El Greco series 1: Dealing with Mr. Billionaire [COMPLETED]

Chapter 40

They walked hand in hand, fingers interlocked with each other, him guiding her through the path while they were covered by the comfortable silence.

Ilang sandali pa ay narating na nila ang huling destinasyon sa araw na iyon, ang flower field. The flowers scattered beautifully in the field. Na para bang isinaboy lang iyon at hinayaang maging malayang tumubo at lumago. Hindi maiwasan ni Krystal na mamangha sa mga naggagandahang bulaklak sa paligid. Mga naggagandahang lilies gaya ng water lilies na nasa pond, mga lily lotus sa gilid at sa ibabaw na parte ng pond, may mga amaryllis, stargazer, at mayroon ring fairy lilies na kulay puti, pink, at purple na nagmukukhang munting crocus flowers na nagsisilbing pathway patungo sa fairyhouse ng flower field. They decided that instead of a greenhouse, why not make it a fairyhouse? The ones that looked like it came out of a fantasy book. At base sa pagkakagawa nito, nagmumukha itong tahanan ng isang diwata na nakatira sa flower field na iyon. Bagay lang ang ipinangalan na Antheia's house rito.

Sa kalawakan ng field ay nagkalat ang mga baby's breath, daisies, cosmos na sari-sari ang kulay, anemone, pansy, at iba pang hindi na niya magawang pangalanan. Sa labas naman ng fairyhouse ay naroon nakatayo at matingkad na namumukadkad ang sunflowers, sa may gilid ay naroroon din ang halos kulay dugong gumamela o hibiscus, at sa mismong tapat ng greenhouse ay may mga jasmine na namumukadkad ang purong puti nitong petals at humahalimuyak sa buong paligid. Sa hindi kalayuan naman ay may nakita rin siyang namumukadkad na birds of paradise at canna. Hindi rin nawawala sa nakalatag na mga bulaklak ang naggagandahang rosas at peonies.

"Ang ganda rito" hindi niya maiwasang maisambulat. The word beautiful doesn't fit to describe the place to begin with. It looks magical, enchanting, dreamlike, like it came out directly from that of a fantasy book.

The fairyhouse added to the enchanting, mystifying beauty of the field because instead of the usual old woody and earthy fairyhouse, it looks like a resting place of a goddess. The four pillars had gold and white cloth attached to the one pillar at the center serves as shade from the sun, the excess of the cloth was left hanging and waving together with the wind creating a more mystical effect adding to the ethereal beauty of the field.

"You okay there baby?" Anang boses ni Uno dahilan para mabalik siya sa katinuan.

"Yeah" she let out a happy sigh and once again admired the beauty of her surrounding.

"So pretty" she muttered softly.

"Indeed" saad ni Uno nang hindi inaalis ang tingin kay Krystal habang pinagmamasdan ang paligid.

"Halika, upo ka muna. Kanina ka pa nakatayo, baka napagod na kayo ni baby" aya ni Uno pagkatapos ay iminuwestra ang loob ng nag-iisang estrukturang nakatayo sa lugar na iyon.

Pagkapasok niya sa loob ay nagulat siya nang makitang may mesang nakahanda doon. It was designed romantically, with red tulips, wine glasses, utensils for dinner, and a candle that was lit up giving a touch of romance. Hindi man lang niya napansin na mayroon palang ganoon sa loob kasi abala siya sa pagkamangha niya sa paligid.

Out of nowhere, may narinig siyang tugtog ng piano at violin. It was a beautiful melody, but she was curious where did that came from. Napatingin siya sa binata nang puno ng pagtataka sa mukha.

"What?" He asked when he felt her gaze.

"Where did that came from?" Uno just smiled and gestured outside. There she saw his brothers and cousins playing instruments. Dos playing the piano, Fourth and Five playing the violin, and as if on cue, Third and Six came in with silver trays in hand. It was Cannon in D by Johann Pachelbel, the violin surely goes well with the piano. Though Krystal prefer the six string quartet version more, but she loved how the boys blended it well. Third and Six reached the table at the center and placed their meal.
