No Love, Just Hate

* W I N T E R *

It's almost a month but I can't still remember clearly what exactly happened that night. I want to go to that girl but I don't even know who she is. All I know is... her angelic face.

Wait, what?! Angelic face?! Damn Winter! Kilabutan ka nga!

Kinuha ko yung unan ko at binugbog iyon. Nakakainis! This is ridiculous! Why can't I remember a thing!? Usually naman pag lasing ako, nakakaalala pa ko but damn it! Hindi ko talaga maalala yung nangyare!

"Ah!" Napatigil ako bigla sa pagbugbog ng maalala ko kung saan ko sya unang nakita. Sa may basement ng company. I know that's her! The one that I helped! 

"WINTER LEIGH RICHARDS!!!" Halos mahulog ak osa pagkakaupo sa kama dahil sa sigaw ni Lola. This old woman!!!

"WHAT?!"

"ABAT SINASIGAWAN MO NA KO NGAYON HA!?" Lumapit sya sakin at pinagpapalo ako. 

"A-aray Lolaaaaaa! Lola naman eh!" Inis kong sabi habang sinasangga yung mga palo niya.

"Ikaw bata ka ha!"

"Lola naman! I'm not a kid anymore!" Umayos ako ng upo. Seriously, 60 years old na ba talaga 'to!? Ang lakas mangbugbog eh. Tsk! Sadist old woman!

"Oo nga! You're not a kid anymore! Kaya tumayo ka na dyan at magpakasal na! Dalian mo dahil gusto ko nang magkaapo sayo! Bigyan mo na ng pinsan si Brianna!" Napasapo ako ng noo. Here we go again.

Napasabunot na lang ako sa sarili ko dahil sa kakulitan ng matandang 'to. "Oo na! I'm planning to get married!"

"Talaga?!" Lumapad naman agad ang ngiti niya saka umupo sya sa tabi ko at inayos ayos ang buhok ko na para bang bata pa ako. Damn it.  "Aigoo~ buti naman at natauhan ka nang nagiging gurang ka na~ Kanino naman ba ha?"

"Of course, Samantha, my girlfriend." Nagulat ako nang tumayo sya at tinignan ako ng masama.

"That girl?! Ayoko! Wag ka na lang magpakasal kung yung babae lang din na yun!" Tignan mo 'to. Seriously!?

"YOU SAID TO GET MARRIED NOW YOU DON'T WANT?!"

"I WANT YOU TO GET MARRIED BUT NOT WITH HER!"

"THEN WITH WHO?! SA BABAENG NAKAMA KO NA HINDI KO NAMAN KILAL--" Napatigil ako sa pagsasalita ng matauhan ako sa sinasabi ko. Shit, Winter. Wrong move.

"Ano?! Nakakama ka ng babaeng 'di mo kilala?!"

"Aish! Hindi! Wala yun! T-that was just an example, Lola!" Palusot ko. Damn. Muntikan na.

"Linawin mo kasi! Tarantado!" Look at her words! Akala mo bata! "Hoy! Ikaw magbihis ka na! Pupunta tayo ng company ipapakilala na kita!"

"Ha?! Ba't biglaan?!"

"Anong biglaan!? Nung isang taon ko pa sinabi yun sayo! Loko-loko!" Lumapit sya sakin at ginawa na naman yung hilig nya ang pingutin ako sa tenga. Aish!

"O-oo na Lola! Magbibihis na ko!" Binitawan nya yung tenga ko at umupo sa harap ko saka ko tinignan sa mata.

"Ang laki laki na ng baby Winter ko. Sana magkaron na sya ng baby! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Madalas talaga 'di ko na maintindihan takbo ng utak ng Lola kong yun. Pero kahit ganyan yan... mahalaga sakin yan. She's the one I had when I have no one.

Ang baho pakinggan makapagbihis na nga.

I took off my shades. We're already here at the company and as expected lahat sila nagpanic. Still, Lola is the CEO of the company. Wincey, my older sister is the CFO and now, I'm the COO. Good luck to this company.

I look around. This place used to be my playground. Yeah, playground! Who would thought I'm one of the owner of this now.

"Good Afternoon, Madam R, Sir Winter. Nasa meeting hall na po lahat ng staffs."

"Okay, thank you." The secretary, I guess, lead us to meeting hall. Okay, Winter, time to get serious.

Unang pumasok si Lola. Bumati siya and as usual, she's being too straight forward--- na may kalokohang kasama. "Meet my grandson, Winter Leigh Richards." And that's my cue.

I fix my coat and step in. I stand beside Lola at natigilan ako nang may mahagip ang mata ko. S-shit... it's her.

The girl that I had a one night stand with. Daaaaamn.
