Chaotic Marriage (CEO Series #1)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I fixed myself and look at my reflection. I am wearing a maong shorts, crop top red off shoulder and a sandals. I just put lip and cheek tint.  And lay down my light brown hair naturally. Mas lalo akong pumuti dahil sa suot ko. Is this fine?

I feel more nervous when manang Sonia knocked a while ago and said that they are already here. I inhaled deeply. It will be fine, Bella Azalea.

Bumaba na ako at nakita kong kumpleto na sila sa harap ng hapag. Daddy is sitting in the middle. Mommy and Kuya Zach is at his right side while at the left is Hayes, Tito Xaviar, Tita Evelyn, and Scarlett.

Napatingin sila lahat sakin. 

"Good afternoon, Tito and Tita." bati ko.

"Good afternoon, hija. You look so gorgeous." nakangiting sabi ni Tita.

I shyly smiled and sit beside Mommy in front of Hayes. Sumulyap lang ako sakanya na nakatingin lang sa kanyang plato.

"Let's eat first before anything else." Daddy said.

Pinahanda na lahat ng pagkain at kumain kami ng tahimik. We are having late lunch. And now they are serving the dessert.

"We thought about having Hayes as her escort, is that fine?" Tita Evelyn suggested.

What?! If I have an escort for my debut, it should be Kuya Zach. Napatingin ako kay Kuya Zach na nasa kabila ni mommy. He looks disappointed but it looks like he expected this to happen.

"That's a good idea. It is her debut and engagement party naman." pagsang-ayon naman ni mommy. Nakita ko na halos lahat sila ay tumango bilang pagsang-ayon. 

"Is that alright, Hayes?" Mommy asked.

Napatingin siya kay Mom and then me. 

"Yeah." he just said.

Halos sila Mommy lang ang nag-usap. Wala akong ginawa kung hindi tumango at ngumiti. Minsan akong napapatingin sakanya pero kagaya ko ay ganon lang din ang ginagawa pero kung minsan siyang tinatanong ay napakaikli naman ng sinasagot.

Bigla siyang tumayo. 

"Restroom." pagpapaalam niya.

"Bea, samahan mo si Hayes." I looked at mom. Alam nanaman ni Hayes kung saan dahil dito naman sila madalas ni Kuya Zach sa bahay dati.

Mommy is doing this on purpose. "Uh.." Nakakahiya naman kung tatanggi ako at rude kung sasabihin kong alam na niya naman. "Okay po." I said and stood up.

Nauna akong maglakad sakanya. Ramdam ko ang pagsunod niya sa likod ko. Pero ng makaalis kami ng dining area ay nauna na siya sakin at siya na mismo ang dire-diretsong pumasok sa cr.

See? He knows where. Should I wait him here? Or should I go back already? Sa huli ay hinintay ko nalang siya. Ten minutes na ang nakalipas. Katukin ko na kaya? Kakatok na sana ako nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at siya ang bumungad.

Nanlaki agad ang mata ko dahil sa lapit ko sakanya. "Uhm, sorry a-akala ko kasi-" hindi ko na tinuloy ang sasabihin ko dahil matalim ang tingin niya. Umatras ako para bigyan siya ng daan at dahan-dahan na yumuko. Nakakahiya.

"You really know how to pissed me off, huh." he said and walked away.

"Sorry.." I uttered even he did not hear it.

Pagbalik ko ay naupo nalang ako sa pwesto ko kanina. "Hayes, why won't you date Bea? Para magkakilala pa kayo ng husto." Tita Evelyn suggested.

"It is December mom, I am graduating. We are busy with school works." He contradicted.
