TITA JENINE'S P.O.V
'malapit nang matapos ang lahat sa pagkain..'
"...im not againts on it papa.. but dont you think we should consider the fact that they are still young and they have they're dreams on their own.."
"And the fact that they needed more time and focus for there studies.. "
Nag aalalang kong sabi..
Ibinaba ni papa ang hawak nyang kutsara at pinunasan ang kanyang bibig bago magsalita..
"Jenine, we know how worried you are to your children, niece and nephew. "
".. its just that were not getting younger,
We wanted to see and guide personally the one that will be continuing our legacy. "
Seryosong sabi ni papa..
Sa isang banda, tama naman si papa. Pero nag aalala lang talaga ako sa magmamana netong kumpanya..
Sa oras na maging tagapagmana ang isa sa kanila, may magsasakripisyo nanaman ng sarili nyang kaligayahan para lang sa kumpanya at reputasyon ng pamilya...
...
" But papa, dont you think we must discuss first about nicole. Beside's discussing about the heir is nothing to do with her.. "
Intrigang sabi ni alyza.. dinugtungan pa ito ni ate melissa..
" As far as i know, you already decided what you are going to do with her. "
" Your right auntie! Dad said earlier she's going to study abroad."
"Grandpa, why dont you tell her to leave now?. "
"Angel? Stop it okay!"
" Why kuya? Are you going to miss her? Then go with her!.."
"You..."
" That's enough angelo, angel has a point. Nicole has nothing to do with this issue.. "
" Right! uncle arman! "
'angel smirked and looked at nicole, but as expected, easy lang ang aura ni nicole..'
Nagkakasundo ang mga ito na pagtulungan si nicole..
si nicole naman talaga ang may karapatang magmana ng lahat ng pinag hirapan ni alfred..
Hindi ako papayag na pumunta si nicole sa state's.. at kung hindi ko makukumbinsi sila papa at mama, sasamahan ko sya..
Si nicole... pinatatag nalang sya ng mga naranasan nyang mag-isa.. naaawa ako sa kanya..
Aaminin kong na-gi-guilty ako ng malaman ko ang about sa biological mom nya..
Kung alam kolang.. pero nangyare nayun.. ngayon, ibibigay ko kay nicole lahat ng tulong na maibibigay ko..
At lahat ng pagmamahal na maipaparamdam ko sa kanya..
...
" Papa, i dont think nicole going to state is a wise decission. Its like we're admitting that the article is true.."
Sabi ko ng magsalita si nicole..
"Isnt it tita?"
"..."
" So my mom.. she really died after giving birth? You seems to guarantee that your innocent tita? "
" Of course nicole! What kind of question is that! Dont you trust your tita? And me your own father!? "
" Ahm.. leme think.. maybe i can atleast trust tita jenine but you!? I dont know.."
"You little...."
" For now, i dont know the truth either nicole.. but im here to give you companion, i'll never leave you, you can trust me.."
" That's enough.. you can go with nicole to state's if thats what you want jenine.. "
Sambit ni papa..
" I want to go too grandpa "
" Kuya!? "
" Why? are you going to miss me? "
"..."
"Well that's good! You can go too angel if you want.."
" No thanks, grandpa.."
"But papa?.."
"Jenine.. take care of our heir okay.. when you get back here i will train her personally.."
Sabi ni papa at masayang kinindatan si nicole.
Ibinalik naman ni nicole ang kindat na ito..
...
" What does this mean papa! "
Gulantang na sabi ni ate melissa..
" Papa, if this is kind of joke its not funny! Nakasalalay ang future naten dito! "
Galet namang sabi ni arman..
" Papa! Do you really think a hundred times before you made a decision? The future of our company is on the line! "
Sambit naman ni alyza..
" Mama.. Do you know about this? Do you two agreed with this? "
Intrigang tanong ni arman..
" Of course jijo. Beside, nicole is at the right age.. what can go wrong?.."
" What can go wrong!? This is unbelievable.."
Di makapaniwalang sabi ni alyza..
" That unreasonable grandma, grandpa. Joseff is at the right age too, and he's more deserving than nicole!.. this cant be.. it's unfair!! "
"Angel! Whatever decision our grandparents made, dont question them. "
"..."
" You are verry respectful person angelo."
Nagsalita na sa wakas si nicole..
" Sometime's i wonder, were the hell did your twin sister got that stupid attitude.."
"Nicole! Dont speak like that!"
Sigaw ni alfred..
" Know i now.. "
" Nic.."
" Im more deserving than angel right dad? "
"..."
" Well there you go. I'll take your silence as a yes... "
" Say's who ANNE!? "
" Why? Are you really that stupid to believe everything that dad said to you?.. "
" Why nicole? Do you have anything that can prove out that your father is lying? "
...
" If i do auntie melissa.. what are you going to
do? "
...
Kahit ako nagulat sa sinabi ni nicole..
Ano bang hawak nya.. ang hirap basahin ni nicole.
Kilala syang mabaet pero war freak, kaya naman mahirap hulaan kung totoo ang sinasabi nya or she's just teasing you..
"Are you threatening us your family?"
Unang beses na magsalita ni joseff sa meeting or gatherings..
"Are you threatened? "
Taas kilay na sabi ni nicole..
" Why should i? "
Kalmado naman tanong ni joseff
" Well i think you are. This is the first time you bother to talk in family gatherings right? "
Ang kaninang kalmadong mukha ni joseff ay napalitan ng pangamba.
Kahit kami nagulat, pano nga naman nya nalaman pa ang tungkol sa bagay nayun..
"..."
" What's with that face?.."
"..."
" Am i right? Im just guessing and it seems that im right.. i just saw it on your aura."
"..."
" Ahm.. grandpa grandma i will make you proud and never let you disappoint! "
Masiglang sabi ni nicole at tumayo na..
" Please give me some days to prepare and say good bye to my friend.. "
Masayang sabi nito.. pagkatapos ay tinignan nya ako at ngumiti..
" Im looking forward to be with you tita jenine. Thank you for your support i hope you mean that. "
"if we have nothing more to discuss grandpa, may i leave now? "
Tumango naman at ngumiti si papa at mama kay nicole..
" Yes jija. Take care. "
Sambit ni papa..
Yumoko naman si nicole bago ito umalis. At binigyan ulit ako ng ngiti, ibinalik ko naman iyun..
" It was really nice to see you all. I hope we can bond more next time. Im leaving now. Take grandma grandpa. Love you! "
" We love you too our grandchild. Good bye! "
Umalis si nicole ng may bakas na ngiti sa mukha habang kumakaway papalayo sa amin nila angelo, papa at mama..
Naiwan naman ang bakas ng halo halong negative vibes sa mukha nila ate melissa, alyza, arman at mga anak nito..
Ano kayang motibo sa pagpili nila papa at mama kay nicole bilang tagapagmana.
Si nicole.. kailangan nya ako. Ayokong sirain ang tiwala nya.
'napamahal na saken si nicole. Para kona syang anak..'
Pero ano bang... Alam nya?
