So Close Yet So Far (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7

I'm currently in an exclusive bar with my friends. We are celebrating our last day of sem break.

I can't believe na after this upcoming sem we will be a graduating college.

I'm also 19 years old now, my birthday have passed.

My supposed engagement is cancelled. I said no.

I don't think Hugo and I both wanted it and base on our last encounter I believe we had an agreement. At yun ay ang hi-hindi ako sa dapat na kasal namin kapalit ng pabor na hiningi ko sa kanya.

Although he never said it firsthand, I still think that that's what we agreed.

We never saw each other again after that encounter, I become busy with school and other things.

I believe that his also busy but I knew that he has always been busy with his job.

On that faithful day, After we went out of the building nagpahatid kami sa mall kung saan ang bag na gusto naming bilhin.

We did bought the bag using Hugo's card. Pero turo ng turo si Brianna. She used Hugo's card as if it's hers.

I tried stopping her kase nakakahiya.

Sinubukan kung agawin ang card sa kanya, kaya lang ayaw pa awat.

She told me that Hugo is filthy rich and hypothetically kahit bilhin pa daw namin ang mall ay hindi ito makaka apekto sa pera nila.

I knew that but still it's a matter of pride and respect.

After we shopped. I decided na ipadala ko nalang sa driver ang card ni Hugo dahil nahihiya ako. I know it's wrong dahil dapat ako na ang nagbigay rito pero parang wala akong mukhang ihaharap sa kanya.

I left a hand written letter saying how thankful I am and I will be forever in dept with him.

I also promised that I will soon pay my debt with my hard earned money. Pero syempre mga 3 to 4 years pa yun. I am still dependent to my parents and I am still a student.

I also included a thank you gift for him dahil sa kabaitan niyang pinakakita which is a chocolate cupcake that I baked na nasa ref dahil pinapalamig ko. I prefer cold cupcake.

Pinadala ko ito sa driver matapos niya kami maihatid sa bahay.

I also noted that I will say no to the marriage just like how we agreed to.

I do feel guilty noong nakarating kami sa bahay but Brie keeps on insisting na it's ok since sila naman daw ang pinakamayaman sa pinas barya lang daw yun para kay Hugo.

Although hindi natuloy ang supposed wedding. My dads partnership with the lardizabal continued pero konti lang na projects ang na assign sa company ni dad because the Lardizabal are still affiliated with other company which is a big loss for my father's business but his company is still booming.

My attention is diverted when I saw Trevor walking on my direction. Madalas din kaming magkita ni Trevor mostly on social gathering like here in this bar.

We formed this special bond, parang naging mas malapit kami.

Nang makalapit siya ay niyakap ko siya.

"I keep on seeing you Priscilla." Sabi niya habang natatawa.

He seemed kinda tipsy amoy na amoy ko din ang alak sa kanya.

"Hey! It's good to see you too Trev" pabiro kong sabi sa kanya.

"You look really hot." I laughed at what he said.

I am wearing a red short dress and a red glittery high heels.

I put on a smokey eye look that made me look mature compare to my real age, I completed the look with redish nude lipstick.
