My Wicked Clumsy Girl

Nicolie

I am scared hindi na familiar sa akin ang mga tao sa paligid ko, parang nasa tambakan ako ng kung anu-anu hindi ko din naiintindihan kung anu man ang pinag-uusapan ng yaya ko at mga lalaki na kasama nya.

"yaya" tawag ko but she just look at me gusto ko nang cookies at warm milk nagugutom ako at hindi ko alam bakit hindi ko kasama si kambal "my tummy hurts" sambit ko pero hindi nya ako pinapansin she is busy sa lalaking kausap nya parang nag-aaway sila I barely understand why until he slapped my yaya...tumakbo ako to help her pero my isang lalaki ang humablot sa likod "bulinggit dito ka lang" ni hindi ko alam kung anung ibigsabihin nya nakita ko na umiyak ang yaya ko kaya wala din ako nagawa kundi umiyak bukod sa masakit ang tummy ko sa gutom hanggang napagod ako at nakatulog sa sulok kung saan ako nilagay ng isang lalaki.

nagising na lang ako sa inggay at sa mahigpit na yakap ng magulang ko and both of them is crying and saying sorry to me for what? I don't know but all I can say that time is "give me cookies mom and mama" and they both shower with me kisses and we went home as if i just came on a special trip...but that change everything.

"Nico!" naririnig kong tawag ng Mommy Danny and by the tone of her voice alam ko masesermunan na naman ako and I know why...

"what on earth is the meaning of these?" galit na binagsak nya ang isang magazine sa table na ang cover ay ako wearing at cute shirt saying "too hot for heaven and too cool for hell" and oh man she looked very angry....ok I must admit,I am a bit scared, I've never seen her like this.

"Mommy it is just a magazine with my face—-"

"you just don't get our point young girl!" putol nya sa akin " alam mo na ayaw na ayaw ko naeexpose kayo sa media right?"

"wala naman yung name ko mom—"

"kahit na it is still you, so that' the reason why you cut your hair? anyway I already pulled out all the copy of that crappy magazine" putol nya sa akin "next time you do that you'll be grounded"

"mom..." I get tired already "I am always grounded" naupo ako pakiramdam ko naubusan ako ng lakas hindi ko makuhang magalit o magtampo because deep down i knew that she just want me safe pero nakakasawa na,pakiramdam ko it is a curse being Adriano why can't I just be me...and be with the person you love? singit ng maliit na boses ng puso ko.

umupo sya sa tabi ko at niyakap ako "i am sorry siguro pag nag-asawa na kayo ng kapatid mo mapapanatag ako atleast somebody will care aside sa amin ng mama mo..." she sigh and that melts my heart away...I hugged her tight "sometimes I wish I am not---" Adriano gusto ko idugtong but i know it will just hurt her "always grounded" yun na lang sinabi ko para lang di ko sya masaktan, both of my parents loved us in a way that no one can imagine pero nakakatakot lang since galing kami sa angkan ng mayayaman,we used to be free and un-guarded pero tragedy brought us misery that leads to us to become very private.

She smiled and kiss my forehead "baby you know that I am doing everything I can to protect and Rhudard right?"

"yeah" then i nod

"how about you invite your girlfriend here for dinner?" masayang tugon nya and with her excited looks I don't think I can say no to her anyway I will just drag Manila here sa house and piece of cake.

"you liked her" simpleng comment ko

"well she looks like a decent girl coming from a decent family"

"Khea is de----"

"so it's settled we will all have dinner here at home exactly 9pm tonight" she cut me off then hugged me one last time bago ako hinalikan sa noo at nagmamadaling umalis.

Ilang minuto nang wala ang mommy Danny pero naiwan akong nag-iisip to be honest hindi ko pa nakikita ulit si Manila maybe 1 week already anyway I am busy with the love of my life Khea yes you heard me right  I am inlove with her,and I am going to do whatever it takes maka-sama ko lang sya at maging malaya. It could have been easy kung hindi lang sa nature ng work ni Khea at family background I think mommy Dee will have different reaction towards her,I sigh deeply I haven't seen her since she left for New Zealand,my shooting sila dun and that is also the night....I shrug the thoughts out of my head,masyadong maaga para inisin ko ang sarili ko but eventually magiging maayos kami that's for sure because that's has been like this for the both of us we fight...we argue...but we adore each other.

"Good Evening" bati ko kay Ila pagpasok nya ng unit gusto ko matawa sa reaction nya na parang gusto na nya tumalon at tumakbo sa takot,anu ako multo ako na nakaupo sa mini sala nya?

"what the—-??" hawak ang dibdib nya at halos hinihingal sa takot "gusto mo ba ako patayin sa takot? how'd you even get in here?" nakataas ang kilay nya, I find her funny gusto ko tumawa lalo na bahagya sya namutla,Ila is a cute girl but totally not my type...23 na sya but still she look like 16 ahahaha I can't help but giggle a little bit "so natatawa ka pa?" inis na binaba nya ang bag nya sa sofa at kumuha ng tubig na mini kitchen nya,lahat naman kasi sa unit nya mini since single attached room lang ito malaki pa yata c.r. ng house namin dito.

"bakit kasi ang liit ng unit na kinuha mo dito?" walang pasintabi na tanong ko and her expression turn into this funny scene na hindi ko na pagilan but burst into laughter,parang sa movie na oa ang reaction ng mga bida,oh my pwede ko sya irecommend sa mga talent scout.

"bakit ba tawa ka ng tawa gusto mo ba mag-asawa?" inis na umupo sya sa tabi ko "at panu ka nakapasok sa unit ko?"

"well never hide your spare key sa ilalim ng doormat mo" then I seriously looked at her "get dress we will go sa bahay gusto ni mommy mag-dinner ka dun"

again halos mag-pop-out yung mata nya sa narinig sabay kumunot ang noo nya "anung trip mo?"

"girlfriend kita remember?"

again her funny expression

"since when?at tsaka——"

"ok mabibihis ka o ako magbibihis sayo?" nag-eenjoy ako asarin sya and sa totoo lang kailangan ko sya para sa mga plano ko...soon I will explain to her everything pero hindi sa ngayon "i am giving you 15minutes to get ready alam mo naman ang family ko ayaw naghihintay right?" nagsukatan kami ng tingin hindi ako natatalo...nobody can resist me...I got my charm sa mama Apple ko...

"what is it for me?" tanong nya bigla sa akin

" I don't know" pa-cool na sagot ko "a piece of everything of being with me?"

her turn to laugh which facinate me cute sya pag-galit pero mas-cute pala sya pag tumatawa in the natawanan kami pareho for no reason at all.

"just get dress please...that's all I asked" nakangiting sabi ko

tumayo sya and she sigh "okay...because you already say please" she walks towards her room habang naiwan ako sa sala at nakangiting sinundan sya ng tingin...
