Hold To Find (On-going)

Chapter 1

Unwanted

"Hey Se! Have you ever heard 'bout our acquaintance?" Achiena asked will we are having our coffees.

"Not sure, why?" I asked then sipped my coffee.

"Balita ko sa resort ata." Sabi niya pa, pero pina-ikutan ko lang ito ng mata at tinarayan lang ako pabalik. "Sese, di ka man lang ba na-excite kahit konti? Kahit parang tinusok ka lang ng konting  excitement? Like this?" Umamba siya na tutusukin ako sa balikat gamit ang hintuturo niya.

"Para sa'n? Makipag-plastikan sa mga wannabe bitches na walang ginawa kundi magyabangan ng branded bags na akala mo first time. Sila sila lang din naman ang may pake."

I don't have problems with branded items because I also uses one of them. It's just that hindi ko lang gusto na ipagyabang yung meron ako besides lots of my bags were gift from dad or from my tito's and tita's. I also do buy some of them cause I believe in quality over quantity.

"Bitter ka talaga dai? Di ba pwedeng lalaki hanapin? Communicate? Ganon!" Nakangiting pang aasar pa niya.

"Ikaw puro kalandian yang naiisip mo pag ako naging malandi kasalan mo 'yon." Binato ko siya ng isang pirasong cashew.

"Aray ha! Aba nanisi pa. Ok girl tara mag shopping tayo like, let's buy clothes then bags and then shoes and many more!" Sambit niya pa sa maarteng tono.

"Di bagay sayo Chin nakakainis." Inirapan ko nalang siya. Nagpatuloy nalang ako sa pagkain ng nuts.

"Apaka maldita mo. You know? Attitude to." she even have the guts to glare at me.

"Dukutin ko pa mata mo jan eh." Banta ko at pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata.

"Tignan mo apaka sadista talaga." sabay agaw sa kamay ko ng lalagyanan ng cashew.

"By the way Chin may favor pala ako sayo." sambit ko sa gitna ng pagtatarayan namin.

"Aba aber pagkatapos mo akong pagmalditahan at pagtangkaang dukutin ang aking beautiful eyes ay manghihingi ka ng favor. Tsk tsk tsk." aba inirapan ako ng gaga.

"Edi don't! arte neto." Sagot ko pa. 

May pa edi don't pa ko pero I really need help from her. This is about my little business. I came from a wealthy family but I don't want to rely on them cause I feel like isusumbat lang sakin ni mommy yon. Sometimes I envy kuya Riley and Sevina kasi nasa kanila yung attention ni mommy. Mom was always been so distant to me. Dad was not, but his business is keeping me away from him. So I decided maybe I could stand on my own. I started being independent ever since I became legal. Hindi man kasing laki ng kinikita ng malalaking business ang kinikita ko, it was enought to pay for a decent apartment and pay for my expenses in this school I don't pay for the tuition since I'm a scholar. Saan ko nakuha yung puhunan ko? Kuya Ry is now working under daddy and since he knows that I don't want the support from mommy and daddy, he was the one to give me money for my wants, but since I badly want to stand on my own I saved the money for me to start this little business of mine. At tsaka after ni kuya gumraduate ng Business management I know na gusto niya pang magaral ulit and this time he'll take engineering. So ayokong umasa nalang sa pera na ibinibigay niya.

"Charot ano ba yon?" Inangat baba niya ang kanyang kilay.  "Mabuti ba yan? Maayos ba? Legal ba yan? Kung hindi edi I'm not interested." padaldal niyang tanong while making hand gestures.  

"Grabe ha mukha ba kong criminal ha?"

"Ay hindi! kanina lang naman gusto mo nang dukutin ang my beautiful eyes. Kidding aside, ano ba 'yon?" umayos siya ng upo at sumalumbaba sa table.

"Someone wants to invest but I can't go kasi may gagawin ako by that time." I have to go to the launching ng another business ni daddy. "Hindi niya pwedeng i-adjust yung schedule niya as well as I can't. Mind if you meet with the investor?"
