Chapter 3
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I'm not in the mood to talk with my friends so I decided to go straight to our classroom and buried myself in the thought about what mom had said last night. I still can't get over it. Parang nage-echo pa rin sa isip at pandinig ko yung mga sinabi niya.
Did she mean that? She wanted me to marry the future heir of Fe Veragon just for the sake of our losing company? She wants me to get married because that's the only thing I could do to help them? So that explains why they are so grumpy these past few days! It's because they are involved in that big release issue!
Ano ba kasing kabalastugan ang ginawa nila at pati ako ay kailangang magdusa?
"Tss," I rolled my eyes and lean my back on my chair. Do they really think that they can command me to do something ridiculous that easily? And heck, they just mentioned marriage!
Sinira na nila ang mga taon nung kabataan ko tapos ngayon pati ba naman ang future life ko gusto pa nilang sirain? Ganoon ba talaga sila kasama at isasakripisyo nila ang sarili nilang anak para lang sa kompanya na iyon?
The majority of people nowadays are all stupid and freaking insane. How could my parents do this to me?
"You looks like you're ready to bite someone's neck, Ren."
I turned my gaze to my side only to see Arron's teasing smile. I heave a sigh and rolled my eyes for the nth time.
"Here we go again. Ano na namang baon mo para sirain ang buong araw ko?" pabalang kong tanong sa kaniya. I saw him smile even more. He immediately sat down beside me since we're seatmate and stare at me like a freaking obsessed man.
Nagiwas ako ng tingin at kalmadong tumunganga sa white board namin na nililinisan ng mga cleaners ngayon. I don't know why they still have to do that. May mga janitor at janitress naman dito. What's the use of them?
Decorations?
"You know what, Rena. Lumiliwanag ang buong paligid ko sa tuwing nakikita ko ang maamo mong mukha," aniya.
Oh, Ghad! Paano ba iwasan ang baliw na 'to?! Nakakainis! Bakit ba kasi ako tinabi ni Prof sa lalaking 'to!
"Shut up, will you?" I glared at him, irritated. Pero lintik lang, ang luko nakapatong pa ang mukha sa palad habang ang siko ay nasa kaniyang lamesa. He's looking at me while his eyes flicker like he just saw gold and diamonds.
Sa inis ko ay mabilis akong tumayo at lumabas ng classroom. Agang-aga na bwisit naman oh!
Naglakad ako sa pathway ng walang ibang dala kung hindi ang sarili. I shrugged my shoulder while walking slowly as if I am counting every rock that I could see. My thoughts are raffled and I couldn't think right. Gulong gulo ako.
Sino nga uli yung binanggit ni mom? What's his name again? Weiz? Weil? Weidal? Argh! Ano ba namang klaseng pangalan yun?!
I was walking unconsciously when I suddenly bumped myself into someone. Tumama pa ang noo ko sa matigas na bahagi sa kaniyang dibdib o suot? Hindi ko alam.
I was taken aback because of the impact. I stoop my head to touch the part on my forehead that was exactly hit. Sa inis ko ay mabilis akong nag-angat ng tingin. Humahangos na naabutan ko ang isang matangkad na lalaking walang karea-reaksyong nakatingin sa akin. Para bang nagtataka pa siya kung ano ang ginagawa ko at para bang hindi niya alam na masakit yung pagkakabangga ko sa kaniya.
I mean, 'yung pagiging tanga niya kaya nabangga niya ako!
"You asshole! Aren't you going to apologize?!" I yelled. I look at him with so much rage but it pissed me more when he didn't move. He is just looking at me and the heck! He even tilted his head like he was studying my whole face!
What does he think of me, stupid?
"Are you making fun of me?!" I shouted.
Alam ko na pulang-pula na ang mukha ko sa sobrang inis. Bwisit na bwisit na nga ang araw ko madadagdagan pa?
Nang hindi siya sumagaot, I rolled my eyes at him. Nagbaba ako ng tingin sa suot kong bistidang puti saka ito pinagpagan. My eyes went big when I saw some traces of black stain right exactly in the middle of my dress! Exactly at the middle of my boobs spot! Kitang kita iyon kapag malapitan at kahit na maliit lang iyon ay dumi pa rin iyon! Shit, ayaw kong magmukhang basahan sa harap ng maraming tao.
I'm always the presentable and clean type of woman, that is what my name means!
Galit na galit akong tumingin sa kaniya. Nagtama ang mata namin, nakatitig lang siya sa akin at wala man lang gumuguhit na reaksyon sa kaniyang mukha. Dahil sa galit ay mabilis ko siyang nilapitan at nang akma ko na sana siyang susuntukin ngunit halos mahigit ko ang hininga ko nang mahuli niya ito at mabilis akong pinaikot kaya ngayon ay nasa likod ko na ang kanan kong kamay habang ramdam na ramdam ko ang mainit niyang harapan sa aking likod! Shit, ang lapit niya sa akin!
How the hell did he do that!? He wards off my attack that fast!
"Let me go!" I shouted and try to free myself from his tight grip but I just can't. He's too strong.
Naramdaman ko ang mainit niyang hininga sa likod ng aking kanang tainga. What the hell is he planning to do with me? Is he going to harass me?!
"I said let me g-"
"Change your clothes, I can see your red dotted bra," he said, cutting me off. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at bumuka ang aking bibig.
"You asshole!" I exclaimed. Matapos naman niyang sabihin iyon ay tinulak na niya agad ako palayo. Mabilis kong tinignan ang aking dibdib at halos sumpain ko ang sarili sa napagtanto. I'm lost for words because he's right!
Bago pa man ako makapagsalita muli ay mabilis na siyang naglakad palayo sa akin. Ngayon ko lang napansin na nakasuot siya ng kulay dark brown na jacket na may hoodie. Tinilakbong niya ang kaniyang hoodie at tila may tinataguang tao kung maglakad.
Nangunot ang noo ko habang pinapanood siyang lumayo.
This guy is getting into my nerves! He's not even sorry for bumping me!
Inalis ko ang tingin sa kaniya saka ibinalik sa suot kong damit. Suminghap ako sa nangyari sa damit ko.
"Argh!" I shouted and run immediately to get a new dress to wear. I don't want to embarrass myself again. But I'll promise that I will find that punk and make him pay. I will make him kneel down to me.

"Oh? Anong mukha 'yan, Ren?" Drel asked soon as I sat down on my chair. I groaned at her and took my phone out of my bag.
Nagsurf ako sa F******k account ko para ilibang ang sarili. Dapat ay nagrereview na rin ako tulad ng iba ngunit wala ako sa mood. Isa pa, hindi naman ako makakalimutin kaya medyo natatandaan ko pa yung mga topic na itinuro.
I glanced in Drel's direction when I heard her squealed a little. Nahagip ng mata ko ang cellphone niya at malamang sa malamang ay kausap na naman nito ang boyfriend niya.
Ibinalik ko ang atensyon sa ginagawa at hindi na muling pinansin pa si Drel. I pity my best friend. She's madly in love with her boyfriend who cheats all the time but she just ignored it. Gusto ko siyang iuntog sa pader ngunit baka mabaliw naman siya kaya h'wag na lang.
Ilang sandali pa ay dumating na rin naman ang prof namin kaya nagsi-ayusan na ang lahat. Wala na ako sa mood pa na makipagkamustahan kay prof kaya agad kong sin-suggest na umpisahan na agad ang examination. Bakit ba kasi kailangan pang patagalin?
"Oh, yes! We'll start soon but let me introduce your new block mate. Since we still have ten minutes before the examination hour, let's meet him!"
Napuno ng bulungan ang paligid dahil sa mga salitang lumabas sa bibig ni Prof. I just rolled my eyes about his announcement because all I care about from now is to take the exam and go to the mall to shop for new clothes right after. But since we still need to meet our 'new' block mate which is bullshit for me because we aren't in high school anymore, I have no choice but to waste another five minutes for the introduction. Dapat wala na lang kapag may mga bago eh.
"Mr. Weidal Lazien Fe Veragon, please come in," I heard Prof said and for the first time, I literally froze.

What If I Do? Chapter 4
Wait, what?! Tama ba ang dinig ko? Weidal Lazien Fe Veragon? As in Fe Veragon? Iyong anak ni Mr. Napollion Fe Veragon who owned the international big franchise here in the Philippines? Weidal, iyong nagiisang tagapagmana ng Fe Veragon's Franchise? Mabilis na nagangat ako ng tingin sa unahan. Dahil nasa bandang itaas kami dahil style na pahagdan pataas ang classroom namin ay malinaw na malinaw kong nasaksihan ang pagpasok ng isang napakapamilyar na lalaki. My mouth went big and I almost lose my heartbeat the moment I saw a guy entered our classroom. Just like how I bumped myself from him earlier, he's still wearing his dark brown jacket with his hoodie on, covering almost his whole face. Ilang beses kong pinikit at iminulat ang mga mata ko kung tama ba ang nakikita ko. I fought the urge to stand up and ask him if I'm really seeing him here, seeing him now. And freaking cheese! He's our new block mate who just happened to be my future husband because of what my

Tahimiklang ang buong byahe namin papunta sa kanila. I honestly don't know why I feel anxious. Para bang hindi ako mapakali sa inuupuan ko. I look in his direction. He doesn't seem to notice my behavior because he's sleeping. Ghad, ano bang klaseng tao 'to? May tao bang natutulog nang nakajacket na makapal at suot pa ang hoodie while covering his whole face with a thick towel? I don't think other guys would do the same thing as he does. He's too much for a weirdo. I rolled my eyes and focus scrolling through my F******k Account. Nahagilap ko din ang latest status ni Gray, yung hiniwalayan ko nung isang araw lang. Gray Inriqoè Salvacion— 36 mins ago.I can't still get over you. Why do you have to break my heart?Like(409)—Comment(377)—Share(46) I almost rolled my eyes. Seriously though? Ganito na ba talaga kadrama ang mga tao ngayon? Ghad, he already knew me starting from the first pl

But honestly, hindi talaga sa comfort room ako papunta. I just don't like the air inside kaya lumabas ako. Sa may kusina ako dumaan since doon ako ginaya kanina ng maid. I held the strap of my bag tightly as I wandered to their backyard 'till my foot brought me to their garden. Namangha ako nang makakita ako ng sunflowers and different types of expensive flowers and crops! Ang ganda rin ng pagkakadesign sa bawat paligid and they also have a fountain with a statue of an angel that is made from gold! Ghad, this family must be very rich! I don't know why they are not on the list of billionaires nor millionaires when they released it last month! They should be there! Fe Veragon must be at the top! "Where the hell did they get this?!" Bulong ko sa sarili saka pinalibutan ng tingin ang bawat halaman. I even took my phone out of my bag and took a picture of each flower and crop. I took a selfie of myself too. Gusto ko sanang i-myday or gawing profile yung na

"I'mstill thinking about it, Tita Josefa," I honestly said. I can feel how my mom's glare pierced through me, it's as if she wanted to shout at me now for saying those words. But it's as if I still care about it. To be honest, I like it more whenever mom getting pissed off. Pakiramdam ko kasi lahat ng mga ginagawa ko ay kinakagalit niya. I don't give a f*ck even if she wants me dead for making her furious. Gusto kong gawin lahat ng gusto ko nang hindi nila sinabi o inutos. I want to do things base on my own decisions and plans even if it's against them. Tita Josefa smiled at me like she's proud and happy to hear it coming from my mouth. My heart feels warm when I saw the genuine smile on her lips. Mabuti pa siya ganiyan ang reaksyon. I believe that the real mothers who care about their kids would be really happy if they heard their child's decisions were clear and accurate to their age. Hindi katulad ni mom na mas gusgustuhin pa na maikasal aga
What If I Do? Chapter 8
I just rolled my eyes and get the handkerchief. Hindi ko sana kukuhain since hindi naman talaga sa akin but I remembered that Drel sometimes brings a handkerchief with her. Baka sa kaniya ito at mahalaga pala dahil bigay ng kung sino, sayang naman kung mawawala. Inalalayan ko si Drel hanggang sa makarating kami sa sedan ko sa parking lot. I was having a hard time putting her inside of my car, especially that she's starting to act stupid again. This is the reason why I sometimes hate to be with Drel whenever she gets drunk. She's acting like a crazy bitch! "Why...why are you always...a-always hurting me, Rio?" She started shouting that I almost push her into the garbage area because of embarrassment. Kahit na iilan lang naman yung mga tao dito sa parking lot, nakakahiya pa rin dahil ang lakas ng boses ni Drel. She's totally wasted. "Fuck you! Fuck you, Rio! Fuck you!" Ghad, gusto ko nalang busalan ang bibig ng babaeng 'to. I'm trying to put her

"Oh my, God!" I squealed as I saw the notification from my I*******m account. I just got up from a night of sleep and was about to do my morning routine when I decided to check my account first. And hell boy! This must be too good to be true! Nananaginip ba ako? Para akong baliw na nagtatatalon-talon sa kama ko habang sumasayaw-sayaw pa. "Oh my, God! Oh my, God! Oh my, God!" I squealed repeatedly. It took me almost five minutes before I calm down a bit and read the recent post from theInternational Modeling Classofficial account. My hands were trembling and sweating because of too much joy and excitement. I was tagged! And it says, "The list of names that was written below passed from the judgment of our mentor officials. Please give us a personal message if you have some questions or you can come to our building for a better discussion. God bless everyone and have a nice day

"You invited her to be one of the judges?! Ghad, I so freaking need to prepare more!" "Relax, Ren! Pasado ka na, sigurado yan! Saka pakilala muna ako sayo kahit alam kong kilala mo na ako." He winked at me. I feel nauseated, ew! "Planeus Mack Montealba nga pala, the CEO and president of International Modeling Class. And the most important thing you should not forget is that I'm cute and handsome," then he winked again. "Ayos ba?" I acted like puking. "Doesn't suit you, really. Mukha kang takas mental," I said, half true and half not. "Ouch! Grabe ka, Ren! Hindi kita tanggapin diyan, gusto mo?" Pananakot niya. Pinandilatan ko lamang siya dahil alam ko namang hindi niya yun magagawa. "Okay, fine! I'll go ahead!" I stood up and was about to take a step when he immediately takes back his word. "Uy, sandali! Ito naman hindi mabiro! Eto na nga oh, tanggap na tanggap ka na!" He look at me, pouting a bit. "Tanggap ka nang maging asawa ko—Aray!

I turned around just to see Weidal staring at me intently. He is wearing black formal attire. Nanibago pa ako dahil wala siyang suot na hoodie na nagtatabon sa kaniyang mukha. Para akong tanga na nakatulala lang sa kaniya. God, why I wasn't informed about how hot he is without his hoodie and jacket?! Kulot ang maayos niyang black na makintab na buhok. He has clear skin and white skin tone, dense eyebrow and deep black eyes, perfect pointed nose, and dark red thin lips with his sharp and perfect jawline. "Rena?" I was brought back to my senses when I heard Tita Josefa. Shit, ito na ang sinasabi ko. Honestly, I don't know how to face them. Hindi naman kasi ako katulad ni mommy na magaling umarte at magkunwari. I'm not good at lying dahil nakikita agad sa facial reaction ko kung nagsisinungaling ako. That is what my friends always said. I'm visible when it comes to my emotions. "T-Tita, Josefa? You're here!" I said, trying hard not to stutter. She just s

“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
