Chapter 27

                         Chapter 27

"Santina,darling....how are you child!" Ang masayang bungad ng matandang babae na nagbukas ng malaking pintuan ng marinig nito ang pagparada ng sasakyan sa harap ng bahay.
Nakita nito ang ina ng kanyang pinakamamahal na mga apo.

"Mamita,we are fine. The kids are growing too fast. Sorry, di kami nakabisita rito ng madalas these past few days. I'm busy preparing the kids to go to nursery schools." Malambing nmang sabi ng bagong kakapasok na si Santina sa Lola ni Bryce.

Lahat ng family members ng lalaki ay hawak nya sa leeg. Kaya nman tinatrato sya ng mga ito na tunay na may bahay ng lalaki sa tuwing pumupunta sila sa malaking bahay ng mga Valiente.

Nasa exclusive subdivisions ang mga ito nakatira. At talagang malaki ang bahay ng mga ito na umabot ng four floor. Lahat ng nakatira doon ay paang mansion ang mga nakahelirang bahay. At marami ding mga kawaksi na naroon parito sa loob at labas ng bahay ng mga ito. At ang loob ng bahay nito ay may nakadisplay na mga mamahaling mga bagay. Elegante ang pagkakadesigned ng buong kabahayan. Bawat sulok ay naghahalaga ng milyones.

Narinig nyang secret billionaire ang family ng lalaki kaya nman ginawa nya ang lahat ng kanyang makakaya para makapasok sa family ng lalaki. Alam nyang di aware si Katheirain sa family background ng lalaki dahil lihim nyang pinaimbestigahan ang buong Valiente noon. So, Nang magkaroon sya ng pagkakataon na akitin ang lalaki ay ginawa nya ang lahat.

Napakalawak din ang bakuran ng mga ito. Mayrong limang sasakyan sa garage ng mga ito na paang milyones ang worth. Kaya nman ng una syang dalhin roon ng lalaki ay nalula sya sa laki at ganda ng bahay.
May malaking pool sa isang bahagi ng garden ng mga ito. At sa di kalayuan ay Mayrong gazebo na may lamang mamahaling mga inumin.

"It's fine,its fine Darling as long as they're in good health. We are sorry that you need to put up with our grandson bad temper." Anito na mabilis hinila ang babae papasok ng bahay natapos itong yakapin at halikan sa pisngi.

"Mia,Erica come here and give your great grandmother a big hug and kisses!" Patuloy pa rin ang kalambingan sa boses ng babae ng lingunin ang kanyang mga anak na nakasunod nman sa kanya kasama ng tatanga tanga nitong yaya. Lihim nya itong pinanlakihan ng mga mata ng lumingon sya sa mga ito bago ito nagkumahog na dalhin ang kanyang mga anak sa harap ng matanda.

"Jesus! They're so big and both are lovely just like mommy! Come,come to great grandma and let me take a look at both of you." Masayang saad nito na di mapigilang lumarawan ang pananabik nito sa mga apo.
Ito ang unang apo nito sa tuhod kaya nman ang buong atensyon ng family nya ay sa mga ito lamang.

"Where is that grandson of mine? Why haven't he enter the house?" Anitong pinahaba ang leeg nito natapos nitong yakapin at paghahalikan ang dalawang bata.

"He was talking at the phone when we comes in first,mamita. Also you need to give him a good scolding too! He doesn't comes back home these past few days at home. I don't know where he stays. Do you think he had a new mistress now?" Anitong ipinakita ang sama ng loob nito sa lalaki.

"Hush,how can he still look for another woman. You yourself is enough for him and also you already gave him two beautiful daughters. What can he asked for?" Anito na bahagyang inalo ang kaharap na babae.

Although ayaw nya sana itong tanggapin sa bahay nya ng una itong dalhin ni Bryce ay wala syang nagawa. Ayawan nya man ito ay huli na dahil may anak na ang apo rito.
Its a petty Katheirain didn't bear a child for his grandson. She knows his grandson commits adultery outside his marriage but what can she do. The baby is already there not only one but two! So she has convinced that Bryce didn't want to let go of this woman. So she naturally accepted her out of respect of his grandson decision.

But the boy had a good beating with his husband when he learned that he impregnated a woman but not her own wife. And now Katheirain is asking for a divorce. Maybe they're not meant for each other. And this woman although she gives birth to her grandchildren she know she doesn't have a pure heart. She only tolerated her because she's the mother of her grandchildren. If not she long chase her out of her grandson house before.

She did an investigation in her family background. She's poor and ambitious. Although they did not look down in persons state of living but she can tell she have no good intention. Where did you see a woman seducing her old classmates husband? She really have a gut to do that in front of her granddaughter in law.

She cannot blame Katheirain for asking leaving Bryce before and now asking him for a divorce.
She know what's happening in his grandson lives. She have eyes everywhere and she know everything.
She just keep quite and observed them.

"Mama,they're here?" Narinig nyang saad ng boses ng ina ni Bryce na si Betty.
"Yea,they're just arrived. Where are your dad and husband?" Anito na babae.
"They're still talking in the study room." Sagot nito.
"Erica,Mia come to grandma. Its been along time since I last saw you!" Tawag nito sa dalawang apo na nasa isang sulok ng malaking saka.
Mabilis nmang napatakbo si Mia rito ngunit si Erica ay nagdadalawang isip. Mapatingin muna ito Kay Santina bago lumapit Kay Betty na di nakaligtas sa matalas na mga mata ni Guadalupe.

"Come,Santina let's sit in the sofa. Tell me what you been doing? " anito sa ina ng dalawang batang nakangiti.
Hinila nya ito paupo sa malaking sofa ng bahay katabi nya.

"Mama, where is that man? You know we need to talk some sense to him!" Anito sa matanda.

" What's happening Santina why he suddenly sued you?" Wika ni Betty. Pinalabas nya ang dalawang apo sa likod ng bahay kung daan naroon ang playground na pinagawa nito para sa dalawang bata.

"I don't know Mommy Betty. He stays outside for so long and didn't bother to comes home!" Pagsusumbong nito sa kanya.

"Do you think he won't signed the divorce papers Katheirain asking?" May atubili sa tinig na tinanong ang dalawang babae.
Magkakaharap silang nakaupo roon.
Naputol lamang ang kabilang pag-uusap ng maghatid ng snacks ang kawaksi ng mga ito.
"Don't worry,I will make sure you will marry in the family." Pagbibigay assurance ni Betty Kay Santina na lihim na ikinagalak ng kanyang budhi na di nman lingid Kay Guadalupe. Lihim lamang nitong pinagmamasdan ang bawat salita at emosyon ipinapakita nito sa kanila.
"Thank you mommy,although Katheirain said I'm the mistress and doesn't have the right.... " Anitong napaiyak na lamang sa harap ng dalawang babae.
"Hush...don't worry we will make sure my son will make you his wife legally. We are sorry you need to endure some critism during these past years you lived with my son." Saad nman ng ina ni Bryce na talagang madaling maawa kapag may makikita itong inaapi.
"Why don't we talk about your incoming wedding now?" Anito Kay Santina.
"What wedding! Your son haven't divorce his wife! Do you want to add another problem in our family? We already suffered from your son's crime!" May galit sa tinig na wika ni Guadalupe rito.
"But mama,Santina been with us for too long. Isn't it right to give her a proper status in our family?" Anito sa ina.
"Let's talk about this when your son already is a free man!" Ani nito Kay Betty.

May sama naman ng loob na lihim na napatingin si Santina sa matanda.
Against ba ito na makasal sya sa apo nito?ang naitanong nya sa sarili.
