To Tame the Heart

Page 29

The sun kissed my skin that makes me woke up. My bed is tempting me to go back from sleep. The curtains are dancing everytime the electric fan's facing it's direction. It was indeed idle morning for me. 

I am getting used of how my daily routine goes everyday as time passed by. Work and stay at home. Caleb is seriously warned me to stop my night life. He's really obssessed to turn me into Maria Clara likes.  I can still remembered when he scolded me last time because of my workmates inviting me for a drink. Of course I agreed eagerly! Who wouldn't be? We deserve that!

He stayed for an hours in our house to be sure that I wouldn't go. He even threathen me from something I wouldn't beg for.

And now I'm struggling about this invitation I was holding. He gave me this to attend their big event in Demetrious tower for the 125th foundation of the said building. He was asking me to be his partner since I'm the only one girl he wants to be with, according to what he said. This said event will happen two weeks from now. So I still have time to think if I will go or just let him have someone to accompany him. But I think he will extremely disagree about the latter.

"Keep your smile ladies!" Bulalas ni Ma'am Lucy habang pumapalakpak na parang sa ginawa niyang 'yon ay mapapawi ang pagod namin.

Napangiwi ang ilan sa amin. Dahil ayokong mapagalitan ay ginawa ko agad, pilit man ay atleast nagawa ko parin hindi ba?

Dahil sa dami ng inaasikaso ni Caleb para sa nalalapit na foundation nila ay sadyang nagpasya akong pilitin siyang wag na akong ihatid sundo nito. Ayoko rin na kumuha siya ng tao para ihatid sundo ako. Tila walang humpay ang pagdaloy ng iba't-ibang anggulo ng mukha ni Caleb sa utak ko. Kunsabagay ano paba ang aasahan ko?

"Muli na naman tayong pinagtagpo ng tadhana Miss Santos." Pormal na bati sa akin ni Agatha.

Hindi ko alam kung sinusundan ako ng babaeng to o sadyang coincidence lang talaga ang nangyare.

"Then the fate is really cruel." I acted real damn affective by what the destiny did.

"I don't think that's the appropriate words." She smirked at me so I just arched my brows. Kilay is life bitch.

"Cut the crap.. Hmm what's your name again?" Pretending I don't remember her. A sweetest lie I have ever done in my whole fucking existence.

"I can't believe this! Oh! What we here? A pretencious bitch?" She bluntly replied. What a witty comeback from the stupid bitch I have ever encountered.

"O my. I'm sorry for my loss memory. I usually forget people who're not attractive or maybe not just enough to catch my attention." Sagot ko at nagtuloy tuloy na sa paglalakad papuntang sakayan pauwi sa amin.

"You're a quite brave for a little poor gold digging bitch." She curses more and more and being the kind girl here. I neglect to noticed her. Brilliant.

But I know deep inside me is hurting. Who says I'm after his money? Just because he's filthy rich and I'm just a nobody? Just because he's popular and attractive as hell? While I'm a commoner and nothing but a nobody bitch who's inlove with the almost perfect guy? Why society think this way?

Nasasaktan ako. Kahit na gaano ko pa kapalan ang pader na nilagay ko para hindi na ako maging kagaya ng datii na isang mahinang babae. Tama pa ba 'to? Alam ko na kapag pumunta ako sa Demetrious Tower ay maraming tao ang titingnan ako na bakas ang panglalait sa kanilang mata? Kahit siguro isuot ko ang pinakamagandang dress ay isa parin akong mahirap na babae sa paningin nila. Isa akong babae na naghahanap ng papatungan para makarating sa taas kung saan sila nakatayo. Bakit ganoon? Hindi palang ako nagpapakilala ay nahusgahan na ako.
