Thirty* (PART 5)

 

AISHA’s POV

Ang sama nang umaga ko.

“Senyorita Clay.. Pwede na po kayong pumasok sa loob.” Sabi nang katulong. Inis na inihakbang ko ang paa ko papasok sa mini-office na yun.

Bakit masama ang umaga ko? E kasi naman, imbis na nanunuod ako nang awarding of trophies ngayong araw, eto ako.. nasa mansion nang lola ko. Nagising na lang ako kaninang umaga na nasa baba na ang dalawang katulong nang lola ko. Ipinasusundo ako.

Hindi ko alam kung ano na namang balak nito.

She was sitting in her mighty swivel chair. Even though she was my grandmother, I hated her. Well, that was a fact from the very beginning, doesn’t it?

“Sit down.” She said, not even saying good morning to me. Tss.

Umupo naman ako. Masunurin ako e. Luminga-linga ako. Wala dito si lolo, ibig sabihin.. Madugong laban ito? Walang pipigil sa lahat nang sasabihin niya e. hayyy -___-

“Ano PONG sasabihin niyo at ipinatawag niyo pa PO ako dito?”

“I just want you to meet your fiancée.” Kalmadong sabi nito kahit na ganun ang iniasal ko pero napatayo ako sa sinabi niya.

“ANOOOOO??”

“What? Your mother was engaged at the age of thirteen. You’re sixteen now, soon to be seventeen, so what’s the point of delaying it? hmm.”

I look at her with much frustration. But then something puzzled me.

“Wait, did you just said that my mom has been engaged? To whom? I knew it wasn’t my father. Who is he?”

She smirk. “You’re just changing the subject.” Tumayo ito. “Wala na ang lalaking yun so there’s no point of telling you who he was.” Ipinatunog nito ang bell. Bumukas ang pinto. Pumasok ang isang lalaking pamilyar na pamilyar sa akin.

Nanlalaki ang mata at natakpan ko ang bibig ko. Don’t tell me, HE IS MY FIANCEE?

“Now now.. I will like to introduce you to your future husband. He is Edcel Cantos.”

“Hi Aisha.” Ngumiti naman sa kaniya si Edcel na parang wala lang ang sinabi ng lola niya dito. Paanong nangyari ang bagay na to?
