Regrets 'Del-Montenico' series

Chapter 4-Regrets

Surprise!

"Pang, gabi na. Uuwi na po ako." sabi ko kay Papang.

"Wala kang dalang sasakyan, paano ka makakauwi niyan? Tatawagan ko nalang ang pinsan mo'ng si Floridelle ah." aakmang kunin na sana ni Papang ang kaniyang cellphone pero ipinahinto ko siya.

"Wag na po, makakaabala lang ako kay Delle, mag taxi nalang po ako."

"Huh? Gabi na kaya!"

"Sus, Papang oi! kaya ko na Po."

"Bahala ka ah, kung di ka makakauwi, patay talaga ako dun sa Mama mo."

"Di niya malalaman Po."

"Bakit?"

"Eh, di ako makakauwi tssk." sabi ko "Sige na po, labas na po ako."

pagkalabas ko, naglakad na naman ako patungo sa gate ng kanilang Villa hanggang makaabot ako sa highway.

nakasakay na ako ng taxi ng biglang tumonog ang phone ko.

'Where are you?' Jazel.

'taxi' sagot ko.

'Saan ka patungo?'

'Banyo. nagdinner na kayo? Hintayin niyo ko."

'Okay.'

natapos na ang convo.

pagkaabot ko sa bahay, ang dilim. Parang ang buong bahay ay napaka dilim.

nagpunta ako sa may dinning table dahil nandun ang mga switch.

pag pindot ko sa switch na directly sa dinning table...

"Surpriiiiiiisssee!!" they shouted really loud, and i can't help but slightly-jumped my ass out.

what the heck are they doing in here?!

"Hi." nasabi ko na lang.

And there they are, Ang mag pinsan na sina Shainna at Jonathan, yung dalawang kasama ko kanina na sina Coby at Claire at yung pamilya ko na naka upo sa mga upuan sa hapag.

tumayo si Shainna at si Jonathan patungo sa'kin tapos yinakap nila ako,

this is way too much! I don't really have to see them

"Oh gosh!! Reianne, you look so beautiful!" puri ni Shainna.

"No i'm not" sabi ko.

"Ang tangkad mo na." sabi ni Jonathan.

Bakit ba ang 'tangkad mo na' ang tanging masasabi niyo???!!!

tumawa lang ako.

"Oh siya Rein, kain na tayo parang gutom ka na talaga." Shainna.

nagpunta ako sa upuan at syempre mag aano pa ako? Kumuha ako ng kanin at ng ulam.

"So, tell me Reianne, may nakita ka na bang guy?" tanong ni Shainna with a mix of a wee kalaswaan

"Anne, di niya yan type." singit ni Kristine.

tumawa na lang si Shainna.

"Doctora Reianne Villarossas Jimene-----Ethaniel Del-Montenico, you're late!" naputol si Shainna sa kaniyang sinasabi kanina, tapos napatingin kami sa tao'ng nasambit niya ang pangalan na biglaan.

There he is, the man i once fell in love with. The man that is the reason for my sudden change, the man who once broke my heart and tear it apart, looking bright on his suit and tie.

"Niel!" sabi ni Claire tapos tumayo mula sa kinauupuan at nagpunta sa kay Del-Montenico.

"I'm sorry, na late ako. The traffic jam is really bad." tumingin muna ito sa'kin. "Oh, hey. kamusta?"

"Eto, Okay lang." may halong \boredom na pag sabi ko.

"I can see that." sabi ni Ethaniel na umupo. "Naging doctor ka na Reianne I always thought that you'd become a CPA." sabi nito na parang interested, while me? On the other side wanting him to shut up and focus on the food.

"Same, Niel. I thought na magiging CPA ka talaga Rein." Claire.

hindi ko na sila pinansin. Damn it! People! Walk the damn talk! Can we?

"So Doctora Jimenez, how's Cebu?" Shainna.

"It's great, i love being there." I said, casually.

"What is it like being a doctor?" May halong slightly galit na sabi ni Coby. I know why his mad. And its nothing to be proud of.

"It sure is a pretty busy job, like kailangan mo pang i-secure ang health ng patient, then you do the "rounds", and check your patient if they're still breathing." I said with a pinch of sarcasm.

"What do you think of the surprise?" Shainna

"Well, it's unexpected. I never thought id see you guys. Again. Thank you." Sabi ko. I tried to act as if i'm cool and not having screams inside my brain but the truth is that i'm laughing, im also dying.

"It's not me who you need to thank." Sabi ni Shainna.

Must be Claire.

"Who is it then?" Sabi ko.

"Your sister." Sabi ni Shainna.

Oh, great, now i have to thank my sister for such a wonderful surprise? I mean like, what the hell? Is there any surprise thats a little bit lamer than this? Cause if there is, id rather not be surprised at all.

"Oh, thank you. You dont really have to go all your way since its my sister's idea naman. Im truly sorry, kailangan pa nilang mag waste ng time niyo, i'm si sorry." Sabi ko. Why the fuck do i feel like crying right now and swear them in their faces like GOSH! I wanna slap them on their faces ONE BY ONE. Including my sisters. YES INCLUDING THEM.

"No, no it's okay. Its actually fine, gusto ka rin nami'ng makita, kasi you know, its been a 5 years di na tayo nag kita, and our communication's not fine naman." Sabi ni Shainna.

I am so close to not having a damn friend na.

"Isa pa't di ka nag sabi na aalis ka pala. Tapos bigla ka lang nawala."out of the blue, Jonathan made a word.

"What's the point?! Bakit kayo nandito? I mean, why? Bakit bigla bigla nalang kayo'ng darating na para bang kailangan ko ang presensya niyo?" Sabi ko at dabog na dabog ang pag tayo. Tumayo ako at sinpak ang La Mesa, "I've had enough of all you guys. Ive had enough of all your bullshits and all your fake ass cares and fake ass smiles, i dont have to see all of your faces, i came here for a damn vacation not to have my heart broken into hundred pieces! AGAIN!. I came here to have an escape of being such a busy person! I came here so i... So i..." namalayan ko nalang ang pag tulo ng luha sa aking mga mata, sa lahat naman ng pinagsasabi ko, ako lang ang nagka luha? I mean, i should've been a careless bitch who may seem to look like shes forgotten everything shes been through, but i'm not, and i can't. Of all the words that came into my mind, these words suits the best for my mouth. "Fuck you all." Yeah, it may seem a little unprofessional of a doctor to be swearing but, i just cant control my ass, sorry.

"Reianne!" galit na sigaw ni Mama.

"I'm sorry to ruin your night." hindi ko pinansin si Mama. tumalikod ako at tumakbo papunta sa kuwarto.

wala na akong pake kung ano ang nasa isip nila.

i just don't...

want to see the people who changed me, and made me who i am not.
