Destined to be forbidden

DESTINED TO BE FORBIDDEN

"Meet your step brother Aldrien, Althea." My mom calmly said while patiently waiting for me to fix my eyes at them. I sighed in irritation dahil naistorbo ang pagbabasa ko ng libro.

I stood and looked at the guy beside my mom. He's looking at me with his chinky eyes like mine. I wonder if whose his dad that probably my mom's boyfriend now that will soon to be her husband. Matagal na kasing biyuda si mommy. My dad dead 5 years ago because of a car accident.

Iritado ako ngayon dahil akala ko'y 'di na ipagpapalit pa ni mommy si daddy kahit patay na siya. Nagtatampo ako pero wala akong magawa. It's my mom's happiness, so who am I to stop her? It's better also on this situation para 'di ko na siya makitang lugmok pa dulot ng pagkamatay ni daddy. But I still don't fine with this, I just want to support my mom's happiness.

"Nice to meet you." Walang emosyon kong saad. He's offering his hand, asking for a shake hands so I did.

"Nice to meet you too."

Malamig ang pakikitungo ko sa kaniya pero mas malamig siya. Tss.

Bakit may pakialam ako? He's just an excess baggage to my life, including his dad.

"I hope you two will be close. I also hope that from now on, you will treat each other like a real sibling. Maiwan ko muna kayo, pupuntahan ko lang si Richard sa kusina." Nakangiting wika ni mommy bago naglakad paalis. I gritted my teeth when I heard her boyfriend's name.

Naiwan kaming dalawa sa sala. Well, I don't really care of him. Binalik ko nalang ang tingin ko sa librong binabasa and pretended that I didn't see him- that he didn't exist at all.

"Do you really treated the other people coldly and unwillingly, in that way like how you treated me earlier?"

Napataas ang isang kilay ko dahil sa tanong niya. So cold. Mukhang may katapat na rin ako rito sa bahay, ah?

"Hindi. I just really don't want to treay people nicely whom I don't like in my life, in our life. I don't want to be a two-face person so I want to he honest. I don't like you here as well as your dad. I just want to support my mom's happiness. That's all." I explained honestly, still fixing my eyes to the book I was holding.

He chuckled but I can feel that there's no humor on it.

"You think I like it to be here? No, I just followed my dad's order. The feeling is mutual, then. I don't like you too as well as your mom. Does that mean that we're compatible?" He asked playfully while playing his lips and still plastering his irritated smirk.

Hindi ako nagpatalo. I don't wanna be a loser here. I don't want to witness his victory.

"Pareho lang ang nararamdaman, compatible na? 'Di ba pwedeng, we're just stating our honest feeling and opinion in this situation? So, stop imagining things. Kung saan-saan napapadpad utak mo."

I left him dumbfounded after I said those words. I smirked more when I saw his loser face right after I left.

Tingin mo ba matatalo mo 'ko sa ganiyan? I don't think so.

The next day is like a hell for me right after I woke up in the morning when I remember that I live in the same roof with that annoying guy. Remember Althea, don't let that loser see your annoyed face. It will be his victory.

I went downstair. Mas lalong nasira ang araw ko nang makita si Aldrien na nagkakape sa dining table at doon pa sa high chair na parang hari kung makaupo! This man is really getting into my nerves by just watching his situation and move.
