Karthara Elinois'
My palms were soaked with sweat and my knees were shaking. God, help me I swear I'll be a better version of me for the nth time. I tried to relax my nerves as I felt someone's hand resting on my shoulders
"Chill ka lang Kart, you'll do great up there" Cattleya comforted me, my nerve racking behavior somehow eased for a moment, but as I heard my name I started to feel every palpitation of my heart and damn this feeling sucks.
"Go slay the crowd girl" Cat winked at me and I heaved heavily for the last time before getting my a*s on the stage
The crowd was even mortifying as the noise I was hearing faded quickly. They might have think I don't deserve this kind of honor that I will forever hold as my dignity but fck it, I don't care.
"As I wondered the halls of St. Pierre University I recall all the names I was called before, whore, slut, b*itch, and more harsh words one can call me. Does the thought of me, being called Summa Cum Laude hurt your ego? I hope not, because it is the only name I have ever wished for. Not everyone in this room sees the potential I have by just scanning me from where I was standing. The first thing I thought of when I stepped into this school was to free who I have caged for so long, me. Little did I know that instead of having people around me judge me not base on my circumstances, I was always wronged. It was only those numbers and answers on the sheets I worked hard for who rescued me. I suffered, but none of you knew. What I had in this school was pure hell with a opening gate which has something plastered saying 'Heaven for those who haven't seen hell' but thank God I have found the exit, right from where I entered. The cloud 9 I was expecting wasn't on the front line but it turned out to be the trickiest signage of my four years. To those people who constantly remind me of how I would fall, well look at me now. Right in front of your very eyes, proud and a live after all the shts I've been through...."
My speech ended and so did the ceremony, we started to throw our caps and forget the craps we've put up to. Here we are. We managed to survive, now I only have to work at my Grandparent's company and that'll hitch the next chapter of my life.
"There's our girl who has the greatest honor" May Mom proudly said as I walk myself to their direction
"Let's take a picture of you two" Tita Lucy said as Cattleya, my best friend made her way to where we were.
"These girls really know how to repay their parents right Hon?" Tito Andrew said while being lovey-dovey with Tita Lucy, cat's parents
"Look at our Summa and Magna girls" Mom said containing her joy as Dad's arm gripped her shoulders
"Grabe this is so Bff goals" Cat said with enthusiasm and I answered her with my laughter. We posed at the camera and like its flash the days went by with us being separated for a while.
Cat's family sure did took their time in Prague while I was bound in my apartment with one of my boys. He was playing video games while I was laying naked on my bed while he was sitting on the edge, I extended my legs as I wrapped them on his waist and grabbed the game console next to him
"Where to after this?" Hue asked while slightly turning his head to steal a kiss from me but I didn't give him a chance when I quickly change my position. I stood up as I picked my undergarments on the floor
Dumeretso ako sa CR para magbihis at paglabas ko he was already smoking.
"Hue I thought you already quit smoking?" I was while I irritably fanned the smoke away. He knows I hate men who smokes but here he is, nakakatrigger din minsan 'to.
"Yep, but come on we're graduates and we're free from all the rules. You know you're the only breath of fresh air I have baby" he smirked while I rolled my eyes.
"Well then Mr. Hue, that tobacco product your holding is not a breath of fresh air to me" I said with a straight face as I shooed him out of my apartment "You're making my place stink arsehole"
"I'll guess that also means my place next time?" I shrugged at what he asked
"Just go and let me rest you d*ckhead" I slammed my apartment's door as my phone alarmed.
It's 4:30 PM and I need to go for a quick jog when my phone vibrated again
From: Hue
I'll be banging you on your route baby
I locked my phone at napailing nalang ako. God, he's 24/7 horny. I step out of my apartment and decided to take my dog for a walk
**
"Midnight!" tawag ko sa aso kong tinakbuhan ako.
"Ugh. That dog!" napaupo nalang ako sa gilid ng kalsada sa sobrang pagod.Kanina pa ako paikot-ikot para hanapin 'yung Siberian Husky ko. Regalo siya sakin nang Bó Bros two years ago. Which is noong 18th birthday ko.
Actually dalawang Siberian Husky ang regalo nila sakin. Tig-isa sila. Si Snow and si Midnight. Sa pangalan pa lang alam mo na kung anong itsura nila. Snow's fur is as white as snow while Midnight's fur is as black as midnight. Request ko na talaga sa kanila na aso nalang ang ibigay sakin.
Their love for me is enough to give me everything I wanted. And if you're asking kung nasaan si Snow, well, Snow died last month. She was hit by a car. I cried non-stop. Kaya grabe nalang ang galit ng magkapatid na Bó.
Hue Bó and Sue Bò.
Hue and Sue are twins. Identical in particular. But you can tell naman who is who. Hue have this bad boy image while Sue is the epitome of a perfect son.
Nahinto ang pagiisip ko nang makarinig ako ng kahol ng aso.
Finally! "Midnight!" tawag ko rito. Then I put on his leash and started walking.
Nang mapadaan kami sa isang tindahan ay tumigil muna ako. I need to refresh! "Ate pabili po. Isang coke sakto." sabi ko dun sa tindera habang iniikot sa palad ko ang tali ni Midnight.
Pagkabigay sakin ay nilapag ko muna ito dahil naramdaman ko ang pag vibrate ng Iphone 6 ko sa bulsa.
From: Hue
Baby, I'm outside your apartment.
My eyes widened at his message. Damn this guy.
Sa sobrang panic ko napatakbo ako paalis. "Midnight, come on!"
Nasa kalagitnaan na ako ng pagtakbo ng mapatigil ako. "Yung coke sakto ko!" I exclaimed while slapping my forehead.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako sa katangahan ko at naiinis na bumalik sa tindahan.
Kaso mas lalo akong nainis ng makita ko kung sino ang nandoon.The only man on this planet who was never pleased to see even a strand of my hair.
"RK!" galit na sigaw ko habang malalaki ang hakbang na tinungo ang kinaroroonan niya.
Agad kong inagaw sa kanya ang bagong bukas lang na coke sakto ko at saka ito ininom habang sobrang lapit sa kanya. Pagkaubos ko ay pinunasan ko lang ang labi ko saka ko binato sa mukha niya 'yung boteng ngayon ay wala ng laman.
"Uhm. Miss? Ito po 'yung coke sakto niyo. Naiwan niyo."
Oh God I'll be damned.
