"Para sunduin ang future wife ko." Napakunot naman 'yung noo ko sa sinabi niya.
"Excuse me?" I asked, looking at him weirdly. "Yeah, you heard me right." Sabi niya pa, confidently.
"Sa pagkakaalam ko, di po tayo and hindi po tayo engaged." I said, not trying to sound rude though I'm sure it sounded like it.
"We're nearly there." He said, taking steps para makalapit sa'kin. I stepped back a bit. "Uh, no. Hindi pa 'ko pumapayag sa set-up ni dad."
"I know. Pero parang may magagawa ka naman 'no?" Ang yabang talaga ng isang 'to. Nakakabwisit.
Pasalamat siya na hindi siya naririnig ng students, or else, sira na reputation niya ngayon.
I rolled my eyes and when I was about to walk away, bigla niya 'kong hinila papasok sa shot gun seat ng kotse niya.
"The hell?!" He slammed the door close and he walked around para makapasok sa driver's seat.
Akmang lalabas na sana ako, when he locked the car. "Ano ba, Mikael?!" This guy is legit getting on my nerves.
"Call me Kiel." He said, acting all cool. Na para bang hindi ako nagwawala sa harap niya.
"Okay, KIEL..." I said, emphasizing his goddamn name. "...can you just let me go? Nagpasundo ako sa driver ko, and I can't just bail on him."
"Looks like he's calling." He said as my phone ringed, my driver's name on the screen. I quickly answered it.
"Sorry po, ma'am. Sabi po ng dad niyo na susunduin daw po kayo ni Sir Mikael kaya hindi na po ako pupunta."
"Ah ganun po ba? Sige po. Salamat." I ended the call and looked at Kiel who is now smirking.
"So, ano daw?" Tanong niya pa na parang wala siyang alam. Of course, dad was involved with this.
"Wala. Tara na. Marami pa 'kong gagawin. Iuwi mo na 'ko." I said, buckling my seatbelt on.
"Yes, wifey." He said, as he started the engine. "Er, no. Don't call me that." He just shrugged and drove off.
. . .
"Yeah?" I greeted as I answered the call. Nandito lang ako sa room ko, doing all the assignments and reviewing some lessons.
"So, I've heard na galing daw si Mikael sa school." He sounded jealous. "Yeah, he was." I said, honestly.
"Sinundo ka daw." His tone was sad. Now, I feel guilty na sumama pa 'ko kay Mikael kanina, though I had no choice.
"Sorry. Hindi ko na nasabi sa'yo. Biglaan din kasi." I said, as I closed the textbook that I was currently reading.
"I won't really mind, basta sabihin mo sa'kin next time, okay?" He said, and I smiled, kahit alam kong 'di naman niya 'ko nakikita.
"Yes po."
Then, a knock was heard on my door. "Teka lang ah." I said, putting the phone on my bed, but not ending it.
Sinalubong naman ako ng isang maid. "Bakit po?" I asked. "Pinapatawag po kayo si Sir James sa office niya." I nodded and told her na sabihin kay dad na susunod na 'ko.
Bumalik naman ako sa kama ko and said goodbye to Zeus. Nagmadali naman akong pumunta sa office ni dad which was at the end of the hall.
He was sitting in front of his desk, scanning some business papers. Kumatok naman ako sa door, kahit medyo nakabukas 'to. I'm just informing him that I'm already here.
