Prank Gone Wrong (Contract Series #1) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 50

Chapter 50

"Just tell me and your Kuya's if you need anything, ha." I just smiled widely while talking to Kuya James on phone via zoom.

I appreciate it when he made an effort to talked to me, kamustahin ako kahit alam ko na napaka-busy niya sa work niya. Ayoko din naman maging sakit ng ulo sa kanya o dumagdag pa sa isipin ng pamilya ko. We had so much in our plate at ayokong isa pa ko makadagdag sa problema.

"Yes po."

"Do you still have groceries or restore food?" Tumango ako kahit alam ko namang bukod sa tubig at iba pang process food, wala naman ibang maayos at totoong pagkain sa condo ko.

Again, ayoko na iasa sa pamilya ko ang lahat ng pangangailangan ko. I actually finding for a job dahil medyo maluwag naman ang sched dahil kaka-start lang ng bagong semester.

Hindi naman nila 'ko responsibility. I'm old enough to stand on my own and create my own money to survive.

Akalain mo 'yon. Ang daming nangyari. Sino mag-aakala na magkakaroon ako ng sarili kong condo. Which is basically not mine dahil sila Dad ang nagbabayad non for me. I encourage them that I can stay on my old apartment but they told me that they want me to be safe while I'm not with them. Kaya wala na rin akong nagawa kundi sundin sila.

The sense of being independent and doing things alone is  fulfilling.

I just want to prove something in myself. I just want to make them proud.

Until now, I know that somehow, part of Dad wanted me to go abroad to pursue my dream in fashion design but I can't leave someone instantly. Ang pamilya ko, sila Aileen and especially si Mark. I will be selfish if I pursue my dream while I left someone in my own country. That would be unfair sa mga taong maiiwanan ko.

I and Dad agreed with one agreement that if ever I fails my studies in my previous course, which is non of my option (Bachelor of Computer Science). Wala akong magagawa kundi ang sumunod sa pinag-uutos nila. Sa ayaw at sa gusto ko, I will study abroad. I'm on my third year of college. Hindi pwedeng maaksaya ang lahat ng pinaghirapan ng dahil lang don. I was running for Laude. Which is I didn't expect at all, for me ginawa ko lang ang best ko, if ever that they will see it or not, at least I'd done my part.

Kaya pinag-iigihan ko lagi sa ginagawa ko. Ayokong mag-start na naman sa wala. Hanapin ang sarili na parang batang naliligaw.

I don't want to fail because who will love me 'pag nagkataon—who will be willing to stay to someone who can't even win. No one loves a loser. That might hurt, but in the end, truth really do hurts.

Gusto ko lang may mapatunayan sa kanila. Na kaya ko. Na hindi ko kailangan na lumapit para humingi ng tulong sa kanila.

"I will transfer something from your bank account."

"No, kuya. No need, I can handle."

"'Wag matigas ang ulo," tinaasan niya ko ng kilay. "I'll be back inside, break ko lang, e. Take care, bunso. Dalaw ka minsan kila Mom and Dad. For sure, namimiss ka na ng mga 'yon."

"Yes, Kuya. I will. Bye, take care."

"Love you," he said before ending the call.

"Love you, too, Kuya." I ended the zoom call and faced the position of Aileen and Chelsea.

"Ang swerte mo Kuya mo 'no. Spoiled brat girl." Habang kumakain siya ng pop corn, nakapatong ang paa sa glass table.

I rolled my eyes at her statement.

"Baba mo nga 'yan. Putulin ko 'yang paa mo," hampas ko ng malakas sa paa niya. Nakailang sabi na 'ko sa kanya na ibaba niya 'yon pero hindi talaga siya marunong makinig.
