Days with the Dethroned Princess

Chapter 15 (Willing to take it for REAL)

Rheed's POV

"Mikaela? Are you still asleep?"

Kanina pa ako katok ng katok sa pinto ng kwarto pero di pa din sya rumerespond. I knocked again for a couple of times.

"Mikaela?"

It's already noon tulog pa sya? Tanghaling tapat na ah? Wala naman sigurong masama kong sisilip ako diba? To make it sure na tulog ba sya o ano.

I held the door knob and began to open the door slightly.

"Mikaela?"

Hindi pa din sya sumagot kaya I decided to open the door widely.

But there's no Mikaela? Where on earth did she go? Tinignan ko pag nasa banyo ba but it was open and no one is inside.

Tatawagan ko nalang siguro...

I dialed, her phone rang but she's not picking up...

Totoo kaya yung sinabi nya sakin kagabi? Is she really giving up? Walangya talaga ang kambal kong yun! I knew it! He's been messing with Mikaela kaya pala parang may something sa kanilang mga aura since the very first encounter I witnessed from them.

You are really giving me shits brother, I will not make this pass again, no not anymore!

THIRD PERSON's POV

Matapos matanto ni Rheed na ang kanyang kambal ang dahilan kung bakit tuluyang umalis si Mikaela sa teritoryo nya ay agad syang sumugod sa opisina nito. Pansin pa nga ng ibang mga tao ang pagsugod nya. Di na nya ginawa pang mag disguise, alam na naman ng mga tao na aalis na sya sa industriya ng pag aartista.

Pagkadating nya mismo sa office nito ay di na sya nagpatumpik-tumpik pa, sinumbatan na nya kaagad ang kambal na si Zero na sa ngayon ay abala sa pag pipirma ng mga documents ng company.

"Zero, hindi ka ba talaga titigil sa panggugulo sa buhay ko? Can't you live without torturing me brother? Di mo pa ba talaga tanggap ang nangyari several years ago? For God's sake bro, ang tagal na nun saka dalawa pa ngang business line ang binigay sayo ng Lolo diba? tigilan mo na ang kakainggit mo!"

He's holding his temper kahit gusto na nya itong sugurin ng suntok. Tinignan lang sya nito ng diretso at walang pagka emosyon.

"What are you talking about Louise? I expected for a great business news rather than a personal rant pero yan lang pala ang sasabihin mo? You're wasting my time brother, if you won't mind marami pa akong gagawin. You can go."

Mas lalo pang uminit ang ulo ni Rheed sa response ng kapatid. Napapikit na sya sa sobrang pagtitimpi samantalang wala paring pakialam si Zero.

"You're a selfish asshole Zero, I couldn't believe even after those prosperous years you had.. you're still here, like this, very envious and ruining my peaceful life. How pathetic for a wealthy young man of Sys" He gave him a sarcastic smirk.

Napasuntok ito sa desk at galit na lumapit kay Rheed.

"What the fuck did you just say? I'm envious? Until now you still believe that I was jealous of everything from you? Oh no, for the fucking sake, I'm not, I was not. Ano ba talaga ang sadya mo dito ha? I can't find your exact thoughts kasi masyado kang magulo."

Napatawa naman ng mahina si Rheed sa sinabi ni Zero.

"Yeah you can deny it like you always do. Pero sana di mo nalang dinamay si Mikaela." Kalmadong sumbat ni Rheed.

"That homeless woman? I see, you are ranting about your silly play with that woman? Bakit nyo nga ba yun ginawa Louise? Have you really gone mad? Alam mo namang mahirap kalabanin sina Mom and Dad dinamay mo pa ang babaeng yun?"

Rheed burst into a sarcastic laugh.

"What's this? You're showing concern kanino? Sakin ba o kay Mikaela? You know what? Di namin kailangan ang concern mo, we know what we are doing and we are ready for the consequences of our decisions, sana di ka nalang pumasok sa eksena bro para di kami ma dale. Bilib din ako sayo, nalaman mo pa talaga ang play."

"Of course I knew it brother, kilala ko ang babaeng yun at napaimposibleng bigla bigla mo nalang syang inaannounce na girlfriend mo sya. Sa totoo ngay nakakatawa ang pagiging immature mo eh, you're doing this for Audrey right?"

"I know you are clever Zero but what's in it for you? Ano bang pakialam mo kung yun nga ang dahilan ko?"

Napahugot ng malalim na hininga si Zero at tinapik ang balikat ng kapatid.

"Believe me brother, you're causing trouble for the both of Audrey and that Chelson girl, madadamay pa dito ang apelyido natin. Wag mo sanang kalimutang matinding magkakalaban sa business ang pamilya natin at ang Chelson. Stop making her your fake girlfriend dahil kapag malaman pareho ng Sys at Chelson na pagpapanggap lang ang lahat, you'll lose everything. "

"I'll take that as an advice Zero but to tell you if everything goes smooth then I am willing to take it for real. Fake girlfriend ko nga si Mikaela, FOR NOW. So stop acting like you're concern with other people's business brother cause I know that is not the real you."

And with that final statement iniwan na ni Rheed ang kapatid na napailing nalang.
