Ara's POV
"Sha, Gab, Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?" She asked her cousin and cousin in-law while holding an envelope.
The two looked at each other guiltily.
"Two weeks! It's only been two weeks since we arrived at may acceptance letter na ang mga bata? On the same school where their fathers are teaching! Oh my God! What were you thinking?!" She exclaimed. In her hand are letters from Saint Ignatious College stating that her kids transfer has been granted.
She knows na hindi basta-basta nakaka pasok sa school na yun lalo at transferee ang mga anak niya, so she also knows that her family here in the Philippines helped the kids out.
"Ma, you agreed to this?" Baling ko naman kay Mommy.
"Ara, calm down. The kids came to me last year and they said they wanted to study here and be with their father, I might've told them that they are in academe and teaching in the same school. Don't worry, Rob already knows and Argus wouldn't find out until you are ready. After all, sa highschool nagtuturo si Argus and he wouldn't handle any classes for Amalthea. Si Rob ang nagtuturo naman sa elementary." Her Mom explained and Ara frustratingly rubbed her face with both hands.
Napanganga na lang siya sa explanation ng Mommy niya. Don't worry? Calm down? Paano? Once they saw Amalthea, they for sure will already guess who her father is. Their resemblance is just uncanny, because while Aries got almost all his features from her side of the family, Amalthea is a replica of her father.
Dimples pa lang nila, magka-mukhang magka mukha na.
"Mommy, my kids are underage they required consent para ma enroll sila sa school." She stated and looked at the couple in the room.
"Ako ang pumirma as a guardian Ara, gusto ko lang naman pagbigyan yung mga bata, Don't you think he should know? May karapatan siyang malaman." Mahabang paliwanag ni Gabby sa kanya.
She huffed in annoyance, of course he can do that! He's the bloody owner of the school!
"Hanggang ngayon ba, hindi mo kayang harapin siya?" Gabby asked again and she shook her head.
"Kelan ka magiging handa Ara?" Her Mom asked this time.
"Hindi ko alam Mom!" She answered weakly, she's getting tired of this conversation.
Talo na siya, and as much as gusto niyang i-withraw ang enrollment ng mga anak niya, hindi na pwede because Sharon and Gabby already dropped them out from their schooling in NZ.
"Whether you like it or not, magkikita at magkikita kayo sa kasal." Sharon stated and she gave her cousin a side eye.
It's going to be Agot and Albert's wedding on Christmas day and she's one of the bridesmaid.
"I know and I'll handle it when that happens. Don't think that I can easilly forgive you for bypassing me." She answered her cousin.
"Hey! It wasn't just my decision! Your Mom and Dad plus, Kuya Edu agreed to it!" Sagot naman ni Sharon.
Edu is their cousin as well, he married Vilma na kapatid naman ni Gabby. Vilma is the principal of the highschool department.
"Dad and Kuya Edu are lucky they're not here! God! If this all went downhill, I swear— I will bring my kids and run to the farthest country and none of you will know where we are!" She treathened at mukha naman effective dahil napa lunok ang tatlo.
"Ara, anak we're sorry but we actually thought we are fixing things." Her Mom answered and she ignored her.
She had enough for the day. Dasal na lang talaga ang kakampi niya.
