Snowflakes Scattered by Wind (Kalopsia Series #2)

Kabanata 2

Kabanata 2

According to Lana Del Rey, "Be like snow, frigid but beautiful." That is why, after learning how harsh the world is, Chontelle built the thickest wall constructed of a gigantic ice berge to guard her heart from anybody who tries to enter. Despite this, she manages to be as beautiful as a snowflakes falling to make everyone she cares about happy. But, because life is a seasonal journey, we cannot forecast when the season will switch until we look for signals. That's why she had no idea the barricade she had built was slowly dissolving due to the power of the summer air.

Napasipol na lang si Chontelle matapos laklakin ang isang baso ng tequila. Humahagod iyon sa lalamunan niya na siyang mas nagpapatindi ng naguumapaw na kasiyahan sa dalaga.

"Party people!"

Sumigaw ang DJ ng De Luna Club. Kaya naman napasigaw na lang din siya. Kasabay ng masayang hiyawan ay ang sayawan sa dance floor. Hindi ito papakabog sa mga babaeng nagsasayaw ng malambot. Bagamat hindi ganon kagaling ay hindi naman ni Chontelle hinayaang mangulelat siya doon.

"Chontelle! Chontelle! Chontelle!"

Hindi naman siya nabigo nang magsimula nang isigaw ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kaniya ang kaniyang pangalan.

Great!

Dahil doon ay mas hinatawan ng dalaga at ginalingan ang paggiling ng balakang at baywang. Hindi niya alintana ang mga matang kulang na lang ay kainin siya ng buhay at mas pinagtuunan ng pansin ang malamyos na pagsasayaw.

She was exhausted.

Last day, nagkaroon ng malaking problema sa pinagtatrabahuhan niyang airlines. Nagbabawas sila ng empleyado at mukhang hindi imposibleng masama siya at matanggal sa trabaho. Hindi na iyon kataka-taka sa dami ba naman niyang day off. Then, a while back, she met with a representative of a fast food chain who was attempting to convince her to make an investment and afterwards disparaged her knowledge of investments because she was a woman and a flight attendant for a small regional airline.

Like what the fuck, right? Where's the equality in that?

Hindi kagaya ng mga kaibigan ni Chontelle ay masasabing hindi kilala ang pangalan niya sa kahit anong larangan. Nanatiling tahimik lamang siya bagamat gumagawa ng sariling landas sa karangyaan. Chontelle decided to work as flight attendant in a local airline and invest her money to different companies. Sa ganong paraan kumikita siya kahit walang gawin.

The truth is, Chontelle was eager to have an investment in the said fast food chain. She was looking forward to it actually, but everything change in a snap.

Kung hindi lang sikat at malaking kompanya ang contract na inihahain sa kaniya ay hindi siya mapapa-oo. Iyon nga lang malaking interest ang ibinigay sa kaniya. The contract was good enough and secured to took a bet. Saktong nangangailangan pa naman siya ng malaking pera para bilhin ang bagong labas na roll royce sweptail. Sa ngayon ay may 5 million siya at kung inenvest niya ay tiyak na lalago agad. The said car was cost for 15 million pesos. And yeah, Chontelle had to work hard for her little collection.

Hindi na nagulat pa si Chontelle nang may mangahas na pumulupot na kamay sa bewang niya. It's not like that's new. Lagi namang nangyayari iyon so, why waste time being shock.

"Hey babe." 

Naramdaman ng dalaga na mas inilapit ng pangahas ang katawan nito sa kaniya. As Chontelle observed it, the body of this man wasn't well build enough to satisfy her fantasies.

So, she thought of cracking his skull or breaking his ribcage at the moment.

With that Chontelle smirked.
