Chapter XXII - Bodegas Salvatore II
HELISE excuses herself and went to the comfort room. She felt very uncomfortable around the friend of Kallisto’s aunt. There’s something in her aura that she couldn’t avoid. Hindi niya alam pero parang ayaw siya ng kaibigan ng tiyahin ni Kalli. My God! She didn’t expect that meeting his family was this hard, eventhough that Tita Sylvia isn’t a part of his family.
Palabas na si Helise para bumalik sa dining area kung saan naghahain ang tita ni Kalli. She planned on helping her but when she’s about to enter the dining hall, she heard that woman talking to Kalli’s aunt.
“That’s his fiance? I heard she was a divorcee?”
The tone of her voice was accusing.
“Sylvia, ano naman?” balik tanong ng auntie Paustina ni Kalli. “She looks very decent and I heard from kuya Philipe that’s she’s very smart and well mannered especially in business.”
Helise heard the groan of disapproval from ‘Tita Sylvia.’
“Gracious! Kallisto should have married my Stella instead! She’s pretty, smart and very much single not a divorcee!” may pagdidiin sa huling sinabi nito. “I really want him to be my, mi yerno.”
“Sylvia! Stop it! Kallisto and his fiance might heard you! That’s rude.”
“But then, maybe my Stella might have a chance. I didn’t see the heirloom engagement ring to her finger awhile ago!” excited na anito.
Hindi na narinig pa ni Helise ang ilan pang sinabi ng tiyahin ni Kallisto dahil umalis na siya doon. It was the first time she experience that kind of disapproval at sa tao pang hindi naman niya dapat na binibigyan ng pansin dahil hindi naman niya lubos na kilala!
Judgemental people has too many gossips to say.
Lumabas siya, naglakad lakad hanggang sa makarating siya sa garden area ng mansyon.
Aaminin niya, she kinda felt insecure when she heard that. She started to think that Kallisto deserves better than her. God! Bakit parang may kirot sa dibdib nang isipin niya iyon?
She then looked at her hands, nakuryoso kasi siya kung ano ang hinahanap ng ‘Tita Sylvia’ na iyon sa kaniyang kamay kanina.
Ang heirloom engagement ring pala ang hinahanap nito at ang gusto nitong mapasakamay ng anak nito. Goodness! Pakiramdam ni Helise ay napakahaba na ng stay niya sa mansyon na ito kahit na ilang oras pa lamang siyang narito.
That’s obviously because of ‘Tita Sylvia.’
Natigilan si Helise nang magring ang cellphone niya, it was Jelly asking for audio call. Sinagot naman iyon ni Helise pero sa halip na audio call ay nagrequest siya ng video call. Bigla tuloy niyang namiss ang mga kaibigan.
“Hi, Hel!” masayang bungad nito. “how are you?” she was wearing her hospital gown.
Ngumiti siya sa kaibigan. “I’m good. Nandito ako sa ancestral mansion nila Kallisto.”
“Uyyyy!!” kantyaw nito sa kaniya. “tuloy na tuloy na talaga! I’m so excited to be there on your wedding! We miss you soooo much, Hel.”
Pabirong inirapan niya ito. Jelly was always overracting. Para bang hindi ito doctora kung umasta, but she likes it. She likes her being jolly.
Jolly Jelly. Hihi.
“Oh, nga pala, I don’t wanna ruin your mood but I run into yout husband kanina.” umikot ang eyeballs nito ng 360 degrees. “that son of a b•tch is asking about you.”
