MOJITO In Another World (COMPLETED)

Part 5

"Ugh. Ano ba yan ang laki ng palasyong to, walang kwenta naman ang mga tao geez. Mayaman nga sila but too bad no one in this world ever came up with the idea of making elevator and escalator." Reklamo ko habang padabog na naglalakad papuntang Finance Office ng palasyong ito.

Ang layo putcha! anak ng tinolang walang sabaw! Kaya ba mga mukhang physically fit at magaganda ang hubog ng katawan ng mga tao dito dahil sa lalakarin palang sa loob ng palasyo ubos na calories mo sa katawan tapos libre exercise narin? Argh!

Dagdag pa sa stress ang mga maid na pinagtanungan ko ng direksyon kala mo mas mataas pa ang katayuan sa akin.

Since kailangan ko ng pera para magkaroon ng progress ang 'oplan tuparin ang wish ni Morpheus' kukuhain ko ang monthly allowance ko. Nanny Riri is in charge of this matter pero dahil wala sya ngayon dito dahil daw kailangan ko muna matuto ng "Good manners". I'll do all the things na ginagawa ng Nanny Riri. At dahil wala akong planong igastos ang budget na yon para sa pangangalaga ng west wing sasadyain kong kunin yon sa nagmamanage ng pamemera sa bahay na ito to buy some good stuffs.

At last! Hallelujah! Nakita ko na rin ang silid! Derederetso akong pumasok ng opisina at hinanap agad ang nagmamanage don.

"Lady Morpheus, what are you doing here?" Tanong ng lalaking nasa mid 40s na yata. May suot rin itong monocle na sa tingin ko ay dumagdag sa appeal nito. I'm not into older ones of course. Tsk. Where's the money?

"Ah, I'm here to get the monthly allowance for the west wing palace." Nangingiting sagot ko dito. Mukha naman syang mabait kaya why not act nice too.

"Why? Where is your Nanny Riri?" Kunot noong tanong nito.

"Huh? You didn't know Mr. Kenny?" Kunot noong tanong ko din.

"Know what, Lady Morpheus?" Balik na tanong naman nito sa akin.

"Ah I see. The Duke's announcement haven't reach your ears. They send my Nanny Riri away." Maikling paliwanag ko rito.

"So, you don't call him Daddy now. You become quite arrogant these past few days, Morpheus." I flinched as his cold voice penetrated my ears. Damn, that's kinda cold brrr.

It's Cleryvan Jil Y Astaire. The oldest brother of Morpheus.

"Greetings, Young Master Cleryvan." Mr. Kenny said and slightly bow. The difference of respect is really visible.

"Can I get it now Mr. Kenny?" I asked ignoring the person behind me.

"Yes of course lady Morpheus. I already prepared it since I thought Riri will get it this week." Sabi nito at may kinuhang maliit na pouch sa drawer nito. Mabuti na lang at hindi ko na kailangan makipagdebate para makuha ito.

"Yes. thanks, Mr. Kenny." I joyfully said while smiling brightly. I don't need respect right now, I need money. They can do whatever they want.

I can feel Cleryvan's cold gaze towards me but I don't have time to talk sh*t with him kaya pagkakuha ko ng pouch binato ko ito sa pagmumukha nya! Charing! hahaha. Deretsong lumabas na ako ng silid ng hindi sya nililingon.

Must taste your own medicine jerk! I saw from Morpheus' memories that this Cleryvan always ignore Morpheus whenever she approached him. Nilalagpasan nya lang ito na para bang walang nakikita at naririnig.

Now. Let's go find the gift shop outside.

"Your beloved Nanny was sent far away from you, yet you still have the energy to walk around the palace, Sister Morpheus." I don't know how I will describe her tone of voice but I'm sure there is an insult there.

Nilingon ko ang may tampalasan na bibig na yon sa likod ko at hindi nga ako nagkamali. It's Aileen.

"Oh Hi! Sister Aileen!" Masayang bati ko dito. Let's see who can act better. I waved my right hand at her while smiling.

"I just collect my monthly allowance." Sabi ko habang nakangiti parin.

"You seem happy today Sister. Aren't you sad that your Nanny isn't here to do this kind of thing for you?" She said. I can see her lips smirking. Tss this b*tch really want me to throw tantrums here.

"I know the Duke did it for my own good, Sister. And I just realized I was wrong to be rude in front of all of you in the dining room. I apologize if I frightened you, Sister Aileen" Lumapit ako sa kanya at hinawakan ang dalawang kamay nito. "I promise to never bother you again Sister. I apologize for what I've done... Is that what you wanna hear from me, my dear Sister Aileen?"

"Ahhhh stop! Let go of my hand! Let go of my hand!!!" Daing nito pero patuloy ko paring iniipit ang dalawang kamay nito with my bare hands too. How dare you act high and mighty in front of me when you aren't even as strong as your b*tchy attitude.

"Listen Aileen." Marahas ko itong hinila papalapit sa akin hanggang makapantay ng tainga nito ang bibig ko.

"A trash will always be trash, regardless of where you put it. Even if you dressed it beautifully and adorned it with gleaming jewels. Its repulsive odor will not go away." I whispered. I let her go and tap her shoulder with a smile.

A smile fades as I turned my back at her. I immediately take out the handkerchief I brought and wipe my hands with it.

I can't think of anything but I know I have to calm down. It feels like the resentment of this body towards this place, at any moment, would reach the ceiling.
