Safiya's
I groaned, with the thought that some how he could save me if he has a mafia blood, But i don't think Wyatt is capable, he's just an ordinary rich guys, mostly rich people can be invited in that kind of party, iniwan niya na ako after we dined together here.
He's connected to Azrael Le Chevre he's invited to the Party, how can i possibly tell him that i am engaged if this relationship is not what i think it would be?
Yes i am attracted however, would this last? I brushed off these thoughts and went to my closet to pick a dress for tomorrow evening. But my phone vibrated, i sat up in my chair and look at the message.
Oliver
I'll pick you up tomorrow for the party, my parents are coming. Act happy.
Oliver is gonna push my buttons, this time. I don't know how, how will i explain it to Wyatt?
I didn't mind replying and went downstairs to get some beer, i saw Darian and Reign talking in the couch it's almost midnight why is he here?
"Hey." Reign caught my attention and he smiled at me. "We need to talk." Dumagdag din naman ang kapatid ko, there's a beer on top of the table.
Pumunta muna ako sa kusina para kumuha sa ref ng beer at binuksan iyon, dumiretso ako single sofa at hinarap sila i sipped through my bottle before facing them i am deep shit for being attracted to Wyatt, i don't have any place or any options to pick him. What is decided is already decided.
My life has been planned. I don't need to get angry with this situation.
I follow orders.
I heard my brother sighed. They looked at me.
"Let's plan for tomorrow" aniya. Tumango ako at naka kunot na tumingin kay Reign dahil, wala naman siyang alam sa buhay namin magkapatid bat siya nandito.
"Reign knows, don't bother looking at him like you want him to go home." I nodded lightly. Reign is one of my trusted friends. And Darian is too.
I bet he already knew everything, the guys knew that i have a fiancée. While Wyatt is being a clueless puppy. I felt bad.
"Oliver is with his parents tomorrow." I shared. Tumango naman ang kapatid ko, but he stared at me like something is really bothering him.
"So the plan is, for you and Wyatt not to get caught with this?" Reign asked. Umiling ako. "It doesn't matter, he will know it eventually, and i'm not gonna hide that."
"He needs to know before hand. We all know how he will react from this." My brother, took a sip while he talked.
"I'll take care of it." Reign said with full responsibility. Umiling ako muli.
"No, i will make sure to have my distance. Hindi na pwede ito. It's okay for Oliver to cheat while we're in a relationship i can't do the same Darian. Lolo will be dissapointed if i disobey his orders." We are in a deep pit, of things that we want, that we can't get. Like ... Wyatt.
I've been attracted to Wyatt for so long. I don't know where it started?
"That old hag.."
"As if you care about this situation." Tumingin ako kay Reign. " I now know that you knew. If only i can get out of this. Technically, lolo has been keen on getting us in the organization if someone is related to the mafia, who has a real mafia blood, but i really wonder how in hell did he became one, we're his grandkids it must be easy."
I been asking myself that for so many reasons that lolo wants us to get in. Why can't we get in automatically? What is he aiming for?
Ni isa walang umimik sa mga tanong ko.
Bakit nga ba? What's the real agenda.
I looked at reign again, like he wants something to say to me.
Tumayo nalang ako at bumalik sa kwarto ko.
Nagising ako ng maaga i dressed up and took my car out. Pumunta ako kay Cora. I brushed my hair while i put my aviators on.
Hanggang sa makarating ako sa village nila, binuksan ng guard ang malaking gate as usual, tumango nalang ako dahil kilala naman ako ng guard dito, i parked my car outside their house, it's similar to Clark's Mansion, but this one is kinda smaller, spacious but elegant.
The maid's bowed down to me hindi ko na iyon pinansin at mabilisang pumuna sa hagdan, i saw the maid that Cora was close too.
Si Ate Leng. Napakunoot noo ako dahil, namumula ang mukha nito. Parang may hindi magandang nangyari? But if that happened she needs to be pale.
"Ate is she in here? Should i knock first?" I looked at her with menacing look.
Umiling siya saakin.
"Jusko santisima, ma'am hindi ko na po alam ginagawa ni Coraline. Mapatawad sana siya ng ating Panginoon." Nagkrus muna siya habang hawak hawak ang rosario. Ate leng is kind of old fashion. Napaka Makadiyos nito. But why would she react that way?
I step at the side of the door while i put my ears on the door. I just can't barge in if a miracle is happening?
I heard moan's and groans, iyon ang kinagulat ko.
Nakita kong nakasilip din si Ate leng sa magiging reaction ko.
" Sila tito?" I asked she mouthed "out of town"
I nodded. I put my focus on the door.
Loud banging and groaning full of moans.
Im not gonna be shock because i saw a hickey in her neck before.
I don't know if i should be happy that she could finally get over Nyles for some reason and fucking someone is the answer.
How i hope that was my answer to all of my problems? I smiled.
"Oh fuck baby.. come for me.. please i'll fucking beg!"
It's Coraline. The usual, yep that's what i expected.
"Reign please.. fuck!! Fuckk! Ahh..ahh."
Putangina. I didn't hesitate what will happen to the door. I knocked it off.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" I Yelled. She was what? Fucking Reign?
Mabilis sa alaskwatrong kinuha ni Reign ang kumot para matabunan silang dalawa ni Coraline.
"OMG OMG!!!" Cora yelled, tumalukbong siya.
"We can explain..." they looked at each other. Tinabunan ko ang mukha ko dahil i don't wanna see them oh my god.
Lumabas nalang ako ng kwarto, at dumiretso sa labas para makaalis na dala dala ng kotse ko, tawa tawa ako habang nag dadrive. I knew it.
Hinayaan ko nalang sila. I got a text from Cora and Reigny. But i didn't read it. Why would you guys mind explaining?
Cora is really trashy sometimes, she saves me from everything anyway,i just barged in because i wanna make sure.
And Reigny did his best. Hindi siya tumakbo. My bestfriend is in real good hands, if they really work this out.
That figures.
I was gonna happily go back at home, but a black sedan's cornered me. Bumuntong hininga muna ako. It's lolo's body guard Kevin.
"Young Miss, The Master ordered to see you" tumango nalang ako dahil ano ba naman gagawin ko? I can lose them, but i have time to waste anyway.
"I'll follow you may go." Tumango saakin si kevin. Sumunod ako sa mga sedan, my nissan juke is really out of place as of the moment.
Lolo probably wants to tell me something, and then i'll do it out of my will ofcourse.
Nakarating ako kaagad at nakaharap ko na ang matanda. "Bat di mo nalang ako tinawagan? It's easy these days" this old hag..
"What a way to say hi Lolo." I rolled my eyes.
"If you're gonna disrespect me Safiya,you better know what's coming" he said vividly, Lolo looked at me darkly.
"Yep what ever i'm gonna follow anyway." I casually sat on the million dollar sofa. Tumikhim ito bago sumimsim ng kanyang tsaa. Mapaso ka sana.
Lolo, even though he helped us and feed us, he's been a bad grandfather. He glanced at me with cold eyes. Typical Lolo.
I'm hoping that Lola would be alive, just to make this old hag to stop his dirty schemes.
I crossed my arms, i felt uncomfortable and i am not gonna deny that.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked.
"Azrael Le Chevre's Yacht, sasabog iyon mamaya, panigurado ako, make sure Oliver's Parents are safe. Hindi natin alam kung ano kababalaghan ang nangyayari. Wala na sa trono ang head ng mafia rito sa Pilipinas, he's gone off the grid."
Wow their safety not our safety, i wanna laugh.
I've been obliging everything.
"I obliged." Umalis ako kaagad. Para yun lang pala bat di niya nalang tinext?
"Get the dress." Utos niya. Sinalubong naman ako ng Maid ni Lolo.
Walang paalinlangang kinuha ko iyon ng hindi lumilingon sakanya.
Sa totoo lang palagay ko mababaw lang ang dahilan ng matandang to sa lahat ng gusto niyang mangyari.
"What the fuck lang" i cursed, nilagay ko sa backseat ng sasakyan ang damit, probably Lolo doesn't want me to look like a trash anyways.
Yep thanks Lolo.
I drove fast home, i parked my car and went to the nearest store here, i'm frustrated. I really am.
"Isang stick Malboro blue." Nag bigay ako ng sampung piso at kumuha ng tatlong max na pula sa lalagyan nila. Nginitian lang ako ng ale.
I don't plan to buy a whole pack hindi ko naman iyon mauubos. This thing is just help to get out of my frustrations and depressions.
If only i could manipulate people around me without feeling guilty i can get away with this. If only lolo could give me a deeper reason for this. Then i'll reconsider.
Pinili ko ang kurso, kung saan mas maiintindihan ko ang mga tao sa paligid ko, it some what fascinates me, because a lot of people don't think i care with my stoic face on but deep inside i wanna understand everything i wanna understand myself also, kinuha ko ang pusporo na naka sabit sa labas at nagsindi.
The cold effect of the cigar run through my mouth, binuga ko iyon. I deeply sighed.
Napaupo ako sa hagdan dahil elevated naman iyong tindahan may mga wooden chairs naman pero hindi ako komportbleng umupo roon.
"You look so problematic." Nabigla ako ng kaunti dahil si Wyatt iyo , seeing me with a cigar on my hand is such a turn off iniwas ko iyon.
No one likes a girl if she's a smoker.
Tinabihan niya ako roon. Nag ayos tuloy ako ng upo at pinatong sa sigarilyo sa tabi ko. I looked at him. I was in fear before looking at his eyes.
My feelings will intesify if i keep this thing coming.
"You know...--" i paused for a moment when he took my cigar on my side, inagaw ko iyon kaagad.
He scowled, my face remained stoic. Kahit sa totoo lang nakikita kong ayaw niya.
But the thing is Wyatt's action is the one thing that i can't read accurately, i know Nyles has dibs for someone else, that's why pinaniwala ko si Coraline na gusto siya nito, i know it's a bad move but she needs to find someone.
I puffed and puffed, at binuga iyon to let out frustrations again, but he held my chin up and looked at me, i saw the cigar on his lips, pinaglapit niya ito para masindihan ang kanya.
I looked at his eyes, he's calm, and he gave a ghost of a smile.
"I liked silence so much, that i am worried for you." He stated, bumuga rin siya at pinag lapit ang binti niya saakin dahil may taong dadaan roon.
He sighed.
"Don't worry about me..." i said with assurance i am used to this but i am not used to the thought that Wyatt will let go, after this.
"Please trust me." Aniya, kumunot ang noo ko roon, at bakit naman?
"I am engaged to someone else Wyatt." I looked at him straight, his expression didn't changed.
"Oliver is not just a typical boyfriend, that i can break up with, anytime." I sighed.
"I don't care." He puffed his own, and look at the kids running around the area.
I don't live in a village. Ordinaryong tao lamang ako. Mediocre.
"I'm not gonna let you take me to that party as your partner or whatever it will make things complicated for me and you."
"Do i look like i care about how people will think? I spent years, looking at you, yes i know that this is so fast. But i think i will ran out of time."
"If you're gonna keep me in the dark, sige. As long as i have this, i will be contented Diandra." He added and took my hand to kiss it.
"I know that you had feelings for that asshole, but i am willing to fight for what i have right now even if it's low profile." Namumungay ang mata niya. He doesn't want to let me go.
This is ridiculous.
Why would Wyatt settle for a girl like me? Why?
I looked at the area. Wala naman sigurong tauhan ang Lolo rito.
Tinapon niya kaagad ang sigarilyo and took mine away too, hinila niya ako patayo, his arms locked on my waist, i feel safer and terrified as he kissed my cheek.
Wyatt would never express his feelings like this.
