Ruining Her (TAGALOG VERSION)

Chapter 2

That evening we were invited to Avaline's house for dinner as promised, of course the food served to us where Bicol's best, such as the famous Bicol express, the gintaang native na manok, the laing, ginataang puso ng saging, sinantolan, and some pancit. Damn it puro may gata. But no one can deny the fact na masarap ang mga ito. It's totally perfect to serve when you wanted to ruin someone's diet schedule. Ma try nga iserve Kay Bunso, hahahahah.

"This is really delicious." Saad ni dad on his second scoop of rice, medyo nag aalala nga ako at baka atakihin siya bigla ng high blood niya, because he Is eating past his diet.

"Of course, it's Bicol's best." Sagot Naman ni Avaline, she smiled at my dad before looking at me, agad naman akong nag iwas ng tingin at tinuon ang atensyon ko sa pagkain.

"Do you like the food Ms. Marcolette?" Tanong niya saakin, tumango lang ako at nag patuloy kumain, hindi ko siya tinitingnan and i'am trying my best to not be noticed by her.

"I'm glad, kanina ka pa Kasi tahimik kaya medyo nag alala ako." She stated and showed me her million dollars smile, which she rarely shows to anyone.

" My daughter is still a bit tired from our travel, pagpasensyahan mo na siya kung medyo moody siya." Saad ni dad Kay Avaline, I glared at him but he ignores me. Seriously? Bakit kailangan niya pang ipaliwanag ang attitude ko?

" It's totally fine. So tell me, is Marcolette the one handling your business or what? Since I've heard from News that your eldest son is in Portuguese, joining a race championship." Pag uusisa ni Avaline, medyo na surprise Naman ako na updated siya about sa Buhay namin.

" My daughter is the current COO of the company, she's also running an Independent business." Tumango naman si Avaline bago uminom ng kanyang wine.

" Did you ever pursue your dreams of becoming a writer?" Napaangat bigla ang tiningin ko sakanya. Tiningnan ko si dad na naka tingin din saakin.

" No, I stop pursing it." Napakunot Naman ang noo ni Avaline.

"That's quite disappointing, Have you read your daughter's literary works? Did you know that she's one of my outstanding students? She write very well." I glared at Avaline, gusto kong tumigil na siya sa pag sasalita, because it's annoying.

"Really? I'm sorry but I haven't read any of her literary works. Gusto ko mang basahin, pero Marcolette have already burned it." Sabay silang napatingin saakin, Avaline eyes were slightly wide before it turn into a disappointed look, she shakes her head na para bang teacher siya na disappointed sa ginawa ng student niya. And I hate that look.

"That's a shame, your daughter excels in writing romance fiction, and even poems, your daughter used to leave poems on a books page inside our libraries, like a love letter to her secret lover." Tiningnan ako ng Makahulugan ni Avaline, agad Naman akong nag iwas ng tingin at nag focus nalang sa pagkain, totoo yun, it was how I met Avaline, Isa Kasi akong romance fanatic that time, I dreamt of meeting someone through poems and secret passages written on book at umaasang pag tatagpuin kami ng tadhana, Si Avaline ang naka basa ng mga poem at random love letters na sinusulat ko sa mga blank pages ng libro sa library, she was drawn to my letters and when she wrote her own...I fell in love, so deeply that I drowned. Bigla kong narinig na natawa si dad kaya napatingin ako sakanila. He wouldn't think of it as anything, but between me and Avaline, the words she stated have meaning.

" You seems to know my daughter well. Close ba kayo dati?" Narinig Kong tumawa ng mahina si Avaline.

"Oh I know you're daughter very well, I can read her like the back of my hand. I was her favorite teacher. Isn't it right Marcolette?" Napairap Naman ako at tinitingnan siya ulit, this time naka Kunot na Ang noo ko, she's playing with me, she's teasing me. But I soothed my emotion.
