"And who the fuck are you? Are you the butler grandma saying? Oh yeah, my baggages were in the car. You can get it na. Just ask that little bitch." I pointed Elaya who was struggling to pull my large baggages.
Pero wala akong nakuhang sagot mula sa kanya. He was looking at with raised eyebrows.
"What are you still doing? Go get my things. It's so hot in here and I couldn't stand it! Gosh! What kind of country if this ba!" maarte kong reklamo at panay ang haplos sa katawan ko.
"I'm your brother's cousin and that's what you get for wearing slutty clothes," he said in baritone voice.
I suddenly stopped and looked at him, offended. Slutty clothes? That means I'm a slut? And who the fuck is this old man?
Anong karapatan niyang sabihin sa'kin 'yon? Hindi ba niya nakikitang bagay na bagay sa'kin ang suot ko? Kung tusukin ko kaya ang bunganga nito, makakapagsalita pa kaya ang lalaking ito?
He gazed me from my head to feet disgusted. Mas lalo akong nainsulto sa klase ng pagpasada niya sa'kin ng tingin.
I never been insulted like that before! Who the heck is this person?! Awang ang bunganga ko at napatawa ako ng sarkastiko.
He looked up at me confused for laughing.
"You... you're a bastard! And who the fuck are you to say that?! And you don't have the rights gaze me like that!" dinuro ko siya sa galit ng ginawa niya.
He didn't budge and remained calm. That made me mad more.
"I already said it. I'm your brother's cousin. And will you please shut your dirty mouth? It doesn't makes you cool."
Umawang lalo ang bunganga ko. He's so... so rude! How could he talk to a gorgeous like me that way? Wala siyang galang.
"You! How could you talk to me like that! You're so rude!" Dinuro ko siya.
"Shut it, Caprice. I'm older than you and you even disrespect me like that. Don't make this complicated. Wait here, I'll get your dirty things like you."
Umusok ang ilong ko at uminit ang ulo ko sa galit. Hindi pa rin siya nagbabago. Now I remember him.
Hezekiah. He always bullies me before when I was a kid. Lagi niya akong pinapaiyak at tinatawag na pangit noon. Isa iyon sa rason kung bakit ayaw ko sa bahay ni Dad.
He was my number one bully. I hated him even before for treating me like that. At ngayon ay parang mas lumala siya. Mas nakakagalit na ang mga lumalabas ng bibig niya.
I watched him how he took my things from Elaya. I waited for them irritated. Ang tagal nila. Ang bagal pa gumalaw.
Now that I'll live here for good, I won't just let him bully me again. Even if he was older than me for seven years.
Kahit gano'n man ay kung kumilos siya noon ay parang bata. He was si immature for bullying me.
Imagine, a five year-old kid bullied by a twelve year-old boy? For five years, he bullied me. Even if he was seventeen, he still bullies me.
Kaya noong sinabi ni grandma na kukunin niya ako sa America ay pumayag ako kaagad. Alam kong isa ako sa dahilan kung bakit nag-aaway si Dad at ng asawa niya. Gano'n din si Mom at ang pamilya niya.
Kaya sobra ang saya ko nang kunin ako ni Grandma. Wala nang nambubully sa'kin. Maliban kay Hezekiah at pati ang half sister ko ay binubully din ako.
Hindi ko lang kayang magsumbong kay Mom dahil alam kong magagalit lang sa'kin ang asawa niya. I wasn't the favorite one before here.
Pero noong pumunta ako sa America, I was the most favorite girl there. Even Grandma, I was her favorite. I felt the love from her that I never felt with my own parents.
"You're so mabagal," maarte kong reklamo nang makalapit silang dalawa. Hawak ni Elaya ang medyo maliit kong baggage at ang tatlong malalaki naman ay hawak ni Hezekiah.
"Why don't you carry your own things, Caprice? It's yours after all," inis na reklamo ni Hezekiah.
"Anong silbi niyo kung hindi niyo bubuhatin?" suplada kong tanong. Mga walang silbi. Kahit pa sila ang nagbubuhat ng mga gamit ko at wala pa rin silang silbi.
At sinong nagsabing meron? Who? Para sampalin ko ng katotohanan.
"Really? Ikaw ang walang ginagawa, who's no use now, huh, Caprice?"
"Alam mo ikaw? You still haven't change. Ikaw pa rin 'yung lalaking kinamumuhian ko noon pa man." I pointed at him pissed. I put my hair at my back in irritation. Huwag akong sinusubukan ng lalaking ito dahil baka mapatay ko siya sa walang oras.
"A-Ah. Sir Avis, ayos lang po. Ako na lang ang magbubuhat," magalang ang mahinhing sabi ni Elaya. I always wonder why she got a pretty name but they were just poor.
Well, wala naman sa basehan ang pagiging mahirap ang maganda o pangit na pangalan. Si Hezekiah nga, ang pangit ng pangalan pero mayaman.
"You brat, let's talk later o isusumbong kita sa parents mo," banta ni Hezekiah. At sinong tinakot niya?
I stood with breasts out then tilted my chin like a model. Gosh, I'm so sexy. "Who are you scaring? Go on, isumbong mo ako para ipatalsik ulit nila ako sa America. Mas gusto ko pa nga 'yon."
"They won't do that. Hindi ka na nila ibabalik sa America dahil tumigas lang ang ulo mo katitira doon. Hindi mo alam kung bakit ka tinapon ng lola mo rito?" He raised his eyebrow then smirked. "Because she couldn't handle you anymore."
Kumuyom ang mga kamao ko sa sinabi niya. Ito na naman siya. His harsh and hurtful words. I contained myself from crying and instead, I smirked.
"Oh, really? Then my parents couldn't handle me too. Kung hindi kaya ni grandma, mas lalo pa sila. Sa tingin mo susundin ko sila? Fuck no. At sa tingin mo ititigil ko na ang mga ginagawa ko sa America dahil nandito ako sa Pilipinas? Still no." I smirked again when I saw how he clenched his jaws. "There are club and men here too. They were my toys you know."
Nandilim ang mukha niya na ikinagalak ko pa lalo. I know right. I won against him.
Hindi ko pinansin si Elaya na nababahala na sa galit na mukha ni Hezekiah. Who cares if he was mad? May pakialam ba siya kapag nagagalit ako? Wala. Mas lalo pa nga niya akong ginagalit.
"Do it if you can. Sa tingin mo rin ba hahayaan ka ng Kuya mo?" It's his turn to smirk now. But I didn't budge.
He can't intimidate me anymore. Wala ng talab sa'kin 'yan. Kahit ano pang gawin niya. Hindi na ako takot sa kanya.
"Really? Of course I can. Hindi ako papayagan ni Kuya? Anong karapatan niyang pagbawalan ako? Hindi ko siya pamilya," sabi ko na parang wala lang.
"Watch your words, Caprice. He's still your brother," he scolded. His voice was scary but to me, not anymore. Kung noon ay matatakot ako, ngayon hindi na.
I rolled my eyes but what he said stopped me.
"Let's see if you can do what you wanted here. Kung kaya mo silang takasan, ako hindi. Kung hindi mo sila susundin, pasusunurin kita sa'kin sa paraang magugustuhan nating dalawa."
