KABANATA 27

"ARE YOU serious?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Earth dahil sa binalita ng kapatid niya.

"Yes, that's why I advice you to be careful who you trust. The spy is roaming around the mansion, but we can't get him or her right away, I still need to confirm it's him or maybe her." ani ni Edward, napasandal naman siya sa swivel chair niya,

"Okay, I'll call Papá right away. We need his men" ani niya, tumango naman si Edward.

"Thank you for helping me about this stuff kuya. Hahayaan kita sa paglagay ng extra security sa bahay. Since mas malakas ang mga tao ni dad kesa sa akin, I'll let you handle them. But I advice you to stay out of this situation, this is problem, I'll handle it" ani ni Edward sa kaniya, napaismid naman siya.

"As if I have a choice if I insist to help you. Anyways, just call me when you need something. Make sure you'll fix this ASAP" bilin niya sa kapatid niya na tumango lang saka nagpaalam na aalis, agad naman pumasok si architect at engineer, pasekreto naman siyang napaismid.

"Good morning, Mr.Sevida." Sabay nilang bati, tumango lang siya saka hinayaan ang dalawang maupo sa visitor's chair. Inabot naman ni engineer ang isang papel,

"That's the maximum budget para sa pagpapa-renovate ng mansion, Mr.Sevida" ani ni engineer. Agad naman siyang napatango at agad na nagkomento.

"What about the construction workers?" tanong niya kay engineer.

"I contacted them already and architect Caroline already ordered a portable house for you to stay in while the renovation is on going" ani naman ni engineer, napatangin naman siya kay architect na busy sa pagsa-scan sa blueprint.

"And Mr.Sevida, yung cave pool na ni-request mo. Nilagay ko yun sa underground hang-out spot niyo." ani pa ni architect habang ang paningin ay nasa blueprint pa din. Habang siya naman ay kay architect lang din ang tingin.

"Yung mga guest rooms naman nilagay ko sa first floor and the garage will be move from south to west a few meters away from the main gate." ani ni architect saka nakangiting lumingon sa kaniya,

"When will be the exact date of the renovation?" tanong niya kay architect habang mataimtim itong tiningnan.

"After ng party ni Celestine." deretsong sagot ni architex napatango-tango naman siya.

"Okay. What about the maids? Saan sila?" tanong ni Earth kay architect.

"Unfortunately, kulang ang bakanteng barrel house sa barrel village. So we decided na magse-share nalang kami ng barrel house ni architect-"

"Hell no" agad na reak niya, napabangon pa siya mula sa pagkakasandal sa swivel chair. Tiningnan naman siya ng dalawa ng boung pagtataka.

"I mean. Of course, hindi pwede tumira ang isang lalaki at babae sa isang bubong kapag wala silang relasyon." ani niya saka napaiwas ng tingin,

"Okay lang naman-"

"It's not okay" may diing sabi niya kay architect. "How many portable house did you ordered?" deretsong tanong niya kay architect na napatingin pa kay Engineer.

"Walo, tig-iisa kayo magkakapatid saka isa din kay Don Rafael" sagot ni architect.

"Add 2" simpleng utos niya.

"But Mr.Sevida. It's too expensive. 25,000 pesos per protable house-"

"I don't care" sagot niya. Napatikom naman ang bibig ni architect.

"That's all for this day. Again, order 10 protable house. The budget is fine, as well as the workers fee. The renovation will start this coming wednesday" pagkaklaro ni Earth, tumayo naman si engineer saka si architect.
