"Ace!" my smirk couldn't get any wider with the announcement of my triumph.
The lady I was playing with pouted her lips and acted like a lost and wet puppy. "Why are you always hood at almost everything? That's unfair!"
"Sofia, I live and breathe in a world full of men. I need to learn golf and kick their ass." I answered her as I held my hand out so that the caddie can get the golf club from me.
Yeah, I am with the ever finesse Sofia Lim. Apparently, she found my presence lovely and quite entertaining at the same time kaya niyaya niya ako for a round of golf. And me, being the ever scenario maker that I am, agreed. I even wore my Ralph Lauren golf wear ensemble for this.
With the caddie following us, we slowly made our way to the golf cart. "Sofia, hindi ka naman pala marunong mag-golf, the hell you asked me for a round?"
Medyo stupid ko rin sa pqrt na yun eh, I forgot to analyze things. How can an ever proper woman like her know how to play golf? This girl got me on that part.
Pinamulahan siya ng pisngi sa sinabi ko, caught red handed. "Let's get some coffee first, shall we?"
Though I was eyeing her with curiosity, we heeded to what she said. We went to this coffee shop just outside the country club. After we have ordered, we sat on a couch just by the windows.
"So now, will you tell me why?" agad ko siyang tinanong matapos niyang kumagat dun sa waffle na binili niya.
"This is embarassing." natatawa talaga ko at this moment but I'm trying my hardest to hold the laughter in. Her awkwarness and embarassment would really make my ass fall off from laughing. "I don't know, I just felt that you are a good company that I should keep."
Reality hit me hard with what she said. Bigla kong naalala ang lahat ng mga nilalabag kong mga rules. The hell, a good company that she should keep? Fvck that shit. Yesterday and up until earlier today, I was just a mistress of a damn hot bachelor. Ngayon, bestfriend na ako ng babaeng girlfriend ng lalaking kinakalantari ko. Life will indeed throw random bricks of shit at people. And this is my biggest shit ever.
Nawala ang lahat ng bakas ng kasiyahan at positibong emosyon sa mukha ko. "On the contrary, I am and I will be your worst company ever."
Ngumiti ng napakaliwanag si Sofia, it is as if she's a little girl who just received a handful of candies. "That's what the other feeling bad people say. Don't idolize Maleficent Drew, you're better being Princess Aurora."
The eff. In front of her, I still keep my face passive, expressionless, void of any emotions. But under this wooden table that separates us, I am tightly clenching my hands to convey my growing annoyance of the conversation.
"I am no Disney character, I'm a human of reality." my voice was stern, firm.
"Who says we're not? What I am saying is stop underestimating yourself. You're not that bad."
"Underestimating myself?" hindi ako makapaniwala sa mga sinasabi niya. These are serious craps. "I think highly of myself, Miss Lim. I never underestimate myself."
We had a staring contest for a few second before she started laughing as she raises her hands. "Oo na, fine. You are the evilest of evil, okay na?"
"Take me seriously Sofia, I'm not a good company to be with."
"Why? How bad can you hurt me?"
I smirked at her. A mischievous smirk. It seemed so cruel na naalis sa mukha ni Sofia yung ngiti niya sa mga labi niya. "I can hurt you so bad to the point of breaking not only your heart but also yourself entirely."
Minsan, even though we are saying the truth, people will always believe what they wanted to believe. Hindi kasi porket nakikita nating mabait yung tao sa'yo eh talagang mabait sila. Have you guys ever heard the word "pagpapakitang tao"? You can't even trust yourself in this world.
"Grabe ka! Sobrang sama naman ng perception mo for yourself! Cut yourself some slack, Drew."
Sinimulan kong laruin yung inorder kong muffin that I just got a few bites, this lady is just really entertaining me right now. "Why are you so convinced that there's kindness in me? Sometimes, you should believe the sinners when they say they commit sins. This world is not filled with angels."
"Ang taong masama, hindi na pag-titiisang mag-pagod sa pakikipaglaro sa taong hindi marunong mag-golf."
Sofia was smiling serenely as she continues to sip the tea from her cup. "You're letting others believe your evil, why? Is it satisfying to know that you are able to intimidate people? You're putting up a show for everyone, Drew. Ganoon ba kahalaga ang mga tao sa paligid mo para magpanggap ka? I must say this, I have never admired those ghetto boys at the streets before you kept on insisting your cruelty. At least sila, hindi nagpapanggap. At least sila, they live their lives as if they're about to die."
"Would you like to experience how bad I am, Sofia?" Since I am not enjoying this talk, I'd like to give her a scare that would make her realize that I'm not someone to take lightly.
Kapansin pansin ang pagbabago ng emosyon ni Sofia ng marinig kung gaano ako kaseryoso. I even saw her flinch at some point.
"What if, agawin ko sa'yo yung boyfriend mo?"
