Defending Mr. Billionaire (Sandoval Trilogy #1) | COMPLETED

Chapter 92

Atty. Christine Villeza

"Ang dami naman nitong hinahanda natin, Christine? May bisita ka bang inaabangan?" tanong sa akin ni Ate Sising habang tinutulugan niya akong maglabas ng mga pinamalengke niya kanina.

I asked her earlier if she can buy me these raw ingredients because I want to prepare something extravagant as our lunch later. I was expecting Jelsey and the Hemsworth sisters to come. It's Sunday today and it's our only rest day. We're gonna have a get-together until this eve.

"Pupunta po yung mga kaibigan ko, Ate Sising."

She smiled as she helped me prepare all these ingredients. "Ahh, ang akala ko para sa inyong dalawa lang ito ni Charisse eh." nakangiting sambit niya. "Hindi pa nga pala gising ang batang 'yon. Alas-onse na."

"Baka ho pagod. Magdamag nag-isip 'yon dahil mag-iisang linggo na siyang walang plano sa mga susunod na hakbang niya ngayo't nakalabas na siyang hospital."

Tumango-tango si Ate Sising at ngumiti. "Nako, h'wag kang mag-alala. Tutulungan kita dito para pag-gising ni Charisse ay may makain agad kayo. Napakabait ng batang iyon eh."

Napangiti naman ako sa tinuran nito.

Speaking of Charisse, she has been living with me for a week now since she was discharged from the mental hospital. Bukod sa wala pa siyang matutuluyan, gusto niya muna na makasama kami hanggang makapag-adjust na siya dito sa bagong mundo niya. I also told her to make a plan on how she will move forward.

Kaso mukhang nahihirapan siya. She didn't know where to start yet. Ang sabi ko naman sa  kaniya, tutulungan namin siya. She has been very thankful since then.

"Ma'am Christine, nandito si Sir Anthony." narinig kong sambit ni Kuya Caesar kaya agad akong napatingin sa pintuan. Nandoon si Kuya Caesar sa pintuan habang pinagbubuksan si Anthony. As soon as Anthony entered the door while carrying a basket, Kuya Caesar nodded at me and went out.

Ngumiti na rin ako tapos ay sinalubong si Anthony. I winked at him and chuckled. "You don't have to visit me here everyday. . . but I appreciate your efforts."

He smiled and kissed me passionately. After three seconds of romantic kissing, binigay na niya sa akin ang basket na dala-dala niya. "This was from your mother. She personally asked me to bring this to you. Baka raw masyado ka nang nagiging busy at napapabayaan mo na ang sarili mo."

I got the basket from his hand and put it on the table near me. Mukhang aalis din agad si Anthony dahil hindi siya pumapasok o umuupo sa sofa. "She could have delivered it through a delivery bookings. What else did she say to you?"

"Well, aside from giving me my own pocket lunch, she mentioned that I have to rely this message to you."

My forehead curled, "What message?"

"She met Mom, I don't know when. My Mom want your mother to take care of Charisse since she was staying here. Simula daw ngayon, padadalhan ka na niya lagi ng pagkain para hindi ka na rin mahirapang magluto." Anthony said and held my hand.

"She doesn't have to do that. I'll talk to her later." I said and smiled. Dahil magulo ang ayos ng kaniyang uniporme ay inayos ko na rin ito bago siya umalis. "If you're busy, Anthony, you don't have to personally accomplish Mama's request. Pwede mo naman ipa-deliver kay Agustus."

Hinawakan niya muli ang aking kamay at ngumiti. "But I want to see you as well----!"

"Good morning, Christine!" I heard Charisse screamed from the second floor as she yawned. Mukhang hindi pa talaga kami nito nakikita dahil nagkakamot pa siya ng kaniyang mata. "Ay mukhang good afternoon na dapat. Patanghali na eh----oh, hi there, motherfucker?"
