Race International Corporation is now facing an issue as to why the company’s ratings and sales have dropped. To organize this Rena Claudia Race, the female heiress, had to marry the sole heir of the Fe Veragon Franchise. At first, she thought everything was going to be easy. That by agreeing to marry that man everything would be all right. But what she didn’t know, as Weidal entered her life many more problems lay ahead. And the worst part? She'll fell in love with him. At the time of their wedding, would she say I do or runaway? "I thought you loved me so I became complacent. But was I wrong the moment I believed you felt the same?"
View MoreI swayed my body to each beat of the music that the DJ was playing. My eyes were closed while I dance like a crazy woman in the middle of the dance floor. I honestly don't give a f*ck if I'm wasted. I feel sorry for the people that I had accidentally hit every time I move.
I just want to have fun! Tonight is the very special day of this month! I want to celebrate it!
I shook my head and shout just like everybody else do whenever they totally lose control of themselves. We're like people who lose our minds for a moment to have fun.
Suddenly, I felt someone dancing behind me. Just by his hand roaming around my waist, I can easily say that this person is a jerk. I opened my eyes and stop myself from dancing. His heavy breathing behind my left ears makes me want to punch him in the face.
I gritted my teeth as I felt his hand slowly sliding down and I knew where it is heading.
"Hey, na-ah! That part is private!" I slapped his hands. I also shout or more than yelling a bit because he wouldn't hear me if I use my normal tone.
Naramdaman ko naman na inalis niya ang kamay niya. Doon ako humarap at saka pumayawang. I just dumped my boyfriend earlier and to sympathize, I won't look for another guy as my new boyfriend to replace his position. Let's respect his broken heart at least for this night.
"Then, when will it be public?" He asked in a cold and serious tone. That got me. This is my ideal type of man! Ghad! Bakit kapag naghahanap ako hindi ako makakita pero kapag nasa harap ko na saka naman ako walang gana?
Ah! This is so frustrating. I want to have this guy but not now. I want to have a rest. Maybe I can get his number? At tawagan ko nalang siya kapag gusto ko na?
Yeah, right! That's it!
Naghahalo-halo ang mga neon lights na tumatama sa mata ko habang nakatingin ako sa kaniya. Marami ring mga taong nakikiindayog sa malakas na musika. I don't know if it's because of the effect of the strong alcohol that I drank or because the lights are kind of dim kaya hindi ko masiyadong makita ang itsura niya?
He's also blurred in my vision.
But anyway, I don't like to do the first move. Dapat mauna siya, ganun naman ang halos lahat ng ginagawa ng lalaki pagdating sa akin. He should ask for my number and I will give it wholeheartedly.
"Sorry, sweetheart! But that part wouldn't be public if you don't ask for my number!" I said and laugh a little. Normal naman na sa akin ang ganito but boy! Aaminin ko! Ngayon lang ako nakaranas ng ako yung maguutos na kuhain niya yung number ko!
This is not me! This is really not me! Maybe because I'm drunk right now? Ghad, I need to get back to my friends.
Baka maikama ako ng kung sino dito!
But I can't deny that this guy is a little bit challenging to get that I find it more interesting.
I heard him laugh with a sense of humor like he's fascinated by what I have said. I rolled my eyes because of embarrassment. Wait, why do I even feel embarrassed? He should be the one! Dapat mahiya siya dahil ang bagal niya! Babae pa ang nauuna!
What a jerk!
"Anyway, if you don't want to get my number. I'll go ahead, my friends are probably looking for me right now," I said and then turn my back at him, leaving without hearing any last words from him.
That man is not just a jerk, he's so slow and weak! Mahina pala ang lalaking iyon pagdating sa babae. He doesn't know the moves to get a woman's heart.
Para akong pilay kung maglakad dahil ramdam ko na talagang medyo lasing na ako. Ay hindi, lasing na talaga ako. Gegewang gewang ang lakad nang makarating ako sa table namin. Naabutan ko pa na nagiinuman pa rin sila.
I glanced at Dave and Julie's direction and I saw them flirting. Ew, limang taon na silang magkasama at alam naman nila na may gusto sila sa isa't isa pero kung makaasta 'tong dalawa nagpapakipot pa. Naghihintayan pa kung sino ang unang magfifirst move.
Ew, mga weak!
Gumagaya pa sa akin na malaki at mataas ang pride. Mga baliw talaga. Akala mo naman mga high schooler students pa kung magdeny sa mga feelings pero kung maglandian dinaig pa ang mag-asawa. Tapos sa selosan akala mo susugod sa labanan eh mga wala namang label.
I shake my head and turned my attention to Drel, my best friend. Naabutan ko siyang kunot na naman ang noo habang nakatingin sa kaniyang cellphone, malamang naiinis na naman. Hayan na naman ang reaksyon niya dahil paniguradong hindi na naman nagtext ang magaling niyang boyfriend.
Linapitan ko siya. "He didn't message you again, probably," I said. I heard her sigh.
"I don't know what to do with this guy anymore. He's pissing me off. Yesterday I caught him talking to Loisa, remember that girl? Argh! Gusto ko silang pagbuhulin dalawa!" She said angrily, pabagsak niyang ibinaba ang kaniyang cellphone sa lamesa.
I laughed, no longer have control over myself. "Break up with him then. Drellia, you shouldn't take boys seriously lalo na sa lalaki na 'yon! They are all asshole!" I said and lean my back on the couch.
I closed my eyes. I'm so sleepy. Gusto ko ng umuwi!
"No, he's not! Ren, he's madly in love with me! He admitted it when he confessed his feelings! It's just that Loisa, his ex, keeps on talking to him! Ang landi!" She sneered.
Humalakhak na ako.
"Whatever, Drel. If he really loves you then he'll be responsible for informing you whenever he's going somewhere or doing something. That's the real man with their real commitments," I said before I closed my eyes, ready to sleep.
Nagising ang diwa ko dahil sa malakas na pagkakasampal sa akin ni mommy. Agad kong sinimpatya ang kaliwang pisngi ko dahil sa kirot na nararamdaman ko dito.
"What the hell, mom?!" I shrieked because of anger. Usually, uuwi ako sa bahay nang hindi nila napapansin at aalis nang hindi nila nalalaman. Even if I informed them that I'll go out with my friends they won't even pay attention or in short, they ignored me all the time. They don't care about me, they only care about the company.
Every time we eat, laging iyon ang topic. I'm so sick of that repeated cycle situation that's why inuunahan ko na sila. I'm so sick of how they treat me like they don't have a daughter! Pero ngayon? Magagalit sila dahil ginabi ako ng uwi!?
For fvck sake, I know that it's passed 12:00 in the evening! Pero kahit noon madaling araw pa nga ako umuuwi wala naman silang pakialam! Anong nangyari? Bakit biglang may pasampal at sermon?
"What the hell is your problem, mom?!" I shouted again, pissed off.
I step backward, feeling unbelievable and angry at the same time because that is the very first time my mom had slapped me. For the first time in my life, ngayon lang ako napansin at lintik lang, napagbuhatan pa ako ng kamay.
Mom looked at me with her sharp bloodshot eyes that can make your knees tremble by just looking at it. She pointed her index finger in my direction and I can sense her pure wrecking range. Para bang galit na galit siya sa akin dahil may nagawa akong illegal at masama.
I glanced in my Dad's direction, he seems bothered and worried about me but he's afraid to meddle in this situation.
I wanted to laugh so bad right now. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na takot si dad kay mom. Funny how a man can't intervene in something because he's afraid of her woman.
I look away because my anger is just getting bigger and bigger and that any minute from now I would just explode.
"Do you know how much you made us so worried, Rena?! You're a girl for heaven's sake and you came home at this late hour?! Where have you been?! Hindi mo ba alam na may magulang na naghihintay sayo?!" Mom yelled.
Hindi makapaniwalang tumingin ako sa kaniya. "Hah!" Suminghap ako saka tumingala at muling nagbalik ng tingin sa kaniya. Why is she acting like she really cares about me? Why is she acting like that? I feel like she always waits for me to come home even if it's not.
The hell, why is she even doing these things that I felt like I don't even know her for so long?

“Did you review your answer before passing it to me?” Mr. German asked.I nodded my head and rolled my eyes. Sinong tanga ang magpapasa ng hindi pa pala sigurado sa sagot?He gave me an annoyed look before checking my papers. Ewan ko ba kung bakit napakastrikto at sungit ng professor na ito. Mabait naman siya sa iba, siguro ay may problema lang talaga siya sa akin. Who cares though? He can die now. I won’t even bother to help him. Baka ganun din nga iniisip niya sa akin, edi kwits lang kami.When he flipped the last page of the papers, he placed it at the side of his table before he rerouted his eyes back at me. This time he gave me a questioning look.Nairita ako sa kung paano siya tumingin sa akin kaya tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.Naturingang gwapo may deperensya naman sa ugali. Many students, especially girls, have a crush on him. Medyo sikat pa nga siya dahil
“Good that you’re finally awake.” I slowly opened my eyes and sit up on the bed. I found myself inside of a room with the walls painted pale blue. I even saw some of marvel heroes inside of the huge boxes at the side near the study table. They were all made of glass because the lights coming from the chandelier of this room reflects them. I believe those were expensive or worst were they all an edition? “What do you think of my room? Is it bad?” a familiar voice asked. Gulat akong agad siyang hinanap hanggang sa makita ko siyang nakaupo sa isang L-shape couch while his eyes were fixed on the screen of his laptop. Medyo nanibago pa ako dahil nakasuot siya ng reading eyeglass. “Neus?!” I exclaimed. He shifted his eyes from his laptop to me and our eyes met. He looks different wearing an eyeglass. I feel like this is not the Planneus that I know. Ang seryuso niyang t
I massage the bridge of my nose as I lean my back on the couch, staring at the piles of papers and notes on the table.“Oh, coffee ka muna. Baka mabanggag ka na riyan sa pagre-review.” I watched as Julie place the cup of coffee on the table.I sighed.How can I put all of this information in my head in just one night? Nakakapagod mag-aral at maglagay ng maglagay ng mga bagong kaalaman sa utak natin. But what choice do we have? If we don’t do this, we would fail. Tapos kapag bumagsak tayo, marami na naman ang magsasabi na hindi natin ginawa ang best natin. Na pinabayaan lang natin na bumagsak tayo without knowing that we even stressed and starve ourselves just to study and review. Mac-compare pa tayo sa iba.Funny how reality sucks the most. Iyong mga tao na dapat ay magpapagaan ng loob natin after nating bumagsak o hindi makapasa ay sila pa na nangungunang husgahan tayo. Gaya
Kinaumagahan, I woke up feeling tired. I remembered forcing Weid to go home after I finished reviewing sa unit ni Julie. Hating gabi na nun at mukhang wala pang planong umuwi si weirdo kung hindi ko pa sinabing uuwi na rin ako. Good thing it didn’t wakes Julie otherwise it would be world war III.I sighed as I stormed off my room. Halos apat na oras lang ang nagging tulog ko dahil sa pagre-review. Nang makauwi kasi ako dito ay nagreview pa rin ako. I can’t sleep though. Hanggang ngayon binabagabag pa rin ako ng tungkol sa pagbubuntis ni Julie.“Anak,” my dad called me. He’s drinking tea from the living room while reading a newspaper.Huminto ako sa paglalakad at tumingin sa kaniya.“You need something?” walang gana kong tanong.He sighed. Kitang-kita ko ang takot sa mata niya at pagkailang.“How are you? I&rsquo
“The heck, this is all good! Wait, when did you learn how to capture a good shot?”I looked at Weid, he was just watching me checking all the pictures that he took kanina. I’m shocked. I didn’t expect he’s good at this! Ang galing niyang kumuha ng litrato!“My mom was a photojournalist before. She taught me how to use the camera and how to get a good angle before shooting. I was 13 that time,” he said.Tumitig ako sa kaniya. I did not know about that. “You’re lucky,” I muttered before looking away.We were now sitting on a bench. Halos isang oras na rin ang nakaraan nang maglakad-lakad kami. The whole time ay siya ng siya ang pinapakuha ko ng picture ko. Pinanood ko pa siya sa Youtube kung paano kumuha ng maayos na picture.“Anyway, I asked you kanina kung marunong ka pero hindi ka sumagot. I feel like I look stupi
“Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Namjung.”I hugged Mrs. Namjung and it was also me who pulled out. She smiled at me and I did the same. “I was wondering when your wedding is, hm?” she suddenly asked and I laughed jokingly.“We’ll just send you an invitation, Auntie,” I said. She held my hand and told me to look at her so I did.“Tell me if there’s something wrong, okay? Your parents are witches, I know. So don’t hesitate to call me if you need something.”I nodded. Mrs. Namjung is one of my parents’ business partners and also my mom’s friend. Ninang ko siya but we seldom see each other because she lives in Korea. “Yes, Auntie.”“Shin Hye, I can hear you!” My mom kiddingly said. Sabay silang humalakhak kaya nagpaalam na muna ako sa kanila para batiin pa ang ilang ka-meeting namin.
I must say, Weid is a weirdo. It's like he's also bipolar. He is sometimes quiet, weird, a loner, and that time? He was friendly. We finished playing Tekken and yeah, he won against me but he still gave back the sim. He said he hasn't fully cleared it yet but it's safe to use it though."Yes, Ms. Race?" Bungad ni Planneus nang masagot niya ang tawag ko.I sat on my bed and played with the hem of my shirt. "I was wondering if I can still back out from the runaway this coming next week?"Nabigla ako nang makarinig ako ng tila may nabasag. "Wait...What?!"I sighed. "I know it's so sudden but I don't think I can make it. I mean, I had a talk with my mom just moments ago and we discussed the company. I'd be busy next week to sign some papers since I'll inherit everything. Like duh? I don't know, I just want to inform you."Nanatili siyang tahimik ngunit nakasagot din naman. "I'll think about that, Rena. But... can't you really come? There's a lot of my
I was busy watching the news on tv about the issue of RIC when someone sat down next to me. Sa gulat ko ay hindi agad ako nakagalaw."Here," Weid said and handed me my phone. Oo nga pala, kinuha niya ito kahapon. Hindi naman talaga kaso sa akin kasi I rarely check my phone. Minsan ay nanonood lang ako talaga sa netflix o kaya ay nage-scroll sa mga social media accounts ko.I remembered having a meeting with Planneus but fortunately, it was cancelled due to his hectic schedule. Nagkaroon daw ng biglaang pameeting ang board nila kasi naadjust din ang fashion show na dapat ay nung nakaraang lunes naganap. They moved it and the fashion show would be next month.I was happy to know that they count me in to be one of the model. I have nothing to worry kasi ang mga isusuot ko naman ay pag-aari ng The Vames na partner ni Neus, short ng Planneus.Tumingin ako kay Weid. "What did you do to my phone? Saka bakit alam mo ang pass ko?" I asked.He just raised hi
I've spent the whole three days in Weid's condo. To be honest, hindi naman ako nabobore. There's a lot of things that keeps me holdin'. Gaya na lang ni Yag na araw-araw pumupunta rito sa condo ni Weid. I don't know what's with him why he always make fun of me. Lagi tuloy kaming nagrarambulan.I stared at the screen of my phone. And for the whole three days, I've received six calls from different unregistered numbers. I would also sometimes received a message that has only one word from it."Die."I honestly didn't take it that seriously. I mean, I know it's a threat but f*ck. I don't get them! They don't even let me know what I have had done to them to give me a death threat! I don't even have an idea how they get my phone number. As for what I know, it was Weid who bought the sim.Imposible namang ipinamigay niya ang number ko.I also remembered getting a call from mom. It shocked me when she started asking if I was doing great or if I'm good. I t
