My Gothic Girl [ON-HOLD & EDITING]

Chapter 05

Anne

"Why so sudden ate? I'm here already at St. Anne!" I almost yelled at my sister. She called me early this morning just to make me attend that f*ckin meeting.

"Dad wants you to come here. Sabi niya kailangan mo nang matutunan kung paano magpatakbo ng company. Kaya kailangang nandito ka para unti-unti ka niyang ma-train." She explained. "Tsaka ayoko din na nandito ka eh. Alam ko kasing wala kang interest sa company. Pero alam naman natin na ikaw na ang magpapatakbo nito several years from now."

I just rolled my eyes.

"The hell will I ever run that freakin' company! Just tell him that I have an exam today." I sat on a chair that's here in the hallway. I'm on my way to my first class when she called.

"Alam mong hindi pwede. Pwede ka namang i-excuse eh. Tsaka ako kaya yung president ng university kaya pwede yun!"

"Duh! No one knows that you're my sister!" I exclaimed. Line line went dead for a several seconds. Akala ko wala na siya sa kabilang linya kaya tiningnan ko ang phone at ongoing naman ang call.

"Hmmm, I've got a better idea." She said. I've got the feeling that she's sitting on her swivel chair and her index finger is on her chin. That's her mannerism if ever she have a stupid idea playing in her f*ckin head. "Eh kung sabihin ko na lang kaya kung sino ka talaga? Para wala nang mambully sayo at nang magkaroon ka ring ng mga kaibigan?" What! No f*ckin way!

"That's absurd! It would be better if I go back to California! I miss Lola and my friends there! You forced me to continue my studies here because of your father's foolishness!" I'm really mad. Everytime I remember why they forced me to continue studies here, I really wanna strangle that old man's neck.

"Tumigil ka nga. Ama mo rin yun kaya wag na wag mo siyang tawaging ganyan."

Napa 'tsk' na lang ako.

"Ayoko lang na mapagalitan na naman ako ni Dad kasi di kita napapunta dito. Kaya please lang Annie pumunta ka lang dito kahit ngayong araw lang. Sa susunod magpapalusot na lang ako." She said almost pleading.

I sighed. I don't want her to be scolded again. Ilang beses ko nang nakitang saktan siya ng napakagaling naming ama. He really treat his daughters like a puppet and well.

I'm different, I will never become his puppet that will follow whatever he said ng walang reklamo. Tapos na ako sa kabanatang 'yon ng buhay ko at ayaw ko nang balikan pa. I want to live my life to the fullest. Alam kong 'yon ang gusto niya.

"Annie?"

"Yeah?"

"I will help you to have a vacation in California. Basta pumunta ka lang ngayon at tutulungan kita." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Seryoso?

"Ah, shit!"

"Hahaha. Watch your mouth! I'm not kidding."

"Why didn't you tell me Ate!? Mang Dodoy left a while ago! Who will fetch me?!" I'm irritated yet excited at the same time.

"Tinawagan ko na siya kaya papunta na siya dyan. Ikaw ha? Yun lang pala ang pambobola ko sayo? Ganyan na lang ang gagawin ko palagi para mapasunod kita. Hahahaha."

"I'll kill you when I get there!" Then I hung up the phone and stand.

Hindi pa ako nakakalayo ay napatingin ako sa lalaking nakatayo sa harap ko. Tss si Mr. Perve na naman na mahilig sa public sex. I looked at him with my deathly glare. Hindi ko maintindihan ang sarili ko kung bakit mainit ang dugo ko sa kanya. Gusto ko siyang duruging ng pinung-pino eh.
