THE MONTEFALCOS

Chapter 11

Akira's P.O.V

Nagising na ko and I checked my time on my phone, its 7:30 in the morning. I stood up at ginising na si Aster. Our family knows na ayaw namin ni Mama na late gumising.

"Hey, Nyx. Wake up" I shaked her shoulder at nagising naman siya. Kinuskos naman niya ang isa niyang mata. Alam ko naman wala siyang naaninag kapag umaga dahil nga malabo ang mata nito ng slight. I gave her the golden glasses Mama and Papa gave her at sinuot naman niya ito.

"Goodmorning, sleepy heads" nagulat kami ni Aster ng makita si Mama in her white pencil dress, white high heels and her light make up.

"Goodmorning, Ma....?" Me and Aster confusingly said "May pasok po ba kayo, Ma?" I asked

"Yup, and I was wondering kung gusto niyong sumama sa main office ng kumpanya" she said and flashed a sweet smile to us at niyakap siya ni Aster. I was still confuse. Main Office? Eh Hotel and Casino nga business namin so that means-

"Akira, walang casino ang nakalagay doon sa main office" sabi ni Mama at nakita ko si Aster na tumatawa. Wait, did Mama read my mind?

"Ate, hindi binasa ni Mama ang utak mo. In fact, you're thinking loudly!" sabi ni Aster at tumawa ulit. This is so embarrasing!

"Akira, don't worry about your sister. Hindi ko naman kayo isasama doon sa Main Office kung may casino don di ba? And if there is, how irresponsible of me kung dadalhin ko si Aster at ikaw doon" sabi ni Mama

"No, Ma. Its nothing like that" God, I'm blabbering here to much! "Sige na, mag ready na kayo. I'll just tell the maids to prepare breakfast" sabi ni Mama at iniwan kami ni Aster.

Binato ko ng throw pillow si Aster na agad niyang inilagan "Whoa, what was that for?" tanong niya

"Maligo ka na nga, Ms. Nyx Aster Luna Zamora Montefalco bago mag init ang ulo ko sayo" sabi ko as I rolled my eyes as she bursted again a laugh "Ikaw rin po, Ate Akira Ross Marie Zamora Montefalco" sabi niya at pumasok na ng banyo. Napailing na lang ako.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto niya at nagpunta na ng kwarto ko para maghanda na.

"Aster, dalian mo dyan at hinihintay na tayo ni Mama sa dining table" katok ko sa pinto ng kwarto niya

"Wait!" sigaw niya pabalik sa akin. I sighed. Mauna na nga ako sa kanya.

I was wearing my white long sleeve, black coat, and denim pants. I picked my black rubber shoes dahil its my comfortable shoes. Nilugay ko rin ang buhok ko dahil hindi naman ako mahilig magtali as I also wear a light make up.

Bumaba na ko sa hagdanan at nakita ko si Mama sa dining table as she's reading a book and taking a sip on her coffee.

Mahilig talaga si Mama magbasa and I inherit it as well.

I went to the chair on the side at naupo na. I also want coffee kaya may nakahain na na kape sa upuan ko. I took a sip at kumain ng almusal.

Dumating na rin si Aster, wearing her white hoodie jacket, black pants, white rubber shoes at ang panloob naman niya ay black t-shirt.

Sumabay na siya sa akin kumain at si Mama naman ay minsan kong nahuhuli na pinanonood kami na kumain.

Well, she hate eating in the morning kaya kape at cookies ang kinakain niya sa umaga. Sometimes, she's eating fruits.

After namin kumain ni Aster ay sabay sabay na kaming tumayo at lumabas ng bahay without uttering a word. Alam naman namin kung saan kami pupunta kaya sumakay na kami sa kotse na nakaantabay sa harap ng front door ng mansyon.

Nakarating kami sa isang harap ng malaking building.

"Whoa" me and Aster exclaimed. Ganto pala nagtiyaga sila Mama at Papa, seeing just this building. Just whoa.

Pagkababa namin nila Mama ay sinalubong na siya ng kanyang sekretarya na si Freya.

"Hi, Ate Freya" sabi ni Aster sa kanya. She greeted with a smile "Uhm, Ma'am here's your schedule for today-" I cutted her sentence off

"Ate Freya, you could take a break. Wag kang mag-alala, I'm here. Ako muna magtetake over ng trabaho mo. I'm her daughter, anyways" sabi ko

"But-" This time, Mom cutted her off

"Its ok, Freya. Sige na. You deserve it" sabi ni Mama

And then she hugged Mom "Thank you po, Ma'am!" she excitedly said. Nagkatinginan na lang kami nila Mama at Aster. Niyakap siya ni Mama din pabalik

"Oh sige na at baka hinihintay ka na ng anak mo. I know she's been craving for your guidance" sabi ni Mama

Iniwan na kami ng kanyang secretary para kunin ang kanyang mga gamit sa building. I took Mom's schedule and I could handle it perfectly.

Nakapasok na kami nila Mama sa loob ng company and everyone greeted to her especially me and Aster

Ehh? How awkward for being the one of the heirs of my Mama and Papa
