Clio
Calliope immediately captivated their hearts, so she's now sitting beside Zilas dad as if it's her grandfather. Obviously, Calliope is confused about what was happening but a piece of lollipop shut her up. My daughter was busy chewing and licking the lollipop while I was being interrogated.
" When are you planning to marry my son? " Here goes another question about weddings and marriages, Zilas was silent in his seat because he could no longer scream at his father for the reason that Calliope is watching us. Alam kung hindi mahihinto ang usapan kung hindi ako sasagot, kasal lang bukambibig ni Zaimi. Parang minamadali niyang ipakasal ang kaniyang anak.
" Daddy, please. " Mahinang sigaw ni Zilas sa ama, gusto niya atang lakasan pa ang boses niya pero nakatingin sa amin si Calliope kaya hindi niya magawa. Nais ko sanang ibalik si Calliope sa kuwarto dahil hindi suitable sa kaniya ang pag uusapan namin pero hindi ako makatayo dito, pinipigilan kasi ako ng ama ni Zilas tuwing tatayo ako.
" You need to marry him Zilas, it's not a choice. There is no choice. It's either you marry him or you die. " Teka teka, ano?! Tama ba ang narinig ko? Hindi naman siguro mamatay si Zilas dahil lang hindi niya ako mapapakasalan 'di ba? Bakit naman siya mamatay? I'm lost. Napatingin ako kay Zilas, naka yoko lang siya sa kaniyang inu-upuan.
" What do you mean? " Nalilito kung tanong, this doesn't make sense at all.
" Zern, take this sweet pie somewhere. " Utos ni Zaimi sa anak na katabi ni Calliope, Zern did what his father had told him.
" Calli-" tatayo na sana ako kaso pinigilan ako ng isa pang kapatid ni Zilas, even his father was holding me from running to her.
" Zern is the safest place for Calliope, don't worry about her. " His father assured me in a gentle tone, nakita niya siguro ang panic sa mata ko when I saw them taking away Calliope. Bumalik ako sa inu-upuan habang nakatingin kung paano siya lumabas sa apartment kasama ang anak ko, one of their bodyguards followed him out. My daughter didn't even budge, hinayaan niya lang tangayin siya nong lalaki.
" Now, let's get back to our discussion." Bumalik ang atensyon ko sa ama ni Zilas.
" It may sound ridiculous and foolish but there's a curse running in our family for generations now. A curse where we can only perceive love after we've spent a night with them, a curse of obsession and possession. We tend to lose our sanity which may lead to suicide and murder if we can't have that person. Jealousy can blind even the smartest man in our family, it's the most overpowering emotion we can't handle when we're not bound by marriage. The reason why I'm urging you to marry my son immediately was because he might lose his head and kill anyone he perceives as a threat to your relationship with him. " He explained in detail para ma gets ng makitid kung utak, pero kahit ganon na ka specific ang explanation niya my brain refuses to digest whatever he said to me. Nag error bigla ang utak ko sa narinig.
Tumingin ako kay Zilas, he was looking away from me tila takot siyang tingnan ako sa mata. It's not his fault, now is it? First of all, his friends literally signed him in that bar ng wala siyang alam. If he knew baka hindi na siya tumuloy, I know for a fact that he'll preserve himself for the person he truly loves but due to what happened his now bound to me.
" If you think that I'm lying you can visit our estate, I have pictures and proof of the said curse. " Zaimi added, I don't need any proof. Zilas' actions are already enough to prove everything. Wala na akong choice, mabait naman sa akin at sa anak ko. With him obsessed with me alam kung hindi siya maagawa ng kahit sino.
" I'll marry him after a year of dating, I promise. " Just give me a year to know him better, a year to be free. Tumango ang kapatid ni Zilas habang napangiti naman ang ama niya, nong tiningnan ko ulit ang lalaking nasa tabi ko he was looking at me with his eyes sparkling in excitement. Hinawakan niya bigla ang dalawang kamay ko at nilapit 'yun sa baba niya.
" You promise?! " Tanong niya, naninigurado kung tama ba ang narinig niya sa akin.
" Y- yeah. " Wala naman akong choice 'di ba? Besides, I'm not going to complain. Zilas is already a total package, maging grateful nalang ako.
" I love you so much! " He jumped on me for a hug, it's a super tight one. Zilas was so close to me it gets to the point where he was sitting on my lap sideways in front of his dad, and I swear that his father is so close to killing me, especially his brother.
" Disgusting," his brother uttered and rolled his eyes. Tiningnan lang siya ng masama ni Zilas.
" Shut up, you're lovey dovey with your wife as well and I didn't give a fuck about it. " Sagot ni Zilas sa kapatid, may asawa na pala sila. So, si Zilas nalang ang hindi pa kasal.
" You always give a fuck, did you forget how you kick me out of the family dinner just because I won't stop looking at my wife? I'd definitely have you experience the same thing. "
" Oh, shut up. You're literally being annoying so I kicked you out, you know she thanked me for it. " Bulong ni Zilas sa kapatid habang nakangisi. Palagi bang ganito buhay nila? I never had a brother so I can't relate, wala akong kasama lumaki at halos wala pang time parents ko sa akin.
" Welcome to the family, Clio Stormhell. " Zaimi extended his hand for a handshake that I immediately took, he smiled at me and even patted my shoulder habang si Zilas naka kapit parin sa akin na parang unggoy.
" Papa! " Sigaw ng isang pamilyar na boses, tumingin ako sa gilid and saw Calliope running towards me with bread in her hand. Napatayo si Zilas at kinarga si Calliope nong makalapit sa amin. We untangled our handshake and Zaimi immediately poured all his attention on my daughter.
They stayed for about an hour before leaving my apartment, Zern apologized for punching me in the face and Zaven was sorry for banging on my door like they're breaking it. I told them it wasn't a big deal and just forgot about it. Zaimi Romaclov invited me in for a family dinner at their place next month, they asked me to bring Calliope so she could meet with her 'cousins'. Agad nila kaming tinanggap as part of their family, they were really warm and welcoming. Zern wasn't too bad, and Zaven was actually playful. In the short amount of stay they told me about their wives and kids, even the part of how Zilas is spoiled by both their parents and grandparents so sila na ang nanghihingi ng tawad in advance for how he might act.
