Taming the Multi-billionaire CEO

Chapter 5: IG

Margaux's POV

After namin na nagpa whole body scrub ay nagpa alam na agad kami na uuwi since hapon na. Kailangan ko kasi talagang makauwi dahil mag mememorize pa ako kaya noong pag-uwi ko palang eh dumiretso na ako dito sa kwarto ko.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very special day for us as we lift our feet and take another step closer to what we perceive to become. I always prayed that all of our class would make it until this day and look, God heard my prayer. Thank you.....

Shit! ano pala yung susunod doon?" Inis na sambit ko habang pumapadyak ng malakas.

Aishhhhhhh! Bwiset talaga, hindi ako maka concentrate! Si Adrian parin kasi yung iniisip ko at kung ano yung magiging reaction niya kapag nakita niya ako.

Napaupo nalang ako sa bed ko tapos tinabi ko muna yung speech ko. Check ko muna yung social media accounts ko, baka may mas magandang news akong matatanggap.

"Ugh, nakakainis talaga 'tong Matt na ito!" Gigil na sambit ko habang binabasa yung caption ng sss post niya na naka tag sa akin. Nag post siya ng TB pictures ko noong Junior High palang kami tapos nilagyan niya ng nakakadiring caption.

"To my most beautiful flower, back then, you look so innocent when you stared at me for the first time. All I knew is that I already fell in love with you at that moment. These pictures are proofs that I've been watching you from afar while waiting for you to finally say "magpapaligaw na ako sa'yo." I'll be forever hopeful for that day to come, te amo Margaux." Muntikan na akong sumuka habang binabasa ko yung caption ni Matt.

"Yuck. Can't he just stop pestering me." Inis sa sabi ko habang tinitignan yung mga comments.

There are good comments but may mga bashers din. Well, wala naman akong pakialam kung anong sasabihin nila sa akin and duh, its not like nilalandi ko yung hari nila kuno. Dahil sa inis ko ay nag untag nalang ako sa post ni Matt.

Right after untaging myself from Matt's f*******: post ay biglang nag chat si Jen sa akin.

"Hey beech, I know that you already saw Matt's sss post. Ghad, he's so into you. I can't keep myself from laughing my ass here. Hahahahaha."

Nang-iinis na naman itong beech na 'to.

Maya-maya ay nag send pa siya ng video niya na tumatawa.

"Tapos ka ng tumawa? Tumahimik ka nga, na bwiset nga ako kay Matt tapos ganyan ka din." Reply ko sa chat niya.

"Hey, I'm just amuzed okey? Hahaha, BTW nasa tabi ko pala si kuya Adrian."

Biglang tumibok ng malakas yung puso ko dahil sa chat ni Jen. Nasa bahay nila si Adrian at katabi pa ito ni Jen? Ano kayang gagawin niya sa bahay nila Jen?

Hmmmm, matanong ko nga si Jen. I'm about to type my message to Jen but she sent me another message.

"Nakakunot ang noo niya sakin kasi kanina pa ako tawa ng tawa dito. Hahahahaha."

"Tigil na kasi!" I replied.

"Halla wait lsng!" Jen replied pero bakit may typo? Hindi ganito yung chat ni Jen if she's not in a rush.

"Ohhh, okey." I just replied while waiting sa chat niya.

Ilang minuto na yung lumipas pero wala parin siyang chat. Anong nangyari dun?

"Hey, still there?" Ako na yung nag chat sa kanya.

Itatanong ko pa sana sakanya kung bakit nasa bahay nila si Adrian pero active 3 minutes ago naman na siya.

What happened?

Since wala ng chat si Jen ay tinabi ko muna yung phone ko tapos kinuha ko yung speech ko para mag memorize ulit.

A few minutes later, narinig ko yung notification sound ko kaya agad kong dinampot yung phone ko para tignan.

Its a notif from my i********: kaya tinignan ko.

"Oh God!!! Kyaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! Oh my God, Oh my God!!!!"

Nagtatalon talon ako dahil sa tuwa and dahil din sa kilig sa nakita ko.

"Adrian followed me on i********:! Ghad, this is lit!"

Oh my God, eto na yung pinaka masayang araw ko. Does this mean na nagbibigay din ng motibo si Adrian sakin? Maybe he's starting to notice me now?

"I need to screenshot this one!"

Ipapakita ko kay Jen ito bukas, ghad I'm excited to see her epic face.

"Honey, dinner is ready. Bumaba kana okey?" Rinig kong sambit ni mommy sa labas ng room ko.

"Comming!" Sigaw ko mula sa loob.

I fixed myself then I walked downstairs with a wide smile pestered on my face.

Ang saya ko ngayon, hayyysss.

"Hi mom, hi dad." Masayang bati ko kila mommy at daddy noong naka upo na ako sa hapang kainan.

"You look so happy, what happened honey?" Dad asked me while eating his food.

"Hmmm, nothing." I denied.

"Okay?? Seriously, tell us why you look so happy." Mom asked me.

"Its just that someone accepted my follow request on Instagram." Sabi ko habang nakangiti.

Ghad, I still can't believe that Adrian did that.

May pag-asa na ba ako?

"And that someone is?" Tanong ni dad sa akin.

Nah, I can't tell them now. Maybe kapag naging kami na.

Yieeee, sana nga maging kami na.

"You like him do you? Well, your wide smile explains it all but we need your confirmation." Sabi naman ni mom.

Masyado bang halata?

"Uhmmm, well yes I do like him. Actually matagal na po." I lied about saying I like him.

Actually you're wrong mom, "like" isn't the right word, Its "LOVE."

I just agreed to mom, wala pa kasi kaming lebel Adrian.

"So, can you tell us his name atleast?" Tanong ni mom.

"Maybe soon mom, not now." I just smiled at her.

"Listen honey, we know that you're on the legal age already but take it slow ayt? Bata ka pa and you need to achieve lot of things first before focusing on your emotions. Lahat ng nangyayari ngayon ay puppy love lang at hindi pa permanent, your emotions will change and you'll just realize that all things that are happening now are just some sort of silly things. Be careful alright, put your studies first, kapag nakapag tapos ka na ng pag-aaral lots of men will crave for your attention." Payo ni dad sa akin.

He's overprotective but he's gentle and caring. Ang katulad ni dad yung ideal man ko but sadly kay Adrian ako nahulog. Adrian is snob and cold, he's nothing like my dad but I still fell in love with his own mysterious personality.

"Yes dad, first priority ko po yung pag-aaral ko." I replied to him.

"Good, now let's eat." Sabi niya.

We ate our dinner peacefully pero yung utak ko ay naka focus parin kay Adrian. What will I do next to make him notice me now that he got a bitchy girlfriend. Sanay naman na ako na binabalewala yung pride ko basta lang mapansin niya ako.

Laging sinasabi sa akin ni Jen na sikat daw ako sa school. Magaling, maganda, cheerleader and tinitingala ng madami so why would I step this slow just to beg for Adrian's attention.

Actually kahit ako ay hindi ko din alam kung bakit hindi ko kayang iwasan si Adrian, he's been hurting me every time we see each other but I can't give up on him. I'm hopelessly stucked with the thought of being with him someday.

After kong nag shower ay pinulot ko yung lalagyan ng speech ko and started memorizing but I'm thinking kung bakit wala pang chat si Jen sa akin.

What happened to her? Tatanungin ko nalang sa kanya bukas.

*****FAST FORWARD

Sunday ngayon and bukas na yung graduation namin pero wala pa yung gown na gagamitin ko. I threw my tantrums to mom kasi bakit ang tagal kasi ng delivery ng seller but she said she'll look into it. Baka mamayang hapon andito na daw yung dress na gagamitin ko.

"HEY BEECH, YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME!!!! Arghhhhhh! Kuya Adrian is annoying!!!! Nakakainis talaga!!!"

Nagulat ako noong biglang bumukas yung pinto ko tapos nakita ko si Jen na naglalakad ng padabog habang naka busangot.

Anong ginawa ni Adrian Kay Jen bakit inis na inis na naman siya?

"Can you please lower your voice? Nakakagulat ka, bakit bigla bigla kang susugod sa kwarto ko tapos ganyan ang itsura mo?" I asked her.

"Si kuya Adrian kasi, nakakainis talaga siyaaaaaaaa!!!!!" Gigil na sigaw ni Jen.

Okay, what happened?

"Instead of throwing tantrums, sabihin mo sa akin kung anong nangyari hindi yung gigil na gigil ka jan tapos hindi mo sinasabi kung anong dahilan." Inis na sabi ko kay Jen.

"Ganito kasi yon." She calmed down a little bit tapos naki upo sa kama ko.

"What? Spill it out beech or I'll kick you out from my house, I still need to memorize my speech." I said.

"Ganito nga kasi yun, diba kachat kita kagabi about sa f*******: post ni Matt tapos katabi ko si kuya Adrian nung time na yun. Tawa ako ng tawa tapos bigla niyang hinablot yung phone ko tapos tumayo siya, he scrolled something on my phone tapos bigla niyang hinulog yung phone ko! Alam kong sinadya niya iyon tapos sasabihin niya pang "ooppsss, it slipped away from my hand. Kukuhanan nalang kita ng bago bukas." Gigil na paliwanag ni Jen.

Why would Adrian do that? Baka naman may nabasa siya na hindi kanais-nais sa phone ni Jen.

"Gaga ka, baka naman may kalandian ka sa messenger mo tapos nakita niya iyon!" Sigaw ko kay Jen.

"Ano ba beech, naka ignore messages yung mga kalandian ko!" Sigaw ni Jen sa akin pabalik.

"Oh, bakit mo ako sinisigawan?!" Sigaw ko din sa kanya.

"Ikaw yung unang sumigaw!" Sigaw niya din sa akin.

Aba, beech talaga 'to.

"Bakit ba kasi..."

Naputol ang sasabihin ko sana noong nag salita si mom sa pintuan.

"Girls, rinig sa baba yung sigawan niyo. You left the door wide open so pati yung mga katulong rinig na rinig yung sigaw niyo." Sabi ni mom habang naka cross arms.

Uh-oh.

"Sorry mom."

"Sorry tita."

Sabay naming sabi ni Jen.

"Its alright but next time don't leave the door open and...... don't do that often, its so unladylike. Dalaga na kayo kaya iwasan niyong mag salita ng ganyan ayt?" Payo ni mom sa amin ni Jen.

"Hindi na po mauulit." Jen told mom.

Siniko naman ako ni Jen to do the same.

"Ahh yes, hindi na po mauulit." Sabi ko naman.

"Alright, its snack time. Bumaba muna kayo para mag meryenda." Sabi ni mom.

"Pwede po bang paki dala nalang po dito sa room ko yung snack namin? I need Jen to help me memorize my speech mom." I said.

"Alright, I'll tell them to bring it here."

"Thank you mom, sa terrace lang po kami ni Jen."

"Sige, baba na ako." Mom said and then she walked downstairs.

"Ayan, sigaw pa." Jen rolled her eyes on me.

"Sumigaw ka din naman ah." I replied.

"Oo pero ikaw yung nauna."

"Bahala ka jan. Tara na nga sa terrace, mag mememorize pa ako ng speech." I told her tapos nag lakad na ako papunta sa terrace.

"Gutom ako, sana damihan ng maid niyo yung snack natin. Hindi ako kumain ng agahan eh, hinintay ko kasi iting bagong phone ko na pinadeliver ni kuya Adrian." Sabi ni Jen tapos umismid.

Naiinis parin siya kay Adrian.

"Bakit ba kasi ginawa ni Adrian iyon?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Hindi ko alam okey? Minsan talaga gusto kong suntukin si kuya Adrian dahil sa pagka arogante niya." Jen rolled her eyes again.

Shit! Muntik ko ng kalimutan yung sasabihin ko kay Jen! Ghad!

Nagbalik yung excitement ko noong naisip ko yung about sa pag accept ni Adrian sa follow request ko sa kanya!!!

"Speaking of Adrian, he accepted my follow request sa i********: last night just after noong hindi ka na nagchat sa akin. Ghad, I'm so happy! Kinikilig ako hanggang ngayon, sheyt!" Sabi ko habang hinahanap yung screenshot.

"Weh? Where's your proof beech?" She asked me.

Alam kong hindi talaga siya maniniwala kaya ipapakita ko sa kanya itong screenshot.

"Ayan, para maniwala ka! Ambisyosa talaga ako pag dating kay Adrian but this is legit beech, LEGIT!" I said habang pinapakita sa kanya yung screenshot.

"Eh?! Ghad, nagiging tao na si kuya Adrian!" Jen said na halatang hindi din makapaniwala. Kahit ako ay hindi makapaniwala but well, its legit baby.

"Gaga ka, baka dummy account ni kuya Adrian iyan?" Tanong ni Jen.

"Ang gagu mo! Alam natin na ito yung official account niya, you followed him too right?" Sumbat ko sa kanya.

"Oo na! Its just that its unbelievable." She said.

"Well, he's Adrian after all. He's mah baby." I said then wicked at her.

"Capital D.U.H beech. DUH!" She replied.

"Whatever beech. Just help me with my speech ayt? Gusto kong ma impress si Adrian bukas."

"Fine." Jen surrendered.
