BINIBINI SERIES NO.2: Elle Jymm Rodriquez [On Hold]

Chapter 4

“what are you wearing?” Mom look at me like everything I do is wrong

“don’t wear that” aniya saka umalis sa harap ko at pumunta sa isang closet.
I look at myself in the mirror.

Pastel green bodycon dress and black simple heels.
I look fine naman.

“wear this!” bumalik si Mommy dala ang black see through designer gown and a Miu Miu heels.

“mom? Isn’t this too much” pag rereklamo ko

We will be attending my cousin’s wedding, wearing this gown will surely gain so much attention.

I don’t want that.

But for mommy, she like to boast about everything she have. How's she living now, and how i was.

I've learned that Mommy is not born from a wealthy family, she's the only daughter of... what is the word?
Ill-fated couple, yes!

Malas daw ang sinapit nina Lolo and Lola, even thier siblings didn't help them when they were sinking in life.
So i couldn't blame mommy of how she treated my Tito's and Tita's na nagmana sa mga kapatid nina lolo, based on what Mommy said.

But i couldn't stand it, Mommy was only a second wife of my father, whom i haven't met in person.

He supported Mommy ever since i came, he give mommy everything she want and need, he didn't even complain. Not wven once.

“quite, I don’t wanna hear another complaint from you Elle” aniya saka lumabas sa aking suite.

Just before I could change my dress my phone beep for notification.

My lips form a smile as I open our group message

Kimmy Dora 👀🦊
“witches, Louise is back”
Oh she is?

Hani Bee 🍯🐝
“who?”
“what?”
“when?”
“where?”
“how?”

Napailing nalamang ako sa sunod sunod sunod na mensahe ni Hani.

“Really?” I replied before sliding down my dress

Isang taon din kaming hindi nagkita kita, except for Kian whom I see sometimes at the university.

Joe Nasbrother 👦👦👦
“where is she?”

Krystal Clear 💎
“pasaluuubbbooonnnggg”

Ano kayang sasabihin nila oag nalaman nilang dito ako sa London.

Hani bee 🍯🐝
“im sure Louise won’t be seeing you @krystal Clear puro ka pasalubong”

Krystal Clear 💎
“wow, coming from you @Hani Bee who keep asking her to bring back someone for you to became a boyfriend”

“You’re busted Hani” halakhak ko

Kian Lim-A
“who’s back and whose looking for a boyfriend?”

Yan! Lagot ka Hani.

“elle? Are you done?? Katok ni Mommy sa pinto ng aking Hotel Room.

“not yet Mom” sagot ko kahit ang totoo ay nakaupo nalamang ako at magsusuot ng heels.

“okay, take your time” ani Mommy

I let out a heavy sign as I stare a myself at the mirror.

I feel suffocated and controlled.
I just graduated from college, I was hoping that Mommy would stop controlling me after college, pero mas lumala pa.

She control everything I do.

What I should eat.

What I should wear.
