18.Personal Problems

Erzaleigh's POV

I went to the mini bar with Zarniah,Dumzell and Zion.

Things are getting complicated.

"You can do it,Erza. Believe me" Zarniah tried to cheer me up but I can't smile.

Someone entered the mini bar and sat beside me.

"One bottle of Whiskey" Lax said and the bar tender took one glass and a bottle of Whiskey.

I didn't stop him dahil kapag napainom pa ako nito,I'll be in big trouble again.

"What happend dude?" Dumzell asked Lax.

"He told me to stop this game" he answered and drink a shot.

"Let's not talk about it,okay?"Zarniah said to both of them.

"What about talking about something else? Like families? Let's start with Erzaleigh." Dumzell suggested and both Zarniah's and Zion's arms are on my shoulder and hand.

"It's okay,they don't know anyway" sagot ko sa dalawa. I know that they're just worried that I may end up crying.

"My family is a big treasure for me ever since I'm still a kid. We used to be one in every bonding we make. A dad,a mom,and a daughter. But--"

I wasn't able to finish myself from explaining dahil hinigpitan pa ng magkapatid ang hawak nila sakin.

I just smiled at them and continued.

"But my father left us and work abroad as a business man. I'm not aware about what company he's in right now. Sorry." I even laughed and Dumzell is really listening to what I am saying and Lax is continuing his shots but I know he's listening.

"5 years ago when I was in Grade 6 back then,my Mom became very cold to me and I can't help it but ask her. She said that she'll continue working in their family company named BEC. It's my grandfather's and she needs my Mom to cooperate. Sa 5 years na yun,ni isang beses hindi man lang kami dinalaw ni Dad. Syempre ako,as a kid magtataka ako. Why Mom needs to work if Dad is working na naman."sabi ko at ngumiti.

"When I graduated from grade school,gusto ko ng malaman ang totoo. Then my mom showed me some pictures and cried in front of me for the very first time. Matagal na pala,it was a very long time picture. My Dad has a love affair with another woman. My mom tried to contact my Dad a lot of times but my Dad chose that woman because they'll be having a baby. Probably,that kid is already 5 years old right now or 6,so yeah. I tried to be strong and hold on" I said and try not to cry.

I don't want to talk about it anymore.

"I'll be the next" Lax volunteered.

"My family is very rich and what we want,we can get it in no time. My life is seriously melancholic even if this life is perfect. Alucard is the only friend I have in my neighborhood. Not even a single kid wants me. They used to call me 'mayabang,feeling mayaman,epal' and shits. But Alucard is the only one whom I became friends with until now,his dog wants me than him. I can't blame a dog of course. Then,dun na siya nagsimulang mainggit sakin. He wants to have what I have. He's not contented if he wasn't bought by a toy car I have. Until we turned grade 8,we met a girl named Rhian."sabi niya at nagshot.

Seriously,hindi ba siya malalasing niyan?

He'll be drunk for sure. I listen to him and didn't bother what I am thinking.

"Just like in Erzaleigh's position,ginawa narin ni Alucard ito dati. Rhian was our first love. But I chose to leave Rhian alone just for him,para sa kanya mapunta si Rhian. Rhian fell for me,not for Alucard and that hurts a lot for him,I know. But believe me,I did my best. Kahit na masama na akong tao ngayon, an asshole,bitch,player and bad enough,I still have a heart"sabi niya at tumingin sa baba.
