Class or Crass?

As it is said, no amount of success or riches can compensate for failure in the home. Indeed, at any given time, peace and harmony in the family are non- negotiable. In typical Pinoy culture, we try hard in every way we can to salvage family relationships, because no matter how emotionally strong we are, failure and animosity at home can bring us down, one way or another.

But that is not so between Beleaguered Woman BW and her supposed Close Relative CR. The animosity and never-ending saga of these two personalities date back years ago when showbiz/gossip media would feast on them like vultures to its prey. Actually, anything about BW and CR is always good copy and juicy to the bite, so to speak.

There is no love lost between BW and CR as they have been at odds for so long. Their gap has been brewing for years and widened to unthinkable proportions - at the expense of their public reputation. With all the verbal tussle between them, friends of the family believe that damage to the relationship is already irreversible at best.

The two try very hard not to be in one place together, or worse to be seen together in public. It had been the situation for so long such that many important family occasions had to be sacrificed as a matter of course.

There were unconfirmed talks in the past that more than CR, it was BW who was more open for “friendship,” at the very least. BW knew well enough how it would happily impact on her loved ones. But unfortunately, there was no opportunity to bring it through, or no one brave enough to act as go-between for them.

Then one day, something came up surprisingly that could have conveniently realized it. At a certain place, they were surprised to see each other from a distance and both of them would be crossing each other. BW reportedly prepared herself for CR and got ready to at least acknowledge the latter. What happened next, although half-expected, still surprised BW.

When their bodies were about to face each other, CR just passed by BW as if she didn’t exist, and with chin up, haughtily looked up in the air. To those who saw her, it was yet another grand snub by the matriarch.
