Chapter 3
Erase
This time, I'm sure that the fate is really ill.
Now, I just found myself standing in front of that arrogant guy's door. I have no choice! Kahit tumaas pa ang alta-presyon ko ay wala akong magagawa. I need to get my purse.
I'll just act like we've never met. Napahiya ako kanina! There's no way I would let myself get humiliated for the second time. The mouth of that guy is something, napaka-arogante at brusko. And I don't really have time to make an argument with him again. Kukunin ko lang ang purse ko at hindi na dapat ako magsalita.
That is really my plan but why did I found myself having an argument with him again?
"Kukunin ko lang ang pouch ko, bakit mo naman naisip na may gusto ako sa'yo? You're probably delirious!"
He rolled his eyes in a manly manner.
"You probably left it intentionally so that you'll have a reason to see me again."
Napaubo ako sa sinabi niya. How boastful! I admit that he's really handsome, pero kung ganiyan naman ang ugali ay wag na lang. I'm really irritated to a man with that kind of mindset and attitude. Iyong sobrang taas ang tingin sa sarili? Sakit sila sa ulo.
"Alam mo? Tama ka, gusto ko ulit makita ang pagmumukha mo..." I stopped then stared at him with my devil smirk.
Umangat ang kilay niya at bagot na tumingin sa akin.
I strictly restrained myself in exploding. Kaunting kaunti na lang talaga tatamaan na siya sa akin.
"To do this." Then I punched his face.
Sa lakas niyon ay pakiramdam ko pati buto ko sa daliri ay nakalas. I saw him winced in pain. I arched my brow to annoy him but he just throw me his death glares as he clenched his arrogant jaw. Namumula na ang mukha niyang sinuntok ko kaya napangisi ako.
"So what can you say-"
He suddenly cleared his throat. "I see. You punched me because you want to get my attention right?"
My smirk suddenly fade away. What is he saying?! Ano bang klase ng utak ang nasa loob ng bungo niya?
"No way-"
He laughed annoyingly. "No need to deny it-"
"Gago ka pala e. Eh 'di sayo na 'yong pouch."
Mabilis akong nagmartsa patungo sa elevator. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pa ako tumingin sa lalaking iyon pero natagpuan ko na naman ang sariling nakikipagsamaan ng tingin sa kaniya hanggang sa sumara ang pinto ng elevator.
"Ina mo." I mumbled.
I've got no choice but to go home. Hindi ko na lang pinansin ang mapanuyang tingin ni Mari pagkapasok ko. I really hate her guts. May kung ano sa kaniya na talagang kinaiinisan ko. I just don't know what it is. Kahit wala siyang gawin ay sobrang naiirita ako.
"Hah, you're wearing a guy's clothes. I wonder what did you do last night?"
Inignora ko ang pagpuna niya sa akin at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. I sashayed towards the kitchen to drink a cold water. Batid kong nakasunod sa akin ang tingin niya. I still ignored her. She doesn't need to put a lot of effort to annoy me because I'm already annoyed to death.
"Was it satisfying? Tasteful? Go on, live your life to the fullest. You'll lose your freedom eventually..."
I wasn't able to hear her last sentence because she lowered down her voice. Umirap na lang ako sa kawalan at lumabas mula sa kusina.
I slept the whole day. Nang mag dapit hapon ay naisipan kong pumunta ng mall. I should buy a new phone. Natigilan ako nang biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang lalaking iyon. I hissed then shook my head in disbelief. What a cockroach. Bukod kay Mari, isasali ko na siya sa mga taong nakakapagpataas ng alta-presyon ko. A bizarre kind of a man. Sa sobrang kakaiba, ang sarap niyang paulit-ulit na suntukin sa mukha.
"Where have you been Ade?! Oh my gosh, ang akala ko na-rape ka na!" bungad sa akin ni Clary nang tawagan ko siya.
I hissed and sat on the vacant seat.
"Malayo sa sinabi mo. Muntik lang naman akong makapatay ng tao."
Narinig ko ang eksaheradang pagsinghap niya kaya umirap ako at humigop sa in-order kong mango shake. I even heard Yashana asking why. They're still in the hotel, they just woke up when I called.
"So the rumors were true?! You're in drugs?" She said jokingly.
"Whatever Clarita. Umuwi ka na dahil pupunta ako sainyo. You know I don't wanna stay in the mansion, Mari is there." sabi ko bago pinatay ang tawag.
I spent an hour by shopping new clothes. Alam ko kasing hindi agad agad iyon makakauwi sa kanila. And I'm right, pagkarating ko sa bahay nila ay kakarating niya rin lang.
"What a bitch." I commented.
She just showed me her two fingers, gesturing it as a peace sign. I narrowed my eyes then I walked passed through her. Nauna ako sa kuwarto niya at agad na itinapon ang sarili sa kaniyang queen sized bed. Now, I felt really tired. Mas lumala ang sakit ng likod ko. Perhaps, it's because I've slept on the floor for hours.
Thinking about that is a damn mistake. Ngayon ay bigla na namang sumagi sa isip ko ang pagmumukha ng lalaking brusko na iyon. He's really handsome, alright. He got the very shiny straight hair that is parted in the middle of his boastful head. A perfect shape of a face. The nose is tall as a mountain, the lips is kind of pinkish like peach. His body isn't that bulky, the height is like a tower. All in all, a perfect man minus the attitude.
Why am I even describing him?! Napabangon ako. Hindi makapaniwala sa sarili.
"Did I just fucking described him?" I asked myself in disbelief.
"What? Anong sinasabi mo Ade? If I didn't know your whole being, I might think that you're a lunatic person." Clary suddenly enter with a narrowing eyes.
"Wala! Go on, think that I'm crazy. Lamang ka parin naman." humiga muli ako.
"Whatever bitch." she murmured.
I was just cussing that man in my mind when I dozed off. Even in my freaking dreams he's pestering me. Paano siya nakarating sa panaginip ko ng walang kahirap hirap?! Umaabot na talaga sa kasuluk-sulukan ng mundo ang pagkainis ko sa kaniya.
Bumangon ako at naiinis na ginulo ang buhok ko. Napatingin naman sa akin si Clary na nagkukulay ng kuko.
"Oh? You're awake? Isang oras pa lang ah?"
"Oo, blame that son of a cockroach." sagot ko.
Tumiim ang bagang ko nang maalala ang aking panaginip. I gasped in my mind. Why the hell would I marry a man like him? Baka puro away lang ang maganap sa buong pagsasama namin. I winced then shook my head.
"Erase, erase!" I jumbled my hair in irritation.
I trace the kind of stare Clarita is giving me. I didn't discern it, instead I stood up to see myself in the mirror.
What is happening to me?! I screamed in my mind. Nagpabalik-balik ang lakad ko habang patuloy na ginugulo ang buhok. I supposed to be annoyed but why am I shy suddenly? What did that man do to me?
"You know what? Get dressed, we'll have fun tonight." I announced.
