Can You Be My Fiancee?

Chapter 35: Only Way

Shaina Aragon

“Sorry Sprinkle, ‘di kita mahahatid today, may meeting kasi ako nang gantong oras, pasensya na” sabi niya sa’kin through the phone, “Okay lang, Cupcake! Ingat ka ha” nakangiti ko namang tugon, “Thanks, babe. I love you, ingat ka ha, I’ll miss you” he said and I giggled, diba normally, girls ang ganyan ka-sweet? Hahaha, ang cute kasi ‘pag galing sa kanya.

“I love you too, Cupcake. Mag-ingat ka rin, mami-miss din kita syempre” I said back, “Okay Sprinkle, bye” sabi niya, “Bye” sabi ko naman tapos binaba na niya ang tawag.

My day was already complete due to the call, ang galing talaga ng fiancee/boyfriend ko! I stood up from my bed and walked to the bathroom to take a bath.

Matapos kong maligo ay nagsuot na ako ng magandang damit tapos bumaba na ako para kumain, I was walking downstairs silently when I heard my parents discussing about something.

“Nakuha na niya..” my father said dejectedly, “P’ano na ‘to, Rage? What do we do?” my mom asked in horror.

“H-Hindi ko alam, Sunny, hindi ko alam. But.. don’t tell our princess, please, I don’t want her to worry” mahinang sabi ni dad.

No! I can’t just stand around and do nothing, hindi pwede! I ran downstairs and confronted the both of them, “Anak! K-Kanina ka pa ba dyan?” tanong ni mommy.

“Ma! Please, tell me, ano ‘yun? Ano ang nakuha?” naiiyak kong tanong, “...Princess, please.. don’t make this harder..” my dad whispered.

“Dad... pamilya niyo ako eh.. kaya ko namang tumulong if you’d just tell me the problem” I said.

My dad sighed in defeat, “What is up with the control of you women on me, huh?” he asked smirking, “Princess, the Madrigals have taken our main company, in other words, I lost my ability as President” sabi ni papa.

“Our other companies?” tanong ko naman, “...He took most of them already, I’m sorry.. I tried what I could..” mahinang sabi ni papa. My dad is one of the best businessmen, isa siya sa pinaka magaling, and it hurts me to see him like this, like he didn’t know what to do.

I walked towards my dad and hugged him tight, “Don’t worry dad, everything will be alright.. I promise” sabi ko, my father’s shoulders were shaking, he felt so fragile to me, I felt my mother stepped closer to us and enveloped us in her warm hug.

“We’ll be together on this, I promise.. poprotektahan ko kayong lahat..” sabi ko, kumalas naman ako mula sa pagkakayakap sa kanila.

“Papasok na po ako” nakangiti kong sabi, no time to be weak, kailangan kong maging matatag.. kung ganito ang nangyayari, ibig sabihin.. kaya naging busy si Nash ay dahil pinupuntirya na rin sila ni Seven.

Hinatid ako ng family driver namin papuntang university, pagkababa ko ay hinintay kong makalayo ang sasakyan bago ako pumara ng taxi at pumunta ako sa kumpanya namin na ngayon ay nakuha na ni Seven.

“Ma’am Shaina!” bungad sa’kin ng guard, nginitian ko siya, “Hello po” sabi ko naman, “’Andyan po ba ang boss niyo?” tanong ko.

“Ay, kung hinahanap niyo po ang daddy niyo—” hindi ko na siya pinatapos, “Hindi po, hinahanap ko po si Seven Madrigal” sabi ko, nagulat man ay sinabi niya sa’kin na nandito si Seven, sa office niya.

Office niya? Okay. Pumasok ako sa loob ng building at sumakay ng elevator at pinindot ko ang floor 52 kung saan naroroon ang office niya, it always had a password though, at alam ko ang password.

“Shainshine” I said, “Password incorrect” the machine replied, dang, binago niya ang password? Animal talaga!

Ano ba ang pwede niyang gawing password? Takte naman eh, this thing only responses to a registered voice kaya.. siguro hindi na ako makakapunta sa office niya. Ang elevator lang kasi ang may direktang access papunta doon.. p’ano na ‘to?
