Sitio Series 3: Scheming List

Chapter 34

Sa hindi kalayuan ay natanaw ko si Mercedes na nakikipaghalikan sa tagong parte ng punong mangga. I grimaced, Ernesto's family is okay aside from Mercedes. She's a bitch, I don't really like her attitude mahilig siyang manggulang at akala mo'y kanya ang mundo.

I glanced away noticing that their house isn't open. Umalis sila? I waited for hours but nothing happened kaya't napagpasiyahan ko na lamang maghintay sa dati naming tagpuan. Into the calm fields and trees.

Humuhini ang mga ibon tulad ng dati'y masarap ang simoy ng hangin. Nakakakalma, walang bahid ng kung anong polusyon. While waiting for the man I'm excited to see I texted him to see me on our secret place. Napatingala ako habang pinagmamasdan ang kalangitan, itinaaas ang mga kamay animo'y inaabot ang kung ano roon.

When I finished studying I want him and I to lived here at their peaceful place. Nakakasama na sa syudad parang paulit-ulit nalang ang nangyayari sa buhay ko tuwing naroon ako. After spending hours on school I'll then go to bar where I'm often seen partying and after that go home on our mansion. Na madadatnan kong abala ang mga magulang ko sa negosyo na nakakalimutan na akong asikasuhin..

A question is still planted on my mind. Why do some rich people kept on working to the point they'll forget that they have a child to take care of?

"A-Ang ganda naman dito!" A voice caught my attention. Nangunot ang noo kong napatayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa ilalim ng manga. A woman--a face of an angel, full of innocence ran on the field barefooted. "Wow!" She swirled, her hair is dancing with the cold breeze of wind.

Mas lalo akong natulos sa kinatatayuan ng lapitan siya ng lalaking kilalang-kilala ko. He held her waist and they dance without music only their laughter's were the one to be heard. I froze at the sight, what is fucking happening?!

Ernesto is with another woman! Looking so happy while I was here staring at them full of sorrow. I thought Ernesto and I had the mutual feelings.. Akala ko..

I saw how he kissed the girl forehead that made my heart ache. "Mas maganda ka Celia.." The girl blushed.

She tip toed and kissed Ernesto's lips that made him lose his balance. The girl laugh, "sinasagot na kita Ernesto.. Payag na akong maging tayo,"

A small sound escape on my mouth, the pain was slowly scattering on my heart and head that made me want to cry loudly.. Ernesto.. Ernesto is slowly killing me with her..

I shouldn't have known.

"But you like me right?! We like each other! Don't use that woman.. Sasama ako sa iyo! Sasama ako, are you thinking about my status? My wealth? I can leave that all behind! Sasama ako sa iyo!" I desperately said while crying on the very same place. The fields were wet because of the rain.

Ernesto stared me with emotionless eyes,"parang kapatid na kita, Karina.."

"No! Sinasabi mo lang iyan para lumayo ako! Cut this crap! I know this! I calculated every possibilities when the time comes! And here it is! Stop pretending and acting we're on a damn telenovela! Hindi natin masasagot ang lahat kung pilit lang nating sasaktan ang mga sarili natin! We can damn run away and.. And.. And it's problem solve!" Giit ko pero umiling siya, bakas sa mukha nito ang kapaguran sa pag-uusap nito.

Mahal niya ako.. Alam ko iyon, siguro ginagawa niya lang ito para.. Para lumayo ako dahil hindi siya tanggap ng pamilya namin?

Ernesto sighed, "una sa lahat hindi ko alam saan mo nakuha ang ideyang may relasyon tayong dalawa.." My breath hitched, "kung may relasyon man tayo iyon ay ang pagiging magkaibigan at magkapatid.. Itinuturing kitang nakakabatang kapatid Karina.." I shooked my head multiple times as my heart contracted in pain. It's true, I only said he's my boyfriend because I was thinking in fucking advance. I wanted him, I want him to love me as much as I love him.."Kaya tigilan mo na ito.."
