Maurice pov
I just arrive sa house

And all i can hear sa loob were shoutings

"Papa ayoko!" i heard a shout

wait thats my kuya

"Maverick naman" i heard an another voice

It was my papa

"Pa gagawin ko ang lahat please wag lang yan... Wag si mau wag ang kapatid ko....magagawan yan ng paraan wag niyo lang e galawin si maurice" kuya said

Wait I'm involve?

Whats this ba

I rushly went inside but bullet stop me

" Miss ri mas nakakabuti po ata wag muna kayo pumasok medyo nagkaka initan pa sila" bullet said

"I don't care bullet move"i said

As i push away bullet and went inside

I saw my brother crying in anger he looks stress

" Riri anak bat ka nandito? ang aga yata natapos ng event niyo sa orphanage"my mom said

Acting all innocent

I'm sure she is trying to cover up what my dad and kuya argue with

" What's all the noises? And why is my name involve" i asked

Out of curiosity

" Ri go upstairs na sa room mo" my brother ordered

" But kuya i wanna know"i said

Since i was very curious on whats happening

And why is it a total chaos

"Look Maverick she is interested" papa said

"Pa wag talaga" kuya said

" Pa just tell me and kuya stop stopping him in what he is saying"i said irritatedly

I am so irita from them

They don't say a word

I looked at my mom who was making a move to speak

Thank goodness cause all I thought they would be pepe

" Ri anak don't be shock on what we will tell you" my mama told me

Gosh what is it kasi

They are being a dramatic family nanaman

"Ri anak your getting married" my father stated

That make me shock

What me getting married?

In the age of 25?

Seriously?

"Look ikaw nalang ang pag asa namin cause if not hindi matutuloy yung project natin sa pasay kasi malaking pera ang nawala saatin" my father explain

"How?" i said shockingly

As i didn't know my tears were falling

"Tinakbo nong isang business partner ni papa yung pera last week" my kuya answered

" Maybe i can help you i have a lot of money in my savings"i said

Offering

" Ri hindi yan kakasya at sayo na yan pinaghirapan mo yan we need Billions not just for that project dahil  meron pa tayong asikasohin na iba pa aside diyan" mama said

" Bunso I'm sorry if you need to get through this please wag talaga" my brother said crying

While hugging me

" Kuya"i said in a cracking voice

I know all he wants was to protect me

Since im his sister

We broke the hug and papa looked at me

"Who will i be married to?" I asked them

"Your tito theo offer his help" papa said

So that means i'm marrying azeriel?
