My beautiful Dianne.
That was weird. Never did I know that he have that kind of attitude! Well, paano mo malalaman Dianne? You are naive! Tss... I was just saying that Anthony helps me a lot tapos ganun ang magiging reaksyon nya? Ang seriously?! Why am I even making this issue big? Gal! Make up your mind. You just can't keep on thinking about him! Don't be distracted!
Then how? Tss... how can I prevent myself from thinking about him if all I will hear inside this house is his name?! From my Mom to my Dad to my Kuya and even from the house helpers! If there's only a way to avoid his imaginary presence then I would!
"Vamono Silverado just build another empire in Manila, it was said that he already have a net worth countable as Billions. That kid surely have a great sense in business huh?"
"You bet, I mean. He conquered everything! And I mean everything! He managed to be merged with the Salbajes without marrying! Damn. And also, Merañez and Abieza are currently trying to get his attention!"
"His strategic way of negotiating is unnoticeable, so hard and rare. Not to mention he is just older than our daughter." Makahulugan akong sinulyapan ni Dad. Tinaasan ko sya nang kilay. Kita ko rin ang pag inom ni Kuya nang tubig habang nakatitig sa akin. Habang napapalunok naman ang si Mom habang naka sulyap rin sa akin.
Seriously? I want to get his presence off my system! Can't they get it? I don't have any intention of being near on that guy. It is just not so me. My Family taught me to be a dalagang filipina and I mean it. I won't chase a boy cause guys must be the one who'll pursue their prospects. Not the other way around.
"Well, how about you Dianne? What can you say?" Daddy looked at me expectantly. Napainom ako nang tubig.
"He was one of the trainer or reviewer for our upcoming quiz bee competition. It was hard and the questions are not so understandable, it will take us time but Mrs. Tingco said that I need to be more sharp—"
"How about your observation to Vamono?" There! Got yah! Just like what I need to know. They only want to know about that stupid guy na sinungitan ako matapos kong sabihin na si Anthony ang tinatanong ko kapag may hindi ako maintindihan.
"I don't like him. Though, most of my girl bestfriends wants to fuck him. Except me."
"Dianne! Watch your Mouth!"
"Sorry. I'm done eating." Tumayo na ako upang makatakas na sa mga nonsense na tamong nang pamilya. I really hate it when I snap. I can't stop my mouth from saying bad words. It's just maybe, the pressure. I felt like I was in a hot seat so I did that.
It was the night after kong mabad trip. I got home so irritated and almost scold my Kuya who's smirking at me. That little conversation of us made me think that he's just like some other guy! Idiot! He's a piece of shit! I don't know why am I getting irritated when I see some little stupid things. It makes my blood boils in pure annoyance!
Morning came at ang init init nang ulo ko, figuratively. Nakakunot ang noo ko at yun ang naabutan nila Mom, Dad at Kuya. Nasulyapan ko ang tahimik na tanungan nila sa isa't isa ngunit hindi ko na yun pinansin. Maiinis lang ako. Lalong kumunot ang noo ko nang mapansin na walang sugar ang gatas ko. Sinamaan ko nang tingin sila Kuya na tumititig sa akin. Nang mainom ang gatas na matabang ay agad na akong tumayo.
"Aalis na po ako."
"We'll go na—"
"Mag co-commute ako." Inirapan ko ito sa hindi malamang dahilan. Wala sa kanila ang nakapalag dahil sa agaran kong pagpara nang jeep na dadaan.
