Tamer of Thorns

"Ma'am we're here" my driver said as we stop in a big house, a mansion to be exact. I came out and 5 maids came running towards me, some are taking my language out the trunk and bringing it to my room, one covering me to the sun using an umbrella of course. "Right here Ma'am Montallana follow us" one maid said as I follow them inside the mansion. There, more maids came forward to welcome me to the mansion "Welcome home Ma'am Creselle" they all said in unison while bowing I motioned them to stop and they did as I told them "My dear grand daughter your here" a voice of a old woman can be heard I look at her with the most sweetest smile I ever wore. "Mama Fey" I said and went to hug her "You must be very tired from your trip, why don't you rest to your room my dear?" She said and motioned the maids to take me to my room. "Thanks Mama Fey" I kissed her in the cheeks and follow the maids who took me to my room. How did I end up in my grandmother's place? Well.... ◦•●◉✿ 𝐹𝑙𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 ✿◉●•◦ The room was quiet except for the soft scratching of a pen against paper. I sat at my desk, my books stacked unevenly beside me, eyes heavy but determined to reviewed my notes. The yellow light of my lamp wrapped the room in warmth while the rest of the house slept. Just as I was finished underlining an important sentence, a sudden knock echoed through the silence. Knock. Knock. "Ma'am Creselle, Mr. and Mrs. Montallana wants to talk to you" the maid said behind my closed door "Tell them I'm coming any minute now" I said continuing what I'm doing "Yes Ma'am" she said and left With that, I left my study table and headed to the living room where my parents are. Once I arrived there, a pillow came flying towards me. I calmly dogde it just in time. Looks like someone is in a bad mood today. "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS CRESELLE ELEIGHN MONTALLANA" my dad shouted angirly Yep, there it is my full name being called out. I just look at him with no expression. I'm Creselle Eleighn Montallana. I was born in a rich family. We live in Philippines but we move to America because my parent's business is here. I'm the youngest child and only girl in our family. I have 2 brother's, Creed Haven Montallana the oldest and Liam Xaver Montallana the middle child. "Honey calm down we can talk about this in a calm way" my mom said trying to calm my father down "Sit down" my father said and I just obeyed him "Honey what's wrong, this isn't you, why would you violate your school's rules?"my mom said with a worried expression in her face I couldn't speak, I broke some rules? What rules? I look at them with confuse look. I would never do such a thing. I'm not a troublemaker that will broke a school rule. "I think, I know why Cres did that" my brother Liam said with a smug face. Here he goes again, the nosy child. Liam Xaver Montallana the middle child of the Montallana family. He always teased us, and tell some corny jokes. I look at him with a confusion. "What do you mean?" "Pagod ka na magsalita ng english no" he said still wearing those smirk Everyone fell in silence, no one dare to speak. Except for him, of course. "Oh bat tumahimik? Totoo naman diba Eleighn?" Pagbasag ni Kuya sa katahimikan. Napatampal na lamang ako ng noo dahil sa sinabi nya "If it's just about speaking in english, it's such a petty thing to be a reason to make a violation on her school" sambit naman ni kuya Creed. Kaya nga agree ako kay kuya Creed. Creed Haven Montallana. The oldest child of family Montallana. He's mostly the quiet one in our family. Nakakatakot sya kapag nagalit, but there is this side of him na makulit din katulad ni kuya Liam, depende lang sa mood nya kung kailan nya gusto ilabas ang kakulitan niya. "Teka lang, sa totoo lang hindi ko alam kung anong violation ang sinasabi niyong ginawa ko" and with that, bumalik sila sa pagiging tahimik "No way" pagbasag muli ni Kuya Liam sa katahimikan. Tinakpan pa nito ang bibig at nagkunwaring gulat na gulat "Anong no way?" Nagugulumihanan kong tanong "Seryoso hindi mo alam mga pinaggagawa mo?" Tanong ni Kuya Liam, tinignan ko na lamang ito na may pagtataka sa aking mukha Ako na isang good student. Mag bre-break ng rules? Baka rules ng magulang ko okay pa, joke I don't break rules. "Seryoso?" Pag-uulit ni Kuya Liam Kinuha ko yung unan sa tabi ko at aakmang ipapalo sakaniya iyon "Ulit ulit. Ano yan? sirang plaka lang" sabi ko sabay irap Sabay sabay silang tumawa na parang ewan. Nababaliw na sila. Pamilya ko ba talaga to? "Hay nako kung nakita mo lang talaga yung mukha mo matatawa ka nalang" sabi ni Kuya Liam na ikina-noot ng aking noo "Para kayong ewan" sabi ko at balak na sanang tumayo sa sofa at bumalik sa kwarto ko, nang hilain ako ni Kuya Creed. Kaya no choice, papanoorin ko kung paano mabaliw pamilya ko "It's a prank hahahaha, wala ka naman talagang ginawang kababalaghan sa school nyo" sabi ni Kuya Creed Sabi ko sainyo nasisiraan na ng ulo pamilya ko. "Kung ganon, ano ba talaga ang rason? Bakit nyo ako pinatawag?" Seryoso kong tanong na maging dahilan din ng paseseryoso nila "Kailangan mong umuwi ng Pilipinas" seryosong sabi ni dad, walang halong biro, seryoso na sila ngayon "Bakit?" Sabi ko na may pagtataka "Well... Our favorite lola want to see her beautiful granddaughter" pang-aasar ni Kuya Liam habang... Baliktad ata utak nito, nakaupo sya sa sofa, pero baliktad? Yung ulo nya malapit ng madikitan ang sahig habang ang mga paa nito ay nasa sandalan ng sofa. Hys basta hirap iexplain. "Lola? Si Mama Fey?" Sabi ko "Yep, dapat nga si Kuya Creed ang uuwi ng pinas eh" nasimangot na sabi ni Kuya Liam "Alam mo naman na, I'm old enough to take over the company right? Anytime soon pwede ko ng tulungan sina mom at dad sa pag-aasikaso ng company" seryosong sabi ni Kuya Creed "O bakit hindi nyo sinabi kay lola yan?" Sabi ko "Sinabi namin, kaso ang sabi niya kung ayaw ni Creed kahit isa nalang daw sa apo nya" sabi ni dad habang minamasahe ang sentido nito Halatang naiistress na si dad. Alam ko rin naman kasi na ayaw niyang may nahihiwalay sa pamilya. Kaya ang paglisan ng isa saamin at isang malaking problema para sakanya "Eh si kuya Liam?" Tanong ko sabay tingin kay kuya Liam na maaayos na ang pagkakaupo Nang lumapag ang mata ko sakanya ay bigla nalang siyang umiling ng mabilis "nope, na ah,hindi ako pwedeng pinas bro nakapagpasa na ako, inaalam nalang kung pasok ba ako o hindi" mabilis niyang sabi Si kuya Creed ayaw umuwi kasi malapit na rin kasi siyang grumaduate. Si kuya Liam naman ay ayaw umuwi ng pinas dahil daw nakapagpasa na daw siya ng kaniyang mga requirements para sa college na papasukan nito. So, ako ang natira. Pwede bang umayaw? Ayoko kasi mahiwalay din kina mom. Pero parang gusto ko din kasing umuwi ng pinas dahil makikita ko na muli sila. "Fine, ako nalang ang uuwi ng pinas" sambit ko na ikinagulat nila mama, papa at kuya Creed si kuya Liam lang ata ang hindi nagbago ang ekspresyon. "Sabi ko sainyo papayag yan eh" sambit ni kuya Liam sabay tawa Tinignan naman siya ng masama nila kuya Creed, mom at dad. "Sabi ko nga tatahimik na" tanging salita nap lumabas sa bibig ni kuya Liam at tuluyan ng nanahimik "Sure ka ba honey? Pwede naman naming sabihin na walang gustong umuwi ng pinas." Nag-aalalang sabi ni mom "Mom ayos lang po ako, atsaka nakakamiss din kasi si Mama Fey" sambit ko at tanging tango na lamang ang nagawa nila Tinawag na ni dad ang mga maids namin upang utusan na uyusin ang mga dadalhin ko pauwi ng pinas. ◦•●◉✿ 𝐸𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑙𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘✿◉●•◦ Kaya andito ako ngayon nakatayo sa kwarto hinihanda ng aking lola para saakin. Author's note: Hanggang dyan muna, pagpasensyahan nyo na kung mayroon mga wrong grammar sa english ko. Yung lang anyways see you in the next chapter bye 🙃.
