Interdicted Passion: The Nerd's Prodigy (AGS #1)

KABANATA 38:

Bully

I don't know how to react. Kung malulungkot ba ako o matutuwa kasi finally I am really ain't in love with my brother. I'm so done with the incest thingy!

"W-What?" Iyon lang ang lumabas na salita sa aking bibig. I felt another batch of hot tears at the corners of my eyes. "But h-how?"

"Meiyesha tricked me. I had an accident, after years of being in coma I woke up and she claimed that I got her pregnant. She faked a dna test and worse she stole Zaffy and Darius' kid, Lincoln." He gave me a small smile while my lips parted in awe.

"Zaffy and Darius Xorgalkzki? Shy's parents?" I asked for confirmation. Nang tumango sila ay halos panawan na ako ng ulirat sa gulat.

"Wait, wait, isn't she still your wife?" I asked him in confusion.

"Well, I filed an annulment. Inaasikaso ko na iyon ngayon and as for that con-artist, she's in jail. Masyado na siyang maraming kasalanan." Nagkibit-balikat si Mr. Knight Ramirez na parang ni minsan ay hindi niya tinawag na asawa ang babaeng 'yon.

"Ate, you can now be with kuya Moon! You should get back together!" Lia shouted in glee. Pumapalakpak pa ito.

Napangiti rin ako ngunit nang maalala ang nakita ko kanina ay napawi agad ito. "It's not that easy, Lia. When you grow older you'll understand." I pinched her nose.

Pagkatapos ng madrama nilang pagsalubong ay isa-isa na kaming sumakay sa kotse'ng dala nila.

"Mangs nasaan na nga pala si Promise?"

"Hindi ko alam kung makakauwi iyon. He's still in London." Malungkot ang mga matang tumingin siya sa akin.

"What? I thought he already got home?" Pagtataka ko.

I thought he's already here and just resting. He's actually studying in Oxford University, he pursued his passion for medicine. We sometimes see each other if I have an event at London or clients there. Hindi ko pinalalampas ang tsansang makita ang abgol na iyon.

Mukhang sineseryoso na nga yata ang buhay e. Ni hindi na naglalambot-lambutan.

"My emergency raw kasi and he's currently busy with his internship. Ako na ang nag-aalala na baka inaabuso niya na ang katawan niya. Parang lagi nalang yata siyang busy e." Nalulungkot na ani mamangs. "Kaya ayokong doon siya mag-aral e."

"Nica, the offer is just too good to resist. Isa pa three well known Uni invited him. It's the Oxford University together with Cambridge and Harvard only a fool would decline such offer." Mr. Ramirez tried to reason out.

"So you're saying that Secret's a fool?" Mamangs raised an eyebrow that shocked me for a lil bit.

"What?" Naguguluhang ani Mr. Ramirez.

"She had an offer from those three Unis when she was just 13, actually it was the both of them. Pero mahigpit kong tinutulan dahil gusto kong maranasan nila ang maging bata. I don't want them to live in a bubble like lab for petes sake!" Humalukipkip si mamangs na ikinatawa ko.

That was a personal decision too.

Mr. Ramirez' shocked expression turned to me as if asking if it was real. Tumango lang ako. Hindi siguro 'to nanunuod ng balita.

Namutla naman ito at lumapit kay mamangs na nakatingin sa labas ng bintana.

Bahagya akong natawa nang maisip kong para silang mga teenager na nagtatampo't naglalambingan.

"Oh gosh! Talaga ma'am See may gano'n kang offer?" Nanlalaki ang mga mata ni Kyle. Hawak niya sa kaniyang bisig ang tulog na si Lia. Magkasundong-magkasundo kasi sila kaya sa kaniya na nagpakarga.
