Teared Masks (Madrigal Series #3) On-Going

TM #21

Doomed

Smiling confidently at my reflection on the body length mirror inside my walk in closet, I checked my outfit if there's something to add up or lessen.

When I got satisfied with my look which is a simple old rose colored tube top, a high waisted Levi's shorts in color black, a white sneakers and a checkered polo to cover up my top, lumabas ako nang aking kuwarto pagkatapos kunin ang aking maleta.

Nang pababa ako nang hagdan ay naabutan kong nagb-breakfast sina Dad, kaya lumapit ako sa kaniya at nagpaalam.

"I'm off dad." He smiled and nodded at me.

"Take care sweetie, text our driver pag pauwi kana para masundo ka." Agad akong umiling. Inirapan ko muna sina Mom at Rae na masama ang timpla dahil nag-uusap na naman kami ni Dad.

"No need Daddy. I'll just commute. I'm not really confident to flex our flashy cars, di tulad nang iba diyan...At isa pa may service naman kami. Sasakyan nila Aesha." Tumikhim si Dad. Mukhang magsasalita na sana si Rae nang pigilan siya ni Mom.

"Fine, basta't mag text ka o kaya'y tumawag kapag nakauwi kana. Bukas pa ako babalik. Marami akong inaasikaso sa munisipyo lalo na't malapit na ang eleksyon." Tumango ako sabay halik sa pisngi niya.

I flipped my hair before turning my back from my evil step mom and sister. I don't know but making them triggered makes me happy and satisfied.

At dahil walking distance lang naman ang plaza sa mula bahay, hindi na ako nag-abalang pumara nang taxi o tricycle. Hindi naman kabigatan ang dala kong maleta kaya okay na ako na maglalakad na lang.

"Witwew! Ganda ah." Rari whistled when she saw me approaching. I playfully flipped my hair and walked like a supermodel until I reached their spot.

"Alam mo Lau, bagay kang mag modelo. Para kang si Bella Hadid dahil sa shape nang katawan mo. You have the potential!" Aesha clapped her hand while looking at my body.

"Actually Lau, naghahanap nang model si Mom para sa endorsement nang cafe namin. Wanna try?" Rari asked me. The other girls squealed and continued to push me on grabbing the opportunity.

"Uh- I'm not really confident to show off especially on crowded places kaya napakalabo na maging modelo ako. At tsaka marami pang iba diyan na mas deserving Rars.." They rolled their eyes at me.

"Alam mo Lau? Gaga ka talaga. Maraming mas deserving kaysa sa'yo? Wala kang tiwala sa sarili mo gano'n? You always think so lowly of yourself!" Erudite hissed.

She came closer and tapped my shoulder. "If you'll always hesitate on things, you'll never grow." She smiled at me.

"Eh kasi naman, what if I'll just ruin everything? Paano pag nagkamali ako-"

"There's nothing wrong in making mistakes sis, that's a part of our life. Every person's success lies many mistakes and failures so don't be afraid. You are not always alone in your battles." Si Liana naman ang nagsalita ngayon.

Napatango na lang ako nang marahan, senyales na pumapayag ako kay Rari. And if ever I failed, well then atleast I tried...That's a better choice than doing nothing.

"Woah, matagal na akong nakatira dito pero ngayon lang ako nakapunta sa Fierro." Manghang saad ni Rari habang nakatingin sa beach na nasa unahan namin.

After an almost 30 minutes, we arrived here in Fierro Beach Resort. Hindi siya gano'n kalaki katulad nang Boracay at iba pang beach dito sa Western Visayas, pero masasabi mong napakaganda nito dahil sa mga rock formations at white sand.

Ang mga cottage at hotel ay halatang dinisenyo nang napakagaling na arkitekto, napakaganda at unique nang designs. Hindi kayo magsisisi kapag pumunta dito.
