The way you look at me

The way you look at me

Celine has been hiding for years now–escaping from the marriage that her father wanted. Marrying someone she doesn't know for her is like killing herself in front of the church. She's a princess of a known country, and now she's living like a normal person. From branded clothes to cheap ones. From mansion to a small apartment. And now, she's working in a restaurant that her best friend owned. She's living now in the Philippines and still hiding her identity to everyone because she's afraid that someone might know her real identity, that's why she always puts on a wig and acts like a nerd. Everything's going smooth for her, then a man named Venz came. She never looks at the eyes of every man, but Venz was the exception. When she looked into his eyes, there's something that she couldn't explain. She thought that staring at that man's eyes would only happen once, but fate was playful when Venz asked her to be his fake significant other. Playing the song entitled "The way you look at me" —Christian Bautista

Chapter: Chapter 24
Naging maganda ang gising ko kinabukasan. What happened last night is still fresh inside my memory. Those sugar coated words feels like I am going to inject insulin in my body to make sure that my sugar level would be balance at baka mamaya magka-diabetic ako dahil sa pinagsasabi ni Pikachu kagabi. Lumabas na ako sa silid at bumaba. I was shocked when I saw a figure of Kena, turning her back on me while preparing for breakfast. Tumakbo na ako palapit sa kanya at niyakap siya mula sa likod. "I miss you." Halata naman na nagulat ito sa ginawa ko at muntik na niya mabitawan ang hawak na plato. Nilagay ni Kena ang plato sa lamesa at saka ako hinarap. "Muntik na 'yon." Sumimangot naman ako sa kanya. I was just ex

"Goodluck sa date ninyo ng Pikachu mo." Napailing ako, mapapansin mo talaga ang pang-aasar sa boses ni Naomi. Blood rises up to my face. "Shh… nakakahiya baka may makarinig sa 'yo." Nilibot ko ang tingin sa paligid, mabuti na lang at malayo ang mga tao sa 'min. Si Naomi talaga, putak nang putak. Tinapik niya ang balikat ko habang tumatawa. "Sige na, gora." I bid my goodbye to her and stepped out of the restaurant. Naghihintay ako ng sasakyan sa gilid ng kalsada. May nakita naman akong taxi na walang pasahero sa loob kaya kaagad ko 'yon na pinara. Kaso, shuta hindi tumigil sa harapan ko. Ayaw ba ng driver ng magandang pasahero? An

Kanina pa ako nakatingin sa repleksyon ko sa salamin. Because of what Pikachu said last night, I cannot sleep peacefully. Laging sumasagi sa isipan ko ang sinabi nito. Kaya ngayon, mukha akong zombie dahil sa laki nang eyebags na nakuha ko. Is he serious about the text he sent me last night? I couldn't help myself, but was thrilled by him. I stand. I need to be fresh, kaya maliligo na ako. I walk towards my closet and pick a towel then slung it over my shoulder before going to the bathroom. I take off my clothes and turn on the water and set the water temperature to warm, which makes me comfortable when having a shower. I step carefully into the shower and I feel the water flow all over my body. Ninana

"How was it?" Napatingin ako sa kanya habang hawak-hawak ang stick ng isaw. Binigyan ko ito ng thumbs-up at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.Naalala ko tuloy ang reaksyon ko kanina nang makita ko ang mga hinanda ng waiter.(Flasback)"Love what you saw? It's your favorite." Natulala ako sa iba't ibang klase ng street foods sa harapan."Hindi mo ba gusto? I remembered when we had our first date, gusto mo sa street foods kasi nga paborito mo kaya 'yan na lang ang naisipan kong ihanda ngayon." I looked at him, napakamot ito sa ulo at pilit na ngumiti.Siguro napansin niya ang reaksyon ko. Akala siguro nito na hindi ko nagustuhan ang nakahanda ngayon.

This day creeps me out. Adrian keeps on texting me while Venz treats me better and for me it was unusual.Napatingin ako sa cellphone nang bigla itong nag-vibrate.Why aren't you answering my text nor calls?Mabilis kong pinatay at nilagay ang cellphone sa hita. Gamit ang kamay, tinaas ko ito at ginawang pamaypay sa sarili. I tried to slap my face, both left and right and i could feel the pain.Ibig sabihin, hindi ito panaginip. I was about to slap my face again, but this time I will make it harder. Eyes closed, left hand ready then suddenly I heard a voice come from the pikachu boy."What are you doing? Are you nuts for hurting yoursel

I shout at my inner mind.Napahampas naman ako sa manibela habang nagmamaneho. Hindi ko namalayan na sa aking pagpapatakbo, dinala ako nito sa boneyard kung saan inilibing ang katawan ni Rina.I really missed the smile and laughter she used to give me. I'm sorry Rina for being selfish. It's my fault.
