Chapter 47
defied
I don't know how they did it.
Did they made me eat something? How come? Paano nangyari? Is that even possible?
"Sa Lunes, uuwi tayo ng Aramac. Itanong mo kay Abuela ang tungkol rito." Hinawakan ng kapatid ko ang aking kamay. "Kailangang matigil at maklaro na 'to, Noella."
Abuela and I didn't talk much even before they sent me off to España. How would I do that now? She's so hard to approach.
Sa totoo lang. Lahat ng nalaman ko mahirap itanim sa utak. Hindi ko matanggap at napakahirap paniwalaan.
Lahat ng nalaman ko nang gabing iyon ay ipinagpaliban ko muna kinabukasan. I don't want it to meddle and consume my entire brain for the whole day. Or perhaps... I am being in-denial.
Istrikta naman talaga si Abuela. I just couldn't accept she can do something like that to me. Apo rin naman niya ako...kahit papano.
"Miss, pwede po bang kayo ang magminutes sa meeting?" tanong sa akin ni Vicky bago pa man ako makapasok sa opisina ng kapatid ko. "Hindi po kasi ako makakasama dahil masama ang pakiramdam ko. Don't worry, i-edit ko po ang nasulat niyo pagdating niyo."
"Okay..." tumango ako at ngumiti. "I'll try my best. Although my handwriting is not that good."
Which true. Sinira ng medschool at ospital and sulat-kamay ko.
My sister came out of her office. Nakasunod si Becca at may dalang charting board.
"Let's go," Natalia Cecilia commanded. "The helicopter is ready."
We got there in less than half a minute. Riding the helicopter made me think that my sister is unstoppable when she moves in her field.
Natalia Cecilia walked as if she never cried the night before it. With clean elegant make-up that made her look like it's her bare face, chin up and confident with every step. Lahat ng empleyado na nadadaanan namin maging ang janitress na nagtatrabaho sa gilid ay nahinto.
The rest bowed to her as a respect. Para bang sanay silang makita ang kapatid ko rito. .
A lady in corporate attire accompanied us while taking the elevator. I guess she's a secretary.
"Nandoon na ba sila, Sophie?" tanong ni Ate habang chine-check ang orasan sa pulsuhan.
"Engr. Deo is already at the conference room, Miss. Samantalang si Sir Razi naman po papunta na rin doon."
Eventually, we reached the conference room on the sixteenth floor of the building. Pagpasok namin roon agad kong inilibot ang paningin sa buong kwarto. I saw Deo on the side of the capital chair. Reading something on the folder. I think that was the folder I handed in yesterday.
Our eyes met at ako ang unang umiwas dahil sa guilt na naramdaman ko. I acted harshly yesterday. Nahihiya ako.
Kuya Razi came in at almost the same time. Nakasunod sa kanya ang sekretarya niya.
"Pleased to have you here again, President Mondiego," Razi smiled at us. Dumako ang tingin niya sa akin at bahagyang nagtagal kalaunan ay ngumiti rin. "Dalawa pala kayong Mondiego rito."
"I hired my sister for a week since my other secretary is on Aramac."
Umupo siya sa kabisera. My sister sat on the other end facing Kuya Razi. Like opposite poles.
"Magandang ideya..." he added and turned to Deo. "Right, Deo?"
Deo sighed at his brother. Pakiramdam ko kung walang nakatingin ay iirapan niya ang kapatid niya.

Cursed Kiss (Curse #1)
RomanceI have always been obedient. Morals, manners, etiquette, class, and intelligence. I've done it. I abided on it like it's a law. But you came, starting with a kiss. All of that didn't matter anymore. Then, there is this curse between us. A long hist...
