Haters turns to lovers

Chapter 2

It was hard to pretend that everything will be okay when I know it is not maybe this was really meant to happen. Mom and dad are already annulled, two weeks ago dad was thinking not to continue the annulment and talk to mom but, when he saw mom with his bestfriend happily eating then he said that he will give the happiness of my mother. Siguru yung lalakeng yun talaga ang gusto niyang pakasalan not dad, nalaman ko na kagustuhan talaga ni daddy ang pakasalan si mommy pinakiusapan niya ang mga magulang niya na gusto niyang si Lanny Rose Folkerson ang pakasalan siya.

Wala akong magawa kundi ang mag isip ng paraan para lang maging okay ang pamilyang to na hindi ko naman magagamit. Sa haba ng sinayang kong oras na magmuni muni nakarinig ako ng malakas kalabog mula sa labas agad akong napatayo sa kama ko at bumaba para tanungin kung anong nangyayari.

"Manang, narinig nyo po yung ingay?" tanong ko kay manang Mel.

"Daddy mo siguru halos maubos ang alak sa Ref hija, kausapin mo nga baka sakaling pakinggan ka." sabi niya.

"ANG SABI KO BUMILI KA PA DOON!!!" dinig ko mula baba ang sigaw ni daddy.

Two rooms between my room and dads room he decide to put me far from their room the reason is he doesn't want me to hear their fights. Dad never got drunk like this he always avoid it because he doesn't want to say bad words to mommy he always think about her but in return mom never realize everything.

"Dad." I called him with a low tone.

Hindi ko alam kung maririnig niya ako dahil sa nakikita ko galit na galit siya at sobrang nasasaktan sa mga nangyayari alam kong pareho kaming mahihirapan.

"Enough please."

"Kulang pa ba ako anak?" litong tanong niya saakin.

"Ako dad, kulang pa ba ako?" balik kong tanong.

Alam kong parang baliw na magtatanungan kame sa ganitong sitwasyon gusto ko lang ding malaman kung kulang pa ba ako para kalimutan niya si mommy at lahat ng nangyari noon at sa relasyon nila. Wala ba akong used sa pamilyang to bakit parating walang options kung ano ang dapat na gawin bakit palaging wala akong choice kundi ang manahimik at hintayin kung anong mangyayari sa susunod Damn it! I'm not a kid anymore I could do whatever I want in my life I can stay away from this house and make my own life but I choose to stay for them I choose to arranged this mess but nothings happen kasi lahat sila ang dapat na masunod.

Hindi siya nakapagsalita agad. "Dad, I choose to move on even it hurts to let go, did you ever ask me if I'm okay? Mawawalan ako ng Ina dad."

"Hindi ko gustong maghiwalay kayo, pero everytime I saw you two are fighting it hurts me a lot how can I help you if you refused my help and you choose to be misserable than being contented I-I don't want you to hurt even that'll hurt me a lot." patuloy ko.

Hindi ko na kaya pang marinig kung anong sasabihin niya kaya naman umalis ako sa harapan niya at bumalik sa kwarto ko doon ko inilabas lahat ng luhang kanina pang gustong bumagsak. I just want him to realize that life isn't that perfect we may not be a complete family like before. Mahirap ba na ako din piliin niya anak niya naman ako ah.

"f**k THAT LOVE!!!" I hissed.

Nakatulog ako dahil sa kaiiyak ko ayoko talaga sa lahat na umiiyak bago matulog dahil for sure pagka bukas kitang kitang ang eyebags ko kaysa sa itim kong mga mata.

I woke up at 5:00 am and I immediately went to the bathroom to take a bad I still have class today, for god sake!! Its monday and my class will start at 7:30 am. Natapos ako sa pagliligo bandang 6:01 am s**t! I need to do something about my face.

"Argggh!! Gabbi! I didn't tell you to cry all night."

I'm looking at the mirror and talking to myself what should I do now for sure tadtarin nanamabn ako ni andy ng sangkaterbang tanong niya na puru walang kinalaman sa totoong nangyari. The next thing I should do is to go now its already 6:45.

I was at the entrance of our dining area when I saw dad eating silently mukhang di niya naman ako mapapansin kaya kumuha na lang ako ng tubig para naman may laman ang tiyan ko.

"Hija, sabayan mo na yung daddy mo." manang mel said.

"Thanks manang but I need to go."

"Are you avoiding me?" dad said out of nowhere.

"Dad male-late na ako, I need to go."

I was about to go when call me by my full name.

"GABRIELLA ZARI." Matigas niyang tawag.

I know what it means when he call me that way he maybe angry or he has something important to tell I'd rather choose the second one. Seryoso talaga siyang pagagalitan ako ang aga-aga.

"Dad faster, I'm late." reklamo ko.

"I'm sorry for what I did last night, I just want to tell you how much I love you darling please give me some time to recover." he said.

"Yes dad and please choose to be happy give atkeast half of your time to yourself and I love you too dad." pagkasabi ko non umalis na ako agad.

He need space if I can give it to him I will.

"Manong pakibilisan lang po late na po ako." sabi ko sa driver.

Shit! I'm 10 minutes late bakit pa kasi natraffic hay naku siguradong pagagalitan ako ng prof ko neto. Dahan dahan akong pumasok sa classroom nakatalikod kasi yung prof namin wala naman pakealam yung mga classmates ko.

"Ms. Rivera you're late."

"Sorry sir."

"You know what to do. Right?" seryosong sabi niya.

Kaya nga ayokong malate dahil 30 minutes community service hay naku! baka mamumulot nanaman ako ng basura or worst I'm going to clean the Comfort room. Eww!!

"Sino bang may sabi sayo na malate ka alam mo naman yung prof nating yon, galing kasing public school kaya kung makautos kala mo di binabayaran." sabi ni Andy.

"Andy its not a big deal at all thus my second time to pick garbage, buti na nga lang eto lang pano pag pinalinis niya sakin yung CR mas eww yon!"

"Naku! Kapag yan ang nangyari isusumbong ko talaga yan sa daddy mo."

Dad is the most influence man he can use his connections to make sure that whoever hurt me will be out of their positions but I won't let that happen.

"Zari, do you have a boufriend?"

Napatigil ako sa pag pupulot sa tanong niya. I told you!

"Seriously?" tanging nasabi ko.

"Bakit mugto ang mga mata mo? Tapos lagi ka na lang malungkot."

"Its family problem thing Andy." natatawa kong sabi.

"OMG!! Luke is here!!" nanggi-gigil na sabi ni Andy.

Tumingin ako sa Luke na sinasabi ni Andy kita mo to may jowa na nga lumalandi pa pag ito talaga nalaman ni Denver ewan ko na lang.

"Isusumbong talaga kita." pang aasar ko tsaka kinuha ang dustpan at walis.

"Eto naman! Para sayo to no."

"Para sakin?"

"Para naman may jowa ka na for real."

"Not interested."

Nakita ko ang luke na nakatingin sa pwesto ko Gosh! He's so arrogant I know it by looking at his face.

"Hi Gab."

I just rolled my eyes to him I'm not interested to you man so get off you're such an arrogant and chickboy.

"Sungit, why don't we have lunch together?" he said.

"No thanks, I'm with Andy."

"Ah I'm sorry Zar but I'm with Denver he promise me something and its our monthsary."

Wow! Andy I know you just want me to have lunch with this guy. Palipat-lipat ang tingin ko kay Andy at Luke before I say my answer I rolled my eyes first.

"Fine!"
