"Hi Guys!How's all your day?"
I heard Rhys' voice just entering the house carrying his luggage and the maid immediately took it.
Rhys immediately kissed mama's cheek and so did papa, and sat on the chair next to me and just smiled at me of sparingly.
I ignored him because I was tired of this idiot and his shits.
He always bring troubles at ako ang tagasalo sa gagong to.
He's a biggest trouble maker.The last one was 3 days ago,He handled the resort in Siargao but He messed it up.
Halos malugi na ang resort ng tawagan ako ng manager kaya hinanap ko si Rhys but the fucker is nowhere to found.As I know he was at Hongkong again.
"Où êtes-vous allé Rhys et votre grand frère n'a pas pu vous trouver pendant trois jours. (Where did you go Rhys and your big brother couldn't find you for three days.)"
Mom asked as we are eating a dinner here at Le manoir de Gauthreaux.
It's a Friday night so each of us must have a dinner in our parents house,It's an order from them,A family night.
"Je réglais juste le problème à la maman de la succursale de Hong Kong (I was just fixing the problem at the Hong Kong branch mom)"
Rhys answered,Binalingan ko siya ng tingin at hindi ko napansing nakatingin rin ito sakin habang may ngisi sa labi.
What the fuck is his problem?
"Do you really need to take care of and fix the problem in Hong Kong Rhys? Why don't you just let Mr. Laurent fix the problem there?"
I spoke and continue my meal,Tumikhim si mama at nginitian si Rhys at ganun rin saakin.
"That's right Rhys....why don't you ask for Mr.Laurent handle that problem."
I was so curious why Rhys always go in that place every month and gone for a days.
Halos ilang taon narin na ganoon ang routine niya.
Walang palya kada buwan.And I really don't believe his reasons.Imposibleng kada taon ay nagkakaroon ng problema roon.
Hindi ako naniniwalang konting problema lang ang nagyayari sa hinahandle niyang branch sa Hongkong,
At nakapagtataka pa ang pag ayos niya mismo roon.
I really know Rhys,he's my brother and I know a lot about him.But he is so strange this past years.
Rhys is the kind of person who, no matter how big the problem of our businesses is, he almost doesn't care. So I really wonder why the business there seems so important to him.
He doesn't care about businesses lalo na pagdating sa business ng pamilya namin.What's into him?
"Mama,....Ako na po ang aayos ng gusot dun.I can handle it without any help of Mr.Laurent"
And it was strange again.He doesn't ask for any help.
I really wonder about Rhys' actions.I know he hiding something from us.
"Mom.Let him,N'êtes-vous pas tous heureux que mon petit frère soit maintenant plus soucieux des affaires qu'avant? (Aren't you all happy that my little brother is now more business-conscious than before?)"
Ma sœur aînée said to all of us at sinuntok pa ng marahan si Rhys sa braso at nag appear pa silang dalawa.
Napailing nalang ako.Sœur aînée Sadie always come whenever Rhys need defender at ganun din naman si Rhys kay ate Sadie.Such both hard headed.Magka sundong magka sundo.
"Ok fine...Let's not talk about it, and just enjoy the dinner,alright?"
Wala nang sumagot saamin at pinagpatuloy ko nalang ang pagkain ko.At ganun din ang kanilang ginawa.
Silince filled in the dining as not so usual but suddenly ate Sadie spoke from nowhere.
"Mama,Papa.....I am really thinking this for a quite long time now.I just want to ask all your opinion."
Halos kaming lahat ay napatingin kay ate Sadie,
Makikinig kaming lahat kasi minsan lang siya mag seryoso pagka ganitong araw.
"What is it Eloise?"
Dad asked his sister Sadie and drank some wine.
She placed both of her elbows on the table and rested her chin on it and one by one he gave us a look.
"You know,I am not young anymore,I am already 34,..I am the oldest child yet,I still have no boyfriend because of our strict dad-"
She didn't finish her words when Dad interrupt her and take a deadly glance to Ate Sadie.
"It's for the better,Maawa lang ako sa magiging boyfriend mo Eloise."
Napatawa naman ako ng bahagya dahil sa sinabi ni dad,What the hell-?
"Dad nga-!nakakainis to!ayaw mo bang magka apo?....I really want to have a child you know?"
Nakasimangot nitong sabi at sabay irap kay dad na kinasimangot naman ng huli.
"Oh mon Dieu mon amour! Avez-vous entendu ce que notre fille a dit? Elle veut avoir un enfant! Oh mon Dieu! N'as-tu pas aimé cette idée mon amour? Il y aura à nouveau un enfant dans cette maison. (Oh my God my love! Did you hear what our daughter said? She wants to have a child! Oh my God! Didn't you like this idea my love? There will be a child again in this house.)"
Mama said happily as she pulled on Papa's polo sleeve at the same time because of what Ate Sadie said.
Napasimangot naman lalo si Papa at napakamot nalang sa batok nito sabay inom parin ng Wine niya.
"Ce n'est pas une bonne idée mon amour (It's not a good idea my love)"
Dad said kaya binatukan siya ni mommy at binato ito ng table napkin.
"Espèce d'enfoiré, je veux vraiment te frapper maintenant Darius! (You motherfucker, I really wanna hit you right now Darius!)"
Pigil na tawa akong napayuko habang si Rhys at ate Sadie ay tawa ng tawa.
Well,my parents used to cuss each other in front of us pero pagkami namang magkakapatid ang magmumurahan nagagalit silang dalawa.
"Mon amour Naman eh,.....bakit mo bako minumura?"
Nakabusangot na reklamo ni Dad,
"And why should not huh?!,You always oppose what I want!.....Darius, je veux un petit-fils,(Darius, I want a grandson)"
Naglalambing na sabi ni Mama kay dad kaya napailing nalang ako dahil sa ka cheesy-han nila.
"Aishh,can we not talk about that?You're daughter hasn't a boyfriend though"
Yamot nasabi ng huli,
Suddenly Rhys spoke and raise his hand while smiling widely.
"Me! I want to have a children, Then I'll name them Huxley and Haoran,It's cool right?"
Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya kaya napatingin ako rito kasabay noon ang pagbato ni mama ng kutsara kay Rhys na agad din naman niyang naiwasan.
"Oh tais-toi lâche! (Oh shut up coward!)"
Napakamot nalang sa ulo si Rhys dahil sa sinabi ni Mama,well we are so got to it.
"Mama naman eh,"
Sinimangutan lang siya ni mama at inirapan.
"Maybe that's the reason why you always go to Hongkong because you got someone pregnant am I right?!"
Well,hindi malabong mangyari iyon.Si Rhys pa.He always fooled around and fuck around.
"Mama Naman,pero kung gusto niyo eh di sige po"
Binatukan at kinurot ni mama si Rhys kaya napasigaw ito sa sakit.
"Just try it Rhys Jaxon and you'll regret!!ni hindi ka nga marunong magluto ng omelette tas makakabuntis kang tarantado ka!"
Ok.I need to get out,
I am starting to get annoyed,Why they loved to talk about grandchildren?
I stood up and made sure mama and papa were not looking and I went straight to the bar counter and got Papa's Clarkes Court Spiced Rum collection.
I hate and hurt every time they talk about grandchilds.I always remember what happened 5 years ago.
Monet and our child.
It's 5 years but it's still hurt,
I still blame myself for being a fucked up man,I am one of the reason why our should be child was gone.Kasalanan ko,pinahamak ko ang sarili kong anak.I love so much our child kahit nasa tiyan palang siya ni Monet,
And I am a fucker for putting my child in danger because of that woman,kung sana di nalang ako nakapaglapit nung unang una palang kay Xena sana masaya na kami ni Monet while having a children's.We were planning to have a 3 children like me,Rhys and ate Sadie.
Pero lahat ng yun nawala ng parang bula.
I am a biggest fucker.
"Hey kuya,di mo man lang ako inayang uminom nitong isa sa mga matatapang na alak ni papa,sigurado pagagalitan ka non."
Napatawa nalang ako ng pagak.
Yeah he's right,siguradong pagagalitan ako ni Dad dahil kumuha na Naman ako sa mga paborito nitong alak at hindi pa ako nag paalam.I am really so fucked up.
"Just sit down you fucker"
I said to him at tinuro ang katabi kong upuan at umupo rin naman ito.Kumuha rin ito ng alak at pinili pa ng Gago yung mahal ang presyo.Gago talaga.
"So how's your life?How's your boring life?"
I sighed and drink again the alcohol, I ignored the bitterness that enveloped my throat.
I don't care.I want to drunk and fuck up.
