Gold Ring of Betrayal

Special Chapter

His elegant spring flower

KALLISTO went to his friends house to get his books back. That bastard borrowed a book from him and he didn’t bring it back! Kailangan pa talaga siya ang kukuha. Henry San Isidro is the only person he considered a friend. Him, being the only son of their family’s generation. He is the only heir of their huge Salvatore Vineyard.

He had a couple of body guards until recently. Sinabi na rin kasi niya sa ama na hindi na siya kumportable sa mga umaaligid na bodyguards sa kaniya. There was no threat for his life, nag-iingat lang ang pamilya niya dahil isa sila sa kilalang mayaman at prominenteng pamilya, like the San Isidros. Sa ngayon may mga bodyguards pa rin naman siya, nasa paligid lang, nakamasid.

“Where the hell is Henry?”

“My brother is upstairs with Sandy.”

Napalingon siya sa pinanggalingan ng boses na nagsalita. Then he saw a young lady wearing a yellow long sleeves button dress with a red bow.

Her eyes looks cold and pretty. Her cheeks were red, not sure because of the weather or it is natural. She had this elegant aura screaming all over her face. He could actually compare her to an elegant spring flower.

But she looks really young. He shook his head drawing the line at himself.

She was holding the book that Henry borrowed from him. Hindi niya maiwasang mapakunot ang noo. How old is this kid? At bakit na ito nagbabasa ng libro na pang-college level na?

Isang malamig na tingin ang ginawad nito sa kaniya bago sinara ang libro.

“I am his sister.”

Oh! His bestfriend have a little sister years younger than him. How old is she again? She looks really young but acts really mature. Paano naging kapatid ito ni Henry?

“I am Henry’s friend, Kallisto.” pakilala niya.

Hindi ito umimik sa kaniya. Tinitigan lang siya nito nang bahagya.

“Ma’am, si Sir Tristan po nandito.”

Ang malamig na mukha nito ay biglang umaliwalas sa sinabi ng kasambahay nila.

“He went here in Spain for me?” bakas ang excitement sa mga mata nito.

Tumayo ang dalaga. She’s tall, alam niyang halos apat o limang taon ang agwat ng edad nito kay Henry kaya hindi inaasahan ni Kallisto ang tangkad nito. 

“Do I look okay, yaya?” tanong pa nito sa kasambahay bago inayos ang bow nito. “My brother has a visitor but he’s still busy with Candy or Sandy? I don’t know her name. Serve him a juice, please. Thank you.”

And just like that, she went out to see who ever visited her.

There are a few times that she visited her brother Henry while they’re busy studying in Spain. Ilang ulit rin niyang nakita ang babae pero madalas kasama na nito si Tristan.

She was really pre-occupied with that boy whenever she visits her brother and that pisses him off for some reason.

“Why is she always with that boy when she’s visiting you here?”

He couldn’t help but to asked. They were busy studying for their midterms.

“You mean, Tristan?” balik tanong sa kaniya ni Henry. “He’s her childhood sweetheart, Kalli.”

So, they’ve known each other since they were a child.

“Why?” tanong pa nito.

Umiling siya sa kaibigan. “Nothing.”
