A Rastro Story

3 The Meet-up

Rhian

" Senyorita Rhian tawag na po kayo ni Sir, handa na po ang hapunan kanina pa po nag-aantay mga bisita ninyo."- Yaya

"What the!! So sino naman itong mga bwisita na sumira sa mala-sleeping beauty kong pagkakahimbing? Siguraduhin  lang nila na kaaya-aya ang madadatnan namin kung hindi maghahalo ang balat sa tinalupan!."

As I go out to my room there I saw Bianca and Sheena, looking pissed, and I know that they are also in deep sleep, but force to get up because of this so called "bwisita" daw namin.

" Nakakainis! Hindi pa ako nakakabawi ng tulog."- Bianca

" Do you know who are those "bwisitang" bisita?. -Sheena

" I don't care and I don't give a damn. Let's just eat and go back to sleep after dinner." -bored kong sagot.

" Well better na they are worth it kasi naistorbo ang beautiful dream ko." -bulong sagot ni Bianca.

At sabay sabay na kaming bumaba patungong komedor at nakita namin ang mga bwisita na abala sa paglantak ng pagkain na  parang ilang araw na hindi nakakain. I feel the sudden anger and pain at the same time dahil nakita ko ulit ang taong pinangulilahan ko ng ilang taon.

" My babies come and eat dinner. You know we have a visitor. I'm sure you'll get along well with them cause you're not strangers to each other. Remember Glaiza, Batchi and Mike? Mga kababata at kinakapatid n'yo, and here are my daughters Rhian, Bianca and Sheena."- pakilala ni Dad.

Ngumisi lang ang mga ito at hindi man lng nag-abalang bumati kaya lalong nag-init ang ulo ko. Tinaasan ko lang sila ng kilay at umupo sa lamesa kasunod naman ang padabog na pag-upo ni Bianca at Sheena na nakaramdam ng inis sa mga ito.

" At sinong Poncio Pilato ang nagpadala sa inyo dito at feel na feel n'yo talaga na at home kayo?!"-sikmat ko

" Hey! watch your manners!. Ako ang Poncio Pilatong sinasabi mo at sila ang makakasama niyo dito habang wala kami ng mommy ninyo." - Baling  sa amin ni Dad.

"What?!." I ask the girl infront of me.

She just smiled and show her dimple and the familiarity left a stung in my chest, at ang walang hiya pinasadahan niya ako ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa at nagtagal sa dibdib ko. I just shiver the way she look and as though she knows what's happening to me. The beyotch smirk and smiled mischievously.

" Will you stop staring at me!."

" Why?, I want to stare, does it bother you?."

"Quit staring kundi tutusukin ko yang mata mo!."

" Hahaha! Ang cute mo mainis oh namumula ilong at eyebrows mo ganyan ka ba talaga kumain?. Pati pisngi at ilong mo nakain din." - sabay hagalpak ng tawa at naghigh- five sila ni Batchi. To the rescue naman si Bianca at sinipa ang paa ni Batchi sa ilalim ng lamesa napasigaw ito sa sakit.

"Ouch!"- daing ni Batchi

" What happened hija?." -Mommy Clara

" May sumipa pong Leon sa paa ko."

"Hai, kayo talagang mga bata kayo. Well girls you better behave yourselves. Be good."

Binelatan lang ni Bianca si Batchi na todo himas sa nasipang paa.

" Siya, tama na yan at baka magkapikunan pa kayo. After dinner pumunta kayong lahat sa library at may mahalaga akong sasabihin sa inyo mga anak. Do you still remember your Ninong Felix Galura? Well, I ask for his help for your safety and security while we go to business trip."

"Why Dad? Is Tito Ninong here did he come to visit us?."- Sheena.

"No, but he has his representatives here, and they will be your bodyguard for 3 months."

Mahabang katahimikan bago nag-react ang mga dalaga.

" What?! Dad are you sure that they can protect us especially itong butiki na 'to na baka hipan lang ng hangin ay lilipad na?."-Kontra ni Bianca.

"Hey! Don't underestimate me baka gusto mong masampulan kita diyan babaeng Leon."-Batchi

"Why you!!.-gigil na sambit ni Bianca na pasugod kay Batchi.

"Enough!! I trust them and it's for you to find out if they can protect you or not just give them a chance. So each one of you will have your personal bodyguard, and I chose already who will be incharge to each one of you. Sheena, your bodyguard will be Mike."

"What?! Itong baklang 'to ang bodyguard ko?!. Dad naman baka ako pa magtanggol diyan eh. Mas maarte pa yan sakin".

"Oi baka gusto mong tahiin ko yang bibig mo kanina ka pa." -Mike.

"Take it or leave it, kung ayaw mong ipadala ko kayo sa orphanage at kayo mag asikaso dun."

"Uh-huh sabi ko nga eh siya ang bodyguard ko"-sabay irap kay Mike.

Agad namang umakbay si Mike dito at bigla naman siyang siniko ng babae na halos ikakapos ng hininga nito.

"Bianca, si Batchi naman ang sa'yo".

"But Dad?"

"No more buts or you can choose the other option which is stay at the orphanage."

"Okay, okay fine."- tumayo si Bianca at inapakan sa paa si Batchi na tumalon sa sakit sabay tawanan ng mga dalaga.

"Oooopps! Sorry, akala ko kasi butiki eh."

"And lastly, Rhian si Glaiza bantay mo."

"As if naman may choice pa ako."- bulong ni Rhian.

"Uhm Tito Ninong mukhang ayaw naman po ng mga anak niyo na kami ang bodyguards nila, kumuha na lang po kayo ng iba." -untag ni Glaiza.

"Adios!!"-sabay sagot ng tatlong babae.

"Well kung hindi rin lang kayo ang magiging bodyguards nila then they are bound to stay in the orphanage no phones, no night outs, no gimik at all . Fair enough?."

" No, it's not fair. Dad,how can you do this to us. You're leaving us with no options at all but to accept this 3 monkeys to be with us for that period of time!."-mangiyak-ngiyak na protesta ni Rhian.

"Well then take it. They will be staying here in our house together with you ladies so don't be stubborn and be nice."

Halos mamula sa inis ang tatlong dalaga dahil hindi na nila mababago ang desisyun ng kanilang ama. Isa isa silang nagmartsa papalabas pero bago pa sila tuluyang makalabas ng pintuan ay binangga nila ang mga bodyguards nila na kinatumba ng mga ito.

"Ooopps!. Sorry not sorry."-sabay labas na parang walang nangyare.

"Well Galuras goodluck sa inyo. I hope you can tame them and do any possible way para mapaamo sila."

"Paano 'pag hindi namin sila napaamo?." -Glaiza.

"That's the challenge for the 3 of you. Nakaya niyo nga 'yung mahihirap na misyon na buhay niyo ang nakataya. Why do you have doubts in taming my daughters?. Just be yourself be alert and protect them at all cost. They are bitchy and rude, childish and have mood swings, but if you'll just learn to know them, they are just fragile, gullible , naive and innocent in many ways. Be patient and understanding. I know you can bear with them. Do you accept the challenge?."

"Challenge Accepted!!"
