When a Man Hater Meets Her Fiancé

Chapter 21

*Truth

Keira's POV

Nagising ako dahil sa liwanag na tumatama sa mukha ko.

Well, if you're thinking kung nagtabi ba kami ni Neo sa bed.

It's a big NO.

I don't want to happen anything na pagsisisihan ko at pagdududahan ako.

Napagkasunduan namin na ako sa bed, sya sa malaking sofa.

He has no choice, anyway.

Coz' it's a no way for a woman like me sleeping on a sofa.

Kruuuu~

Hell, I'm hungry.

=______=

I better get dressed and eat.

Pagbangon ko, wala na si Neo.

Nakaligpit na rin ang pinagtulugan nya.

He's too neat for a man.

Far from me, I often do mess.

d--,b

Naligo na ko at nagtooth brush and do everything I need.

I just wear a loose blue sleeveless shirt revealing my shoulders and a tight jeans.

"Hi gorgeous." I said to my mom pagbaba ko ng hagdan sabay kiss sa cheeks nya.

"Hi there, darling. Foods are already prepared. Eat." sagot nya habang paupo ako at hinahainan na ko ng foods.

"Mom, just a milk and cereal will do." I said while pouting.

"Don't you want to eat what I cooked?" parang nagtatampo na tanong nya.

"Oh mom. I don't want to be fat."

"Fine. Some fruits, darling?"

"That will be good. Thanks mom."

"Sure, darling."

"Where's everyone?" I asked.

"Mr. and Mrs. Park are out, buying foods for lunch. Nami is in the garden."

=______=

For pete's sake!

Mom is trying to tease me to ask where Neo is.

"And Neo?" I ask exasperated.

Mom shows a victory smile.

"Hi." Neo said sabay upo sa harap ko pagdating galing sa isang kwarto.

"There he is." mom said teasing.

"Oh come on, mom." I said rolling my eyes.

"Do you want to say something, Keira?"

Oww. May ibig sabihin yon.

=_____=

*INHALE*

"MomIliedbecauseIusedNeoasanexcuseforgettinghomelateandsorryforbringingsuchamess." dere-deretso kong sagot.

Neo chuckled a little.

+_______+

"Enjoying the show, Neo?" I said with sarcastic in my voice.

"Wait, wait. Could you please say it any clearer? I didn't understand." naguguluhang sabi ni mom.

"Err. Mom, after this don't hate me okay?" kinakabahan kong tanong.

"Ofcourse, you're my daughter." malambing na sagot naman ni mom kahit halatang naguguluhan sya.

"Mom. *sigh* We were never in a relationship." I said pertaining to Neo and me.

Ofcourse, mom gasps.

Shocked? Maybe.

"Where should I start this? Okay." sabi ko saka huminga ng malalim.

Si Neo naman, binigyan lang ako ng supporting nod.

"Mom, on that night that I introduced Neo, I just lied. I used him to cover the things I really did. The truth is, I went on a bar and had a good time with Sofie and others. Luckily, Neo unexpectedly, napadaan sya malapit satin because they are living with the same village of us. And since he had no choice, he pretend to be my boyfriend because I pleaded to him just because I'm scared at that moment. I'm scared that you're going to scold me right there." mahaba kong paliwanag pero nanatiling nakatahimik si mom.

"But I think, I just made it worse. I brought you to this mess. I didn't think that this will happen. This fiancé and wedding things just because of that pretending. I'm really really sorry mom. This is all my fault. I don't deserve you, of having you as my mom. Because you're the best mom in this world and I'm the worst daughter anyone could have."

I can't help to cry.

I don't care if Neo is watching.

But this is my mom who's I'm crying for.

Suddenly, I felt my mom hugging me from behind.

Oh shems. I need this hug.

TT^TT

Nung mejo kumalma na ko..

"Keira, I'm glad that you finally tell me about this. But, if your intention is to finally end the fiancé things, there's nothing in this world for us to change our decision of you two getting married in the future."

O______O

"WHAT?!" sabay na sigaw namin ni Neo matapos kong mabitiwan si mom sa pagkakayakap.

She gives us a slow nod.

"But why?!" I ask pissed.

Oww. For heaven's sake! What is it this time?!

=_______=

"Well, gaya nga ng sinabi namin ng mom mo Kyz hijo, we planned about this years ago. The time when you two are still kids."

"But we don't like each other." pagdedepensa ni Neo.

"Correction, we HATE each other." I said with sarcastic in my tone.

"But, it's final."

Nakuha pang maging mahinahon ni mom.

What the heck!

=______=

"No way!" pagtutol ko padin.

"Well, the best thing you two could do is to try to like and fall with each other."

"There's no way in hell that it would happen! No way, mom. NO WAY."

Di ko na tuloy nagalaw yung cereals ko.

=______=

"Wala nang reklamo. Wala na." sabi ni mom habang papunta nang kitchen.

"What to do?" I ask frustrated to Neo.

"I don't fcking know." he said then runs his hand through his hair.

Seems like, hindi lang ako ang naiinis.

Well, that's the b*llsht truth.

He's still my fiancé for heaven's sake!
