Heiresses to Gangsters

Chapter 38: Best friends

CHRIS

"Hi we meet again."

Lumingon ako para makita kung kanino nanggaling ang boses na pamilyar sa akin.

Hindi na ako nagulat nang makita ko sila Bea at Sohe na kumakaway. I felt relieved when I saw them and kind of sad when I saw one person missing.

Sohe removed the lollipop from her mouth. Still the candy lover, I see. "Hi Chris! Welcome back!"

I waved awkwardly. "Hi."

Bigla silang yumakap sakin, "We missed you!"

Niyakap ko sila pabalik, "Me too." Naghiwalay na kami.

"So, where's...?" I didn't continue because I knew that they know who I'm talking about.

Nagkatinginan silang dalawa, "Busy kasi siya kaya hindi siya nakapunta. Hayaan mo, itetext ko siya mamaya para makapag reunion naman tayo! For now, gala muna tayo!" Hinala ako ni Bea habang sumunod lang sa amin si Sohe.

I'm glad to be back.

Sinampal niya ako sa kaliwang pisngi, sa sobrang lakas napabaling ako sa kanan. "Bitch! Ikaw sumira ng brand new dress ko, ano?!" Galit na galit niyang bulalas.

Gusto ko siyang gantihan pero wala akong magawa, hindi pwede. Not when my 'dad' is here.

"Tsk, how should I know? Hindi ko naman kasalanan kung bakit amoy dog poop 'yang pabango mo kaya nginatngat ng daga." I rolled my eyes. Sayang, hindi niya pa nakikita yung nilagay kong dog poop sa closet niya. Yung dress pa talaga yung una niyang nakita. Sabagay, nakalagay naman yun sa kama niya kaya napansin niya agad.

"What?! Isusumbong kita kay daddy!"

I smirked. "You haven't seen your closet yet."

Nanlaki yung mata niya. "Lagot ka talaga!" Tumakbo siya.

The girl who slapped me a while ago was my younger step-sister. Isa lang naman siyang anak ng isang kabit. That's right, my dad had an affair. The reason why my mom comitted suicide. Hindi lang iyon, my mom also had an affair.

Naalala ko tuloy si Andrew. He became my boyfriend a year ago. I haven't had the time to introduce him with my parents because they're both busy. And when the time came and I introduced him. My mom got weird and awkward, same with Andrew. It turns out that anak pala ng kabit ni mom si Andrew. Dad was so mad he did everything to break us apart but we didn't. When my mom died and I broke up with him and the rest is history.

Maybe that's why I'm so bitter. Inalalabas ko na lamang ang galit ko sa barkada. I can't accept the fact that my dad had another child with a different woman and my mother also had an affair. And what's worst is seventeen years nila iyon tinatago. Hindi ko naman sila masisisi, their marriage is arranged. They didn't even had a child. Kaya noong mamatay si mommy dito na tumira sa mansyon ang kabit ni dad ganun na lamang ako itrato ng mag-ina.

Well, that's how humans are.

Dinner time. I hate this time the most. Kasi makakasabay ko sila kumain. Gusto ko sanang magstay dito sa kwarto pero hindi na ko bata kaya bumaba na ako ng hagdan at dumeretso sa hapag-kainan. There I saw Vanessa and her mom, Winslett.

Plastik na ngumiti si Winslett, "Hi, dear! You're right on time!" Nginitian ko siya pabalik kahit gusto kong itaas yung middle fonger ko. The hardships of being a good girl. Kailangan mo makisama.
