"You're going to meet your fiancé later in the party." Her father said.
She just boredly nodded and continue eating. His father sighed and look at her.
"Why do you look so sad, Cyra? Did you not enjoy the Philippines?" Tanong nito.
"I did." Tipid niyang sagot.
"Good. 'Yon din ang sinabi ng tauhan ko na pinasubaybay ko sa 'yo."
Nabitawan niya ang kutsara na hawak niya at gulat na napatingin sa ama.
"Dad, that's my vacation and you have men to follow me around?" Histerya niya.
She's just actually nervous for Hakob. Paano kapag sinabi ng tauhan ng ama niya ang tungkol kay Hakob at kung anong ginagawa ni Hakob? Bakit hindi rin nabalitaan ng ama niya na nadisgrasya siya.
"Don't worry, he's just checking on you and he's not interfering your vacation. He said that you've try things that you've never tried before and that's all, that's all what my men said." Her father said making her secretly sighed in relief.
Because honestly, she wouldn't like what his father would do to Hakob. Ayaw niyang may mangyaring masama dito. And she's planning to thanks that men for keeping Hakob as a secret.
"Can I meet that bodyguard? I might want him to be my personal bodyguard." She said.
Kumislap naman sa tuwa ang mata ng ama. Dati pa man ay ayaw na niya sa bodyguard, ngayon lang talaga siya nanghingi.
Keeping Hakob as a secret means a bif thing to her. Baka kilala ng bodyguard niya si Hakob o baka kinuntyaba ni Hakob?
"Sure! Sure! He also fly here the time of your flight so you'll meet him later." Her father said.
Napatango naman siya at napangiti.
Masagana siyang kumain. She's actually have a plan to escape for a party later. Tatlong linggo rin siyang walang ganoon, she won't deny she misses her old life but nothing compares the life she had with Hakob. It wasn't easy as a piece of cake but it taste like it.
Papaakyat na siya ng hagdan ng makasalubong niya si Xyril na galit na galit.
"You useless bitch!" Her ate hissed and almost slapped her but she quickly block it.
"What the fuck is your problem?" Asik niya rito.
Pero sinamaan lang siya nito ng tingin. 'Yong tipong may pagkamuhi at galit na galit.
"You think I didn't know that you've been hanging out with a poor man? I have men followed you there and you actually beg for him to take you away? You useless brat!" Tili ni Xyril.
Uminit ang ulo niya sa narinig. She didn't appreciate how Xyril talk bad about Hakob.
"Don't talk to him like that! You don't know how he makes me happy!" Asik niya pabalik dito.
Napatawa ng mapakla si Xyril.
"You think we want you to find your happiness? We want you to find a rich husband so that atleast you could be useful!"
Akmang magsasalita siya ng dumagundong ang isang boses.
"That's enough!"
Agad siyang napalingon sa likuran ni Xyril. Her eyes teared up and immediately run to that person.
"Mommy!"
Napairap si Xyril at nagmarcha paalis. Agad naman siyang yumakap sa ina.
"How's my baby?" Malambing na tanong nito.
Mahigpit niyang niyakap ang ina.
"I miss you so much, Mom."
Her mom is a half-filipina and half-European. She doesn't know more about her mother aside from she's really caring but always stay on her room and barely go out.
"Did you enjoy your vacation?"
Tumango siya.
Hinaplos nito ang buhok niya habang nakayakap pa rin siya dito. It's so comfortable on her arms. Sa lahat ng tao sa bahay ang ina lang ang mapagkakatiwalaa niya.
"Is it true that you're with a guy?"
Nahihiyang tumango siya dito at nag-angat ng tingin.
"I want him, Mommy. I love him. He made me feel like...I don't know how to explain it but with him I am so happy." She confessed.
Kumislap naman ang mata ng ina niya sa tuwa.
"Aww, dalaga na ang baby ko. You can fall in love with any man you want to fall with, Cyra. Don't mind your ate and your Dad."
Napatango siya pero lihim na napangiti ng mapait. Nothing can make her Dad's decision's change. It's fixed already, makikilala na niya ang fiancé niya mamaya.
Napatitig siya sa ina. Sa tanang buhay niya ngayon lang niya ito nakita ng ganoon kasaya. Mapula ang pisngi nito at kumikislap ang mata sa tuwa. She knew that she wasn't the reason. May iba pa.
Napatingin siya sa butler na lumabas sa silid ng ina niya. He was so formal as he walk, he doesn't look like a butler, he looks like a business man minus the outfit.
Her brows furrowed upon noticing that the man is wearing brown wig for male hair. Ang iba siguro ay hindi makakapansin pero siya na pamiluar sa bagay na 'yon alam niyang naka-wig ang lalaki at nakasuot rin ito ng pekeng bigote. Magkasing-edad it9 ng ina niya pero matikas pa rin ang pangangatawan.
"Madam, Señorita." Pormal na bati ng lalaki sa kanilang dalawa ng makalapit ito.
"Cyrus," balik na bati ng ina, mukhang giliw na giliw ang ina niya dito.
"Cyra, greet him." Utos ng ina niya.
"Uh, h-hello."
Ngumiti ang butler at bahagyang yumukod saka umalis. Napatingin siya sa ina niya na nakangiting sinundan si Cyrus..
Kumunot ang noo niya. She's not dumb not to realized her mother fancy that butler.
But ain't that cheating? Is her Mom cheating with her Dad?
Mas lalong gumulo ang utak niya. Hindi niya alam kung anong unang iisipin. She's brokenhearted from Hakob plus she's going to meet her fiancé in the party her father prepared and her Mom's probably cheating.
"You're so gorgeous!" Puri ng HMUA pagkatapos siyang ayusan nito. Panandaliang nawala ang iniisip niya at napangiti habang nakatitig sa salamin.
She's so beautiful, like more than beautiful tonight. She's wearing a glittery fitted champagne dress. It's so perfect on her she looks like an angel with her wavy brown hair down.
"Thank you." Pasasalamat niya at tumayo na.
Lumabas siya ng silid at naglakad pababa ng hagdan. Nakita niya ang ama na kinakausap ang isang binatang pormal ang kasuotan habang nakatalikod sa kanya.
She caught her father's attention. Napangiti ito ng makita siya.
"Cyra! You're just in time. Come here meet your bodyguard." Masayang saad ng ama.
"She wants you to be her personal bodyguard, I would be please if you two get along with each other." Her father said.
Hindi tumugon ang lalaki. Nang makalapit na siya ay lumingon na ito.
Her blood drained.
"Cyra, meet your bodyguard, Elias. Hijo, this is my beautiful daughter, and you'll be serving her." Nakangiting pakikilala ng ama.
She have never been betrayed by her whole life. Just now...with the man she loves, Hakob Elias.
