Us Again (Russo Series 1)

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

The last of the fourteen precious jewelry is now on the spotlight. A classic looking necklace made with diamonds and other precious stones around it. I don't have to be a jewelry expert to know how authentic it is. Just by the looks of it and you will know!

It deserves the last spot, and all the waiting of the people aiming for it.

There's no need for any sugar-coated words to explain how beautiful the piece is. No beautiful words were needed. The necklace already expresses it all.

The crowd seems to be excited. Bahagyang umingay dahil sa mga bulungan sa paligid. Kahit sa aming lamesa ay rinig na rinig ang mga pag-uusap ng patungkol sa nasabing alahas.

What can I say? Ang lahat ng nasa lamesa namin ay nakisali kanina. Kahit si Jeremy. Ang isang matandang lalaki kanina sa harapan ko ay muntik ng manalo kung hindi lang may humabol pa sa mas mataas na halaga.

Ako lang ang walang ibang ginawa kundi ang makipalakpak.

They were all chatting about the last item for tonight. That's how it all goes for those who has the potential to get at least one piece.

Gusto kong makisali para naman makarelate pero wala namang kwenta kung gagawin ko iyon. I will just make myself look like a dumb giving praises to the necklace when I don't have a money to even bid for the lowest price.

Well, I can. But that is if I will get what's on my bank savings that of course I will never do!

I'm not like these people here who can spend their fortunes for an accessories. Mine was save for my secure future.

Hindi ko tuloy mapigilang maisip na paano kaya kung hindi nalugi ang aming negosyo? Kung patuloy na namayagpag ang business ng parents ko? Siguro ay isa ako sa kanila ngayon.

Hindi man manalo ay kaya namang magtaas ng numero para sumubok kahit na papaano. Pero ang lahat ng iyon ay nasa isip ko na lang.

Our business had failed. My parents don't seem capable to bring it back soon. Kaya nga mas nagpursigi si mommy sa pagrereto sa akin sa kung sinu-sinong mga mayayaman, hindi ba?

It's not everytime that I felt pity for myself. Dahil maganda pa din naman ang buhay ko. I'm not starving. I have a house. I'm educated, my parents still has money on their accounts. Maybe what I have now is not so much like how it was before, but it is enough.

Mas umingay ang bulungan ng may magdagdag pa ng dalawang milyon sa ngayon ay eight digit na highest bid. The price started with the early eight digit but now it's getting even more bigger.

Then someone from the front added another million. The a man in the back added another... then another, and another.

I am already thinking that the price is absurd. The eight digit was now too far from its first price.

Hindi ko maisip kung papaanong ang mga tao dito ay patuloy na nagpapataas sa presyo ng kwintas. It is just a necklace! Yes, a luxurious one but still just a necklace! Maybe I'm not really for here. I won't understand their logic with all these worldly things.

And that is because I can't relate! Not like Crisana who raised her number a while ago in try to get the item. Ako ay tamang nood at hanga na lamang sa mga patuloy pa ding lumalaban.

I can't take my eyes off the necklace when the spotlight focus on it more.

It's so beautiful. Like it should be owned only by a royalty. A queen perhaps!

Paunti na din ng paunti ang mga nagbibigay pa ng panibagong presyo. Kung isa ako sa mga natalo ay baka mas nakahinga pa ako ng maluwag. To know that I won't have to spend too much millions to...
