The Bad Girl's Depression II

Chapter 3 - Silent Date

I didn't go to office today. Ilang tawag na ang narecieve ko kay Cedrick pero hindi ko ito sinasagot. Siguradong tatalakan niya lang ako. And I'm not open to shts this early. Buti nalang bumalik na si Daddy ng America at tuluyan na kaming hinayaan ni Cedrick na mamuno sa company niya. Of course, he wouldn't let my mother to be left alone in the mansion knowing that Gustin sometimes sleep at his band's apartment.

I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday at Ros' house. I somehow felt guilty of what I have said to them. They're right. I don't know everything that happened to them.

Obviously, Vianney's the daughter of the two stupid love birds. Nagbunga ang kalandian nilang dalawa. Of course! Hindi na ako dun mabibigla. Dad was disappointed when he knew Greg's foolishness but in the other hand, Mom was excited because she will be having her first grand daughter.

But, Vianney was a blessing to Greg's life. Because of Vianney, he finally confirmed that the love he had with Rosalie didn't left him. He became more responsible and errr--- mature? He really became the father type of person but he still doesn't forget the fact that he's still an illegal person who does illegal stuffs.

They love each other, but they still can't marry. I don't know exactly the reason why but they said that they will get married soon.

The reason why Vianney hates them both is when one time, after Vianney's 4th birthday party, when she saw Greg and Rosalie fighting. To the point that Greg almost hurt Rosalie. They were fighting because Rosalie doesn't want Greg to go. Greg was drunk that time and everything went crazy.

Since that day, their daughter hate them both and treated them like complete strangers. Until now. Kung hindi dahil saakin, hindi tatagal sa panig nila si Vianney kasi ganun siya kagalit sa magulang niya. And that was the first time, she called me her mother and Brent as her father. Greg left together with Rosalie, and left Vianney to us.

Pero madali lang naman at bumalik si Rosalie. Kinuha niya ulit saamin si Vianney at tumira na dito sa Pilipinas. And the rest was history.

"Dito nalang." Sabi ko sa taxi driver. Hindi ko dinala kotse ko kasi sa sobrang inis ko kagabi, tinapon ko yung susi nito sa kanal. Hindi ko pa nakukuha duplicate keys.

Napagpasyahan kong sa mall aksayahin ang araw ko. Kaysa naman sa bahay, nakakabagot at nakakainis ang presensya ng mga guard at yaya na nagmamatiyag sa bawat galaw ko. Kung pwede lang nga itali lahat sila at itago sa bodega buong buhay nila gagawin ko eh. But just realize that I might waste my precious sweat on nonsense things. And it's a nonsense thought as well.

10 am.

Should I take my late breakfast or early lunch? Oh well.

Dumiretso ako sa KZ's House na lagi kong tinatambayan dati. Nasa top floor siya. Isa siyang relaxing place sa loob ng mall. Pagpasok na pagkapasok mo dun ay hindi mo na maririnig ang ingay sa labas. May books available naman don ancient books to latest novels kumpleto don at kahit nakakasawa na ang mga pagkain nila don, pwede na. I just need some place that is quiet and stress free.

Nagorder lang ako ng usual order ko. Ngumiti ang ilan sa may counter sakin as I show them my resting btch face. Kilala na nga ata nila ako dahil sa madalas na pagdalaw ko dito noon. Natatandaan ko pa din kasi yung mukha nung ibang crew dito.

Nang naghahanap ako ng mauupuan ay ramdam ko ang mga ilang pares ng mata na nalatingin saakin. What? Am I that drop dead gorgeous? Or ngayon lang sila nakakita ng babaeng nakablack leather jacket, maroon tank top, black ripped jeans and stylish black boots? Oh! I forgot. Filipinos.

Just shrugged and let them stare at my beautiful imperfections. Nakapili ako ng malawak na sofa sa bandang dulo pagkatapos kong kumuha ng libro. Tinanggal ko ang boots ko at nahiga na dito.
