ESEL took a deep breath, inihatid niya si Shawn sa bahay nito pero hindi siya nagtangka na pumasok. He's not yet ready to meet her parents, he needs to inform his parents first before that.
"Hi son!" His Mom waved her hand. Lumapit siya rito at hinalikan siya sa pisngi habang nag mano naman siya sa Daddy niya.
"You look stressed." pansin ng Daddy niya. He smiled and shake his head. Kanina stress siya, pero ngayon... hindi na.
Pinigilan niya ang kasambahay nila na maglagay ng kanin sa pinggan niya. "Ako na, I can do it." he said and smiled.
"Son, aalis nga pala kami ng Daddy mo sa makalawa. We're going to check some of our hotel's abroad." Esel nod his head to his mother.
"Esel, no funny business." banta ng daddy niya. Esel sipped his wine as he looked at his Parents.
"Mom, Dad?" tawag niya sa magulang niya. Sabay na tumingin sakanya ang dalawa, binitawan ng Daddy niya ang hawak na kubyertos at pinagsiklop ang mga kamay sa lamesa. While his mother continue to chew her food.
"What? Don't tell us may kalokohan ka na namang ginawa?" mahinahon na tanong ng Daddy niya.
"Well..." he shrugged.
"Hindi ka naman makukulong diba? Esel, we're tired cleaning your record, uhaw pa naman ang mga naging kaklase mo noon na mabigyan ka ng record!" his mother hissed.
Esel sighed when he remember the dumbass prosecutor who kept on investigating him. Wala naman itong mapapala sa kanya.
"Mom, I'm not going to jail. No worries." he assured her.
"Then what is it?" his Father lost his cool and now glaring at him.
"First, naka buntis ako." he cooly said. Nabitawan ng Mommy niya ang hawak na kubyertos habang ang Daddy naman niya ay nanatiling tahimik at minamasahe ang batok.
"Sino... Sino ang nabuntis mo? Please tell me maayos ang nabuntis mong babae... You know I hate the woman you bedded!" mangiyak iyak na sigaw ng Mommy niya sakanya.
"She's a lawyer. Both of her parents lawyers, her brother too is a lawyer. Family of Lawyers in short." nakahinga ng maluwag ang nanay niya sa narinig even his Father. The relief on their face was so evident.
"Second, I'm married. Nagpunta siya kanina sa office ko dala ang marriage contract." he gave his parents a deadpan look. Masyadong sigurista ang babaeng 'yon, kahit hindi niya pirmahan agad ang kontrata. Nasisigurado niya na pipilitin parin siya nito na pirmahan ang marriage contract.
"I like her! Sigurista. Kasal naman na pala kayo, bakit hindi mo pa inuwi dito?!" sigaw ng mommy niya sakanya.
"We're going to live at my penthouse. Don't worry, makikilala niyo naman siya." he said and continue eating.
Hindi na niya pinansin ang mga magulang niya na dinaig pa ang reporter sa sobrang dami ng tanong. Hindi pa nila nakikita si Shawn pero gustong gusto na siya ng mga magulang niya.
SHAWN yawned and stretch her arms. Halos kakagising palang niya pero inaantok na naman ulit siya. Her parents was looking at her, more like watching her.
"I think, you need to rest." napatingin siya sa Daddy niya na nakatingin sakanya.
"About your work, babawasan namin ang kaso na hawak mo and we will only give you the less stressful case okay? Buntis ka na, Sam. Hindi na pwede ang sobrang stress, maaapektuhan ang baby." she blink numerous times before she nod her head.
