SERIE VICIOSA UNO: Desire My Beauty

Prologue

I looked at her with my protesting face.

"But Mom...My life is here, hindi ko kayang manirahan sa... sa ganoong klaseng lugar." I said.

"What are you saying, Acquisha?" She said in a critical tone. "Are you trying to disagree with me?"

"I-i..."

"Anyway even though you don't want to go with me there, we will still leave." She shrugged.

"M-mom..." I called her.

I tried to convince her to just live here in Manila, but my mother already decided. Hindi ko siya napilit na dito na lang, at hindi niya rin naman ako pinayagan na maiwan dito.

This is the most difficult thing when the parents are separating, the child is the one who's suffering.

I hate my father for ruining our family.

I do not need to packed my things that night because my mother already appoint someone to fix my things.

Tomorrow morning is my worst day. Wala si Dad nung umalis kami, ni-hindi man lang ata niya alam na sa province kami lilipat. He really doesn't care about me.

I sighed as I looked at the window.

Nasa eroplano na kami patungo sa Cebu, where my Mother and Father's hometown.

My parents are both came from Cebu, lumipat lang sila sa Manila because of my father's work. Ever since they both settled in Manila- with me, they cut ties with anyone in Cebu. Nito lang ata na-contact ni Mommy ang pamilya niya sa Cebu.

"Hello, Alen asan ka na? Nandito na kami!" Halos pasigaw na iyong sabihin ni Mommy because of the noise.

I almost curse when someone bumped me!

"I'm sorry Miss!" Ani nung babae at tumatakbong lumapit sa lalaking hula ko ay kasintahan niya.

I averted my eyes when he kiss the girl.

"Ate!" I heard a shout coming from a far and saw my mother rose up from her seat.

"What took you so long?! I told you I don't want to wait here so long!"

Isinuot kong muli ang hawak kong earphones dahil naiingayan ako kay Mommy. She continue nagging my uncle--her brother.

"Oh! Mao ni Acquisha?" My brows knotted because I didn't understand what he said. (Ito na ba si Acquisha?)

"Yes. Come on, mamaya ka na mangamusta. Carry the luggage now." My mother said irritated.

"Nakasabot ba siya sa atong pulong? nganong wala ko niya tubaga?" My uncle said again but still I didn't understand a thing. (Nakakaintindi ba siya ng salita natin? bakit di niya ako sinagot?)

"Hindi kaya manahimik ka na. Where's the car you rented?" Tanong ni Mommy at inilibot ang tingin.

Tinuro ni uncle sa amin ang sasakyan bago naglakad papunta doon.

I almost winced at the look of it, okay I immediately judge the car. It looks like it would broke anytime soon.

Hindi ko na isinatinig ang reklamo ko, baka magalit pa sa akin si Mommy, although I know she judge it too.

Mas malala naman kasi si Mommy sa akin, she never let me clean the house, she never let me friends with anyone who's not on the same level as our family, she didn't even let me rode a public transportation! Laging may taga sundo at hatid, may bodyguard pa nga.

But I know from now on wala na lahat iyon, ang driver at bodyguard ko noon ay si Dad ang nagpapasweldo, si Daddy naman talaga ang gumagastos sa lahat, si Mommy ang pera niya sa trabaho ay laging binibili ng alahas at luxury bags, shoes and all!
