more handsome now he's awake! Yes guys!

But I'm sad because the man's face is serious. He is very cold. Then they obviously respect him and feared him.

While the doctor was looking at his pulse rate, he looked at me with no emotion! He was just looking at me! Barely blinked!

I don't know if I will smile at him or not, but your aunt is really nice, I don't want to be a poker face in front of him, especially since he is handsome, but it's annoying because he just made me suffer! Wow! For real!?

I smiled at him but he turned out to be the poker face to me!? How dare he is!

Thank you and you are handsome because otherwise who are you to me!

Finally, the grumpy prince's check-up ended and we were the only two left. His aura was serious and he didn't seem to have any intention of talking to me, so I was the first to speak and broke the silence but before I could speak he was the first to say that I can leave! What the!? I'm about to run out of patience.

Only a little left! I'm disgusted by his behavior! Not happy at all! Okay I'm leaving! Take care of his life! I picked up my bag and was about to leave but my cell phone rang. A new number appeared on my phone screen. I was annoyed to answer the call but before I could say anything the person on the other line said that I could not leave.

I can't leave the man! Yes! He's begging me to stay and to take care of him. The person on the other line introduced himself as "Master". To be honest, I'm disgusted but the old man seems to be pleading. Yes, as far as I can tell based on his voice, if I'm not mistaken, this was his father and seems to be old.

I looked at the man and he was busy on his cell phone as if he was not aware of what was happening. I slumped my shoulders looking at him. I feel like I want to grab the mobile phone he was holding and destroy it.

"WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?" I only gave him a dog smile and then I returned to the seat near him. Why!? Is he looking for something? I'm game there! He frowned and looked at me seriously. Surprisingly, since he woke up he didn't even smile! Maybe he has a mood swing.

I told him that someone called me and he asked me to stay here and watch him but you know what's annoying? Nothing! Not even a reaction! What the hell? I'm like wind in front of him!

I took the phone he was holding and then I put it on the table that he couldn't reach. He looked at me very sharp and serious. His aura is scary but his handsomeness is still overflowing.

Thin lips that are good to be kiss. Medium sized eyes, long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, sharp nose, oval shaped face, tall and obviously rich but what's annoying is he is grumpy!

"GIVE ME MY PHONE!" he said authoritatively but I didn't listen, instead I just crossed my both arms in front of him. Why am I the one to give up on him? Well, even though you are handsome, the word surrender is not in my vocabulary okay?

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" It was obvious that he was annoyed by the expression on his face. The feeling is scary but I still feel that he will not hurt other people, especially a woman like me. Char!

"THE MASTER SAID I WILL STAY HERE" I replied artfully haha.

"I AM THE ONE WHO SAID, YOU CAN LEAVE NOW" he pushed even harder.

"YOU ARE GLAD BECAUSE I'M KIND TO YOU" I teased.

"I DON'T NEED YOU" was his simple answer, but I seemed to understand. Yes, right? Who am I to him? Who is he to me?

"OK FINE!" I answered annoyed. Who is he for me to force my goodness on him? If he doesn't appreciate my kindness, don't do it!

"BEFORE YOU LEAVE GIVE ME MY PHONE FIRST" he ordered me. See? Very demanding.

"THEN GET IT! DID YOU TELL ME YOU DON'T NEED ME?" I smirk haha.

"PLEASE" he begged. What the hell? He's so cute! Why is he like that? What he said was so romantic?

Shit! When he said that, my annoyance with him seemed to melt away!? Oh he's fine, because I'm kind I gave him his phone back and he took it right away. I'm just standing.

"YOU CAN LEAVE NOW" he said again. So it means it's just a prank that he said 'please' earlier? Am I wrong?

"BY THE WAY DON'T FORGET TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND NEVER COME BACK" he said. Yes! that's what he told me! It hurts!!

"I'M REALLY NEVER GOING BACK! YOU'RE STUPID!" I'm completely bored.

"SAY WHAT!? SAY IT AGAIN?" repeating it.

"DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TASTE THE HELL COMING FROM ME!" I shout at him but he didn't speak, he just gestured with his hand, which meant that he was sending me away. I'm so annoyed!

Sometimes I can't control myself when I get angry and insulted.

My eyes are really burning and my nose I feel it is burning. I was annoyed by his action so I grabbed his cell phone and dropped it on the table. He thought I'm joking? He can't even stand up because he can't yet. He also has the courage to fight the dragon of the north!?

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING STUPID WOMAN!" he yelled at me making my head even hotter. Honestly, I want to punch him!

"OH! I AM STUPID! GET YOUR PHONE YOURSELF! IDIOT!" I also cursed and left. I still heard him yelling at me but I ignored it and left completely. Annoying! he is handsome but his behavior is ugly. That's bullsh*t honestly!

STEVEN KYLE DE LAVIDA

I hate that woman ever! Damn! She insulted me! She's crazy woman! Where did that Amazon girl come from! and why does daddy know him? I'm disgusted!

After a while, a nurse entered my room, brought food and handed me her phone. Daddy's calling. I don't want to answer his call. I'm too tired to talk to him but this nurse insists because he says he's angry and he's been calling me constantly even on my phone because I can't get since it was far from me and I can't stand up.

"YES DAD?" I answered sluggishly.

"WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT KYLE, THE WOMAN YOU KICKED-OUT EARLIER WILL WATCH YOU" he said.

"DAD?" I said calmly

"KYLE, I KNOW SHE'S A GOOD WOMAN. SHE WOULDN'T HELP YOU IF IT SHE IS NOT CONCERNED AT YOU" he added.

"WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME DAD?" I change the topic

"I DON'T KNOW. WE'RE NOT SURE. YOU'RE MOMMY NEED TO LOOK CAREFULLY. THEN YOU ARE CARELESS THERE!" his sermon. I didn't say anything. I don't want to argue with him.

"THE ONE WHO BUMPED INTO YOU IS BEING SEARCHED SO PLEASE KYLE TREAT NAZLI KINDLY"

"WHY DO YOU KNOW HER?" I asked curiously

"SHE'S WORKING IN OUR MALL AS AN ANNOUNCER" he answered.

Oh really! Tsk! That's why her voice is so beautiful but I still don't like her because she's loud. I hate noisy people.

"OK DAD, DON'T WORRY I'LL BE KIND TO HER" I just said though I'm not sure if I'll be really kind to that girl.

"JUST MAKE SURE KYLE. BY TOMORROW I WILL GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL TO WATCH YOU" he concluded.

"IT'S OKAY TO HER?" my hesitation.

"I WILL DOUBLE HER SALARY JUST FOR YOU KYLE, SO PLEASE BE KIND TO HER"

"DAD, HOW IS SANDRA?" I change again the topic. Yes, Sandra is my fiancée who is in Hawaii now. She's a doctor and a model at the same time. Daddy knows what I mean; I don't want her to know that I'm here at the hospital. I don't want him to worry about me.

"DOESN'T WORRY HE WILL NOT KNOW THAT YOU HAD AN ACCIDENT, JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET HEALED AND FIXED WHILE WE ARE NOT THERE" he instructed.

Well, I know what I'm doing, Daddy is just like that. He's too caring. They were in America for one month, so I managed the company first. I was just forced to go home here in the Philippines from Hawaii because I have to.

Mom needs to be treated well because she is in critical condition with her breast cancer. For the sake of our family and our business I went home and left Sandra.

"OK DAD" I just said and hung up.

Speaking of Sandra, she's calling

"YES HON?" my answer

"LET'S MAKE A VIDEO CALL HON" she said. What the f*ck! It's not possible because he can see that I'm in the hospital.

"HON LATER. I'M ON A MEETING HON" I made an excuse.

"I HAVE WRONG TIMING AGAIN. IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS" he pleaded. I know her reaction now, she is frowning again and her lips are pouting. She's so cute.

"SORRY HON, I WILL CALL YOU LATER WHEN I'M NOT BUSY" I coaxed.

"KYLE I MISS YOU ALREADY! WHEN WILL YOU BE BACK HERE?"

"I DON'T KNOW HON. YOU KNOW MY REASON WHY I'M HERE RIGHT?" I'm still persuading.

"BUT HON ONE MONTH IS TOO LONG" she dramatized.

"HON UNDERSTAND ME PLEASE! JUST FOR ONCE. YOU KNOW THAT DADDY AND MOMMY NEEDS ME" I explained. She didn't speak and I heard a man's voice saying 'let's go'

"KYLE I HAVE TO GO" then it turned off. I'm used to getting calls off from her. I also know that she has many male friends but I don't pay attention to that because I trust her and I love her.

But sometimes she is rude, sometimes she doesn't understand my situations just like now. Even though I want to go back to her, it's not possible because Daddy expects me to be the only one to manage our company. Besides, Daddy doesn't just trust anyone except Evander.

I have been here in the Philippines for one month and since I left Hawaii, Sandra and I have only talked twice through video calls. I don't want to see her because I'm going to miss her more.

NAZLI LEIN ALCANTARA

That guy is a badass! Did he call me STUPID!? What kind of man is that? He's handsome and then he treats women like that?

I pray that our paths will never cross again because if it does happen oh my! I don't know what to do with that badass man! It's a shame I'm tired of him!

I wasted my time on him and honestly that's the bullsh*t I've ever done! I arrived at the house in a hurry. I drank water first and was calming myself down when my cellphone rang. And who could it be?

"YES HELLO? WHO IS IT?" I asked sarcastically. Hangover from temper tantrum. Hey, it's not just drunk people who get hangovers, right? also with headache!

"HOW ARE YOU MRS. NAZLI?" voice from the other line. The voice is familiar to me it seems that will be the Master that was called me a while ago.

"IT'S OK SIR WHY ARE YOU CALLED?" Il asked.

Obviously Nazli! There are only two reasons, first he will scold you because you insulted his son or he will send you back to watch over that monster man.

"PLEASE MS. NAZLI I'M BEGGING YOU TO STAY WITH MY SON. WATCH HIM" he's pleasing me. It was right what I'm thinking.

"WE ARE NOT THERE IN THE PHILIPPINES TO WATCH HIM, I TRUST YOU MS NAZLI PLEASE!" he asked again. My heart melted honestly. I missed my Dad too!

That grass man is lucky because he has a father who worries about him while I don't have a father since my mother cheated and my only sister left me too.

I hate them! I wish Daddy hadn't died and I wish I hadn't endured as an announcer at the mall I went to! This is not the life I dreamed of. This is not the life I want to.

"SIR, I'M SORRY BUT I CAN'T GIVE YOUR REQUEST. YOU'RE SON IS VERY BIPOLAR SIR" I honestly stated.

"BUT MS. NAZLI AS A FATHER PLEASE! GIVE ME FAVOR I WILL DOUBLE YOUR SALARY OR I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT" he continued. I was annoyed but also pitied.

"SIR IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY" I answered with a raised forehead.

"I KNOW MS. NAZLI BUT I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE!" the old man almost cried.

Who am I to not soften the heart? somehow I am compassionate and caring.

"OKAY SIR I WILL" I finished.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH MS NAZLI! JUST BE PATIENT WITH KYLE AND I ASSURE THAT HE IS KIND" he continued to star in his bipolar and grumpy son.

"OK SIR, I'LL TRY TO GET HIM TOGETHER" I also answered.

"OKAY AGAIN THANK YOU! YOU CAN TAKE REST AND YOU WILL VISIT HIM TOMORROW TO WATCH HIM"

"OK SIR" I answered as I hung up.

I sat down! I'm just thinking that I'll see that man's face again, it's really annoying even though he's handsome. Yes, handsome but he has ugly behavior.

The next day I woke up early to visit that arrogant man again, not for him but for his father.

I just pray that I don't get sick of him. At this time I hope I'm still asleep because I have to go to the mall I go to at nine o'clock. I just took a taxi to get there quickly.

"GOOD MORNING SIR!" I opened to him. I'm really smiling.

"GOOD MORNING TOO" he also greeted me. It's a miracle that he also greeted me but he didn't the look on his face escaped my eyes. It's still serious.

"SIR HOW ARE YOU?" I pretended to be close

"I'M FINE. HOW ABOUT YOU?" I was surprised by his question. Really? how does he say to me? It's terrible!

"IT'S OK" I answered. Do you know that awkward feeling? I'm awkward. Why is he so handsome? Very intimidating!

"I'M HUNGRY. SINCE LAST NIGHT I HAVE NOTHING TO EAT" he complained

"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT? AH! WAIT I'LL ASK THE DOC FIRST WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO" I said and I didn't wait for him to answer and I immediately left the room.

It's hard, maybe I can feed him something that's not allowed, that's the reason for his death and I will be the one who persecuted. I went to the nurse station to look for assigned Doctor to Kyle De Lavida.

"EXCUSE ME. WHERE IS MR. DE LAVIDA'S DOCTOR?" I asked a nurse who was just sitting.

"OH! YOU ARE THE GUARD OF MR. DE LAVIDA" she replied with a smile. I just smiled at her too.

"DOC WENDELL IS COMING IN LATER MA'AM" she smiled openly. This nurse is so beautiful! My mind said.

"AH, OKAY. I JUST WANT TO ASK WHAT WILL BE THE FOOD THAT HE CAN EAT AND NOT TO EAT. HE'S HUNGRY, MA'AM," I explained.

"AH IS THAT MA'AM. HE CAN EAT EVERYTHING HE WANTS TO EAT EXCEPT APPLE, BANANA, AND PINEAPPLE INCLUDING JUICES OF THESE FRUITS BECAUSE HE IS ALLERGIC TO THOSE AND ALSO TO PEANUT BECAUSE HIS BLOOD IS SENSITIVE MA'AM" she explained.

What the hell!? You will be really like shit with his allergies! What kind of blood does he have? Terrible!

"ADD THAT MA'AM HE IS ALSO ALLERGIC TO EGG" he added. This is too much! It's too much.

"OK MA'AM, THAT'S NOTED" I replied with a smile as I said goodbye and went back to Kyle's room.

"MR. DE LAVIDA, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT?" I asked when I entered. He just lay there and closed his eyes. I don't know if he's asleep or not, it just as he doesn't move!

Yes! He's not moving!? Is he is dead! It can't be! I will be torn here! I'm seriously nervous!

I approached him and held his chest while I looked at his stomach in case it moved due to his breathing but I didn't see any movement!

He is really dead! Sh*t! I pointed my index finger in front of his nose but I don't know why I don't feel anything. I'm really scared guys! What should I do? Do I need to conduct CPR or call the nurse?

I wasn't satisfied yet and I brought my face closer to his chest to make sure. I stayed in that position for a while because I felt it.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he suddenly said. I almost jumped in shock. What a shame!

It's annoying too! He caught me in such a position and I wonder what he would think! He might think I'm fantasizing about him! Isn't that right? I straighten up immediately.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD" I said softly. His two eyebrows met as if he was annoyed by what I said

"YOU WANT TO EAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT?" I change the conversation to get rid of my shyness and nervousness.

"JUST MORNING BREAKFAST. IT'S UP TO YOU" he answered.

"OK" I replied and left.
