Pakanta-kanta ako ng pababa ng hagdan.
Ang epic kase ni Hellios, wala daw ako effect sa kanya but my god his friend is awaked.
Naiiling nalang ako sa kayabangan niya ts.
"Seems like, your in good mood hija" napahawak ako sa dibdib ko dahil sa gulat.
"You scared me mom" I unconsciously said oh god,
"haha muka nga sister in law. What my brother do to you!?" usisa niya pa ng makaupo ako hindi ko naman maiwasan irapan siya dahil iniwan niya ako.
"why? What happen? Did he hurt you hija?" sunod-sunod na tanung ni mom sakin kaya lalo ako napangiti.
"Nah ah mom," I joyful said.
"really? He didn't do anything to you nor scold you?" mabilis ako umiling sa kanya.
Nakaawang na bibig ni Daphne.
"Mom! Dad we found a match girl for my brother" hysterical na sigaw ni daphne kaya napa takip agad ako sa tenga ko geez, this little brat!
"what do you mean?" dad asked.
"I betrayed my brother then, nahuli niya kami so tapos, tapos he didn't do anything to her oh my god we found her" she exaggerate said.
Napangisi nalang ako, kung alam mo lang baka mag lumpasay ka kakatawa.
Then, I saw hellios walking towards the table expressionless. It was obvious that he had just taken a shower, dahil sa mabangong amoy na humahalimuyak sa kanya.
Dad cleared his throat at pare-pareho kami nag seryoso.
"let's eat" dad firmly said.
Tahimik kaming nagsimula ng kumain not until mom broke tge silence.
"Hija, eat a lots I know its a long day for you" mom.
Sympre ang lolo niyong hellios eepal,
"Ano naman nakakapagod sa trabaho niya? She just picked the perfect furniture to suits in the house" he snorted.
Ts, epal to! Ano ba akala niya yon lang ginagawa ko anak ng kagawang tong lalaki to.
Dad raised his eyebrows and questioning hellios.
"Sa tingin mo madali maging interior designer huh? Hind mo alam if you have been a interior designer"
Oww, i felt touched grabe! Feeling ko ako talaga ang anak tapos si Hellios ang sampid dito HAHA. Just kidding,
Napabungis-ngis naman si daphne.
Hellios threw a sharp glare to daphne, kaya tumikhim ang dalaga at pinigilan matawa.
Weak si mareng daphne takot sa demonyo nyang kapatid.
"ignore what he said. He's just selos the way we treat you" Mom said and Eyed hellios warningly.
Ngumiti nalang ako ng tipid drink my water.
"Mom, we are going to visit my family this weekend" I announced seriously.
"both of you?" she unbelievably asked.
"Yes, both of us" natatawang sagot ko kase naman tatlo sila nakatingin samin hindi ba kapa-kapaniwala ang sinabe ko?
"Oh god, did i heard right? My brother, your going with Fime to visit her family?" daphne squealed.
At hindi na pinansin ang matalim na mata ni Hellios sa sobrang excitement niya.
Hellios keep quiet so means 'yes' kaya masayang tinapos namin ang hapunan namin.
'See you my stepmom' i said in my mind.
After dinner I went straight to room and won't bother hellios busy typing on his laptop i bet his work.
Pero bago ko pihitin ang doorknob ng secret room ko.
-Tok! tok
Kaya mabilis akong umupo sa couch at dumampot ng magazine sakto naman na pag bukas ng pintuan
"why is it mom?" hellios asked and continued his doing ako naman binaba ko ang magazine.
"have a seat mom" I offer.
And she sit beside me.
I was so captivated and amused written all over my faces ng ilabas ni mom ang isang necklace, nag uumapaw sa kagandahan at katanyagan ang necklace. Simple yet elegant.
"This is heirlom of our family. Pinasa sakin ito ng mother in laws ko ngayon pinapasa ko na ito sayo" I was stunned.
I don't know what would speak too,
Kung tatanggihan ko ba or tatanggapin but the way Hellios stared me, his eyes telling me 'not'.
"mom, grandma gave that you and also a heirlom of Larckstone family but how could you simply pass it to someone else." Hellios argue.
Oh this man! Someone else? Really, asawa kaya niya ako! Sapakin ko to eh.
"Hindi siya kung sino lang Hellios! She's my daughter in laws and your wife!" mom answered him indignantly.
Napayoko naman ako seriously magtatalo talaga sila dahil lang sa heirlom pwese ko namam kase tanggihan nalang maayos si mom hindi yong nakiki epal pa tong demonyo kong asawa eh.
" I had more than one wife, Why she is the only one getting it?" He continued question.
Oh, kaya pala umaalma pero bakit nga ba sakin binibigay?
"because I'm confident that she'll be the last" mom replied.
Nanlalaki ang aking mata sa sinabe ni Mom. Ow how did she know, chour! Being his last wife is not my intention after ginawa ko lang yon to caught his attention.
Daring him, is his weakness.
Hellios, didn't spoke but like earlier he throwing his dangerous glare.
Kung ako lang hindi na nya kailangan pa tignan ng ganyan dahil wala naman ako plano tanggapin eh.
"Thank you mom but I can't accept this necklace" i declined politely.
Let me clear the things, hindi ko tinanggap dahil na tatakot ako kay hellios kundi This necklace is too precious and beside kahit devil bloods running my body i have angel's conscience.
"Why not?" she said her face fell to disappointment.
"Bago palang ako sa Family na ito and I am worthy just for it yet. Mom, pwede itabi mo muna and then give it to me back when the right time comes." I clearly and respectful explained to her.
Simply ko tinignan ang gawi ni Hellios nakita ko pag aliwalas ng muka niya.
Mom glanced her son.
" If you can't stand a marriage and yet decided to leave. I won't blame you. Nasa sayo na yon" she conclude and firmness said.
I was shocked when mom insisted to put the necklace to me.
Gusto tanggihan ulit si mom but I'm afraid na baka masaktan ko siya kaya I remained quiet and letting her. I know mom real intention is, she want me to stayed in Larckstone Family forever.
Wala na masyado sinabe si Mom at tahimik siya lumabas ng room na may matamis na ngiti sa labi.
As I expected, hellios start to roar like the hungry wild animals.
"hand it to me" at saka nilahad ang kamay niya.
But I smirk.
"What?" I play dumb but hellios born was impatient man.
He snatched up my wrist.
"ikaw mag tatanggal or ako ang gagawa para sayo" he forcefully saying,
"This one is given by mom" I defended.
"Mukang gusto mo nga ako ang mag tanggal sayo"
When he was to took off the necklace.
"Sige pilitin mo, I will tell to your whole family that you lost bet" I threatening him.
But Did i made wrong move dahil lalo pa siya nagalit para siyang leon na lalapain nako, well willing naman ako hahaha lol no thanks!
"How dare you threaten me"
"You forced me" I retorted.
Ano tingin nya sakin takot ako sa kanya Well! That's a freaking no way!
Well, with a quick twist Hellios was pinning me on the wal and his eyes burning into fire.
"looks like I made the wrong decision from beginning"
I harshly laughs.
"Well,Sorry not sorry you picked a well-matched from the start my husband" i teasing him.
This man is crazy cause he laughs, without humor ts.
But he stop and massaging his nape nose release heavy breath.
"Fine, kung ayaw mo talaga wag ko hubarin but don't regret this weekend" he threatened me.
I stared him seriously, what the heck!!
"Are you going to break our deal?"
"No, i will go with you but don't expected about my behavior and beside hindi naman kasama sa kasunduan natin yon" hellios said.
So smart this man, he find easily the way damn!
I sighed,
"mag be-behave ka kung ibabalik ko sayo to?" i lower my voice.
"i might consider" he smirked.
Oh god, this man! Gusto ko na siya sapakin sa totoo lang talaga.
Labag sa loob na hinubad ko ang kwintas ngunit bago ko i abot kosa kanya.
"Remember, You must give me a good performance" i said.
He took out to me,
"How so?"
"just put on a loving image on us. That will do"
Hellios sarcastically smiled.
"how shameless it is to ask me to fake my love for you when the truth is I feel nothing at all."
I did not really care how sarcastic he is.
As long as gagawin niya ang kasundaan okey na ako doon.
Matapos ang sagutan na naganap samin ni hellios pumanhik nako sa room ko at muling sinimulan ang mga unfinish ko sa work ko dahil nga sa biglaan absennt ko dagdag pa na madami pa akong client.
Buti nalang dinala ni Manong ang kotse para hindi ako mahirapan mag taxi dahil masyado mahirap makakuha ng taxi sa Lackstone Subd.
11:35 PM s**t, it almost midnight kaya niligpit ko ang gamit ko saka kumuha ng sleepwear ko saka dahan dahan ko binuksan ang secret door para makapag linis ng katawan.
Well, hindi naman kase pinalagyan ng restroom ang secret room para hindi ako nakikigamit pa ng Restroom niya.
I was about to open the door.
"What do you think your doing" I gulped.
Slowly turned my head.
I saw Hellios together his glared.
I sighed.
"Obviously, Mag c-cr ako" I prankly said.
Umarko ang kanyang kilay s**t this man, unti nalang iisipin kong bakla to.
"Use the guest room restroom. Sa tabi ng room ko" he hissed.
My jaw drop little.
"Using guest room restroom the eff?" hindi ko maiwasan maging maldita at tinarayan siya.
"Don't repeating myself." he laziness said.
Damn this man! This f*****g wierdo.
"kung sa guestroom lang din naman ako makiki Cr bakit hindi nalang ako lumipat sa guestroom diba?" I raised my eyes browed.
Lalo naman naging matalim ang tingin niya sakin pero pake ko sa tingin niya lalo na ngayon antok na antok nako papalipatin pa niya ako sa guestroom kingna nya bente.
"Don't try my patience" he uttered.
"Don't try my patiece your ass jerk" i murmered
At lumakad papunta sa pintuan ako nalang mag aadjust dahil pagod na talaga ako pakiramdam ko na drain ako sa dami kong paperworks.
But I stopped again for the second time
"Where are you going woman" He asked.
Putangers! I took deeply sighed.
"Quit asking jerk! I'm f*****g tired for the christ'sake I'm badly need to rest, I supposed go to the f*****g guestroom to make your mind peace so what the f**k your asking where I am going" wala na sumabog na ako sa inis.
He looked me with amused what the f.
"Fine use the restroom" pag suko niya at bumalik na sa higaan niya but too late
"No thanks" I refused.
At padabog sinara ang pintuan I don't care kung may magising dahil kumukulo dugo ko sa bwisit na asawa kong yon.
Bwisit siya mabaog sana siyang animal siya!
