Sixteen: Anger and Pursuit 1

Ysabelle

Shopping isn't usually my thing. But I have to make do since Adrienne currently isn't in a good state. How careless can that girl be? At time like this, I just want to yell and smack her hard. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I want to care for her, because at this point, I just have to care for her. It's not like I like responsibilities in the first place, but that doesn't indicate that I have to be irresponsible.

In other words, that girl is my responsible. As long as we are under this fiancé situation, she's my responsibility. The least she could do is stop being a brat around me and just do what I want her to. In that case, things are getting easier though. I thought she won't yield to me that easily but...it was a surprise how she follows me like I'm superior. Despite her sister telling me she's stubborn as hell.

"Ito lang ba ang kailangan mo?" Tanong ni Zein matapos niyang pumila sa linya at binili ang dalawang boxes ng steak.

Nag shopping narin kasi siya para sa mga kakailanganin niya dahil malapit na siyang lumipat sa DSU. Tumutulong kasi siya sa business nila doon sa Canada at mukhang tapos na ito kaya lilipat narin siya sa wakas sa DSU. May mga nakakaalam na may girlfriend na ako but no one dares to criticize me for it. They aren't in the right place to do so.

Mayaman ako, mas mayaman pa sa kanila, marami akong koneksyon at mga achievements kaya mahihiya lang sila kung sasabihan nila ako ng hindi maganda. I have a perfect life so far, not until Adrienne came in the picture and ruined it. This engagement only served as a punishment for me for trying to hide the fact that I have a girlfriend, akla ko kasi nung una hindi papayag sina Mom at Dad.

But I was surprised when they were rather supportive about it and the next thing I know, inengage na nila ako sa hindi ko manlang kilala, at sa ibang babae pa talaga. Ginagamit lang naman nila ako dahil alam nila na kung ako, sigurado silang mapapabago ko ang buhay ni Adrienne. How troublesome.

"It is. Thank you, Zein." Sabi ko sa kaniya at kinuha ang paperbag.

Kanina pa kami dito naglilibot sa mall, nangangawit narin ang mga paa ko. I'm not fond of shopping after all. I rather just do all my works in my own room or office. Call me a workaholic for all I care. Palagi lang kasi talaga kong nabo-bored na tinututok ko nalang ang sarili ko sa trabaho. Because if I don't make myself busy, the dull life I'm having will make me feel nauseous.

"Shall we go?" Tumango ako sa kaniya tsaka niya kinuha ang isa kong kamay at lumaba sna kami ng area na iyon.

Naglalakad kami habang hinahawakan niya ang kamay ko. I never really hold her hand the way she holds mine, naalala ko tuloy ang pinag-usapan namin noon. It makes me wonder why, hindi lang naman siya. Una kong nakilala si Zein noong grade twelve pa lamang ako sa DSU. She was...well a lot different from then.

She would always go recklessly and join random fistfights. That was until she met me. She knew I dislike that kind of person, irresponsible and a troublemaker. Kaya nangako siya sa akin noong nililigawan niya ako na magbabago na siya. Kaya matinong babae na diya ngayon. All because she fell for me.

Probably that was where she got the idea of making Adrienne fall for me. Dahil tulad niya, tiyak na titino din si Adrienne. But I still think otherwise. I mean, it's that brat we're talking about. She's a troublemaker, I often don't understand what's going on in her mind, and most especially, she's too irresponsible.

But I got too annoyed about our situation where I just...went and did that. I'm tired of trying to fix everything when she doesn't even actually try to change anything. She's always the same, stubborn and annoying. I don't know though, I can't make myself dislike that part of her.
