OBSESSION SERIES 1: Appalling Pretense

Chapter 2- Grand Ball

RETURN

Natatawa kong hinalikan sa pisngi si Cory habang masama naman ang timpla nito. She's glaring me like I'm sort of a prey.

" Panno ba yan Una na ako" ngunit na kita ko lamang itong inirapan ako.

Cory is to heartless but she's soft inside. Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako dahil pinoproblema ko ang love life nila. Hays, ang titigas kasi. They just making it hard for them.

I can't tolerate this attitude of her. In denial ang peg nang dalawa at ako Pa ang ginagawang barrier ni blue pantakip sa "cold treat " nya kuno.

I gave her last glance and smile sweetly and started the engine.

" BEBS! Look that ummmmm yummy rawr! Pede na pang gabihan ko hihihihi" natatawang napailing na lang ako sa kakulitan ni Tristan or mas kilala sa tawag na Trisha. He's one of my teammates. Nakakasura lang at naka Tuxedo ito at pormang porma na parang tunay na lalaki pero nakabaluktot naman ang pinky nito. Napapailing na lang ako at napapaisip na napapaligiran ako nang mga gagang kaibigan.

Then suddenly a melodic song started to play. The ball is about to start. Nagpaalam muna ako sa kanila para pumunta sa grand entrance. Since I'm Blue's date for tonight I need to be with him sa pagpasok. May kaekekan kasi ang organizer at tatawagin ang mga kalahok sa pagpasok.

I was wearing a glamorous fitted off shoulder dress that reveal my cleavage and see through at my back. It also has a big slit on the side that shows my long flawless legs. Pero hindi naman nakakabastos. I am also wearing a party like make-up with smokey eyes pero hindi makapal because I feel uncomfortable.

When Blue saw me, a manly smile curved on his naturally red lips. He stand like a Greek God and looking lovely at me. In a blink of an eye he wrap his strong arms around my waist then give me a peck on my forehead.

" You look Goddess, Niña" he stated while staring at me firmly. I just chuckled and give him a kiss on his cheeck. Hindi nakalagpas sa paningin ko ang pamumula nang tenga nito. Tsk. Lagot ka kay bebe mo. I laugh on my mind.

Then the host started calling the names of the millionaire to billionaire men with their muse.

After our names were called which was second to the last, the last arrival ( feeling VIP ang mga lintikan) finally came.

" Let's give a hand to Mister Paul Naiven Apolo and him together with Miss. Zenn Kyla Denillo"

Biglang bumilis ang tibok nang puso ko nang dumagundong ang malakas na palakpakan at ang pagpasok ng panahuin. A pang in my chest grow when my eyes settled to the man gracefully walking to the red carpet without any emotion while a lady was smiling wide with her hand around his firm arm.

I-it was him! His the one from the bulletin board.

I felt a strange feeling. I can't take off my eyes on him. I know curiosity and confusion was visible to my face. Who is he? W-why am I feeling strange suddenly. But then hatred grow bigger at my system when I saw him coldly staring like he doesn't give a damn on his surrounding.

5 years ago I was a traumatic then half of my memories was lost after I become conscious. The doctor said because of overwhelming trauma/events, it essentially block that memory in a process called dissociation or detachment from reality. " The brain will attempt to protect itself". The brain may wander off and work to avoid the memory but on my case I forgot half of my life. It's sort of like a selective amnesia.
