Tamara POV
Tatlong araw na ng nakalipas buhat ng insidenteng iyon, wala akong ganang makihalubilo sa tao kaya tatlong araw lang din akong narito sa condo. I ordered food delivery when I get hungry. All I do is sleep and sometimes I think back about everything I did.
Maybe Vaughn is my karma, I made so many mistakes and cause so many heartaches that maybe I' m being punish tru Vaughn. He is my punishment from all the things I have done wrong.
I pulled myself up from the inviting bed. A hot shower will lightened my already depressed state. After showering, I nibbled on some left over pizza I had last night.
I heard my phone ringing so I had to put down the slice of pizza in my hand.
"Dad? What's up?" I answered cheerfully. Gawd! It's so unlike me. Am I trying too hard to sound okay?
"Dearest, I haven't heard from you, What are you up to?" Hay... ano ba naman 'tong daddy ko, anong akala sa akin nagplaplano ng krimen lagi?!
"Dad, I'm just staying low. Gusto mo ba na laging viral ang anak mo? Why didn't you say so? Alam mo naman I don't want to disappoint you!" I sounded bitter. I heard my father clucked his tongue in disapproval.
"I was just joking dearest. Sineseryoso mo. How are you? Have you eaten already?" The concern on his voice made me smile a little.
"Yes dad. Ikaw? How's your day? Kumain ka na ba?" I sweetly asked him.
"I'm good dearest. Marami rin akong nakain na gulay. You know, tumatanda na ako so I have to eat healthy para abutan ko pa ang apo ko sa'yo." Napangiwi ako sa sinabi niya.
"Dad... " reklamo ko. Malakas na humalakhak naman si dad. He seems so happy knowing that I'm getting married. If he only knew. Kabaligtaran ang nararamdaman ko sa nararamdaman niya.
"No pressure. No pressure darling. So, tomorrow is your big day, aren't you excited?"rinig ko nga mas excited pa si daddy, at kelan naman balak sabihin sa akin ni Vaughn na bukas na pala iyon? Kainis talaga ang lalaking 'yon.
"Dad, I forgot, where and what time again is the wedding tomorrow?" I probed. Gawd! Ako lang yata ang ikakasal na bukas pero clueless. This is a fvcking mess!
"Daughter, atleast alarm your phone, pinapakaba mo ba ako?" Sabay tawa niyang muli. Mahinang nakitawa na din ako.
"Alam mo maaga talaga akong natanda sa'yong bata ka! It's 3pm at Fernwoods Garden. Dearest, I know it's not what you want at all, but can you trust me when I say, it is all for the best?" Malambing niyang pahayag sa akin.
"Dad, I know I'm not the best daughter, I failed you almost all that time, You hate what I do but still your love for me never waivered. I understand everything daddy, I just want you to be proud of me for once." naiiyak kong pahayag, buti na lang sa phone kami nagdrama, mahirap na baka hindi ko din masabi 'yon kapag nagkita kami. He is always a contained man, he doesn't show emotions towards me. But I can feel his love and I love him too, so much that I'm willing to undergo this marriage even if every fiber in my body abhors it.
"Dearest, I've always been proud of you, that's why you turned out the brat that you are, cause daddys' so proud of you even in all your rotten mischiefs, daddy is still so damn proud of you." Natatawa niyang pahayag.
"Spoiler!" I joked at him
"Dearest, I have to go, meetings and all. Don't forget your wedding tomomrrow. Bye." halatang nagmamadali na paalam niya.
"Okay daddy, love you. See you tomorrow." nagmamadaling paalam ko rin bago niya pa putulin ang linya.
Nahiga na lang muli ako sa kama ko, nagpa-ikot-ikot lang ako sa malaki kong kama, dapa, baluktot, tihaya, tagilid, maya-maya tumayo ako at nagtatalon sa kama, ganito ako habang nag-iisip ng malalim. Siguro tatanggapin ko na lang sa sarili ko na kailangan kong magpakabait at sundin lahat ng gusto ni Vaughn, para na rin sa ikakatahimik ko at ni daddy.
Shit! tumitiklop na ba ang isang Tamara de Ville? nasa ganoong estado ang utak ko ng biglang may kumatok. Pagbukas ko ay delivery guy iyon. Nagpareceived ito sa akin at iniabot ang apat na malalaking mga kahon.
Binuksan ko kaagad ang pinaka malaking kahon. Naroon ang Chanel gown na pinili ko. Next box is the Manolo Blahnik na shoes ko. Seeing them again, I felt excited to wear them. Kahit papaano ay gumaan ang mood ko, parang nagbubukas ako ng mga surpresa. Next box I opened ay naroon ang necklace at earrings na wari ko'y mamahalin din. The next box contains our invitation, which is telling me the time and place of the wedding. There is also a salon calling card with an appointment at 1pm tomorrow and a note which I presumed Vaughn's handwriting.
Sweetcakes,
Be there. Prepare your speech.
VCD
"Wow, ang sweet naman ng mapapangasawa ko!" Sarkastikong bulalas ko... kahit sa notes niya pautos pa rin! Fuck you ka po!
Speech. Kailangan ko pa bang magsulat noon? Kung iisa-isahin ko ang masamang ugali niya baka maka-telenobela pa ako, pero iyong good traits? Shit! Blangko! Tapos gusto niya ng speech? Gago talaga. 'Di ko na lang inisip iyon at nilamukos ang papel na may sulat kamay ni Vaughn, bahala na lang kung anong masabi ko bukas. I will defintely won't prepare a speech to praise him!
I hang my Chanel gown on my closet and put on my yoga mat, medyo kailangan ko ng exercise after being lazy for three days straight.
After two hours of doing yoga poses, I'm finally feeling revived. I took a quick shower and prepare myself to sleep. I need beauty rest at least baka meron pang media tomorrow, who knows, kailangan maganda tomorrow kahit feeling ko bitay ko na. Kahit feeling ko it's the end of me. It's the end of the infamous Tamara de Ville.
