THE BEAUTY WITHIN: THE HIDDEN HEIRESS (Reincarnated)

Chapter 20

Celeste Point Of View

Patakilid akong nakahiga sa kama habang tahimik na nakatitig sa labas ng bintana. Mukhang kakatapos lang ng ulan. Rinig na rinig mo na kasi ang ingay ng mga ibon sa labas.

Sigurado din akong nag-aalala na sila papa. Mamaya nako uuwi. Pero hindi naman ibig sabihin non bati na kami. Galit parin ako sa kanya.

Bakit ko nga ulit ginawa yun?

I sighed tiredly and let out an unexpected yawn. I sat lazily on my bed, eyes half open. I did a little stretching and let out a satisfying smile when I heard a few cracking sounds coming out from my own body.

Umaga na pero wala paring araw na lumabas, dahil narin siguro yun sa lakas ng ulan kagabi.

A few minutes passed I decided to get up and start my day by doing my morning routines. I started off by taking a bath first. I used warm hot water this time since the weather is cold.

Hindi naman siya ganun kainit para masugatan ako. Ng makuntento ako sa init nito ay nagsimula nakong maghubad at agaran ring naligo.

After brushing my teeth and applying a few skin care. I went outside wearing nothing but my bathrobe.

I walked my way inside my walk-in closet. Compared to my closet back home this one is rather small. But this will do for now.

After drying my hair I tied it in a tight bun. I was wearing a black turtle neck and wore a black oversized leather jacket over it. I paired it with black skinny jeans and lace-up front combat boots. I took a final look in the mirror. Once I was satisfied with myself I exited the room and walked my way downstairs.

It's still early in the morning. I'm sure that guy is still asleep. I'll just cook breakfast and leave.

I hummed happily when I didn't see a single shadow of him. That's probably better. That embarrassing scene from last night keeps lingering inside my head.

“No Artemia you are better than this ok! Yes maybe he's hot and all but still– Oh my gosh you did not just say that. No I'm crazy. Stop thinking nonsense.” I scolded and whispered to myself.

I'm not crazy ok! Everyone does this when they do something stupid. I'm not the only one.

Bakit ko ba kasi ginawa yun. Why? Ang tanga-tanga mo kasi Artemia ayan tuloy. Tapos anong gagawin mo ngayon ha!

Malamang iiwasan yung tao. Hindi naman ako ganon ka bobo no!

“Confirmed. Baliw na nga ako”

Kailangan ko munang magluto ng agahan dahil nagugutom na ako. Bahala na ang kahihiyan na nararamdaman ko. Sigurado namang hindi pa siya gising kaya may ilang oras pa akong natitira.

Wala na akong sinayang na oras at agad ng nagsimula sa pagluluto. I'm planning on cooking something easy since I can't stay long. Mahirap na no. I ended up cooking home made chocolate chip pancakes. I also added my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches and my brother's favorite soup. He used to cook it for me every time, especially when the weather was cold.

Kamusta na kaya siya. I hope his not blaming himself too much. I'm sure he's still devastated. I miss him though. He has always been there for me. I just wish I could have repay him somehow.

After placing everything on the table. I squeezed a freshly picked orange from my very own orchard. I love gardening. The second week I came here I asked the gardener to teach me how to grow a plant. Of course It took me a lot of begging and convincing for him to teach me. I ended up threatening him instead.
