Not His Type

Chapter 15

"Zues, isn't your house quite small for the two of you?" Ms. Camilla Evardome said while looking around the house. She's standing beside Mr. David Evardome.

Nakita ko na silang dalawa noon sa reception ng kasal nila Karina but I wasn't able to talk to them dahil na rin sa sobrang busy nilang makipag-usap sa mga bisita. But I'm sure kilala nila ako, I was the girl who wore a red dress in an all white party afterall. Not just that, I was the girl who punched their dear son in front of hundreds of people. Good going, Kash.

Anyway, let's focus on what she just said. Maliit pa ang mansion na ito para kay Karina at Zues? Are you kidding me? This mansion has 8 freakin bedrooms! An indoor and outdoor pool, a tennis court, a basketball court, and a function room. Ewan ko nalang kung saan banda dun ang maliit.

"Honey, let him." Pagkakalma ng matandang Evardome sa kanyang asawa. Mr. David is a calm person. I didn't expect him to be this warm. Ms. Camilla is obviously the one controlling their relationship. Pero mukha namang balanse ang buhay nilang magasawa.

"You." Camilla said then she pointed at me. "Come with me."

Mukha naman wala akong choice kundi pumayag dahil tinitignan na ako ng masama ni Karina. I know she's trying to tell me na sumama nalang kay Camilla and try to control my attitude. Alam niya ang tendency ko sa mga ganitong bagay. I am a short-tempered person, especially if you give me a wrong impression.

Camilla and I silently went to the mansion's garden. She looked around and seemed to enjoy looking at the flowers. She blended so well in the garden. Sa ganda niya, she looked like a fairy.

"So I've heard that Zade's courting you?" She started the conversation.

"If you call that courting." I sarcastically answered, which I regretted right away cause hello, I just lowkey insulted her son.

She looked at me and smiled. She's different from how she greeted me earlier. Kanina para bang she's judging me pero ngayon, she feels warm and welcoming. "To be honest, I don't want you for my son. You know, why?"

Napalunok ako. I was used to hearing people telling me what they don't like about me. It doesn't bother me anymore. It doesn't even affect me. Pero bakit nung nanggaling sa kanya, I can't help but feel restless. I can't help but feel defenseless, vulnerable even.

"Simply because you're Karina's sister. I'm not confident in a relationship like that. Its suffocating, don't you think?"

"Actually." I agreed after absorbing the fact na yun lang ang dahilan niya.

I felt relieved that it wasn't because there was something missing in me. Akala ko naman I wasn't pretty enough o kaya naman hindi ako kilala but it turned out that its only just because of my relationship with Karina. She's right, it really is suffocating. Para bang napilitan lang kaming magkagusto sa isa't isa. Its not a good set-up. Magmumukhang hindi kami open for others.

"That's why I'm asking you to torture Zade. Let him pursue you, because in that way, he'll know a person's worth. And maybe, not take your relationship for granted" She said. I didn't expect her to be like this. Fine, akala ko she's just a typical bitchy mom but no, she's very open-minded. Ang gusto niya lang ang kaligayahan ng anak niya and at the same time, her sons' good relationship with the people around them. Well, she did accept Karina as her daughter in law even though she didn't come from a well known family.

We went back to the party and Camilla went back to being the spoiled wife that she is to her husband. The night ended and of course we had to go home to our own houses. Camilla and David stayed for the night at Karina's house. Kami hindi na kasi may kanya kanya kaming lakad tomorrow.
