Jaime entered the Roaquin's mansion accompanied by manang the old maid.
Hmm so they had the same status with us, no wonder their mansion seems the same as ours.
Manang left him as she excused herself for a minute to see what she was cooking. So he used the time to see what's within the sala.
When he suddenly saw pictures with there frames In a well designed cabinet.
First, he saw his Tita Nathalia's single photo looking foreign as a Spanish lady. Then second, he saw his Tita Nathalia with his Tito Deorge-his tita's hasbond. And last... He saw a single photo of a lady, a lady which he think he cannot guess.
Tita's Daughter?.... No... Mom hadn't mentioned that they have a daughter.
He stayed long looking at the third photo and judged the lady...
Hmm she is beautiful, but I guess my girls are more beautiful than this lady...
When manang suddenly came already...
He hadn't yet guessed the last photo so he asked manang "Their Daughter?"
Manang whom was about to apologize for making him wait suddenly stopped hearing his question. She wasn't able to answer him, thinking... What will I do? Madam said that no one should know about their daughter...
She then stayed in silent. When suddenly...
DUG! SCRATCH!
A sound from upstairs suddenly interrupted the silence.
"who's upstairs?" Jaime asked manang.
Manang then got more uncomfortable. She knows who's upstairs that this Jaime shouldn't know.
So she doesn't have any other choice already but to answer him with the safest one and that was "ah it was just the Puskal (a Filipino informal term for cat from street, no breeding cat) cat of Miss"
Ohh so that concludes that the sound was made by that Pukal cat they called... Hmm...
"Ahh I see, and that Miss was?"
"Madam's Daughter---" oopps manang seems spilled something she shouldn't be spilled with but she forgot!
And it's too late already.
"Oh so Tita had a Daughter...hmm so I must not be wrong (pointed the last photo) that must be her, no wonder she looked like a cat in her photo...tsk tsk"
Jaime concluded by herself connecting her photo with the fact of having a puskal cat, then walked towards the table where he placed the Documents that her mom made him to send in the Roaquin's mansion already.
"here manang, Mom sent me to give those documents to Tita Natalia, I'm Jaime her Amigos' son."he spoke while giving the documents to manang...
"oh thanks ijo, I will give them to madam when they're back already"
Jaime just nodded and left already.
"phew!" manang then feels like she can breath peacefully already. When Nadya suddenly came...
"manang?"
"Jesus! Ija when did you came down here?" Manang was worried, what if that Jaime saw her? He just got almost left?
"ah manang I'm sure he left already before I came down here, so where are those documents manang? Give it to me now so that I can keep them at mom's drawer already"
Manang then gave her those documents and remembered "you know what ija? That was Jaime your Mom's Amigos' son, he was so handsome" manang finally complimented Jaime telling Nadya how Jaime looked like.
"hmm... His Parents must be beautiful too manang, by the way I'm going to keep those documents already" then she walked away already.
Well manang's words about how that Jaime looked like wasn't enough for her to find out how that man looked like.
But she wasn't disappointed, the fact that she cannot really see anyone in conclusion in her situation. So there will be no difference at all.
In fact... It favored her that it's better to not able to see someone specially any guy there who will just give her false hope and will just ruin her at the end.
Dinner at Xanford's mansion...
"mom, Dad Tita has a Daughter..." he started while getting some salad.
"oh how did you know?" his mom hurriedly asked.
"well I saw her photo displayed inside there sala" he answered being not much interested.
" Is she beautiful?" his Dad then asked.
And again with no interest he answered "I don't know Dad, and by the way forget about that. I have a good news actually" he then spilled the main interesting topic, for him.
But her mom added "oh wait, you and your Tita's Daughter are having the same age and she was studying in states by the way"
"Mom? I said I have a good news, forget that topic now"
"ok ijo, what's your good news by the way then?" his mom gave up.
"well I think, no I should say, I am going to be serious now. I have my new girlfriend now, she's more beautiful than Tita's Daughter and I know she's my last already." he happily told them.
Then the both asked in unison "are you sure ijo?"
"of course Mom and Dad." he answered them without any hesitations.
"hmm ok ijo we're not going to stop you with having girlfriends, but study hard, don't get too serious with love life ok?" his Dad then responded.
"well Dad I will study hard and that's a promise. I will study hard more, Now that I have Zasha as my inspiration already" he spoke with his confidence.
Studies? And Sazha? Well I can handle it, I will manage my time with the both of them!
It's week days again and sad to say she spend her weekends being kept inside the mansion. Her mom didn't really allowed her to go outside, even going in mall to have atleast window shopping
And now with her only tutor Ms. Bella were going to face another one week again.
Ms. Bella had just finished giving the lessons for this day. When she suddenly asked...
"Ms. Brillane, do you mind if I ask you?"
"oh what is it Ms. Bella?you can ask just don't ask me with hard one hehe"
"well I just wanna know, do you have a love life?"
"nothing" she simply answered after she asked.
"oh even a crush?" Ms. Bella hoped that her student isn't at least loveless...
"yeah, there's none Ms. Bella" but it was really none...
"hmm that's not good, I guess you should be really outside of this Mansion,to make you experience how to have a crush too"
"well I have an ex crush Ms. Bella" Ms. Bella then got different answer without asking.
"yes I had a crush before, but my story with him is not good. So I think being inside of this mansion than in university is much favored over me, it'll make me avoid meeting someone who might just ruin me, Ms. Bella..."
"hmm it seems that you really had a point. But still you should go outside... Wait I have an idea"
Nadya then got curious...
"what is it Ms. Bella?" she asked but a wink was just the only answer which she had received from Ms. Bella...
Maybe Ms. Bella has some thinkings too that will never be a good idea so she informed her "Ms. Bella I can't go outside, if Mom and Dad didn't allowed me. I'm fine in here Ms. Bella"
But still with her happy face "don't worry I will handle that"
Inside the canteen Sazha and Jaime were eating at their usual table.
"so you got me over Jake" she started.
"yes, and I've won. Do you love me?" Jaime asked.
"of course yes!" she answered him flirtatiously.
Well Sazha was now my girlfriend, my own. I and Jake had a fight getting her. And well I've won so I have her now. See? I'm more handsome, rich more than Jake.
"so babe let's have a cutting class tomorrow?" Sazha then asked.
Cutting class?
"please just tomorrow, make that as our day, only our day. You and me" she pleaded.
Ok just tomorrow... How can I not grant her wish? Tsk! I will make the day tomorrow memorable for her.
"ok Babe, just tomorrow ok?"
"sure babe..."
