Remember, I wasn't born to be loved

Chapter 5: Family Dinner

Zero's PoV

I'm sitting in our living room waiting for that woman to go down. I've been waiting for about half an hour sitting in the couch. Pahirapan na pagpilit ang ginawa ko sa babaeng yun.

We're going to my grandparents house for a family dinner. Namamaga pa nga ung panga ko sa pagsapok niya saakin kanina. I touched the part where she smacked, sh*t it still hurts!

By the way, I'm Zero Elrick Garcia. Grandson of the magnate of Asia. I came from a really rich family, almost all of the businesses that you can think we have. But only the high class business.

Our parents know that we really hate each other but they're so persistent and kept saying that we will soon learn how to love each other. As if that would happen. And now we are totally late for our dinner, and I hate being late.

"Will you hurry up!" sigaw ko sa may paanan ng hagdan namin. I'm an impatient person and an impatient person hates to wait.

"Will you lower your voice down!Nakakarindi ka na kasi eh. Kanina ka pa sigaw ng sigaw jan." sabi niya ng makababa siya ng hagdan.

I was taken aback of what I saw. She's wearing this pink mini-dress with a matching pink sandals. Nakalugay lang ang buhok niya with a little ribbon on the side. This is the first time that I've seen her like this.

Because the clothes that she wear are larger than her and with matching jogging pants. She wears it every day at home. Minsan nga iniisip ko na damit ko na ang ginagamit niya. But now, she looks... somewhat like human. Pero syempre hindi ko yun sasabihin sa pagmumukha ng babaeng to.

I already knew her from the very start hindi pa kami kinakasal. Bullied kasi siya sa school nila that's why I know her. Ang balita sa Li'nes Academy are parang bilis lang ng isang bullet train kung makarating sa Santilleces Academy. I go to a different school, unlike Li'nes that is a semi-private school, Santilleces is an all private for bloody rich kids.

I know that there's something in her that's different from what she looks like. People think that she's from a low-class family. Ba't ko nalaman? Simple, I had a background check about her. Baka iniisip niyong stalker niya ako. No way in hell and heaven would do that. Never be and never will. She's not even close to being my ideal girl.

"Ehem..." tumikhim na lang ako para mabawasan ang uneasy atmosphere.

"Are we going or not? This dress is making me itch." reklamo niya bigla. Grabe kasusuot niya pa lang kinakati na siya. Hindi na ako sumagot at pumunta na sa sasakyan ko. Pagkapasok niya saka ko naman pinaandar ang kotse ko.

Pagdating namin sa bahay or should I say palasyo ni Lolo Zyn, there were already my parents and also hers.

"Hi Mommy." and she kissed her cheeks. "Hello Auntie." and also kissed my Mom's cheeks.

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me 'Mom'?"nakangiting sabi ni Mommy.

"A hundred times maybe." Shan said also smiling.

Why does she smile with other people? Pero pagdating sa bahay simangot nanaman yan at parang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa.. Her facial expression is always neutral when she's with me. And I don't give a damn. Sumunod na ako sa kanila Mom sa dining area, like the rest of the house it's black gold and white themed. This house is really from a rich family.

My grandparents own most of the companies in the Philippines and also outside the country. Same goes sa family nila Shan. But their forte is more on restaurants and hotels. Natahimik bigla sina Mommy at nakatingin lang sa likod ko. Katabi ko kasi sa upuan si Shan. Pumasok ang isang batang lalaki around 3 or 5 years old.

Tumakbo siya papalapit kay Lolo Zyn at naupo sa lap nito. Pinagmasdan ko lang ang bata and this one thing really bothered me. WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE ME?????

THIRD PERSON PoV

Nakaupo na sa harap ng dining table ang pamilya Garcia at Young. Masayang nagkwekwentuhan ang mga magulang ni Shan at Zero but the two of them were like strangers to each other. Inom lang ng inom si Zero ng wine at kung minsan ay pinaglalaruan ito habang si Shan naman ay naiinip ng umuwi para maalis na niya ang damit na suot.

Ayaw na ayaw talaga niya ang mga mini-dress. Pauso naman kasi ng Lolo Sean niya na magsuot ng semi-formal na damit. Pagdating kasi niya ng bahay nagulat na lang siya ng nandun na si Zero.

Usually kasi siya ang nauunang umuwi dito. Nagkasapukan pa sila para lang mapilit siyang pumunta. Hindi na siya nakatiis kaya nagsalita na siya.

"Are we going to eat or not?" iritang sabi ni Shan.

Nabigla naman ang mga tao sa dining table sa biglang pagsalita ni Shan. Napailing na lang si Zero sa inusal ng asawa. Nababahala pa rin siya sa kung bakit hawig na hawig sila ng bata. There's always a possibility na baka sa kuya niya ito. Pero wala pa naman ata ng anak at especially ng asawa ang kuya niya.

"Just wait a bit dear." nakangiting sabi ng Mommy ni Shan.

"Lolo, are they my Mommy and Daddy?" turo ng bata sa kanilang dalawa.

Silence. Yan ang nanaig sa buong kwarto. Hindi maintindihan ni Shan at Zero ang ibig sabihin ng bata. They both looked at the kid as if it said something really offending. Napatigil naman sa pagkwe-kwentuhan ang mga magulang nila.

Nakatingin lang ang bata kay Lolo Zyn, naghihintay ng sagot same with Shan and Zero.

"Yes Maur... They are YOUR parents."
