SOLD TO THE BILLIONAIRE

CHAPTER 18

Chapter 18

I managed to calmed before we enter in the house to meet Casper's parents. It turns out that his mother were preparing this family dinner as always. Noong hindi pa ako dumating sa buhay nila, palagi na nila itong ginagawa para bigyan ng oras ang kanilang pamilya. It such a sweet thing to witnessed, especially that I am now including of their family dinner.

Nakakagaan lang ng loob.

Nag-iisang anak lang si Casper kaya nasa kanya lahat ng atensyon ng mga magulang niya. Kahit malaki na siya at may sariling pinagkaka-abalahan, hindi parin nakakalimutan ni Tita na tingnan siya kung kamusta na ba siya. A typical mother who knows how to worry to her child.

Na-miss ko tuloy si mama.

"Coleen!"

A wide smile etched to my lips when Tita Sylvia hopped happily when she saw me entering in their house. Nasa sala siya kasama ang lalaking kamukha ni Casper na sigurado akong ama niya.

"Tita."

"Mabuti at pumunta ka." Maingat niya akong niyakap at nang pakawalan ay mahigpit niyang hinawakan ang dalawa kong kamay. "I really wanted to invite you into this family dinner. Gusto ka ring makilala ng asawa ko," She then quickly glanced at her husband who were now talking with Casper.

"Sana hindi po ako nakaka-abala," napangiwi ako. "This is my first family dinner with someone else's family."

"Oh, silly girl. We don't mind if you are here. Mas masaya pa nga kami," she smiled. "kung may isa mang tao ang mas masaya pa sa amin, sigurado akong si Casper 'yon."

My forehead creased at what she said.

"Ano pong ibig niyong sabihin, Tita?"

"Nothing, I'm just too happy." She chuckled. Lumingkis siya sa akin habang nagtataka ko parin siyang tiningnan. "halika, kumain na tayo bago pa lumamig ang pagkain."

I nodded.

"Sige po."

Nauna kami ni Tita na pumasok sa kusina habang si Casper at ang ama nito ay sumunod habang nag-uusap tungkol sa kompanya.

Their long family table were filled with full of different types of foods in a different cuisine. Pinigilan ko ngang mapanganga sa pagkamangha dahil sigurado akong hindi namin mauubos ang mga putahe na nakahanda sa lamesa.

I mean, those foods were good for five families.

"Here."

Napatingin ako kay Casper nang ipaghila niya ako ng upuan kaya ngumiti ako at umupo rito.

"Salamat."

He just smiled and sat beside me. Sa katapat naming upuan ay si Tita na nakangiti sa amin at ang asawa nito na tinanguan lang ako. He looks strict and I can feel the vibes of Casper to him but it seems different. Hindi ko lang alam kung saan.

"Shall we? Let's eat while having some conversation." Tita Sylvia announced and we nodded in agreement.

Inabot ko ang kutsara para asikasuhin ang sarili nang mauna pa sa akin si Casper. Siya na mismo ang nag lagay ng kanin sa aking pinggan saka ulam na fried prawn at adobong manok na siyang paborito ko.

My lips protruded. Amazed by the way he took care of me. Such a sight to be hold and I can't help to be giddy everytime he do this.

"Eat well." He said. Ngumiti siya at inasikaso ang sarili habang ako ay tipid na tumango at mahinang bumulong.

"Thank you."

I started eating when I felt someone  staring at me. Nag-angat ako ng tingin at hinanap ito nang magtapo ang tingin namin ni Tita. She's smiling softly at me. An emotion were lingering on her eyes and I don't know what is it.
