Her Twisted Mistake

Chapter 8

I was staring at my laptop and I was so engrossed in it. Kaya hindi ko namalayan na pumasok pala si Mommy sa library. 

Early in the morning, I immediately went inside the library to check if I have available clients. Yan kasi, pa hire hire pa ng driver. Now I have to accept more clients since I have a person to pay. 

I was regretting that I offered Ellison a job when I realised that might affect my focus. Baka kasi instead na iisipin ko ang mga dapat kong plano, iisipin ko pa kung saan ako kukuha ng pera pansweldo sa kanya. 

I checked if someone wanted my service, and I saw one. Yon lang at wala ng iba. The client told me nirecommend daw ako ni Alice sa kanya. We talk for a while bago kami natapos. 

After that, I made a contract for Ellison to sign. Gago yon, sana nag donate nalang ng sperm eh! Para hindi ako nahihirapan ngayon. 

Hindi ko alam ilang oras akong gumawa. I was lost in time. And when I'm done with it, naisip kong e-search ang school na eenrol-an namin for our masters in neurochemistry. May articles tungkol sa school and I got lost in reading it all. 

Kaya gulat na gulat ako ngayong nandito si Mommy. Hindi ko napansin ang pagpasok niya. 

"I've been looking for you, hija." I could hear the annoyance in her tone. 

I immediately smiled, tongue out between my teeth. I'm in trouble for sure! 

"Bakit, Mommy?" 

I tried to get her attention but her eyes stayed on my laptop kung nasaan ang picture ng school. 

"What is that? You're still planning to go to school again? Haven't we talked about this already?" 

I giggled nervously and closed my laptop. 

"Mom, hindi ah! Tinitingnan ko lang kung maganda." I trailed off. Gusto kong tumahimik but I decided to to push my luck again. "But if ever Mommy, will you allow me? Haven't you changed your mind? Gusto kong mag aral ulit." 

"What time did you enter the library?" tanong niya, ignoring my question. She's still mad about something. 

"Uhmm… around seven… bakit po?" I asked, a bit confused. 

And that answer annoyed mom again. "Seven? Sierra.. Kanina pa 'yon. It's already 12. Magkukulong ka ulit sa library just because you want to go to school again. Huwag na!" stress niyang sinabi. 

Mom sighed. 

"Samahan mo ako mag lunch. Your Daddy has a lunch meeting. Wala akong kasamang kakain." She tried to calm her voice but I know she is still stressed. 

I pout as I remembered a memory in the past. 

"Sierra, sasama ka ba? Vacation ng family sa palawan…" excited na sinabi ni Sheena. "Everyone is excited." 

It's the end of another school year and she did well. Pati sina Carolina kaya natuwa si Lola. She planned a whole family vacation to palawan. 

I sighed. "Hindi ako makakasama. Ang bababa ng grades ko. May INC pa ako at sa summer ko daw asikasuhin. I have to sit in and attend major exams again." 

Nag iwas ako ng tingin matapos kong sabihin 'yon. A big lie. Not entirely lie kasi may INC ako sa isang subject ko sa architecture but I already processed it. The reason why I don't want to go is because I have summer classes. Not my architecture course but Chem Eng. Enrolled na ako. 

Mommy wanted me to come pero hindi niya ako napasama. Kaya ako at ibang kasambahay ang naiwan. I spend most of my time in the library after school. A week after, Mommy came back. Sila ni Daddy. She can't enjoy the vacation daw while I'm staying in the house, studying. Everyone then came back. I ruin their vacation just like that.
