2683 Words
I keep my eyes on my plate. I didnt bother looking at the man in front of me. I'm still not over with the embarassment I felt a while ago, I think he really did saw me. He was smirking when he entered our dining area so maybe he really did! "By the way, your Brother is getting his things ready. Your flight will be on two weeks, did you pack up already?" Daddy suddenly asked that made made gaps. I cleared my throat and unconciously glance at the man in front of me. We are eating lunch and Grayson joined us. My mother look at me and she smiled. I close my eyes and counted three before speaking. "I want to stay here Dad." I said. Daddy's eyebrows twitched. I even saw Grayson glance at me with forehead crease. " What do you mean by you'll stay sweet heart?" Mommy asked after a long paused. "I want to stay here for good. I can study in some colleges here. Dad, please?" I pleaded. I don't care if this is so embarassing. Why did Grayson have to joined us for lunch? He might be laughing and mocking me right now. I wanted to rolled my eyes but I stop myself from doing it. It would only make things worst! Dad then look at my Mom. "Its on you Orlando." Mommy said. I am nervously waiting for my father's answer that I think I'm sweating bullets. "Give me one good reason why you want to stay here." Okay. This is it. I need to organize the things I'm about to say, this is my only chance. I bit my lip and heavily sighed. "I want to take Agriculture here, I want to help you guys manage the farm and the plantation. I, I'm not saying this thing.. just to be an excused. I really love the place here Dad. And I want to be like you two, I dont think I can made it t-there in New Zeland." I look at Daddy and how he seems not moved by my answers. Oh no! I hope he consider it. Please please please do consider it. Daddy sighed and folded his elbows. "Okay." He said. My eyes widened for excitement that I didnt much think of anyone else in the room and I just shrieked happily. "But in one condition." Daddy cut me off. I stop and nodded immediately at my father. I'll do everything just for this. "You're not allowed to go out of town. You must stay here in the province, if you'll disobey my condition even just for once, I wont hesitate to bring you back at New Zeland. Is that clear?" Daddy said seriously. I wanted to protest but I don't have a choice but to nod. What kind of condition was that? I'll forever be luck up here? In countryside? I know that I love here but I want to stay in the Philippines! Not just here!? Daddy and Grayson both decided to continue what they were doing this morning. Mommy said that she'll have to manage the delivery of the newly harvested mangoes on a small market here. I was left with no choice but to go back upstairs. The enrollment of RMMC will still be on next week. Daddy specifically told me to enroll in that school because they offer good reviews in agriculture. I agreed with him because I dont want to complicate things. I sighed boredly and decided to change something comfortable. It was after a minute when I get out from my dressing room. I look at my reflection on the full body length mirror. I'm wearing another highwaisted denim short and a black sleeveless top. I decided to tie my hair into a high ponytail. I smiled then check my social media sites. I was bombarded with tags on our trip. All of that were pictures from me and my friends.I tap the picture of me and Bexley. We were both wearing two piece and laughing with each other with the clear blue ocean as our background. Her arms snake on my waist. She's morena and tall. Her hair is jet black and her eyes were really expressive. I smirk and try to send it on my brother's IG message just to do something funny. It comes with a text saying 'Beach please' I even added a laughing emoji with it. After scrolling and replying with Bexley, who obviously just woke up from an hour nap, I decided to go downstairs. I took a nap an hour ago and I felt energized now. My brother, Ronald, is not here. He decided to visit our relatives on Manila. I'm starting to get bored every minute that passes. That's why I decided to roam around outside.. "Good afternoon Ms. Sad." A hardinero said. I smiled at him and greeted him good afternoon too. Sometimes my name brings me discomfort. I like being called Ads but Sad? Oh please. I'm almost at the barn when suddenly someone made me stop. I cleared my throat while looking at Mr Grayson who is standing with two hands on his waist and talking animatedly with one of our people. My forehead crease and I started looking for Dad. I look around and then I saw my father, busy with his phone. He's busy that's why he's not with Gray this time. I shrugg my shoulders off. I hesitated to come nearer because of what happened a while ago. But then my feet is not cooperating with my mind, that's why I didnt realize that I was beside him already. He then stop talking with our people and motioned the man something before the man left while nodding. He then glance at me with no expression. I pinch my hands while trying my best to look at him. The kissed that happened a week ago flashes from my mind. Its making me uncomfortable for no reason. "Uhm. I.. I just want to say sorry if I acted...rude an hour ago." I dont know what's gotten into me and I just said it. I must be out of my mind. He should be the one apologizing, Not me? Even if I was at fault too! I'm not really liking myself every minute.  Gray then look away and started getting the two empty buckets on the ground. I look at him and how he sighed then glance at me. My eyes widened while looking at him. His face really shows nothing but perfection. His perfect eyebrows and expressive eyes seems new to me. I'm used to boys in New Zeland. But they're on my age. Looking at him now, feels like he's  so far on my reach, which made me a little bit uncomfortable and concious at the same time. "You must keep in your mind that being pissed or bothered by something don't mean you have to lash out at anyone you wanted and tell them its their fault and not yours. Just because you're suffering something. "He uttered coldy. My mouth opened to say something but then he left. I dont know but I feel so down with what he said. I bit my lip and heavily sighed. Maybe, he's not that rude. I just thought it that way because I'm bitter. Cause I know that I'm totally attracted at him. I sighed with that realization. This will be the first time of me liking someone older. I smiled bitterly and keep it with myself. He obviously doesn't like me. I should stop bothering him. I then decided to go for a ride. I saw my Dad and told him if I could borrow his pick up. "And where might you going?" He asked curiously. "I promise I wont go out of town. Look at my clothes Daddy. Come on,please?" I pleaded. Maybe he's doubtful if I would really go to uptown. My father might think I'll escape? I laughed with such thought. He sighed then eyed me. "Make sure your home before 7. You're not familiar with the roads here. I should ask a driver for you." He said. I hurriedly shake my head to oppose what he will offer. "Dad please, dont. I wont be lost okay? I just want to stroll around. And dont worry, I'm somewhat familiar with the road now. I promise I will be back at seven." I said then clung my arms into his. My dad then shake his head and immediately nodded to dismiss me. I happily kiss his cheeks and get the car. I was smiling while thinking of where to go when I saw Gray walking towards me. His brow shot up and his eyes landed on my hand, where the key is. I bit my lip and slightly bowed down my head then turn my back on him. The words that he said a while ago knock up some senses on me. Maybe I acted really childish. I should try to loosen up. My heart was beating faster as I get in into the driver's seat. I pursed my lips and started the engine. My car then take a turn as I was driving outside the gate. I even saw Gray looking at my car through the side mirror. He was looking intently at it and it looks like he's not listening with my father. I avoided looking at him and focus on the road instead. "Finally. Fresh air." I happily exclaimed while passing by big palm trees. There are fewer concrete houses in this road and somehow that made it relaxing. I played something on my ipad and jammed with the song. The ride took almost a minute when I suddenly notice fruit vendors beside the small road.I stop and decided to park my car on the side of the road. I can see that people started whispering something while looking at my car. Maybe they dont usually see cars parked in here. I thought of it as the reason why. "Good afternoon. Can I ask how much is this?" I said while showing to the fat middle aged woman the fresh yellow rounded fruit I'm holding. The woman then raised her eyebrows at me. It seems like she doesnt like the idea of me buying here. Things where the same as I glance at every vendor on the road.They keep on whispering something while throwing me a disgusted look. I am really confused of what is happening. I snap out from it when the woman in front of me speak. "That only cost fifty pesos. Not that expensive, really. But then its so hard to sell it from someone who doesn't seem to be deserving of such amount." She said it with so much emphasis of anger. I cant help myself but asked her. I'm not sure if she's talking about me. "Wait... what are you trying to say?" I asked with a confuse look. Not knowing what really is happening here. She snorted which makes her double chin visible. "Oh no, don't try denying it. You're pretty and seems educated, too bad you're just as the same scheming bitches who always get associated theirselves with people that are not available anymore!" My eyes widened and my jaw dropped at what she said. Did I hear her right? Me? Associating myself with some in-a relationship guy? Is she serious? I dont even know anyone here so why would she say that. "Excuse me, but I think you're mistaking me for somebody else. I actually dont know what you were talking about." I replied calmer. Even if I'm starting to get annoyed every minute. This situatuon is getting me frustrated every minute. Her voice is so loud that every heads would turn towards my direction.  "You can't deny such thing because someone reported you a week ago on the respected house of the Acharon's. You were seen kissing with the Mayor's son! Dont you dare deny it! You're such a disgusting b***h! Trying to alure the Mayor's son because of Money!" She continue on ranting. I scoffed at her unbelievably. Most of them were visibly whispering while glancing at me. I feel so small and humilated right now. I shake my head and gritted my teeth while looking at her again. "I'm sorry to say this but I dont think what you were saying is true. I dont need the money because I am born rich if that's what you are talking about-". I tried to say just to point out that I'm not that mistress they are talking about but she mockingly laughed and cut me off. "And now you're bragging? I bet that even the richest woman would totally get in with some affair just because they love the thrill of it. Its their l**t that they were listening to. You're no exception, you might be even worst. You dont have such decency and you're a thick faced-b***h!" All I see now is red. How dare her point out that I dont have such decency and I'm a thick faced b***h? Does she know me personally to say such thing?  I want to talk back and defend myself but the another woman butt in and speak. "The mayor's son is drop dead gorgeous. Maybe that is the reason why this young lady here commited such affair." She said it like I'm not in front of them. "What did you just say?" I asked a little bit alarmed. She then look at me and bitchily smirk. I know that they're way older and bigger than me, but because of the anger I'm feeling right now, I can maybe, tear them down into pieces. "You really like Mr Joseph that's why you were boldly doing such an affair because you were lusting over him! The man has a fiancee and they're not even married yet here comes bitches like you trying to destroy them. " My eyes widened and I frustratedly move forward into her, making her gulped and moved backwards. I scoffed. "Do you mean that Joseph Acharon? Oh please! I dont even know he have a fiancee and just to tell you frankly, I'm no ones mistress. I'm the daughter of Orlando Rivera and my Dad will hear about this!" I madly said while staring at all of them. Their eyes widened and fear crept within their body. I'm sure they know my father. He is afterall, one of the most powerful people here in this province. I dont want to brought up royalty but I think its my only card to save from such disgrace and false accusation! "O-Oh! W-we didnt -mean what we said, please do l-listen us-" The first lady said while stuttering. I was mad thats why I rolled my eyes at them and turn my back without hearing them out. "Damn that Acharon! I didn't know he have a fiancee! And please that's was just a stupid kiss! I only did that to annoy him! He even push me back!" I keep on listing such reason why all of their accusations are fault. I shrieked so loud and curse many times while driving my way back home. My anger doubled up when I realize that the rumor was spreading almost a week now and he didn't even tell me about this? Or even help me get out of it because that's the truth! I'm not his other girl! He obviously doesn't like me! And for pete seke! That was just a simple kiss! Could that be enough reason for me to be called as his other girl? Whoever spread that rumor must be one of our workers. I'm pretty sure of that. My grip on the steering wheel tightened. I dont care if I accidentally crashed into something here. All I wanted is to get back home and confront Mr Grayson. He must have a valid reason and help me get out for such issue or else I swear. I'm gonna throw him out of our house even if he's the Mayo'r son.
