Loving Hatred

3: Warren Peace Whitlock

"What the hell, Kelsey?!" Singhal ko sa bestfriend ko. "What the f**k are we doing here sa Markovzskiy Conglomerates?!" Inis na asik ko sakanya saka tinignan sya ng matalim.

"Well, based on your story, your f*****g father is THE Warren Markovzskiy!" Impit na tili nya. "Hiring ang assistant position nya. And they are accepting summer job takers." She said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"I don't have any plans on being known as that monsters daughter. And have you thought about Red? Kelsey, I don't want to be sibs with freaking Vladimir Hatred Markovzskiy!" Gigil na utas nya. "And sure, my mom loves that man that is why i have Warren in my name! I find it cool, sure but when i knew that damn piece of info, i started to hate my name!" Itinulak nya ako sa elevator at siguradong pumindot ng numero dun. "I hate that whenever mum calls me Warren, she remembers that asshole and his f*****g family!" Yes. I knew a bit of information regarding my mom and the markovzskiy's. Internet graced me too some heart wrenching datas. I don't need to ask mum about it though. I can always ask her bestfriend, Uncle Levi.

"Just get to know the man, War. After that, after this summer job, forget about him. Make aunt Cherish happy. Yun na lang!" Sagot nya sakin. "And don't hate the man, Warren. Your mom loves him. I can see." She smiled at me. "Whatever reason they have for not looking after your mom? You can ask him. Like hints. Ganun?" She said. Napatungo ako. The elevator dinged then we went out. She handed me my resume. "Your resume is your key to be close with the old Markovzskiy. Go." Tinulak nya ako palapit sa secretary.

"How may I help you, Miss..?" Tanong nito sakin.

"W-Whitlock. Peace Whitlock." Medyo nautal pa ako. Damn. Lumapit si Kelsey and whispered goodluck to me then went back to the elevator to go down the lobby. She'll wait for me there..

"Mr. Markovzskiy's waiting for you. You're the only summer job taker na matapang na nagapply dito." She smiled at me. "Goodluck then." Kinuha nya ang resume ko at pumasok sa opisina ng CEO. Napalunok ako. CEO. f**k, this is a f*****g big deal! Wala pang ilang minuto ay lumabas na siya agad. "Ms. Whitlock, you can come in." She smiled at me. "Goodluck. Pass it para may kasama na akong babae dito." Marahan nya akong tinapik sa balikat.

Huminga ako ng malalim at itinuwid ang likod ko. Kampante akong maganda ako. Kamukha ko si mommy. Duh. With long eyelashes, small but high nose, chinky eyes, and pinkish full lips, i'm the carbon copy of my mom, porcelain like skin. Flawless. Well, nagkakatalo nalang sa ugali. Now i will know kung ugali ko ba ang ugali ni Warren Markovzskiy.

Nakaupo sya sa swivel chair at busy sa mga papeles.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Markovzskiy." Bati ko. Iniangat nya ang tingin nya sakin. I saw his face changed emotions. From serious, to shocked, confused, surprised and back to being serious.. He cleared his throat.

"S-so.. Have a seat Miss.." He opened my resume.. Napalunok ako. "Whitlock." He whispered.

"Yes, thank you, Sir." Umupo ako. Tahimik nyang binasa ang resume ko.

"Whitlock.. Whitlocks are old family from this town.. But they are not here anymore.. Do you happen to know, Adeline Lorein Whitlock?" Tanong nya sakin. Ayoko magsinungaling pero pano si mommy?

"I.. Uhh.. She.. She's my grandmother.."

"G-grandmother?" Utal na tanong nya sakin.

"Yes sir." Nagbasa uli sya..

"Your mother.. What is her name?" Tanong nito. Natigilan ako.

"Hindi nyo po ba muna aalamin ang pangalan ko?" Tanong ko din. I know. Walang kahahantungan ang pagaapply na to. Nakita ko ang paglunok nya.

"Please tell me your name.." Buo ang boses na saad nito. Nagbabadya ang luha sa mga mata.

"I am Warren Peace Whitlock, I am 16 years old, and an incoming senior high student. My mother is Harmony Cherish Ryd, but she prefers to be called Harriet Rose and acts as my Guardian.." I sighed. "Do you know how much my mother sacrificed for your family to be peaceful again?" Tanong ko. "Do you know.. How.. f**k it!" I stood up. "I don't know your damn story. I don't know your damn side! But what matters to me is my freaking mother. I don't want you to f*****g see her. I don't want you to f*****g talk to her. I just want to let you know that we are f*****g happy without you, an asshole of a father because you f*****g chose other family to be whole."

"Warren.." He cried. "Damn woman, you really did named our child Warren.." He whispered.

"What I wanna know is.. Why? Why did you chose the family that isn't yours in the first place?" Malungkot na saad ko.

"Because of my family. The Markovzskiy's.." Sagot nya.

"Great! My mother, the ever so gentle, sweet, kind and caring, Harmony Cherish Ryd, is always the sacrifice. She never experience to be fought for. Because as always, she is the sacrifice! Wag ka magalala." Inilibot ko ang tingin ko sa opisina nyang napakaganda. "My mother sacrificed enough to get us by. A nice house, a nice school, she worked her ass out ng buntis sya sakin, went abroad, took me with her and go back here in the philippines to live f*****g peacefully! We should have stayed there! Peaceful my ass. No place would be f*****g peaceful with your family in there!" Sigaw ko. Well.. That part on sacrificed, I don't know.
