Being Mrs. Monteverde

38

Helaina's POV

Isang buwan na rin simula nung makapagadjust kami dito sa syudad. Sa makalawa susunod na si Ling at Andy magaaral sila dito, nagpaiwan naman kasi muna sina Nanay at Tatay mas gusto kasi nila ang buhay doon du tulad dito na maingay. Malungkot man na magkakahiwahiwalay nanaman kami ay nirespeto ko nalang ang didesyon nila.

Ito na nga at first day na ng mga bata sa school na papasukan sa kanila si Kanvin na ang maghahatid sa kanila. Sunod-sunod na kasi ang naging trabaho ko minsan nga ay nawawalan na ako ng oras sa kanila buti nalang ay nandyan si Kanvin sa kanya ko naiiwan ang mga bata. Di ko nga kung nakakapagtrabaho pa siya lagi kasi siyang bakante ang sarap sigurong maging boss.

"Helaina/ Tita" Magkapanabay na tawag ni Kanvin at Kathlaine.

Ngiting-ngiting sinalubong ako ni Kathlaine ng yakap kaya tinugunan ko din ito ng mahigpit na yakap na may matamis na ngiti.

Kathlaine is so sweet I can't help but to fall in love with her. Kahit na may pagkabrat siya sometimes na laging pinagaawayan nila ni Klave pero nahahandle naman siguro ay masyado lang siyang inispoiled ni Kanvin.

Yun nga din minsan ang pinagkakasagutan naming dalawa dahil sa masyado siyang maraming binibili para sa mga bata at kung minsan ay yung mga sobrang mamahaling bagay na dapat ay di pa pwede sa bata tulad ng laptops, cellphones, at tablets. Oo may 'S' dahil tag iisa talaga silang tatlo kahit nga ako meron. Kung minsan naman ay hindi baba sa sampung paper bags ang dala nito para sa laruan, damit, chocolates, candies at mga paborito nilang pagkain. Diyos ko halos sumakit ang ulo sa konsimisyon dahil di talaga ito nakikinig at binabawasan nalang ang pinapamili hanggang sa umabot sa tagiisa nalang silang tatlo, pero katakot takot din na diskusyon ang naganap bago ko ito mapapayag.

Anyway ngayon yung first day ng tatlo sa eskwelahan. Si Kanvin na ang nagasikaso nun ang alam ko ay doon sila sa pinapasukan ni Kathlaine. Kaibigan din daw ni Kanvin ang may ari ng school kaya laki ang tiwala niya doon. Siya din ang maghahatid dahil sa may appointment ako ng maaga.

"Klave, si Kate bantayan mo" Bilin ko kay Klave habang nakahawak sa ulo nito at nakatinga naman ito sa akin. Masigla at nakangiti itong tumango tango si Kate naman ang sunod kong nilapitan at yumuko ako para bantayan siya. "Ikaw prinsesa ko wag masyadong makulit, kaya ka minsan na papaaway dahil diyan sa kadaldalan mo" Mahalong biro kong ani habang marahang nakapisil sa pisngi niya matamis lang itong ngumiti at niyakap ako, pagkabitaw ko ay nakangiti ko namang binalingan si Ciro at ginulo ang buhok niya, niyakap niya muna ako saka nagpaalam na. "Ingat kayo ah, sige na bye" Nakangiti kong paalam agad silang inalalayan ni Kanvin papasok.

Hinatid ko muna sila ng tingin at nung mawala na sila sa paningin ko ay saka lang ako pumasok.

Ciro's POV

We're on the car and as usual Kate was and that guy's kid was the only one blubbering about something so childish that they have watch. I was just reading a book while Klave was just playing with the ipod that guy just brought.

I really don't understand what Nanay think, why on earth did she just accept that guy so easily like what he did was just nothing.

"I'm the one who's going to fetch you again so just stay inside the premises don't go outside it's dangerous" He said like a real parent who is worried. I rolled my eyes I just wish that we reach our destination pretty fast, it make me sick to breathe the same air as him.

Well at least I can say it's also a good thing that he

When we arrived to our destination I hurriedly open the door and let assisted Kate to get off. Klave can already handle himself.

The three of us only followed them behind Kate was holding on my hand and Klaves hand while swaying, amusement in her eyes is so evident while smiling so sweetly.

"Here is your room Klave, Kath, Kate" That guy said. Kate kiss me on my cheeks firsts as a goodbye before leaving while Klave just nod at me. I just see them off with my gaze and by the time they already room that's when I decided to leave.

"No need to see me off I can already handle myself " I said in a cold voice when I feel that he's also walking behind my back.

"Take care" I heard him say which made my stomach went upside. Why is he being like a Dad now? This is not what he is in my memories. I'm maybe too young that time but I remember it all, this brain of mine is maybe a blessing or a course that I really can't forget what happened all this years, all seems like happened yesterday. I know I'm not like the others, Nanay said that I'm special because I am her child, but I already know, I'm different from the others but I already accepted it because in this case I'll be able to help Nanay without relying on that man.

This sucks with my age and height Nanay only see me as a boy. Tss, if only my height will be as much as my brain I'll be able to beat that man's crap out of him.

By the time I arrived at my room I saw how messy the class is, typical grade four students tss, I'm maybe 8 years old but I know that I'm all better than them. I'm not being cocky, I'm just stating the fact.

"Hey, new student?" The chubby guy asked like he was some kind of boss of hudlums. He seems stupid even though it's obvious that I'm much younger than him but I'm still taller. I just passed him because I don't feel like wasting some of my energy to an airhead.

Tss. If only I could get a tutor for myself because I only see everyone as dumb. Everyone are all bunch of craps because us there inferiority complex are triggered they will use violence as a front.

This environment seems a lot worse than in my previous school, all of my classmates seems like a bunch of spoiled brats. I can't help myself to be worried about Kate and Klave, especially Klave that kid is short tempered, he always run into trouble because of that big mouth of his. I told him to protect Kate but I think it's the other way around. It's a good thing that Kate is always with him, they are very opposite yet compatible with each other.

I heave a sigh. I want to see them already, It's more fun when those to are around. I just need them both and of course Nanay.
