Cronus POV
Todays is Phenny's eighteenth birthday. Sa wakas I can consider her an adult and today she will be fully mine.
Naghanda kami sa orphanage just like what Phenny wants. Ang mga tauhan ko halos lahat ay may dalang stuffed toys na ikinatuwa ng husto ng prinsesa ko. Well courtesy of that mall. All my men played different games there even Ezra who was simply following us joined and also won a lot more than the others. Si Troy naman nainis dahil hindi daw namin sinabi na mag lalaro lang pala kami dun. Dinaig pa talaga ang bata kung maka reklamo.
The children of the orphanage shows how much they love Phenny. Parang sya na kasi ang pinaka big sister sa kanila and everybody wants her attention. I am jealous but they are her first family. Without them Phenny might not end up with me. Kaya palampasin na lang muna ang pagiging possessive, ngayon lang naman ito, sana.
Sister Luz was very pleased and thankful. Dahil sa naging maganda raw ang na puntahang employer ni Phenny. Pero parang ako dapat ang maging thankful sa kanya because she took good care of my princess for me. Kung wala sya wala din akong Phenny. And also I didn't forget my promise to Phenny, not to tell Sister Luz that we are already a couple kahit gustong gusto ko ng ipagsigawan sa mundo.
The day went smoothly hanggang matapos ang party sa orphanage. Nang malapit na kaming umalis nag iyakan na naman ang mga batang nandoon. Ayaw nilang pakawalan si Phenny. Like they can hold her there forever. Phenny talked to them at lahat naman ay nakinig sa kanya. She also weep when we left the orphanage. Malaki talaga ang naging bahagi nito sa buhay nya and I am very grateful to them.
"Ready to go home princess?". I gently asked her while wiping the tears from her cheeks. Tango lang ang isinagot nya.
We rode back home to our mansion but Phenny is still silent while hugging me tight. We are at the passenger seat. Gumalaw na lang sya ng sabihin kong bababa na kami.
"Cronus bakit ang dilim ata ng bahay... Brown out ba!". Napansin nya agad ng bumaba kami.
I didn't speak, I just guide her at nagpatianod naman sya.
"Cronus ang dilim... Wala ba talagang kuryente. Hindi ka ba nagbayad ng meralco?". Aligagang tanong nito. Nararamdaman ko ang paghigpit ng hawak nya sa braso ko.
Natawa ako sa tanong nya. Thinking that the great Cronus Montague hindi nagbabayad ng kuryente. That would be a headline and a joke of a lifetime.
"Cronus wala namang multo dito di ba?".
Oh shit!.... I forgot about her fear of ghost. Hinapit ko na lang ang katawan nya malapit sa akin.
"Don't be afraid I'm here... At walang multo dito sa bahay ko". I told her dahil baka bigla syang tumakbo palabas, sayang ang surprise. And to make sure na hindi sya tatakbo I hold her tight para mabawasan ang pagka nerbyos nya.
Maya maya pa ay may malilit na ilaw ang biglaang sumindi. Napatili si Phenny. Good Lord I think my eardrums just got broke.
Reklamo ko sa sarili. Sumigaw ba naman sya sa harap ng tenga ko.
A loud laugh broke into the silence of the dark. Ang sira ulo kong pinsan na si Troy imbes na kumanta tumawa muna. Isang boses ng babae ang nagsimulang kumanta ng birthday song at lahat ay nagsigaya na. Lumiwanag ang paligid bigla at nakita na namin ni Phenny sila Troy at ang mga kasambahay na kumakanta habang may hawak na cake, flowers at mga regalo.
Phenny was so shocked that she even cried. Then lumingon sya sa akin. In between her tears there's the sweet smile that I really love to see on her face.
"Happy birthday my princess... Now that your eighteen I can call you now my queen, my love". And I grant her the kiss she always wanted, yung tinatawag nyang halik para sa girlfriend.
I kissed Phenny's lips.
