Chapter Eighteen

 

 

“Mom, kilala niyo ba kung sino ang nagbigay nito?” Cheska asked her Mom, Monique when she was now opening the gifts she had received during her debut. Medyo marami-rami rin kasi siyang natanggap—a lot from his father’s clients of their corporation, the Torres Corp.

 

It was a painting of hers. Aaminin niya na maganda ang pagkakapainting ‘nun sa kanya. But the painter didn’t write his/her name on the painting kaya hindi niya alam kung sino ang nagbigay ‘non.

 

“Hindi ko alam anak e, wait a minute, may kukunin lang ako.” Sagot naman sa kanya ng Mommy niya at iniwan siya sa sala habang binubuksan ang iba pang mga regalo.

 

May napansin naman siyang isang maliit na piraso ng papel mula sa painting. Kinuha niya iyon at binasa ang nakasulat.

 

“To the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. An angel in disguise.” She murmured the words that were written on it.

“At ‘dun na nagtatapos ang tragic lovestory ninyo.”

“Tumigil ka nga, saka tigilan mo na ang kakatanong sa kin.” Cheska rolled her eyes at his co-fashion designer, Luigi Gerona.  At gaya niya, isa rin ito sa representative ng D&G para sa fashion show na dadaluhan nila sa France.

Ngayong araw, it was the second day for the fashion week of Mercedes-Benz, Mister Triple X. Nasa isang dressing room kasi silang dalawa ng isang hotel sa Paris kung saan sila sinabihan ni Mr. Giovanni na magstestay. Inaayos na nila ang mga damit na isusuot ng mga models mamaya sa fashion show.

“Baka naman kasi may explanation pa si Papa J. Hindi mo man lang hinayaang mag-explain. Kaloka ka gurl!” He reacted. Luigi was actually an openly gay. Ngayon nga lang niya ito nakilala dahil sa fashion show kung saan silang dalawa ang representative ng iisang company. She did not even expect na may iba pa palang Filipino designer ang nasa D&G.

Kinwentuhan niya kasi ito tungkol sa mga nangyari sa kanya sa Cebu—especially her fake marriage with Jackson. Madaldal kasi ang bakla kaya napakuwento tuloy siya. But it was fine for her. Naging kaibigan niya kaagad kasi si Lui. Kahit naman kasi madaldal ito, she felt at ease with her gay friend. Nakakatuwa rin kasi itong kasama and they get along easily too.

It was already four days later since she arrived at France. Pagkatapos kasi ng mga insidenteng iyon, she never contacted Jack nor his family anymore. Ayaw na niya kasing magkaroon pa ng ugnayan dito. Ayaw din niya patagalin pa ang pag-aacting bilang asawa ni Jack. Alam din niyang masasaktan sina Lola Rose at Lolo Pots sa biglaang pag-alis niya—but it was for their own good. Ayaw niyang magkaroon ng komplikasyon lalo’t pa na may girlfriend si Jack or for her, his lover, Jane Buenavista.

Tinapos na niya ang mga ugnayan niya dito at hihintayin na lang niya ang pagdidivorce nila after five months. She doesn’t want to get too attached to him anymore. Ayaw niyang masaktan na naman siya ulit.

 

“Hindi na niya kailangang mag-explain. Alam ko naman kung anong meron sa kanila.” She simply answered.
