How am I so into you? (RICCI RIVERO)

Chapter X:Our Launch

R I C C I
"I'm truly, deeply sorry. "

I barely double text. I only double text our family driver pag urat na urat na kami nila Kuya.

I sound needy. I sounded starving. Pero ipinagkibit balikat ko lang yun. I would rather be known for being a needy apologizing jerk than a jerk alone.

I was just lounging at the couch waiting for my Dad. Maggygym kasi kami dapat when he came furiously.

"Cci! Ano 'to? Ano 'to ha?" Galit na galit na pagpapakita ni Papa nung clips ng pag tingin ko kay Zaun. Oo, Zaun na talaga tawag ko sa kanya kahit di sya nagrereply.

Di pa rin ako nakakasagot kay Dad. Napalunok lang ako.

"Tama ba 'yan? Ha? Wala akong ginanyan kahit pa sino. Di ka nahihiya sa Mama mo? Mga pinsan mong babae? Kaibigan? Hindi kita pinalaking bastos, anak. Alam mo yan. " umuusok sa galit si Dad.

If there's one thing I would remember Dad for, that would be his lessons on how to treat women the right way. He abhors such disrespect. And I know how much trouble I'm in by now.

"Pa, sorry. Pero nagsorry na rin ako sa kanya, Pa. Aayusin ko nalang. " sagot kong parang nasusuka na sa guilt at takot.

"Siguraduhin mo lang, Cci. Nasan ba ang Mama mo? Alam nya na ba? Abi!!" Sabi nya at akmang paalis na.

Pero nagpahabol pa sya. "Di pa tayo tapos. Balitaan mo ako " at umalis na.

God, Ricci, what have you done?

Dinouble text mo na't lahat lahat. I can't handle another issue na naman. This is becoming too much.

Bigla akong nakarinig ng kaluskos sa game room. That was probably my siblings, chismoso. Parang mga babae. I can't help but roll my eyes at the door.

It's the last day of promotion and sa next day after tomorrow na ang launch. Wow. Just wow. Bigla akong nagaala suso na gustong magtago.

Saan ka kumuha ng kapal ng mukha ilabas to sa publiko? Mga imahinasyon mo. Gusto mo pang pagkakitaan, hay nako.

Last day na nang promotion at ngayon lang ako magpopost sa personal accounts ko about it. I'm finally faking to earn the guts to share it. The publications take care of the promotions kasi. I always reason out na I'm still not comfortable enough yet yo promote it on my own. Fortunately, they're buying it. Or else baka taga street lang namin ang pumunta. Di pa kasama parents ko kasi di ko pa sinasabi.
