Chapter 2: chaos (Part One)

Mavis' POV
"Ate! Ate! Someone is ringing the doorbell!" sigaw sa akin ni Ire.
      
The doorbell is furiously continuing to ring. Nasa kusina ako at gumagawa ng breakfast ng aking dalawang anak.

Nagmamadali kong ibinaba ang bowl at tinanggal ang apron saka iyon inilagay ng maayos sa counter bago ako tumakbo palapit sa pintuan. Binuksan ko iyon at nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makasalubong ng aking mga mata ang isang pamilyar na mukha.

"Can I... come in?"

"Ate, who is it?" rinig kong tanong ng aking kapatid. Napatingin ako sa kanya. Kumunot ang kanyang noo at lumapit sa tabi ko. Kapagkuwan ay tinaas ang isa niyang kilay at naghalukipkip. "Are you the sister of my sister's long-year ex-cheater boyfriend?" tanong niya.

Friar just smiled. "Can I come in?" tanong niya ulit Tatango na sana ako at papasukin siya nang biglang magsalita si Ire.

"Excuse me but we are only opening our doors for guests who are non-Furrers. If you are a Furrer, you shall not come into our property 'cause maybe, just maybe, you have something in your sleeves to make my sister go through that awful pain again. So if you still have a delicadeza in your blood, then go shift your body out of here. There's the, um, way out of here," turo ni Ire sa labas. 

"Ire!" sigaw ko sa kanya. "She is a friend of mine."

"Was your friend. She's still a Furrer right? So, I don't give sorrys to my sister's ex-friends. Anyone who hurt her will be my enemy. I don't care if you two became friends again but I don't want to see your face here when you have the blood of that cheater." 

I rolled my eyes and smiled at Friar. "Sorry, Fri. You heard my sister. She's a bit... overprotective.

"I could really see that." She smiled at Ire. "You're really a great child, aren't you? Your sister raised you well."

Humalukipkip siya at tinarayan si Friar. "And I think you should go now. I don't receive compliments from people who hurt my sister."

"I think you are forgetting something though, my dear."

"And what is it?"

"That I'm not a Furrer anymore. Mavis?" Lumingon siya sa akin at napatingin rin sa akin si Ire.

"Uh, Ire. She's a Freed now. She's already married."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ng kapatid ko at napatakihim. "O-Oh, really? Then, you should come in." Then, she gave Friar a sharp look. "But don't hurt my sister. Got it?"

Friar laughed and smiled. "Got it."

Napailing-iling ako at malawak na binuksan ang pinto. Ngumiti naman si Friar sa akin at tumuloy sa bahay ko. 

"Maupo ka," sabi ko at itinuro ang upuan. Malapit lang ang living room sa main door kaya naman kita agad iyon

Nakatingin pa rin pataas si Friar habang nakaawang ang bibig at nagliliwanag ang mata. "Ang ganda naman dito," pagkokomplimento niya saka umupo sa upuan. Iniligay niya ang kanyang bag sa glass table. "Hindi man mas malaki kung ikukumpara sa bahay namin pero ayos na rin."

"Thank you," sabi ko at saka umupo na rin sa tapat na upuan na kinauupuan niya "Paano mo nalaman ang address ko?"

"I asked Dad about it. I told him I met you here and I desperately want to know your address. I'm not spying on you I swear." I laughed. "Gusto ko lang naman makita kung saan ka nakatira dito sa London." Ngumiti siya. "So, musta naman?"

"Living my best life with Tita Helen, Irelia, and two lovely kids."

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Two kids? I thought na ang stepmother mo at ang stepsister mo lang ang kasama mo plus Ruxinaire as your bodyguard? Who are the two kids?"
