Chapter 3.2: The secret behind the offer
Gramps’ POV
It has been two weeks after I “officially” met Kian. Such a funny lass, that girl. She relaxed immediately after calling me “Gramps” for the first time. Mabuti na lang at hindi niya naisip na baka may masama akong balak na masama sa kanya, like others would have thought. Buti na lang she’s different. That’s why I chose her to be the girl for my beloved apo.
No worries. I’ve done this before. I played matchmaker for my son Gilbert and my daughter, Silvia- both worked out splendidly. Mind you, I don’t interfere in their lives.
Gumagawa lang ako ng paraan pra magkakilala sila and then ayun na ! They just clicked! Ganyan din ang nangyari sa panganay ni Gilbert, ang aking unang apo, si Duncan. And now, I have twins for my first great grandchildren.
Well, enough of that.
Anyway, when I met Kian and had her back background checked (I was just double-checking if she has committed crimes or not.) I knew she’s just the right girl to tame my grandson, the cold-blooded playboy.
Palibhasa masyadong nabusog sa pagmamahal itong apo ko kaya madyo nagging wild na ata.
My apo, super sweet yan. He loves girls- but in general- as in collectively. Grabe sa pagka-playboy ang batang ire. Iba na din kasi pag alam na may hitsura ka.
Besides that, my grandson’s very athletic, intelligent, and talented. Nakakaproud tuloy! Halatang dugong Dominguez ang dumadaloy sa kanyang mga ugat !
Haha !! Pero kahit ganyan yan, napaka-cool yan. Siya yung tipo ng lalaki na tahimik lang. Sa mga taong malapit lang yan nakikipag-usap at nakikipagkulitan. Minsan nga, kahit samin, one to two sentences lang ang sinasabi niyan eeh. Ewan ko nga ba. Napaka-supladong bata tong apo ko pero napaka-playboy. Cold-blooded na. Playboy pa.
“Grandpa, you called for me?” my apo poked his head on the door.
“Yes, hijo. Come on in.”
He walked in and I can’t haelp but be proud of this young man in front of me.
He just came home from the States last month. Natapos na kasi niya ang kanyang pag-aaral sa Stanford University. For only two years, he’s already a bachelor in Political Science. I told you, he’s intelligent.
Just after, more or less, ten steps, he plopped down on the couch and sat comfortably while his feet were crossed at his ankles and his arms crossed in his chest.
“So, missed me already, Grandpa?”
“Not just me, dear boy. Your grandma, too.”
He chuckled. “I know. So, what’s up, grandpa? May importante ho ba kayong sasabihin?”
“As a matter of fact, hijo, yes. Since I want you to stay here with me and your grandma, instead at your parents’ home, I think you should know this. I have a very good friend who’s going to stay here for a while. She’ll be here for our company. So, the bottom line is- this is work. That is why I need you to be nice to her and please, apo, do not, I repeat, do not upset her. Got that?"
“Sus! Yun lang po pla eeh! When will this friend of yours arrive?”
“After a week” I smiled. By God ! These young people are up for some challenges …. And if I’m not mistaken, some romance !
