Caressing The Mighty One (Heavenly Harmonies Series #3)

Chapter 33

Hello. Thank you for reading.

My second day. The wide sliding door of my veranda was opened, giving me the view of the usual morning breeze of Azagra.

Nanatili ako sa kama, pinagmamasdan ang mabagal na paggalaw ng mga ulap, humahawi para sa pagdating ng Araw.

A small table was in front of me. There are cereal, milk, bread and other utensils. I must visit Jenny today in their house after my work from Hacienda Solegracia.

Ngumuso ako. I should be prepared for the unexpected moments would've come. Ah, yes, like what happened yesterday. That brute!

Umiling ako sa sarili. Inabot ang kopita ng kape bago sumimsim doon. My brother didn't gave me a warning or a notice!

He had just allowed that Javelarozque to roam around the hacienda like he's the one who's managing it. At ano iyong sinasabi niyang pagmamay-ari na lupa?

I thought he was bluffing but he seems not. I gritted my teeth. Hatred and dismay filled my heart. I ate my breakfast as thought

I took a bath, wore my usual working clothes. And I just smiled sheepishly when I saw myself again in front of a wide mirror. Now, I am back again as the sole haciendera.

"Good morning po," I greeted my parents and kissed their cheeks.

They were eating their breakfast on the dining table. Kuya Kevin was outside, combing his stallion. I bid my goodbyes to Mom and Dad as I headed off to where my new horse resides.

Abednego was having his meal also. Delicious and nutritious grasses given out by the precious nature. Inakay ko ang aking bagong kabayo palabas ng kuwadra.

Kuya Kevin whistled then hummed. I arched my one brow and scoffed. I was patting and fondling the head of my horses.

"Rajancho reported unto me yesterday. He said that you bathed well the horses," he chuckled.

Umismid ako. I striked him my glares. He lazily threw me a blank gaze as a response.

"When did you two became so close? You even let him resides on our hacienda! And oh, he said that he owned a land there. Why, giving me confusing welcomings, Kuya!"

He laughed loudly as his two hands raised in the air. Suminghap ako at pumikit nang mariin.

"He's my girlfriend's brother, that's why," he casually said.

I turned my head on him, now bewildered. I licked my lower lips at sarkastikong tumawa.

"And so? That was not a valid reason to give him a pass, Kuya. At saan sa Hacienda ang lupang sinasabi niya? Bakit hindi ko alam?"

My brother stopped combing his stallion's hair. Ipinatong ang isang braso sa katawan ng kabayo at ipinilig ang ulo.

"Bakit ba tila galit na galit ka kay Rajancho? Thought you were good friends who treated each other dearly than lovers," he said, amused.

"And about the land. Nakalimutan marahil sabihin sa iyo ni Lolo Basilio na ang katabing lupa malapit sa tubuhan ay parte ng pagmamay-ari ng mga Javelarozque. Mga mais ang itinanim doon."

My forehead knotted. Wala nga akong natatandaan na sinabi iyon ni Lolo Basilio. Umabot pala roon ang sakop ng mga Javelarozque?

Muli kong ibinalik ang tingin kay Kuya Kevin. His teasing smirk reminds me of those old days before. Nilalagyan na naman niya ng malisya at kahulugan ang lahat. When in fact, there's no sense at all!

"Dearly than lovers? I told you, haven't I? Magkaibigan lamang kami. At noon 'yon, Kuya. Rajancho had his sweetheart now," kumulo ang dugo ko.

At hindi pa nakatulong ang tunog ng aking tono. Bitterness was evident on it, spreading freely as the thought of it came on my mind.
