Demi's Invention °[KathNiel] ✓COMPLETE

XLIII- Family Night

🌺 Demi's Point of View:

Mom and dad finally returned. They were shocked to see me. I was still mad at Keam that I became angrier at mom too.

"Really mom? You know that I wanted to help planning your wedding! How could you do this? Ano ako, kaibigan? Business partner? Kakilala lang? Na papadalhan mo nalang ng invitation twenty days before the wedding?"I confronted her, releasing my suppressed emotion.

"Munchkins, we wanted to surprise you."

"Not all the time, I love surprises mom. I want to be the one who surprises others too. And this wedding, this means a lot to me. But now, I feel like I am not a part of it."umiiyak na sagot ko.

Mom tried to hold my hand but I ran away. Iyon 'yong totoong pakiramdam ko. Kaya nga sa sobrang galit ko, walang pagdadalawang isip na iniwan ko 'yong pangarap kong nakabitin pa patiwarik sa LA. I was crying while running away, I even bumped on Wyatt on my way out. I ignored him and continued running.

"Demi, stop."He called out when he reached me and held me by the shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"Hindi ko alam kung ano dapat 'yong maramdaman ko!"lumuluhang sambit ko matapos siyang harapin. "Ito 'yong pangarap ko para sa kanilang dalawa at alam nila 'yon! Why would they deprive me my happiness? I wanted to organize the wedding!"

"Hey, sorry. We all thought you'd be happy if it comes as a surprise. Gift 'yon ni tita at dad sa'yo."

"Nakakainis."anas ko nalang dahil napaisip akong hindi naman intensiyon nilang saktan ako. Wyatt's right. They just wanted to surprise me. Why am I always impatient about things? Sa halip na umunawa, laging puso at emosyon ko 'yong pinaiiral ko.

"Am I selfish, Wyatt?"tanong kong tumingala sa kanya, afraid he might say yes.

"You want an honest answer?"nakangising tanong niya. Napangiti ako. "What?"

"Yes. Be honest."

"You're not selfish, Demi. You're just too defensive, too afraid to be hurt."

"Is that—positive? Or negative?"

"I still love that about you. Is that positive?"he asked. There my heart is again, pumping too fast like it's chasing for something.

"What do you hate about me?"

"Oh baby. I don't know. I don't even have time to hate you."

Lihim akong napangiti sa sinabi niya dahil naaalala ko noon, kahit anong gawin ko, handang-handa siyang patawarin at unawain ako. Kasunod ng pagbabalik tanaw na 'yon ay ang pag-alala ng gabing wumasak sa puso, sa pagkatao at sa buhay ko.

"Bumalik na tayo sa loob?"yaya niyang tinanguan ko.

Dahil nakauwi na sina mom at dad, bumalik narin si Wyatt sa condo niya which is favorable for me. As for my bestfriend, I already have talked to her about what she did. She promised not to do the same thing again. I wish she will because she's never good at keeping promises. 

"Anak, we'll have a picnic dinner tonight. Gia arranged it and you know how sensitive she is so—"

"Mom, I will love to go."

Tumango siya. But she's smiling awkwardly so I wondered why. Oh—Of course I know what she meant. Gia will never leave his brother out in everything she organizes.

"Be nice, for your sister."Mom reminded.

Tsk. I have no choice but to say yes. Wala akong ginagawa sa bahay, wala akong bagong mga aklat na mababasa kaya umalis ako at nagpunta ng mall. Dumaan ako sa National Bookstore at naghanap ng magandang babasahin. I bought a three books, trilogy.
