"Mom.Are you okay?",ngumuso si Zachary at hinawakan ang magkabila kong pisngi.
"Syempre naman.",I smiled at him.Masaya naman talaga kase ako.I don't know if Zacheus did that proposal to lessen the rumors or is he really sincere? I can't tell.Anything I hear,I don't believe them.I'm like an 18 year old girl having trust issues,duh!
"Are you really going to go back to Daddy because you love him...or naawa kalang sa akin that's why you keep on being zoned out.",pumiyok pa siya.
Oh,my baby being matured again.
"Baby,act according to your age.",hinaplos ko ang tuktok ng kaniyang ulo at hinalikan ang kaniyang noo.I smiled before turning off the lights and leaving the room.
"Are you really going to comeback to that asshole?",she sipped on her cup of tea and looked at me.Siya ba talaga agad ang makakasalubong ko habang napaka dami kong gagawin?
"Who gave you a key to this house?",I said,pissed.
"Why? Am I not allowed to visit my own sister?",umayos ito ng upo at tinaasan ako ng kilay.
"Wow! After you had me kidnapped,you're calling me a sister now,huh.Real quick.It doesn't suit you,Almira.",I sat adjacent to her and crossed my legs.
"Listen here,nutpick.I'm not saying you should not go back to that asshole...",panimula niya.I raised two of my brows."...well,kinda.I just want you to have a good family ahead,Antonette.I am not a family woman,I don't have a husband,and a kid.But I have this instinct that YOU...SHOULD...distance yourself from that--"
"Asshole?...yeah maybe you are right.You have this kind of instinct na ang galing manguha ng tiwala.Good job by the way...for inheriting your mother's richness and arrogance.",I raised the cup as if adressing a toast.She didn't seem happy to hear my mock.
"Look,Antonette.I am not here to cause trouble,okay? I may not be a good sister,but I have a duty to protect you,and Sheniah.This may not be worth considering since you don't believe anything I say--"
"I do not believe anythin--"
"I love you.I love the both of you."
Natigilan ako kaka inom sa tsaa.Tumayo ako at siningkitan siya ng mata.
"I heard you and Mira were sisters? Well,you two are not alike.She is good...in many ways.But that doesn't make her a trustworthy person.Just like you,of course.You make look pretty,elegant and shimmering with glitters that sucks...",tiningnan ko siya mula ulo hanggang paa."But you are not worthy of my trust.Try better next time."
I walked pass the counter and went to my room.I sat on the bed and tried to calm my self down.
"Why am I this rude...",I covered my face with my palms.
Hindi naman kase ako ganito.I was just a jolly teenager back then.I shop on malls,hang out with my friends,I don't go to school,I don't have a job but I have a lot of money.
Pero simula noong mapunta ako sa London,everything changed.
Noong...bumalik siya sa akin,my feelings changed.
Gusto kong ibalik ang dating ako,pero hindi ko magawa dahil nasasaktan ako.
I want to forgive my sisters,my mother,and everyone that hid the truth from me.But somethings just not right.I-I can't.
I let out a sigh and lied down on my bed.
Otomatikong nag off ang ilaw at kinain na ako ng antok.
"Manag Belen!",I grabbed my car keys and left my room after dressing myself.I wore my usual outfit.White trousers with a gucci belt paired with a beige polo on top.
