Kiss of hatred

Hate 2

Chapter 2

"How many times do i have to tell you Josh. Nix is just my brother's bestfriend nothing more. Why do you keep on accusing me?" pasigaw na sagot ni Aya sa kabilang linya ng katawagan niya. Nap-frustrate na siya sa lalaking ito na walang sawang tinatanong kung sino si Nixon at kaano-ano niya ito.

"Then why did he fetch you right after our date and ruined the mood? The fuck Anayah no man wants to be just friends with you. Everyone has a motives too." pagalit na sagot ni Josh sa kanya.

"And that goes same to you asshole. You say everyone? Then you're one of them. Stop pestering me and don't you dare call me back again. I don't need a loser with inferiority problem like you. Go to hell!" Sigaw ni Aya saka mabilis na pinatay ang tawag at hinagis ito sa kama. Kaagad siyang uminom ng tubig saka binuksan ang pinto na kanina pang kinakatok ng kuya niya.

"Another bastard suitor that has been busted by you?"

"Why are you here kuya? I'm not in the mood right now."

"It's because akala nila Mommy nasa loob ng kwarto ang kaaway mo sa lakas ng boses mong sumigaw. Anyway cool up your temper down and get ready. Mamaya na magsisimula ang birthday party ng mama ni Nixon, you know we are invited right?"

Kaagad siyang sumimangot at tumingin sa kuya niya.

"Do i really need to be there? I'm so tired and all. I just wanna lay down and sleep." saka siya humiga.

"You know mom will be mad. And Tita specifically told me to bring you."

Nixon's mother adore her like a daughter. Every occasions or event that happens, his mother never forget to give her something. Jewelries, branded bags and dresses and many more. Even a car. Kaya kaagad siyang bumagon para maghanda baka ipasundo siya nito kagaya ng nangyari dati ng minsang nakalimutan niyang birthday pala nito.

"We'll be expecting you to finish early. Baka matraffic tayo sa daan. You hate traffics."

A month from now, gagraduate na siya ng college. Kaya masyadong naging busy ang every day life niya na naging dahilan ng pagkabuyset niya sa traffic. At dumagdag pa si Josh na ilang beses na niyang nakaaway. At first stage of dating, ayos pa naman ito. Boyfriend material and a dream guy. Pero habang nagtagal mas napapansin niyang napapadalas ang pagaaway nila dahil sa selos nito. Naiintindihan naman niya ito dahil minsan nakakainis na ang biglaang pagsulpot ni Nixon sa mga dates nila.  Pero hindi niya kayang tiisin ang pagsisigaw nito minsan sa kanya na parang pinapalabas ni Josh na nagloloko siya. So she decided to end it with him. Nakakapagod na din naman siyang intindihin ehh.

The party was classic. Tanging mga piling bisita lang ang imbitado kaya hindi na siya magtataka kung may magpagandahan na naman ng mga suot na diyamante at damit ang mga bisita. May mga reporters din kasing invited. Hindi pa inaannounce ang pagdating nila kaya hinintay na muna niya ang kuya niya. Pero nagulat siya ng imbes na ang kuya niya ang dumating, Si Nixon ang tumabi sa kanya saka inilahad ang braso sa kanya.

"Where's my brother? And why are you here?"

"Mom's instructions. Let's go."

Wala siyang nagawa kundi tanggapin ang alok nito saka tumingin sa likod. And there she saw her parents with her brother na magisang papasok.

"Next let's welcome the son of the celebrant and the president of the biggest Department stores and Advertising company in the world Mr. Nixon Lutolf with her stunning and gorgeous partner Ms. Anayah Conard daughter of the owner of Conard Groups of companies."

At kasabay ng paglalakad nila ang sabay-sabay na pagflash ng mga camera at ng bulung-bulongan ng mga bisita. She doesn't care why and just keep on smiling ang posing in front of the cameras.
