Wicked Her

Kabanata 37

I only have one ace that I need to earn and it's Nealle pero hindi pa sure kung alas ko nga sya.

Ugh!

Hindi ko na nagagamit ng maayos si mommy. But she's working on it by herself. Maybe she also hates Emily and her mother.

"Dito ka ba mananatili?" Tanong ni Nayding. Ngumuti si Mommy.

"What do you mean Nay?" Tumawa si mommy at tiningnan si Emily at Mama nya. Sumubo ako sa pagkain. Tahimik lang sila Chad at Nealle. "I can't stay here." Kumunot ang noo ko. "Binahay na ng daddy ni Ara ang erm." Natawa ako ng patago. Inirapan naman ako ni Emily. Nakitang kong nginitian ako ni Chad. Kinunutan lang ako ng noo ni Nealle, wala sa sariling nairapan ko rin sya. Bumalik ang tingin ko kay mommy. "Mags-stay nalang siguro ako sa kaibigan ko." Sumubo si mommy.

"S-sino?" Tanong ni daddy.

"Kay Lydia dela Vega." Nakangising saad ni mommy. Nanlaki ang mata ko at halos masamid.

"Seriously?!" Tanong ko.

Ngumisi si mommy.

"Wanna come with me?" Hindi ko alam kung mapapangiti ba ako o ano.

"She can't." My high hopea suddenly crush. "My daughter will stay here." Napayuko ako.

"Okay as you wish. I guess you can handle her." Saad ni mommy at  tumayo. "I'm done for lunch." Saad ni mommy. "I'll go ahead to dela Vega's state. Itatanong ko pa kung pwede akong magstay for a while."

"We can escort you ma'am." Seryosong saad ni Nealle kaya mabilis akong kinabahan. Napataas ng kilay si mommy.

"You are?"

"Im Nealle Dela Vega and this is my younger brother Chaden dela Vega." Tumayo si Nealle at inamba ang kamay na makikipag shake hands kay mommy. "We're Lydia's sons." Ngumiti si mommy and shake hands with Nealle and Chad. She's look amused and please.

"Are you done?" Tanong ni momny.

"Yeah." Nealle said. Tumingin sya kay daddy. "Thank you for the lunch sir, we have to go." Tango lang ang naisagot ni daddy. Tumayo na sila at naunang naglakad

"I'll see you tomorrow Ara." Mom said then kiss me on forehead. "Looking handsome there." Hindi ko napigilang matawa ng kindatan ni mommy si daddy.

My mom is also cool.

I saw my dad's face turns red.

"The nerve." Napairap ako ng marinig ang boses ng mama ni Emily.

"She's the queen of this house." I said with so much authority. Napabaling ang atensyon nila sa akin at tumaas ang kilay. This is my ace. "If you mind pwede na kayong umalis--"

"Ara!"

"What dad?" Agap ko.

"They need our help. They're need home--"

"Then they can work here! Hindi yung kung umasta sila ay parang sila ang may ari ng bahay na ito--"

"You're too much!" Sigaw ni Bryan kaya napatigil ako.

Tumayo ako.

"You don't care! You're out of the picture Bryan!" Binaba ko ang kamay ko sa mesa at tinitigan sila.

"All you can see, touch, and feel here are mine!" Sigaw ko kay Emily, parang bulkamg sumabog. "My dad may also be your dad but im the real daughter." Tiningnan ko sya mula ulo hanggang paa at binaling ang tingin sa mama nya. "Hindi pa nga sigurado kung si daddy talaga ang papa mo e--"

Im right. What I hear from the maids years ago were true. Her mother is a dirty woman and not sure if my dad is Emily's father.

"Arabella! You should stop now!" Sigaw ni daddy, I just look at him. "Where did you get your attitude? You're infront of the food!" Hinilot ni daddy ang noo nya. "Go to my office now!"
