The Heiress: Love or Vengeance?

6 - Rj

"AHHHHHHH!!!!" I shouted as soon as i arrived in my office. "ANONG AKALA NYA SA SARILI NYA? SYA MAY-ARI NG MUNDO? DADATING SYA, TAPOS? GAGAWIN NYA AKONG ASAWA?! THE NERVE OF THAT COLD, UNBELIEVABLE MONSTER!"

"Sir?" Sam, rushed inside.

I breathe deep and calm myself.

"Cancel all my appointments today... call my cousin, sabihin mo pumunta sila sa bahay as soon as possible..."

"But Sir, you have a meeting with finance department later. You called this meeting coz of an urgent reason... ika cancel ko din po ba yun?"

"Tell them to prepare it first thing tomorrow. All i need now is rest Sam."

"Yes Sir."

He then left my office. I took some important things in my office and left.

Mabilis akong nagmaneho pauwi at sumalampak sa sofa.

"Susmaryosep ka namang bata ka! Bakit mo naman kinalat tong gamit mo? Aba Ricardo, hindi ka na bata!" My Yaya Ten said. She's with me since i was a kid. Aside from my family and Sam, she's also one of my trusted and loved people.

"Sorry Ya,."

"Ano bang nangyayari sayong bata ka ha? Hindi ka naman makalat ah..."

I sighed then i told her everything that happened that morning.

"Kaya ka ganyan ngayon?"

"Eh, Ya, sino ba naman ang hindi magkakaganito diba? Dagdagan pa ni Dad na hindi manlang humindi!"

"Anak, kilala ko ang Daddy mo. Kaibigan nyang matalik si Mr. Mendoza. Isa ang Daddy mo sa mga nagluksa sa pagkamatay nya. Mabuting tao ang pamilya nila. Kaya ganoon nalang din ang bigla namin ng malaman naming namatay sya. Tsaka bakit hindi mo muna subukang kilalanin ang dalaga."

"Ya?! Pati ba naman ikaw?" Di makapaniwala kong tanong.

"Anak, Intindihin mo, mula sa batang isip nya nakaukit parin ang sakit ng pagkawala ng Daddy nya, at ang masakit pa doon ay sa harap nya pa mismo nangyari ang malagim na pangyayaring yun. Ikaw nga noong bata ka eh halos pumatay ka ng aksidenteng masagi ng sasakyan ng kapitbahay natin ang alaga mong aso, sya pa kaya na pinatay sa harapan nya mismo ang ama nya?"

"Pero Ya, ang daming tao sa paligid, gusto nya ihanap ko pa sya, wag lang ako!"

"Anak, sabihin na nating mdami pang lalaki sa mundo pero isipin mo ah, bakit pa sya maghahanap ng iba kung anjan ka namang anak ng kaibigan ng Daddy nya? Anak, maaaring pinili ka nya dahil gusto nya lang o di kaya pinili ka nya dahil mas kumportable sya sayo."

"Ewan ko Ya... basta ayoko sa kanya!"

"Rj, anak, kailangan nya ang tulong mo tsaka sabi mo nga, sabi nya pwede mong gawin ang lahat ng gusto mo kahit kasal na kayo, your free! Klarong ring sinabi nyang apelyedo mo lang ang gusto nya at wala ng iba. At tsaka bakit ba ayaw na ayaw mo sa kanya? Hi di ba sexy and beautiful?"

"Ya! Ano ba namang tanong yan? Seryoso ako dito eh..."

"Wag mo ko sigawan! Mas matanda ako sayo!" Sigaw naman sakin ni Yaya.

"Kayo naman kasi may kasalanan Ya eh."

"Aba Ricardo, . ."

"Ya, sorry na po... sorry please..."

"Anak, eto seryosong tanong... hindi ba talaga sya kagandahan na parang nandidiri ka sa kanya?"

"Ya, akam mo namang di ako ganyang tao di ba? I'm more into the girl's attitude and personality than her beauty! Tsaka after what she did? Kumukulo lang ang dugo ko kapag naiisip ko sya!"

"Alam mo anak hindi allergy o pandidiri ang tawag jan."

"Ano po?"

"TMYHTMYL syndrome!"

"Po?"

"T - M -Y - H - T - M - Y - L!"

"Ano namang sakit yun Ya? Ngayon ko lang ata narinig yan ah!"

"Sakit ng mga taong in denial anak!"

"Ya naman eh..."

"Tama naman ang sinasabi ko eh... basta pustahan tayo, may tama ka doon kaso."

"In her dreams Ya."

"Hay Ricardo... paniwalaan mo ang gusto mong paniwalaan, basta sinabihan na kita..."

Yaya Ten said and left. I then walk to my room, slumped on my bed and slept.

I'm closing my eyes yet her face is what i'm seeing, hanggang sa makatulog na ako. Nagising nalang ako sa sunod sunod na katok sa pintuan ng kwarto ko. Tinatamad akong tumayo at binuksan ang pinto revealing my cousins.

"Kuya!" All of them said after they all slumped down the floor.

"Ouch..." Kenneth.

"What are you doing?" I said with a scowl. They all stands up and fave me with their nervous grins.

"We are just... were just waiting for you to open the door Sir..." Jon

"Stop calling me Sir, we are off work now."

"Yes Kuya!" The boys said

"So... why are you late? I ordered Sam to call you as soon as possible."

"Kuya, ang sabi mo gawin namin ng mabuti ang trabaho namin, so we finished everything first before we left." Miggy

I just sighed. Did i really trained them well?

"Wait for me downstairs. I'll just change."

They disappear in front of me in an instant. I then change and went down to join them.

"Dinner's ready. Kain na tayo Kuya." Tommy

Tahimik kaming kumain, walang usapang naganap hanggang sa pagkatapos namin.

"I brought some drinks. I hope you open up to us Kuya." Jon

"Don't mind me just enjoy."

Nag umpisa narin kaming mag-inuman.

Kenneth's POV

After some time of drinking and talking, napansin kong parang may tama na si Kuya RJ. He is different from what he really is when we are together. I then look at Jon and whispered:

"Do you think Kuya Rj's fine?"

"He looks different, i think there's something going on." Jon answered

"Should we ask?"

"I think... para naman kahit kunti matulungan natin sya kung ano man yan..." Jon

we were silent for a while until he took another can of beer.

"Wait. Wait... Kuya, i think you should stop drinking now."

"I can still handle Kenneth. Don't mind me." He said as he tried to rake the can from me

"For the nth time around, i'll ask you Kuya. Is there something bothering you?"

We then heard his deep breathing and sigh.

"I take that as a yes... mind sharing it to us?"

"It's just i met an annoying girl this morning and she's making my life turns to hell..."

He then leaned to his chair and started telling us everything. We saw how updet he is with their situation and we saw how he hated this "COLD UNBELIEVABLE MONSTER" as he address her.

Poor kuya RJ. Mukhang nakakita na sya ng katapat nya.

The COLD UNBELIEVABLE MONSTER and the STRICTLY SERIOUS BEAST!

What a great pair!
