When Will You Start Bending Your Own Rule (kilig luha at saya ng umiibig book 2)

When will you start bending your own rule (part 2)

"Okaay" alanganin ang ngiti ni Jensen sa kapatid "Stop acting like Winchester & Son's law firm won't survive without me." Bahagya pang ikinunot ng gwapong abogado ang noo sabay sabing "Dad has you and Jess, we both know you are a better lawyer than me." Kumindat pa si Jensen kay Jared sabay turo sa kapatid.

"There is no argument with that." conceited na sagot naman ni Jared sa kanyang kuya na para namang ikinagulat ni Jensen dahil umayon agad ang kapatid sa kanya. "Hey, you said it not me." Warning ni Jared kay Jensen dahil mukhang hindi naman sincere ang kanyang kuya ng sabihing he's a better a lawyer than him at bago pa mabawi ng kanyang kuya ang statement ay itinuloy nya ang pagsasalita. "Are you going to take the offer of Boston Legal and move there in Boston?"

"That's how usually it works, how I can have the job if I don't move there. I want a career change." Nag-flash ng confident look si Jensen at isinandal ang likod sa sofa.

"A career change?" nakangiting sabi ni Jared "Really?" tumaas ang dalaway kilay ni Jared.

"Yeah!" mayabang na nagkibit balikat si Jensen kasabay ng mayabang na ngiti. "I think I can be one of the best lawyers in Boston, I'm a Winchester right?"

"It's worth it!" sabi naman ni Sebastian.

"You mean, I'm worth it?" pagtatama ni Jensen sa sinabi ng kanyang Daddy, hindi pa rin nawawala ang mayabang na ngiti ng gwapong binatang abogado.

"Yes you are." Seryosong sabi ng kanyang ama "But I'm not talking about your capability or worth and I have no doubt you could be the best lawyer kahit saan ka pa mapunta." Hindi iniaalis ni Sebastian ang seryosong tingin sa panganay na anak. "It's worth it..." bahagyang tumigil si Sebastian sa pagsasalita ng magsalubong ang kilay ni Jensen dahil hindi nito makuha ang ibig nyang sabihin ay nagpatuloy si Sebastian "That's my answer to your question if your Mom is worth choosing over my career. Yes it is and I don't regret that decision." Nagpakawala ng comforting smile si Sebastian.

"Mom, loves you." Matamlay na sagot ni Jensen sa ibig sabihin ng ama.

"And Charley doesn't love you?" sagot naman ni Sebastian.

Hindi umiimik si Jensen, tahimik naman si Jared. "Son!" lumipat ng upo si Sebastian sa tabi ng panganay na anak, tinapik ni Sebastian ang balikat ng anak at sinabing "You think Charley doesn't love you?"

"Dad, this isn't just about love..." Malumanay na sagot ni Jensen sa ama.

Itinaas ni Sebatian ang hintuturo para awatin ang anak sa pagsasalita "Do you love Charley?" tanong ni Sebastian.

"Yes I do." Mabilis na sagot naman ni Jensen.

Ngumiti si Sebastian "Charley loves you." Nanunutil na sabi ng batikang abogado sa anak.

Magkasabay na iling at pag-ikot ng dalawang mata lamang ang sagot ni Jensen.

"Dad is telling the truth, we heard Charley said that with the rest of the Gladiators." Nakangiting dugtong ni naman ni Jared. "Remember, Dad and I went there a couple of weeks ago para sa isang kaso na pagtutulungan sana ulit ng dalawang firm, we heard Charley admit she loves you."

"So what, it's supposed to change anything?" nailing na sagot ni Jensen.

"Of course it does!" mabilis na sagot naman ni Sebastian "You love her, she loves you, so what's the problem?"

"Like I said, this is not about just love, there are so many things to consider." Paliwanag naman ni Jensen.

"Like your fear na baka masaktan ka lang ulit." Seryosong sabi ni Jared.

"Yes!" sagot naman ni Jensen.

"Son, pag nagmahal hindi nawawala ang sakit..."hindi na pinatapos ni Jensen ang sasabihin ng ama "Don't give me that cliché Dad, please." Nakikiusap na putol ni Jensen.

"I know that already." Tumayo si Jensen sa kinauupuan "And I've been there, and to be honest I want to take that risk again..." palakad-lakad si Jensen habang nagsasalita "To bend our rule at masaktan ulit." Huminto si Jensen sa paglalakad at seryosong tumingin sa ama at sa kapatid. "But I don't know." Parang nanghihinang inokupa ni Jensen ang single seat na inookupa ng kanyang Daddy kanina. "I don't know if I do that I will do the right thing, pano kung hindi, pano kung hindi sapat ang pag-ibig?" seryosong tanong ni Jensen.

"What else is matter?" tanong naman ng daddy nyang si Sebastian.

"Pride, dream, career!" si Jared ang sumagot sa tanong ng kanilang Daddy. "Jensen is feared to tell Charley he loves her because she might dump him again. And Jensen doesn't want Charley to think na kaya nya tatanggapin ang offer sa Boston eh dahil sa nag-turn down si Charley na mahalin sya. It will hurt his ego kaya mas magandang huwag na lang sabihin ang nararamdaman at takasan ang katotohanan." Pinukol ng naiinis na tingin ni Jared ang kanyang Kuya.

Iniiwas naman ni Jensen ang tingin sa kapatid dahil sapol na sapol ni Jared ang itinatakbo ng kanyang isip.
