The Artist's Vixen

30

Pinilit ko ang sarili kong kumalma sa sitwasyon. Kuen's date is Xenon. Si Xenon ang kaarrange marriage ni Kuen, explains why he's not contacting me or even explaining to me where he is.

I didn't search far and wide because I had my trust planted on his heart. I trusted him so much that here I am, enduring some kind of shitty pain again.

Nawala ang antok at pagod ko. Instead, it was changed into something furious and mad. I want to break walls just to get there. Gusto kong sapakin si Xenon! I want to bite him everywhere, every skin he has, I want to bite him!

Galit na galit na ako!

Sa sobrang galit ko ay hindi ko na namalayan na pababa ako ng sala para puntahan si Kuen. I dressed up to snatch that guy from his romantic date with my bestfriend!

Nadaanan ko pa si Mama at halata sa mukha niya ang gulat.

"Where are you going Veena? Gabi na." Paalala niya.

"Ma, I- Uh...Magkikita po kami ni Kuen ngayon." I answered though it was a lie at least, magkikita naman talaga kami ni Kuen.

Nagpamewang si Mama. Confused, she asked who's Kuen.

"Bestfriend ko po noong High School. Nagyayang magkita dahil ngayon lang ang out niya sa trabaho." Oh lies.

Mama's face softened. "Okay. Basta huwag kang magpaaga. You can take the car, just drive safely." Paalala niya.

Napatango ako. As soon as I got the keys, umalis na ako. But opposite of what Mama said, pinaharurot ko ang sasakyan papunta sa restaurant na pinagkakainan nina Xenon at Kuen.

Nabasa ko pa sa text na hindi inakala ni Kuen na si Xenon daw ang kablind date niya. She seemed delightful, aba.

Sudden urge to kill someone is inside my system.

Nakarating ako sa restaurant na sinabi ni Kuen. Syempre hindi ako nagpahalata na pupunta ako. I kept my texts, unnoticeable na dadating ako.

Pagpasok ko sa restaurant ay hinahanda ko na ang linya na ibabato ko. Kung dati ay tahimik lang ako, ngayon ay gusto kong isabog lahat kay Xenon!

Bestfriend ko pa talaga ang titirahin niya.

I searched for them but the restaurant was already closing. I sighed in frustration. Ang bilis naman nilang magdinner!

Nag-aayos na ang staff ng restaurant at napatingin sila sa akin. "I-I'm sorry. I thought you're still open." Papalabas na ako ng biglang may humigit sa akin at nilagyan ako ng puti tela sa ulo. "W-Wait!" Napatingin ako sa platform sa gitna ng stage.

The curtain opened and Xenon emerged from the inside.

"H-Huh?"

"Hi." He waved at me as his voice echoed.

Confused as I am, I remained silent. Nagulat ako ng biglang may tumabi sa akin. It was Kuen.

"Kuen?"

Kinindatan niya ako na parang wala silang pinagsaluhang hapunan ng boyfriend ko at ama ng anak ko!

Remain calm, Veena.

"What's going on?!" I whispered to her.

"You're getting married." Simple niyang sabi.

"WHAT?!" Talagang nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. One minute I was fuming mad because of them and now she's telling me that I am getting married?! Ano yun?
