Celestine's POV.
"Fire her, we can send her home," my dad said.
"No dad, I do not think that is a good idea," sagot ko at gulat nila akong tiningnan.
Nasa opisina ko sila ngayon, pauwi na sana sila and they decided to drop by and check my hospital, sakto namang naabutan nilang pinapahiya ako ni Trina. I could've handled it myself pero my mom was so mad.
"Pagkatapos ka nyang pahiyain?" Mom stood up. "The audacity to call me tita!"
"Mom, Trina is a good OB-Gyne. I won't hire her if she is not good, she needs this job too and I would enjoy pissing her in my stay here."
"How long do you plan to stay here?" my dad asked.
"May mga ospital ka pa sa pinas at sa ibang bansa, you focus here so much."
"Uuwi rin ako dad."
My parents looked at me na para bang binabasa nila ang nasa utak ko.
Halos isang oras pa na pilitan ang ginawa ko para mapauwi na sila, nadaanan pa ni mom si Trina at ang mga kaibigan niya, they couldn't even look at us pero halos lumagpas sa second floor ang taas ng kilay ng nanay ko.
Honestly my mom is nice, as in sobrang bait nito, pero when it comes to dad or anybody sa family, she turns into a tigress, not even a Thunder Montenegro can handle.
Papalabas na kami at ihahatid ko na sana sila sa kotse nila ng...
"Bubby."
Mabilis na huminto ako sa lakad, causing my parents to stop walking too. They looked at me with confusion, at pakiramdam ko ay lalabas ang puso ko dahil sa kaba, it felt like my teacher caught me cheating in an international examination.
"Are you alright, Celestine?" my dad asked me.
Instead of answering him ay hinarap ko na ang papalapit na si Stephen.
"Hey." I tried to smile at him at kusang nawala ang kaba ko dahil my sweet boyfriend smiled back at me. "I thought busy ka sa camp ngayon?" I asked him, I can see in my peripheral view my mom's confused face at halos lumabas naman ang ugat sa leeg ni daddy trying to contain whatever is in his mind.
Tila napansin na rin ni Stephen ang mga magulang ko, he smiled politely pero tila naguguluhan ito.
"Sorry, it looks like you're in the middle of something, I'll just text you later—"
"No, it is okay," mabilis kong sabi, hinarap ko ang parents ko. "Mommy, Daddy, si Stephen po pala, boyfriend ko." Tila pare-parehas silang nagulat.
My mom's face went from being shocked to a teasing smirk.
"Hi ma'am, sir." Lumapit si Stephen to shake my parent's hands. "I am Captain Stephen Connor."
"Akira, you can call me mom—"
"Love!" My dad send in a warning tone, he shook Stephen's hand. "Thunder Montenegro, Chairman of Montenegro Corp, Celestine's father."
While shaking my father's hands, Stephen looked at me with a very confused look, probably wondering why I never told him that I am a Montenegro. I just gave him a sly smile.
He wanna be with me, right? Then welcome to my world, bubba.
"Bring him along, I hope you are not busy to join us, we are about to go back to the Philippines, join us for lunch."
"Of course sir."
"Daddy, you're scaring him," I told my dad before pouting.
"Darling, I do not need to scare this young man, if he is on the right mind, he will not dare cause anything to hurt you, cause I'll turn this world upside down just to punish him- now anak, 'yon ang pananakot, it is just up to Stephen to know if I am serious or not." My dad said before winking on me.
