CHAPTER 12.

REBECCA'S POV

Pagkauwi namin sa bahay ay agad kong nakita sila kuya Reb-Reb, Ramone at Rajon. Pati rin si tito Silvan ay nandoon din.

Agad na tumakbo palapit si Riellierre sa kanilang apat at yumakap. Agad namang lumapit sa'min ang mga katulong at kinuha ang mga pinamili namin.

"Tito, naka-uwi na po kami." Sabi ko at nagmano sa kaniya. "How many times do I have to tell you? Call me dad, Rebecca." Sabi niya.

"Tinuring na rin kitang anak simula nang naging kami ulit ng mommy niyo." Dugtong niya pa. "Okay po, dad." Nakangiting saad ko.

"Much better. Feeling ko kasi hindi mo pa rin ako tanggap kapag tito ang tawag mo sa'kin." Paliwanag niya.

"I'm sorry po. Nahihiya po kasi akong tawagin kang dad eh." Sagot ko naman. "'Wag kang mahihiya, okay?" Tumango ako.

"Basta kung kailangan niyo ng tulong, may problema o ano pa man, nandito lang ako. 'Wag kayong mahihiyang lumapit kasi lahat kayo, anak ko." Sabi niya at niyakap namin siyang lahat.

"Kamusta ka Chris?" Tanong ni dad kay Chris. "I'm fine. Happy with my fiancé." Nakangiting sagot niya.

"Fiancé? I'm not informed that you already had one. Congratulations." Sagot ni dad. "Thank you, tito." Sagot ni Chris.

"Dad, where's mommy? Magpapaalam lang po sana ako." Paninimula ko. "Magstay po sana muna ako sa condo ko dahil may gagawin lang po." Dugtong ko.

"Sasama si Ecca?" Umiling ako. "But mommy I want to be with daddy also tonight." Reklamo ni Riellierre.

"I see." Nakangising saad ni dad. "Dad, i-it's not what you think." Napatingin ako kanila kuya Reb-Reb at nakangisi din sila sa'kin.

"It's not what you think!" Pag-deny ko. Sakto namang dumating si mommy at napatingin sa pwesto naming lahat na nakakunot ang noo.

"Anong meron dito at nagkakasiyahan kayo nang wala ako?" Hinalikan niya si dad sa labi. Pumalakpak si Riellierre sa nakita niya.

"Daddy kissed mommy a while ago too." Pumapalakpak na saad ni Riellierre at napasapo ako ng noo. Nakita kong ngumisi din si mommy sa'kin.

"Alis na po ako. Lilinisin ko pa po 'yung condo ko. Hindi po ako makaka-uwi mamayang gabi, mommy." Hinalikan ko siya sa pisnge.

"Okay. Be careful, huh?" Tumango ako at nagmano ulit ako kay dad at hinalikan ko sa noo si Riellierre at umalis na ko mula sa bahay.

ROBIN'S POV

"Paano sila nagkita, Chris?" Tanong ko agad pagkaalis ng kapatid ko. Lumapit si Ecca sa'kin at kumandong. Niyakap ko siya para hindi siya mahulog.

"Nagkita kami kanina sa grocery. Kasama pa nga ni sir. Blade sila Mr. at Mrs. Ashworth eh." Sagot niya. May family bonding sila?

"Now I envy them. May family bonding sila." Komento ko. "Wala naman sila kuya Blaize at kuya Blazen eh. Si sir. Blade lang ang kasama nila." Sagot naman ni Chris.

"Pero kahit na. Meron pa rin sila kahit paano." I said. Napatingin ako kanila mommy at nagkatinginan silang dalawa.

"Fine. Iisipin muna namin kung saan at kailan. Dapat available kayong lahat pati rin si Rebecca para walang naiiwan." Tumango kami.

"Kailan po pala 'yung kasal niyo, mom?" Tanong ni Ramone. "Kailan ba, baby?" Tanong ni mommy at yumakap kay father.

"Next week? Is that okay with you? Gusto kitang ma-solo for the whole week, baby." Hinalikan niya si mom. Tinakpan ko 'yung mata ni Ecca.

"Please make out inside your room and not here." Saad naman ni Rajon at agad naman silang tumakbo papunta sa kwarto nila.

"Is it just me or feeling ko talaga ay may iba pa tayong kapatid nang hindi natin alam?" Takang tanong ko sa kambal.

"Most especially that they have a past relationship before all of this." Tumango ako kay Ramone. Nagkatinginan kaming tatlo.

"Let's investigate, shall we?" Tumango kami at umalis para malaman ang tungkol diyan. Sinama na rin namin si Ecca para naman hindi siya maiwan dito na mag-isa.

BLADE'S POV

I went on Blaize nii-chan's office and I saw him being frustrated. This is not the first time that I saw him like that. Oli is really good at making him frustrated.

"What happened to you, nii-chan? You look so frustrated." I put down the folder on his table while waiting for his answer.

"Damn. I'm not satisfied." I am confused because of his answer. Did Oli tease him again with her flirting? That little girl really knows how to play with my brother.

"What happened? Did Oli do something to you? Did she tease you again?" I asked him. "She's always teasing me to the point that I'm going to be crazy." He answered me.

"By the way, I already saw her. I talked to her and I'm doing everything to make it up to her." I said. "How did you see her?" He asked me. I have to know also why he didn't tell me that he saw her yesterday.

"I saw her a while ago in the grocery with a child. She's with Chris when I saw her." I answered him and smiled. "She told me that you met up with her yesterday with Oli and she's going to talk to me tonight." I added to him.

"She told me not to tell you that I met her yesterday. She's still not ready for you to know everything. That's why I didn't tell you anything. Both me and Olivia." He explained.

"I see. I understand, nii-chan. I'm not mad just asking." I commented. I have to ready myself too for tonight.

"You should've stayed with her, right now. Make it up to her, I'll call you if I need you here with me in the company." He told me.

"Or be ready for tonight. I'll handle everything here and I'll call Blazen nii-chan if I need help." He added to me.

"That's the reason why I am here, to ask permission from you. Thank you, nii-chan." I said then I went on my way to prepare myself for tonight.

REBECCA'S POC

~ 8 PM. ~

Hinanda ko na lahat ng mga pagkain dahil tinanong ko siya kanina kung kumain na ba siya at sinabi niya ay hindi pa kaya naman pinaghandaan ko siya.

Maya-maya lang ay may kumatok na sa pintuan at agad ko 'yon binuksan at nakita ko si Riel. Pinapasok ko na siya sa loob.

"Naghanda ako ng pagkain. Sabi mo kasi ay hindi ka pa nakain eh." Sabi ko at nginitian niya ko. Pinasandal niya ko sa pintuan at hinarang ang braso niya sa magkabilang gilid ko.

"But I want you, babe." Bulong niya at bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Nilapit niya ang mukha niya sa'kin at hinalikan ako.

I put my arms around his nape and kiss him back. He held me on my waist and his kisses went down on my neck. I hug him tightly.

"Riel, this can wait. Mamaya na 'to. Sayang 'yung pagkain." Bulong ko at tumigil naman siya. Pinagdikit niya ang noo naming dalawa.

"Fine. Let's eat then talk. Then after that, I won't let you sleep tonight until tomorrow dawn." Tumango ako at umupo na kami sa upuan para magsimulang kumain.
