Kabanata 8
Just two souls who made their world in chaos
Little do they know it has a cost
"Hey what's up bro, andito ka na pala" Bati ni Seb kay Alejandro nang nakapasok na kami sa hapag-kainan. Akala mo close eh..
"Sebastian! Mas matanda sayo si Alejandro, Kuya ang itawag mo" Saway ni Lola na kakarating lang din galing sa kusina ata.
"Oh, so Hera should call him Kuya too" Singit ni Chiara sabay kindat niya sa akin.
"Magtigil ka, except for her of course" Lola answered while Chiara faked a shock look. Sinamaan lang siya ng tingin ni Lola.
"Its okay Lola, I'm used to first name basis" Alejandro said.
Kailan pa siya nag Lola kay Lola Anggay?
"Astig" Seb murmured which earned a glare from Lola then smiled lovingly to Alejandro.
When everyone started to arrived, we all takes our seats when Lola made an adjustment, nakaupo ako dapat sa tabi niye pero si Alejandro ang pinaupo niya doon bago ako. I just secretly rolled my eyes.
"Is anything wrong, Hera?" Tanung ni Lola
"Wala po Lola, I'm just glad Alejandro is finally here" Giving Alejandro a faked smile which he just smirked in return.
Nagdasal muna kami bago kumain. I'm secretly observing the man beside me, Alejandro while we eat.
"Why are you still in your pajama, Hera?" Tanung ni Seb.
Epal. Parang hindi niya ako kilala ganto naman talaga suot ko kapag wala akong balak lumabas ng mansyon.
I was about to speak when Lola beats me to it "Oo nga naman nakakahiya kay Alejandro, sana nagbihis ka na muna" Great.
"Lola, I have no idea Alejandro will arrive today"
If only I knew I would have saved myself from humiliation awhile ago, of all people.
"Wala ba?" inosenteng sabi ni Lola. "Anyway, it's a good start of getting to know each other, after all that's the purpose of his vacation here but of course for him to relax as well" I doubt that.
So that's Lola's intention kung bakit hindi niya sinabi sa akin ang dating ni Alejandro so he can see me off guard.
"Yes Lola, makakaasa po kayo" Alejandro politely said sabay bigay din sa akin ng pekeng ngiti din and of course, I just smirked back at him also.
Alejandro scanned the whole dining, yung iba kasi maingay, kanya kanya ng diskusyon at meron pa tong si Sloane na nilipat ang kanin kay Laurent dahilan ng dagdag ng ingay.
"Mga apo huwag masyadong maingay! Sloane stop doing that and you Serena bakit kunti lang kinakain mo huwag mong idahilan nagdidiet ka naman ang bata bata mo pa" Lola signal her butler to add some food to Serena's plate.
"I hope you don't mind this, ganito talaga sila magugulo" Lola said to Alejandro.
"No, its alright. Actually, I find it amusing, all of you in one table, I never had that experience before. Its always been just me and my abuella"
Lola held his hand "I'm glad but I'm afraid you have to be more patient now that you're here, they are quite a handful kahit ang mga nakakatanda sa kanila" Lola look at me then Seb to Chiara to Lucien na tahimik lang naman pero nadamay din.
After namin magkainan ako ang inatasan ni Lola na ihatid si Alejandro sa kwarto niya which just has two doors distance from mine. Usually the room of guests are on the other side but of course this is Alejandro we're talking about, the apple of the eye of my Lola right now and the man that she badly wanted for her eldest grandchild, me.
