Tough

CHAPTER 10 | Tough |

I'm used to showing my true nature to people I know and those I just met. I always showed them the worst possible attitude of mine, it was up to them how they would accept me.

Stay who wants to stay, leave who wants to leave. Simple as that.

Experience mold me to be tough, it's not the age that will make you grow and mature, it's the experience.

At my young age, I already experienced a heart broken, not broken from guys and from stupid young relationship, but broken by the first man I loved in this mortality. My father. That's why I ought to sheld and protect myself from that harmful thing called love.

It's not easy for me to trust, it's not easy to steal my heart from me. I'm Mae and I grew tougher each day.

His eyes, it screams something that will make your heart melt. I don't know how to describe the beautiful eyes of him but to use those words.

I smiled at Jayda, I actually wanted to laugh out loud when her t-thrick failed me earlier. Of course, I wouldn’t say I know that. Jayda's face made you think you broke the lottery.

"That's how it is with a brain," I said proudly. The man laughed and shook his head at me.

"It's me," I adjusted my seat and barely faced him.

"What?" aniya.

"You can't say no, you should all answer my question yes, you just answer okay?" It would be better for us to talk about something like this than in the awkward silence before.

"All right, all right," he nodded at me repeatedly as if he were interested in what I had to say.

"There are three cows,"

"Yes,"

"No, I haven't even asked."

"Isn't it yet? Sorry," psh. He's here again, sorry! Hasn’t he been informed that the word sorry is loved in the world?

"Like this, there are three cows, then there are two chickens. The chicken was put on the reef, the cow was left outside. What's left?"

"Yes," he replied.

"Did you put the cow on the reef?"

"Yes," he replied. I grinned and scratched my head.

"I guess you already know that!" akusa ko.

"Hey no ah! I don't know that." I laughed at his answer, at first he wondered if I was laughing but when he realized his answer, his reaction returned as if he had lost in Lotto.

"Thank you," I said to Jayda as we got off the tricycle. I invited him inside but he said he would not last long. I remember, Nerrisa left in the market, maybe she will come back so she is in a hurry.

I was a little conscientious, he and Nerrisa had been together before. I was confused by their hayst walk. That's okay, Mae! They insisted and offered. I said to my mind, trying to console myself and fix some curves.

"I saw Kuya Mike earlier, is he flirting with the grade-eleven girl?" I was stunned by Lian's question. I know what grade-eleven said, older brother that he was flirting with but until now he still hasn't introduced me. He's fine, Lian and seen that.

"Is it beautiful?" I asked her, Lian shrugged.

"Good, but I preferred faces that were just natural." One snorted.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"It's a lot of make-up, but she's beautiful."

Ultra mega turn off! Like Lian, I also don't like women who canvas their faces at school. It's okay to simply fix, powder or liptint, but the complete eyebrows, red lipstick, foundation, eyelashes. Nah! Not my thing.

I don’t want to be stereotyped but I really think of them as bitches or flirty.

"Maybe she's more beautiful with make up?" yes, Rose.

We both shrugged, Lian's shoulders at him.

"I would have bet Chelsey was with older brother Mike in case he was a cheater!" he said, Lian. Yeah, Chelsey is another exgirlfriend of my older brother who broke his heart, he was beaten twice by a woman. And it wasn't just once that the woman cheated on him, it was only the third time, Chelsey. First is, Thalia, second is, Nami, Chloe is not included in the counting because she didn't cheat.

"You know? I really believe in Kuya Mike, imagine huh? Many times he's fooled by girls but he's still kind and loving. He doesn't throw hate, it's just nice." Yes, Rose.

"Ayeihh, did you crush Kuya Mike?" Suddenly pissed him off, Lian. One of the eyes widened and immediately shook.

"No, my type is different!"

"What type? Type A? Yeihh he crush si, Kuya Mike. Mae your future sister in-law oh!" I just shook hands with, Lian. Strength really annoy a 'to.

"Kuya Mike is like my brother! Besides, I like boys with serious facade, Kuya Mike will make you laugh all the time eh."

"Ayeihhh MikeRose yeih."

"It's up to you Lian," Rose said angrily. Lian laughed at him and hugged him.

"It's just a joke, my baby is stressed right away."

I just smiled at the two, I couldn't keep up with their bullying, my brain was flying at the woman he's dating, brother Mike now.

I don't want my brother to be broken, because he is becoming a customer of fraudsters. So, the women he's dating will definitely go through me first.

I wasn't expecting the day to come, I thought it would be too late but that same Sunday, Kuya introduced me to the one he was dating.

"Laisle, this is Serena, my soon to be girlfriend. Rene, Mara Elaisle is my sister." The woman laughed at my older brother's introduction. I, on the other hand, was not ashamed to look at him from head to toe.

He was wearing short high wasted shorts, he was also wearing a red crop top that showed a little skin on his stomach. I immediately didn't like wearing it. She also has thick make-up, from her eyeliner, lipstick, and mascara.

The first time I laid my eyes on this Serena girl. I don't like her.

"Hi! I heard a lot about you from Mike. I always see you on campus too." I folded my arms and nodded.

"Oh really? I'm surprised I haven't seen you on campus yet. That face of yours will always be noticiable." I saw the crack of the woman's lip. She must be taken a back, in her mind she was already wondering if what I said was an insult or a compliment.

When he laughed to recover from the shock. I can feel Kuya's peircing glare to me but no one can stop me.

"Ah, haha ​​nice to meet you Mara."

"Don't call me that, first and for most I hate people calling me Mara, and another we're not that close to call me by my first name." I seemed harsh but that's what I want her to see me. If she's afraid of me I don't care, this is also the way for this woman's bubble to come out early.

"Elaisle, that's enough." I just stared at, Kuya Mike before going upstairs. I don't look good on that woman. Just clothes and make-up are obviously unreliable.
