Del Rico Triplets #3: To Be Ruined By You

Masochist

What are you willing to do for love?

If that is the question, I already have an answer to that. I will beg. That's what I learned from my surroundings. Living with my Lola when I was ten years old and witnessed how she begged her beloved to visit her through mails. That even with just one glance, she will be happy with that.

But Lola died without receiving anything in response. After years of sending him mails, he never, even once, tried to answer her. All she does is beg for him to visit her and she fails.

When Lola died, I had to live with my mother's family and I learned to beg for their affection. Tito Rue doesn't like me around and I can tell that my sisters were all annoyed at me.

Mommy had to talk to my father so he could pay attention to me too but it never happened. Noong nagpakilala ako, mabilis nitong sinabi na hindi maaring malaman ng publiko ang tungkol sa akin.

I am a fruit of adultery. Nabuntis ang mommy ko kay Daddy habang may asawa itong buntis din sa kapatid ko. Dad didn't take responsibility for me and decided to pay Mommy a lot of money which she used to change her life and that's when she met her husband.

Basically, naiwan akong mag-isa at sa sarili kong pamilya, nagmamakaawa ako para sa kakarampot na atensyon at kaunting pagmamahal na bago ko pa matanggap, kailangan ko pang paghirapan ng husto. I have to beg for Mommy's attention and Daddy's approval of me as his daughter.

What are you willing to do for love? Beg. That's what I will do. That's what I'm good at. Kaya ganoon ang ginagawa ko. Nangungulit na mapansin niya. Naghihintay kung kailan muling matatapunan ng tingin niya. Kahit paulit-ulit akong madismaya, paulit-ulit pa rin akong aasa na balang araw, magtatagumpay din ako.

"Really, Eve? Gagawin natin 'to just for that bastard?" nakangiwing tanong ni Malyca.

She's my friend. Not a best friend but a friend. I do really think that the two have a big difference. Best friend's breakup is worse than a friend's separation.

"Sandali lang naman. Mukhang paalis na iyong babae, eh." I fixed my hair and continued. "Kapag alis niya, papasok tayo at kunwari ay hindi alam na nandoon si Tyron."

She snorted at me. Binalingan ko siya habang nakalabi. I clasped both of my hands and blinked my eyes repeatedly.

"Pretty please," pagpapa-cute ko.

Walang nagawa si Lyca kundi ang samahan ako. We waited for thirty minutes before the girl left while fixing her clothes. She is also having difficulty taking bigger steps. Lumabi ako. They probably did something inside.

Pumasok kami ni Malyca at nagsimula ako ng topic na hindi niya pa masundan noong una. Sa pheriperal vision ko, kitang-kita kong bumaling sa amin ang grupo nila Tyron. I laughed elegantly at kunwari ay nagtingin nang nagtingin ng gamit doon.

"This is a fucking kink store. Kunwaring coffee shop lang!" nangangalit ang ngipin ni Malyca pero nakangiti.

Her hand gripped mine and secretly pinched me. May tinuro ang nguso niya na binalingan ko. I thought it's just a design but it is actually a closet with doors wide open to present some unusual things.

There's a line of a men's dick displayed there in different sizes and materials. Bahagyang nanlaki ang mata ko. Indeed! Akala ko ay coffee shop 'to at ito ang unang pagkakataon na tinangka kong pumasok para makita si Tyron. He loves coming here and I really thought he loves coffee just like me. Bakit mas maraming bote ng alak dito? Mukhang mamahalin din at naka-display!

Sa hawak sa akin ni Lyca, masasabi kong hindi siya komportable sa ambiance at sa pagbaling ng atensyon sa amin. Ang klase kasi ng titig ng mga naroon sa loob ay tumatagos sa amin.
