Chapter Thirteen

Mariing kinagat ni Agatha ang mga kuko habang hinihintay ang pagpasok ng Papa nya sa opisina. Allen is busy with his phone.

Finally the door opened and it revealed her father.

"What happened?"

"Someone deliver a dead cat, Papa."

Dumapo ang tingin ng ama sa kanya. Agatha sighed.

"It came from some enemies, Papa. Pinagtataka ko bakit kay Agatha pinadala?"

"Maybe they wanted to provoke us. Gawin mo na ang dapat, Allen."

"Vini and I already planned out."

"Agatha?" Nilapitan sya ng ama.

"Is this because of the plan we made, Papa? I agreed to this and decided to not speak about the other business."

"I never mentioned the other business to you."

"But of course I fucking knew it, Papa! I'm an goddamn Ong!"

"What plan?" Tanong ni Allen.

"About this arranged marriage set up." Agatha sighed again. "I agreed to this for the trust of Romares and Pinto Company, Papa. Dahil hindi ko gustong mainvolve dito sa inyo."

"Too bad, you are involved." Allen crossed his arms over his chest.

"Allen, Agatha." Ani Elliot. "This is a serious matters."

"Serious fucking matters." Agathe then rolled her eyes. "The plan should be accomplished."

Manghang napatingin si Elliot sa anak at tumango.

"Iyong napag usapan natin."

"How come I didn't know this? You also made a deal with Papa?" Singit ni Allen.

Agatha smirked. "You were so pussy whipped, Kuya."

Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Allen, prenteng naupo si Elliot sa may sofa.

"The Romares were clean, Papa." Si Allen.

Hinimas ni Elliot ang baba at humalukiphip.

"Other companies had some dirty deeds, hindi lang tayo. What made you think Ian agreed to this?"

Nagkatinginan ang magkapatid.

"They also wanted to expand the business, lahat naman gustong umangat. Binigyan ko lang sila ng pabor."

"Papa!" Sigaw ni Allen. "Si Agatha ang involved dito."

"Very well, your sister agreed to this arrangement. We had a plan."

"Fuck!?"

Tumayo na ang ama nila at tinapik sila pareho sa balikat. Hinarap sya ni Allen at pinanlakihan ng mata.

"You agreed? I thought you were aware?!"

"Both. And why are you so surprised? Ito naman talaga ang unang plano diba?"

"But I didn't agree, it's gonna be your whole life were talking about, Agatha!"

"Let's just play the game by fair, Kuya. I'm sure you know how."

"Agatha..."

"It's gonna be fine, don't worry."

"Ezekiel will hate you."

Bumuntong hininga sya at tumango bago naupo sa swivel chair. Agatha knows that. Kung sakali mang may magbago sa kanilang dalawa ni Ezekiel, she was really aware. Dahil una sa lahat, ang kasunduhang ito ang nakaplano na talaga.
