DS #2: Hating The Arrogant Billionaire

Chapter 20

Kinakabahan ako habang tinitingnan ang sarili ko sa salamin. I'm done with my make up, light lang 'yong nilagay ko kasi hindi ko carry. Wearing my white off shoulder dress paired with my white heels. I can say that, I look so beautiful tonight. I pick up my pouch and the gift from my table.

"Sasagutin ko na siya ngayon." Napatili ako. My hands are close habang mahinang tumatalon, "Naiisip ko pa lang, kinikilig na ako, eh," sabi ko sa sarili. I composed myself. I breathe in and out. Baka pulang-pula na naman ang mukha ko.

Bumaba na ako. My mom and dad are downstairs waiting for me to come out. Naririnig ko ang pamimilit ni Silver kay mom na sumama sa 'kin pero sabi ko hindi muna ngayon. Ayokong masira ang gabi na 'to.

Lumawak ang ngiti ni mom at dad habang tinitingnan akong naglalakad patungo sa kanila. They can't utter a word at nakaturo lang sa 'kin.

"Oh, wow! Parang pupunta ka lang ng prom. I still remember when you were in high school," my dad said. Sobrang lawak ng ngiti niya. Mom's smiling proudly too. Natahimik naman si Silver. Sean is not here.

"Ate, you look like a princess," Silver said. Kinurot ko ang pisngi niya.

"So, let's go now? Honey, we'll get going." Paalam ni dad kay mom.

I kissed her cheeks before waving goodbye. Their gifts are on dad hands. Napangiti ako. Special huh? Hindi ba puweding ako na lang ang magdala?

"Take care both of you!" mom shouted.

Inakbayan kaagad ako ni dad, "How is he?" he asked. Alam ko kung sino ang tinutukoy niya.

"Dad, he's fine. Sasagotin ko na siya ngayon," matamis kong sagot sa kaniya. My lips curve as I glance at him. Deretso lang ang tingin niya.

"Good, because you should get yourself a boyfriend, Sierra. You're getting old not younger," he said seriously. His lips went straight. Pagdating namin sa harapan ng kotse ay pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto. We used Phyton's car. Ang pangit daw kasi ng kotse namin.

"Aren't you against with my decision?" I asked and stared at him. His forehead furrowed. My dad is not that old and he look so handsome. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay habang hinihintay ang sagot niya.

Dahan-dahan siyang umiling, "No, of course not. Why would I? Since college I was always telling you to get a boyfriend, to enjoy your college life," he rolled his eyes. I laughed, "But you always choose to study all day long!" he told me. All of those are true. Pinipilit ako lagi ni dad na magkaroon ng boyfriend para malaman kung ano daw ang pakiramdam nito at parang maging handa ako kapag nagkaroon na ako ng asawa. For future purposes ika nga.

"Dad, you're starting again. That was long ago." Tumawa kaming dalawa bago kami nagdesisyon na umalis na lulan ng kotse. Hindi ko talaga maiwasang kabahan. Sasagotin ko na siya ngayon. Malamang kakabahan talaga ako.

Nagtaka ako kung bakit lingon ng lingon si dad sa 'kin. My brows lifted.

"Ganiyan na ganiyan din ang mom mo bago niya ako sagotin," sambit niya. Sobrang tamis ng ngiti niya. It feels like he is still on his 20's, "Halata sa mukha niya na kinakabahan kayo. It's okay, you can do it."

Napayuko ako sa kamay ko naglalaro. Ilang ulit akong huminga ng malalim. Siguro dala lang ng excitement at kaba.

Phyton texted me. Maghihintay daw siya sa labas ng gate nila. The party is held inside their mansion and extended until the backyard which is hindi pa ako nakakapunta.

"Dad, how do you deal with your ex?" I asked. Nag-aalangan pa ako ng una. I think man's ex is worst than woman's.

"I don't care about exes. I offer them friendship?" he shrugged, "I sometimes send them away and say sorry for what I've done because I am crazily in love with your mom and she was jealous back then," he stated. He chuckled remembering things. Napanguso ako. Gagawin din kaya 'yon ni Phyton para sa 'kin? Pero kasi if Yuan were going to accept the fact that she's already his ex. I'm okay with that.
