Vander Series: BEEN IGNORED

Chapter 10

Arriane's POV

Im here at the public market to buy some ingredients. I want to cook cordon bleu that's why im here at mas mura dito para narin makabawi ako sa ginawa ko kahapon.

"How much is this po?"I ask the vendor while me busy sa pagpili ng chicken

"Wampipti lang ang kilo niyan ija"she replied kaya naman tiningnan ko siya then i smiled.

"4 kilos of this raw chicken fillet po"lumaki naman ang ngiti ni manang sa sinabi ko kaya ganun din ako.

"Heto ang sukli mo ija. Maraming salamat"kinuha ko na yung sukli at lumipat sa ibang tindahan para bumili ng iba pang ingredients

"3 boxes of eden cheese and 1 pack of virginia hotdog and 1 dozen of eggs and 1 piece of powdered pepper and salt and pakisali nalang din po yung dalawang bread crumbs"mahabang sabi ko dun kay ate na nagtitinda.

"Ang ganda niyo po ate"sabi niya sabay lagay ng mga binili ko sa supot. Kanina niya sinasabi yan.

"Magkano po lahat?"nakangiting tanong ko sa kanya.

"446 lang ate ganda"sabi niya sabay abot sakin nung supot.

Hala ang bigat. Inabot ko na yung bayad at umalis na. Lumabas nako ng palengke at pumasok sa kotse. Hinintay talaga ako ni Manong Ed.

"Manong you shouldn't have waited for me"i said as i comfy myself inside the car.

"Nako maam baka mapano kayo malagot pa tayo kay ser"i just smiled bitterly. As if he cares for me or even what will happened to me.

***

Mabilis kaming nakarating ni manong sa bahay dahil hindi naman masyadong traffic tsaka nagshortcut din kami.

"Manong where are you going?"i asked when he's about to open the gate.

"May inutos po kasi si ser maam eh"sabi niya kaya naman napatango nalang ako at pumasok na

5pm napala magluluto nako para saktong pagdating ni Von makakain na siya.

I stormed in the kitchen and on the camera and video myself immediately opened the refrigerator and "get the chicken and all of the other ingredients"

"Get the chopping board and the meat tenderizer and pound the chicken I bought one by one after you pound all of them put a pinch of salt and pepper above the chicken"i said while looking at the camera.

"Im cooking this for you Love hihi"i said while smiling

"You.set aside first the chicken and slice the cheese and cooked the ham and hotdogs. After that  beat the eggs and opened the bread crumbs and put it on a big plate and also the flour"i said while doing all of it.

"Now let's start!Haha im really crazy filming myself even if i know no one will watch except me"

I erased my negative thougths and start again.

"First put the cheese above the chicken next the hotdog the roll it and remember you should also prepare a toothpick. After you rolled the chicken tusukin mo ng toothpick every side of the chicken para hindi siya masira kapag niluluto mo na"

"Pagkatapos mong iroll lahat ng chicken, roll the chicken into the eggs, flour then breadcrumbs and do it so on and so forth"

***

"Grabe! Nakakapagod maglinis!haha so next punta na tayo sa pagpriprito!"

"First get a frying pan then put a 1/2 of cooking oil then on the gas stove hayaan mo muna ng 5 minutes yung mantika na nakasalang"

After 5 minutes

"Oh my gosh so nakasuot ako ngayon ng jacket and face mask in case the matamaan ako ng ligaw na bala ng mantika"

***

"Viola! and we're all done. time check 7pm na any minute dadating na ang lalaking dahilan kung bakit ako nagluto"

Nilagay ko yung camera sa sink na nakatapat sa table "di naman niya siguro makikita toh"

Umakyat nako sa taas kasi narinig ko na yung busina ng kotse niya at sinabihan ko si manong na siya nayung magbukas.

Pumasok nako sa kwarto ko ng marinig kong sinigaw niya yung pangalan ko. Ayoko kong sirain yung araw niya kaya kahit alam kong malalagot ako mamaya ang importante mas mapapansin niya yung ginawa ko kesa sakin. Kahit ngayon lang sana mabago ko yung tingin niya sakin at ibalik ang dating kami kahit alam kong napakaimposible dahil si Vanna lang dahil kung bakit pa niya ko kinakausap pero.

Di ko namalayan na tumutulo napala yung luha ko. "Strawberry i miss you. Mommy misses you so much"

Before i knew i am already lying in my bed asleep and hoping that tommorow will be a start of my chance to my husband.

Von's POV

When i reached home i let a loud honk from my car and the gate started to open but i was slightly surprised because manong who's the one opened it for me.

"Manong where's Arriane?"I asked as i get off from my car

"Nasa loob po si maam Ser"he replied. That woman is definitely giving me a hard time why did she let manong opened the gate when she's here? being a lazy wife huh?

"Arriane!?"i shouted all over the house but no one seems to heard me. Why do i smell something. I walked inside the kitchen and to my surprise. The table is well prepared and i also found a camera in the sink.

"What is this doing here?"i unconsciously asked to myself and it's recording. I ended the record and the video is 3 hours length. Is this a movie or what?

I looked at the table and to the camera. What is going on?

I went upstairs to Arriane's room and as i expected it's not locked but when i heard her voice

"Strawberry i miss you. Mommy and Daddy misses you so much"

And now she's sobbing so i didn't went inside thoroughly. What am i feeling?i know she didn't killed Vanna but still i hate her for letting Vanna suffer like that but this time i feel something weird.

Maybe im just tired i think i need some rest.
