Zivalgo: Inlove with my nerdy wife

Coming Home

Dominique

In a few minutes we'll be landing at NAIA Philippines.......

The flight stewardess continued. Ganu na ba katagal bago ako umuwi ng Pilipinas. Siguro may 7 years na. I remembered the last time ako na nandito was the day I've decided to go with my biological granddad.

I was 14 then when he found me. Nalaman ko a week before ng birthday ko na adopted Lang pala ako. Sabi ni lolo matagal na niya daw ako hinahanap. I was 4 nang nawala ako at yun dn ang araw na namatay ang aking mga magulang.

He gave me a choice, and although masakit man sa akin iwanan ang mga magulang na nagpalaki sa akin, gusto ko din bigyan ng chance ang aking lolo.

Now I'm back, at dahil din yun sa kagustuhan ng matandang yun.

Flashback

"Dominique where are you?!" Bungay agad sakin pagkasagot ko ng phone ko.

"Well hello to you too lolo and to answer your question, kakalabas ko lng po sa business meeting na inutos niyo sa akin"

"Oh yes, of course alam ko yun"

"Asa kang matanda ! Ulianin Ka na talaga" Sabay tawa.

"Pogi naman" I heard him chuckled.

"Syempre Kaya nga sa inyo ako nagmana"

"Not gonna argue with that granddaughter. Anyways, come straight home, I have something to talk to you about"

"Yes popsy, be there in half an hour"

.......

"What?!" Napataas ang boses at napatayo ako sa upuan. Nandito ako ngaun sa study room niya at sa pagkabigla ko ay di ko na napigilan ang aking sarili.

"You heard me apo" kalmado niyang sagot while his hand on his chin. Half Filipino at half Russian si lolo but we live in the states. Sa kanya ko yata namana ang light brown coloured eyes ko.

"Lolo, please. I can't just marry someone. At isa pa babae din siya"

"Last time I've heard apo you're a lesbian like your other cousins"

"Then bakit hindi isa sa kanila?

"We Zivalgos always keep our words." Silence was between us. Napayuko nalang ako at hindi makatingin sa aking lolo. "Haaaay, apo ko. Listen, I'm sorry okay? But please don't hate your lolo for this. When your mom was pregnant with you, that's  when we made an agreement. And besides I think this will be good for you after..."

Tiningnan ko ang matanda ng masama.

"Okay apo ayaw mo siyang pag usapan, sorry. Pero move on. Okay? Do this for lolo, isa pa maganda ang nagiisang apo ng kumpare ko."

At ngumisi itong abot langit.

"Lolo, it doesn't matter what she looks like and matagal na po akong naka move on. Let's say I'll agree to this marriage with respect to our family honour, but do you think this girl will like me?"

"What's not to like apo? You're rich, successful, smart and most of all apo, you got my good looks" Sabay kindat matanda at hindi ko napigilang tumawa.

"Popsy you also forgot that I'm a big nerd. Pwed naman si Autumn dahil siya ang panganay sa amin."

"Aha but we all know the beauty and mischievousness behind your glasses and like I said it so happened na ikaw ang napagkasunduan ipakasal"
