China's PoV
"Bakit naman inurong mo ang date ng kasal niyo? Paano kung may lumandi doon?" tanong ni Talia nang nasa pool side kami. She's been talking to me since yesterday. Hindi ko rin pinapansin si North, bilang kaparusahan. Hangga't nakikita kong hindi siya humihingi ng tawad, at natututo.
"That's my kind of punishment, at kung may lumandi man sa kanya...nasa kanya na 'yon kung magpapalandi siya, if it's love then hindi siya malalandi kahit pa may maghubad sa harap niya," I said. Nilingon ko siya at naabutan ko ang kanyang pagngiwi.
"Tanggap naman nina West at East na kasalanan talaga nila 'yon, kaya sila pinarusahan," pilit niya pa.
"Well ako? Hindi katanggap-tanggap ang ginawa niya. Tama na sana na pagsabihan sila eh, pero 'yong gano'n?" Heto na naman ako. China stop being inconsiderate okay?
Huminga ako ng malalim at tumango. Napahilot pa ako sa aking sentido.
"I'll think of it,"
"Thank you!" magiliw niyang sabi saka ako niyakap.
Tumango nalang ako. North Delacroix, you're giving me a headache.
Third Person's PoV
North has been worried since yesterday. Mukhang tototohanin pa ni China ang parusa nito sa kanya. She's been ignoring him since yesterday. Walang imik kapag kinakausap. She don't even want to see him. Katunayan ay sa guest room pa siya natulog dahil lang doon.
"What have you done, North..." bulong ni North sa kanyang sarili habang palihim na pinagmamasdan si China at Talia na nag-uusap sa pool side.
Talia promised him that he will help him this time para magkaayos na sila, now he's hoping that It'll work.
"Papa?" boses iyon ni Knight na nakadungaw sa pinto kung nasaang silid si North.
"Yup? What is it, baby?" he asked. Naglakad ito palapit doon at mabikis itong binuhat.
"Nothing. I just want to be with you," Knight smiled at him.
"Mom's still upset," kwento ni North kay Knight, lumabi naman ang huli.
"You made her upset, Papa," napailing nalang siya. How the heck will he tame China?
China's PoV
"I heard what happened yesterday, China," it was my mother. Umalis ako kanina. Pinigilan ako ni North pero nang magsalita ako ay wala na rin siyang nagawa.
"What am I gonna do?"
She sighed.
"Open your mind, kailangan ngayon palang na hindi kayo kasal ay intindihin mo rin siya, maybe he did that because he's worried or something..." she said.
Tumango ako. She's right, maybe immaturity's trying to eat me again. Napagdaanan ko na noon, dapat ay natuto na ako pero parang babalik na naman ako roon.
"I'll talk to him when I got home. Thank you, Ma," I kissed her goodbye. I will shop first for peace offering gift bago ako umuwi.
"Manong, let's go po. Sa mall muna, may bibilhin lang ako," utos ko kay Manong Miguel.
While on our way to the mall,my phone rang. It was Talia who's calling. I swiped it to answer.
"H-hello,China?" nanginginig ang boses niya. Napakunot ang aking noo at hindi maiwasang kabahan.
"S-si...si...N-North," halos hindi niya iyon masabi ng diretso dahil mas nauuna ang mga hikbi.
"Why? What about him?"
