BARYO 1: The Brat (On-GOING)

23

Katatapos lang ng tawag ko kay Kurt. Ngayon kababasa ko ng komento sa litratong pinost nito noong namasyal kami sa Tagaytay. Iyong una ay pareho kaming naka pang swimming at iyong pangalawa ay nasa restaurant kami.

Even my friends are already leaving comments there.

Nathania:

Kabahan kana Calvin Klein.

Unice:

Inunahan mo pa ako! Ares ko ang bagal mo kasi!

Unice even mentioned Ares in her comment. Kung may angry lang na react sa comment, baka iyon ang ginawa ng inis na inis na si Vaughn.

Alyssa:

So sweet! Love you both!

I closed my phone with a wide smile. I was about to step out of my room when I heard my laptop.

Gusto ko sanang huwag ng sagutin pero si Tito iyon!

"Tito? Are you looking for Tatay?"

He was alone on their balcony, holding his cup. Pansin ko rin ang diyaryong nasa mesa niya ngayon.

"No, Iha." sabay lapag ng tasa niya. "I want to talk with you."

"Tungkol saan, tito?"

"Tungkol sa lupa niyo. Nabanggit kasi ng tito Ramos mo na hindi ka parin interesado sa taniman niyo. Would you agree with me when I look for someone to handle your land in the meantime?"

Kahit kailan si tito Ramos! Panira tsk...

"But Tatay wants me to learn something about managing the land, so if you let someone handle it, how can I learn?"
 
Tatay didn't inform them?
 
"I already suggested this to your Tatay."
 
"I don't care, Tito." I cut Tito from talking.

"We are talking about my land here, not his land. So it's my right to decide what is best for it, and I'm sorry. I respectfully refuse your offer."
 
His brows raised a little. "Can I ask why? When I went there, you were not into it, so I was expecting that you would agree according to my terms."
 
"I've changed." I nodded like I was convincing him to believe me. "I'm now ready to face hardship to learn how to manage my land. Sasabihin ko kay Tatay na huwag siyang mangealam sa lupa ko dahil aalaga ko na ito ngayon."

And I don't want you to meddle with this too!
 
"Well, wow..." Tito Damian's jaw dropped before he burst into laughter. "You must be kidding me, Iha."
 
"Well, sorry. I'm not kidding you." I smirk.

Tumikhim si Tito sabay kuha sa tasa niya. Sumimsip siya roon bago nagsalita.

"Baka naman nagmamagaling ka lang?"

"Nagmamagaling ba ang dati ng magaling?"

Tumawa ako sabay inis na nilapit ang mukha sa laptop ko. "Nakalimutan mo po yatang magaling ang lahi natin kaya madali na lang sakin ang mga ganito. Besides, I have a good tutor."

"Tutor?" His brows met.

"We already talk about your issue. Kailangan ko nang ibaba dahil magtutungo pa akong taniman."

"Who's your tutor? Did your father agreed to that? Baka iba namang pagtatanim ang tinuturo sayo, Liwanag!"

I laugh loudly which makes him glared at me. Tito groans and I saw how he crumpled the newspaper because of his anger.

"Legit na pagtatanim ang tinuturo, tito. Inumpisahan na pala namin noon pa."

Umarte pa akong bumibilog ang mata. Nanlaki ang mata ni tito Damian at ngayon halos mahulog na sa kinauupuan.
