Chapter 34
Villanueva
That was my day and life when I enter Miss Powerful after they knew that I am the new Miss Powerful, left and right ang offer sa amin. Walang pili. From commercials to making a brand ambassador.
Wala akong tinangihan. Kahit sino man. Patuloy pa rin ang advocacy ko at pag tungo sa iba't ibang lugar para doon.
I smiled and let my eyeslashed down as I opened IG again. Diniin ko sa sarili ko ang card na hawak ko at umikot nang umikot habang nakasuot ako ng puting dress. Tumigil ako at ninamnam ang sariwang hangin sa may dagat. Ang hangin na siyang nagpapatangay sa akin palayo pero pilit pa rin akong bumabalik dito.
I looked down and smiled. Dahan dahan kong ginalaw ang kamay ko para ma endorsed ko ang dapat kong gawin. The camera moved and I looked at the other camera.
"Cut!" shouted the director.
Huminga ako ng malalim ng binaba na ang camera galing sa aking mata. Diretso ako sa tent para kumuha ng gamit at patungo na sa van.
He blocked my view with the flower, my favorite flower. I sighed and get it from him.
"Thank you, " I said coldly.
He sighed and let the sea be our view.
"I'll court you right, kahit pa ayaw mo ay pipilitin ko," buong sabi niya.
Imiwas lang ako ng tingin at halos bumanga na ang alon sa amin.
"Okay," I said coldly and went my view to the incredible sea I have right now.
I filled my eyes to it and the silence embrace me. Lumayo naman ako nang matanaw ko ang paglingon ng mga tao sa amin. Dala ko at yakap ko ang paborito kong bulaklak patungo sa van.
"Aalis ka na?" Usisa niya pa sa akin.
At halos pumikit ang mata ko nang maramdam ko ang pagsunod niya.
"Okay. I get it that your love will never be the same as before. But I am sorry for being so stupid to let you go without my explanation."
Binitawan ko ang kamay niya sa akin. Wala akong panahon para pag usapan ang nakaraan.
" Are you really avoiding the topic, Grace?"
The silence embraces us
"I will never push you into it. Just please, let me do the things I didn't do when we are together before."
Huminga ako ng malalim at lumingon sa mga mata niya na matalim. Lumapit siya dahan dahan sa akin at hindi ko alam sa sarili ko kung bakit hinayaan ko siyang makalapit pa sa akin. He leaned in and kissed my forehead. I didn't move i just let him do it.
The southern wind blew as the sun struck us.
"The Villanueva invites us, anak," Daddy announced when I am here in Caledonia.
"Why Daddy? Another tie?"
"Hindi naman anak. At kapag nag invite ayon na agad. Of course, hindi na kita ipipilit sa ganyang bagay. Desisyon mo na yan kung saan ka liligaya. After all, we can't control who you will love. I can't control the fact that you have a freedom to choose who you will spend the rest of your life with. I repsect and understand your decisions, anak. Follow your heart."
The wind blew away as we arrive carefull at their mansions. While wearing my simple fitted pink dress with a pair of white heels. Inalalayan ako ni Felix sa pagbaba ko. Kahit ayaw ko man at sitahin ko na siya pero nahihiya naman ako bg mabalingan ko ang ina at ama niyang nasa paborito nilang mga damit.
"Thank you for accepting the invitation, Karl. Gustong gusto din namin ito para ma celebrate ang pagkapanalo ni Grace sa Miss Poweful. Kahit alam kong malapit na niyang ipasa iyon," si Tita Gianna.
"Thank you tita. I appreciate your effort. And thank you for welcoming me here in your fabulous mansion," matipid kong wika.
Ramdam ko ang titig ng marami sa akin. Ultimo mga maid niya. Na alam kong saksi sa ginagawa ng madam nila sa akin noon.
"You deserve this one after all. I saw your performance it is all good," papuri niya.
Kumunot ang noo kong bumaling isa isa sa meron doon.
Hindi nila alam ang ginawa sa akin ni Madam Villanueva noon. Noong halos itulak niya ako at ipamukha na hindi kami bagay ng anak niya.
I don't know what should I be here in the first place. I should be glad that she invited me here.
Paano kung pakulo niya lang ito.
Kaplastikan ganon?
I know I have no right to judge but I have this feeling. I erase my thoughts and went back to reality. I smiled sweetly and continue my eating. I continue to consume the salad plate.
"Kain pa hija," she said.
The most Tiger Villanueva I have ever known.
