Chapter 04
ZIHYUN
"Thank you for your help, Zihyun." Auntie Andrea said while we're inside the van. It's time for me to go home.
"Don't mention it, Tita." I said.
"Kahit yung pinsan mong si Tyler ay napaka tigas ng ulo simula nang tumungtong sa legal age n'ya, parang hayop na nakawala sa hawla. Mabuti na lang at naaalagaan iyon ng Ate Andra at Ate Tamara n'ya. Parang kailan lang ay si Zhaffiro pa lang ang pinoproblema ng pamilya." Napailing pa si Tita pero may ngiti sa mga labi.
"I'm also like that when I turned eighteen, Tita." Natatawang ani ko.
"Yeah, kayong magpipinsan kapag nagsama-sama, napaka-ingay. Pero 'yun sila Arielle at Janine hindi makagalaw tuwing malapit ka e'." Tito Terron said that made me chuckle along with my Aunt.
Tito Terron's phone suddenly rang that made us stop.
from chuckling.
"Nasaan ka?Why what happened? Oh, again? Yeah, I know. I'll call Kalvin." That's what I heard and Tito Terron call someone again.
"Kalvin, yeah, Arielle's grounded for two weeks, can you guard her? Yeah, thanks, and tell your Dad to call me." And he ended their call.
"What about Arielle, hon?" Tita Andrea asked Tito.
I got curious about what happened to my cousin too, but, I think I knew what happened already.
"She's grounded again for two weeks."
Arielle is Tita Astrielle and Tito Zedrix's daughter and she's grounded whenever she shops for nonsense things.
The van stopped when we finally arrived on the airport.
"Take care, Zihyun!" Tita Andrea said while waving at me. Tito did the same.
I waved back before I walked to the airport. The flight attendant assisted me to go to the plane.
"This way, sir,"
I sat comfortably on the seat. She offered me a glass of wine but I refused and asked for a glass of water instead.
I decided to sleep when the plane took off.
DIANARA
"Aalis ka, Ate?" Nalaglag ang panga ni Trisha nang itanong n'ya iyon sa akin at makita akong nag-iimpake.
"May kailangan akong ayusin sa Maynila, Trisha. Tinawagan ako nung dati kong boss sa flower shop-"
"-tungkol ba talaga doon, Ate? O', baka naman gusto mo na talaga kaming iwan at sumama roon sa pamilyang 'yon?" Asik ni Felicia na nasa silid na rin pala.
"Babalik ako agad. May kailangan lang akong ayusin—"
"—Ate, kilala kita, kapag may bagay kang hindi alam pipilitin mong alamin 'yon, natatakot lang naman akong iwan mo kami at sumama kay Kuya Rafael." Pabulong na sabi nya.
"Tama nga ako?" Pagak akong natawa pero pinilit ko pa ring kumalma. "Kilala mo ang mga 'yon, kailan mo balak sabihin sa 'kin Felicia? Ayoko rin na iwan kayo pero kailangan kong magpakita sa Boss ko lalo na at may gusto s'yang pabor sa 'kin para hindi na ako kasuhan o mag bayad para sa kontrata." Paliwanag ko.
