Taming Wild Roses [Chasing Liberty Series #1]

17

It's friday night at sa wakas ay sembreak na namin. We have one month of rest before our second semester.

And as what my parents want, uuwi ako sa amin. Sakto rin dahil sa linggo na ang isa pang celebration ni Kai. That is his actual birthday rin kasi.

Ganoon siguro talaga kapag sobrang yaman na, one celebration for the family and one for other friends and relatives.

Well, that sucks for me kasi kahit may kaya kami ay hindi ko naranasan iyon. My parents would like to travel by themselves rather than celebrating my birthday with me.

In the end, mga kaibigan ko lang ang kasama ko. Or sometimes, mag-isa lang.

Kai is a lucky man. Kumpleto ang pamilya at mukhang mapagmahal ang magulang. He also has an irresistibly cute brother. Maybe that's why he has a good personality. He was surrounded by good influences in his life. His family, especially his mother, teached him to be kind and respectful.

Now I get why he is a gentleman. Kung ikaw ba naman ay may ganoong kabait na ina, you'll never want anyone to harm her. And maybe he adapt that to other girls, kaya kahit sa iba ay magalang at mabait siya.

I wonder if my parents just pour attention and love to me. Will I still crave validation from other people?

I don't know.

I just know that I am so thankful to my two best friends who never leave my side. They were the first ones to accept who I really am. They made me feel special and loved. I will do anything for those two bitches.

Sa ngayon ay uuwi rin sila sa kani kanilang bahay. Kelly went to her province and Tris to her mother's hometown.

Nakarating ako sa bahay mga 7 pm na. Maaga ako para sana sabay sabay kaming mag dinner pero when I got there, wala ang parents ko.

In the end, mag-isa na naman akong kumain sa malaki naming lamesa.

I hurriedly finished my food and went to my room. I cried.

I don't know why I felt sad. Siguro dahil akala ko ay matutuwa sila na nakikisama ako kay Kai. Akala ko they will welcome me with open arms dahil sa wakas ay sinunod ko ang kagustuhan nila.

Mali pala.

Ganoon lang din.

They never changed.

Mabuti na lang at tumawag si Kai dahil naibsan kahit papano ang lungkot ko.

"What are you doing? Hmm?" he said huskily. Nakahiga na rin daw siya sa kama.

"Nothing. I am bored here. I can't believe I will spend a month in this hell." saad ko habang pinupunasan ang luha.

"Don't worry Roshan, I'll keep you entertained. Okay? See you on Sunday. I can't help but to think of your gift. Ano kaya iyon?" he giggled.

I smiled.

"Hmm. Basta. Pero sana magustuhan mo ah? You almost got everything kaya medyo nakakahiya ang ibibi-"pinutol niya ang sasabihin ko.

"I told you multiple times Roshan, kahit ano basta galing sayo. I will appreciate every inch of it."

"Mambobola." narinig ko naman ang pagtawa niya sa kabilang linya.

"Hmm."

"Antok ka na ata. Bukas na lang uli." saad ko.

"Hindi pa. Dito muna tayo." sambit niya gamit ang pa cute na boses.

"Sus." umirap ako pero nakangiti ang labi.

"Anong gagawin mo bukas?" tanong niya, pinapahaba ang usapan.
