Seniorita 14
Selina:
I swayed out from the airport like this was my runway. Kadarating ko lang sa Pilipinas—what an exhausting flight! Pero I gotta be home and see papa Fred. Dal'wang araw lang naman akong nawala and even though he affirmed his good state—hindi ko pa rin maiwasang hindi mag-alala.
This might be the reason why I lessen my night life lately—kaya sabi nga ni Bolton sa'kin biglang naging boring akong kasama.
Tsk! Whatever.
Teka, wait!
I took off my glasses. Was I seeing his ghost? Lutther's ghost! He was standing outside his car at the parking area. Naghihintay din ako sa driver namin na mukhang hindi pa 'ata dumating. Ba't siya nandito? Was Aurora here? Hayst! So!? Iniwasa ko siyang tingnan at tuloy-tuloy na naglakad.
"Selina," He called my name. Hindi ko siya nilingon. I continued walking. "Selina!" He called me again—louder this time. Naiinis akong lumingon rito.
He was wearing his office suits with his loosen necktie. He looked so f***ing messed up--cluttered but gorgeous.
Kahit saan naman angle tingnan talagan, Lutther is still Lutther-the-hot-mess! May inis sa paraan ng pagtingin niya sa'kin ngayon habang papalapit sa'kin.
"What? Why are you here?" Alangan naman to drive me home, 'di ba? I didn't want to assume! My God!
"Tito Fred told me to fetch you here instead of your driver." He coldly replied. Walang buhay nitong kinuha ang mga gamit ko ngayon. What? Papa told her to what? No way, he obeyed this as if we were friends!
He pushed my luggages towards his awaiting car. I clung my head saka sumunod rito. Damn. Whatever.
Don't expect too much, Selina.
Lutther is still Lutther-the-devil. May binabalak siya o may gusto na naman siyang i-dagdag sa marriage agreement naming dal'wa?
Nauna akong pumasok sa loob. Of course, I secretly thanked him dahil kinuha niya ang mga bagahe ko. I sat here at the passengers' seat. Inilayo ko ang tingin when he got inside the driver's seat.
"Anong plano mo this time, Lutther? Hindi ka naman siguro pumayag without your reasons for seeing me today, right?" Bungad ko sa kaniya. He started driving his car. I saw him glanced back on the rearview mirror. I knew it! May sasabihin na naman siya, e.
"Hell, yeah. Marami, Selina." His words were heavy. Ano na naman this time? I couldn't help not to raised my brows. Jeez this guy!
"Spit it, Lutther. What is it?" Kahit wala akong ganang malaman—kahit walang kwenta—let me hear it anyway. This was the least I expected him to do. Yung parang real fiancée ko siya—sinusundo sa airport and carry my bags after an exhausting flight.
Parang real fiancée, huh? Ha-ha, Selina!
"I want you to stop your modeling job." What!? Umusok 'ata ang ilong ko dun, ha! Did I hear him right? And who he thought he was!?
"Excuse me?" The hell! Ba't napunta ang usapan sa modeling career ko? At excuse me—sino siya para patigilin ako when in fact papa Fred had never ever said that to me!
"You heard me right, Selina." Hah! I puffed an air.
"At sino ka sa akala mo para sabihin sa'kin yan?!" Muntikan na akong mapasubsob nang bigla siyang mag-brake! "Sh*t!!! What the f**k's your problem, Lutther!?" Nasapo ko ang sarili kong noo. Checking myself right now. Sinapak ko 'agad ang likuran ng driver's seat. "Magpakamatay ka'ng mag-isa, Lutther!"
"Ikakasal na tayo, Selina—then you still love to flaunt your nude body in the internet? I don't want stains on my name as we're still married for a year. Do you really love being feasted online? Aren't you feel shame, Selina?" What the hell was he talking about!? What sh*tty statements were that!? Pulang-pula ang pakiramdam ko sa pisngi ko ngayon.
"Stains? As in—mantsa ako sa pangalan mo, Lutther? Hah!" But that f***ing word hit me so hard na akala ko bato ako para masaktan—pero hindi pala. Secretly that pained my bloody as*! "..kaninong idea 'tong gan'tong set-up? Ah, wait! I remembered a f***ing guy, who drove straight in my farm and told me absurd things and proposed sh*t plans! None other than—Lutther-the-bullsh*t-jerk!" At wala akong planong atrasan siya though I was a bit shaken by his blatant words.
As if I did something in the internet and it made an impact on him—like f***ing what?! Gago, e! What I need was for my work! Kung meron mang nasilabasan na mga stolen pictures during my catwalk—do I have control over that?
Saan niya nilagay ang utak niya!?
"Ang gusto ko lang---"
Enough!
I grabbed the car's door and unlocked it.
"Alam mo, Lutther? Magpakasal kang mag-isa mo—f**k off, bastard!" Padabog kong binuksan ang pintoan saka lumabas mula sa sasakyan nito. I shut his door at malakas na pinukpok ang back's door for him to open it. Kukunin ko ang mga bagahe ko!
Nag-uunahan sa pagkalabog ang puso ko sa sobrang galit ko sa kaniya. Gusto ko siyang sampalin! He went out too and his rage was also leveling up on me. To hell I care!
"Open this up!" Sigaw ko.
Diretso itong naglakad papunta sa'kin at bigla nalang akong lumutang sa ere. He lifted me up!
"Shut up, Selina. Hinihintay na tayo ng mga magulang na'tin sa bahay niyo—so stop being childish!" Pinagbabayo ko ang likuran niya. Sobrang galit ang nararamdaman ko sa kaniya. Hanggang sa ibinalik niya ako sa upuan ko—and automatically locked the door. Katabi na niya ako sa driver's seat.
"Lutther! You idiot!" Pero parang wala itong narinig. He started his car's engine and then started driving again.
Grr!
If only killing someone was not a crime, I would!
