So it's gonna be forever? Or I am gonna out of this? can you tell me when it's over mmm I'm so tired of these!
#20: I Need Crisostomo
I am walking while my shoulder is down because of what happened. Doña Consolacion is no joke. She is not easy to oppose. Although I already oppose her, she's still powerful!
"UGH! I HATE MY LIFE!" I shouted out of nowhere while we are walking on the way home. The four of them are just quiet behind me. They are scared to talk to me.
Why is my life becomes hard like this? I mean my bashers, hate comments and issues are nothing compared to what I am experiencing right now.
"S-sissy Emcee, I think w-we can do something. Especially you are the girlfriend of Don Crisostomo," Crispin said stuttering while we are walking.
I glared at him making his mouth shut. I saw Basilio simply hit the back of his head.
Oh that Crisostomo! I almost forget about him! We already broke up so I must really forget about him. Even though we are not really on a relationship.
"Oh well! I can't!" I said helplessly.
The four of them look at each other because I shouted again for no reason. I can't forget about him!
I look at the sky. I don't know where is Simoun, but I know that he is watching me.
"You fool! This is all your fault," Simoun! I didn't say his name because I know my colleague here will ask me who the heck is Simoun.
"Hey! Don't you think Sissy Emcee is an atheist?" I heard Crispin's whisper but I still heard it. What a punk.
"Don't you say it! She's not! She is a holy young lady Maybe it's you! Be careful of what you said to our young lady!" I heard Marites defended me.
"Oh come on, Missis Marites. I know that you hate me but don't you dare talk to my grandchildren like that! Are you in the same age as them?" Mateo defended Crispin.
The reason why we stopped from walking. It looks like they are fighting.
"Ha! It doesn't concern you. Are they your real grandchildren? Basilio, is he your grandfather?" Marites asked.
"No, but he is better than my real father. He is a father in our hearts. So don't treat him like that," Basilio said.
"Hey!" I shouted. "Stop arguing! I am the one who should be furious here because I am so problematic and I have no solution in my mind. Me and Crisostomo, we already broke up! That's why he can't help me anymore!"
I walked out after I said it. I don't care if I left them, as long as I said what I wanted to say.
-
I am currently at the garden, watering the plants since I have nothing to do here. This era is really boring!
"Maria," a calm lady said.
"Oh shit!" I said because I'm surprised. The water spilled and that's made me wet. Yes, I'm so stupid.
"Your mouth, Emcee," Oh! So it's Aunt Isabel. She really noticed my curse, not my situation.
"Auntie!" I shouted, annoyed a bit.
"Oh, why? Ha! You shouldn't say--- oh my dear! Why are you wet?" She finally noticed that I am freaking wet!
"What do you need, Aunt?" I asked her frankly. She raised my brow at me.
"Oh look at this brat. Are you richer than I am now?" She teased me.
Hah! If she only knew my net worth? She wouldn't say it. I am a multi-millionaire!
"I am just here to remind you that your wedding with Crisostomo is in the next two weeks! Are you ready to be Mrs. Ibarra?"
I almost jump because of what she said. Oh no! I haven't told them that we already broke up. But I think, it's way better for us.
As far as I remember, soon Maria Clara and Crisostomo will part ways and break because Crisostomo will be considered as a filibuster? The one who is against the government.
Maria Clara will be the fiance of Linardo? Linares? I am not sure I forgot about that boy. He's not an important person because he and Maria Clara will not also end up together
Because the only one who Maria Clara truly loves is Crisostomo Ibarra.
"Don't mention it anymore, Aunt. We already broke up," I said calmly as I start walking back inside our mansion.
"What? Why did you break? You and Crisostomo are lovers since then. Your relationship will be wasted. You two can live happily ever after," Aunt Isabel said as if she's a fan of a happy ending story.
"It happens. Also, not all of us are lucky and will soon marry. I think I am one of those girls who will grow old alone--"
"What are you saying, Maria? Do you want to end up like me? No family? It's hard, Maria. Go to Crisostomo and fix your relationship together before it's too late."
"Aunt Isabel," I faced her and I force a smile even if it's hard to. "We already ended it. I know it's sad because we're almost in forever, but not quite. Believe me, I'll find a man who will truly love me and care for me."
I'll find a man who is not a fictional character. I'll find a man who will grow old with me and who lives in the real world and it's not Crisostomo so there's really no way I'll fall for him.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Crisostomo wasn't enough? He didn't truly love you all this time? Come on, Maria Clara. Go back to your senses!"
I just sighed because she can't understand me. All of the characters here will never understand me. It's only Simoun who understands me well, but he is also the one who put me in this situation.
"I'll just going back to my room," I said dismissively.
-
Another day passed, and I woke up so early again. Do I even sleep? I think I slept for two hours. I am thinking about Crisostomo!
Well, not because I am in love with him, don't get me wrong. I wondered how what will happen to us now that we broke up. I know that I can arrange the events here but how?
I want to save Crisostomo at all cost, but how can I protect him now that we are not seeing each other anymore! I should make a move!
Another problem, the necklace! I think a lot of it but it turns out that I need Crisostomo. He's powerful in a good way and I believe that he can help me... Only if we will be back together in each other's arms or at least friends.
When I open the door of my room I saw Marites, she's about to go down.
"Hey, Marites!" I called.
She faced me with a smile on her face.
"Good Morning, Miss Maria Clara. What a miracle again! You're doing good!" She said while smiling.
"Doing good? I just slept for two hours so stop annoying me or else I'll fire you," I joked and we both laugh. I think she knows me already. She knows that my attitude is just like this but I'm kind. Look what happened to the necklace.
"What! That's bad for your health, Miss. I think you must sleep again to gain more energy. You have no work that's why you don't need to wake up early. You are blessed, go and sleep."
"Aish! Stop with the drama!" I can sense the drama in her statement. "Where will you go?"
"I will buy you pandesals for breakfast," She said.
"Oh, I'll go with you," I said and I hold her arms. Maybe I need some fresh air.
But I don't think that fresh air will ever be true because after we go down from the stairs, Captain Tiago is at the end of the stairs waiting for me.
"Can we talk privately, Maria Clara?" He said coldly.

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
"Oh, my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?" Ay
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mmh
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh, no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh, my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mmh
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless (oh)
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless (oh)
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane (insane)
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over (over)
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane (I'm insane)
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far (ooh)
It'll leave you breathless, mmh
Or with a nasty scar (leave a nasty scar)
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
