"Hija"

Tiim-baga akong ngumiti sa kaniya. Fvck what is she doing here?

"I'm surprised to see you here, your mother didn't tell me." Sabi ni Tita Veronica, my mom's half sister.

"You know each other?" Sabat naman ng isang matipunong lalaki na mukhang kaedad lang din ni Dad.

"Ofcourse Mr. Cordova, she's my beautiful niece. My sister's daughter."

I smiled fakely. I tried myself not to roll my eyes in from of them. Tss.

Vlad introduces me to his parents. "Dad she's Eliss Jane Dela Fuente."

"Wow, Macey's daughter?  It's nice to meet you young lady." Sabi nito at nakipagkamay pa sa akin.

"Nice to meet you to Mr. Cordova, Mrs. Cordova."

"You're so beautiful hija just like your mom." Puri sa akin ng mommy ni Vlad.

I just smiled.

"So what's going on between my niece and a Cordova." Veronica said.

Probably she's just trying to find things to ruin me. For I know sinisiraan niya talaga ako sa mga magulang ko para hindi ko manahin ang kumpanya at mapunta ito sa anak niya.

After my grandfather died, they showed up only to claim their shares to the company at dahil mabait ang mommy ko. She lets her to be the company's CMO or the Chief Marketing Officer. Ang loka-loka naman grabs the chance to be close to my mom to do her bidding. Hindi naman naghihinala sina Mommy kasi nga puro magaganda ang pinapakita nito sa kanila but not with me. If she can fool people around well not me. Never!

"He's just a friend." Sabi ko.

"Oh, maybe your mom needs to know that you are here."

"Don't worry I'll tell her myself." Diin kong sabi.

Bumaling ako sa mga magulang ni Vlad. "Excuse me."

I need to get out of here now. Fvck! I hate her! She's a real bitch! Kumukulo ang dugo ko sa kaniya.

Napadpad ako sa terrace. Ang malamig na ihip ng hangin ang sumalubong sa akin.

"Hindi mo naman sinabing anak ka pala ng mayamang pamilya."

Hindi ko siya pinansin. Naramdaman ko lamang na tumayo si Vlad sa tabi ko.

"I'm sorry Eliss, I shouldn't have brought you here. I'll take you home na."

"Next time tell me things like this."

Hinatid niya na ako sa bahay ko. I feel tired all of a sudden. Hindi na ako magtataka pa kung tatawag sina Mommy tungkol dito. I know that bitch will tell her anyway.

"Balibera, akin na lang to ah."

Tss himala nagpaalam pa. Kadalasan kasi hinahablot lang ni Zei ang pagkain ko. Nandito kami ngayon sa cafeteria lumalamon, advance 15 minutes kasi ang break namin kaya nagmadali na kaming kumain. Ayaw naming nakikisabay sa ibang estudyante. Ang hustle.

Nagulat kami ng biglang hinampas ni Zei ang mesa.

"Hoy nakita kita kanina may katsugtsugan ka na naman at may-ari pa talaga ng school ang hinarot mo ha!" Kinurot pa ni Zei si Helene sa pisngi.
