Phoebe's P.O.V
After namin magkita sa Starbucks,umuwi na din kami ni Jane.It is a heavy traffic ahead of me.I got bored inside the car so I turned my radio on.Noong makausad ako sa traffic,may nakita akong isang chinese restaurant at naisip ko na bilhan si Luke ng take out.After all,He deserve it dahil sinusunod niya lahat ng utos ko. Pagpasok ko doon,Pumunta ako sa may counter para umorder.I got my receipt so I sat down near the window and browse my phone.
Every article and links sa Facebook kahit sa Instagram ay pinag uusapan nila ang naging fight namin ni Olivia sa parking lot.Hindi lang niya inagaw sa'kin si Marlo,She also put My Name in the mud.I can't believe na someone really took a video of it and posted it on the internet. Sobrang toxic talaga ng media today.Naisip ko tignang ang profile ni Olivia sa IG.Hindi ko maipaliwanag pero ang bigat talaga ng loob ko sa kanya like kahit wala pa siyang ginagawa napapainit niya yung dugo ko.I texted Luke about my plan na mag crash sa Boracay trip nila Marlo and He agreed do it.After a while,May dalawang babaeng lumapit sa'kin.
"Hi Ms.Phoebe! Fan po ako ng mga vlogs mo po!" The girl with braces said. I don't really entertain these people pero I have to act nice kasi nasa public place ako and I don't want na mainvolve ako sa nanamang ussue. I just smiled at her.
"Halos 1 year na rin since last vlog mo. What happened?" The other girl said. I hate people when they're asking me bakit hindi na ako nag vovlog. Tama naman siya. Even before Tito Greg's death,hindi na ako nakakapag vlog. Sabi ko nalang na...
"Sobrang busy kasi eh tsaka alam niyo naman maraming mga vlogger din na sumisikat ngayon so let's give way for them""Ms.Niverdez,I hope you don't mind me asking pero ano po ang cause ng away niyo ni Olivia?"
Nainis ako dahil sa kanyang tinanong. Ang daming chismosa sa mundo nakakainis.
"With all due respect po,kung ano man ang meron sa amin ni Olivia ay sa amin nalang. We had a fight,Yes. The reason is too personal and I don't entertain that kind of question because it invades my personal space.I hope you don't mind pero I'd like to be alone now."
Hindi nagtagal umalis din ang dalawang babae dahil natanggap na nila ang order nila.Nainis ako sa approach nila sa akin.Kapag sikat ka parang lahat nalang ng galaw mo is monitored by everyone. Habang naghihintay ako sa Take out ko,Isang Pamilyar na mukha ang pumasok sa resto.
"Phoebe?" Sabi ni Cassandra. Kasama niya ang Step Dad ko...Si Marvin.
"Phoebe,Hindi ka manlang nagsabi na nakauwi kana pala from states.I heard about what happened to Marlo's Dad. Tell him I'm so sorry for their loss." He said.I can't look at him directly sa mukha niya.
"Makakarating" lang ang tangi kong nasabi.
"Your mom? Have Spoke to Your Mom lately?" Pahabol niya.
"Para saan pa? She left diba?" I said.
"Look,Phoebe,I know na You and Your mom are not in the best of terms but please talk to her. She really wants to see you."
"See me? How come sa lumipas na 10 years hindi manlang niya naisip na umuwi dito sa Pilipinas? Ever since My Dad died she changed.Kahit noong nasa puder ako nila Tita Melody hindi manlang niya naisip puntahan ako doon sa states."
"Phoebe,Busy lang ang Mom mo. Masyadong malaki ang responsibility niya doon...Aren't you proud of her? Maganda business namin ng Mom mo doon."
"Buti pa sa Car exporting business na iyan marami siyang time! Sa'kin na anak niya?mula noon wala siyang oras.Ngayon sasabihin mo She wants to see me?Tell her this..Wala siyang kwentang ina. She only loves you and your daughter. Samantalang ako? parang nanlilimos sa atensyon niya.
