CHAPTER 4

Lucresia's Point of View

Kasalukuyan akong nandito sa aking kwarto at naiyak. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa mga nangyari. Hindi ako makapaniwala na pinagpalit ako ni Joe.

After the election day, ilang araw akong walang gana na hanggang ngayon ay dinadamdam ko pa rin. Sino bang hindi masasaktan kung makikita mo ang boyfriend mo na may ginagawang kahayupan kasama ang ibang babae?

Honestly speaking, nasaktan talaga ako ng sobra. Joe is my first love. I gave him everything. Isa siya sa taong nakasama ko through ups and down. We faced a lot of barriers and we accomplished it all.

Hindi ko mapigilan ang pagtulo ng aking luha. May party pa naman kami mamaya tapos ganto pa ang itsura ko.

*ting*

Napatigil ako sa paghikbi nang bigla kong marinig na tumunog ang aking cellphone. Binuksan ko ito at isa itong message mula sa unregistered number.

Message:

Are you hurt? You want to move on from your ex but you don't have any ideas where to start? Type YES and I will send you the first rule.

Napakunot ako sa aking nabasa. Is this scammer? A fraud? A theft? Gosh I'm scared.

Nag-type ako...

Lucresia: Who are you? And how did you get my number???

Mayamaya ay tumunog uli ang aking cellphone at isa na naman itong text number from the same sender.

Sender: I am here to help you. I'm not a scammer don't worry! I have sensible personality!

Napa-isip ako bigla. If he's a scammer, dapat link ang ise-send niya. Or kung fraud naman, dapat sasabihin niyang nanalo ako sa wowowin? Kaya hindi ako naniniwala sa mga 'yon eh since we're rich. I don't need it.

Wala naman sigurong mawawala kung ita-try ko ito diba? Kung alam ko namang scammer, titigilan ko rin agad...

Nag-send ako sa kaniya ng YES na naka-capslock pa para dama. Mayamaya ay tumunog uli ang phone ko.

1st Rule: Cut off communication from his family and companion

This will help you to move on fast. Since we're living in a century where most of the people uses social media, this will help you to neglect them.

Napa-isip na naman ako. So, he wants me to cut off all of my communications to them? That was hard though!

Walang ano-ano ay binuksan ko lahat ng social media accounts ko sa aking laptop at hinanap ang mga friends ni Joe at ang pamilya niya.

"This is hard but it's for my own sake!" I sighed and I started unfriending them one by one. Medyo marami sila since most of them, nag-aaral lang din sa Scout International.

Natapos ko na sila i-unfriend including Joe's family and relatives at nandito na ako sa facebook profile ni Joe. He removed his relationship status. He removed his featured photos.

I already blocked him on messenger the day I found out he's hooking up with another girl.

"It's the perfect time" I said and I clicked the triple dots. The block option pops and I click it.

Feeling ko ay gumaan kahit papaano ang nararamdaman. Feel ko parang may accomplishment akong natapos...

Mayamaya ay tumunog uli ang aking cellphone.

Sender: Are you done? I guess you did. Congrats! It's time for you to prepare and be happy! Slay the night!

Napangiti naman ako sa aking nabasa. This sender is kinda sweet. May concern siya saakin.

Ayyy wait? Tonight is our celebration for our victory!!! I should prepare na because it's 6 in the evening!!!

Nagtungo na ako sa CR ng aking kwarto at nagsimula nang maligo uli. I feel haggard and I need to freshen up! I realized na dapat maging masaya ako. Hindi siya kawalan saakin. Siya ang manghinayang. I am Lucresia the heiress of our businesses!

Naalala ko, may joint business nga palang gagawin ang company namin ay company nila Joe. Maybe I should talk to dad to cancel it before it happens. Again, hindi kawalan si Joe. Ako ang kawalan sa kaniya...

Ilang sandali ay natapos na ako maligo at naglagay na ng skincare sa aking mukha especially sa aking mata. Kailangan magmukha akong maganda mamaya. Always naman akong maganda.

Natapos na ako maglagay ng skincare at nag-umpisa na akong mag-makeup. Daring makeup ang nasa isip ko. Hindi ako nag-heavy eyeshadow. I just used brown shadow at nag-wing liner ako. 'Yung pangmakalakasan na eyeliner.

I put heavy highlighter para kapag nasa malayo palang ako, mabubulag na sila. Lastly, I put lipstick. A godamn red lipstick from Mac.

I blow dry my hair and I curled it. Gusto ko 'yung wavy style kaya hindi ko ito kinulot ng bongga. I put hairspray to make it still as is.

It's time for my oufit! I remember last time we go in France and I had a chance to make shopping in Saint Laurent and luckily, I bought a dress from there!

It's Plunging V-Neck Mini Dress inPleated Lamé Velvet. Color Raspberry siya. V-Neck siya na hanggang tummy 'yung pagkaka-slit. It comes with a belt for you to shape your body as well.Tinanggal ko ito sa pagkaka-hanger at sinuot ito. Voila, it fits me well!!! I look chick here!

After wearing my dress, nilabas ko naman ang isang box for my heels. It's Celine Sharp Sandal in Patent Calfskin & Reps. Colorblack ang heels na ito and bagay ito sa aking dress. 4.3 inches ang heels niyakaya hindi ito kataasan. It has minimalist andelegant upper razor-sharp edge thin heel, celine sharp line signature. Adjustable 'yung buckle strap niya and it has thin and leatherconsole.

Pumunta ako sa aking bag section at kinuha ko ang Blue Dior Oblique Embroidery from Christian Dior. It is saddle bag kaya konti lang ang malalagay mo sa loob.

After finalizing my look, tumingin ako sa mirror at natuwa ako sa kinalabasan ngaking outfit of the night.

"Youlook marvelous Lucresia! Ngayon, sino ang sinayang?" Sabi ko habang naka-ngitisa salamin.Lumabas na ako sa aking kwarto at nagtungo sa baba upang makaalis na.

"YAYA PAKI HANDA ANG MERCEDES BENZ!!!" Sigaw ko sa aming maid na dali-dali namang nagpunta sa aming garage upang hanapin ang aming driver. Habang nag-aantay, nagsa-swipe ako ng mga IG Stories ng aking friends. Nakitakong malapit na magstart ang party at maraming tao sa loob. Sa Bar kami nila Israel since sila lang ang malapit na bar dito saamin. Then, they can accept minors like us.

Mayamaya ay pumasok na ang aming driver sa loob ng bahay.

"Ma'am nakahanda na poang kotse" Sabi nito kaya tumayo na ako at lumabas. Rarely ko lang gamiting angMercedes Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV dahil mahal ang bili namin dito. This is my dad's favorite car.SUV type ang car nito because the purpose of this is for family only. We usedthis often kapag nandito si Mom at si Ross who's currently in New York.

Sumakay na ako sa loob ng kotse at nagsimula nang magmaneho ang driver namin.

Party

Nakarating na ako sa Party at pumasok na sa loob ng bar. Buti nalang wala sa main entrance ang bouncer dahil last time na pagpunta namin nina Arsin ay muntik na kaming hindi papasukin.

Sumalubong saakin ang malakas na dance music at ang crowd. Wait mga taga-Scout ba ang mga ito? Or regular customers lang din sila?

"Lucresiaaaa!!! Thankfully naka-attend ka!!!" Sinalubong ako nina Anicia na may halong pag-aalala sa kanilang mukha.

"Ofcourse! Hindi ko papalagpasin ang celebration natin no!" I said.

"But are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Isabella.

"I will be okay don't worry" At nagulat ako ng bigla akong yakapin nito.

"I'm worried because of you. I'm glad you seemed fine" napangiti naman ako sa sinabi niya. My childhood friends are genuine than to the promises he left to me.

Naputol ang aming pagda-drama nang may biglang dumating.

"Hey Lucresia are you okay???" Tanong ni Isaiah. He's with his squad.

"Of course! I don't have reason to be sad!!!" I shouted.

"Yes! That's my bitch You look fab today!!!" Naka-ngiting sabi ni Israel.

"Well thanks!"

"Wait, what the---" napatingin kami kay Kervin. May tinitignan siya from the entrance. Tinignan ko ang direksyon na kaniyang tinitignan at biglang nag-init ang aking dahil sa nakita.

"What is he doing here?" Arsin said.

"What's that girl doing here with him?" Isabelle asked.

"Wait, is he even invited???" Naiinis na tanong ni Jhay.

"No bro. Me and Israel limit the invitations" Anthony answered.

Guess who's here? Well, the bastard came.

"Hey dude what are you doing here???" Sigaw ni Israel.

"Well I think this is a bar, right? All customers have rights to come here as long as they pay the entrance fee?" Joe answered bravely. Wait saan niya hinuhugot ang katapangan niya???

"You know what dude, you should go. We will give you a refund!" Isaiah said.

"I'm not here for you guys so don't assume that you are the reason why I am here. I came here because of Lucresia" and I think he's already drunk.

"What are you doing here you asshole? Alam mo sobrang kapal din naman ng mukha mo magpakita eh" I said.

"You know what, how dare you to cancel the joint business project of our family? You don't have any considerations. This is just an issue about us at labas na ang family natin" He said. Napatawa naman ako ng malakas sa kaniya.

"Israel turn off the music please!" I command Israel and he gave a sign to the DJ to turn off the music kaya napatingin saamin ang mga tao at nahinto ang kanilang pagsasayaw.

"You know what, I don't want to share our family money to untrustworthy person like you. And don't be desperate. Mukhang malabo na ang telecommunication niyo in different counties. This is just a beginning, Joe. Ipapamukha ko sa iyo na hindi ka kawalan saakin at kawalan ako sa iyo. You will regret it for the rest of your life you bastard!" Sabi ko. Naghiyawan naman ang mga tao sa loob kasama na ang mga kaibigan ko.

"Nasa kama ka na nga, lumipat ka pa sa banig. Magtiis ka sa babaeng gold digger na 'yan. Cheater at makati in one? Great combination" at tinalikuran ko na sila upang magpunta sa VIP floor.

Hindi ako natuloy sa aking pag-akyat nang biglang sumigaw si Maja the Blanca.

"You know what Lucresia, hindi ka siguro love ng parents mo kaya ganiyan ka"

Nainis ako sa aking narinig kaya hinarap ko siya.

"Hindi ako lalaking mayaman kung hindi ako mahal ng parents ko. I am the heiress of our companies. Baka ibalik ko sa iyo sinabi mo? Hindi ka love ng parents mo kaya lumaki ang gold digger at mang-aagaw" At mas naghiyawan pa ang mga tao sa loob na para bang may nangyayaring fliptop battle. Actually, barado na agad si Maja eh hindi pa nga ako nagsisimula.

"You deserved it girl! Ang iwan ni Joe HAHAHA!" napabaling ang atensiyon namin sa isang nagsalita. It's Margarette.

"Oh look who's bitch is here. Atleast ako pinili, ikaw hindi. What a shame!" at muli na namang nagsigawan ang mga tao sa loob ng bar. Kita sa mukha ni Margarette na nainis siya sa aking sinabi.

"He loves me more than you!" Nagsalita na naman si Maja Blaca kaya this time ay tatapusin ko na ito. Ayoko na ng maraming chitchats! Gusto ko na maglaklak. Dahil sa inis, bigla kong hinalikan si Israel sa lips torridly kaya nanlaki ang mga mata ng bawat isa. naramdaman ko namang lumalaban ito sa aking mga halik kaya mas tinodo ko pa ang pressure.

"Akala mo lang ikaw may karapatang masaya? Pwes, nagkakamali ka. Ikaw ang walang karapatang sumaya! Pakasaya ka dahil ngayon f*ck buddy ka lang niyan" I said fiercely at hinigit ko na si Israel pa-akyat sa VIP floor. Naguguluhan itong sumunod saakin.

Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng stairs ni Israel. Bigla akong tumigil at nagsalita.

"To everyone who's here. This is Israel, my new man" then I kissed Israel torridly again. Kita ko sa aking peripheral vision na nakatingin sila saaming dalawa at buti nalang nanlalaban talaga 'tong si Israel. While kissing, I raised my middle finger to Maja and Joe and the music continues to play...
