PLAYING PRETEND

Chapter 32

CHAPTER 32:

"As far as I remember hindi ito and way patungo sa bahay niyo" I grunted

"I'm not actually going home like 'home'. Dun tayo sa tita ko"

"Ganun naman pala e bakit kasama pa ako?"

"Cool down. Malalaman mo rin"

After a few minutes of drive we finally arrived at his 'Tita's home' and believe me, it's another mansion like the one I saw before.

"Ito ang bahay ng tita mo?"

"This is actually owned by my great grandparent's so when they passed away butlers and maids na lang ang tumao. Yung totoong bahay talaga ni tita condo lang since she live alone at andito lang siya ngayon para tumambay"

"Tumambay?"

Seriously? Ano to waiting shed? Wow ah! Tambayan na lang pala ang mga mansion ngayon.

"Yeah. Nadadalaw lang to pag may reunions or kung may gana kami"

"How could you be so rich?" I whispered to myself

"Now c'mon"

And he dragged me inside the house and of course, being the rich guy he is we were greeted by butlers and maids again.

Not like I'm ignorant, may butlers and maids din naman kami, CEO din si dad, may mansion din kami but still, I don't seem to know why I'm amazed by his family.

"Si Tita?" he asked the old man but he wasn't able to answer when someone came down from the grand stair case.

"Zach!" A lady in her office suit but on slippers, asked. 

"What brought you here?"

"I'll be spending the night here"

"Bakit?"

"Kasi Tita-"

"OH MY GOD What happened to you?!"

And I was shocked when she suddenly panicked upon seeing Zach's arm.

"This is the reason why I want to stay here"

"Oh no Zach hindi pwede!"

"Tita Feb naman"

"Gusto mo bang patayin ako ng daddy mo pag nalaman niyang kinonsente kita sa mga pinag gagagawa mo?"

"Kaya wag mo'kong pauwiin para hindi niya malaman"

"Naku naku! Tigilian mo'ko"

"Pero Tita-"

"At yan. Jusko ko anong nangyari diyan?" and she looked like a retard on her reactions. "Manang Ester dali tawagin mo si Doctor Garcia!"

"What?! NO!" Zach reacted "Isusumbong ako nun kay mommy"

"Naku naman kasi halika ka nga dito." She pulled him on living room leaving me there dumbfounded.

People get hurt and heal. What's the big deal about it? Is he a God to be love like that? Duh!

"Sabihin mo nga anong bang nangyari diyan at wag kang magsinungaling kung magsisinungaling ka man siguraduhin mong kumbensido ako"

"Wala, natumba lang ako tapos nasuporta ko tong braso ko"

"Zachary Austin Santiago- Ren, binabalaan kita" she raised her brow at him, not convinced

"What? I'm telling the truth tanungin mo pa siya" and all their heads turned towards me

"May kasama ka pala?"
