Sleeping Ugly

CHAPTER 18

"Everyone give them arround of applause" nagpasimuno siyang pumalakpak at nagsimulang sumabay ang mga tao sa pagpalakpak.

She take off her eye mask and I can finally see her mean bitch face. She was glaring at me to death. She smirks and raise her right eyebrow.

Ano nanamang gulo ang gagawin niya ngayon?

She chuckles as she put the microphone closer to her mouth again.

"Ow don't worry Letisha... I'm not here to pull your hair again. I'm just here to tell you a congratulations" she said, sarcastically.

"CONGRATULATIONS LETISHA, YOU'VE BEEN CLOWNED" she laughs and clap her hands like a total psycho.

I was clowned? Why and By whom? Now I'm confused.

Winston holds my hand very tightly.

I look at her with full of confusion in my eyes.

"To Winston..." she speaks again.

What? Anong meron kay Winston?

"Job well done my love. You've finally succeed our deal after how many months of enduring with that ugly face" she laughs like a devil "and now that you've finally succeed our deal, you can finally dumped her already"

Tiningnan ko si Winston his eyes was full of guilt.

What's the meaning of this? Binitawan ni Winston ang kamay ko at dali dali siyang lumapit kay Nataly para agawin ang hawak nitong mikropono.

"Nataly stop! Anong gulo nanaman ba itong ginagawa mo?" Sabi niya kay Nataly.

Bumaba si Nataly sa stage at lumapit sa akin saka sinundan din ito ni Winston.

Winston suddenly freak out. Hindi ito mapakali, totoo ba ang pinagsasabi ni Nataly ngayon kaya siya nagkakaganyan?

"Aww my dear cousin, I pity you... so much. Congratulations you've been clowned by the one and only playboy Winston Andrew Sebastian" she let out a sigh.

May namumugto na mga luha sa aking mga mata. Tiningnan ko si Winston pero yumuko ito, he can't look at me straightly in the eyes.

Mas lalong lumapit si Nataly sa akin at hinahaplos-haplos ang aking buhok habang nagsimula nang bumuhos ang aking mga luha.

"The truth is Winston and I have a deal. I told him to make you fall inlove with him and dump you after that. Once he finally succeed it papayag na akong maging girlfriend niya. Crazy right? Ow my poor cousin you've been clowned. Just like what I said don't mess with me dahil sa akin ang huling halakhak" she laughs again like an evil and the people was flabbergasted about what she said.

Kiniyom ko ang aking kamao habang patuloy na bumubuhos ang aking mga luha. Hindi ako naniniwala. Hindi ito totoo. Mahal ako ni Winston, nararamdaman kong mahal niya ako.

Kumirot ang aking dibdib. Para akong sinaksak ng napakaraming matutulis na bagay dahil sa sakit na aking nararamdaman ngayon.

"Letisha" lumapit si Winston sa akin at hinawakan ang aking kamay pero agad akong bumitaw at umatras sa kanya.

"L-let me e-explain" his voice cracked.

Tears are coursing down on my cheeks. I closed my eyes and take a deep breath to make myself calm.

"Totoo ba? Totoo ba ang sinabi niya?" pumiyok ang aking boses.

"L-let me ex-"

"ANG SABI KO, TOTOO BA? TOTOO BA ANG SINABI NI NATALY? SIMPLENG TANONG LANG WINSTON BAKIT HINDI KA MAKASAGOT? A YES OR A NO WILL DO TO CLARIFY EVERYTHING" I fire out.
