"Rey!" saway ng ama ni Rey.
Rinig kong tumawa sina Tristan as his Dad and grandpa clears their throat.
"Where did you learn that, Little Rey?" natatawang tanong ng ina ni Siej as Siej help me drink some water again.
"Are you okay?" bulong ni Siej sa akin.
Naramdaman kong namumula ang pisngi ko. I can feel his breath in my neck. It's so itchy.
Tumango ako sa tanong niya at yumuko sa mesa saka nagpatuloy ng kumain. I won't listen to them.
"Sa mga yaya ng classmates ko po, Lola. I heard them talk about having some younger siblings and how the babies are made," paliwanag ni Rey.
Nanlaki ang mata ko as i swallow my food at pekeng umubo as i look at Little Rey.
"Don't mind him, Adriana," ani ng ama ni Rey na si Trey as he put some food on Rey's mouth at ngumiti ng peke sa akin.
"O-Okay lang..," mahinang usal ko as i calm myself.
Tumawa lang ang ina ni Siej kaya Siej's grandpa stop her kasi nasa harap kami ng hapag.
Para na tuloy akong iiyak dito as i tried to eat again kahit nawalan na ako ng gana sa kanila.
Hanggang natapos ang kainan namin ay binibiro pa rin ng ina ni Siej si Rey about sa sinabi niya kanina.
Napailing nalang si Siej sa ina niya as he guides me to a room upstairs.
"She can stay in your room, Tryton as you both will be married soon enough!" rinig kong sigaw ng ina ni Siej sa amin downstairs kaya napakamot nalang ako sa batok ko.
"Don't mind my Mom, Ria she's just so glad you noticed them," aniya.
Habang naglalakad ay tinignan ko siya at nagtanong.
"Bakit masaya siyang napansin ko ang mama mo?"
"W-Well..," i can see his cheeks burning.
Bakit kaya..?
"As I've said in the tree, Ate Ria, You won't talk to us besides Uncle Tryton as you are so obsessed with him, tsk," biglang sabat ni Rey.
I turn around at nakita ko si Rey na nakatayo malapit sa amin.
Lumakad siya palapit sa amin and he suddenly wrapped his arms in my waist tightly.
"What are you doing, Rey Avis?" malamig na sambit ni Siej but Rey didn't budge.
The little man is burying his face in my stomach. I can feel him sniffing me kaya nakikiliti tuloy ako.
I look at Siej asking for help pero i can feel his eyes getting darker as he look down on me and stare at his nephew.
"Rey," tawag nito.
"..." hindi ako umimik.
"..." i can feel Rey's breath increasing.
"If you don't get away with her, you won't have a baby sister!" pananakot ni Siej kay Rey na ikinagulat ko.
Nararamdaman ko tuloy na namumula ang pisngi dahil sa sinabi niya.
Anong baby sister sinasabi niya!?
Mabilis na bumitaw si Rey sa akin at lunayo ng kaunti sa amin ni Siej as he smile widely at us.
"You better promise me to have a baby sister, Uncle Tryton or I'll mess up all your important documents in your office," seryosong sambit ni Rey kay Siej in a business manner.
Kumunot ang noo ko sa inakto ng dalawa. Rey is just a little boy pero kung umasta parang matanda na.
"Promise," ani Siej sabay taboy kay Rey.
I can feel Rey being reluctant to leave me with Siej pero dahil sa promise na iyon ay ngumiti na naman ito at umalis na.
Siej opened the door nasa tabi lang pala namin at bumungad sa akin ang malaking kwarto na kulay itim.
"Kaninong kuwarto ba 'to?" tanong ko kay Siej na ngayo'y nakasunod sa likod ko.
"My room," aniya.
Mabilis akong naglakad palapit sa malaking sofa sa mini living room niya as i look at him.
"Bakit dito mo ako dinala? Marami namang kuwarto sa bahay mo..," kinakabahan kong sabi sa kaniya.
He chuckles, "You're my soon-to-be wife, Adriana."
Umiling nalang ako as he sat down on his king size bed.
"What's your plan for that woman?" biglang tanong niya sa akin kaya napasandal ako sa sofa niya.
"Well.. I want her to taste what it feels like to be disgusted by society," seryosong sambit ko.
"By what?"
"She likes attention, I'll give her that. She wants pity, I'll also give her that," nakangiting sabi ko at tumingin sa kawalan.
Blangko ang buhay ko sa mundo na akala ko'y totoo pero it's just a clone world. But the book that I'm reading na nakasulat doon ang buhay ng mga taong mahal ko, my so-called life by being the villainess.
"She also wants you..," mahinang usal ko.
I know he heard that kasi tumayo ito at lumakad papalit sa akin.
He's standing in front of me now as he look down and stare at me kaya i stared back at him.
"I don't like her and I don't even know her, Ria," malumnay niyang sabi.
Hindi ako umimik at nakatitig lang ako sa maamo niyang mukha.
"Why are you pushing me away to her? Is it because she clings to me every day by using your body?" aniya.
Bumuntong huminga ako sa sinabi niya. There's that.
"I push her away all the time 'cause i know it's not you. Pero noong na ospital ka dahil sa pagkabagok ng ulo mo sa kuwarto mo that's when I noticed something is wrong with you," I can feel his voice shaking.
Umiwas tuloy ako ng tingin sa mukha niya.
He suddenly bent down his knees kaya gulat kong binalik ang tingin sa kaniya.
"I knew it was you because of your habits. And it was then proved by your answers," aniya, "So.. don't push me away this time, Ria 'cause I won't listen to you."
Napapikit ako sa sinabi niya.
"I want to protect you like a man you want me to be," seryosong sambit niya as both his hands held my face.
"It's just that.. I still don't know what i feel about you," mahinang usal ko as i look down.
Ang daming nangyari. He used to be the male lead in the book i read pero hindi pala totoo ang libro na nabasa ko as it's just a key para makabalik ako rito sa totoong mundo.
And now, he has become my childhood friend, the brother i wish to have na ngayon ay naging fiancé ko. I know i have feelings for him pero i want him to wait for a bit.
I can feel his breath near me. Ang naging malamig niyang mga palad sa mukha ko.
"I understand. I'll wait for you though you can't change that I'm already your fiancé," he firmly says at binitawan na ang mukha ko.
"I'll help you do something with that woman. I may not know what she does wrong to you but I'll support everything you do," sabi niya and added, "You want to kill a person, I'll be the one to bury her."
Ngumiti ako dahil sa sinabi niya. He's a cold man but he's sweet. I may fall for him long ago but i still want him to wait as i have to solve Sara first.
That woman. I'll do what i want with you tomorrow. Makikita mo kung paano ako magalit, Sara Rougn.
The real villainess in the story. Ako lang ang bida ng istorya ko. I want her to taste what the villainess, Adriana Pierce which is me, feels like in the book.
