A Love To Remember

Chapter 45: Broken Trust

Chiara

"Wow, for the first time in history, hindi ka nag two-piece, anyare sa'yo?" Eros asked while chuckling the moment na lumabas ako ng banyo, wearing a plain black one-piece.

I rolled my eyeballs at him at inismiran siya, as much as I want to wear my two-piece, I can't. May mga pasa ako sa tiyan, 'di ba? I just can't flaunt it, tsaka, walang effect kapag lalagyan ko ng concealer 'to, mawawala rin naman sa oras na maligo na ako sa pool.

After our moving up ceremony earlier, they decided to throw a victory party for me and Alysse. Night swimming tsaka barbeque party dito sa resort owned by Tita Kate's husband so technically, kami lang ang tao dito ngayon since they closed it for us to celebrate today.

"Aly is wearing a two-piece." Eros told me habang naglalakad kami palabas sa hotel at pabalik sa cottage kung asan sila, tumaas naman ang kilay ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

"And so? Stop being a pervert, we're your cousins." sagot ko, rather, I'm your cousin lang dapat but I can't tell him that, not for now.

"Green minded, I'm not being a pervert, my flings are way better compared to the both of you. Incest,damn." wika niya na ikinangiwi ko, yuck, "Tsaka, what im saying is that.. well, I always caught you looking at her tuwing kasama niya sina Tito Aga at Tita Lea, are you jealous?" he asked kaya napatigil naman ako sa paglalakad as I look back to face him.

"Me, jealous? Of course not, duh, why would I?" yes I'm jealous Eros, really-really jealous. He grinned as he nudge at me tsaka inakbayan ako.

"Deny pa more, couz. Kilala kita so don't me, your facial expressions says it all." natatawang ani niya, napailing na lang ako at umirap.

"Whatever basta, I'm not." I denied, malapit na kami sa gawi nila and from here, I can see Alysse na sinusuklayan ni Lea ang buhok niya and Eros is right, she's wearing a red two-piece bikini.

Well, I'm sexier than her. Kung wala lang talaga 'tong mga pasa ko, my body and figure is way better.

"Chiara, tara na! Maligo tayo!" she beamed upon seeing me, tumango lang ako at matipid na ngumiti as the both of us went to the pool, bbrr, ang lamig ng tubig.

"You know how to swim?" she asked, sasagot pa sana ako when my line of sight caught a familiar woman walking towards our direction with Mamita. It's Mommy.

"Teka lang ha.." wika ko, not minding what the heck Alysse is saying tsaka umahon ako as I walk towards their direction, to greet them.

"Chiara! Congratulations darling but, why didn't you tell me na ngayon pala ang graduation mo?" tanong niya at akmang makikipag-beso sa' kin but since I'm soaking wet, 'di niya na lang ginawa.

"Sorry Mommy, I assume you're busy kasi kaya 'di na ako nagabala pa." I reasoned out, tho it's really my attention na huwag siyang sabihan tungkol dun.

"But when it comes to you, hindi ako busy, okay? Remember that." she said, tumango lang ako at ngumiti.

"Osiya, tara dun. Chiara, wear your robe, magkakasakit ka niyan mamaya." sabi sakin ni Mamita as the three of us went to the cottage kung asan silang lahat ngayon.

"Oh? Ba't nandito iyan?" Tita Kate asked ng makasalubong siya namin, bitter rin to kay Mommy eh, 'no?

"Your mouth, Kate. She's your niece's mother so dapat lang na nadito siya to celebrate with us." masungit na sagot ni Mamita sa kanya at parang gusto ko namang masuka dahil dun.

My mother? A woman like her? No thanks. I'd rather choose Lea than her, she's ridiculously insane.

Wait.. funny to think kung pano ko sabihin noon na mas gugustuhin ko pang tumira sa kalsada kesa tawagin siyang sarili kong Ina. Now, upon remembering it, I can't help but to cringe.
