Serendipitous Love (San Vicente Series #1)

Chapter 7

I felt something in my tummy that flutters when he said that. I think because it's too cheesy.

Duh? Whatever!

There's a lot of people. I guess they are very competitive when it comes to pageants. When I was a mutya, almost all the people supported me.

I guess this is the power of beauty? Is this really the society? They don't consider the knowledge. Basta maganda, pasa na? A big No.

Good Thing I have both. Kung hindi, wala akong panlaban. Knowledge is our sword, that's why brain is way better than beauty.

"Ladies and Gentleman, Welcome to the search for Mutya ng San Vicente"

The emcee was good hosting the program. After the introduction, agad ipinakilala ang mga judges. Tatlo lang kaming judges. The judge on my left was a gay, If I'm not mistaken he's a sponsor of this event. The judge on my right, I think she's the last year's Mutya.

"And for our last judge, She's was once a Little Miss Mutya way back when she was 8 years old, She's a Graduate of Bachelor's in Fashion Design at London College of Contemporary Arts, They own the International Clothing Line 'Beyond Granada' , Meet Judge #3, Miss Charisse Clodette Granada"

Tumayo ako and smiled on the people around me. The Audience are clapping. Umupo kaagad ako.

I think judging this pageant is easy. There are only 5 candidates. Per zone has their own representatives. We only have 5 zones so it's not that bad.

The Pageant was boring as fuck. May talent portion. May sumayaw nga ng tala, hindi naman aabot hanggang dulo ng boyfriend nya.

Not being bitter but I'm just stating the fact.

Candidate #3 won. Her question was easy, her answer was much better than her fellow candidates, but still not the best.

Well, I'm still the best.

When the program finished, we took some pictures. I'm not really comfortable, but just one fake smile at the camera, It's perfect.

We're standing at the stage together with the people that made this program successful. We took a lot of photos.

"1.. 2.. 3.., Smile!" The photographer was also good. Pagkatapos ay nagkamayan lahat. I'm still wearing my plastic smile.

Some of these people are sponsors. Hindi pumupunta si Nanay, of course she's busy with her almost a hundred guest! Kadalasan ng guest ni Nanay ay puro taga-rito lang naman. Pero I'm waiting for my favorite cousins to come. Feeling ko nandun na ata sila.

"Miss Charisse Granada" napalingon ako kung sino iyon.

Captain Torvas.

He is our captain here in baranggay san vicente. He's also attractive like Ahldryx. I'm not surprised, magkapatid sila.

But I can say that Ahldryx has more strong features than Captain Torvas. Just stating the fact.

Nilapitan ako ni Captain.

"Hello, Captain. How are you?" I smiled at Captain.

"It's good to see you again! Salamat at naging parte ka sa programang ito."

"No Problem, Captain"

"Do you want to go to the after fiesta?" He asked.

If there's after party, here in san vicente they have after fiesta. It's just a simple foam party with free cheap drinks.

Am I going? Or not? Hmm. Pwede ko namang isama si Josh. May natitira pang pitong Jack Daniels sa bahay kaya pwede akong mag donate.

Or

I don't know.

It's not bad to try.

"Sure-----" hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko.

"She's not going, Kuya" I heard a strong and cold voice beside me.

Napalingon ako sa tabi ko.

FUCK HIM!

Nagkatitigan sila Captain Torvas at Ahldryx.

I can feel the tense between them. Kaya nagsalita na ako kaagad para mawala ito.

"At sino ka naman para mag-decide kung pupunta ako o hindi!?"

Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Ahldryx para mapaatras sya. I feel like in a matter of second, they will fight. Agad kong inilayo sya ng kaonti.

Hindi ko na sya matiis. He's too much! Kanina ay dahil sa kanya hindi kami nakapag date ni Ranz! Ngayon naman ay hindi nya ako papupuntahin?

FUCK!

He faced me with a smile in his face.

"Whatever"

did he just imitate me? He copied my favorite line! Bullshit!

"You guys are getting along. Are you guys a couple?" Napalingon kami kay Captain Torvas.

"NO"
"SOON"

WHAT DID HE SAY?

I faced Ahldryx with anger on my face.

"I fucking should go home" padabog akong umalis.

Napatingin ang ibang tao sa ginawa kong oag-dadabog.

Hindi ko na sya matiis! Bakit ba ganyan sya! He's fucking annoying. He's a headache! Nakakairita! Pinapakealaman ang buhay ng iba! Why can't he mind his own business?

FUCK HIM! Whatever!

I was crossing the mini road when I saw an approaching motor. I didn't know what to do because it was getting closer. I crossed my arms because of it's light.

The motor would crash on me.

But I felt somebody's arms wrapped around me. He picked me up and we fell by the side of the road.

I slowly opened my eyes.

Our eyes met.

Agad kong napagtanto na nakapatong na pala ako kay Ahldryx. I immediately stood up at pinagpagan ang aking damit.

Nakita ko ang tingin ng iilang mga tao saamin. Inirapan ko na lamang ang mga tingin nila saamin ni Ahldryx

He chuckled at tumayo rin.

"Nakakainis ka!" Inis kong sabi.

He chuckled again.

Shit! Pati ba naman pag tawa nya gwapo? Fuck.

"Be Careful. I'd catch you when you'll fall." He smiled and raised both of his eyebrows.

W-what? Fuck this guy! He's fucking annoying!

"E-excuse me? I won't fall for you! Duh? I have feelings for somebody else! And your Jokes? Is not funny." Inirapan ko na lamang sya at tumingin ako sa kawalan.

I have feelings for Ranz. Sya ang gusto ko at hindi itong si Ahldryx.

True! It's not funny at all. It's really a mais!

I saw him closed the space between us.

"Not funny? Bakit? Nakakainlove ba?"

Napalingon ako sa sinabi nya. What is he talking about?

"Feelingero! Whatever!" I flipped my hair and dumaan na sa gilid ng court papunta sa bahay.
