Trapped By The Playboys: On Going.

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

.

Days went fast. Here I am, with my cousins, taking a picture at the wooden bench at the third floor of our house. Masaya kami. I don't know if I'm genuinely happy. Because Clark is bothering my mind. All I know, that he is so childish. If he's going to used me to bring back Nathalie. Then I'm sorry for him, that's not going to work on me. I'm not born to be used by anyone.

People are just being desperate to get what they wanted. Even using people. All they think is about the things they want, not thinking what are the consequences they can get in return. Like hurting people.

Ngumiti ako sa camera while Yoo Nah are slightly hugging me. Umakbay ako sa kanilang dalawa ni Eliyah at ngumiti sa Camera. Muntik nang mahulog yung phone ni Elijah kaya nagtawanan kami. Nakuha rin yun sa picture. We look happy. Nakatingin kami ni Eliyah at tumatawa habang si Yoo Nah naman ay nakaturo sa baba.

"This is amazing! Who shoot this?" Namamangha sabi ni Eliyah. Si Yoo Jin ang kumuha non kaya binatukan siya ni Elijah. We celebrated the Christmas happy and contented. I received a lot of gifts, yung apat galing sa pinsan ko. Nagtatampo pa nga ako kay Darwin kasi wala siyang regalo. The rest from my Tita's and Tito's, my ninongs and ninangs. Buti nakabili ako bago sila dumating. I almost forgot about it because of Clark! That scumbag! Naalala ko nanaman!

I sat on the bench and watch the full moon. I borrowed Eliyah's camera to take a photo of it. Kahit araw-araw kong nakikita ang buwan, I can't help but to adore it repeatedly. Tumingin ako sa mga pinsan kong nagsisibukasan ng regalo. Mamaya na yung akin dahil tinatamad pa ako. Clark texted me taht time, when he left.

Clark:

I'm sorry for what happened. I just really can't understand it but I'm trying. Sorry again.

I didn't reply. Why would I? I can't accept his reason. Now I fully understand Nath. Maliliit na bagay kinagagalit ni Clark. Nathalie also said that he's not just hurting her emotionally but physically. I shivered at the thought. Biglang may umakbay sa'kin na nakapagbalik sa huwisyo ko. It's Darwin.

"Hey! Tulala ka? Problem?" Ngumiti ako at umiling. He then smirk at me.

"Don't be sad okay? Bibilan kita ng regalo. Baka mamaya umiiyk ka na niyan." Pang-aasar niya kaya sinuntok ko siya, he groaned in pain. Natawa ako at umiling.

"Baliw ka, hindi yun noh! Di ako ganon kababaw para isipin ang hindi pagreregalo mo." Paliwanag ko kaya natawa siya. Sumandal ako sa balikat niya at humikab. Then we heard a click of camera. Napatingin kami sa likod at nakita si Eliyah. Ugh! The photoshoot addict!

"Gagawin ko tong frame at lalagay ko sa room mo." She winks at me. Tumayo ako at tiningnan. Wow! We look like a couple there watching the moon. Saktong sakto na kita ang moon kaya lalong gumanda. Nagyabang pa siya sakin ng kung ano ano kaya napapairap na lang ako. We're glad that tita Yna teach them tagalog. Naku kung hindi baka hindi namin makausap tong si Yoo Nah at Yoo Jin. Si Eliyah naman at Elijah, may accent pagnag tatagalog at english. Si Elijah mahirap intindihin minsan sa bilis magsalita ng english kaya buti marunong din tong magtagalog. I know how to speak Russian kaya kapag may kaaway ako, yun ang sinasalita ko para di nila maintimdihan. Tinatawanan nila ko pero di nila alam minumura ko na sila.

Si mama ang nagturo sa'kin para kapag nameet ko ang papa ko may alam ako. KAPAG lang naman.
Natapos ang pasko na puro pagpipicture ang ginawa naming pamilya. Nakakainggit nga at kumpleto sila habang dalawalang kami ni mama. I saw her looking at me sadly when she saw me watching Yoo Nah's family picture.

"Ayos lang ma. Sanay na ko." I reassured her so she smile, I smiled back too.

Its already 4:00am when we finished. Nahihilo ako dahil pinainom ako ni Darwin ng tatlong baso ng whiskey. Kahit pilitang tanggi ko sa pait pinagtulungan pa ako ng lima. Muntik pa akong matalisod sa hagdan. Nagsitawanan ang loko.
