Grant Benjamin's Point of View
Threscia Alessandra Qiao is a lady who's a spoiled brat yet had a joyous personality. She's really persistent to get what she wants and giving up is not in her vocabulary. Who wouldn't have thought I fell in love with her?
It was unexpected but I just realized that despite her bad sides, she also has good sides. She has fair glossy skin, slender eyebrows, natural curled velvety eyelashes, a shapely figure, a dainty nose, a soothing voice, and heart-shaped lips. She's really beautiful.
I suddenly remember those past moments with her.
Leaning against the door, I cocked my head to have a full view of her delighted face while reading the kids a story, "at the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry. She tasted the porridge from the first bowl. She exclaimed, 'this porridge is too hot."
Pagkukwento niya at hindi ko alam pero ang ganda niyang pagmasdan kasama ang mga bata. She's bewitching and all I know, she'll be a good mother. Seeing the kids beaming while listening to Threscia's story telling made my heart melts.
"Grant, iho," agad akong umalerto at napaayos ng tayo nang marinig ko na tinawag ako ni Mother Superior. Nang lumingon sa dako ko si Threscia ay nawala ang ngiti ko at iniwas ang tingin ko sa kaniya.
F*ck, did she notice my smile? I cleared my throat and put my hands in my pockets.
"Kuya Grant!" Nalipat ang tingin ko kay Heather nang tawagin niya ako. Heather is a brilliant and adorable kid. I've been visiting and donating to this orphanage for almost 3 years now. But today, I crossed paths with Threscia.
Nang lumapit sa akin si Heather ay agad kong nilabas ang mga kamay ko sa bulsa at maingat ko siyang binuhat. Sumulyap ako kay Threscia nang sinara niya ang libro at kapagkuwa'y tumayo siya. Tumayo ito at agad na nagtama ang mga mata namin.
Our eyes met but I broke off.
"Kuya, siya po 'yong sinasabi kong ate na maganda," napatingin ako kay Heather nang sabihin niya iyon sa akin. Bigla ko namang naalala na may kinekwento pala siyang isang babae sa akin at hindi ko alam na si Threscia pala ang tinutukoy niya.
Nang maramdaman kong lumapit si Threscia namin ay narinig kong nagsalita si Mother Superior.
"Tulad mo ay nagv-volunteer din dito si Grant, iha. Nagd-donate din ang pamilya niya rito at tuwing may oras itong si Grant ay dumadalaw siya rito," Mother Superior explained. Maya-maya ay may binulong si Heather sa akin.
"Kuya Grant, bagay po kayo ni Ate Threscia," she whispered and I can't help but smile because of what she had just said. Nagtinginan kami ni Heather at ngumiti siya sa akin.
"Baba na po ako, Kuya Grant. Mag-usap na po kayo ni Ate Threscia," aniya sa akin na ikinatango ko lang. Gaya ng gusto niya ay binaba ko na si Heather at nakita kong lumapit ito kay Threscia at kapagkuwa'y tiningala niya ito.
"Mag-usap na po kayo ni Kuya Grant, hihi," hagikgik niya at nakita kong napangiti si Threscia dahil doon. Nagpaalam na rin sa amin si Mother Superior at binigyan kami ng privacy.
EVERYTHING IS going smoothly with my girlfriend, Bethany but not when my parents told me about the arranged marriage. About Bethany, I decided to have a relationship with her to fulfill my childhood promise to her.
"Son, let me remind you that we'll meet your fiancee this coming Saturday," napatingin ako kay dad nang sabihin niya 'yon sa akin. Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain ngayon ng gabihan nang magsalita siya.
