ES-1 (Storm)

Chapter Three

LOUVILLE

"What the fucking hell all that means?!!"

"Don't curse and raised your voice to us your parents young lady!" I can hear the full authority of my Daddy's voice.

My face was covered with tears, it's my 16th birthday and I am supposed to be happy but what the hell just happened?

"Baby, we are sorry we didn't tell you soon that you are bound to marry a de Cuesta because I am a Buenavidez, we got scared that you might rebel" Mom explain and I laugh a sarcastic laugh.

"Rebel? Mommy, Daddy di nyo man lang ako binigyan kahit hint man lang that I will never enjoy my freedom as a woman, going to work for our company, travel, chasing my dreams, wanting something so bad that I need to work my ass work to get what I want. Going to parties like other girls do because my life, my life was already programmed to produce a heir that will manage the Empire! it's so unfair I have dreams to, I have design my life too." My voice change from raging to sobbing.

"Let's talk about this again, Louville when everything settled inside your head and Abuela wanted to talked to you tomorrow" my Dad voice never even falter from my burst out, he then turn and goes back to the party. Mom is now crying.

" It's my fault my baby, and my sorry will not be enough" as my Mom tears keep falling, this is the only tears I can't bear.

" Mom, please don't cry please. I will be fine I promise you I will be fine" I assured her as her tears can't stop falling and it pained me so much.

" Mom you know I love you so much right? I love you and Dad so I will be fine" she caress my face and kissed my forehead.

" I love you too baby" she said I nodded and turned my way to my room. I sat at my bed corner as tears continuously flow in my cheeks. Not in my slightest dream that I will be engaged at the age of 16 because I want so much in my life that marrying at the age of 30 is my best option. But what happened today turned everything upside down. I already knew that Buenavidez need to marry a de Cuesta but I never thought it was me. It was given already the rich marry the rich, we are part of the elites my father belong to the Eldea Clan my mother is a Buenavidez if we keep doing it I foresee that the next series of my generations will have a complicated family tree.

I heard a series of knocks in my door but I want to be alone. The knock continued and I ceased my forehead. Who the hell is this? Bakit di maka intindi na gusto ko ngang mapag isa. Dahil mukhang hindi titigil ang kumakatok sa pintuan nagpasya na lang akong buksan ito and to my surprise it is my fiancé.

"Can we talk?" he said naamoy ko ang alak sa kanyang hininga.

" We're already talking" I said in a matter of fact tone.

" Are you mad at me Louville?"

" Why would I be?"

"Because we are in the same shit right now"

I stared at his eyes, it was dreamy I guess his really drunk.

" Go home Storm you're drunk"

" Wow. Vienna Louville gone with the "Kuya Storm"now?"

"Why would I call my fiancé a Kuya?"

"So you're also into it? What's this all a façade? You... crying.., walking out..."

" don't start with me Storm..."

"Stop calling me Storm Louville"

"Okay Sean, now leave I am tired"

"Did you hear yourself, kiddo?"

" I have no hearing problem Storm in fact sa ating dalawa it's you who have a hearing problem kanina pa kita pinapaalis peru di ka nakikinig and for your information in case you don't know ako ang naagrabyado dito ako ang nalulugi ako ang parang ninakawan ng pangarap na maging malaya sa gusto ko sa buhay so fuck off Storm before this bomb inside my chest burst out please" I said almost crying almost pleading, I don't want to say something that is not nice to him. He still my Kuya Storm he is my bestfriends brother and his nice to me.

" Anong nalulugi? Are you blind Louville? Ang swerte mo nga sa gwapong lalaki kung ito" I stared at him loss for words. Yeah sure I grow up knowing him but not totally kasi ang pagkaka alam ko lang siya ang basagulero, siya ang di nag aaral ng maayos but his nice to me and that's all.

"May selective hearing ka nga, sa dami ng sinasabi ko yan lang ang narinig mo?" I crossed my arms on my chest.

He just stand there staring at me. And I gave up ano ba ang kapwa naming pinaglalaban?

"Kuya Storm please umalis ka muna" I said on light tone baka di ito makaintindi kasi lasing, baka masapak ako nito.

" Do you like Thunder? If he didn't walked away, will you be happy if you will be engaged with him?" I frown, seriously ano ang pinaglaban ng lalaking ito?

"What's the difference? You are a de Cuesta too and you are more than willing"

" Don't used my words against me Louville" I saw his eyes turns serious.

And me being just a teenager, I suddenly burst out like throwing tantrums shouting at him.

"Bakit ka kasi pumayag? You could have walk away like Kuya Thunder did, it is easier than that!" I even stomped my feet on the floor while crying.

" and what? seeing you look stupid while my brother walked away?"

"pwede naman yun ah!"

"sleep now Louville it is still a long engagement" he said as he about to leave

"fuck you Sean Storm de Cuesta" I murmured under my breath, but I am wrong when I say he have a selective hearing because he halt and turn his intense gaze at me staring me directly in my eyes.

"I can't baby, you are still minor and I don't want to have a case in statutory rape, physical injuries is enough" I was tongue tied, standing there like an idiot processing what he said I just realized he was not in front of me anymore and I am standing there alone.

To hell with this life! And to hell also with Sean Storm de Cuesta
