Accidentally Married a Billionaire (LOB series #5)

Chapter 16

Hi! @itsmetinny :)

Chapter 16

All eyes inside the room diverted to the three girls who just entered the party. Halos nagsusumigaw ang presensya nila sa loob ng hall na hindi mo mapipigilang mapatingin. Lumapit sila sa lamesa nila Trei. I saw how one of them approached Trei and smiled at him while Trei's face was passive.

"Yun ba si Bianca?" I asked them while not prying my eyes away from Trei and the girl.

"Nah girl, that's Vera. The girl in silver at her back, that's Bianca." I saw how Vera pointed at Bianca while having a proud look on her face. Si Bianca naman na nasa likod niya nanatili lang na seryoso ang mukha.

"What do you think she's saying to Trei?" Mercy asked. Chinna snorted.

"Ano pa? Edi pinapabango yang pokpok niyang kaibigan." The three of them giggled. Napailing nalang ako.

"That's a bit harsh." Chinna smiled and looked at me.

"Trust me Judea, their tongues are sharper than mine." Bumalik ang tingin ko kay Trei. I saw him sigh and turned his back on the girls to completely ignore them. Mukhang medyo badtrip din si Trei. Tatayo na sana ako upang lapitan siya at tanungin kung okay lang siya pero agad akong hinawakan sa kamay ni Lara.

"Don't go there. You don't want yourself getting involve." Nakipagtitigan ako sa kanya ng ilang segundo. Hindi ba niya na isip na asawa ako ni Trei? When I married him, I already involved myself in whatever shit he's in. Bumuntong hinga siya at binitawan ako. "If you want to go then go, but why do you think Trei isn't even looking this way? It's because he doesn't want you there."

Bumalik ang mga mata ko sa lamesa ni Trei. Ten seconds lang, kapag lumingon siya lalapit ako pero kapag hindi siya tumingin sa direksyon ko uupo ako ulit. I waited and count myself to ten. Nang hindi siya kahit sumulyap manlang, bumalik na ako sa upuan ko at tahimik na uminom ng tubig.

"They're coming this way." Chinna said in a singsong voice bago sila nagsi-iwas ng tingin. Before I could even ask I felt the group of women stand beside our table.

"How's life with the slums, old friend?" Chinna raised her head and gave Vera a sarcastic smile.

"I don't know Vera, ikaw? Kumusta maging asal kalye?" Vera's jaw tightened as she heard Chinna but then gave out a sarcastic laugh.

"Hindi ka pa rin nagbabago. Mas pinili mo talaga ang mga squatter na to kesa sa amin?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Vera. There's a tension between them but my eyes are fixed on Bianca who's busy with her phone. I felt Vera's eyes looking at us one by one until it landed on me. "You have a new recruit? Saang squatter ka galing?"

"What?" I asked, confused. Tama nga si Chinna mas matalas nga ang dila ng mga to kaya sige, accept ko na yung description nilang pokpok. Total mukha naman talaga. She smirked.

"You must be a girl or wife of someone rich here, hmm." She looked around before it went back to me. Napansin ko na din ang pag angat ng tingin si Bianca at nagta ang mga mata namin. "Ang tanong... sinong nauto mo?"

"It's none of your business Vera. Go back to hell, kung saan ka nanggaling." Inis na sabi ni Chinna habang tahimik lang sina Mercy at Lara sa gilid. Vera just laughed and shook her head.

"Whatever Chinna." Tumingin siya sa mga babae sa likod niya. "Tara na, nag aaksaya tayo ng panahon dito."

The four of them walked away from the table at doon ko lang napansin na hindi na ang bigat ng dibdib ko. Saka ko lang din napakawalan ang malalim na hininga na hindi ko namalayan. Tahimik na nagkatinginan kaming apat bago kami natawa. Napapunas pa ako ng luha sa kakatawa.
