Imperfect Beauties Series 1 :Manipulative

8

He's getting married soon alam ko hindi na nila papatagalin yan
Matagal na rin naman sila

Why does it hurt so much?
Para akong hindi makahinga sa sakit
I should be happy dahil alam ko masaya siya sa kanya in tge first place sila naman talaga noon pa

Bakit siya pa ang nagustuhan ko? Wala namang espesyal sa kanya kaya bakit hindi ko magawang kalimutan siya ng tuluyan?

Nagkulong ako maghapon sa kwarto the maid has been knocking at my door repeatedly nag aayang kumain pero ilang ulit ko silang tinanggihan gabi na nang maspasya akong lumabas at magpahangin sa garden

Nagulat pa ako nang mabungaran si Grandad na nakaupo sa swing na naroon

"Grandad"

"At last lumabas ka rin" pinagmasdan niya ang mukha ko
Hindi na ako nag-abalang yumuko dahil nakita na niya at isa pa kilalang-kilala niya ako kaya hindi rin ako makakapag sinungaling

"You love that young man" it was not a question but a statement

"I know him he's a good guy" napalingon ako sa kanya

"How?"

"His parents are my employees"
Alam ko ng may posibilidad na sa pamilya namin sila nagtatrabaho pero nagulat pa rin ako

"So why are you crying?"

"He's getting married" mahina kong sambit

"And you can't do anything about it?" My grandad's sarcastic tone taunted me

"I tried but I know he doesn't like me"

"So you'll just give up?"

"Nakakalimutan mo ata hija, you're a Pedrigosa you can have anything you want kahit ano o SINO pa yan, you'll just have to play some dirty trick" he has sinister smile plastered on his lips

I know he'll say that but I'm afraid Jackson will just hate me to death if I force myself to him

"Think about it hija kaya mo bang makita na ikinakasal siya sa iba? Magkaroon ng pamilya at hindi ikaw ang kasama?"
Tila nagkaroon ng bikig sa lalamunan ko nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya

"May paraan pa subukan mo para wala kang pagsisihan if it's works he's yours"

"But-" I hesitated

"No buts it's for your happiness besides we all do foolish actions because of love kaya bakit ka pag nagdadalawang-isip kung hindi lang ikaw ang handang gawin ang lahat para sa pag-ibig?"

Right!
In the first place ni hindi ko sa kanya nasabi kung ano ang tunay kong nararamdaman all he knows that I am playing around with him just to tease her girlfriend

I'll give it a try 

***

They say opportunity knocks once so if it's coming you should grab it as fast as you can

I've been thinking about what Grandad said and the day I had my last argument with Mildred

I've been playing dirty tricks since I can remember
I remembered blackmailing my teacher in high school so that he can just consider my project na late ko ng naipasa

I remember when I try to ruin the relationship of my captain in varsity sa volleyball para hindi siya makapagfocus at makick out sa team para ako ang maging team captain muntik na sana pero hindi ako nagtagumpay
