Rizalyn's POV

.

"How do I look?" I smiled at Vanny and her lips twisted. Mukhang hindi yata maganda ang ginawa ko sa sarili.

"Sobra ka naman, dai! Halika ka nga rito!" Hila niya sa pony tail na buhok ko.

"Aray! Ano ba!" Pasigaw ko. Masakit kaya ito.

"Aww, sorry po, senyorita!" Malakas na tawa niya sabay bitaw sa akin. Pinaupo niya agad ako at nakaharap ako ngayon sa malaking salamin.

I twisted my lips in dismay when I realised what I had done to myself. I went overboard, and I looked crazy!

"Mukha kang p****k, Riz. Okay lang sana kung hindi ka anak ng isang ma-impluwensyang tao. Pero anak ka ng tatay mo! Kaya umayos ka oi!" Sabay suklang niya sa buhok ko.

"And so? Hindi rin naman ako makikilala ni Nestor ano!" Ngiwi ko.

"Well, that's partly true. Kaya nga ginagawa natin ito dahil ayaw mo'ng mapahiya sa kanya 'di ba? You don't want to expose yourself to him, telling him that you are Rizalyn Joy Borres, the woman who falls head over heels in love with him!" Pabagsak na boses niya at nanlumo lang din ang puso ko.

Naalala ko lang ang kahapon at ang lahat nang kabaliwan ko sa kanya. Para yata akong si amazona, at ito siguro ang ayaw niya.

"This is your last chance and you don't want to be expose. Mas mabuti na hindi ka niya makilala. Turuan mo na lang ng leksyon ang first love mo. At kung hindi pa rin oobra, at magpapakasal pa din siya. Ay, wala na! Quits na 'te!" Ngiwi niya.

"G-ganoon ba? Sa t-tingin mo?" awang ng labi ko.

"Oo. . . Alam mo, Riz, hindi naman bulag ang mga lalaki. Alam kong alam ni Nestor na ginagamit lang siya at ang kasal nila ni Glorisha para sa negosyo at pamilya. Matalino siya. Kilala ko na ang pamilya nila dahil madalas ang Mama niya at si Ma'am Irene na nagsasama sa bawat exhibition at bidding nang mga ma-impluwensyang tao sa mundo. . . They're team! Ayaw nilang ikasal ang anak niya sa wala."

Natahimik na ako at tulala akong nakatitig sa mukha ni Vaninay sa repleksyon ng salamin sa harapan ko. Inayos niya ang blonde na buhok ko at pabuhayhay ito. Kinulot ang dulo at inulit ang make-up sa mukha ko.

Vanny might be innocent and clueless but she knows more than anyone. Matagal na siyang nanilbihan kay Mama, at siya lang din ang inaasahan ng pamilya niya.

She once told me that my step-mother is half and half. Half angel, half devil. Ewan ko lang kung totoo ba, dahil mabait naman si Mama sa akin simula nang tumira ako sa puder ni Papa.

"Ayan tapos na!" ngiting ayos niya. Napakurap ako at gumuhit ang ngiti sa labi ko. Maganda ang pagkakaayos niya.

"Thank you, Van. Ang galing mo talaga."

"You're welcome."

I stood up and look at the time in my wristwatch. I need to be there by six and I still have an hour to go. I need to see Pamella first. Hindi na sana dapat kasama si Pamella dahil ako na ang papalit. Pero nagpadagdag ang bruhang Glorisha ng human size figure cake, at hindi ko alam kung ano ang plano niya rito.

"I have to go. I will see you late tonight!" I said in a hurry and grabbed my pouch.

"Hoy, Rizalyn! Tawagan mo ako ha!" Pahabol niya at tumango na ako.

IT WAS spotless when I arrived. Pamella is standing at the side of the club. May kasama siyang isang babae, pero staff ito sa tingin ko.

Inayos ko muna ang sarili bago ako bumaba rito. I have nothing except my little pouch holding my key and card. I feel excited yet, nervous at the same time. I know this is plain stupid, but my heart is weak, and when it comes to Nestor, I am not Rizalyn Sauvetterre - Dela Merced but a mere Rizalyn Joy Borres.

Matalino ako. May ambisyon sa buhay at magaling sa lahat ng bagay. I can easily find money if needed, and I can do everything for whatever purposes that I wanted. But when it comes to my heart, I always lost the bet. Mahina ang puso ko pagdating sa lalakin gustong-gusto ko. Kaya madalas ay dehado ako.

My life was peaceful being a Borres, and it became complicated and twisted when I carried the last name of Sauverette - Dela Merced.

"Pam!" I said and waved my hands.

"Riz!" She smiled and did the same.

"Pasensya na. Kanina ka pa ba?"

"No. We just arrived. By the way, this is Michelle. She's in charge of the bachelor's party tonight."

"Okay." I nodded and extend my hand for Michelle. Pormal siya at mukhang decenteng babae sa tingin ko.

"Are you ready?" She smiled, and I nodded.

Sa likod na bahagi kami dumaan para makapasok sa loob at nagpalit ng damit. I had to dress up as one of the staff, but it was a different approach. My dress is sexy and seductive, the same as Michelle's. Pamella dressed up the same as us. This is their work and living, and I know people like them are just doing their job.

Nasa sa' yo raw iyon kung gusto mo'ng magpagamit sa customer mo. Hindi raw namimilit ang trabaho dahil sariling desesyon mo ito.

I laughed a little bit when I saw myself in the mirror.

Paano pa ba ako makikilala ni Nestor nito? E, maliban sa iba na ang lahat sa akin ay maskara pa ako.

"Do we have to wear a mask?" I look at Pamella while fixing my mask.

"Yes, it's a bachelor's party and Sir Faust ordered us to wear a mask. Alam mo na, masyadong konserbatibo si Sir Faust. Gusto ko nga ang idea niya dahil pinoprotektahan nito ang sarili namin sa trabaho."

I nodded and couldn't disagree about it. Faust Kennedy has a point, and he's one of the best gentleman engineers that I've met before

Iilan lang ang kilala ko sa mga kaibigan ni Nestor at kasama na si Engr Kennedy Faustino.

KABADO ako sa sarili nang pumasok ako sa loob kasama si Pamella. We served their foods and the drinks were provided from the mini bar inside the area. May isang bartender na lalaki rito at nakita ko agad si Faust na nakaupo sa mini bar sa gilid. Natahimik sila nang pumasok kami ni Pamella dahil nakuha namin ang atensyon nilang lahat.

I don't think Faust recognised me like Nestor didn't recognise me at all.

My heart is pounding so hard inside me like crazy. Pakiramdam ko kasi ay nakatitig si Nestor sa akin. Hindi ko naman siya nakikita dahil nakayuko ako at kay Pamella lang din nakatitig ang mga mata ko.

"What's with the mask?" tanong ng isa sa kanila, at hindi ko siya kilala.

He looks well-mannered, clean, firm and strict.

"Ask Faust. I think it has something to do with him," tugon nang isa sa kanila, siya ang lalaking katabi ni Faust.

Inilapag ni Pamella ang pagkain sa mesa at ganito din ang ginawa ko

"I think it's better for the girls to cover their faces." Faust smirked and shook his head while the rest of the boys laughs.

"That's not a problem to me. I can still see their beauty," tugon ng isa na nasa tabi ko lang. Napatingin agad ako sa kanya at napangiwi ako sa sarili.

"Let me remind you, boys, that this is Rylie Nestor Ferrante's bachelor's party. Not yours, Nathaniel and not ours," si Faust sa kanila.

I smile of what he said at them. Tama nga naman siya. Napaka-ideal nga naman niya talaga.

Natapos na si Pamella at tumalikod na. Mabilis ang ginawa kong paglingon sa paligid, at dismayado ako sa sarili dahil hindi ko nakita si Nestor. Pero okay lang, dahil mamaya ako naman ang makakasama niya.

Lumabas na kami at nag-inggay sila. Bumalik kaming dalawa ni Pamella sa staff area at naging abala siya. Samantalang ako? Heto, nakaupo sa gilid at nakatitig ang mga mata ko sa cellphone sa ibabaw ng maliit na mesa rito. Naghihintay ako sa mensahi ni Belinda at ang oras na din ang tinitigan ko.

After an hour and a half, I stood up and went outside for some fresh air. May maliit na balkonahe ang gusaling bahagi na ito at katabi lang mismo ito ng pribadong VIP room na kung saan ang bachelor's party ni Nestor.

Mula rito ay rinig ko ang hiyaw at sigaw ng mga boses nila, at purong mga lalaki ito. Rinig ko rin mula kay Pamella kanila sa pag-uusap nila ni Michelle, na may pustahan na nangyayari sa loob at wala ni isa sa kanila ang may gusto ng babae ngayong gabi.

Isang babae lang daw ang gusto nila, at ito ay para sa magiging groom.

Pinagtagpo ko ang kamay at malalim ang ginawang pagbuntonghininga ko sa sarili.

I shut my eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm myself. Until my phone beeps. . . It was a message from Belinda.

Her message to me:

Glorish is coming there at ten. Could you make sure to get Nestor out before that time?

Nangunot ang noo ko nang mabasa ito at agad kung tinitigan ang oras sa relo. Trenta minutos na lang bago mag alas dyes.

And why would she come? Did she perhaps change her mind and want to be the woman for his groom tonight?

Huh, no freaking way!

I took my last deep breath and was ready to enter the room, but I paused as I froze momentarily when I saw Nestor on the other side of the balcony.

"Yes, bro, I know, and that doesn't matter.  Everything will change once we get married. You played, and I played a lot for a need. And tonight will be the last. Pinangako ko na ang sarili ko kay Glorisha pagkatapos ng gabing ito. I don't feel like getting out for another woman except her. And it's okay with me if she will be my woman tonight. I don't need anyone," tugon niya sa kabilang linya.

"Did you say, Rizalyn?" Pagpatuloy niya at bahagya ang ginawa niyang pagtawa.

Napangiti ako at gumuhit ang kinang at pag-asa sa puso ko. Hindi ko inakala na maririnig ko ang pangalan ko sa kung sino man ang kausap niya ngayon sa cellphone. Siguro kilala ako ng taong iyon.

"Rizalyn. . . She's nothing, bro. Stop that. There was nothing special between us. . . She's just - " Napayuko siya at sandaling natahimik.

"Let's not talk about her. How's the farm?" pagpatuloy niya. Iniba niya agad ang usapan.

Hearing him say those words made my heart sink deeper. It was painful to bear, and my tears pooled in the side of my eyes.

I wish I could evaporate and vanish in thin air. But I won't and will never be.

I was what? Nothing? Nothing at all. . . Shit 'te!

'the touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall. . . you said it best when you say nothing at all.'

That music played in the background from the kitchen area breaks my heart into million pieces.

I am crying a river in silence while watching him.

Naalala ko lang ang video, and sinabi ni Belinda, at ang lahat ng sakit at hinagpis na nararamdaman ko.

Huh, yes, he played a lot, and he just played with my heart?

Kung malas ka nga naman talaha sa pag-ibig ano? Pesti talaga o!

Sandali ang ginawa kong pagtitig sa nakangiting mukha niya at namuo ang mas matinding galit sa loob ko.

I admit it. I was so blind because I loved him so much. But for him to say that he just played with my feelings? I don't think I deserve that.

My tears fell nonstop, and my hand fisted while looking at him silently.

I will make you pay, Nestor. . . It's now or never. Your happy day is over! Sigaw ng isip ko.

    Rizalyn's POV. This is a pest! My mind speaks. Pangatlong shot na ito ng tequila at mabilis ang bawat pag-inom ko. Walang preno hanggang sa maramdaman ko ang init nito sa tiyan at lalamunan ko. Paulit-ulit ang boses niya. Ang mga sinabi niya kanina at hindi ito nawala sa isip ko ngayon. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa maliit na baso at nanginig ang laman ko sa galit sa kanya. The hell he played my innocent heart. *** Three years ago . "Ano ba, Nestor! Sinabing bitawan mo ako! Ano ba!" I was drunk at that night because I failed two subjects.

He told me three months ago that he was saving money to get married to Tanya and wanted to go home this month. But then it failed to like how I fell in Calculus and Physics!

    Rizalyn's POV.I bitterly smirked and laughed a little when I remembered it. Ang hanep naman ng memorya ko, dahil parang kahapon lang din ito. That was me when I was twenty-one. I thought I had moved on, but the heck. Well, it's too bad. I am twenty-five, and it still lingers in this stupid heart. Bagay na bagay nga sa akin ang kantang, stupid! I wouldn't say I like this, but this is the end, and I will never do it again. My mind speaks in silence. Huh, magpakasal na siya sa Sabado at wala na akong pakialam sa kanya! Pero bago iyon ay maniningil mo na ako nang pangako niya. "Okay na. Handa na, Riza." Pabulong na tugon ni Pamella. I smile wickedly at her and stood up. Mabilis ko nang ininom ang pang-apat na shot ko at ito na ang huli, dahil medyo double na ang paningin ko. "So, what's your plan? Here's the key to the room. Umalis na sila lahat at nasa itaas si Nestor. He drank a few, but he looks okay still." "Thank you, Pam. Ako na ang bahala." Kindat ko. Hinawi ko na ang mah

    Rizalyn's POV. Enough of this, Rizalyn! What's the point of crying and regretting when it's finally happened? Oh, God! I must be insane. Ano na lang ang mukhang ihaharap ko sa tunay na ina ko sa langit? Tatangapin niya pa ba akong anak niya? Ano ba'ng pinagkaiba namin ng ex ni kuya? Wala na, wala 'di ba? "Ang tanga ko talaga!!" Sabay gulo ko sa buhok ko. Kulang na lang sabunutan ko ang sarili dahil sa ginawa ko. Ang sama kung tao! "Ano? Final na ba 'to? Wala na ba'ng, can I use my lifeline?" Pagbibiro ni Vanny sa tabi ko. Binigay niya agad ang mainit na tsa-a na gawa niya at nanginig ang kamay ko nang maabot ko ito. Mabilis kong tinikman at iniluwa ko sa bibig dahil mainit. "Mainit, okay!? Napaso ka na nga sa baba at mapapaso pa iyang dila mo!" Pamaywang niya. Natahimik na ako at tulalang nakatitig sa tsa-a. Mainit nga naman dahil makapal ang usok mula sa tasa. Pero malamig na malamig ang katawan ko kahit na makapal na ang suot kong damit ngayon. "T-Tumawag ba si B-Belind

    Nestor's POV.The smile on my face was unstoppable. After that steamy night with her, I can't wait to hold her again, kiss her delectable moist lips, touch every curve of her body and smell her addicting scent. I love being inside her, and everything about her turns me on. And by just thinking of her now, I could no longer stop my smile. I'm fucking insane. When I first laid my eyes on her at the bar, I couldn't take away my desire. Malakas ang dating niya sa akin at lahat ng lalaki sa gabing iyon ay sa kanya nakatitig. Binilang ko pa ang mga lalaking gusto siyang maisayaw, pero lahat sila inayawan niya. I know that one day I will be marrying Glorisha Dela Merced. I haven't seen her and wasn't interested. Ilang beses ko na rin na inayawan ito mula sa mga magulang ko, pero nagbago ang lahat dahil sa malaking problemang hinaharap ng kompanya ni Papa sa Europa. There's nothing to lose, and I must go with the flow. I should act like a businessman, like how my father taught me. When I

I plastered my best smile while looking at Mayor Sanchez. He looked at me seriously, and my jaw clenched. Dammit. I do hope Nathaniel got my message a minute ago. I need him. I wanted him to stop this wedding as I could no longer do it. I hope the bloody idiot will take over any minute. Mayor Sanchez then smiled, and my shoulder dropped six feet underground. I shut my eyes and face down. Nathaniel didn't probably get my message. The hell, this is the end of me. What else could I do? I walked into this mess anyway, and now that's given, I could no longer walk away. Tumikhim na si Mayor Sanchez at magsisimula na siya. He smile looking ahead to all our guests. "Okay, then.

    Rizalyn's POV . 'The only reason you won't let go of what is making you sad is that it was the only thing that made you happy.' "OMG! Ang gulo-gulo 'te!" Ang maingay na boses ni Vaninay ang nagpataas sa tainga ko at naging kampana ito. We had just landed in Manila, and I got annoyed because Mr Ravens was not yet here. I messaged him last night while I was still in Mexico, and he did make sure to be here before seven. Pero hello!? Alas nuebe na at wala pa siya. Huwag na huwag niyang masabi na traffic 'te, dahil hindi ah! "Rizalyn, OMG! Listen to this, gurl!" Namilog ang mga mata ni Vanny habang nakatitig sa akin. Ang alam ko nagpaalam lang siyang mag-toilet. Pero ngayon, dinaig pa niya ang sangkatutak na marites. "Why? What's up? It's no mainit." Hawi sa mahabang buhok ko. Naiinitan na talaga ako dahil kanina pa ako rito nakatayo. Impaktong Mr. Ravens na ito. Wala pa talaga siya rito! "The wedding!" Hawak niya sa kamay ko at nagsimula ang kakaibang kalabog sa puso ko.

    Nestor's POV .It's crazy how much one person can affect you. It's enough to stop your world from revolving. "Ba't nga ba kayo nandito?" I sat down and drank my beer. They all look at me like I'm a criminal in hiding. "Oo nga ba? Ba't ba tayo nandito?" si Nathaniel. Umupo na siya sa tabi ko sabay inom sa beer. I chuckled and laughed a little bit. As expected, I can't trust Nathaniel. He's the only person here because of his little business. But I expected the rest of them to be elsewhere in the city. "Why the hell are we even here?" Elizalde snorted and laughed. I did the same and shake my head. I never expect them to be here, to travel this far for me. Malayo ako sa Pilipinas at hindi ako maniniwala na ako lang din ang sadya nila rito sa Texas. Yes, I was probably right about what I thought before that I was in hiding like a criminal. I'm hiding from Papa, and Mama knows that. The Dela Merced seems okay with what's happening, but the deal was still going. Hindi ko lang alam k

Ngiti niya na parang sira.Napaawang na ang labi ko.Tsk, wala na talagang pag-asa ito."Ate Raquel. . ." mahinang saad ko at napakurap ako sa sarili.

"Oh well, nagmana lang naman ng ugaling baliw sa ama natin," lihim na sagot ni Glorisha sa gilid. Ininom niya agad ang wine niya. "Ang sabihin mo nagmana sa kabaliwan mo," si Belinda kay Glorisha.

But then, after a few seconds, I smiled when I realized my wife was doing everything for me. I am proud of her. She's the best that happened to me. Bumaba ako pagkatapos maligo at magpalit ng damit. I wore the clothes that she prepared and even the slippers. I felt better after the warm shower. It helped me think a lot better now compared to how I was with myself last night. Ang malakas na tawa ni Nathaniel ang narinig mula sa kusina at nagtapo ang kilay ko. I rememered that the lunatic slept here last night. He dropped me off, but then again, he was too drunk to drive back to his residence. Kaya rito na siya pinagtulog n
