=Andie=
“Marry me.”
I frowned. “Cut that shit, Marco. It’s not funny. Now get to the point and tell me what you want.”
“What? That’s what I want. I want you to marry me.” Umakto pa siya na parang inosenteng bata. Peste.
“Will you get straight to the point or should I take the honor to shove a pen down your throat? Choose, Marco.”
“You know we’re going to reach that point, Andie.”
I shot him a threatening look. “Marco.”
He raised both of his hands in surrender. Finally, tumigil din siya, “Well, I’m just here to chill. I haven’t been to Seoul for so long.”
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. “And what does that have to do with me?”
“I want you to hang out with me.”
“Can’t you just consider my rejection as a payment for all the times you have bothered me when we were in America? Seriously, Marco. I have no time for you now if you’d excuse me I have some other businesses to attend to.”
“Awww. Maybe next time?”
“Whatever, I’m leaving.”
Iniwan ko na siya doon. The fuck is wrong with that bastard? Marry him? Like seriously? Kahit biro o totoo man ‘yun, I would never say yes. Bakit? Kasi hindi ko siya gusto. Nayayamot na ako sa pagmumukha niya na halos araw-araw, pinupuntahan niya ako sa Seotan to annoy the shit out of me.
You ask what role does he play in my life? Well, there’s nothing big about him which concerns me. Siya lang naman ang peste sa buhay ko noon sa L.A., at ngayon sa Seoul na naman. His grandpa is good friends with my grandparents. Let me just say, we’re business partners. They run a metal company while we make cars. We click, don’t we?
The oldies always say na bagay raw kami, na dapat daw we will should end up together. Yuck. As I’ve said, ayoko sa kanya. Habulin siya ng mga babae, oo, which makes him a playboy. He hooked up with a bunch of girls before, at kapag nagsasawa na siya, he would go up to me and ask me to pretend as his girlfriend. Once ko lang ‘yun ginawa. Ayoko nang masampal at matapunan ng frap ah. As a revenge kinaladkad ko siya sa bathroom at hinawakan sa leeg, throwing threats at her. Buti naman sumunod siya, or else baka matagal na siyang napulot sa kalsada. Rude? I don’t care. That served her right. Nobody messes with Andie Tan.
I was driving back to the mall to get the ring when I received a call from my auntie, telling me to drop by at SME for important announcements. So after thanking the saleslady, pumunta na ako sa SME.
Walang guard pero may mga fans so I put on my glasses to cover myself a little. Nagpark ako beside a van at lumabas ng sasakyan ko, ignoring the fans na nasa labas. Of course, mga bulungan di mo matatakasan.
“Omo! Trainee ba siya?”
“Parang hindi, eh. Lumabas siya ng magarang kotse bago lang.”
“Sino kaya siya?”
“Hindi ko alam pero naiinis ako sa kanya.”
Wala akong pakialam sa mga pinagsasabi nila as long as they won’t cross the borders. Kapag may ginawa silang di kanais-nais, then that would be my cue to take action.
