Trouble
I'm not a bad girl but I always cause trouble because of my clumsiness, They said that I'm such a hard-headed, I'm not listening on what they said which is the 'good' one for me so I end up involving to a trouble accidentally or should I say Unintentionally.
We're not rich, we are just millionaire but not billionaire, I have a Three bitch stepsisters who's always insecure towards me because I can describe myself as a princess and they are a Frog.
My mom died when I was still a kid and after how many years my dad marry again, A Woman name Olivia, The mother Frog who have a Three Daughter Frogs name Amaria, Aria, laria.
I can say that I'm a black sheep of our family- Opss, I forgot to say that they are not my Family, I only have my dad who's now cold towards me. Happy right?
Teka nga? Bakit ba ako naga English? Ow! Para nga pala kunyari Mayaman, Katulad nung mga feeling na babae sa school na akala mo naman ay ikakaganda nila yung pag eh-english para lang masabing 'Mayaman' sila.
Buti pa ako Hindi mayabang, Hindi nagsasabi ng stado sa buhay dahil sa totoo lang ay gusto ko mag paka low-key, You know, we're not Rich kase, We're just Millionaire but not Billionaire.
Hindi rin ako ganun kaganda maaari mo lang ako ihalintulad Kay Goddess Aphrodite, Hindi rin ako maputi kaya hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit napagkakamalan nila akung Snow white.
Pero ang higit sa lahat. Hindi ako malandi gaya ng stepsisters ko kaya ito ako ngayun nag iimagine kung paano ko aagawin si Akihiro kay Aika.
"Ma'am pinapatawag po kayo ng Daddy nyo," One of our maid suddenly Called me.
"Why daw?" I ask.
"Hindi ko po alam Ma'am," Sagot nya.
"Alright, Lalabas na." I said before open the door of my room and went to Study room.
"What is your plan on your 18th birthday Zarina?" My dad ask.
"Sleep?" I shrug.
"Your Mom is planning a huge party. Help her with that," Utos nito. I mentally rolled my eyes.
It's her plan pala, Why would I help her?
"My mom? How come? We have our comfortable bed but she still choose to lay down on the Coffin," I smile sadly that makes my dad shut his mouth.
"Your Mom, Olivia." Malamig nyang pagtatama. I just sigh, What else can I do but to obey him.
"Erkiss," I whisper.
Lumabas ako pagtapus non at agad bumungad ang Mother Frog ng tatlung Frog.
Hindi ako nito pinansin kaya hindi ko na rin pinansin but sad to say dahil ng magkatapat kami ay aksidente kung natapakan bigla ang mahabang Saya niya dahilan kung bakit to nasira habang ako naman ay natumba.
"Ouch," Daing ko.
"Oh my ghod!" She exclaimed while looking at her long Skirt that is now have a slit.
Napangiwe Naman ako at kapit ang balakang na tumayo, Hindi yata ako makakasali sa PE namin nito bukas ah.
"Urgh! How Clumsy!" Sigaw nito sa mismung Mukha ko, She's now like a mad dragon that will blow me a fire in just a few seconds.
"Sorry about that," Sabi ko sakto namang dumating yung tatlo nyang anak na palaka ganun din si Dad na mukhang narinig ang malakas nitung Kokak.
"What's happening?" My Dad ask.
"Nothing, I just slip-up," I shug my shoulders.
"What?! Nothing? Look what happened because of your Silly and Clumsy actions?! You are now turning 18 Zarina! Act like a lady," The Mother Frog shout at me madly.
"Zarina, The Trouble maker again," I heard Amaria Comment.
"Ano pa nga ba ang aasahan?" Sagot naman ng kapatid. Napairap nalamang ako sa kanila at nag paalam na bababa lang, Doon ko naabutan ang Ilang kaibigan ng aking Stepsisters na kararating lang, Sa Dami nilang dalang gamit ay para na silang dito titira.
"Hi Clums," Ngisi nilang bati, Tinapunan ko lang sila ng tingin bago nilampasan.
"As I remember, this house is not a Zoo, I wonder why y'all are here?" Napasinghap sila at sumama ang tingin sa akin. Di ko nalang pinansin at dumiritso na sa Garden.
Clums, They're calling me that because I'm 'Clumsy' daw, Diba? Naging Nickname ko na But, duh? Did they think I care?
"Bitch," Rinig ko pang Bulong nito.
The guts of them, Hindi ba nila naisip na nasa pamamahay ko sila? Idiots, Baka hindi nila alam na sa akin ililipat ang pangalan nitong bahay, Let's just wait until my 18th birthday come.
Nanatili ako doon at naupo sa Isang swing bago itunulak yun gamit ang aking paa para gumalaw.
"Hey Mom, My 18th birthday are near, I wish your here, I wish your the one who's going to choose my dress and the one who's going to fix my hair, I know you once planed my party, I saw it on your diary But now? I know it's all just a plan," I smile sadly "I don't want to have a party anymore, I just want to go in cemetery and talk to you alone, How can I forget the pain I am carrying for almost a year now? How can I be happy?" I sigh, Just how?
Napaangat ang tingin ko sa Veranda ng Study Room sa itaas at nakita ko doon ang Papa ko na kasalukuyang nakatingin sa aking pwesto, Napa baba nalang ako ng tingin sa lupa.
How I miss those times that my family are still not broken and No frogs.
Ng mawala si Mama at iginugol nya ang Buhay sa pag tatrabaho. Nakalimutan nya ako, Ewan ko ba kung dapat akung magpasalamat sa Mother Frog na yun kase ng dahil sa kanya ay umuwe na at nanatili minsan ang Ama ko dito sa Mansion, Tulad ngayun.
I don't really know what happened, Basta ang alam ko lang ay Nakatulog si Mama, Yeah, She just sleep but I never thought the she will never wake up again.
Kung Alam ko lang Edi Sana kinulit ko Sya para Hindi muna Sya natulog diba? Pero tapus na eh. Im not going to stop her if she want to sleep, But I wish, I wish she choose to sleep on our comfortable bed and not in Coffin.
My beloved Mother,
I smile sadly again and tears start covering my eyesight.
I just want to sleep too.
Pagtapus mag drama ay naisipan ko nalang pumunta sa Books store para Bumili ng Libro.
"Forbidden Love in Elysium"
That's the title of the book. Nabasa ko na to at natapus na, Maganda Naman at Maiiyak ka talaga, It's a fantasy story kaya binasa ko, Madami silang Naging Adventure Pero Ewan ko ba dahil feeling ko Hindi Angkop yung title sa story, Kasi paano Naging Forbidden love yun eh Pwedi Naman silang mag mahalan nung bida? Yun nga lang ay may mga hadlang.
Pero kung ako ang papipiliin? Kung mag kaka story ang Buhay ko ay ayaw ko ang Story nito, Subrang naiyak ako dito at ayaw kung masakit na story para sa aking Buhay.
I prefer to meet my knight and shining armor who will protect me and love me at all cost then happy ending na, But this story are super Complicated, I can't imagine myself carrying those problems.
"Ano ba tung iniisip ko," I chuckle at my own thoughts, Para namang mag kaka story talaga ko na mala fairytale.
Ibinalik ko na sa lalagyanan yung libro at Hindi na Sana bibilhin ng matigilan. Should I add that to my collections? Sa hinahaba haba ng pag iisip ko ay binili ko rin sa bandang huli, I don't know kung may Book 2 pa ba to o Wala na pero Sana Meron, I hate sad endings, Pero it's been almost a year? Paano pa ito magkaka book 2 eh walang nakakakilala sa Author tapsu ilang taon Ng Wala ding paramdam o announcement manlang, Ito pa Ang nakapagtataka, Forbidden love of Elysium lang Ang nag iisang Story Niya.
I really hate sad endings, Hirap na nga makakuha Ng happy ending sa Reality, patiba naman sa story ipagkakait pa ni Author?
Sa Isang libro na nabasa ko ay Kapag Sad endings ang huli gusto kung mag karoon ng Book 2 pero kung happy ending na at may book 2 pa ay ayuko na Basahin, Baka Kasi happy ending yung mga bida sa book 1 tapus pagdating pala sa book 2 ay may mamamatay! Oh diba?
But speaking of Ending, If I'm just the author of this book I will give him the happy ending he deserves, After the storm he experience, I want to give him a rainbow, I want Akihiro to have his own happily ever after with the girl he deserves Name Aika.
Siguro Yung Manunulat nito ay Malungkot o masakit Ang pinagdaanan, Hindi nya Kasi talaga nabigyan Ng magandang pagtatapus At sumasalamin talaga to sa riyalidad na Hindi lahat Ng wakas ay Masaya.
Si Ariala Dolce Ziendark, Adonizeus Dacien Ziendark at Archius Damien Ziendark na Kapatid ni Akihiro ay gusto ko ring Mabuhay, Sila Lang Ang Pamilya nya sa story tapus mamamatay pa? Laki yata Ng Galit Ng may Akda sa Mga Karakter nya!
Pero Ang malaking katanungan Ng lahat. Sino Ang may Akda?
~•~
Days, week passed Until my 18th birthday come. Nandito ako sa may Swimming pool area dahil naisipan kung mag pahangin.
I'm still wearing my Red Elegant Gown I choose, Naka Messy bond ang buhok ko na Yung make up artist ni Mather frog ang may gawa, Simple lang din ang make up ko na nagpalitaw sa aking mala angel na Mukha, Hindi Naman ako ganun kaganda pero mas maganda nga lang ako kay Aphrodite. Narealize ko yun ng makit ang itsura ko, Akala ko same level lang kami pero nataasan ko na pala Siya, Mag so-sorry nalang ako next time.
"Zarina,"
"Yes?" Tanung ko sa lalaking tumawag sa akin. Pa cute Naman tung ngumiti kaya halus mapairap ako.
Sorry nalang sila but I'm loyal to my husband Akihiro Davien Ziendark!
"Your dad is looking for you," Sagot nito. Tumango nalang ako at naglakad na paalis, Muntikan pa akung madapa kaya narinig ko kaagad ang tawanan.
Edi sila na Ang perfect, Di ko naman kasalanan na Beyond perfect pala ako.
"Hey, You ok?" Nag aalalang tanung muli nung lalaki.
"Yeah, Thanks, I'm fine." Nilampasan ko na ito at dumiritso sa table nila Dad. "Hey Father," Bati ko, Nag angat Sya ng tingin sa akin bago tumayo at ipinaghila ako ng upuan.
Ay Ang sweet ha? Pakitang tao yerns?
"Your daughter grow a Beautiful lady," Kumento nung Isa, I think business Friends niya.
"Yeah just Like his Mom," My dad said and smile genuinely that makes me gasp.
"Halata nga, Tanging mga Araniaz lang na nagtataglay ng kakaibang Ganda," The other guy commented. I just reminde silent on my seat smiling sweetly at them.
"By the way, I want to introduce my Son Gabriel," Sabi naman nung Isa at tumayo bago inilahad ang kanyang Anak. Bahagya akung natigilan ng makitang Siya yung lalaking tumawag sa akin kanina.
"Handsome just like his father," They all laugh because of my dad say.
"What would you expect on my genes Zando," Sagot nito bago nag kwentuhan na sila. Nanatili nalang ako sa upuan at kumain, Tumabi din sa akin yung Gabriel na ipinakilala kanina.
"Hi," Ngiting bati nito.
"Hey," Bored kung sagot na nag patawa sa kan'ya.
"So? Did you already talk to your daughter?" Gabriel's Dad suddenly ask that caught my attention.
"What is that?" I ask Confused, Tumikhim Naman ang Ama ko bago sumimsim sa Wine nya.
"We're planning to arrange you on a marriage with Gabr-"
"WHAT?!" Gulantang kung bulaslas at napatayo.
"Zarina calm and seat down, Your gaining too much attention," Mariin nitong Sita. Natigilan ako at napatingin sa Paligid na nakatingin na nga sa akin kaya naupo nalang muli ako.
"What is that, Dad?" Nalilito ko paring tanung, He can't just arrange me on a marriage just like that!
"As I said we're 'planning' too arrange you on Gabriel," Sagot nito sa akin, Ngumiti Naman yung Ama ni Gabriel habang Sya at nanatiling tahimik.
"Dad, No way! I'm just 18!" Hindi makapaniwalang Giit ko.
"Zarina, It's for the sake of our Company." Paliwanag nito pero sunod sunod akung umiling.
"I'm just 18 Daddy! I still want to do Everything freely! I want to achieve my dreams first! I don't want to be tied on that thing," Umiiling na Sabi ko.
"Mag papakasal lang kayo, Hindi ibig sabihin ay kukunin nun ang kalayaan mo Zarina, Listen to me I'm your Father! This is for the sake of our company and besides Gabriel is a Great man, He's the best for you," Pilit na pag iintindi nito sa akin. Tumango Naman yung Ama ni Gabriel.
"Yeah Ijha, You'll gain and we'll gain too, My Son won't remove your freedom if you're afraid about that, and he will take care of you, If you're problem is about love trust me, You'll learn to love him soon, Just give him a chance," He smiled at me. Nanginginig ang Labi kung bumaling sa katabi.
"I'm sorry about this," He whisper, Nangilid na Ang luha ko dahil Hindi ko matanggap! Ayaw ko! Ayaw kung maikasal.
"C-Can we talk?" Nahihirapan kung bulong. Marahan syang ngumiti sa akin bago ilahad ang kanyang kamay.
"Excuse us, We're just going to talk," Paalam nya dito, Sumang ayon namang tumango sila Dad kaya Tinanggap ko nalang ang kamay nya at muli kaming pumunta sa may Pool area kung saan Wala masyadung tao.
"I'm sorry," Muli nyang Usal ng kami nalang Dalawa.
"I can't," Unang lumabas sa bibig ko. "I don't want to get married, I don't want to marry you Gab, It's not you... It's just I don't want to marry anyone, I don't want get involved on that marriage things," Sunod sunod akung umiling. "Please help me out of this," Pakiusap ko pa pero Hindi Siya sumagot.
"I'm sorry." Muli nyang Usal.
"What? Ok lang Sayo?!" Sigaw ko
"I'm not going to lie so... Yes" Iwas nyang tingin
"Your insane!" Sigaw ko at inis na tumalikod sa kan'ya, Wala rin pala akung mapapala kung pakikiusapan ko Sya.
"Zarina," Habol nito at hinuli ang kamay ko na kaagad kung iniwas.
"Don't touch me! I don't like you Gabriel and I will never agreed of this shit!" Malakas kung Sigaw. "Ikaw?! Bakit gusto mo ha? Para sa kumpanya?! This is Craziness! I know that I'm not already close to my dad and I know that he's always favor on my stepsisters but... But I never thought that he will do something like this!" I bite my lower lip to stop my tears.
"I have my own reason so I'm sorry," Iwas ang tingin muli nitong Sagot.
"Tell me, What is your reason?" Mariin kung tanung pero Hindi Sya sumagot. "Tell me Gabriel! Your too selfish! Kung Ikaw gusto mo ako ayaw ko!" Hinampas ko ang dibdib nya, Nanghihina Naman tung tumingin sa akin bago malungkot na ngumiti.
"Because I like You Ina," He whisper. My eyes widened and immediately push him away.
"W-What?" Gulat kung tanung.
"I like you- No, I think I already love you,"
"But we just meet just now?! Your insane! What a crazy!" Asik ko at tumalikod na pero muli nya akung pinigilan.
"Matagal na kitang gusto but you never noticed me, Sa Dami ng manliligaw mo ay hindi na nakakapag taka, I like you since we are in highschool, I always send you Flowers, chocolates and even a love letters like other guy who's courting you but like them I always end up nothing, lolSo yeah I'm selfish for using our company to get you." I didn't bother answering him. I just smile sadly before give him a single glance.
"I hope you found someone that will love you infinity." Madalian na akung Umalis doon, May mga nakasalubong pa akung bisita pero di ko na pinansin not until I step on my own Gown!
"Shit," I cussed ng mawalan ako ng balanse.
"Omg," Maarting Sabi ni Laria ng makita ako, lumapit to sa akin at nginisian lamang ako sa halip na tumulong. "Not bad, The floor suits you more," Natatawa nitong Kumento Nginisian ko nalang din Sya at itinaas ang gown bago walang pasabing sipain ang Paa niya dahilan kung bakit din to napasalampak sa sahig bago ako tumayo na. Napaiyak to sa pagbagsak na kaagad nilapitan ng kapatid niyang si Amaria.
"What the hell!" Galit nitung bulaslas at masama akung pinukulan ng tingin. "How dare you do this to my sister!" Nanggagalaiti niyang sigaw. Lalampasan ko nalang Sana Siya ng higitin niya ang braso ko kaya inis kung tinabig yun at malakas siyang itinulak.
"That's still not enough! You ruined my life! The three of you and your mother! You frogs! Get out of my sight!" Iritado ko ring sigaw sa kan'ya at ng tangka niya akung sasampalin ay inis ko tung sinalag at mariing kinapitan ang kan'yang kamay pero nagulat Ako Ng bigla nalang may humila sa Isang kamay ko at walang pasabing itulak ako nito ng pwersahan. My eyes widened because of that and tried to step back for my balance but wrong move when I realized that the swimming pool are already just behind me.
Parang tumigil ang Oras ng patalikod akung bumagsak sa tubig at agad ginapang ng Lamig ang Buo kung katawan. Kaagad kung pinigil ang pag hinga at sinubukang lumangoy pataas pero parang may humihila sa akin pailalim. Hindi pa nakatulong ang Mahaba at malaki kung Pulang gown na suot, Unti Unti naring naubos ang hangin ko at kusa ng bumuka ang aking bibig.
Am I going to die?
I smile painfully while waiting for someone that might help me but there's nothing, So For the last time I tried to swim but I end up drowning.
Why I end up always alone?
~•~
Agad akung napaubo ng sunod sunod at marahang napamulat ng Mata ng masinagan ako ng Araw. Nangunot ang Noo kung tumingin sa Paligid at natigilang nanlaki ang mga mata.
As I remember I got drowned on our swimming pool and now I'm here at the...
"What the- Where the hell am I?"
