Acrimonious Heart: The Last Bullet 🔞

Acrimonious Heart - Chapter 10

"Congratulations Mr. and Ms. Parriño! It's so great to see you getting married, Adrion. Biruin mo, you're already 28, yet sa isang 22-year old woman ka lang pala mahuhumaling." this fucking weird lady suddenly switched her sight at me, causing me to give her my signature smile. "Anong sikreto mo't na-in love sa'yo si Adrion? Pambihira kasi tong batang 'to, tila manhid mula bata, walang nagugustuhan! Ikaw lang talaga, Cassandra. Ikaw lang." dagdag niya. Lintik! I hate being linked to this guy, ano ba! Pero, sige. Para sa reputasyon ko, gagawin ko, but I swear, this would be the last time... sana. Bwisit kasi! Kung hindi lang nila pinatay magulang ko, hindi dapat ako nadirito ngayon! Kakairita naman! 

"Ang sikreto ba, Tita? Well..." ipinasok ko ang braso ko sa braso ni Adrion, pretending to be a perfect couple. A perfect couple to their eyes, yet a very disgusting figure to ours. "You just have to be me. All the other girls have to be Cassandra." sunod kong anas, dahilan para matawa kaming lahat dito kahit puro plastikan lang naman. Siyempre, it is kind of a great event 'no, the gathering of the plastics. Akala ko kay Sasha, private wedding, pero kita mo ngayon, nag-cecelebrate kami. She told me papalitan na lang ang apelyido ko, pepekehin before ang kasal at nagtagumpay naman sila sa plano nila. At kahit naiipit ako sa sitwasyon ngayon, kailangan kong pagtiyagaan. Minsan lang naman 'to. I just need to pretend to have a perfect genuine smile, pero genuine naman talaga't banned na si Aza.

While we're busy celebrating in this special reception, special kasi offer daw siya kineme ng presidente ng Caviel Network, naka-broadcast pala 'to, meaning nasa national TV kami ngayon kaya kailangan na kailangan kong mag-ingat— but out of nowhere, biglang may nagbuhos sa akin ng pulang pintura at saktong paglingon ko, I got completely shocked by the presence of Aza, hindi ba dapat banned siya rito?

"Awww. White gown became a hideous bloody gown. Masarap ba, Cassandra?" Aza mocked, closing her fists and did the crying pose.

"Hey, hey, hey!—"

"And hey, hey, hey, Sasha! Sasha fucking Parriño. Don't ever get your hands on me dahil protektado ako ng batas ngayon. Puwedeng-puwede kitang ipakulong, lalo ka na!" Aza's last words attacked me habang dinuduro-duro niya ako. I saw the panic of the staff na nag-bobroadcast, bawal nilang tanggalin dahil nabayaran na sila ng presidente nila and look at where it is going now. Sabi na nga ba, may mangyayaring hindi maganda sa wedding. Kung hindi sa simbahan, well, expected naman dahil relihiyoso kuno 'tong si Aza — dito sa reception magkakagulo.

"Don't get me wrong, Cassandra, you're really doing a great job, planning to destroy this family." nanlaki ang mata ko when Aza spoiled the plan! What the fuck! I roamed my eyes around and my eyes can see the signs of confusion sa mga mukha ng mga taong 'to, especially sina Sasha.

"It's already been months since Caviel Network cancelled my project dahil sa kagagawan mo, then I guess, I get to be a star today sa broadcasting ng Caviel Network. At hindi nila mapatay-patay, dahil nabayaran na. Diba, President Megrin? But anyway, hear me out—"

"Tumigil ka na, Aza. Baka nakakalimutan mong nasa puder ka ng mga Parriño—"

"At baka nakakalimutan niyong kinalaban niyo ang anak ni Oyi? Oyi Valentine, or the beautiful land that is known by many sa celebrity name niya na Oriya Sckitz! Oo! Matagal kong kinimkim sa inyo! I am not Aza with a random Valentine sa apelyido, dahil isa akong Valentine na kamag-anak ng mga Fuentivas." singit niya kay Sasha and those compelling words entirely changed the atmosphere of the room, creating distant noises and the celebration transformed into confrontation.
