PROLOGUE

Napangiti ako bigla nang makita sa ibabaw ng drawer ko ang isang 100% chili spray. How I got it and met the owner three years ago is a significant part of my life that I will never forget.

~Flashback~

I think whole day na akong nandito sa mall at ngayon ay wit (wala) na akong bet gawin. Bored na rin ako at palubog na rin ang araw kaya it's time to go home.

Gusto ko sanang dumiretso sa pub kaya lang ay may mga engkantong sunod nang sunod sa akin. Akala siguro nila ay hindi ko sila napapansin. They are my father's people. They were certainly given the directive to follow me around and inform him of what I did today.

Isang buong Linggo niya na ring ginagawa ito simula nang masangkot ako sa isang ‘dating issue’. Hindi naman iyon big deal dahil nasa tamang edad na ako para makipag-relasyon, but because he's a man, it's a huge thing. Yes, I'm seeing someone who is of the same sex as me. Pero, hindi pa nga kami ay inilayo na kami agad sa isa't isa.

Kaya ngayon, ito, buntot nang buntot sa akin ang mga tao niya! Takot kasi siyang masangkot na naman ako sa isang 'nakakahiyang' issue.

My dad anticipates that I'll change. He doesn't want the chairman of Velvet Clothing Corporation to be gay, though he is aware that I have no interest in taking over his role. I'm far too young to assume such a weighty duty and it would just cause me to have a headache.

Being a model for their clothing is already a valuable contribution I've made to their company. Aside from that, I'm having a great time onto what I'm doing. Is it possible for him to be content with that as well?

I sighed as I returned to reality.

“I'll head home now, you're free to go,” usal ko nang makarating ako sa parking area.

Pero, mukhang hindi sila naniniwala dahil hindi man lang sila natitinag sa kung saan sila nagtatago.

“You've been following me around, and I know you're all worn out now, just like me. So, let's get some rest.” I went inside my car following what I'd said.

It had been about five minutes when I saw them walking to their car. Finally, I can enjoy my independence!

Rather than going to the pub, I went to Marco's house. He's my new kalandian. Charot! He's actually a close friend and he's straight, hindi siya papatol sa akin.

“Oh, kay gandang binibini, napakakinis,” sabi pa ng isang tambay nang dumaan ako sa gilid nila at saka sila sumipol-sipol.

Well, I've worn plain black T-shirt and khaki shorts earlier, but now, I'm dressed in a red floral dress, I'm wearing a red stiletto and a blonde curly wig. I enjoy dressing up in these girls' garments because it makes me feel like a real woman.

But, yes, I'll have to change my clothes and put on a wig to trick people into thinking I'm someone else. I'm a famous model, and I'm afraid that someone will notice me and ask for a picture.

Naku, paano na lang kung kumalat ang mga litrato at makita ni Daddy? Lagot ako at pati na rin ang mga tauhan niya dahil sabi ko uuwi na ako, pero ito pala at gumagala-gala pa. Tss. Ayokong nakokonsensya.
