The Evil Sister Who Meets Her Prince (Villain Series #1)

Chapter 07

07

I woke up early this Sunday morning. I'm planning to go to the mall to buy some additional locks for my room. I just sighed when I remember why I needed those locks just because I don't feel safe in my own house. How ironic.

I took a long bath. Sinuot ko ang roba at pumasok na sa walk in closet. I decided to just wear ripped jeans and a white v-neck shirt tucked inside my jeans. Nagsuot na lang ako ng designer belt so it would not look plain. I wore my favorite white sneakers and took my bag, ready to go.

Pagkababa ko ay tanging sina Tita Antonia at Dessa lang ang nasa dining. Dumiretso na ako sa fridge para uminom na lang ng water.

"Where are you going?" parang imbestigador agad ang tono ni Tita.

"Mall.." I said lazily. Wala akong ganang makipag-usap sa mga taong ito.

"Probably meeting up her fuck buddy."

I glared at Dessa.

"Between the two of us you are the most possible person to have one." I just let out a smirked to hide my annoyance.

"Hindi malandi ang anak ko so look at yourself, Ranaiah." Gatong pa ni Tita.

What do you expect?

"Sure ka?"

I feel like she almost want to burst out at itumba ako rito. I just barked out a laugh at umiiling na umalis doon. Ang aga-aga pa nang-aannoy sila.

Nakasalubong ko si Nanang sa front yard na nagdidilig ng mga halaman. I went to her para magpaalam.

"Good morning Nang..." I calmly greeted her. Baka kasi magulat na naman siya. I giggled.

"Oh... saan ka tutungo?" pinatay niya muna ang gripo at binaba ang hose before turning to me again.

"I'm going to the mall. I'll buy something lang."

"Maaga pa ah. Bukas na ba iyon ngayon?"

It's only 9 am.

"I'll stroll in the park sa malapit before I go to the mall."

"Sino maghahatid sa 'yo? Kasama ng Daddy mo si Lando pag-alis."

"Nanang I can commute kaya."

"Naku! Magtaxi ka at huwag kang magjejeep at lutang ka pa naman doon."

Ngumiwi ako sa sinabi ni Nanang.

"Opo.." sabi ko na lang.

"I-text mo sa akin ang plate number ng taxi na sasakyan mo at mag-text ka rin pagdating mo ng mall."

"Opo Nanang. Alis na po ako ha. Bye!" I just gave her a flying kiss habang palabas ako ng gate.

Kung hindi pa ako aalis ay baka kasing haba na ng novena ang mga reminders sa akin ni Nanang.

Nilakad ko lang ang park inside our village dahil near lang naman iyon. Nang makarating ay naupo muna ako sa isa sa mga bench. There are few people na namamasyal din. Some were with their dogs, maybe walking them around. May ilang bata ring naglalaro at ang iba naman ay nagpipicnic pa.

After a few minutes, tumayo ako para maglakad-lakad na lang muna. May isang oras pa ako bago magbukas ang mall.

While I was walking, a cute little dog went on my way. I squat down to look at it. I caressed its head at napapikit ito dahil sa ginagawa ko.

"You like it?" I asked as if it would respond.

"What's your name?" I asked again.

"Apollo." I heard a baritone voice of a man.
