Laws of Attraction

Laws of Attraction: 17

           

As days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, RJ, Maine, Drei and Jing are being buried to a ton of work. They have been doing overtimes four times a week and they are being noticed by the media as well. What, with the personalities involved in the case, it's really just a matter of time before their faces get flashed on the news left and right.

As the time goes by, Maine and Drei also became close. Drei's been very attentive to Maine and her needs as well. This didn't go unnoticed to RJ as well to his brothers and the Mendoza boys. One afternoon, RD, RK, Nico and Dean were in a conference room.

"Bro, ano na?"

"Ha? Anong ano na?"

"Ano na progress sa pustahan natin?"

"Wala pa. Ang bagal ni RJ eh."

"Uu nga. Ewan ko ba don kay RJ. Twing magkakasama naman kame, laging kasama sa kwento niya si Meng."

"Eh, si Meng ba nababanggit si RJ?"

"Minsan. Madalas pag napipikon na siya. Hahaha."

"Ano ba naman yan kuya RD, ano ba dapat nating gawin dyan kay RJ para kumilos."

"Ewan ko nga. Minsan nga pinariringgan ko na siya na si Atty. Roberts nagiging close na kay Menggay eh."

"Hoy! Ang daya niyo ha." Nico said. "Nilalayo nga naming si Menggay kay Atty. Roberts eh."

"Hahaha.... Kanya kayang diskarte lang pala tayo eh. Paunahan na lang kung sino ang unang magsusucceed satin. Hahaha..."

"Basta ako sure ako kameng Faulkerson ang mananalo."

"Hindi din. Mendoza boys for the win Bro!"

"Mendoza, Mendoza, Mendoza!!!" both Nico and Dean chanted.

"Faulkerson, Faulkerson, Faulkerson!!!" RD and RK countered.

At that moment, Theo and Richard Sr, entered the conference room.

"What's happening here?" Theo asked the boys.

"Tay, kanina pa po kayo dyan?" Nico asked.

"Dad!" RD said at the same time.

""Ano yan na para kayo nag rarally that you're chanting our surnames?"

"Ah kase Dad. May pustahan kame nila Nico."

"Pustahan? Anong pustahan yan?"

"Tay, pustahan between RJ and and Menggay." Dean answered.

"Pinag pupustahan niyo ang kapatid niyo?" Theo asked.

"Ah, eh Tay... Kase..."

"What bet is this?" Richard Sr, asked.

"Dad, the bet is, who will first fall in love to the other between the two." RK answered.

"What do you mean?"

"Well Dad, Nico and Dean bet that it will be Maine who will first fall in love with RJ. While, me and RK believes it will be RJ who will first fall for Meng."

"So, who's having advantage at the moment?"

"Yon nga Dad eh, wala."

"Anong prize niyan?"

"Tay, one week sa Maldives plus the pro-bono of the winning team will be covered by the losing team." Dean snickered.

"Bakit kasama ang pro-bono?" Theo asked.

"Eh kase..."

"Okay lang yan. Pero wag niyo idamay ang pro-bono cases niyo." Theo said.

"Pero Tay..." Nico was about to reason out.
