Courting Rancis Ong: The Seven Despicable Boys (bxb) (On going)

"A-Ako pa ba 'to?" tanong ko kay Karen, ang attended ko dito sa Venus Cove.

"Of course, who else would be?" she replied.

"I look... I look different," I said.

I was so stunned on what they did to me. Maganda naman na ako to begin with, pero hindi ko inaasahang may igaganda pa pala ako. To begin with, they bleached my hair and turned it platinum blonde. My eyebrows had also undergone some minor twitching such as microblading to make my brows appear fuller and thicker. They told me that they also did minor noninvasive procedures on my face such as lip injection to plump my lips, and botox on my forehead. My eyelashes was also improved because they did an eyelash extension on them.

"I look good," I muttered. "But I feel so violated!"

My voice filled the room startling Karen. She placed her hands against her chest then mouthed, "Jusmiyo."

"You do know that I can literally sue you, that bitch Loel, and this establishment," I glared at her. "You did all of this shit without my consent!"

"S-Sorry... b-but all I did was followed their instructions," she pleaded.

I rolled my eyeballs at her, "Get out of my face."

She nervously exits the room, however, I called her again before she could finally leave the area.

"B-Bakit po?" tanong niya.

I glared at her, "Please tell Loel that I need to talk to her. Now!"

Tumango naman sya sakin at saka nagmamadaling lumabas ng kwarto. Makalipas ang ilang minuto, pumasok bigla si Loel sa loob ng kwarto. Naka-busangot 'to sa'kin habang nag lalakad papalapit. Napansin ko ding mayroon siyang dalang mga paper bag na god knows kung mag kano ang laman ng mga 'yon.

"Girl, nakikita mo ba 'yong baliktarang letter 'c' na logo na 'yon? Mukhang luxury brand ang laman nun! Ehem... Chanel... Chanel... ehem," paramdam ng instinct ko.

"Nakakaloka! Baka ibibigay nya sayo 'yan pati na din 'yong isang paper bag na 'yon oh." Kuminang 'yong paper bag na may alligator na logo, "For sure Lacoste 'yan!" Dagdag pa ng intuition ko.

"Baby girl, alam kong nag e-exist lang ako para kontrahin ang ilang maling desisyon mo sa buhay. Pero, minsan lang dumadating ang ganitong pagkaka-taon kaya isa lang ang masasabi ko; grab lang ng grab!" sigaw ng konsensiya ko.

"Kainin mo 'ko! Kainin mo ako!" nagwawalang sigaw ng pride ko.

Shit! Bakit biglang tumitibok ng mabilis ang puso ko? Ganitong-ganito 'yong naramdaman ko noon nung mga panahong unang hinalikan ako ni Zac e. P-Pero bakit ganito? Kinikilig ako sa mga dala ni Loel! Bakit ganito! Ah!

"What?" she suddenly said, bursting my bubble.

"Ah," I rapidly diverted my attention from what she's carrying to her glaring eyes, "Ah?"

"Anong ah? Siraulo ka talaga," naiirita niyang sabi. "Ano ba 'sasabihin mo?"

"Hehe... (Puñeta baka mainis sa'kin 'to hindi pa ibigay 'yong luxury kemerut) wala naman. Para saan ba kasi 'tong mga ginawa niyo sa'kin?" tanong ko.

She smirked, "Soon... you will find out."

"Why can't I find it out now? Sabi mo soon malalaman ko 'din naman. Kaya bakit pinapatagal mo pa? Sabihin mo na ngayon! Dami mong alam," litanya ko.

"Tsk." She rolled her eyeballs, "Don't you read novels? This is how it's supposed to be. Wag kang atat. If this is a novel, and I spouted every details to you. Ano pang aabangan ng mga readers?"
