My Cinderella

50

Explanations

"H-How could you?!" I yelled at him at napasabunot nalang ako sa ulo ko. All this time?! LAHAT SILA?! ARE THEY GETTING REVENGE ON ME?!

WALA NA PALA TALAGA AKO DITONG MAKAKAPAGTIWALAAN! KAHIT YATA SARILI KO HINDI NA...

"M-Man... I can explain—

"Alam mo din?"

"A-Ang alin?" Kabadong sagot n'ya. "Alam mo din ba na buhay si Cinderella? 11 years na pre... Baka alam mo?" Pasarkastiko kong saad. Bago pa s'ya sumagot may dinagdag ako "Magsinungaling ka pa wala ka na—

"Hindi ko alam. P-Pero kanina oo. Kanina lang... Maniwala ka..." Napahinga ako ng malalim. "S-Sinabi samin ng magulang n'ya... N-Nawawala kasi s'ya... Tatlong araw nang makalipas pagkatapos ng aksidente... Yun lang talaga pre... Maniwala ka."

"Alam mo na matagal na s'yang Buenaventura? "

Hindi s'ya kaagad sumagot kaya natawa na ko. "Sasagot ka o sasagot ka? Tangina ayoko nang makipag tarantaduhan sayo ha."

"Oo... Oo, alam ko... Matagal na..."

Natawa ako ulit "Sino si Alejandro?"

Tumagal s'yang hindi mag salita kaya napahinga ako ng malalim. "Sino? Yung taong matagal ko nang kasama! Yung tinuring kaibigan ko! Puta sino yon!" sigaw ko pero hindi padin s'ya sumasagot, puro pag hinga lang malalim naririnig ko.

"Si Alejandro at Cinderella ba ay iisa?"

Wala pading sagot kaya nabwisit na ko. "Sa susunod nga... Siguraduhin n'yo na pag mantatarantado kayo maayos sana tas hindi kaagad malalaman ng iba ano?" I ended the call and walk back at Cinderella.

"A-Are you okay?" She asked but I just gave her a nod and lie down. So all this time... Kaya pala nung unang pagkakakilala namin... Kompurtable ako kasi matagal na pala talaga kaming magkakilala?

Pero... Bakit? Bakit nag pretend s'ya na maging lalaki unang una pa lang? Anong meron? Matagal na ba s'yang may galit sakin?

"Hey." Tinapik n'ya ko at hinila n'ya ko paupo so umupo ako. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop... But the name you mentioned...  Alejandro Sandoval?"

"Hmm?" I hummed at napairap. Di ko mapigilan yung inis. "I think I know him."

"Really?" Napairap ulit ako "Yeah... I think it's me? I know its sounds ridiculous! Pero naalala ko lang! See this!!" I looked at her and she show me her ring and I smirk when she snapped the gem open at may nalaglag from that.

She picked it up at binalik sa ayos ang singsing, "I remembered how to use this! Isn't amazing?!" She grins at me then she place that thing on her face.

That's the mask that I have invented... Pinanuod ko lang s'ya at may parang kinalikot s'ya don that makes her face... Change... To Alejandro's...

"Nag iba ba itsura ko?" She asked and I nodded. "Now I don't know why I'm having this memory... But I think I used to be like a guy... Oh my gosh, have I ever had a relationship with a girl?!" She panicked and quickly removed that mask.

"Think yes... Depende sa pinaggagagawa mo? Pero ang alam ko meron." I smirk at lumapit sa kanya. "Tell me assassin, Can you remember me now?" I asked and she stares at me.

"W-Why are you calling me an assassin?"

"Why are you pretending to be a guy ever since hmm?" I asked again. "I asked—

"But I asked you first so I want you to answer it first before you could ask another one, assassin." I threatened so she narrow his eyes at me and hop down the car.
