No Ordinary Playboy (PUBLISHED UNDER LIFEBOOKS - The 2018 Wattys Winner)

Chapter 6

Kanina pa nagsimula ang event at kanina pa ako nagpalakad-lakad dito.

"Hey! Isaac, right?" pukaw ng isang matandang lalaki.

Isa siguro sa mga ka-sosyo ng matanda.

"Right. I'm Isaac Dryle. One of the Guevarra's..."

"Gems? The Guevarra's are gifted with young and handsome gentlemen. And anytime..."

Lumagok muna ito ng inumin bago nito tinuloy ang pagsasalita.

"Anytime can be use to make lifetime partnership with other wealthy families."

"You've got a point. We're just instruments for those old businessmen," sabi ko at nang may dumaang waiter na may dalang drinks ay kumuha na rin ako ng wine glass.

"No, I don't intend to..."

"If it's okay, I'll excuse myself."

Tinalikuran ko siya at naghanap ng ibang lugar.

"Sacky, wait!"

May babaeng lumapit sa akin.

"Can you join us?"

Muli nitong sabi sabay turo doon sa labas. At andoon ang lahat. Kaya pala ang mga matatanda lang nasa loob.

"Sure."

Sumama ako sa kanya. And as expected, no one can resist my charm.

"Enjoying the night?" sabi ko nang makalapit sa mga kasamahan niya.

"Of course. Because you are here."

They smiled.

"You know what? The whole Spenteire University was in chaos after hearing about your relationship with that Engineering girl," sabi ng isang kasamahan nila.

"Yup! I know someone who lost her appetite after hearing that. That poor fat idiot thinks she can have you. She's just dreaming, right girls?"

And they started to toast their drinks.

"Those unfortunate ugly ducklings can't even attend this private event because of their low profile families. Such a pity," ani naman ng isa sa kanila while slightly shaking her wine glass.

"Sorry but I don't want to hear you talking about others when I'm here," sabi ko sa kanila.

And I gave them a very disappointed look.

One thing that I hate the most is bullying. I gave every girls my attention so that they won't feel alone and disregarded. As much as possible I can be with them.

I want to give them the love and atention that I can't give to the person dearest to me.

"Ah, sorry for being rude. Let's just talk about some other things."

"No! I also want to play."

Napalingon kami sa pinanggalingan ng sigaw. At tama nga ang duda ko.

Sino pa ba ang kayang gumawa ng eksena sa mga ganitong okasyon?

"Oh, our little brat is here."

Pinuntahan ko sila. Andoon na rin sina Zooey at Tristan.

"What's going on princess?"

Agad kong tanong sa kanya. Bumaba pa ako ng kaunti para pumantay sa height niya.

"I want to go car rac..." Biglang tinakpan ni Tristan ang bibig niya.

"Mona secret lang natin yun."

Napaupo na rin si Tristan habang nagpupumiglas si Mona.

Pambihirang bata. Nakikisali pa sa gawain ng mga matatanda. Saka malaking problema pagkumalat na magca-car racing kami. Another issue na naman sa buong angkan ng Guevarra pag ganoon.
