“JEALOUS with what?” Biglang singit ng pamilyar na boses. Bahagyang tumaas ang kilay ni Dolion at napangisi ng patago. Dolion looked at Anica and waiter for her reaction and just like before,  Dolion could see the spark in her eyes while looking at Narsixius. Oh god, I wish she'll look at me the way she looks at him!

Well, it's time to tease someone.

“What's happening here?” tanong ulit ng lalaking kakasulpot lang.

“W-Wala, N!”

“Anong wala! We almost ki—” Bahagyang tinakpan ng mga kamay ni Anica ang bibig ni Dolion para tigilan ito sa pagsasalita.

“We almost kick each others hehe!” Pag-ungot ni Anica. Siningkitan ng mata ni Dolion si Anica pero di s'ya pinansin nito.

“Why?”

“It's none of your business!” Dolion answered Narsixius with a nonchalant look.

“It is. Anica is my business.” Narsixius tried to dig in.

“Why? Jowa kaba n'ya?” Nakataas kilay na tanong ni Dolion na may kasama pang ngisi. 

“Well, if you're not, you better not act dominant. You're like a shepherd trying to bring a sheep in your yard that you don't even own.” Dolion mocked with a slight smirk. Narsixius narrowed his eyes on him.

“Well, it's my obligations to get worried for Anica too.” Narsixius answered and Dolion mockingly chuckled.

“As you can see, she's all fine. You don't need to worry.”

“Where did she sleep?” Narsixius ask suspiciously.

“My house?” Dolion sarcastically answered.

“Which room?” Narsixius' voice became sharper making Dolion happy.

“Can you stop being sarcastic?” Narsixius almost shout.

“Then, can you stop being so nosy?” Dolion defensed.

“Stop being a twit!” Narsixius said. Dolion can sense that he is losing his patience so he tried even more.

“Stop being edgy—”

“Can you guys freaking stop?!” inis na sigaw ni Anica at pumagitna sa kanila. Dolion smiled nonchalantly.

“Ang tataas ng pride n'yo, walang nagpapatalo ha? Grabe! Kulang nalang magsuntukan kayo ah?!” Naiinis nitong sambit at bahagyang tiningnan ni Dolion and naiinis na si Narsixius.

“N, hindi mo naman kailangan mag-alala, mukhang gago lang 'tong si Dolion pero oo gago nga s'ya pero basta, hindi n'ya ako sinaktan.” Sambit ni Anica at marahas na nagpipigil ng tawa si Dolion. When chuckles escaped his mouth, Anica intently looked at him.

“At ikaw!”

“Ako?”

“Ayy hindi siguro.” Naiinis nang puna ni Anica.

“Stop being so sarcastic and scorn. Baka masapak ka ni N at di kana makabangon!”

“Okay, boss!” napilitang sagot ni Dolion.

“Aga-aga ah, may chismis! Anyare dito?” nakataas kilay na tanong ni Meghan at humikab.

“Get yourselves up. Aalis na tayo!” matalim na saad ni Narsixius at pumunta sa kwartong tinuluyan nila kagabi ngunit hindi nakinig si Meghan. Umupo ito sa isang sofa.

“Bakit kaba nagmamadali, N? Tignan mo nga 'to, ang ganda rito oh. Sarap mag-stay dito.” sigaw ni Meghan na ikinangiti ni Dolion.

“You guys can stay here if you want. Isa pa, I have other portion of my house which is not connected in this gable house.”

“Talaga? Saan? Pwede ko ba makita?” Meghan excitingly asked. Dolion looked at Anica to ask permission.

“Kung 'yan magpapasaya kay Meghan, go.”

“How about the others?”

“If they want, mamaya nalang. They're still asleep.” Anica answered.  Dolion offered his hands on her, asking her is she would like to come too.

“Okay, let's go!”

Agad namang lumabas ang tatlo sa gable house ni Dolion at naglakad patungo sa sinasabi n'yang isa pang bahay na parte raw ng bahay n'ya.  Meghan was walking in an awe, enjoying the view of Dolion's path way.

The place was covered with different types of plants— different types of flower bearing trees or even blooming flowers. His house is like a big garden. 

“Ang ganda rito,” bulong ni Anica na narinig ni Dolion.

“You like it?” he asked and Anica nodded. Meghan suddenly stop making Dolion and Anica stop too. That's when Dolion realized that they are in front of his so-called part of his house.

“What the freaking hell?!” napaawang ang labi ni Meghan sa nakita.

Dolion's 'part of the house' was actually a mansion. A roman styled mansion. It was like a palace, to be literal. The mansion gave a nostalgic vibes to Meghan and Anica. And then Dolion saw how shock they were.

“What's wrong?" He asked.

“This? T-This is what you called 'part of the house'?” Tanong ni Anica.

“Parang ang gable house mo nga ang parte lang ng mansyon mo, baliw!” Anica gasped.

“Hmm.. Mali ba yung pagkakasabi ko?”

“The gable house is where I stay and it's literally my house, this mansion is just a part and I don't even came here often.”

“Then, who lives here?” Meghan asked.

“My house keepers.”

Before the two woman could talk or ask again. There are five maids— yes, five maids that went out from that palace like mansion!

“Buenos dias, Señor!” The mayordoma greeted.

“Buenos Dias!”

“Send two maids in the gable house to wait for the three people in there and bring them in here. Then, call Butler Jess, I need him to shop for five different set of clothes for my friends. I also want to talk to our chefs.” Dolion uttered.

“Let's go inside!”

Agad naman silang pumasok at lalong napaawang ang labi ng dalawang babae nang makitang may mga tao nga sa bahay n'ya. Iyon ay ang mga katulong nito. Ngunit ang pinagtaka nila ay kung bakit may mga bata at para bang mag ka pamilya ang iba sa mga ito.

Nang makaupo sila sa mala-pang maharlikang mga upuan ay agad na may lumapit na kusinero, hindi lang isa kundi apat! Four professional chefs went towards Dolion.

“I want you guys to cook for different kind of buffet breakfast.” Dolion asked the chefs. After he talked with the chef, he looked at them.

“B-Bakit ang daming tao rito tapos ikaw lang mag-isa sa gable?” Anica asked.

“Before we talk about anything else, maligo muna kayo. I asked my butler to by you guys clothes.”

“Manang Leith, please guide them to different bathrooms. Make sure they have everything they need for bathing.”

“Pero Doli—”

“Just go, princess! Hintayin ko kayo. Meghan, pagkatapos mo maligo kung gusto mo kumain kaagad pwede, at pwede rin namang maglakad-lakad ka muna kung gusto mo!”

“Talaga? Salamat, Dolion!” Meghan excitingly gasp as she went upstair with a maid who accompanied her.

“You're spoiling her too much.” Naiinis na sambit ni Anica.

“Not just her, princess!”

“But I don't need this!” Pakikipag-away pa nito.

“'Wag mo sabihin saking di mo rin kailangan maligo?” nakataas kilay na sagot naman ni Dolion kaya sumuko na si Anica at pumunta na sa taas. Sinamahan ito ng mayordoma.
