Chapter 1 -GGSS

"Take care always my princess." he paused, ang dalawang kamay ay ipinatong sa aking magkabilang balikat. "Remember that you can freely tell me everything okay? Your worries and such." He leaned in and place a kiss at my forehead.

"Always update me about your whereabouts, understood?" sabi ni mom na nasa gilid ko, she stretch out her arms and hug dad and I. I quickly wiped away the tears that suddenly fell in my cheeks. I will miss the both of them. I really do. Hindi ko inaasahang kailangan kong mawalay sa kanila ng mahabang panahon, in my 18 years of existence sanay na akong sila ang palaging nasa tabi ko. Childish man, but I'm always longing for my mother's arms, up until now.

"Suitors, I trust all of you. Take care of our daughter, No blood shall bleed inside this mansion, understand?" Dad said with a voice full of authority as he broke the hug.

"No problem Mr. Wilson! I guess Hosea and I will be close in no time." Ngiting sagot ng isa sa mga suitors habang nakatingin sa direksyon ko, pinagmasdan ko ito, this suitor has this friendly aura, mukhang madaling pakisamahan, and I hope we'll get along like he said.

Mahirap man tanggapin, pero oras na para mag paalam sa kanila.

"Don't be sad my princess, You can visit us every tth 'kay?" I smiled and wave my hand, mkm is inside the car at diretso lamang ang tingin nito sa harap ng kotse like it's moving but it isn't, si dad naman ay hindi pa rin matapos sa pagpapaalam sa akin.

"Should I just stay here with you my princess? 'Di ko kayang hindi ka nakikita." Naka-pout nitong sinabi. Light chuckles can be heard from me. Aww, who would have thought that this cold looking business man here is acting cute in front of his daughter?

He always wore this 'don't you dare talk to me' look when he's outside or working, but now, look at him.

"Are you out of your mind?! We have to let her live by her own and with the suitors. It's useless if you'll stay here." Hindi mapigilang pagsingit ni mom. Nakita ko ang sumilay na ngiti sa labi ni dad. Pilyong ngiti ang ginawad nito kay mom.

"Oh yes you're right! So we have some quality time together!" Dad said cheerfully, napasapo sa noo si mom at napa-irap. Gosh! What to do with this man?

Matapos ang walang katapusang pamamaalam, tinatanaw ko na ang kotse na sinasakyan ng aking mga magulang papalayo at unti-unting naglaho sa aking paningin.

"Your parents really loves you." Napaatras ako dahil ang lapit namin sa isa't-isa, my heart beat beats like crazy, he's so near! Napansin nito ang aking ginawa kaya he smiled apologetically.

"Hi! I'm Samuel." Nilahad niya ang kanyang kanang kamay habang nakangiting nakatingin sa akin. I awkwardly shook his hands and his smile grew wider. Madali ko itong sinuri, he's the guy with the friendly aura at mukhang madalas siyang ngumiti. He was about to open his mouth to speak but a voice stopped him.

"Hi! I'm julius!" Mabilisan kong sinuri ang sumingit, this guy is all smiles just like 'samuel' his aura has this terrifying feeling, mukhang nakakatakot pero hindi naman, he's body is well built, mukhang pinaghirapan. I awkwardly smile and introduce myself.

The three of us started talking comfortably. Luminga ako sa paligid ng mapansing nawala sa tabi ang tatlo pang. suitors.

"The three of them is inside the mansion, mukhang magpapahinga." Sagot ni Julius sa nagtatanong kong utak.

We talked about a lot of things. and to my surprise, I'm already comfortable with them within the short period of time. "The six of us will stay here for a year right?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Samuel habang nakatingala sa malaki at malawak na mansyong nasa harap namin. Samuel really admire the mansion that's in front of us. Pati nga ako namangha din.

"Let's all take a rest first." Suhestiyon ni Samuel, Sang-ayon ako sa suhestiyon niya at umakyat na patungo sa aking kwarto. We all got separate rooms, Magkakatabi lamang ito sa iisang hallway. Nasa dulo ang kwarto ko, nadadaanan ang kwarto ng lima. When I was about to enter my room a deep husky voice spoke. "Do you like me?" Nanlaki ang mata ko sa biglang tanong nito. Lumingon ako para makita kung sino ito, it's one of my suitors and I don't know him yet. This one has this cold and mysterious aura. He smirked when he saw my shocked reaction. "Chill, I know I'm handsome, no need to drool." Naka-taas kilay nitong sabi. Tinikom ko ang bibig ko, never na maglalaway ako sa lalaki! Never!

"You have too much self confidence, bawasan mo naman." All I can say as I quickly open the door for my room and quickly close it. The guts!

"I'm Israel by the way!" Dinig kong sigaw nito mula sa labas, napa-irap na lamang ako.

"How dare you ignore me! I'm too handsome to be ignored by someone!" Dinig kong reklamo nito. Tumalon ako sa aking malambot na kama at dumapa. So, Israel pala ang pangalan ng mahangin na to? Tsk. I close my eyes and drifted off to sleep, completely ignoring Israel who's been talking nonsense outside.
