Huntress

Chapter 11: Philisophy Instructor

The best of all ang Schang Sha Fillet, Szechuan Delight, Crab Rangoons and Fried Wonton.

''Son, finish your leftover food, within 10 minutes you'll finally meet the heiress of Shitzang Corp.'' Mom sitting beside me, sa malaking round table. Dalawa lang kami ni Mom dito, si Dad ay nakikipag-negotiate sa mga Chinese businessmen.

''Mom, what's with the Shitzang Corp?''I asked.

''您是否在北京记得您的肥胖女孩同学？''(Do you remember your fat girl classmate in Beijing?)Mom asked.

''Mom, I had a lot of fat classmates. Go straight to the point.'' I said sipping the cold organic green tea.

''儿子，她和仍然增长油脂。我知道您的在妇女的口味，但是在您的年龄，您应该定居了。(Son, she's grown up and still fat. I know your taste in women but in your age, you should have settled down.) Mom.

I coughed. Muntik ko ng maibuga yung tea. Settle down? Wala pa sa plano ko ang pagpapakasal. Maraming babae manghihinayang saken.

''Mom, that's no fun. 21 pa lang ako and hindi pa tapos sa college then settle down agad?''I said.

'您父亲和我已经谈论了此，儿子。''(Your father and I had already talked about this, son.) Mom said.

Damn it. I heard that before. Kasal agad? Ni hindi pa nga nag-eengagement lalo namang hindi ko pa nakikilala kasal agad? Sh!t. Sana hindi nalang ako naging panganay na anak. Stupid Chinese traditions..

'' 妈妈，我抱歉，我必须去。''(Mom, I'm sorry, I have to go.) I finished my food. I stood out and turned back to leave but an arm refused me.

''Wess Chan! 我警告您! 不要破坏这夜，儿子! 今晚是您的先约.''(Wess Chan! I'm warning you! Don't ruin this night, son! Tonight is your pre-engagement.)

Dad in a warned tone came approaching.

'' 先约？但是爸爸。''(Pre-engagement? But dad. ) I insisted. Pinigilan agad ako ng mga bodyguards ni Dad. Kung alam ko lang na ang dinner na ito ay isang kalokohang pre-engagement, sana maaga pa lang nakatakas na'ko. Fvck that.

''不要做我失望对您! 这是您的先约简单的夜。您能在此以后离开。''(Don't make me disappointed to you! This is simple night of your pre-engagement. You can leave after this.) Dad.

I was caught off guard. Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang sumunod na lang sa kanya. Pesteng pre-engagement ito.

The Shitzang family has finally arrived. Nakasakay sila sa isang black Limo. Gusto ko na talagang tumakas, ang dami kasing bodyguard ang nakaharang sa entrance and exit doors.

Sino naman kayang babaeng ito na naka-Chinese dress pa? Malayo pa lang tanaw ko na ang malaking hubog ng katawan niya.

Sa isang malaking round table nag candle light dinner ang family namin saka yung mga SHITzang, SHIT, SHIT holyshit! Dun nag-exchange ng formal introduction ang family.

''Oh, so we have matched a soon to be couple'' Shitzang Dad said.

''We can have now our grandaughter or grandson.'' Dad laughed.

''So when would we set the engagement party''Shitzang Mom asked. Ayoko ng makihalo sa walang kwenta nilang usapan. Yung mga parents namin ang madalas nag-uusap. Katabi ko pa itong polar bear na panay ang pa-cute. Gross.

After nung dinner, pinilit lang ako ni Mom na isama ito dun sa Mediterranean-themed fountain garden sa labas , sinunod ko na lang siya. Badtrip. Sarap ilubog 'tong intsik na butanding. Panay pa pa-cute. Na-obssess na yata.

'' 我是您的gradeschool同学在北京，记得？我是肖Xiao Shitzang."( I'm your gradeschool classmate in Beijing, remember? I'm Xiao Shitzang.) Xiao said.

She smiled. Sa sobrang kapal ng fats nya, natabunan na yung eyelids nya, kaya parang guhit na lang mga mata niya. Kung gaano siya kataba nung nasa Beijing pa kami, lalo pang trumiple.

Tumigil kami ng paglakad sa paligid ng fountain pool. I faced her.

''Let me clear this. I don't fvckin care whoever ex-classmate you are! Look! It's rude of me to say this but I don't like you! I have a girlfriend who's 2 weeks pregnant and she's the one I want to live with for the rest of my life. So back off in the engagement party.'' I lied para lang siya na magback off.

''But I like you! I think I was in love at the first sight no matter what. Marry me Wess Chan! l I want to give Mom and Dad a son!'' Xiao said who's clinging on my arms. Bigla pa siyang yumakap sakin at sa sobrang bigat, pareho kaming nahulog sa fountain pool. Bwisit talaga tong gabi na'to!

NANA'S POV

''Ayos ah kaka-upload ko pa lang sa youtube, 19,296 views na. 2222 likes, 809 dislikes.'' Wynwyn while web browsing .

''TITLE: Wess Chan & Future Fiancé Wet Moments SPG'' Wynwyn said na nagpagulong gulong sa kama, siya naglagay ng title na yun. What a caption.

''Great title.'' I said.

''What the F! Nana, mababaliw talaga ko sa'yo! Totoo ba talaga itong video? Yan yung magiging fiancé ni Wess? Paano ka nga pala nakapunta dun? Eh di ba private dinner yun?''Wynwyn asked.

''Simple, I walked on the entrance.''I said.

''Really? Entrance, paano? Wala ka sa guest lists.''

''Of course. I do have. I'm Liaoxi Cheng.''

''Ano? 'Di kita gets.''

''Liaoxi's father is our regular hotel guest. Gumawa ako ng ID as Liaoxi. And since nasa business trip yung Liaoxi, I'm free to use her name. ''I explained.
Wynwyn said.

''He's our big time hotel guestbbin Rossian Hotel. Here where he often drags his other woman or rather hide her.''I said.

''Pati querida alam mo rin? Ibang klase ka talaga Nana. So what are your plans now?''Wynwyn asked.

''I heard about Wess' records. 3 beses ng hindi natutuloy yung engagement party niya sa kakatakas niya kaya laging nagbaback off yung mga businessmen parents nila sa Chan Corp.'' I said

''So, sa tingin mo tatakasan nya ulit yung dumbo girl sa video?''Wynwyn asked.

''Probably yes. Womanizer yun at lalong hindi magpapatali sa isang babaeng hindi pasok sa kanyang standards. Kailangan matuloy yung kasal niya!''I said.

"Kasal agad as in Nana, sayang naman si Wess kung ganun. 21 lang siya.'' Inuga-uga ako ni Wynwyn.

''This would be a fair play. He'll taste his own medicine.Siguro naman kung mauwi sa marriage yun at gumawa pa siya ng something against to his future wife. It would cause trouble against his clan. '' I said.
