Once His Nanny ( BOOK II of All Around Nanny)

♛Chapter One♛

♛Chapter One♛

Five years ago..

"Papa? You called me?" Alana Serinio, the eldest daughter of Gustavo Serinio. Matagal ng patay ang asawa ni Gustavo at katabi nga nito ngayon ang kanilang madrasta—mas batang madrasta nasi Aileen Serinio.

"Come here dear. Please excuse us, sweet." Mataray na tumayo si Aileen—they clearly disliked eachother. Tanging si Tara ang kasundo nito dahil siguro sa pareho sila ng edad ng nakababata nitong kapatid.

"What's wrong with Aileen, papa?" With a warning on Alana's face at matalim na sinundan ang babae hanggang sa paglabas nito.

"Let's not talk about your perspectives with your mother, Alana." Mother!? Gustong masuka ng babae nang marinig niya yun. She loves her father, yes pero ang marinig rito ang salitang yun? She completely loathed it!

"My mother died a very long time ago, as far as I remembered. Anyway, what's with this urgent call? You know I have a date with Chris today.." Maanghang na wika nito saka naupo sa bakanteng upuan.

"Do you want to have millions? Scratch that, billions? Buy what you want and fly wherever you want with your own plane?" Sumilay ang isang kakaibang ngiti sa mga labi ni Gustavo habang matamang nakinig si Alana. Why, she loves it! Who doesn't!?

Ngumiti ang dalaga. Seemed her father here has huge task for her, huh? "You know I love it so damn much, papa. What should I do then?" Then Gustavo told her daughter their secret plan that only her little sister had known. Tara that was reading on her favorite fiction book and heard their plan but didn't bother at that moment not until she witnessed how serious her big sister was in doing what their father told her so.

"You're baiting that poor guy and then having an affair with Chris!?" Tara whispered. After that business event that they attended with their father—Alana stumbled with a man named Ylejah Ortega.

Tara seemed was staring to a prince-like-gentleman wearing his best suit that night but dearly glanced at her clingy sister.

Alana and Gustavo's lure worked that night! Baiting a billionaire business man..

"Shut up, will you? Don't you dream to have your own car? Or shop 'til you drop? Gosh, sister—dream big!" Alana swayed saka ito lumabas ng library room kung saan tinungo nito ang naghihintay na bisita sa labas, Ylejah Ortega.

Tara peaked on the two. Ylejah handed her sister with pretty bouquet of roses.

When last night she had accidentally seen Chris and her making love at their garage! Saka naiinis na sinara ni Tara ang pintoan.

***

And months just passed, Tara had heard that Ylejah proposed to her sister! Masaya pa ngang ipinakita ni Alana ang diamond ring nito pero hindi niya ipinakitang masaya siya sa paraan ng laro ng ama nito at ng sariling kapatid—hinding tama..

Hanggang sa ikasal nga sina Ylejah at Alana—Tara had seen everything..maging ang pagtataksil ni Alana. Yes, nabuntis ito pero alam niyang hindi kay kay Ylejah ang bata! Kitang-kita ng dal'wang mga mata niya..

Ilang beses ba niyang gustong ipagkanulo ang sariling ama at kapatid? Maraming beses! Maraming beses din siyang naduwag dahil baka kung anong magawa ni Ylejah sa kapatid o sa ama— or does he even bother to believe her? She was like an invisible thing to him.

Parating si Alana lamang ang nakikita nito..

Oo, palihim siyang nasasaktan..

Dahil palihim niya itong minamahal! That's why she cannot entertain those men what her father wanted but she vowed to herself—hindi siya tutulad sa kapatid!

Tara:

"Chris! Please listen.." My sister was clearly sobbing in her room..with Chris inside. Wala si Ylejah dahil nasa isang business trip at next week pa ang uwi.

And papa shamelessly tolerate Alana! Nasa bahay sila ngayon—sa susunod na buwan pa gustong tumira ni ate Alana sa mismong mansyon ni Ylejah. Why can't she leave when she wanted to have those material things she badly wanted? Dahil kay kuya Chris!

"Listen? I am completely stuck for months with you and your f****ing promises! And now what? You'd tell me you might go to his mansion and live there, for how long!?" I heard how kuya Chris felt agitated. Too impatient with the things that ate Alana promised. Ba't pa kasi sila humantong sa gan'to? This is all ate's fault!

"Fine, fine! But living with him won't take long, babe—you know that. I have a plan—we have a plan, right?" What plan? My eyes owled by how it sounded so dangerous! May gagawin ba itong masama?

"F**k, babe but you're right—let's stick to our plan. I already contacted someone—a f***ng big time group. Just be vigilant in the airport, okay? As I give you the signal—you should leave his side immediately. You got that?" A-Anong pinagsasabi ni Chris!? Natutop ko ang sarili kong bibig bago pa man ako mahuling nakikinig sa labas ng nakaawang na pinto. Nagmamadali akong pumasok sa kwarto at hinanap ang phone ko—I need to call Ylejah! I need to warm him..

Sobrang kaba ang nararamdam ko ngayon pero hindi nito sinasagot ang phone! Gusto kong makipag-usap kay ate pero nandun si Chris.. Pero natatakot ako.. Masyadong delikado ang lahat.. Does papa know about this!?

Airport.. Tama, may flight sila papuntang Pilipinas next week. Isasama ni Ylejah si ate. C-Could it be..? Oh my God! M-May gagawin ba silang masama kay Ylejah sa..airport!?

***

A week later..

I parked my car at the airport's lobby. My heart beat's thrashing and I could hear it! Kailangang maabutan ko sila ni ate at Ylejah sa airport. Nang maisara ko ang pintoan ay isang kakilakilabot na pagsabog ang naring ko mula sa loob ng airport!

Oh my God..! Ylejah..!

I was late..

"Y-Ylejah! O-Oh my God..!" Nang ma-rescue ang mga sugatan na pasahero sa loob ay kaagad kong nakita si Ylejah—he's alive! Pero karga nito ang katawan ng kapatid kong buntis at walang malay..

Tumakbo ako palapit sa dal'wa—sugatan rin si Ylejah pero nanlumo ako sa sinapit ni ate!

"Alana!!" Hindi nagsalita si Ylejah at bakas na bakas ang pag-aalala at takot sa mukha nito. Oh my God.. Kung alam mo lang, Ylejah!

"I..I'll follow you at the hospital." Sabi ko saka tinungo ang kotse ko. There I saw Chris! Nasa isang sulok ito kasama ng mga taong nakiki-usyoso—matalim ko siyang tiningnan habang tinakbo ko ang nakaparadang sasakyan sa lobby. Hindi ko namalayang sinundan niya pala ako.

"How's she? How's Alana?" Galit ko siyang hinarap at malakas na sinampal!

"I know! I heard everything --you did this--!" Saka niya tinakpan ang bibig ko ng mariin. Bakas rito ang pagkademonyo! Papatayin na sana nito si Ylejah pero ang napurohan ay si ate Alana..

"You should f***ing zip that mouth of yours—or else, you and your father will be burnt alive. You hear me? Now, follow your sister and make sure she doesn't say anything to that bastard Ortega!" He warned me pero nakita ko sa isang sulok na may mga pulis na papalit sa'min.

"Put your hands in the air!" Tatakbo sana si Chris pero kaagad na tinuhod ng isang pulis kaya natumba 'agad.

Nang araw na iyon ay nakulong si Chris—isa ito sa main suspect ng bombing dahil na rin sa kakaibang kilos nito na nadatnan mismo ng mga pulis.

That day, my sister..died..

And my niece was prematurely born..
