Rings & Bullet

Chapter 10

Russel Rayos Del Sol

Two days had passed since Esmee and I went on a date. I've been busy with work, I only text and call her once in a while. Since that day, our relationship with each other has improved. And yesterday, Dad and Mom called me because they found out that I'm already married on paper. Dad scolded me for what I did and said it was embarrassing for his friend. But Esmee's Dad and I are on good terms. So, it's not a big deal.

Buti nga 'yon lang ang nalaman nila, kung nalaman din nila na hinabol kami ng mga tauhan ni Arnault sa unang date namin ni Esmee, ay talagang walang katapusang sermon ang abot ko kay Dad. Good thing na na-actionan agad nina Sebastian at Viperi ang mga humahabol sa'min, if Arnault plotting something again on us, 'di na ako tatahimik at talagang bibigyan ko siya ng gulo.

Anyway, I'm at my office here in my house, facing the laptop because my work is piled up when my secretary from Vegas forwarded a message to my email. An email from my sister, whom I blocked yesterday out of annoyance. And since baka importante, binasa ko ang email kahit ayaw ko.

Hi, brother.

Please unblock me.

I didn't tell them anything, I promise. I've changed and I'm now a good girl. Please forgive me. :(

And I have a suprise for you. :)

I clicked the image and my jaw dropped. She's here! She's in this house. Oh, God. Anong ginagawa rito ng kapatid ko? I picked up my phone that was lying on the table and immediately unblocked my sister's number so I could call her.

Nagring lang ng limang beses ang tawag ko bago niya sagutin.

“Hi, Kuya.”

“Where are you, Ericka? And what are you doing here in Pinas? You're supposed to stay in Macau!”

“Oh, are you mad? I just want to surprise you.” Bumukas ang pinto ng office ko at niluwa ang aking kapatid na may ngiti sa labi. “Suprise, Kuya!”

“Fuck.” I cursed under my breathe. Masama ang kutob ko rito. Knowing Ericka, paniguradong may pinaplano siyang 'di maganda. My sister, Ericka, is the youngest. She's spoiled and have a wicked attitude. And since, she's here, 'di ko siya agad mapapaalis.

“You're cursing! Very bad!” she closed the door and sat on the sofa. “"You don't want me here, Kuya? I'm a good girl na so don't worry.”

“Good girl? Hell, maniwala.”

Wala sa vocabulary niya ang maging mabait. Nako, saulo ko na ang ugali niyang 'yan. Kung 'di ko lang siya kapatid, matagal ko na siyang pinatapon sa kung saang Lugar na malayo sa'kin. She loves to tease me. Since I'm her big brother, minsan eh nasunod siya sa mga utos ko pero madalas hindi.

“Alam ba nina Dad na nandito ka?”

“Nope. Tumakas ako.” nako po, sa'kin ang bagsak nito. “I just want to have a vacation and since you are here, dito na ako nagpunta. And it's so hot in here, huh? Tamang-tama, gusto ko magpaka-tan skin.”
