Dad took a deep breath and massage his forehead.

"Dad, that is not JUST a bag! I already bought my whole outfit just to partnered to that bag!" I once again pointed my finger to it. "I waited for almost six weeks and after they finally released the final model, someone has already purchased it??"

Narinig ko ang mahinang pagtawa ng lalaki sa likod ni Daddy na kanina ay nagpepresent lang. Pero hindi ko pinagtuunan ng pansin ‘yon at agad na humarap ulit kay Dad.

"Please, Dad, buy that bag for me? I need that to complete my outfit." I said with my puppy eyes.

Dad heavily sighed and open his eyes.

"I'm sorry for this scene, can you give that to her? She will never leave my side without having that. I'll just pay you three times than its original price." Dad said that made me smile widely as I walk towards the woman who was holding MY bag and snatch it from her.

I know that's so rude to do but I'm still a bit irritated.

Inalis ko lahat ng mga gamit niya roon at ipinatong yon sa ibabaw ng lamesa.

I blow my Dad a kiss before taking my leave and let them continue their meeting.

"When I say I get all the things I wanted, I mean this." Nakangising sabi ko at itinapon sa basurahan na nakita ko ang shoulder bag na dala ko kanina pagkatapos kong ilipat sa bago kong baby ang mga gamit na laman non.

Kahit lipstick, phone at powder lang naman ang laman non.

I am Imelda Romuáldez , 24 years old. I am just enjoying my life before Dad pass me the company.

Don't ask about my Mom, she's a bîtch.

"Imelda! Mygod papagalitan na naman ako ng Daddy mo kapag hindi kita naiuwi nang matino niyan eh!" Tessa said before pulling me out of the dance floor.

"Stop it, Tessa! Daddy don't give a dåmn about me! I'm just a mere person who's in charge of taking over the company after he dìes!" Natatawang sabi ko bago kunin ang shot glass na may lamang hard liquor at tunggain iyon.

Napangiwi ako sa pait ng lasa non. Shít.

"You know what, I know it's a bad idea to grant your request of coming here! You're wasted again!"

I chuckled.
"You don't have any idea what kind of waste I am."

Bumuntong hininga siya bago ako alalayan sa braso dahil sa biglaang pagtayo na ginawa ko.

"Come on, iuuwi na kita! Kinakabahan ako sayo!"

Inirapan ko lang siya at nagpatianod nalang dahil lasing na rin naman ako.

The path we're taking is shaky. It's so dizzy. I feel dizzy.

Until I bump onto something hard.

Napahawak ako sa noo ko bago mapamura at tingalain kung ano yon.

"What the fûck—"

Isang lalaking may kulay brown mga mata ang nakatingin sa akin at halata rin ang irita sa mukha.

Napangiwi ako nang hilahin ako ni Tessa pagkatapos niyang humingi ng pasensya ron.

"Why are you apologising?? It was his fault! Let me give him a lesson. Hindi niya ba ako kilala?!"

"Shut up, and just walk, Imelda!" Napipikon na sabi niya.

Umirap nalang ako bago muling lingunin ang lalaking yon. Nakaupo na siya sa isa sa mga couch don at may hawak na scotch na kasalukuyan nyang binubuksan.

I raised my middle finger at him which obviously surprised him.

"Imelda ano ka ba! Bakit bigla bigla kang namamakyu!" halata sa boses ng kaibigan ko na siya na ang nahihiya sa inaasal ko.
