Twisted Fate (Twisted Series #1)

#2

[Inom tayo! nomnom natin yan, gusto mo sama pa natin sila tita baka sakaling mag bago isip nila!]

tinawanan ko si Art na malakas ang boses sa kabilang linya. nakakahiya siguro to, ang ingay ingay sa school di man lang hinaan yung boses. buti di pa siya kini kick out sa college.

"I can't. Saturday ngayon remember?" i chuckled, habang iniipit yung phone ko gamit ang balikat at leeg ko para makuha ko yung susi ko sa Lavida ko. kakatapos lang ng last class at nauna na ko sa mga kaibigan ko.

[Ay oo nga pala, they asked you to have family dinner with your future in-laws.]

halata sa boses niya ang pang aasar, i rolled my eyes kahit di niya makikita yon.

"more like they forced me." sarkastikong pag tawa ko at nilapag sa shotgun seat yung bag ko at ini start na yung engine nung kotse.

[kawawa ka nama--- Uy bro! tuloy ka ba mamaya?]

mukhang may nakita siyang kakilala niya. i heard someone answer pero i couldn't hear it properly since it came from a distance. familiar yung voice pero di ko na pinag tuunan ng pansin.

i bid Art goodbye and drove to my condo, it was only a kilometer away from La Salle.

i never thought that there will come a day that my mom will have to threaten me just to make me obey her. she said she'll cut me off if i don't come.

"Simpleng family dinner lang, pag bigyan mo na mommy mo."

daddy's words weren't helpful at all. kahit hindi niya aminin, i can feel that even after all those years that they've been married hindi na mawawala sa kaniya yung feeling ng inferiority.

daddy was born from a middle class family. professor sa college ang dad niya, which is my papang and mamang was just a housewife. no matter how much knowledge daddy has, no matter how great his capabilities were, in the end, iba parin talaga ang outcome para sa mga taong pinanganak na mayaman.

that's why i'm not mad at dad. at most, he tries not to meddle. tho if he does, si mommy ang papanigan niya. i shook my head and focused on driving instead. dumiretso na ko sa unit ko and took a quick shower para ma wash off yung pawis sa katawan ko.

I just wore a black off shoulder cocktail dress and a pair of white strapped heels. i just did a light make up, para lang masabi na nag effort ako mag ayos at nag lagay ng pearl earrings. hindi ko na inayos yung buhok ko and let it down, bahala na. basta nag ayos ako, wala na silang magagawa kung hindi ako magustuhan nung papakilala nila sakin.

sana nga hindi.

I drove to the location Daddy messaged me. the mansion was as big as ours and i'm not amazed by it since i'm used to houses like these. anong gagawin mo sa napaka laking bahay? hindi mo naman kakailanganin lahat ng space don. i always thought that mansions are all just a way of boasting.

sinalubong ako nung isa sa mga maids nila at dinala na ako sa dining area. the chandelier was annoyingly blinding. may chandelier na nga sa common area pati ba naman dito meron? sinubukan kong hindi mag taray nang makarating na ko sa dining table. they were all seated and i was the only one missing-- well except for the seat infront of me.
