My Karma Stipulation

Chapter 2 - Decision Will Still Remain

TRIGGER WARNING :: Harassment

"Happy birthday, Risha!" The woman gave me a kiss on my cheek. She also handed me a Gucci bag as her present. According to her presence, she looks like she's already in the 40's or 50's. Mom is a friend with her, I guess.

"Thank you," I simply replied back. All of my visitors are actually greeting me. Gairel, Drina, Victoria and Gwen. All of them are here except for Zara since she's on the Vigan.

I was kind of somber because she is not here, but then I remember Zara greeted me on the voice message so I feel okay now.

"Happy birthday, ate! As always you look so gorgeous!" Rianne said as she complimented me with her smile, giving me a thumbs up as well. Nakasalubong ko siya sa party ko. Sa tingin ko ay mayroon siyang hinihintay dito. I just rolled my eyes as I walked past on her then ignored her.

I'm wearing my blue v-neck sequin formal dress. It's actually what my parents wants me to wear for my birthday party. Of course, it's fine for me to wear this. After all, this dress is kind of good looking and this dress fits me so perfectly.

"Ikaw birthday girl, ah! May tinatago ka pala sa amin, ah!" Victoria approached me as she wrapped her hands around my left arm. Am I her prince charming or something? Tsk! Umarangkada na naman itong gagang 'to.

"Sabi ng kapatid mo na si Rianne ay ikakasal ka na raw?! Totoo ba 'yun? Grabe! For real?! Oh my god! Ang isang Risha ay magpapakasal na!" What the fuck?

So Rianne told them, huh? Kahit kailan talaga ang daldal ng batang iyon! "I-I was planning to tell all of you, but I--"

"Oh my god, Risha! So totoo nga?!" Victoria started to scream out of the blue. Fuck! Will you please shut up? I'm not fucking done yet.

"It's a force marriage, Vic! And yes, I'm getting married soon so I'm planning to break it down! Ayaw ko pang ikasal, Vic! Kailangan ko munang makilala 'yung lalaking papakasalan ko. Isa pa, baka pareho kaming dalawa na ayaw pang magpakasal. He might help me to break it down or something and--"

"Sinong hindi papayag sa'yo?! I mean, duh! Look at yourself, girl! You're so hot and gorgeous! Baka nga kapag naging lalaki ako, ikaw na ang gusto kong pakasalan!"

Hindi sulit ang teenager life ko kung papayag na ako kaagad sa kasal na 'yan! Amputa! Sana madisgrasya 'yung mga Isles family nang hindi na sila matuloy sa birthday party ko! Baka sakaling matauhan sila kapag nadisgrasya sila.

Victoria suddenly shooked my arm. She also pointed her index finger on my parents' table. I looked at where it is and I saw how they are smiling with someone's family. I looked through upon them and they looks so rich to judge. They're so expensive like they know their standards very well. Iyon na siguro ang Isles family.

"Tawag ka ng parents mo, girl! Mukhang 'yan na 'yung pamilya ng pakakasalan mo!" I just shrugged it off instead of getting mad at her.

"Happiest birthday ulit, girl! Goodluck sa marriage, ah! Sana nga ikasal ka na talaga!" At siya ay lumakwatsa na pagkatapos niyang isigaw iyon. Nagsimula na akong maglakad patungo sa lamesa ng parents ko.

Fuck you, Vic! Sana tumanda kang dalaga! Hindi ko alam kung ano ang trip mo ngayong birthday ko! Kaibigan ba talaga kita? Inamo.

"Meet our gorgeous daughter, Risha Xandra Tanquile. Our soon to be a model on France. She is our dearest first daughter. We're hoping that your son of yours has a interest to love her dearly." Who said I will be a model on France soon? There's no way! I wanted to be a flight attendant together with Zara, duh! It's our dream together.
