I run. I’m running. I keep on running and running. Why God didn’t inform me when I was a kid that my life will be a movie marathon. I tired, very tired. My throat is already drying. Water! I want to drink water. The weather here is draining me more. It’s so hot in the afternoon yet I am here- running.
I’m also tired of hiding. I just wanna live a peaceful life. Why they keep on chasing me? They won’t benefit from me for the reason that my family is feeding me and I don’t have work, that’s what they called to me. I am the stupidest and less beautiful, less talented and less skillful among my half siblings. My sister told me that I am a burden in our family, and she also told me that I am lazy even though I already clean the whole house.
By the way I am their maid in the house and everyday they slapping on my face that I am their burden because I don’t have work.
They also told me that I look like a phone because I keep on scrolling in the social media for whole day and that’s the least thing that is not true. The truth is I am a princess. A stunning princess.
When I saw a taxi stops in front of me I hurriedly get in.
“Brother, everywhere! Bring me everywhere that far from here! I will pay! I will pay any amount! Just get me out of here!” I say while my hands are trembling and my heart is keeps on pumping faster than the normal heartbeat. I m scared that they gonna caught me. My forehead is also sweating and my clothes are already wet for the reason that I run from those chubby subordinates. I’m also breathing fast. I can’t rest peacefully knowing I am in this place and they are near on me.
The chance that they caught me is so high.
I didn’t notice the looks of the driver in front me for the reason my focus is on those chaser. “Brother!” I called him again because he didn’t reply to me and didn’ speak. What this driver problem? I look to the driver in front and my forehead creased. He doesn’t look a taxi driver, he looks a rich man. His cloth is well iron and he’s also wearing a coat and white polo long sleeve inside. My eyes drop on his wrist watch. Woah! That’s looks expensive. I think he also smell goods.
“Brother c’mon let’s go!” I hurriedly and nervous command him, “turn on te engine and I will pay you! Let’s go! Someone is chasing me that’s why I am in hurry and I am not a snatcher or kidnapper okay?” I cleared to him. He might mistaken me from being like this.
I do not want to choke! I am already strangle to my family, I am already strangle on how they treat me then they wants me to get married to the man that they chose. That’s hella crazy! They just want money and fame! They’re just only thinking about themselves. What a loving family they are! I don’t want to get married to a miserly man! I don’t have a work then I am going to marry that kind of man? No way in my not so secy body! Even though I have a lot of pimples all of over my body, I deserve better! I know what I deserve!
Once again I look at my back to see if they are here and I haven’t seen them. I turned my gaze again to the taxi driver and he’s mysterious looking at the rear mirror. I also look to what he is talking.
"Hi." I shyly greeted him and I smiled.
I am with someone and I didn’t notice. I am to occupied to those chaser.
He's wearing suit, serious look and he is only staring in front. I greeted him but I deserve nothing. He looks mean.
His suit looks expensive and high quality. There’s ansmall embroid in the hem of his suit and I look at his watch. I wanna steal that watch from him! I will be rich! His shoes are shining in black. This man looks expensive, he also smell sandalwood.
He's tall and White skin. Foreigner again. For sure, he is rich and have a lot of money. He is okay to my taste but I don’t like foreigner, they hard to talk too. I don’t know how to speak English well and my nose is bleeding talking to them. They also have a accent that I don’t understand every time they are talking.
I bow my head slightly and hold on his arm when I notice those chubby men that passed by in this car.
Is his car is tinted? I am silently praying that they didn’t notice me. The cloth of his suit is so soft and cool.
They are in front of the car and looking everywhere of the place. I bite my lips hardly in nervousness.
One of the look at this car and I his my face in man sitting besides me and his sandalwood smells gets into my nostril. I also hug his body and he stilled a little bit. He seems shocked to what I did. I like hugging him, he is really really smells so good. I’ll just iron his suit later.
Oh my! He also smells like a dollars! If my father choose him for him I wouldn’t think twice to marry him and I won’t complaint for the rest of my life. He looks so damn rich and he smells like a dollars!
Talking to him wouldn’t be a problem because there is a translator online.
I lifted my gaze and my eyes grew bigger when I saw a one subordinates near in this window and he is looking everywhere too. I wanna get nervous and scared but the smell of this man that I am hugging is eating my whole system.
"Don’t give me to them." I beg and almost crying. I bit my lower lip because of nervousness.
If the got me that will be my dead end.
“Brother!” I called the driver almost begging, “can you turn on the engine and let’s get out of here? I am willing to pay.” I cried but no tears.
That driver looks at this man besides me that he’s asking for a signal and this handsome man nods his head slowly and softly. When the car starting to move I breath in peace. Today is my lucky day.
I tilt my head and our faces are inches closer to each other. He’s really handsome and his hair is shining in black. Clean cut, he has thin lips and his lips are color pinkish rose blended with red. Kissable lips mwa! He is handsome and delicious! I giggled in that thought.
His eyebrows are also thick, looking at him he looks powerful and respectable. Is he a prince? Or maybe he is a son of a politician? If he is a prince then we are meant to be each other! I am so mesmerized to hsi beauty.
My pimples got shy.
I sat straight and get my hands off when he cough softly.
“Sorry.” I apologized and I saw that he fix his suit in front of me. I don’t have germs and I am clean. He looks that he have high standard and picky.
I whole ride we’re all silent and I don’t know where we are going. I am comfortably sitting. I got my phone from my bag to call my friend to fetch me but I can’t fing my old smart phone and I don’t bring my wallet. I started to panicked.
Why did I forgot my wallet?!
This is the end of me! I told them that I’ll pay them for helping me but I don’t have money. What a shame!
This is double trouble na this. What I am gonna do? Run again?
"Can I borrow your phone?" I asked in lower tone to the man besides me, he didn’t blink nor look at me. He’s looking in front. Why he is not looking at me? He never look at me.
I yelled, he might have a hearing problem that’s why he didn’t hear me. “Can I borrow your phone?!” I asked in top of my lungs and he didn’t answer me.
The driver look at us.
"Can I borrow your phone? I’ll just call someone. I promise,” I raise my hand making a promise, “ I won’t stole your phone.” I assured him. While saying those words my mouth is in his left ear so that he hear me.
"No." He answered shortly without looking at me.
I know that I am not beautiful but why he is not looking at me? I smelled my armpit to make sure that I don’t have bad odor. I smell like a sun.
Huh, he knows how to talk. He don’t have speaking problems but he have hearing problems. Major turn off.
"This is emergency.” I replied shortly while still staring at him.
"No." He answered coldy. I felt a snow in this car when he answered me. He is like a robot. One question one answer, sometimes he is not answering me. He is not moving and he is only looking at the road in front.
I move my hands in front of him but he didn’t blink.
Is he a human? Why he is not moving and making a reaction?
"Wow! This is cool!” I reacted in amusement. “Brother this is super cool! We’re with a robot!” I am so amaze. This is my first time to talk and invented a robot in person. They are so cool. Human are really genius when it comes to technology.
“Is this invented brother? And how much you bought him? And who invented him?... many people said that many robot are gonna live in this planet. Human are different they really know how to ruin this planet.” The driver laughs at my thoughts.
“Or you are a businessman?!” My eyes grew bigger.
Robots are genius maybe I can ask him who is the riches man in the world. I giggled.
I changed the subject. "brother, can I borrow your phone?" I made a puppy eyes pa ako.
"No." This robot besides is the one who answered in a hard tone. I am not talking to him why he is the one who answered?
"You’re a ill tempered huh. I’m just borrow a phone to call someone and I won’t stole it” I rant madly. “And besides you’re not the one I ask! Can you please shut up?!” I scold him. The driver must turn him off so he might not talk anymore.
“They way they made you is not good. Maybe you are a trial and error.” I rolled my eyes at him.
They made a attitude robot.
I heard the driver laughs. “Ma’am he is not a robot. He is my boss.” The driver told while suppressing his laughs. What’s funny?
I nod at him.
I face this cold man, “I forgot my phone, okay? I don’t have any bad intentions at all. I just wanna call my friend and besides I am inside of your car. The car is moving how can I do something? Don’t you have common sense.?” He is handsome but he is not using his brain. Don’t he know the critical thinking?
This man cross his arms under his chest and look at me coldly. His eyes are frozen cold. I felt cold whenever I look at his eyes.
"Why they are chasing you?" He asked me seriously.
“Secret.” I am playing with him, “borrow me first your phone and I will tell you everything.” I smiled playfully at him. “Please.” I shook his shoulder. He needs to say yes.
He got a handkerchief in his pants pocket and he use that to from my hands from his body and my mouth hang open. What the… the?!
Is he for real?
"You are so picky!” I feel insulted to what he did. I don’t have germs or virus! I always sanitized. “I am more clean than you!” I fight. I glared at him.
“And I am daughter of a king so please treat me nicely.” I warned him.
He looks away and close his eyes deeply. I sense that he is not happy to what I acted and he also looks irritated. Serves you right!
He breath in and out slowly. It seems he is stopping himself from exploding.
