You Are Mine (Mine Series #1)

Forty- Nine

"Vaeda Teodoro, Ma'am. Good evening," I shook my hands with them at sumunod ang katabi ko.

"Kailean Viornole." tipid na saad niya.

Mrs. Suladay chuckled. "You looked good together hija, hijo and send my regards to your father, Vaeda. I didn't expect that I will see you here in my son's party," ngumiti ako at confident na tumango.

"Oh yes, it's also my pleasure to meet you here Ma'am." tanging nasabi ko. Tinitigan ko si Kathlyn at patagong tinangohan.

Tumikhim si Felix matapos siyang kurotin ni Kathlyn sa braso. "Uhmm Mr. Suladay, can we talk about the thing that you want to talk about? I noticed that it's really important," baritonong ang boses na pagkakasabi ni Felix.

Lumiwanag ang mata no'ng lalaking matanda.

Good job.

"Sure sure! I think I will leave my wife here with these two lovebirds," bumaling siya sa amin. "I'm going now, wifey." may binulong pa siya sa asawa niya bago naglakad palayo sa amin, sumunod naman si Kathlyn at Felix sa kaniya. I looked at the old woman who's now talking to Kailean with a wide smile on her face.

They were a family friend before and I don't know what happened now. Ang alam ko lang ay wala na silang connection kay Daddy. It makes me wonder why they stole the famous necklace, may trucking lines naman sila?

Gahaman lang sa pera? Ganoon?

Kailean said na this party is handled by my friend. Sino naman ang kaibigan ko? Anak ito ni Mrs. Suladay kaya sino?

Sinakbit ko ulit ang braso kay Kailean at nakinig sa sinasabi ng babaeng matanda. "I like that necklace you are wearing hija, bigay bah 'yan sa'yo nitong kasintahan mo?" magiliw na tanong niya habang sinulyapan ang kwintas ko.

"Uhhh yes ma'am! He gave me this beautiful necklace years ago so it's very precious to me," ngiting sagot ko. Napatango-tango naman siya.

"What a lucky couple but anyways, I would like you to meet my son," she suddenly tapped the man's back at noong lumingon siya sa amin ay ganoon nalang ang pagkatigil ng mundo ko. "This is my son, Adriel Suladay and anak, this is Vaeda Teodoro and Kailean Viornole." nanlaki ang mata ni Adriel.

Diyosko! Mayaman pala ang gunggong na 'to?! Bakit parang hindi halata sa mukha niya?!

"Yza?!" gulat niyang tawag.

I weirdly smiled at him. Malaki 'tong problema! Panigurado!

Nagulat ang matanda sa inasal ng anak niya. "You knew each other, anak?" tanong niya at mabilis naman na tumango si Adriel. This is fvck!

"Yes Mama! She was my classmate on my highschool years, ngayon lang kami nagkita ulit!" saad niya. The Adriel before was so different now! He is wearing a simple navy blue tuxedo at ang buhok niyang panget noon ay nakaclean cut na ngayon! Gosh! Nagbabago talaga ang mga tao!

"Hii Adriel," I want to slap my face when I greeted him weirdly.

Akma na sana siyang may sasabihin sa akin nang mapansin kung sino ang katabi ko. "Sir Liam?! Boyfriend ka ni Yza?!" kulang nalang ay mahihimatay siya sa nalaman.

"Yes, I'm his soon to be fiancé kiddo." mayabang na pagkakasabi ni Kailean.

What the fvck?! May gana pa talaga siyang magyabang sa ganitong sitwasyon?! Paniguradong maraming tanong si Adriel sa amin at kung hindi namin siya pipigilan ay baka mabulilyaso ang mission namin! Think Vaeda! Huwag ka na munang tanga ngayon!
