It will never be you

Chapter 5

Alyana's POV

Nasa cafeteria ng school ako ngayon dahil dismissal na ngayon. Hindi ko alam pero bakit parang tinatamad akong mag aral ngayon. Biglang umupo si Ivan sa gilid ko.

"Hey, are my photos ready?" He asked

"Hindi ko pa alam, Ivan eh. Yung staff ko lang ang may alam. Kung gusto mo pwede ka magtanong sa kanila." Sagot ko

"Uh no. That's okay. Hindi naman ako nagmamadali." Sabi niya

"Mabuti naman" sabi ko at ngumiti

"Wanna eat dinner with me?" Tanong niya

"I already have plans for tonight. Sorry." I smiled

"Maybe tomorrow night?" He asked

"We'll see." I chuckled

"Well, how's your relationship with Dane?" He asked

"He's still my ex." I shrugged

"Did he seriously dump you? He shouldn't be doing that. He's literally the luckiest guy in the planet!" Sabi ni Ivan

I gave him a confused look and raised my two eyebrows "Why would he be?" I asked

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Why would he be the luckiest guy in the planet?" I asked

"Because you're beautiful, intelligent and has manners." Sabi ni Ivan

"Well, there are a lot of women out there who's beautiful, intelligent and has manners." Sabi ko

"Yeah, but you're one of them." Sabi niya

Pumunta na ako sa isang restaurant dahil dito daw kami kakain kami ni Liam, Elaine, Dan, Zach at saka Frich. Gosh, I missed Zach and Frich. They are the best gay best friends I only have! Pagkarating namin dun ay nag yakapan talaga kaming lahat. Matagal na kasi kaming hindi nakapag dinner sa labas kaming magkakaibigan.

Nag order na kami ng pagkain hindi naman masyadong mamahalin dito. Swak lang talaga sa budget namin. What am I thinking? Do I sound like a highschool girl trying to save money? Coz yeah! That's what I'm trying to do. Although I have my own business, freelance job and projects as an architect-engineer, I am trying to save money. Every month, I need to save up at least 50k. I need to pay for a lot of things, you know? I need to pay for my school, I need to pay for the water bill, electric bill, and I also need to give my mom some money. Good thing my business is doing well. The studio, the renting building, the apartments, I am also an investor. I'm glad that at a young age, I am able to stand on my own.

Biglang narinig ko ang boses ng daddy ko. Laughing with a fair young lady who clearly has nothing to do but to try and get into his pockets.

"What's wrong?" Tanong ni Dan sa akin habang nakatingin lang ako sa daddy ko with his mistress

Tumingin naman si Dan sa direksyon kung saan ako nakatingin.

"Oh no." Dan muttered as she whispered to Elaine and then Elaine whispered to Liam, Zach and Frich

I stood up and went to my father's table. Hindi naman ako pinipigilan nina Dan kaya okay lang. When my dad noticed me, nabigla siya.

"Alyana, why are you here?" Tanong ni daddy

"How about you? Why are you here?" I asked calmly

"Who is she?" The girl asked

"I am his daughter. You look like you're one of his daughter too, sugar baby." Sagot ko pa

She scoffed at mukhang siya pa ang galit "Excuse me? I'm his-" Sabi niya

"Kabit ka girl! Wag kang oa hindi ka maganda" sabi ko at tinaasan ko siya ng kilay

Mukhang marami na talaga ang nagtitinginan sa aming direksyon.

"Wow. Excuse me, girl-" sasagot pa to kaya pinutol ko ang sinabi niya

"Anong excuse me? Ang laki ng space mo diyan. Wala ka na bang ibang English dyan sa baon mo?" Tanong ko

"Walang hiya ka talaga!" Tumayo na ito at sasampalin na sana ako pero inuunahan ko siya kaya nasampal ko siya

"Ayan. Ikaw kasi ang kabit ng daddy ko. Hindi mo ba alam na ikaw ang rason kung bakit nasasaktan ang mommy ko?" Tanong ko

"Alyana, she's your half sister." Sabi ni daddy kaya napaubo ako

"Excuse me, dad?" I asked

"She's your half sister." He answered

"So matagal mo na kaming niloko dad?" Sumigaw talaga ako para mapahiya si daddy at ang babaeng ito

"Look, I was about to tell you.. I'm sorry, anak." Sabi ni daddy

"No, you're not sorry! Hindi mo lang kami niloko, dad! Binaboy mo din kami!" Sigaw ko at kinuha ko ang glass of wine as I poured the wine on my daddy's head. Kinuha ko ang bote ng wine as I poured it onto the girl's head

"You will never have my respect! That goes for both of you!" Sigaw ko at bumalik na ako sa table namin

"Let's eat." Sabi ko na parang wala lang at kinuha ko yung spoon at fork ko saka nagsimula nang kumain

"Do you really have to do that?" Tanong ni Liam "I mean he's still your dad" he added

"Ah so kasalanan ko pa, Liam?" I yelled

"Chill lang." Dan smiled "Liam, alam mo namang mainit ang ulo ng tao ah." Saway ni Dan kay Liam

"I would do the same if I were Alyana." Sabi naman ni Zach at saka kumindat ito sa akin. Ngumiti naman ako dahil mabuti naman, naintindihan niya ako

"Same here, sis." Sabi naman ni Frich

"Yeah. I even slapped my half sister a couple of times." Sabi naman ni Elaine

"Thank goodness, you're not against me!" I chuckled

"Let's eat, shall we?" Liam asked

"We are eating." Sagot ko

"Oh well, mukhang mag aaway na naman ang dalawang ito." Sabi naman ni Frich

"Hindi ah." Sabi ni Liam

"Mabuti naman kung hindi ka makikipag away sa akin, Liam." Sabi ko at kumain na ako ulit
