A Deal with the Badboy (COMPLETED)

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

We get back to Burgos, Ilocos Norte for almost midnight, dumaan muna kami sa mansyon ni Pierre to meet her Tita Narissa dahil nga request ito ni Naomi at ng Mom na rin niya.

Camilla is already sleeping at Pierre's arm while I lift up her bag of stuff.

"Pierre! Gabby!" Sinalubong kami ni Naomi. I kiss her on her cheeks and I can see some bruises on her arms.

Napangiti ako ng mapait. Tinignan niya ako sa mga mata.

"Kamusta ka, Gabby? Ayos ka na ba? I'm sorry kung hindi ako nakadalaw sayo sa hospital." Sunod-sunod na sabi niya. Sasagot na sana ako ng unahan akong magsalita si Pierre.

"Let's get inside, shall we?" He meddled kaya napairap si Naomi.

Naomi clung on my arms. "Kanina pa kayo hinihintay ni Mommy, she's excited to meet you, gabby." She exclaimed.

"Me too." Sagot ko.

Pagpasok namin ay madilim na ang sala, tanging mahinang ilaw lamang ng chandelier ang nagbibigay ng kaunting liwanag sa loob. And at the corner, I saw a woman with a curly hair and wearing a night robe drinking a glass of wine.

"Tita Narissa, we're here." Anunsyo ni Pierre kaya lumingon ang babae saamin.

"Pierre!" Lumapit siya at humalik sa lalaking katabi ko. "And, Gabriella! Nice to meet you, sweety." She kissed me on my both cheeks.

"It's my pleasure to meet you too, tita." I smile back to her.

"Dalhin ko lang po si Camilla sa room." Paalam ni Pierre, kinuha niya na rin ang bag na dala-dala ko tsaka umakyat sa second floor.

"Let's sit?" Tita Narissa motioned her hand on the couch behind us kaya naupo kami, Naomi excused her self na kukuha lang daw siya ng drinks namin.

"I heard you're Pierre's girl." She asked kaya ngumiti ako.

Hindi ko kasi alam ang aking sasabihin kaya mahina lamang akong tumawa.

"I heard a lot about you. You're an portrait artist too, right?"

Tumango ako. "Opo, but I am not professional it's only a hobby."

"And you helped a lot of children too!" She exclaimed in glee kaya napangiti ako.

"With the help of Pierre, po. We helped them." I answered kaya napangiti si Tita Narissa.

"Alam mo, ngayon ko lang nakitang magkaganiyan ulit ang batang 'yon. Ngayon lang naman talaga." Tita Narissa muttered kaya napakunot noo ako.

Bumuntong hininga siya bago nagkuwento saakin.

"He was three years old when I first met a Pierre Simon De Silva. Hindi kami nagkasundo n'ong una. He hates me because he can't still accept his mother's death. I remember our rendezvous, It was a cold Christmas of 2003."

"Simon, this is your new mom," Anunsyo ni Damon sa anak niyang lalaki na naglalaro ng mga laruan sa tabi ng malaking Christmas tree.
