Family background
___________
Kinakabahan parin talaga ako sa mga lalakeng ito, palibhasa iniwan ako ng Ethan dito para daw mag ayos ng mga gamit nya sa taas.
"Do you know what trouble you got yourself into?" tanong ni kuyang nakasalamin.
Walang sinabi si Ethan kung sino sakanila ang Finn at Kyle e.
"Trouble?"
"Yes, A big trouble! do you know that the Crofford family is one of the influential families who owns the biggest casino in this country?" sagot naman ng pinsan ni kuyang nakasalamin.
Sino ba kasi sakanila si Finn at Kyle?
"Casino?!"
"Yes, not only in this country but also in China." sagot naman ni Drixtan.
"Diba illegal ang casino!?"
"No, they're not illegal. Some casinos are illegal if it was not approved by the government pero Crofford's Casinos are different." mahinahong sagot ni Maxx.
Hala, di lang pala si Shaun at Ethan ang afam na marunong mag tagalog? half pinoy din ba sila ni Drixtan? halata kasing ibang lahi talaga sila e.
"Crofford's Casinos have our families protection and connection. Never nagkaruon ng issue ang casino dahil wala ditong nangengealam, it's because of the Bieber family. Never din ito ginawang masamang balita sa TV o dyaryo sa tulong ng Buren family. At parami ng parami din ang mga pumupunta dito dahil sa tulong ng pamilya ko, the Tello family. Kaya nga ang lago ng casino nila e!" pagpapaliwanag ni Cristian ng may buong ngiti, halatang proud na proud sa sinabi nya.
"Cristian is right, Crofford family can be considered as one of the most powerful casino owners on this planet right now and also has the most powerful connection around them. It's obviously us." pagmamalaki ni kuyang madaldal na pinsan ni kuyang nakasalamin.
"Other than the two biggest casinos, they also owned 129 hotel buildings in 6 countries. How many are they in total?"
Sabay namang pag labasan ng cellphone ng mga afam
"Sex infinity!"
"No, it's 768 in total you idiot!"
"7.7.4"
"Yeah, it's actually 774 in total. What's wrong with your calculators?"
Nakakatawa man silang tignan dahil sa pagpapanik nilang unahan ng pagcompute ay pinili ko parin magseryoso.
Pano ako tatawa kung may-ari pala ng casino ang sinalihan kong pamilya!?
"Lan taon kana?" tanong ni Cristian na naka upo na pala malapit sakin at inoobserbahan ako.
"16."
"Weeehhh? sixteen? sure kana jan?"
Problema nitong pinoy nato, parang di sya pinaka maliit sakanila.
"Surprise, surprise, but that height can actually be considered as the average for a 16 years old girl in the Philippines." pagpapaliwanag ni Drixtan na pinapakita pa samin ang sinearch nya sa chatgpt.
"Dwarfs."
Pandalawa na yan ha! pandalawa na! inaano ko ba tong Maxx nato, pasalamat ka talaga anak ka ng politiko!
Hanggang pagnguso lang ang kaya kong gawin dahil baka maging katapusan kona kapag gumanti ako dito.
"Stop bullying her, Maxx. We have no idea what she suffers from her height, it must be tough, pity." pakikisawsaw ulit ni kuyang naka salamin.
