Chapter 1
"WOY! Sistah! Halika dito dali tingnan mo ito o ang hinayupak mong besty naghahasik na naman ng lagim!" Turan ni Cy ang boardmate at matalik na kaibigan ko dito sa apartment. Hawak hawak nito ang tablet at nilahad sa akin.
"correction sistah ex-besty po" ismid ko. habang inaayos ang sapatos na suot ngayon kasi ang final interview ko sa UH Company one of the leading company dito sa bansa magandang magtrabaho doon dahil maraming benefits plus malaki ang sweldo yun nga lang mahirap makapasok dahil talaga naman maraming screening ang kailangan mong pagdaan bago ka makapasok I was applying for residential doctor nila.
"ay oo nga ex-besty pala hahaha sorry nakalimutan ko" aniya at pabirong tumawa sa akin
"okay lang mauna na ako walang akong oras para sa kaniya" walang ganang sabi ko
"alam mo Brillianna ewan ko ba sayo bat nagtitiyaga ka sa ganitong pamumuhay eh ang yaman yaman niyo naman pinapabayaan mo yung maldita mong kakambal na magapakasasa sa yaman niyo!" sabi nito sa akin.
"magulang ko ang mayaman hindi ako sistah at tska hayaan mo siya masaya siya dun eh!"
"bat kas hindi mo na lang sinunod ang gusto nila?"
"tss! over my dead body Cy,hindi ko ipagpipilitan ang sarili ko sa taong ayaw ako no hindi naman ako sardinas para isiksik sa kanya ang sarili ko nagawa ko na dati at hindi ko na gagawin pa ulit! Kapag babaero babaero talaga!"
"sabagay sistah mahirap nga naman ang gano'n eh anong plano mo? Hanggang kailan mo siya pagtataguan?"
"hangga't kaya ko mag iipon ako pagnaka ipon na ako ipapa-annul ko na ang kasal naming ng hudyong yun nang maging masaya na sila ni Ate Gold!" kaya kailangan mong makuha ang trabahong iyon Brillianna at makapag-ipon.
Yes I am married to that sick and jerk bastard buong akala ko kasi mapapatino ko siya yun pala lumala lang ng sapilitang ipakasal kami n gaming mga magulang at hinidi ko nakayang masaksihan ang araw araw niyang pambababae okay lang sa akin dati kasi bestfriend kami pero hindi na ngayon asawa niya na ako kaya naman may karapatan naman akong magalit, oo aaminin ko I love him secretly dati! Dati yun nung martyr pa ako at in love na in love sa kaniya akala ko kasi meron kami akala ko magbabago siya but he changed he change into much worst! I even hear him say this at masyadong malinaw na malinaw iyon sa isip na kahit ngayon I can memorize all his lines..
"f**k! I don't care kung umiyak man siya, I don't love her mahirap bang intindihin yun! I love someone else she betray me Dad! Ang sabi niya pipigilin niya ang desisiyon niyo but here I am miserable! This useless Marriage!" I want out Dad. I can't love her and I will never will.. just please dad release me to this hindi siya si Gold hindi siya ang babaeng mahal ko pero kung hindi niyo ako matutulungan I myself find way to divorce her."
Masakit pa rin narito pa rin ang sakit lalo na kung maririnig mo iyon sa taong buong buhay mong inaasam na maging sayo.
Hays.... Tama na nga ang drama Bree okay ka lang diba kaya mo to kaya mo hindi mo kailangan ang isang tulad niyang walang kwenta at puro sarili ang iniisip.
"siguro kaya tayo naging magkaibigan kasi iisa lang ang guhit ng palad natin Bree, guhit ng palad na may pinagtataguan" ani ni Catherice Ysabelle o mas kilalang tawag ko na Cy sa kaniya,
"ganun talaga eh,ewan ko nga kung bakit hinahabol niya pa rin ako kasi sa ala-ala ko iniwan ko na yung divorce paper namin na may pirma ko na" sabi ko palagi kong iniisip bakit hindi niya pa rin ba iyon finafile o baka ako talaga ang iniintay niyang mag file noon kaya naman I was really want to have permanent job ng sa ganoon makapag ipon ako at ma annul na iyon.
"basta sistah I will always be right here okay fighting kaya natin to" ani ni Cy sa akin.
Ngumiti naman ako sa psotive vibes na binibigay niya sa akin.
"thank you.. aalis na ako". paalam ko dito. Pamait akong napangiti ng maalala na naman ang mga pangyayaring iyon.
7 years ago....
Gold ans silver was our theme everything have touches of gold and silver. Today we celebrated pur 18th birthday with my Ate Gold she was my twin sister born 30 minutes ahead to me.
"my beautiful princesses" mommy said at niyakapa kaming pareho ni ate Gold.
"mom, ang pangit ng dress ko" relamo ni ate Gold kay mommy.
"anak diba ikaw naman ang pumili ng designs" si mommy.
Kumunot ng noo nito at tila iritado the dress was nice and cute maganda yun kay ate I look at hera and she was looking at me.
"my palita nalang kami ni Silver mas bagay tu sa kaniya"susog niya sa akin.
"s-sige ate kung yan ang sinasabi mo" I said I just want her to be happy on oour birthday alam ko namang maarte at highmaintenance si ate gold habulin din siya ng boys kahit pa nga yung bestfriend ko I sigh reminding how that guy befriend me because of ate gold.
The party started with me wearing ate Gold gowns we switch the dresses. And the party begin, salahat ng nakasayaw naming sa 18th rose only my brother Bronze who is 16 years old can distinguish whose and who.
"happy happy birthday ate Silver ang ganda ganda niyo ni ate Gold"
"thanks baby bro, alam mo talaga na ako ito no"
"hehehe oo naman ate kahit magkaparehas kayo ni ate gold ng mukha at taas I know its you mahinhin at hindi ka maarte gumalaw katulad niya." he said.
Hindi ko alam kung sino ang inask or ininvite ni mommy na maging escort namin ni ate basta when the escorts turn to dance the lights went off. Pumainlang sa paligid ang boses at kanta na beatiful girl ni Jose Marie Chan. I was so happy knowing Evan Clark Paltrow my bestfriend and the man I secretly in love with he went to me and ask for the dance with me.hawak niti ang kamay ko. as we danced his eyes remain on me he smiling so widely.
"ang ganda ganda mo mas gumanda ka pa sa paningin ko, I know it will be so sudden but please hear me out" he said pleadingly I was hyperventilating and my heart beat iratically na tila kahit kabayo yata hindi makakasabay sa mabilis napagtibok nito.
"I can't hide this emotions anymore I was hiding and hiding this but hindi ko na kaya sinisigaw talaga ng puso ko na mahal kita, I love you please let me court you----" he said I was jumping on happiness it is real he loves me too my bestfriend loves me too...
"please Gold let me" aniya.
I felt everything wne torn he said Gold si Gold si ate ang tinutukoy niya nahina ako sa sinabi niya he was in love with my tiwn sister.
"f**k!" I heard him cursed "please talk Gold" aniya
"dapat talaga humingi na ako ng tulong kay Silver eh" aniya at tila nahihiyang nagkamot pa ng ulo.
I laughed like what painfully but I smiled at him at pinitik siya sa noo "chillax ka lang best ako to si Silver" I said like it was normal kahit sa loob ko untin-unti ng tumatarak yung matalim na punyal sa puso ko.
Nakita ko ang panlaki ng mata nito dahil sa gulat "oh thank God binakaba mo ako best akala ko si Gold" kumunot ang noo niya at tiningnan ang damit ko "nagpalit kami ayaw niya dawn g design eh" sagot ko.
And our debut ended like that, it eneded that I saw ate Godla dn Evan Clark talking I went upstairs I lock my room and I cry...
"miss nandito na po tayo"dagling napalingon ako sa driver noon. "pasensya nap o manong eto po bayad" sabay bigay ko dito ng pera ngumiti naman ang jeepney driver na nasakyan ko "sige na po manong keep the change na lang po" tukoy ko sa binayad na 100 pesos na buo, "salamat miss ah malaking tulong na to sa akin" aniya bumaba ako at mapait na napangiti.
I remember Daddy and mommy at kung bakit nandito ako ngayon sa kalagayan kong ito. dad had a stroke kaya nalugi ang kumpanya naming, ate Gold was no where to find kaya ako ang inarrange married kay Evan. He thought it was Gold he later found out nagalit siya at kinamuhian niya ako when he found out my sister married in USA with a well known business tycoon. He throw words like liars, b***h, at iba pang masasakit na salita ukol sa akin, gabi gabi rin ang gimik niya, and I am so look like damsel in distress wife. Mabuti na lang talaga nakagraduate na ako sa pagaaral ng medisina before I break the rules of my parents I went away on my on living him alone because I know it's for the best.
Pumasok ako sa UH company I was greeted by the Human resource secretary.
"ma'am just wait a little lang po ha, my akuspa pa kasi si ma'am"
"okay sige salamat"
I was prayingso hard to be accepted it ng bigkang umingay yung cellphone ko. it was Cy calling...
Ako: hello cy bakit?
Cy: Nasaan ka sistah?
Ako: nandito sa UH
Cy: oh my gashhh Bree umalis ka na dyan wag ka dyan mag apply!
Ako:huh bakit?"
Cy: your freaking ex was one of the owner of UH
Ako: huh?"
Cy: you heard it rught sistah alis na dyan
Ako:oookay ookay sige..
Tarantang binaba ko ang cellphone.
"ma'am pwede na po kayo pumasok"
"ahm hindi na lang ma'am sorry" ani ko at mabilis pa sa alas-kwatrong sumakay palao sa building na iyon.
Hapo-hapo akong napahawak sa dibdib ko thinking na muntik muntikan na akong mtrace ni evan kung sakali man damn how can I be so reckless and clumsy. I call Cy again she ask to meet me on a coffee shop. Ka papasok ko pa lang ng tawagin ako nito.
"Sistah here" aniya umapit ako I thought it was only us but I see this familiar face.
"ow Bree this is Philip my boss" aniya. Tukoy niya sa lalaking nakasumbrero at nakashades.
"Philip" ani ko I was scared again.
"don't worry Bree mapagkakatiwalaan siya" aniya.
He was Evan freaking Evan one of his friends.
"he was the one I am telling you about he is my eyes and ears kaya safe tayo okay " Cy said.
Umpo naman ako na hindi pa rin kakakaimik dahil sa lalaking kasama namin,
"I have a proposal to you" aniya sa akin.
"I have this island which I was pre developed my mga tauhan ako doon mga construction worker and from time to time I let their family live their for a while, I am willing to hire you as my residential doctor their belive I won't tell or say about you to Evan it will be confidential to us kaibigan ko man siya pero labas ako sa problema niyo I am here for purely business." Aniya.
Tumango naman ako. I immediately get the oen and sign in.
"I hope you will be true to your words" sabi ko
"I am and I will Bree," aniya he said goodbyes to us. ng maiwan kami ni cy we continue to talk.
"nga pala Bree my isang badnews ulit akong sasabihin sayo" aniya.
"balita sa socialite world ngayon ang balak na pagsampa ng Ellz and other talents agency sa ate mo for breaching the contract prior to the commitment" malungkot na sabi niya sa akin.
"and If she can't show up mukhang sasampahan din ang mommy mo ng kaso" sabi niya.
Napahilamos naman ako sa mukha dahil sa problemang dinadala. I was quite and thinking when I receieved a text message
Bronze:

Kumuhaw ang mata ko dahil sa nabasa.
Ako:

Bronze:

Bronze:

I look to Cy ginagap nito ang kamay ko,
"malalapasan mo rin to sistah okay mamaya uutusan ko na lang si Ate Rys na padalhan si Bronze" tukoy ni Cy sa landlady namin na tinuturing ko na rin na kaibigan.
"salamat talaga Cy, mauna na ako I need to secretly talk to the investors,
I waved goodbye to her hminga muna ako ng malalim bago harapin na namana ng oanibagng problema sa kumpanya I have no choice but to secretly putting my trustfunds money to the company to make it better again.i secretly check my families property unti-unti na ni mommy na naibebenta ang lupa residential house, farm land naming dahil siguro sa gamutan ni daddy expenses sa bahay sa kumpanya. And I know she was paying other talent agency mula sa international country na birneach ni ate ang contract.
