Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Kabadong-kabado ako habang nakaupo sa mahabang lamesa katabi si ma'am Poly. Hindi ko akalaing seryoso siya nang imbitahan akong sumabay sa tanghalian. Nakangiti ang nanay sa akin habang nakatayo sa harapan ko, sa likod ng dalawang lalaking kanina pa nakatingin sa akin.

I can feel their curiousity towards me, kung sino ako at bakit kasama ako sa hapag na ito.

Sinubukan kong tumanggi kay ma'am Poly pero pinilit ako nito. She kept on telling me that her sons will like me but I doubt that right now. Lalo na ang isa, he looks so off.

Ngiting-ngiti ito habang palipat-lipat ang tingin sa akin at sa mga anak. Her husband, sir Arsen looks happy that his wife is happy too. Tila wala na itong pakialam sa ibang bagay basta masaya ang asawa. Ibang-iba ang dalawang lalaki sa harapan ko na kapwa may malalamig na mata at seryosong mga mukha.

"This is Adrianna, anak ng nanay Lana ninyo."

Lumingon ang isa kay nanay, "Really 'nay? She's your daughter?" Saka ito tumingin sa akin, ngayon ay bahagyang lumambot ang ekspresyon.

Ngumiti si nanay, "Oo hijo." She looks so proud of me.

"Hi, I'm Alistair, call me Air for short." Natulala ako nang ngumiti ito. I didn't expect someone as rich as them to smile at a poor person like me. Hindi ako makapaniwala.

Tinignan ko ang katabi niya subalit tila wala itong pakialam sa nangyayari. He's silently eating his meal at hindi na nag-abalang mag-angat pa ng tingin sa akin.

Nagsimula na rin kaming kumain. Hindi ako makakain ng maayos dahil naiilang akong kumain habang ang nanay ko ay nakatayo lamang, sinusulyapan ko ito palagi.

Marahil ay napansin iyon ni sir Alistair, nagulat ako nang padaluhin nito ang apat na katulong kasama si nanay sa lamesa.

"Please join us, I can see that Adrianna here is uncomfortable having you watch us while eating." He turned to my direction and smiled.

Tila may mainit na tubig na natapon sa loob ng aking dibdib. I am so touched with this family's kindness, hindi ko lubos maisip na ganito pala talaga sila kabait.

Sumabay na kumain sa amin ang mga kasambahay, masaya silang lahat. Nilingon ko si nanay sa tabi ko na mukhang masaya rin. Nginitian ko siya, masaya na ako kung masaya siya. That is the only thing that can pacify my heart.

"How's business Axl?" Tanong ni Sir Arsen sa unang lalaki.

Nag-angat ito ng tingin, his dark menacing eyes looked naturally normal. I noticed his hard features, ang matangos nitong ilong at makapal na kilay, ang madidilim na mga mata. He looks inhumanly handsome o kung may mas intense pa sa salitang iyon. But there's something in him I can't fathom, like he's a mixture of elegance and something else, something dark.

"Everything's fine dad. I will be in BGC this week for a meeting with our investors." And his voice is so deep and manly, like coming from grave, malamig at baritono.

"Why don't you let Alistair take care of that? You can have a short break, you've been busy lately."

Sir Alistair nodded beside him, looking expectant. His facial features are just like that of his brother, the eyes, nose, his jaw and his eyebrows. But what differentiates him is that he has a softer aura, something comfortable, something white.

"I can handle it dad, he's busy reviewing some proposals."

"Atleast take me with you so I can help you with the minutes."

"I can handle the minutes." His voice sounded final, na tila wala nang makakapagpabago ng isip niya kapag nakapag-desisyon na.

Sir Alistair chuckled, tumingin ito sa mommy niya na katabi ko lamang. "Mom my brother is a robot." He joked. Natawa naman ang mommy't daddy niya.
