Sinundan ko naman siya hanggang sa library. I really didn't imagine a Grint Jang like me would do this kind of shit. Me, an heir of Jang clan?
"Hey! Ms. who didn't bother to introduced herself! Talk to me!" tawag ko sa kanya pero umakto itong di ako naririning. Tuloy tuloy itong pumasok sa loob ng library.
"Hoy! Pangit! I told you, talk to me" kunot noo kong sambit.  Pero wala talaga siyang balak pansinin ako. I look like I'm begging for this ugly girl's attention. A very out of character but this will be worth it so let's not stop.
"Wife!" Tawag ko at nagtinginan lahat ng nasa paligid. Kunot noo niya akong tiningnan, kitang kita kung gaano ka iritado ang mukha niya
"Shut up!" inis na sambit nito at tumuloy na sa pamimili ng libro but I keep on following her. Maya maya pa ay kumuha na ito ngunit bago pa siya makapunta sa librarian ay hinarang ko na siya.No, I wouldn't deal with this. I pinned her to the shelves at nilapit ang mukha ko sa kanya.
"I said talk to me" seryosong sambit ko.
"Mrs. Cruz!" tawag niya sa librarian. Sinubukan niyang makatakas mula sa akin. Her feeble efforts was no use because everyone here is on my side.
Kita ko kung paano sumulyap sa kanya ang librarian at muling bumalik sa ginagawa niya.
"Mrs. Cruz!!"ulit niya pa. Ngunit di siya nito pinansin. I smiled. See? I make the rules.
You may not recognize me but everyone did.
"Okay fine"she stated in defeat at itinaas and dalawang braso. Napansin niya sigurong hindi na talaga siya papansinin nito.Agad ko siyang pinakawalan.
Naglakad siya sa isang table sa bandang likod at doon umupo.
"What do you want to say?" taas kilay niyang tanong. Umupo ako sa table na mas lalong pinanlisik ng mata niya.
"Mannerless as always" bulong niya na dinig ko, pero di ko siya pinansin.
" I want you to pretend as my girlfriend" napatigil ito na tila pinoproseso ang sinabi ko. She looked at me with a confused look.
"For what? And what if I don't want to?" She retarted and look at me straight into the eyes. I know this isn't an easy feat but I get what I want.
"Only for a day, I give you anything you want and I'll compensate you enough." I started. She shot me with a confused look as if asking for answers.
"Bakit ako?" seryoso niyang sambit. Her two big eyes magnified by the two pairs of glassed looked at me asking for explanations. I crossed my legs.
"No reason, but I'll love it if you do." simple ko lang sagot.
"Ayoko" she firmly stated before she started flipping through pages of her book.
I guess that much, I mean this is a crazy request if you know who my family is but she doesn't know. But I never enter I fight I couldn't win and I wanna put an end into my family's madness.
"Why?" I asked. Tiningnan niya naman ako at ngumiti tsaka sinundot ang noo ko na namaga dahil sa ginawa niya. She laughed.
"Hey!" reklamo ko sa sakit at napahawak sa noo ko.
"It's swelling, and besides if I became your girlfriend, I'll make sure you'll wake up homeless after that" tumatawang paliwanang niya. At muling bumalik sa pagkakaupo.
"Ikaw ang bahala, do anything you want to" seryoso kong sagot.
Nakita kong natigilan siya bago napangiti, I know she's planning something but who cares?
"Fine," maikli niyang sagot at tipid na ngumiti. At last!
Tumalon ako sa lamesang kinauupuan ako at tumayo. I faced her and she looked at me with a smirk.
"Friday 4pm at the canteen"  I stated and she just nodded. I smiled with how I successfully convinced her. Whatever plan she has was another problem.
"Good afternoon Mr. Grint" bati ng librarian.
Tiningnan ko naman siya at nginitian na parang ikinagulat niya. I don't usually greet people but let's not ruin the mood. I paced through the front door. I better tell these news to that old man.
"Woahhhh! That would be bloody" halos hindi makapaniwalang sambit ni Ekon, one of my bro.
"Goosebumps..." Sambit ni Tristan na umaktong napayakap sa sarili.
"Mean" that's Mr. Quiet, Kero.
I told them about my plan of bringing the girl to the family reunion. They all know how rotten my folks are and that this would be a challenge to every woman.
Ng makita kong papalapit sa kinaroroonan namin si Ayla ay tinapik ko ang balikat ng tatlo bago sinenyasan na aalis na ako.
"Wife." salubong ko kay Arc at nakita ko naman ang pag irap nito.  I toom her hands at hindi pinansin ang mga nagbubulungang parang mga bubuyog sa canteen.
Agad naman niyang tinapik ang kamay ko.
"Enough with that bullshit endearment, and don't touch me" seryoso nitong sambit na tila diring diri sa tawag ko sa kanya. These damn attitude, I love it.
Sinuyod ko muna siya ng tingin. Messy bun, White shirt, pants and sneakers and her geek glasses of course.
"You look---uhmmm" umakto akong nagiisip habang sinusuyod ang kabuuan niya.
"I look good, and besides this is the only pairs I have right now" deretso nitong sambit bago naunang umalis.
Napailing iling ako bago siya sinundan. I don't even care but I might just give you a hard time, this is a perfect chance after all.
It's still early, the reunion will start at 8. So we have a lot of time to spend.
First stop over, salon of course.
"Good afternoon mr. Jang! How can I help you?"masayang salubong sa amin ng isang bakla na isa sa mga tanyag na make up artist sa Pilipinas.
"Make her beautiful" simpleng utos ko at itinuro ang babaeng nasa gilid ko.
"Ohhh, I never thought you love treating your maids, As expectes to the Jang Family haha" awkward na ngiti nito kay Ayla at sinuyod siya ng tingin. His stares are full judgement.
I wanna laugh at how sharp her glares are at the make up artist. I don't expect her to be insulted by those kind of remarks, I thought she hear those quite often.
"MR. JANGGG!" rinig kong sigaw ng make up artist mula sa make up room. I don't know what she did but I just know she's giving them a hard time.
Lumabas sila ng make up room na mukhang maayos ang lagay bukod sa make up artist na tila na stressed ang boung pagkatao sa kung ano man ang ginawa sa kaniya.
"I didn't know you brought such a difficult client Mr. Jang,  siya lang ang nagiisang babaeng gustong mamake upan ng may glasses tapos gusto niya pang takpan ang mga tigidig niya sa mukha. Haishhh!" taas ang dalawang kilay na usal ni bakla.
"Mas may manners naman ang tigidig ko kaysa sayo noh" pabulong pero rinig na rinig na sambit ni Ayla mula sa loob ng make-up room.
Tumaas naman ang kilay ng make up artist bago rumampa. I can say he's already done with her bullshit. I see, this girl ain't easy.
"Let's go, we have lot more to do" aya ko kay Ayla pagkalabas na pagkalabas.
"Kailangan bang mag ayos ng sobra para kumain? Tss. I shoudn't have agreed with this bullshit!"
Lumapit naman ako ng sa kanya pero di ito nagpatinag at lumaban ng titigan. Mas lalo ko pang nilapit ang mukha ko hanggang sa maging isang pulgada nalang ang layo namin sa isat isa.
"B-but I don't take my words back. Tch." agad agad naman itong bumitaw sa titigan at naglakad pa alis.
Her reaction is pfft! Nakakatuwa siyang asarin HAHAHAHA Mukhang maeenjoy ko to.
"Hoy! I saw you blushed" habol ko ng sigaw dito.
"Bilisan mo na kasi naiirita na ako sa make up ko" kunot noo nitong sambit at agad pumasok sa kotse KO.
"You blushed HAHAAHA" pang aasar ko pa.
"You know what? Your ass must be jealous for all the shit that comes out of your mouth!" inirapan niya ulit ako.
"Okay, where do we go next?hmmm?" Umakto akong nag iisip bago inistart ang kotse.
We stopped at the front of a famous fashion boutique.
Welcoming ang mga tao dito so I expect everything to go smoothly. Agad kaming nagsimulang magsukat ng damit habang ako ay nakaupo sa isang silya upang makapili ng sosoutin niya.
Sinadya kong paulit ulitin siya ng bihis kahit satisfied ako sa mga damit. I like how she rolled her eyes every time I says "no" in each and every clothes.
"That was the last set, Mr. Jang" sambit ng manager na nag entertain sa amin. She looked afraid and trembling because I don't seem satisfied with their products but I just brushed it off.
"Then, Let me take that" utos ko sa kanya na para bang lumiwanag ang mga mata, agad naman itong tumango at umalis.
She's wearing a sleeveless, peach colored dress up to her knees. And a sandal in the same color with only one inch heels.
Nilibot ko at sinuri ang kabuuan niya. For the nth time nakatanggap na naman ako ng isang irap.
"Okay, there is one last thing left to do" tiningnan niya naman ako ng 'I'm already tired' look.
"Remove your make up and change back to your own clothes, I like it your usual clothes more" pagkasabi nun ay tumaray na naman siya bago nagdadabog na nag martsa papunta sa comfort room.
"Pag tapos mo ko pagodin? Hayys!"Inis na inis na bulong nito habang naglalakad kami papunta sa parking lot.
"It's part of the process and as I said I love your usual attire more" palusot ko bago siya pumasok sa loob ng kotse.
"Siguro naman walang ng ibang process diba?"
"Nope, let's go the main event" I stated bago sinimulang paandarin ang kotse.
