Chapter 29 Not married

I let out a small smile when she finally let me go. I probably looked constipated in front of her right now. At hindi ko rin alam sa sarili ko kung bakit... kung bakit hindi ko siya kayang mabigyan ng totoong ngiti ngayon. I mean, I don't know, really. I know I am being unfair to her... but I am only telling the truth.

"How are you? It's been years, Trin..." she asked softly. May maliit itong ngiti sa labi ngunit maya maya ay bigla itong nawala. She frowned at me. "Why... why did you change your last name, Trin? You change it into Yaya Delia's last name. Silverio huh? Ganun na ba 'yon? Kinakahiya mo talaga ang apelyido natin?"

Napakunot ang noo ko at hindi maiwasang mamangha sa sinasabi niya. I am sarcastically amazed of her words right now. Well, who wouldn't? Nagpunta lang ba siya dito para punahin 'yan? Tch.

"You know why Beatriz. I don't have to explain myself. And no, hindi ko kinakahiya ang apelyido niyo because in the first place, ako ang kinakahiya nina Mommy at Daddy." I said nonchalantly.

Beatriz eyed widened a bit before shaking her head like she was dissapointed at me. I sighed. Who cares if she's dissapointed right now or what. I've been living with disappointment my whole life, nothing's new.

"You really changed, Trin. You changed into a monster. Wala ka ng pagmamahal kina Mommy at Daddy. You don't even care for our family. All you think about is yourself." She spat out angrily. It took me seconds to process he words inside my head. Really? Siya pa ang nagsasalita niyan ngayon? I know that she witnessed how our own parents disregard me like a total trash, and now? Seriously? I can't believe it. Buong akala ko ay maiintindihan niya ako dahil isa siya sa mga nakakita kung paano ako tratuhin ng pamilya namin, tapos ngayon?

"I didn't change, Beatriz. I just upgraded. And please, if you're just here to tall about your family, then it's better that you should just leave an—" I wasn't able to finish my words when she slapped me. Tumabingi ang mukha ko sa gilid at halos matulos ako sa kinatatayuan dahil sa bigla.

Did she just...

Marahas ko siyang nilingon. "What the fuck is your problem, Beatriz?"

"Wala kang kwenta!" she shouted dahilan para maagaw namin ang atensyon ng ibang models at staff na nasa backstage na rin.

I scoffed. Is this really fucking Beatriz? Because I swear to God, I'm not gonna forgive her for slapping me!

Before I could even speak up ay may tumawag sa pangalan niya. It was... the bastard. Gayon pa man ay hindi ko pa rin iniiwas ang tingin ko sa kakambal ko na ngayon ay nakatitig sa akin ng mariin. Her eyes speaks so much loath and disgust, and everything that I refuse to name.

"What happened?" Monteserio asked worriedly, holding Beatriz arms like he was calming him down. I didn't talk kahit na ramdam ko ang titig nito sa akin. Really now?

Hinihintay kong magsalita si Beatriz to confirm something. Let's see how true what Raf really said about her, having some bad vibes.

"C-Claus... Let's go home..." nanginginig nitong sabi na para bang ako pa 'yong sumampal sa kaniya. She was even holding her right cheek for God's sake! Is it just me or Beatriz turns into an actress?!

"What happened, Oleya?" his voice were soft but I refused to look at him. I was just glaring at Beatriz the whole time. How fucking dare she!

"She--she.... Saint Claus what are you doing?!" malakas na sigaw ulit ni Beatriz nang bumitaw si Claus sa kaniya at lumapit sa akin. I was too focused on glaring at Beatriz na hindi ni na halos naramdamang nakalapit na pala ang gago.

Hindi ako nakaangal ng bigla nitong sapuhin ang mukha ko. He caressed the left side of my cheeks where I was slapped with his thumb. It was so soft and gentle na kung ginawa pa lamang ito noon ni Claus sa dating Beautrin ay baka tuluyan na naman akong nagpakatanga.

"This is red, love. What happened, hm?" I gulped before glaring at him. I swat his hands on my face harshly at umatras. I heard him let out a loud sigh.

"Claus! She slapped me first! Masakit din ang pisngi ko!" Beatriz shouted angrily.

I clenched my jaw before looking at the two... what do you call these two again? Ah... assholes.

"Don't fucking come near me again, Mr and Mrs Monteserio. I hope to never see your faces ever again," malamig kong saad bago sila tuluyanh tinalikuran at pumasok sa loob ng dressing room.

Indira was already changed kaya nagbihis na rin ako. The fashion show won't end like this. We'll be having an after party so we'll get to know of the possible investors and customers for our brands.

I just wore a vintage burgundy spaghetti strap dress with a high slit. My right leg is completely on the show and I'm loving of how the dress hugs my body. Sobrang kapit kaya nahulma ang katawan ko. I smirked while looking at my own reflection on the full-length mirror.

After giving birth to Indira, I never thought that my body will turn out like this. I mean, medyo lumaki ang baywang ko maging ang aking pwet, and of course, hindi rin papahuli ang aking dibdib. It was even bigger lalo na't paminsan minsan, kapag tinutopak si Indira ay bigla bigla nalang dumidede sa akin. I just get used to it. She always find comfort with my boobs so...

When I was done, Indira was already sleeping on Raf's arms. Miya took care of Indira at sinabing mauuna na lang daw siya sa condo. Hindi sana ako papayag dahil okay lang naman sa akin na silang dalawa na ni Raf ang maiwan rito but she insisted kaya wala na akong nagawa pa.

Pagkaalis ni Miya at Indira ay kaagad na kaming nagtungo sa event hall. I was holding Raf's arm the whole time we were talking to some people. They were pretty interested with our designs and they promised to call us if ever.

Nang makaramdam ng pagka-gutom ay humiwalay na muna ako kay Raf. There are foods where we can choose freely. All of them were delicious pero unti lang siguro ang kakainin ko ngayon.

"Beautrin..." halos mapaigtad ako ng may humawak sa aking braso. Napairap nalang ako ng makilala. Of course, no the than the gagoest of all the gago.

"Bitaw." I raised my brow at him pero imbes na sundin ako ay hinapit pa nito ang baywang ko papalapit sa kaniya. Mariin akong napapikit ng maramdaman ang harapan niya sa aking tiyan. For God's sake!

Para akong natuod ng haplusin nito ang likuran ko. He's hands are almost too close to my butt! For God's sake! What the fuck is he doing?!

"I'm not married to her, love, please. I just wanted to get married to you. Only you, Beautrin. You'll be my Mrs. Monteserio and no one else."
