How can I escape from this kind of problem? The fact that I was the one who created this problem myself!

Mom and Dad will surely kill me if they find out. Fuck this, how can I tell them I just made a very big mess?

I went out from the room and found him seating on the sofa, watching news in the television.  He's tapping his phone like he was waiting for a message.

Before I went out from his room, I snatched some shirt of him. I saw my pants and wore it again. Maybe I'll just buy in the botique later.

He then finally noticed me. His eyebrows twitch as he saw his white shirt in me.

"Sorry, I snatch your shirt." I say, half polite, half rude.

"Jilliane Celeste Cruz. The famous young millionaire and the daughter of Indira and Julius Cruz, the famous couple both business industry and fashion industry. I never expect that their daughter—" I cut him off before he could say what he wanted to say. Kingina nito, ipapaalala pa ata ang kagaguhan ko kagabi.

"Enough. I know, I'm at fault, okay? But you are too!" Paninisi ko rin sa kanya. Why did he take my drunk crazy shits seriously?

"And how the hell did you know me?"

Instead of answering me, he signaled me to sit to the empty single sofa. I rolled my eyes but still obeyed.

"Tell me. Why?" Without any more words, I waited his answer.

"I will not sugarcoat my words. Let me go direct to the point." He stated as I silently agreed with it. I hate sugarcoating words too.

"We actually can benefit from this." Tumaas muli ang isang kilay ko sa sinabi niya.

"What do you mean?"

"Your parents wants you to settle down already, am I right? But you always refuse them." Who the fuck is this man? How come he knows even that thing? Who is he?

"Don't use that topic to me. Tell me, you didn't take this seriously,  right? Tell me you are all just playing prank on me." The seriously is evident in my voice. I am not in the mood to play with them. I still have a lot of work to do.

"What if it's true?"

Because of what he said,  I tried to calm down myself by breathing consecutively. Teka, ang hirap kumalma.

"Why the heck did you take my drunk craziness yesterday night seriously? You could just play with it, then nothing more! You don't need to make it this far!" I really can't calm down. I know my parents want me to have someone by my side, but not now. I don't want to settle down as I am not in proper mental stability yet. I don't want to hurt other people. Like this, I just shouted at him because I can't calm myself.

"You don't really know me." Doon ako tuluyang napatigil at tumingin sa kanya. What did he mean? I really don't know him.

"The fuck are you saying?" Before he could answer me, the doorbell rang. He stood up and went to the door to open it.

"Anak, why didn't you answer my call yesterday? We have to meet them today. Their young lady is with them." Kingina. I panicked after I heard a female voice, which is his mother.

I was about to go back in his room to conceal myself, but it was too late. His mother saw me; not knowing what to do.

My messy hair plus wearing the shirt of his son while about to run, she saw me.

"Anak..." she can't continue what she is about to say. While her son calmly went back to the sofa and sat.

"Uh...hi?" The most embarrassing I did ever in my life. Nagmumukha akong nagpunta rito para magnakaw. Naka-paa lang din ako kaya nilalamig na rin ang mga paa ko.

I was flabbergasted when his mother squealed. She went to me and checked every inch of me. I looked at the man, and he just raised his eyebrow to me.

"Hija, you're so pretty in personal. Never thought you knew each other already. Oh gosh, you are really pretty," I awkwardly smiled as I looked at him again and signalled to get her mother from hugging me.

"Mom," finally, he called his mother.

"Pierre Theodore Sinclair!" Nagulat ako sa biglaang pagsigaw nito. Buong pangalan pa habang nakapamaywang. So his name is Pierre Theodore, huh?

And wait, what? Did I hear it right? Sinclair? As in Sinclair family?

"Did you kidnap Miss Cruz?" malutong na mura naman ang lumabas sa bibig ng lalaki. Hinampas naman siya ng sarili niyang ina na parang namamalo lang ng isang bata.

"Don't curse in front of Miss Cruz!"

"What?" Pinalo ulit siya ng kanyang ina dahil sa sagot nito. Pero tila naging maamong tupa naman nang nilingon ako ng ina niya.

"Sorry for my son, Miss Cruz. But may I ask why you are here? I thought mamaya ka pa namin makikilala. Thankfully,  Indi showed me some pictures of you, so I immediately know it's you. Ang ganda mo talaga," kanina pa nito ako pinupuri siyang hindi ako komportable. Para kasing willing siyang ibigay sa akin ang anak niya sa uri ng tingin at pananalita niya sa akin. Oh gosh, please.

"It's okay, Mrs. Sinclair. And I am sorry for being here early in the morning. Uh... I think it's better if your son will be the one to explain. If you'll excuse me, I'll go now."

I left them with my utmost polite gesture. Mabilis kong kinuha ang gamit ko sa kwarto niya. Mabuti na lamang at nakaayos.

"Sorry again, madame. I'll go now, Sinclair." Without waiting for their words, I rushed out the room and went inside the elevator.

That was embarrassing, self. And mostly, that was rude. You just ran away like that. What the fuck are you thinking? Oh gosh.

Thankfully that I have my money to buy the cab. Nasaan naman na kaya ang kaibigan ko? Ni isang text o tawag ay wala. Eh? Speaking of.

Agad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko mula sa pouch ko. Deadbat na kaya naman pala kahit isang message ay wala akong natatanggap.

Hanggang sa makarating ako sa bahay. Sobrang tahimik kaya naman napasapo nalang ako sa noo ko. Lagot talaga ako nito.

Pagbukas pa lamang ng pintuan ay buong pangalan ko na ang sumalubong sa akin.

"Jilliane Celeste Cruz!" Here comes my brother, who acts like mom. Daig pa niya si Mommy na pagalitan ako.

"Kuya, come on. Let me sit first," hindi pa rin nito tinatanggal ang pagkakapamaywang niya hanggang sa makaupo ako sa tabi ni mommy.

"Anak, where did you go last night? Nagpunta kami ng kapatid mo sa condo mo kanina pero wala ka. We can't even contact your best friend,"

They can't reach Cahira? That girl can't even ignore my mom's call. Saan naman nagpunta ang babaeng 'yon?

"I heard we're going somewhere?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan pero malakas talaga makaramdam si kuya.

"Huwag mong ibahin ang usapan, Jil," napanguso naman ako. Paano ko sasabihin sa kanila ang ginawa kong kagaguhan kagabi? Tapos ito ngayon, kasal na ako. Anak ng tokneneng talaga.

Asta ko nang sasabihin sa kanina lahat nang nangyari pero biglang may tumawag kay Daddy.

"Oh, pare?"

"Sige, papunta na rin kami. Oh? Really?" Sabay tingin nito sa'kin.  Holly molly of shooky. Alam na niya.

"Oh, sure, sure. We're just waiting for the princess. Yes, pare. Sige. Sorry if we'll make you wait. Yes, bye."

Silence enveloped the four corners of the place after the call. Nakatingin si Dad sa akin habang palipat lipat naman ang tingin nila mom at kuya sa aming dalawa.

"You better explain what really happened, Jilliane Celeste. Now go upstairs and change your clothes. We're going to meet your husband."

You're really doomed, Jilliane.
