Chapter 37: Blackmail
Alexis POV
[Look, its my parent's anniversary. Please. I want you to be there. We've been together for months honey and I don't know kung hanggang kelan kayang ni kulit yung bibig niya. I want to be the one to introduce you to them.]
Umuwi ang parents nina Matt celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Actually, last week pa ako kinukulit nina Matt at Margaux pero ayoko sanang umattend. I'm not yet prepared to meet them, tsaka ayoko na sanang madagdagan yung mga taong pinagsisinungalingan ko. Besides, I don't even know kung ano ang magiging reaction nila sakin. Anyway, I'm just a nobody. Anu nga bang alam nila? Anu ba ang pwede kong sabihin sa kanila? Na scholar ako sa MU pero licensed nurse ako? Na namumuhay ako ng mag-isa pero may sarili akong sasakyan at nakatira sa condo? Di ba napaka inconsistent?!! I really don't know what I should do!
[Honey? You there?]
"Ahh.. yup. Anu.. Matt, pag-usapan na lang natin to mamaya, pinapatawag na kasi ako ng OB. Ok?"
[Okie. Please, indulge me on this honey. I love you.]
"I-I love you more babe.."
Nasa OB ako ngayon for my 2nd shot, syempre, hindi ko pwedeng makalimutan to, top priority nga eh. Syempre, yun ang isa sa pinaka-iiwasan ko, ang magbuntis. Matt maybe well-off pero hindi parin kami stable, pareho kaming umaasa , siya sa parents niya, ako, sa Dad ko. Kahit pa sabihing kaya kong mamuhay ng mag-isa, nakapangako parin ako kay Don Gerardo and I didn't have any intention na baliin yun. And since pumayag akong may mangyari samin ni Matt, hindi ako naïve para hindi malamang mauulit at mauulit yun. This is just being responsible.
After visiting the OB, umuwi na ako sa condo ko, sakto namang nag-ring ang phone ko.
Sis calling...
"Hello?"
[Sis, where you at? Bar tayo tonight.] -_- Tss. Kilala ko si Chantal, madalas magyaya ito kapag super stressed out sa work or broken hearted siya, which is always.
Haist. So, nagbreak nanaman sila ng latest boyfriend niya.. Well, I think they've been together for... 3 weeks? Matagal na din yun! Well, Chantal is not a playgirl, she's just , misunderstood. She's known as a shrewd businesswoman pero whenever she's out of her office, people see her as if she's the woman of the world. We both know, she have that reputation, the media likes to bash her always, pero si Chantal ang tipo ng tao na walang pakialam. As long as she's good in whatever she does, she doesn't care at all. Madalas kaming magkasama pag napapasabak siya sa gulo pero bilang hindi ako kilalang tao, I never made it to the paper, and I'm thankful for that.
" Uhmm.. Hindi ako sure.."
[I'm not taking no for an answer Alexis Serrano, you still owe me a lot. I've been abroad for not more than three months tapos malalaman ko na lang na may lovelife ka na.. at until now may lovelife ka parin, samantalang ako... arghh! Damn it! I should've known! He's a freaking liar!!..]
Hay sanay na ako dito. For sure, eto din ang maririnig ko mamaya, at hindi rin lang ako tatantanan nito. So might as well...
"Sis, ok na. Let's just talk later. I still have something to arrange..!" Nagulat ako dahil may naramdaman akong yumakap sakin.
"Sino yan?" Tanong ni Matt.
[Oh! Of course! Your lover boy is there already!.. Haist. Sige na. Just so you know, I'm green with envy!] Then she hung up. Hay naku. Tonight's going to be a long night.
"Hey. How's your visit to the OB? Haist. Sa susunod, I'm going to come with you. Hindi ko pa nga nakikilala yang OB mo." Hay naku. Eto nanaman kami, lagi niyang ini-insist na sumama sakin sa OB. Nakakahiya kaya, tsaka hindi naman kami mag-asawa. Well, hindi pa. Ayiee. Kilig naman ako. Haha.
