I ended our call out of frustration, I can feel that my cheeks are still burning red. My gosh that man is really boastful. He is always getting on my nerves.Itinabi ko ang iPad sa side table at sumalampak ako sa kama. Napaka kapal talaga ng mukha ng lalaking iyon. Ako? Pinagnanasaan siya? In his dreams, eww. Bumuntong hininga ako bago bumangon muli, kumuha ako ng ternong pantulog sa drawer dito sa kwarto ko. I am amazed that they know my size.Papasok na dapat ako sa banyo ngunit umilaw ang iPad, senyales na may notification. So it is Whatsapp huh, I also use this for my international clients and investors. I opened the message, it is from Thymoteo.He sent me his picture with a wide smile, naka unbutton ang kaniyang tatlong butones habang nakasakay sa kaniyang helicopter. He is really irritating me. Akala mo naman kung sinong guwapo. Another notification pop up on the screen. It is from that mahanging pogo again.‘You can stare at it as long as you want. I can see your tomato cheeks
A deep sigh is my only response to my mom. She is being hysterical. “Tell me! Did you tanan her Thymoteo?! Hindi me nagpalaki ng ganiyan ha!” Sunod-sunod na hampas ang inabot ko sa kaniya.“Mom! No! Hindi ko itinanan si Ynna!” Tumigil siya at itinaas ang kanan niyang kilay bago tumingin sa akin ng matalim.Damn, why do I have such a crazy mom?!“I'm helping her okay? She is in huge danger. Those men, I know that someone gave them an order to do that. We're now going to fake her death and do an investigation to her company. We believe that the culprit is someone who is close or near with her because that person know where she is that day.” Mahaba kong explanation sa kaniya.She finally calmed down. I don't know if she has bipolar disorder, but she suddenly smiled after what I said.“Oh, that's why naman pala. My baby boy is so bait helping his ayieee crushie mo s‘ya hano?” I rolled my eyes, sometimes she's really irritating.Tumabi siya sa akin at tinap pa ang ulo ko ng parang aso. “G
The interview was already done, all the camera was focusing on my Auntie Lauren. I immediately turned off the television. No Ynna, you won't contact them. I should trust Thymoteo, just this once.I buried my face on the pillow, why do I need to experience this? At the age 16 napilitan na akong mag aral ng mga bagay na konektado sa pagpapatakbo ng negosyo, I didn't experience having a proper teenage years. I lost my parents at the young age and now someone is trying to kill me na posibleng malapit pa sa akin.Kinuha ko ang tablet sa side table ko. Ibubuhos ko nalang ang nararamdaman ko sa pag shopping. It is not my bank account anyways.“Ynna, ija. Anong ulam ang lulutuin ko para sa hapunan?” Narinig ko ang boses ni Manang Fe sa labas ng kwarto. Tumayo ako at binuksan ang pinto. “Caldereta nalang po Manang.” Nakangiting tugon ko sa kaniya.“Osige, ipapatawag nalang kita kay Tina mamaya ha. Pag may kailangan ka ay puntahan mo nalang ako sa baba.” Tumango nalang ako sa kaniya bago siya
I stopped hitting him and turned on the light. I saw Thymoteo rubbing his arm and giving me a hostile look.“Hindi maganda ang trip mo, nakakabadtrip! Ala-una ng madaling araw ka bumalik?!” Inis na sabi ko sa kaniya.Kumuha siya ng beer sa ref, binuksan niya ito at ininom ng isang lagukan lang. “I don't want to stay there any longer that's why I decided to come back earlier.”“At this hour?! My gosh, buti hindi kutsilyo ang kinuha ko at baka nas@ks@k kita. You scares me!” Inirapan ko siya tiyaka kumuha ng tubig na malamig.Hindi naman niya ako pinansin, I noticed that he is thinking deeply. Kumuha ako ng tumbler at nilagyan iyon ng malamig na tubig para hindi na ako bumabang muli if I feel thirsty again.Aalis na dapat ako when I accidentally stepped on a plastic bottle. I feel like nadulas ako in slow mo, pumikit ako at hinintay ang tuluyan kong pag lagapak sa sahig.Matagal akong nakapikit pero hindi pa rin ako bumabagsak. Huh? What just happened? I feel like someone caught me using
We ordered caldereta and pinakbet with rice. While waiting for our order, he looked around before removing his facemask.“Remove your facemask but not your cap and shade. I don't see any suspicious person here.” Sinunod ko naman siya at tinanggal ang facemask ko.Hindi naman nagtagal ay dumating na rin ang order namin. “Naku sir mag nobyo at nobya ba kayo? Artistahin kayo pareho, bagay na bagay. Mukha kayong mga foreigner” Sabi ng nag hatid sa amin ng pagkain.“Ay no po, we are just friends lang po.” Nahihiyang sagot ko sa ale. Yuck, sa pangit ng ugali ni pogo kahit kaibigan ay hindi ako papayag.“Ganun po? Akala ko ay mag syota kayo. Sige, enjoy your meal po.” Umalis na rin naman agad ito. Shocks, nakakadiri. I can't believe that she mistook us as a couple.“That's disgusting, she mistook us as a couple. Mukha bang papatol ang poging tulad ko sa cheapie, ugly like you?” Nakangising aso sa akin ang pogong ito tiyaka nagsimulang kumain.“Pogi who? You mean pogo? Huwag mo nga akong bw
It was almost dusk when we arrived, we went along with the delivery to the rest house. We also delivered the things we bought for Maddy and her family separately to their house under the bridge.“Nandiyan na pala kayo, anong ihahain kong hapunan hapunan ijo?” Bungad ni Manang Fe sa amin.“Ako na po magluluto Manang Fe, I already bought kamote po.” Tumango naman siya at iniwan kami para samahan sila ate Nita, ate Tessie, at ate Lourdes na ayusin ang mga pinamili namin.Tinanggal ko ang facemask, shades, at cap ko tiyaka umupo sa sofa. I'm experiencing significant pain in my lower back. “Where's our child? Hinihintay na tayo ng anak natin diba?” Lumingon ako kay Thymoteo at sinamaan siya ng tingin.“Be thankful pogo, I helped you na makaalis sa mga higad na ‘yon.” Inirapan ko siya and then I do some stretches.Ang tagal kong naka upo sa delivery truck. Mag c-commute dapat kami pero I don't want to na magdalawang sakay pa. Also, it is mas tipid.“I know that you have hidden feelings for
YNNA's POV I am looking at the mirror, preparing for the awarding later. YSABELLA made a new history today, one of our new release dresses was sold out. No wonder why we made it to the top of the clothing industry worldwide. “You look so beautiful today, Ms.” I looked at my secretary and laughed. She is not just my secretary, she has been my best friend since high school. “Maureen, seriously today lang?” Tumawa rin naman siya. Ipinataas ko sa kaniya ang zipper ng long red dress ko sa likod. I was amazed sa pagka-fit nito sa akin, puro din ito diamond. Pinartneran ko ito ng red high heels then diamond jewelries. “How do I look?” tanong ko uli kay Maureen. Ngunit may ibang boses na sumagot sa likuran ko. "You look stunning, sweetheart”. I smiled at humarap sa nagsalitang iyon. “Auntie Lauren!” Lumapit ako sa kaniya at niyakap siya. Amoy na amoy ko ang mamahaling pabangong iniregalo ko sa kaniya. “You are already a grown up woman na, hindi ka na mukhang 16 years old na mahilig pang
Few weeks after that event, I still can't forget what happened. Remembering that moment makes my blood boil. I really hate that man so much! “Ms. Ynna, nasa warehouse na ang lahat ng ini-order ninyo sa mga direct supplier natin.” Hindi ko namalayang pumasok pala si Maureen sa opisina ko dahil kanina pa ako nakatulala sa kawalan. “That's good, naipa-check mo na ba kung kumpleto lahat?” tanong ko sa kaniya tiyaka ako humigop ng mainit na kape. May inabot naman siya sa aking isang listahan. “Yes Ms. 20 boxes of noodles and canned goods, 30 trays of eggs, 20 boxes of barbie and car toys, 50 bales of clothes. Also, na contact ko na rin po ang team ng mga doctors na pupunta later to check the children on the orphanage.” Dapat sana ay magpapa-cater pa ako ngunit ang sabi ng namamahala sa orphanage ay may isang magpapa-cater na raw. Namana ko na sa mga magulang ko ang pagdo-donate ng marami sa orphanage na iyon, isa rin kasi ito sa pinakamaraming kinukupkop na batang ulila at inabandona. S
