Million Dollar Marriage

twenty six

We are now gathered in our living room. Ang mga bata ay ipinataas na sa movie room. Sina Dad at Tita ay sumunod kanila Lola sa study room nang ipatawag ang mga ito ni Lola, even our househelps are somewhat tensed about this topic.

"What happened, Lana?" Fabian asked.

I sighed loudly, "I just know that when Asia and Yaron were still together last month, she saw that Vanice was in fact, hitting on Yaron through texts and she's even visiting him at his workplace. And eventually, she broke up with him. That's all I know..."

"Deserve..." Komento ni Nathalia habang umiirap. She then pinched Talitha who's looking extremely pissed right now. Well, considering the beef between her and her issues with Tita Paris.

Pagak na tumawa si Talitha, "Of course! Ano ba ang ie-expect natin saka-"

"Don't stoop that low," I hissed at Talitha.

Though I know that we are all pissed at what Venice did, I wouldn't like them to go as far as that.

"Why would that asshole allow it in the first place?" Orester muttered under his breath.

Habang nagtatalo ang mga ito ay tumunog naman ang phone ko. An international number was calling!

Lumabas ako sa patio para sana tanggapin ang tawag. "Hello..." Nagkunwari pa muna ako na hindi ko alam kung sino ang tumatawag.

Pabebe ka, Milana!

I heard someone coughing on the other line, "Hey, how are you?" His husky voice gave me the idea that he's resting.

"I-I'm fine, you?" Cat got your tongue, Milana? My gosh! His effect on me was so fucking obvious.

"I'm at the hotel, just waiting for the flight back there. How was your first day at the airport? Did my aunt give you a huge load of work?"

Shit! Medyo napatigil ako sa sinabi niya. I even choked on his question, considering his low bedroom voice and the way his sentence got constructed. I admit, I got a little bit carried away.

"N-No!" Napapikit ako bago ko itinuloy ang sasabihin, "I mean, wala ako masyadong ginawa kanina."

He chuckled, medyo napahiya ako dahil halata sa pagtawa niya na alam niya ang naiisip ko kanina, "Come on, Milana, I want to know more about your day. Stop distracting me, baby..."

"What, Yago? I am not doing anything here, masyado kang green!"

"And now it's on me, huh? You started it,"

"Anong ako? Naubo lang ako kanina, then you already got your conclusion. And, nasabi ko na sa'yo na wala masyadong nangyari sa trabaho."

Even his laugh feels too sensual to me, "Okay, okay... Matutulog ka na ba? Am I disturbing you?"

"No, actually I'm here at the mansion. Family dinner kaya dito na ako dumiretso. Then, something came up."

Magsasalita pa sana ulit ako nang magulat ako sa biglaang pagsulpot ni Nathalia sa likuran ko, "What are you doing here at the patio? Is that your new boyfriend?"

"Shut it, Nathalia!" Inilayo ko ang telepono kay Nathalia dahil lumapit pa talaga ito at kumapit pa sa aking balikat upang marinig kung sino ang nasa kabilang linya.

"Why are you hiding it? 'Yan ba 'yung co-model mo?" Pang-aasar nito ng tuluyan.

Natahimik si Yago sa kabilang linya, kaya napagpasiyahan kong patayin nalamang ang tawag. Hindi na ako nakapag paalam pa kay Yago because of Nathalia.
