She Hates Me!

Chapter 4: Meet HER Bestfriend

Fiona Catherine's POV

Goddamn! This flight sucks! Where am i? To check it, I just arrived here at NAIA. Anyway, tawagan ko na nga ang dad ko.

"Hello? Dad! . . . . I'm here! God! . . . . . stampede dito sa airport. . . . . Can you please pick me here ASAP! . . . . . ha? . . . . Later, I'll tell you the story na lang. Just gora na and pick-pick me!"

       Haaay! Yan, ooh, sorry to be rude. I did not yet introduce myself. By the way, I am the pretty, gorgeous and beautiful FIONA CATHERINE SHIN. 4th year student and late enrollee as in super-duper late. Sorry. Forgive me I just love my bestfriend. Connect? Well, here it is, we're from States but to our surprise, She was transferred to Philippines. Yeah, "SHE". Take that malice away, out of your mind freego. And there, I plead to my mom to follow her besides, my father's here naman at Philippines. On my first attempt, she declined but I did not stop to kulet her so in the end, pumayag din siya. And boom, here I am Philippines.

        Last time I went here is when I am 7 and now, I can say that "everything has changed" (lol, Taylor Swift? XD). Well, while I am waiting, I'll tell you about my bestfriend and me. When we were still a child, back when we're not yet friends.

       I was new at their subdivision. I tried to play with the other children like me but they don't want to. For me as a kid, it hurts so badly so I run off to the playground crying and not looking to my way, so, unfortunately, nakabangga ako ng isang batang lalaki.

       Di ko nakita ang mukha but I know that it's a boy. I just said sorry and then I continue to run until I reach a bench. No one's sitting so, there, I cried at the top of my lungs and when I realize that something's missing in me.

My necklace.

        It was given by my dad. I cried harder. So much frustration. Iyak lang ako ng iyak when a girl offers me two things. At first, I was confused but she said: "Choose. What do you want to pick? Ice cream or hanky?"

        I look at the ice cream. May bawas na, so, I decided to pick hanky na lang. I wipe my tears and she sits beside me while eating the ice cream (the one she tried to hand me).

"What are you crying for?" – She.

I just look at her.

"You don't talk to strangers?" – She said. "Okay. Hi! (sabay kaway ng kamay) My name is Daraline Xyle Ricafort. But you can call me Dara. How about you?"

"I'm Cath. Fiona Catherine Shin."- I introduced.

"Friends?" sabay offer ng kamay as shake hands. I just look at her hands.

"Don't worry, I put alcohol and it's 99.9% clean." She added.

"Friends. :)" I said and take her handshake.

"Oops, I forgot, I'm eating ice cream! Hahaha! Sorry!" she said and giggles carelessly.

"Ewww. Hahaha! Sticky hands. You said it's 99.9% clean!" I said while laughing.

"Duh! Of course, it's 99.9% clean not 100% clean! It's just sticky like your red tomato nose!" and there we both laugh endlessly.

"But Cath, I almost forgot, why are you crying a while ago?" she interrupted.

"Well, I tried to play with some children there on the playground but they don't want me and so I run here and I bumped a boy another reason is, my necklace. . . *sniff* *sniff* I lost it. That was from my father and it's . . . really important to me. " I said feeling sad.

"Shh. Don't worry Cath. From now on, I'm going to be your best ever friend. Don't mind those freak kids. And we're going to find your necklace." She said with an encouraging bright smile. Her smile is contagious so I can't help but to smile. There, our friendship started.

        We didn't found my necklace but I still think about it up until now. My appa give me another necklace and I am wearing it today still and afraid of losing it again.

Since naging super friend na kami, nalaman naming na magkakilala pala ang father namin. Stockholder ang dad ko sa company nila Dara. Dad has his own company too. Nakishare lang siya sa company nila Dara since magkompare naman daw sila.

"Hey! Cath! Appa's here!" someone shouted and I know who owns that voice. That voice. It's appa! I whisk to find my dad over the crowds. And then I saw him going to my direction with a warm smile and welcoming arms.

"Dad!" I hugged him. God, I miss him so much. Since when did I last saw him? As much as I know, 3 years ago.

"Cath. . . . I can't breathe. There's still tomorrow and other days." He joked.

"Appa! Don't be kj. Don't you want me to hug you? I missed you a lot!" I cried. He chuckled.

"Of course, I do, but you know I still want to live. You're going to suffocate me, baby." I laughed, he is so crazy. That's why I love him.

"You're crazy, dad. C'mon, let's go home. I'm so....tired."

"Oh sure. Best idea."

He helped me to put my bags on his car.

"Cath, dinala mo ata lahat ng gamit mo? Haha! Kulang na lang yung bahay niyo." He said while putting my bags.

"Appa! Bad! Wala pa ngang half yan eh!" I mocked hurt.

"Woah!" he chuckled.

If you want to know, my dad's Elric Park Shin. The Owner slash President of the Shin Port And Cruise Ships. And he's annulled with Fina Reign Santos, my mom. Yeah, they are already separated. I stay with my mom in States but my I can visit dad and vice versa and stay with him too. My mom's running the inherited company from my grandparents. Their relationship is complicated. So complicated. Dad knows how to speak English, Korean, and Filipino also. Mom taught him when they're still couples and you know he worked here in Philippines.

"Hey Cath, sa KEENUA Academy mag-aaral, right?"

"Yes dad."

"You know what, it's your cousins school. Remember Kyle? He OWNS that."

"Oh really, Dad. Woah. That's cool. I can easily goof around." I joked. Haha.

"Baby, behave there." Dad warned.

"Appa, I, not a baby. I'm a lady." I protest.

"Lady, baby, whatever you say. That's the same." I can see at the mirror that he's rolling his eyes while saying that.

"Dad."

"Yes?"

"If Kyle-ya owns a school, then, I also can have one! Ahahaha!" I said with my twinkling eyes trying to tease dad.

"Yah! Cath! You're being so abusive to your appa!" he warned.

"Isn't it unfair? I'm long gone with your side and all I just want is to have a school. . . . Is it too much to wish and grant me what I want for the very first time?" I tried to put some lonely sad tone with my voice. Haha! I can see his face feeling guilt and try to manage saying words.

"Fiona-ya. . . . It's not what I want. Uh. . . . I'm sorry. Okay, fine. . . " he manages to say with a worried look and paused. Oops. I know what will happen. :D "Fiona! Argh! This is not your VERY first time to wish and ask! Oh, Baboo myself." Ahahaha! I like that face appa! I miss your fooled face. That's why I love my dad!  (Again :))

"Got ya there Appa!"

"Whatever Cath."
