A Beautiful Mess

CHAPTER 1

Belle's Point of View

"Hello Tati!!" Agarang sigaw ko pagka-pasok ko sa coffee shop kung saan prenteng naka-upo si Tatiana habang hinihintay ako. 

Napa-tingin naman ang mga iilang tao na nasa loob ng shop sa ginawa kong pag-sigaw habang si Tatiana naman ay pinan-lakihan ako ng mga mata at kinalaunan ay napa-iling din. 

Alanganin na lang akong ngumiti sa mga taong napa-tingin sa akin at daglian na akong pumunta sa kinauupuan ni Tatiana. 

"Nakaka-hiya ka talaga kahit kailan Belle Catastrophe." Naiiling na pahayag ni Tatiana sa akin ng maka-upo ako. Nag-peace-sign naman ako sa kaniya. 

Meet my super duper gorgeous best friend, Tatiana Amber Castillo. She's been my best friend since ages ago. We've been together through thick and thin. Mag-kasama kami sa lahat ng drama namin sa buhay. We have each other's back and yes, I'm so lucky to have her. 

We have different personality. Ako 'yong tipo ng happy-go-lucky, habang si Tatiana naman ang total opposite ko. She's a serious type of person. She used to be the mature one between the two of us at ako naman iyong tipo na pasaway. I'm a total bratinella. I love parties. I love to go bar hopping. I'm a total party animal. I'm the wild one, while Tatiana is the tamed one. 

We're total opposite but we love each other. She's my sister from another mother and I'm hoping that we could truly be a sister in the near future. 

You know what I mean? Ciel, my twin brother, and my best friend together. I was secretly hoping for them to be together but I do think Tatiana doesn't have an eye for Ciel. Paano ko nasabi? We have been best friends since we were young but I never saw Tatiana talk to my twin brother. She never even look at him nor got attracted to him. 

Hindi naman ugly 'yong kapatid ko, well he looks like a monkey when he's mad LOL. But honestly, Ciel is one of those handsome creatures in our school way back then. He's an ultimate heartrob. Ang daming nagkaka-gusto sa kaniya at eto ako, secretly hoping na isa sa mga babaeng nagkaka-gusto sa kapatid ko si Tatiana. 

But no! She doesn't even bother to look at him. Hindi rin nag-aabalang mag-tanong si Tatiana sa akin about my twin brother. Halatang wala siya'ng interest. 

Pero hindi ko rin naman masisisi etong best friend ko. Sino bang magkaka-interest sa tao nga pero mala-robot naman kung kumilos. Yup! My twin brother is an ice-like person. Malamig pa sa malamig. He shows no emotions at all. Wala naman siyang disorder, but we don't know why he's like that. 

Or maybe, hindi lang talaga siya showy na tao. 

But anyway, I'm still secretly rooting for them. Who knows right? Maybe someday, they will find their way to each other, and I swear, I'll be the happiest woman on Earth if that happens!

"Anong oras ang usapan natin Belle Catastrophe?" Siryosong tanong ni Tatiana sa akin. Ngumuwi naman ako. Eto na naman ang motherly attitude ng aking best friend. "10?" Aniko habang alanganing naka-ngiti sa kaniya. "At anong oras na?" She asked again as she looks at her wrist watch. "SORRY NA TATI! SI CIEL KASI AYAW AKONG PAALISIN! ALAM MO NAMAN KUNG GANO KA-ABNORMAL YUNG KAKAMBAL KONG YUN 'DI BA?!" Sagot ko sa mangiyak-ngiyak na boses. 

My God! Nakaka-takot talaga minsan itong si Tatiana, lalo na kapag ganito na ang attitude niya sa'yo. Kaloka! 

Tinitigan naman niya ako at natawa na lamang siya inasta ko. I know what's going on through her mind kaya siya natatawa. She's laughing at me because of my childishness. 

"Bakit ayaw kang paalisin ni Ciel?" Natatawa niyang tanong sa akin. Just like what I have said, Ciel is my twin-brother. My oh-so-very-protective twin brother. He's a minutes older than me kaya minsan tawag ko sa kanya ay kuya. "Gagabihin na naman daw kasi ako ng uwi. You know naman yun si Kuya, may pagka-over protective! Duh! I'm already 22 na kaya!" Naiinis na sagot ko sa kaniya.
