First Rain Of Summer | COMPLETED

THERESE'S POV

Grandma, shockingly, visited me in my own apartment. It's been two since the incident happened. Halos lahat ng kamag-anak ko nalaaman iyon dahil pinagkalat iyon ni Auntie Jess. That bitch.

I even received an earful from Mom, while Dad stayed silent. Also, that night I received a message from Auntie Carmia, congratulating me for grabbing Jess' hair and teaching her child a lesson.

Their child is so rude and a spoiled brat!!!

And that Jess, argh! She's cheating yet that bastard, Benedict just shrugged it off.

Ang bobobo talaga ng mga lalaki sa angkan natin. :[

I'll be home soon, see ya, my favorite niece!!!

Grandma said that I had a nice apartment but I know why she's here, she will scold me and make me apologize to Jess.

"That's not going to happen," inunahan ko na siya. "I'm not going to apologize."

Confusion is written all over her face. What the heck? Isn't she going to scold me?

"Oh, that's not the reason why I'm here." She's roaming, inspecting the whole kitchen.

"Then why are you here?" I impatiently asked.

"I want you to stay away from Eula. She's a sworn enemy."

I rolled my eyes with what she had just said. As if, Madam Eula is my ticket to get away from all of you. If there's someone that I want to use, Madam Eula is a perfect fit for it. Not anyone, definitely not from this fucked up clan.

"I'm friends with his grandson. I can't do that."

"I heard he's part of a gang, that delinquent young guy." Tumigil ito sa paglalakad. "That's an order, stay away from them."

"Whatever."

Hindi rin nagtagal dito sa Grandma and I felt relieved. Ayoko ng bad energy sa bahay na 'to. She can't just boss me around.

I spent my whole afternoon lying down and scrolling through Pinterest, looking for inspiration for my kitchen and living room. I still need to install some appliances; I don't even have a dining table.

My room is still in mess, I have a mattress and one pillow. Iilan pa lamang ang gamit na ang nandito sa bahay. Mabuti na lang at may nakainstall na ng air conditioner because the heat is unbearable these past few days.

It's five p.m. when I decided to go out and head to the mall. I'll purchase a mini fridge, a dining table for two, an electric induction cooker, and a sofa. I'll just have a take-out for dinner. I only cook instant food, like noodles.

I used to feed myself all alone. Growing up, I have no proper nutrition despite having a rich parent. Basically, I have to take care of myself, including feeding, bathing and cooking

The sun is setting and its peach is radiating the road. I'm driving by myself and putting some music on. Oh Cecilia by The Vamps.

I sang along, "I turn my radio up and it's just my luck, why-y-y-y-y-y me? I turn my TV on, it's the same old songs."

Kai used to play this song whenever he's practicing with his band. I actually love the song.

I sighed, relieved that there are few cars around the parking lot. Hindi ako mahihirapan maghanap ng parking space. When I parked the car, humid air greeted and that made me frown. Ang init pa rin kahit ganitong oras na.

The first place I went to is the appliance store. A store crew greeted me as I entered the premises.

"Good afternoon po, ma'am."
