EVE WOKE up from the blinding lights na nagmumula sa kaniyang sa
bintana. She couldn’t open her eyes properly dahil sa sinag ng araw na nagmumula roon. Sino kaya ang nagtabi ng mga kurtina? Hindi naman basta papasok ang mga maids ng walang pahintulot. Pikit matang bumangon siya ng kama. Nag-inat ng katawan at naramdaman ang pag kirot ng bawat kalamnan. It must be from the game yesterday, siguro ay kailangan na muli niyang mag workout to gain her strength back. Nag stretch pa siya ng ilang beses habang nakapikit pero napahinto bigla.

“Damn. Anong oras na ba?”

“It’s past eight in the morning, dear cousin.” Sagot ng isang boses lalaki at napatalon siya sa gulat dahil doon.

Lumingon siya para alamin kung sino ang taong iyon and to her astonishment it was non other than her cousin— Eugene Rett! Nakasandal ito malapit sa may bintana, he’s giving her a weird look.

“You!” Asik niya dito. Her eyes squinted, “Who gave you the permission to enter inside my own room?! I don’t like people barging inside my territory.” She gave him a cold stare. Sino ba ito sa akala nito?

Ngimiti ito, “I’m sorry. I’ll keep that in mind.”

“You better be. Now get out of my room!”

Hindi naman ito sumagot pa, he only stared at her for a couple of seconds, he’s even raising a brow at her before pulling himself off the wall. “Breakfast is ready.” Sambit lang nito before going out of her room. Ni-lock agad niya iyon pagkatapos.

She sighed. That nerve of that guy. Mukhang hindi sila magkakasundo nito dahil sa pag-uugali nito. Pumasok na siya ng banyo to do her daily routine. After those ay bumaba na siya for breakfast. Naabutan niya ang pinsan na nasa hapag, he was reading a newspaper while sipping his own coffee. Eve raised a brow. He’s exactly doing the same gestures as her grandfather when he was alive.

A maid pulled a chair for her. She nodded at her saka naupo. Napatingin siya sa kabisera, she misses her grandfather so much. Agad niyang iwinaksi ang alaala, malulungkot na naman siya at ayaw nya ng ganoon. She started eating.

Rett glance at her. Sa katapat na silya niya ito nakaupo. “What time is your next subject?” He asked.

She skipped the first subject nga pala because she woke up late. Just great. “Nine-thirty.” Maikling niyang sagot.

“Okay. Sumabay ka na sa akin.”

“No, thank you. May maghahatid naman sa akin.” She replied. And why on earth na sasabay siya rito?

“Miss Eve,” the maid called her attention kaya napatingin siya dito. “Nasa casa po lahat ng sasakyan niyo for monthly check-up, utos po iyon ni attorney.” Imporma nito.

Eve gaped at her, “As in lahat?” What the hell? Why isn’t she informed with that? She now owned those belongings of her grandfather. Bakit hindi ipinaalam sa kanya iyon? At bakit lahat yata ng sasakyan ay sabay sabay na dinala sa casa? Something is definitely wrong.

“Opo. Bilin po ni attorney.”

She saw Rett grinned at mabilis na nawala rin iyon ng samaan niya ito ng tingin. This is entirely impossible! Sa huli, wala na rin siyang choice kundi ang sumabay sa bwisit na lalaking nagngangalang Rett.
