Chapter-125

New Year, new hmmm..

Jay-jay's POV

"Kit... I'm really sorry." ["Okay,
it's my fault too. Sorry too."] Kit answered me from the other line. "Take a break... Happy new year." ["Happy
new year too. Thank you Jay."] He said before completely hanging up the call. I was embarrassed by him. He
tried to kiss me. There! I punched him, his face was bruised. I was so shocked that I moved my hand to punch
him. But because of that, it seemed like she came to her senses and even thought about leaving her room.
Her father didn't greet them. Oh my! Her situation is so difficult. I should talk to Mayo. I need to hear her side
and she's already planning to do so. I was a little confused by what Eren and Kit told me. Mayo is said to be
bisexual and Kit isn't the only one this guy has a relationship with. I know what Bisexual means, but I was
confused by Mayo. It's not obvious to her that she's like that. Do Keifer and them know this? That's another
problem. If Kumag already knew the truth, he would probably have found a way to get these two out of
Section E. But if not,What will he do if he finds out? Haaaaiiizt I don't want to think about it. They're pathetic
when that happens. I heard the loud fireworks outside. It's not even 12 but if they can light fireworks, then it's a
real shame. You rich people! We didn't buy any kind of fireworks. We're not celebrating here. We're going
somewhere. Speaking of going somewhere, I haven't even gotten ready yet. I quickly ran to the bathroom to
take a shower. I need to be fresh when we welcome the new ye
ar. I acted quickly. When I came out of the
bathroom, I stopped when I saw Aunt Gema rummaging through my cabinet. "Why, Aunt?" I asked. She looked
at me for a moment and smiled. "I'll choose what you'll wear." Huh?! "No need... I'm fine in pants and a shirt."
"That's not possible... We're going to a party. You have to be dressed." Dressed? I don't want to go. I'm staying
at home. It's just the two of us, Snorlax and I, celebrating. "Auntie, I don't feel well. I won't be coming." I said
while pretending to have a headache. "Stop it, Jay... I won't be able to take care of you----here's the thing!"
Auntie suddenly said while holding a white dress. Oh my! "..wear it! Hurry!" Auntie excitedly ordered me.
Next time, I'll burn all the dresses in my closet.
I had no choice but to take the dress and wear it. It fit
me but I wasn't comfortable.
"It's something for you..." Auntie said and looked at the dress.
She suddenly made me sit on the bed. She took out a comb and started
fixing my hair. Honestly, I don't like it like this. That's why I was embarrassed
by her.
She pinned my hair and put something like a headband on me.
"That's it... I'll put make-up on you later." Auntie said.
Hm?!
"Just like this, Auntie... I'm okay with this."
"No! You should have at least a little make-up." She insisted.
I was forced to smile and nod. I felt like a doll being fixed
by Auntie.
She said goodbye to me. She said she would fix it and get dressed.
She left me in the room while looking in the mirror.
I had never fixed it like this. Even at our prom at my old
school, I didn't do it like this. Because I didn't attend.
I took the bag that was a small companion for my clothes.
I left the room and went straight to the living room. It was only Kuya and Aries who were there.
They both looked at me.
"N-nice.." Kuya said.
"Can I just wear pants and a shirt?" I said goodbye to him.
His eyebrows immediately crossed. "Stop." There was a hint of
threat in his voice.
Pfffttt...
I slumped down on the sofa opposite where Aries was sitting.
He was wearing a polo shirt and I have to admit he looked handsome now.
That's it, his look was serious again. I couldn't
tell if he was angry at the world or at himself.
His cellphone rang for a moment. He immediately stood up and said goodbye to
Kuya. He said he was going to pick up Ella.
We waited for a few more moments. I noticed that
Kuya Angelo seemed restless. He looked like he was having a bowel movement.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
He just shook his head and continued what he was doing. There was a few more moments and it seemed like
he wanted to tell me something.
"Why?" I asked him again.
"Jay... Your friend Yuri. How is he?" He asked me.
Yuri?
"It's fine... They're still in Japan, I think."
He nodded. "Did he say anything to you before he traveled?"
Did he?
Nothing, except that he wanted me to get married.
I shook my head at Kuya. "W-nothing... Why?"
He took a deep breath. He also touched his chest. "Do you
like him?"
Hm?
"H-ha?"
Is this Kuya going crazy? He's so surprised! And why is he
interested in Yuri? My goodness!
Kuya Angelo didn't say anything more. Tita Gema and Lola arrived.
Tito Julz followed them.
"Let's go. Let's go. We might be late." Tito said and went straight to the
garage.
We followed him. We were in an SUV.
Tita and Lola were next to each other. Kuya Angelo was the driver and Tito was next to him.
"Where's the party we're going to?" I asked them.
No one answered me. Aunt and Grandmother just smiled but
Uncle looked away.
What was wrong?
During the trip, I just kept looking outside until
I saw a familiar building.
Yuri's building. It looked like we were going there too.
Kuya stopped in front of the main entrance. He handed the car keys to a
man and we got out one after another.
The entrance was already closed. The chandelier was so big.
I wanna swing... Like a---huh?!
I suddenly started singing. What was that?!
We stopped in front of the elevator and waited for it to open.
I was in the middle of all of them. When the elevator door opened, we got in.
We were the only passengers so Aunt took the opportunity and took out
her face powder. She rubbed it on my face then she took out lip
gloss and put it on my lips.
"There! You look beautiful!" Aunt said.
The one who couldn't move and didn't move----that's me!
We were silent for a moment until Grandma suddenly spoke.
"Jay... No matter what happens. Don't get mad
at us. Listen to our explanation first." Grandma said.
I was a little confused by what she said. I was about to ask
what that meant when the elevator door opened.
They all got out so I followed. We walked down the hallway for
the rich. The floor was shiny, I could see my reflection.
Oh, I could see my shorts!
We stopped in front of the big door with flower vases on
both sides. The crew talked to Kuya Angelo and
then opened the door.
I can only say one thing. Wow!
Aside from the number of people, they were dressed beautifully. It was obvious that the people here were full
of arrogance----wealthy. That's the chandelier
again . There were huge round tables on the side. The middle was a dance floor for those who really felt the
music and wanted to dance. The crew took us to our table which was quite close to the stage. There were
Aries and Ella there. Wow! They were ahead... I was about to sit down when I saw someone familiar. I thought
I saw Keifer. "Jay..." Someone called out to me. I turned to face who it was. Yuri! I approached him. "Are you
back... My greeting?" I asked while holding out my palm to him. He just laughed at me while rubbing the back
of his neck. Was that my greeting? Laughter? "Happy new year." He said. "To you too... My greeting?" I
repeated. He laughed again. Suddenly, he pinched my cheek. "Later." He said and walked closer to our table. I
was about to follow him but a hand grabbed me and pulled me to the middle where there were people
dancing. When we stopped, he held me by one hand and the other by the waist. In my shock, I noticed too late
that we were already dancing. I looked closely at the person in front of me. Is this Keifer? Why does he look so
handsome now? He and Yuri are both still wearing their tuxedos. "I know, I look handsome but no need to
stare like that." He said and smirked. Oh my! "You're so arrogant." He just laughed at me. I suddenly stared at
him. His hair was so neat. It wasn't messy like before and I could see his earrings. I really looked beautiful
with the earrings he was wearing. There were many that looked like them but the one he was wearing was the
one I liked the most. "You look pretty." He said, making my heart beat faster. He said pretty oh! Ahihihihi.. "I
don't have anything to give you. I'm still on loan." I replied to him. "Tss. You don't know how to accept
compliments, do you?" "I know. I'm just not used to hearing that from you." He laughed a little. It's true, he
doesn't compliment me. Maybe it's because it's a holiday today that's why he's giving me compliments.
"What's going on at this party anyway?" I asked him. "You'll know later." She answered and suddenly stopped
dancing and let go of me. She smiled at me and walked away. I was left in the middle. Suddenly the lights
went out except for the spotlight on the stage and the people applauded . "Good evening ladies and
gentlemen!" A man on the stage said while holding a mic. "...And Happy New Year!" The people quickly
returned the greeting. "Thank you! Thank you!" He said and raised his hand to silence the people. "...aside
rom celebrating New Year we are also celebrating Mr. Yuri Hanamitchi's birthday!" The people suddenly
applauded and looked...at me? Hm?! When I looked to my side, Yuri was next to me. He smiled and waved to
the people. "Is it your birthday?" He nodded at me. "At exactly 12:30am of January 1." Cool! "We also would
like to announce the partnership of Hanamitchi's and Fernandez's Corp!" The man on the stage said again and
there was another round of applause. Fernandez? They're Brother Angelo. They're like that with Yuri. I'm not
aware of things like that. "...and as a symbol of there partnership we would like to announce Mr. Yuri
Hanamitchi and Jasper Jean Fernandez Mariano's engagement!" I wanted to clap. But there was something
wrong, they mentioned my name and there was an engagement attached. I was confused! Yuri grabbed my
waist and pulled me closer to him. I just looked at him while he continued to smile and wave at people. "Y-
yuri... What do you mean by that?" He looked at me in surprise. "Didn't they mention Angelo to you?" Yes!
That's why he was asking! "Jay... This is a business deal between Angelo and Tanda. We're getting married." In
my shock, what he said didn't sink into my brain. I wasn't even aware of what was happening around me. I
noticed too late that I had deliberately walked out while crying. It felt like the people around you were making
you look like a fool. That's how I am now. What is this? Why is this? +
