Married At The Bar

CHAPTER 2

KYSLER'S POV

I woke up when someone kicked my bed repeatedly.

"Wake up as$h*le, Grandpa wants to see us."

"Get out foccer. Leave my room." I threw a pillow to my cousinival, Lucas.

"as$h*le it's 11 a.m. He wants us to be in the library. Get up or else I'll be the heir."

The word heir made me get up. Then I saw Lucas smirking at me.

"Get out you piece of sht." I threw a pillow again to him pero inilagan nya lang ito.

"Better luck next time beating me. Do better tsk." tumalikod na ito paalis then slammed the door before going out.

Bumangon na rin ako at pumunta agad ng library kahit nakapantulog pa. As long as Grandpa said he wants to see us, you should follow right away.

I opened the library door at nandun na si Grandpa, Gramma, Family ni Lucas at parents ko.

"Good morning everyone." I greeted them all.

"What are you wearing Kysler?!" Galit na sabi ni Mama while examining me from head to toe.

"I just woke up." I said then sat in the chair between my parents. Kaharap ko si Lucas ngayon at nginisihan ko lang ito.

Natahimik ang room biglang magsalita ang family lawyer namin.

"Because of Rivera's Family Tradition, the first one to be married this month will be the heir of Monteverde's family wealth." Atty. Hope said.

My family is weird. Get married just to be the heir? Who would do such horrible thing? It's stupid.

"I will arrange my wedding soon Grandpa. Don't worry about it because me and my girlfriend are already planning to be married this year." Lucas proudly said. Ofcourse that foccer has a girlfriend. He's a freaking womanizer changing women everytime.

"As if foccer. I am born to be the heir. I'll get married before you." I smirked at him.

Tumayo na ako sa upuan ko at lumabas. They called my name pero hindi ko sila pinansin. I hate when my family gathered together.

My parents were annulled, kaya lang siguro sila nagsama ngayon sa iisang lugar dahil utos ni Grandpa. They broke up when I was 6 because my mother left us for another man. My father became depressed and alcoholic. That is why at the young age ay expose na ako sa business world dahil palagi akong sinasama ng Grandpa ko. I am Lolo and Lola's boy.

Lucas' father is Dad's sibling. They lived in Europe pero nakauwi lang siguro sila dahil pinapatawag ni Grandpa.

Ipaglalaban kong maging tagapag-mana. If it falls into their hands, Grandpa's hardwork will be turn to ashes.

Lucas' parents were addicted to gambling. Baon na sila sa utang. Lucas is also a gambler. Casino is like his home.

So I will never ever agree that he will be the heir.

The question is where will I get a fvcking wife? It is not like picking fruits from a tree you know. I do not want to have a romantic relationship with someone. I can't just fake a marriage certificate, Grandpa will surely notice.

If I just believed the concept of love, it would be easy.

Pumasok nalang ako sa kwarto ko at naghanda para pumasok sa opisina.

•

"Good morning Mr. Rivera. Here is your breakfast sir." bungad sakin ng secretary ko pagpasok ko sa office. May dala itong cappuccino at donut.

"Put it in the table Maya. And speak all my appointments for today." Umupo ako sa swivel chair at nagbasa ng mga files na nasa table.

Sinabi lahat ni Maya ang schedule ko while I took a bite in the donut. After I tasted it, I signaled her to stop talking.

"This is not from Starbucks." Sabi ko kay Maya. I saw nervousness flashes in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry sir. Nalate po kasi ako kaya hindi na po ako nakapunta sa Starbucks. Doon na lang po ako bumili sa malapit na store sa amin. Sorry po talaga. Wag niyo po sana akong i-fire Sir. Pasensya po talaga." Napaluhod ito at maluha luha na. I stared at her then smiled.

"This is much better than Starbucks. Starting now, you will buy my foods there. And I'll raise your salary for that." Gulat itong tumingin sa akin at napakurap-kurap.

"Ano po sir?"

"I don't like speaking again Maya. Go to your work now."

Tumawa ang secretary ko at tumayo. Nagpasalamat ito ng husto then bow before leaving.

I continued eating. This is the best donut I have ever tasted. It feels like when you take a bite, it can take away all your pains. Ramdam mo ang passion ng taong gumawa nito.

I did not noticed that I finished two donuts and the coffee. Usually I could finished just half of a donut but now I finished two.

Nagbasa nalang ulit ako ng mga files ng biglang may nagmessage sa phone ko.

From: Atty. Makagago

Bro, Toffer's Bar later.

To: Atty. Makagago

Yeah I'll be there.

Maybe liquor could help me solve my problem about this wedding thing.
