Novel & Cerita Stepmother Friend

“You know I can’t do that. Tita loves Joey so much.” “Pero hindi mo deserve ang ginawa nila! Isa pa ‘yang stepmother mo! Kunsintidor. Hindi na sila nahiya sa ‘yo? Ikaw na nga ‘tong nagpapakain sa kanila tapos may gana pa silang maging ganon sa ‘yo. Aly, you’re too kind!”

"So, how's life here?" "You still don't have manners, do you?" mataray na sabat ni Barbara, my stepmother, feeling queen of this mansion. She's the living proof of a successful mistress. "Atleast greet your father." "What else can we expect from her?" nang-iinsultong wika naman ni Vivian. My auntie who always lowered down her panty. Of course, for men. "She's a rebel." "My greetings a while ago is for all of you," I said and raised my eyebrow. "So, if you don't get it then your stupid brain got some problems."

My mom laughed. “Come here, anak.” Lumapit ako sa kanila at umupo sa tabi ng Mommy ko. Napansin kong nakangiti rin ang Mommy ni Rafael. And for some reason, seeing them together still felt strange. Not in a bad way. Just strange. Because if someone had told me months ago that my mother's closest new friend would be Rafael's mother the woman who had once been married to my stepfather, I probably would have laughed.

“What do you mean?” Mads gave me a weird look. “Tanan! Sumama ka kay Stephen para magsama na kayong dalawa. Hello? Kailan lang din sinabi sa ‘min ni Stephen na matagal na raw kayong may lihim na relasyon. Noong araw nga mismo ng birthday mo ay sumama ka na sa kanya.” She shook her head. “We’re your friends and Stephen is like our brother already. How come that we weren’t able to notice it?” she asked, more on to herself.

one of them asked, the insult sharp in her voice. "How did she even get in?" I heard one of mom's friends whisper. I didn't know what they were doing here. This wasn’t their turf. “I came through the door. Are you blind?” I shot back at the lady who looked at me with disgust, as if her own daughter wasn't an addict. My eyes landed on my mom's best friend. I remembered how she used to push me down the stairs because I always outshone her daughter in school. Looking at this old woman, you wouldn't find a single thing to criticize. Besides her respectable clothes, Satan's horns were perfectly hidden.

Agad ko itong hinarap at nakita si Dashiel. "Dashiel. Oopss, ano bang dapat kong itawag sa'yo? Daddy na ba?" Natatawa ako pero nagsisinok pa rin ako. "Sino ba siya, Kisses?" nagtatakang tanong ni Blue. "Blue, meet the new husband of my beloved mother... My stepfather, Dashiel." "Uh, okay-okay. Mukha naman siyang harmless. Safe ka naman siguro sa kanya?" "Pero, Blue. Ikaw ang gusto kong maghatid sa akin," paglalambing ko kay Blue.

And the moment he saw me, he immediately greeted me with a hug that felt both comforting and bittersweet. Si Tita Heaven naman, sinalubong din ako ng mahigpit na yakap. She was so sweet and gentle. Para bang hindi ko s'ya inaway-away noon at pinagsalitaan ng hindi maganda. She stilk treat me as if I am her real child. And since then, she had always been kind to me, a source of support and understanding, a woman who had loved me unconditionally. And Adrianne, my best friend and the wife of my stepbrother, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of concern and excitement, greeted me with a warm smile and a quick hug. Halatang miss na rin n'ya ang bonding namin no'n bilang mag-best friend. Nagkalinaw

Nakikita ko sa mga mata niya na may halong appreciation at kaunting kaba, pero ramdam ko rin na naiintindihan niya ang gravity ng sinabi ko. I mean, siya rin ay gusto akong ipakilala sa importanteng tao sa buhay niya—sa Mommy niya at kahit sa ex niyang ngayon ay stepfather na niya.

Hindi man ngayon, pero sa mga darating na panahon, gusto kong buo na siya sa buhay ko.

One question, one answer—that’s what she gave to the guest. "Can I go now, Ronan? You got what you wanted." Anger lingered on her face. If he weren’t her friend, she’d really let him face the shame. But she couldn’t bear it. Ronan has been a great help to her, even at the university where she teaches. "My daughter is on her way. Let me introduce you first, please." All she could do now was wait for her soon-to-be stepdaughter. She feels like she's aging quickly because of the sudden changes in her life and what lies ahead.
