Sleep In Paradise

Chapter 19

Sa loob ng ilang buwan ay puro pag aaral at trabaho lang ang ginawa ko. Laging mga kapatid ko lang ang iniisip ko. Good thing drake stayed on my side whatever happens, he is there carresing me whenever I felt longing for someone I don't even want to see anymore.

He left us and build with his new freaking family and never even bother to check on us. He left with his guts never look back to my siblings and that's how I swore to myself that even though his new goddamn family had his love and care now, mom and my siblings will still have mine. They have me and I would never leave them just how he leaves us. Ipapamukha ko sa kanya na hindi sya kawalan saamin.

Mag iisang taon na akong nagtatrabaho sa pinakaunang trabaho na pinasukan ko, but it never bother to tire me up. My remained family were encouraging me. Sila nalang ang pinanghahawakan kong lakas.

I graduated in highschool together with drake and my friends. They never leave me. I am so greatful that I got a friends like them.

"I am so proud of you Maria Gwyneth. I am thankful to your dearest cousin that she brings you here." puri nya.

"Is that a compliment Sir Joseph?"natatawang tanong ko.

"Consider it. I am glad we found you. My company grew higher than I thought. Nakapag patayo na din tayo ng panibagong building sa ibang lugar dito sa pilipinas. How come, ikaw lang ang may mataas na record dito." Ok. That was a compliment.

"I just did my best sir. I didn't expect you to put me in a higher position."nakangiting sabi ko. Naging team manager na kasi ako dito dahil daw mas maayos ang pakikipag usap ko sa mga callers. Halos ang iba ay naging kaibigan ko na rin on phone.

"I still remember the few of your answers on your interview."nakangiting sabi nya.

I see myself five years from now, working in the same company but in a higher position.

I giggled.

"Still wondering kung bakit ako pa na baguhan ang nilagay mo sa mataas na posisyon."

"You deserve that." tumango ako saka tumayo na. Lumabas na ako ng office nya saka naghintay sumakay sa second hand na kotse ko. I bought this intentionally on my graduation para sa mga kapatid ko. Tinuruan muna ako ni drake mag drive hanggang sa ma hasa ako.

I departed the building now heading to our home. Naabutan ko ang motor ni drake sa labas.

Oh, I miss that.

Bumaba na ako ng kotse at pumasok ng bahay. Nasa baba sila pati si mama pero si drake ay nasa taas. Nakadungaw lang sa mula sa taas. Naka kunot ang noo nito habang nakatingin sakin.

"You are doomed."sambit ni drake nang hindi tumitingin saken.

"You probably forgot something ate."sabi ni sofia. Tumango si sab.

Nangunot ang noo ko at tinignan si mama ng nagtatanong. Nagkibit balikat lang sya saka bumalik ang tingin sa tv.

Umakyat na ako at dahan dahang lumapit kay drake.

"D-did I do something y-you didn't like?"kabadong tanong ko. Matalim pa din ang tingin nya saken.

"You really forgot."

"What did I forgot."

"What date is it?"

"J-july seventeen."sambit ko. Nanlaki ang mata ko nang may maalal-.

Shit!

Nagtaas ng kilay si drake. He crossed his arms over his chest and stare at me.

I gulped as I stared him too.
