Playing Tyrion's Game (Complete)

Prologue -Voice

Walking in the rain along grey black BGC street. Great!! Even rain know what i feel today huh. Naka-ilang apply na ako sa iba't ibang trabaho pero ni isa wala mang lang tumanggap or tumawag sakin. Damn this life, i need a job.

My savings had been obliterated. Just two days ago i lent my stepmother twenty thousands and my father didn't know it. My father hates me so much. Walang natira sa pinundar ko, pero ang perang binigay ko sa madrasta ko ay para sa gamot ng kapatid ko. Jaxon is sick. Okay lang sakin kahit gumapang pa ako sa lupa basta mabili lang ang gamot na kailangan ng kapatid ko
They need money for Pete's sake. I lent my stepmother a money para sa gastusin sa mga gamot ni Jaxon. It was laughable to think na nagbigay ako ng pera kahit itinakwil na nila ako sa pamilya. What a shame!!

It was miserable day, with no sign of good news. I dug my hand deeper into my coat pockets, my fingers curling around a five thousand pesos that i pulled out of my atm card. Funny five thousand na lang ang natitira sa pera ko paano ko mababayaran ang gastusin ko kung ito na lang ang natitira sakin. I hate this life!!

But my mind tells me 'Catriona you've been through worse than this!'. My life is sinking but i don't want to give up. My life is miserable, I am a lost stray cat with no love and with no home.

Pushing open a exclusive bar door. I walked in with head held high. Tinggal ko ang aking jacket at sinampay ko sa aking kamay. My jacket is soak in rain. My long hair is dripping wet at my back. Normally i wouldn't entertain entering some random bar but hell this bar is exclusive i don't care dahil magbabayad naman ako. Bar is the place where i gathered my thoughts.

Money is one of my hell problems. Gastusin doon, gastusin dito at gastusin diyan. I used to dream to become rich hell hanggang don na lang yun dahil alam ko naman sa sarili ko na hanggang pangarap lang ako. Hindi naman masamabg mangarap diba.

It had been headaches to find out na lahat ng inapplyan ko ay walang tumanggap sakin. I was about to head to the bar but glancing around and i saw that it was table service so i walked over to a empty red velvet couch. Mga mayayaman lang ang pumupunta dito. Hindi ako nababagay sa lugar na ito. Tsss bilang mahirap ay may karapatan din kaming pumunta o magsaya sa mga ganitong lugar dahil sa paningin ng Diyos ay pantay pantay lang tayo.

Despite, it's rather dingy appearance from the street, the bar inside it was actually very nice grand interior. One of my ambition is to become a architect hilig ko gumuhit.

Umupo ako sa kung saan ang bintana. Malayang natatanaw ang mga tao,kotse at ilaw na nabubuhay kung saan nagbibigay buhay sa paligid. I put my coat to the table. I looked up at the sound of laughter-a group of well dressed women sipping on a expensive cocktails. I couldn't help but envy their mood. Sila yung tao na bihira magkaroon ng problema when it comes to financial problem. Rich people who have a happy go lucky money,house,car and company- luxuries life. What Rich people want, people rich get.

My eyes moved away. There a lost God. Sitting at a couch near them. The man lost in his world? The most beautiful man i ever seen. Black suited, thick black brown hair showing an immaculate high profile, strong jawline, high cheekbones, deep set of black eyes and a very perfect straight nose. His long legs were stretched out and crossed at the ankle. He stared into his glass, kunot noong at salubong na kilay na nagpapakita na siya ay nasa iyang malalim na pag-iisip. He looked the epitome of cool elegance.

His furrow deepened dahil sa dagundong na saya dahil sa grupo ng mga babae na nakatingin sa kanya. The man looked up he might have caught me watching to him. I was terribly grateful dahil sakto lang ang dating ng waitress bago niya ako makita na pinapanood siya. The waitress blocked my view.

Thank you mareng waitress kung nahuli niya ako nagnanakaw tingin nakakahiya iyon.

"What's your order madame?" Waitress asked

"Jack daniels please." I said. Tumango lang ang waitress at isinulat sa maliit na papel ang order ko. I extremely carefel what i ordered.

The waitress asked how many glasses. Sinabi ko isa lang dahil yung lang kakasya sa budget ko. Hay nako buhay. Umalis ang waitress kung saan ako naupo at tumungo sa counter. Bumalik din ito na dala ang bowl. A little bowl of nuts. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko dahil allergic ako sa nut. One time muntik na akong mamatay dahil yung classmates oo nagbigay ng cake tapos meron palang nuts iyon halos lagutan na ako ng hininga buti na lang at naagapan bigla. Instead na sabihin ay tumahimik na lang ako i don't want to feel them offended.

"Celebrating?" The waitress asked as she poured my drink

"Yeah." I lazily replied. The waitress left alone. Selebrasyon dahil wala akong trabaho bakit ang selebrasyon lang ba ay para mga araw na masasaya tayo? Tsk

I smiled weakly. I raised my glass to the window.

Cheers!!

What a a nice view. Light shine. Every light gives a shine to the street. Without light the street would be gloomy,lifeless.

As I turned my head. I gasped what i saw. Mr. Handsome PapaBol watching me- not staring, watching me curiously. I can't blame him sino ba matitino na nakikipag cheers sa hangin HAHAHAHA.

I gave him a sweet grief smile. Bumalik ako sa pag-iisip ko kung saan at paano ko kahaharapin na problema.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at nagtipa sa Google kung saan ako maghahanap ng naghahire na empleyado.

Sumimsim ako ng jack daniels hanggang sa naging kalahati na ang ito ng baso. Half a glass of jack daniels on a empty stomach hindi pa ako kumain ngayon araw pero wala akong pake. My emotions bubbling at malapit ng tumulo ang mga luha na kanina ko pa pinipigilan.

"Madame you didn't sign the register nung pumasok kayo." The waitress came over. May ganun pa ba dito? What a bar

Napayuko ako dahil sa kahihiyan. Daretsyong daretsyo akong pumasok dito tapos may ganun palang patakaran!?

"You are not a remember madame?" Nanlilisik na tanong ng waitress. I felt a blush spread on my cheeks dahil sa kahihiyan. Of course, exclusive bar itong pinasukan ko na hindi gaya ng ibang bar na gaya ng pinapasukan ko na public bar.

I was about to apologise at magbabayad na rin sana ako ng may biglang nag interrupt sa gagawin ko.

"Why are you hiding there?" It was a deep cold voice, it's was enough for you to shivered.
