Erykah Sunshine
.
"Do you think he'll love this?" I gazed at Samantha, and she nodded weakly.
"I supposed." She rolled her eyes in dismay, giving me a cold shoulder of disapproval.
"Come on, Erykah. You are not that stupid, are you? Can't you see that Arnold is just using you?"
Napabuntong-hininga siya at hindi maipinta ang mukha habang nakatitig sa akin. Nawala ang ngiti ko sa mukha at nabalot ng kaba ang puso ko.
Si Arnold nalang ang natitirang pag-asa. Siya ang buhay ko ngayon at bukas. Mahalaga siya sa akin at umiikot lang ang mundo ko sa kanya.
"Sam, you should try to open your heart. You will see. . ." Umikot akong saglit at saka tinitigan ang kabuuang hitsura ko sa salamin.
Somehow, I felt worried, and the pain kept bothering me.
"Ugh, kung katulad mo lang magmahal ay hindi na ano! Ayaw kong magpakatanga na tulad mo. I-I mean, there's nothing wrong to fall in love, Erykah, but not to the extend of turning a blind eye to everything," she looked at me, feeling worried too.
Hindi naman ako tanga at ramdam ko ito sa titig ni Samantha sa akin.
"Good luck sa journey mo, okay? And take note, ayaw ng step mother mo sa 'yo at hindi kayo close ng step sister mo. Ewan ko ba kung sadyang lahi ba ninyo ang mga baliw sa pag-ibig? Katulad na katulad ka kasi ng ama mo!" Humalukipkip siyang tinitigan ako at napailing na.
Napalunok ako habang nakatitig sa sarili sa salamin.
"Tsk, peace of advice, Erykah. Don't be fooled by the people around you, okay? Your step-sister is a wolf—dress up in sheepskin! And your stepmother is just waiting for the right time to kill your father." She sat down, looking at me indirectly.
I covered my ears because I didn't want to hear it. I had enough of it, and today, I don't want to hear any more.
"Please don't ruin my day, Sam," I whispered with a little shake. I felt like my flesh was shaking, scared because I didn't want to accept it.
Mahal ako ni Papa, at iyon lang ang mahalaga sa akin.
My stepmother can treat me bitter together with her spoiled brat daughter, Elloida. Wala akong pakialam sa kanila! They can shower in gold. I don't care as long as I have Arnold with me.
"A-Arnold is not like that." Lumiit ang boses ko at inayos kong muli ang sarili. Tinitigan ko na ang mukha sa salamin.
"I know, right!? But heck, are you that stupid, really?" she mouthed, gawking at me. "You are going to propose to your boyfriend now?"
Kumurap ako. Bahala na. Pero ito ang gusto kong mangyari ngayon.
"Oh well, good luck, Erykah. I have to go." She stood up and walked past me.
