2 Taken for granted
"Hello babe, we both know that last year was my debut and now it's your turn to welcome 18th year of existence! Welcome to the club babe, welcome into the stage of legality. Now that you only have 1 year to go before welcoming being an adult i hope you'll enjoy this stage of life first, being a teenager tho you've been through a lot of bad deeds but i believe that it's only part of the challenges that God want you to surpass, to overcome or go through, one of those tasks that you needed to accomplish. Those are tests for you to guide yourself in a way you wanted to walk thru. You're already living in this world for exactly 18 years and yet you're still sort of confused of your purpose. You still need to grew more, be mature more especially in handling things.
Moreover, thank you, thank you for letting me in into your life, for welcoming me before this day comes. I'm glad to be part of this special day of yours, i'm happy to be with you while welcoming reality. Being 18 is also accepting all the opportunities, terms, conditions, rules and regulations, and reality. It's when you'll started to be more careful of your deeds, be more aware and alert because being in this stage of life there are lots of places and stuffs that will already warmly welcome you and JAIL isn't an excuse. So i hope you'll be more careful okay?
I love you babe and happy birthday❤ i wish for you to atleast have a healthy body, mind, soul and life. Also, continue your journey by taking the right path and ofcourse bring happiness, love and protection with you. Always remember of us, of those people who wouldn't leave you no matter what. I hope you'll gonna enjoy this day and be happy hehe i'll try my best not to fight with you. Okay?
One more thing, i badly want to be with you today but i can't and thank you for being so much understandable i really appreciate it❤ Furthermore, i want to apologize because i didn't be able to buy you a present, a gift but don't worry i'll buy something for sure, ofcourse hahaha. You really meant so much to me babe. Once again, Happy 18th birthday! and ILOVEYOU!"
After reading the letter. Lhester grab it from Sofia's hand and crumpled it and throw straight to the trashbin.
"She thinks you really love her that much huh" Sofia said while cuddling into Lhester.
Lhester Perfuma is Saj's boyfriend, they are together for 2 years. She's aware of what kind of guy Lhester is but she chose to believe that he really changed for her.
"It's been 2 years babe, how long does it still take before you'll completely dump her? I'm being impatient babe. 2 years is already a long period of time" Sofia complaint.
"I thought we've already talked about it? even though Saj is easy to tame but letting her guards down especially on the things that she independently achieved isn't easy. I maybe grip her heart and neck tightly but not her mind completely. She's still in hesitant to let me hold atleast half of her belongings. However, we were still young babe, sacrificing another year won't kill us instead it will be more beneficial because Saj's shares are growing rapidly. Just a little more time okay?" Lhester grabs her closely before kissing her aggressively that turns into an intimate one.
while on the other side
"Girl you're being stupid again" Astraea straightforwardly said to Saj, face to face.
"I'm not! you knew how much i love him. He's always with me for 2 years, he never leave me behind. So please stop ruining everything, i know he can't do that to me" Astraea wants to slap her bestfriend for being so stupid into a guy who never even loved her for real.
A year ago Astraea and her friends caught Lhester and Sofia. on guard but until now Saj refused to believe it. Though Astraea don't have enough evidences but how could she lie into a girl who never abandoned her despite of everything, the girl who's always willing to sacrifice a time for her even in a nonsense things.
Astraea is now determined to be more diligently attentive in observing Lhester's every move for the sake of her bestfriend. It's breaking her heart into pieces seeing Saj in a situation like this, being taken for granted. Tho she can't point out why exactly 'Lhester-the-jerk' still continues to be with Saj until now and Sofia is in favor with it? what do they want?
"Hello babe where are you?" Astraea snapped back into reality when she heard Saj's voice
[I'm at mom's house babe, i'm not feeling well. Why? you need somethin' or anythin'?] Lhester on the other line said.
"Oh! no, it's nothing babe just want to check you out and you know i can't come over" seeing Saj like this unconsciously made Raea to hug her tightly, it's not that Saj can't come over but she knows deep inside that she's starting to doubt Lhester because even though how busy she is, she will always make time for him.
[It's unusual for you to be absent especially in my special day babe, are you okay?] Raea hissed and roll her eyes on the phone. How pretentious!
"Yes babe, i'll make it up next time, don't worry" Saj said before hanging up the call.
*You have a call, you have a call*
The moment Saj ended the call she suddenly receive a call from her manager.
"Hello aunt lisa?" she calls her manager aunt because that's what Lisa Sy wants.
"Prepare for the Viseño's Grand Ball later, i will pick you up later at exactly 7 o'clock sharp!" she almost scream while patting her forehead, how can she forget about the Grand Ball of the agency she's been in contract with for 4 years.
"Noted, thank you auntie!"
"Aunt Lisa will be very mad when she finds out you forget about the ball" Raea teased.
"Why don't you stand there and accompany me to the botique instead of teasing me?" Saj sarcastically said to her bestfriend before they both laugh their ass out loud.
Just because of a guy she almost missed one of the biggest deal she could have.
"I'll ask aunt Lisa if I could go with you tonight" Raea said put of the blue. She feels something unpleasant will gonna happen tonight, she wants to make sure of that feeling.
"No need to ask her, it's your first time to come with me in a big event that i'm attending. So, it's my pleasure to have my bestfriend as my date" Saj warmly said with a smile to her bestfriend.
Who would know what will happen tonight? Saj is happy to be with her bestfriend in this kind of event though usually she's with Lhester as her date. Even though they can't still reveal their relationship because of minority and this is supposedly the chance for them to finally voice it out in public. On the other hand, Raea is nervous with no reason but feels weirdly satisfied at the same time.
