Si Assuming at Si Misinterpreter

Dahly's POV

New Years Eve at si Old man ay trip mapaparty... Ayun na busy kami lahat, ako sa last minute run through if ok na ang preparations para mamaya. Si JN naman,ayun busy sa kusina, di mo nga malapitan sobrang sungit. Sabagay pressured siguro kasi invited ang mga business partners, VIP's, family and friends namin mamaya. As per Old man ipapakilala na kami as the new members of the family.

By lunch time... everything was ready... pinatawag ako bigla ni Old man sa study niya...

pagdating ko dun, nakita ko siya na nagbabasa ng mga documents... he was wearing his glasses.

"Old man what's up?" tanong ko sa kanya then I hugged him and kissed his balding head. Ganito ako sa kanya, again I'm a lolo's girl... para naring nagkaroon ako ng 2nd lolo because of him.

He gave me a smile then told me to sit down. Iilang sandali pa may kumatok  sa door at pumasok si JN. he was still wearing his apron, ngayon ko pa siya nakita in his chef uniform. Ang sexy ng gago.

Umupo na siya sa tabi ko, medyo malapit lang ang upuan namin... ewan ano pumasok sa isip ko at inamoy ko siya... Amoy woody musk pa rin kahit since dawn nasa kusina... 

"So ano mabango pa rin ba ako?" he was smirking while asking that...

"Che! nacurious lang ako!" sagot ko naman sa kanya... Nge dyahe ano ba pumapasok sa utak ko?

"Ahem!" tawag pansin ni Old man sa amin... we focused on him na.

"Pinatawag ko kayo to say something very important, this will be a final decision... I won't take it back,not unless you have a something better... I had carefully thought about this for how many months now." he smiled

Parang kinabahan naman ako bigla, rare lang ngumiti si Old man and usually it is good news sa kanya, but scary news for us.

"Inoobserbahan ko kayo, checked with people who knew both of you well... di ko madalas ginagawa ito o di ito ginagawa sa members ng Silverthornes not unless, we need to protect something..." he paused and served tea sa aming dalawa

"As you both know, mamaya ipapakilala ko na kayo sa society. At the same time, I will be announcing your engagement." kalmadong kalmado niyang sabi habang humihigop ng tea

"NO!" sigaw ko "What is the meaning of this?" galit kong tanong... it can't be, not that ayaw ko talaga pero... Paano si Patricia? Ayaw kong ipilit to kay JN, para naman akong kontrabida niyan. Ano ito, Ruby? bidang kontrabida?

"Do you really hate me that much at talagang sobrang ayaw mong maging fiance ko?" biglang sabi ni JN, tinignan ko si JN his face was so grim while nakapikit ang mata, galit? hurt? what is he feeling right now? Lech! I can"t look at his eyes to know that!

"Kung wala na po kayong sasabihin, mauna na po ako I still have work to do" paalam ni JN kay Old man and he did a slight bow then left without even glancing at me.

I heard the door close. Napayakap ako sa sarili ko. Lumapit si Old man sa akin.

"What is wrong with you Dahly?" yumakap na si Old man sa akin "Ayaw mo ba sa kanya, I thought..."

Pinutol ko na sasabihin niya sa akin, "You know what are my feelings for him lolo, yet I can't be selfish, may iba siyang mahal" after saying that napaiyak na talaga ako, siguro nga bumagsak na ako sa floor if di lang ako inaakap ni lolo... I hugged him back...

"Assumptions my dear, sometimes, blindly we walk the path we think that is right without looking at the thorns that might hurt us, and we often neglect the hand that is reached out that will lead you to the right path." yun lang ang sabi ni Old man.
