Cronus POV
Days went by ng wala namang naging problema after Phenny's birthday. I processed the contract kinabukasan din agad. I have mixed emotions happiness, guilt and worry. Alam kong one day may haharapin akong malaking gusot but whatever happens hindi ko pagsisisihan ang mga ginawa ko. Because what I did is an assurance na hindi na ako matatakbuhan ng prinsesa ko.
"Cronus!". Humihingal na tawag ni Troy sa pangalan ko ng makapasok sya ng opisina ko.
"You know how to knock right?". Sabi ko ng hindi sya tinitingnan. Then I heard a knock. This guy is really getting on my nerves.
"Good enough?". Sarkastiko nitong tanong.
"Funny". I said lazily. Hindi masisira ng gagong to ang araw ko ngayon. I told myself.
"Get your butt up... We need to go to your house". Matigas na utos nito sa akin.
Napa angat ang ulo ko at tiningnan ko sya na parang isa syang alien. Kailan pa to natutong utusan ako. Sa isip isip ko.
"The clan is in your house!".
Napamulagat ako at napanganga. Parang hindi agad rumihistro ang sinabi ni Troy sa utak ko.
"What the fuck did you say?". Halos maningkit ang mata ko habang nakatitig sa kanya.
"Jesus Christ!..... Do I need to repeat myself?". Napahawak ito sa noo nya.
I grabbed my suit at agad akong tumalima. Troy never called God's name before. So this means....
"This is fucking serious... How the hell did they found out so soon!". I cursed as I speak.
"Tang ina pinsan, ano bang ginawa mo para sugurin ka ng buong family?". Takang tanong nito sa akin.
"I just got married".
"What!".
Halos lumipad ang sasakyan ko sa kalsada at si Troy naman hindi na tumigil sa kakamura. Ang mga tauhan ko halos hindi rin makahabol sa aming dalawa. My mind is filled with worry. Mukha atang tinatraydor ako ng tadhana. Naghahanap pa ako ng tyempo to tell Phenny our situation right now pero parang bombang sasabog na lang ang lahat ng plano sa mukha ko mismo.
Halos takbuhin ko ang pintuan ng mansion ko. Bubuksan ko na sana ng biglang bumuka ito at tumambad si Manang Tacing with worries in her eyes.
"Where's Phenny?". Agad kong tanong.
"Nasa living room kasama nila Senyora!". Malumanay nitong sagot.
I ran to the living room with Troy behind me. Ngayon ko lang napansin na hindi na ulit sya nagsalita after living the office.
"Phenny!". Sigaw ko agad pagdating ng living room.
"Nandito ako Cronus". Prente syang naka upo sa single sofa while my parents are step away from her.
"Kuya!". Sigaw ng isang babae, my sister Coleen.
"When did you arrived". Malamig kong tanong sa kapatid ko na ikinasimangot naman nya.
"Grabe we haven't seen each other for a long time tapos cold treatment pa ang ibibigay mo sa nag iisa mong kapatid na babae. Nakakatampo ka naman kuya!". She pouted.
"This is not the right time for that. You're not supposed to be here. May show ka sa Milan di ba".
"My show is cancelled mas gusto ko yung show na magaganap dito". Kumindat pa ito sabay turo sa parents namin na nanahimik.
"Mom, Dad". I called to them casually.
"Mabuti naman at kilala mo pa kami ang buong akala ko nakalimutan mo ng may magulang ka pa at pamilya". Galit na sabi ng mother ko. My father on the other hand is still always silent.
"Mom, I don't think this is the right time for this". I wanted to beg na kung pwede sana umalis muna sila at sa ancestral house na lang kami mag usap-usap.
"And when is the right time Cronus?.... Tell me!". She sounds so strict and very angry.
"Can we all go to the ancestral house please". Yup, right now I sound pleading.
Narinig ko ng tumawa si Karlo at Troy tapos ay umayos din ulit ng upo after clearing their throat.
"No!... We will talk about this here!". Matigas na sabi ng nanay ko.
I looked at my father wanting to ask for help but the way he looked at me is like saying, you just dig up your own grave son.
"Kung hindi ko pa naka usap ang asawa ni Judge Hertus hindi ko pa malalaman na nagpakasal ka na pala!". Sigaw nito sa akin.
I saw how Phenny turned her head in an instant with mouth gaping because of shock.
Oh dear Lord... I think I'm going to die now.
That's my last words.
