La Douleur Exquise: Imee Marcos

Chapter 65

Francheska Eloise Marcos' POV

"What happened?" tanong ni mommy.

"I told Enzo, that.. there won't be a friendship between me and him anymore if he chooses to stay with Abigail.." I straightforwardly said.

"Oh, angas.." biro ni Tito Rod.

"Tito Rod naman, it's not funny kaya!!" reklamo ko naman as I wiped my tears away.

"Ikaw naman, alam mo, wag ka na umiyak. He'll find his way back to you if gugustuhin niya.." he muttered as he tried to comfort me.

"Aba'y dapat gugustuhin niya, didisturbuhin ko dad niya araw araw hangga't hindi.." dagdag pa neto.

"Don't listen to him, baliw yan.." biro ni mommy as she showered me with cuddles.

Kuya Matthew then entered the room with a basket of fruits.

"Good morning! I came to pick Eloise up, may gala kami.." he said. Oh shoot. I forgot.

"Hi kuya! Uh- I'll just change my clothes.." I said as he just stared at me.

"Oh ano na naman Matthew?" I boldly said at tinaasan siya ng kilay.

"Wala, nothing. Bilisan mo mapagsabihan na naman tayo ng older half (Borgy and Mike).." he said as he crossed his arms..

I just changed clothes and as I was brushing my teeth, I remembered about the pearl necklace after seeing it's reflection from the mirror. So, I decided to take it off.

"It's freaking tacky!" I mumbled habang pilit na tinatanggal pero di nakikisama ang hook, I pulled it nalang at nasira ito. Gosh, so many things na nakakabwiset sakin.

I quickly gathered all the pearls na nalagas and wrapped it with my handkerchief, it might block the sink drainage... And.. I want to keep it..

"Di ka maliligo?" Mom asked as she saw me exit the comfort room.

"I already did kaninang umaga.." I reason. I actually haven't, but na-short na ako sa oras.

"No, you did not!" she replied and raised a brow.

"I did.." I insist.

"No, you didn't.." she replied.

"Maliligo nalang ako when I get home.." I eventually gave in.

"See! You haven't!" she replied at matalas akong tiningnan.

"It's okay, ma.." I reason, again.

"Bye Tito Rod.. pagaling ka, okay?" I quickly bid my farewells bago pa ako tuluyan na masermonan ni mommy.

"Bye ma, I'll ask nila kuya if we can go home earlier, so I can bring you food for dinner, and we can take turns dito and you can go home. You look tired na kasi.." I said and kissed her in the cheeks before walking away.

"Take a bath before you step your feet on this room again!" she ordered and raised her fist.

"I will, mwuah!" I teasingly gave her a flying kiss before going out of the room.

"Have you been crying?" Kuya Matthew asked as he offered me a handkerchief.

"Nope, I haven't.. Why would you give such claims, Mr. Matthew??" I said and crossed my arms as we were walking.

"Your eyes are namamaga, kiddo. Don't you try lying to your kuya Mattyu.." he said as he made akbay to me.

"Who made you cry?" he asked.
