Bunch of MENDOZAs

Prologue

Xyzzy's POV

"Good evening sir." Magalang kong bati nang makapasok na 'ko sa office ni Mr. Romenick Mendoza.

Tumayo naman siya at itinuro ang upuan sa harap niya.

Sa totoo lang hindi ako makapaniwala sa itsura niya. This is my first time seeing him in person. I mean, he's too gorgeous for his age. Lalo na siguro noong kabataan niya.

Mr. Romenick Mendoza is the man who'd been helping me since my grandfather, my only family, died four years ago. He helped me study and supported me financially. After graduating from senior high school, he enrolled me in one of the most expensive and luxurious universities in the Philippines- Greenfield University. And I later found out that THEY own that school. I am already in my third year in college this upcoming school year, and no words can express my gratitude for all his help.

I knew that he is American, Filipino, and Mexican. No wonder ganito siya kagwapo. Surely his whole clan is as gorgeous as him.

Last week, right after my last day as a sophomore college student, I received a phone call from him. He asked me for a favor that needs to be discussed in person.  And that's why I'm here in front of him. 

Talaga namang lumipad pa 'ko dito sa New York, USA. Dahil sa favor na 'to napadpad din ako sa New York at nasampal ako ng kahirapan nang magkaroon ako ng "glimpse" sa kung gaano sila kayaman. I never expected that this kind of wealth is really possible to attain. Akala ko sa movies lang ang ganito kayaman na mga tao. I knew their clan is rich but not THIS wealthy. 

Dahan dahan naman akong umupo sa itinuro niya at hinintay ang sasabihin niyang iba.

"How are you hija?" He asked with a smile.

"I'm fine sir. And I wanna thank you personally for everything. Third year college na po ako this next school year." I said sincerely.

He shrugged with a smile. "Wow, that's good news. Kailan lang noong bata ka pa. And don't mention it darling. Your grandfather was one of the nicest and most brilliant man I've known. Hindi kayang bayaran ang mga ginawa niya para sa akin noon." He leaned his elbows on his perfectly polished ebony wooden table. "By the way, the favor I am about to ask is a bit too much. And I hope you will say agree."

"Name it sir. Surely, it's a yes." I honestly answered.

Kahit pa anong favor 'yon. Simpleng bagay kapalit ng mga tulong niya.

May sasabihin pa sana siya pero biglang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang dalawang lalake na magkamukhang magkamukha; they are twins. They are at their 30's maybe? O baka bata lag silang tignan. But God, they are so good looking. 

Agad naman akong tumayo nang makalapit sila. 

"What was that dad? You made a decision without confronting us." Seryosong sabi ng mas malakas ang dating.

So mga anak niya pala ang mga ito. Silly. Hindi ko sila kilala manlang. Though I hear news about them.

"What's wrong with it? Nakuha ko ang 'oo' ng mga asawa niyo. Even your brother's wife agreed, and Zharina." Kalmadong sagot ni Mr. Nick.

"Why the women? Why not us? It's about our sons." Sagot naman ng isa.

"Because you will say 'no'.  Aside from that... They are my grandsons. Why not?"
