Micheel’s POV:
About a week later, nag maayos na yung tungkol sa amin ni Zane, we were scheduled to go to a dinner party along with some other important people. This event was considered overly formal. In other words it was kind of required to dress up in a royal and rich fashion.
On Saturday night I came downstairs in a dress and looked down to find Zane in a tux, with a purple tie and black dress shoes and everything.
Mukha siyang seryoso talaga at yung feeling na ang gwapo talaga niya sa totoo lang, tiningnan ko naman yung suot ko hays okay lang kaya to? But that didn’t seem to be the case for Zane since he was practically gaping at me.
"Lets Go?" Zane
"Sige" tapos yun lumabas na kami tska sumakay s car niya
pagdating namin sa lugar kung saan magaganap yung dinner party, parang nakaramdam ako ng kaba, I sense something wrong.
“Zane, kaninong bahay toh?”tanong ko
Huminga ng malalim si Zane tska nagsalita
"Kay Tiffany" Zane
"Ano?!" O__O bahay toh ni Tiffany ?!! BAKIT?!
“Look, sa totoo lang ayokong pumunta tayo dito kaso sila dad iniisip na mabuting tao si Tiffany, and Tiffany's parents are throwing this huge party and they forced me to go. ayoko lang talaga sabihin toh sayo” Paliwanag ni Zane
I took a deep sigh and looked out the window
“Well, nandito na tayo wala na tayong magagawa pa”
pagpasok namin ni Zane sa bahay nila Tiffany halos lahat sila nakatingin sa amin habang naglalakad kami
Andami kong nariring na mga babaeng nagsasalita ng,
“Wow…they look like a superstar couple”
“I bet their baby will be the prettiest thing on earth”
“Man! Ang swerte mo sa asawa mo ang ganda!”
Naramdaman kong na tense si Zane doon sa huling nagsalita tas bigla nalang napangiti
Di nagtagal nakita namin ni Zane si Tiffany, She was wearing a strapless white dress that perfectly showed her cleavage. The dress draped down to the ground and even had a tail of fabric in the back. Her make up was perfectly done and her hair perfectly curled. At that point, I really thought that Zane would go ahead and ditch me to go up to her. But he didn’t.
Nang makita kami ni Tiffany ngumiti siya then pumunta sa amin
“Why, how nice it is to see you Micheel” Tiffany, she unexpectedly hugged me, hard.
“Hey will you get your dirty hands off of my wife” Sabi ni Zane, na pinapalayo ako kay Tiffany
“Hinding hindi ka namin mapapatawad sa ginawa mo sa amin dati” Zane
“Hey. You could’ve stayed and had dinner with me but instead chose to leave. The choice was yours” Tiffany, putting on a smile. Obviously hiding the fact that she was mad that her plan didn’t work that time.
Sana naman walang masamang balak si Tiffany ngayong gabi
Nang magsimula na yung dinner Zane and I took our seats. I wasn’t always a picky eater but the food that was being served looked a little…well…dead…
Sitting in front of me was a salad with strange looking fruit and a few pieces of unidentified meat. The dressing that went along on top of it also looked peculiar. And when I put it in my mouth to taste it and give this salad a chance, I tried so hard to not spit it out. I knew it was rude to leave a full plate of salad uneaten, so I tried my best to consume it all.
I drank about two glasses of water to get it all down and when I was happy that I was done, another sickening meal was served upon me. I can’t even manage to describe this one. Something with strange meat with unidentified veggies on the side? I don’t know, but after even a whiff of this stuff, I didn’t want to eat anymore. Especially after I was nice enough to finish the salad. So I devised a plan: I would carefully scoop the food into my napkin, which was on my lap when no one was looking. And when Zane and I get home I could find something real to eat.
My plan was going pretty well, until I felt my dress getting wet. My eyes widened as I realized that my napkin was getting full. So when dessert was getting served, nag excuse muna ako para maka punta sa comfort room
pero hinid ko alam na habang papunta ako sa comfort room may sumusunod na pala sa akin
When I got to the bathroom I flushed down the food and washed the napkin before throwing it into the trash bin. Luckily, they had the exact same replica of the napkins for guests to use as towels. So I took one of those and headed outside, back to the dinner. Nang pagbukas ko ng pinto nadatnan ko si Tiffany na nakatayo sa harap ko
"Look who's here" Tiffany
"Ano na naman kailangan mo?" tanong ko
"Alam mo naman, kaya di mo na kailangan pang itanong kung ano kailangan ko" Tiffany na naka taas pa talaga kilay niya
Alam ko naman kung anong kailangan niya eh, halata naman sa himpokritang toh
“psh! whatever, hawakan niyo siya" Tiffany, di ko alam na habang naguusap kami may mga lalaki pala siyang kasama na nasa likod ko
I turned around to find about 3 big, strong looking guys. Then, at the sound of her command, they each grabbed one of my arms. They grabbed me so that I was between them and that I couldn’t move whatsoever. Like a single bead between a peace of strong string.
Suddenly, Tiffany came towards me, and kicked me in the stomach. Then she started throwing punches at my face. And before I knew it, she was practically abusing me.
It hurt. Real bad. And as much as I tried to break free from those guys, I couldn’t. They were too strong. I took punch after punch, kick after kick, and slap after slap. It hurt so bad that I started crying in pain. And finally, I found my voice.
“Tiffany! Tiffany please maawa ka.....TIFFANY, STOP!”
But before I could yell out the one thing I wanted to all along, Tiffany slapped me across the face. The tears dropped uncontrollably.
“Zane…” yun lang nasabi ko, hinang hina na talaga ako feel ko unting unti nalang bibigay na ako
"Bitawan niyo na siya" Tiffany
binitawan naman ako ng mga tauhan niya tapos bumagsak ako sa floor, It hurt even more as I hit the cold, hard marble floor. I could’ve ran away from her then, and get some help, but I was too weak. She had hurt me in too many places and I could barely crawl. I never knew that she would go to this extent…
And when she had told those guys to drop me I thought that it was finally over. But it wasn’t. I suddenly felt kicks in my stomach, my hair being pulled. I tried to fight back but as I tried to slap her across the face she stopped my hand and pulled it back. I seriously thought that she had broken it.
At that very point, I thought mamamatay na ako, kaya pumikit ako hahayaan ko na lahat, but instead may narinig akong boses
Boses ni Zane
"Micheel!"
Narinig ko yung mga footsteps niya na papunta sa akin, I felt him pick me up in his warm, strong arms. Only then did I finally feel safe. The one thing that had always made me feel at ease was his embrace.
“TIFFANY, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HER?!?!” Zane, na galit na galit
I still had some strength left in me to open my eyes. And when I did, I was so relieved to see Zane’s beautiful face. I was so happy to see him that I started crying even further. I buried my face into his chest to prevent him from seeing.
“H-H-H Hindi ako may gawa nyan!!” Tiffany
“Sinungaling!” Zane, He turned away from her and carried me out but I could barely see his face now because I was crying so hard. In both hurt and happiness.
