Cursed Beauty

Uh oh.

"You're here. I thought you're coming for lunch?" - Mr. Villareal

"Stuck sa main building dad, I needed to find another way here." He said while smiling.

Gahd.

"Anyka, I believe you know Jhared, my son." - Mr. Villareal

Did I hear him right?

"Hello Anyka." He's smiling at me, pero hindi yun yung nakakatuwa o friendly smile. Mockery!

"Uhh, hi." How can he be Mr. Villareal's son? Eh napaka-antipatiko niya!

"I believe you still remember Anyka's parents, your Tito Aaron and Tita Trina. They're are our major sponsor for the Marketing Week." - Mr. Villareal

"Good afternoon po, Tito, Tita. No wonder Anyka's really popular not just here in Thenea, may pinagmanahan pala siya." He said while smiling.

Aba, bolero to ah. Nagpapapganda ng pangalan sa parents ko?

"And you have grown to be a very witty and handsome man Jhared." - Mom

"He is intelligent too, right? Kaya pala nagka traffic ng literal sa main building." - Dad said while smiling.

"Hindi naman po masyado Tita, Tito. Hehe" - Jhared. Pa-humble pa tong mokong na to.

"Minsan maloko rin yang batang yan. Mabuti na lang at hindi nagpapabaya sa pag-aaral, kahit maraming babae." - Mr. Villareal

"Dad naman, wag mo naman ako ilaglag." - Jhared saide while scratching his head

Nagtawanan sila nila Mommy.

"Anyka, ok ka lang?" - Mom. Feeling ko tuloy na-out of place ako. How come they know this guy and i don't? >.

"Huh? Ah, yeah mom. I'm ok." Shiz, para naman akong ewan! -__-

"Anyka probably doesn't remember much since the.. accident, but you and Jhared practically grew up together, not until they migrated to the U.S."

So family ties huh. And yeah, I think I kinda remember him now. He's kuya's playmete before. I hate it. -_-

"You're also in your junior year right Jhared?" asked Dad.

"Yes Tito, I'm also taking up Tourism, magkaiba lang po kami ng block ni Nyka." - Jhared.

~Weh? Close tayo? Tss.

"Ganun ba? I'm sure hindi ka naman mahihirapan sa paglipat Jhared." - Mom

"Sana nga po. Hehe" - Jhared

"Oh siya, we need to go na Gerard, Jhared." - Mom

"Thank you very much Aaron and Trina." - Mr. Villareal

"There's nothing to thank for Gerard. We hope everything will go smoothly." - Dad

We said our goodbyes. Lumabas na rin ako ng lounge kasabay ng parents ko. Jhared was behind us.

"So, we'll see you again Jhared." - Dad

"Sige po Tito, ingat po. Take care po Tita." Bumeso si Jhared kay Mommy.
