Being Mrs. Monteverde

Chapter 18

Klave's POV

"Kate!" Sigaw ko ng mabitawan ko sya.

"Teka telas iwan" Sabi nya sabay takbo papunta sa tsenelas nya. I pout. Mamita said that I look cute when I pout that's why I often do that to look cute. And minsan din that's my reaction because sometimes I don't understand what Kate is saying. I try my best to understand her para di sya mainis. I wonder maybe nagmana sya sa tatay namin maybe our father is bobo too like Kate. Because she's not that smart like me and Kuya Klero. Good thing na she somehow look like Nanay kaya she look so adorable. I nodded at my own thought. Tama. Hehe i'm really smart.

"Kuya sira na telas" She said with teary eyes.

Tsk. She's so iyakin din that's why I don't want her to be away of my sight because she's a crybaby and lampa. Kuya said pa naman na i must protect Kate because she is our princess and because I am so cool, I follow what Kuya told me.

Inayos ko na ang tsenelas nya it's so easy lang naman eh. I am smart so I figured it out.

"Wow Kuya galing! " She said happily sabay palakpak. She is amaze kasi di nya kaya i-figure out yun na in fact it's super lang naman. I shake my head in disbelief. She's hopeless, poor her kay tatay pa kasi sya nagmana. Now I imagine him as an ugly idiotic old man and maybe ginayuma nya si Nanay kaya wala syang picture kasi nahihiya sya. Tsk. Buti nalang si nanay kamukha namin kaya kami gwapo ni Kuya Ciro. Napatango ako. I'm really smart that's why I know.

I see Kate na pilit iniipit sa buhok

nya yung pangipit na bigay ni Kuya Ciro kanina. But because I am awesome, may naisip nanaman ako para maasar si Kate. Agad kong kinuha ang ipit saka tumakbo palayo.

"Kuya akin na! " She shouted.

"Kunin mo" I said in a sing song tone. Agad syang tumakbo palapit sa akin. Tinaas ko naman kamay ko. Hayy. Did I mention na kinulang din sya sa height? Poor Kate i think na na mana nya rin yan sa tatay namin.

Tumakbo ulit ako at humabol din sya. Pagharap ko ay nakaupo na si Kate at may isa pang bata na ganon din nagkabungguaan ata sila. Tumayo si Kate at nilahad nya kamay nya sa isa pang bata.

"Ewww. Look at my dress it's messy. Daddy!" Maarteng sabi nung bata di man lang tinignan ang kamay ni Kate. I frown she's maarte din like Chelsae the bungi. I hate stagy girls, good thing that Kate isn't like them that's why I love her. But di ko nalang pinapansin sabi kasi ni Kuya cool men don't hurt girls, they must be protected and respected no matter how bad their attitude. Kasi if we hurt them daw our nanay will be sad and cry. I don't want to see Nanay cry that's why mabait ako. I'm really cool.

Tumakbo na ako palapit sa kanila. And I saw a huge giant guy na lumapit sa babaeng maarte.

"Kate are you okay? " I said while inspecting her. I don't want to disappoint Nanay. Nanay trust Kate in my watch. Tumango lang si Kate.

"Hey. Stagy girl watch your step look at what you did to my sister" I said seriously. She look like a foreigner at maputi din sya. Lahat kasi ng bata dito maiitim kami lang maputi kaya napagkakamalan kaming anak mayaman. Psh. Nanay is just beautiful. If you're wondering why I know how to speak English it's because of my Kuya he always talk to me and Kate in english. It looks cool daw when a man can speak english.

"Stagy? I'm not stagy you peasant! " Sigaw na sa akin she look like a gorilla because of her nose were moving up and down. I want to laugh but I restrained myself not to.

"Nyenye tara na nga Kate" Inis kong sabi at hinawakan na ang kamay ni Kate at hinila. I saw the huge giant guy na nakatitig saakin at kay Kate. Well maybe he was mesmerized how cute we are unlike her daughter.

"Teka Kuya magtutuli ako. Ako din may kasalanan" Mahinang sabi nya. Napakunot noo naman ako. Kate is really kind and I cannot hate her because Nanay is like her too. I sigh minsan it's hard to be Kate's Kuya.

"Tuli po and tuli din if my Kuya is bad" Sabi ni Kate. Tinaasan lang sya ng kilay ng bata.

"Tara nag sorry ka na. Hmp" Inis kong sabi at hinila na sya.

"Wait" The huge giant guy said. That's why we stopped. "In behalf of my daughter I apologize too" He said. Mabait pala sya unlike his daughter.

"Dad! "Reklamo ng batang babae. Hmp. Kala mo naman maganda.

"Kathlaine" Warning tone naman na sabi nung huge giant guy na ikinatahimik ng batang babae. Ha! Serves her right.

"Do you want hotdog? There's a food stall there. It's on me" He said with a smile on his face. I saw how Kate face light up. I rolled my eyes uto uto talaga.

"Thanks but no thanks. We don't talk to strangers" I leer at him. And started walking while holding Kate's hand. We stop again nang magsalita yung huge giant guy.

"Wait. I'm sorry my bad, by the way I'm Kanvin Monteverde and this is my daughter Kathlaine" He said with a beam. Ngumiti naman si Kate sa kanya.

"Kayt Cala po, tiya naman ti Kleb Tilo" Nakangiting sabi niya. Psh.

"It's Klave. V"

"Kleb" She said. I sigh she's really hopeless. I prefer her calling me Kuya because she can't pronounce my name correctly, I love my name it's cool and it suits me because I'm cool but she's murdering it. I heard the huge guy chuckled.

"Kuya tama tayo please. We know him na naman eh" Pagmamakaawa nya.

"Tsk. Okay" I said. I saw the huge guy smiled happily.

"Come here baby doll hold my hand" He said while lending his right arm to Kate and his left arm he's holding his daughter. Agad namang hinawakan ni Kate ang kamay nya.
