Pyrmont Crown

Chapter 36

NAPANGITI SI Pyr nang makitang binuksan ni Dessert ang pintuan ng bahay nila.

Two weeks. Two weeks was enough to heal the injury his son sustained and for his bruises to fade. Ginawa niya ang lahat para lang walang mabalitaan si Dessert na nahanap na nila si Rou.

For Dessert to see Rouen in the state when he found him will undoubtedly break her heart. And he doesn't want that for her.

Matapos ang naranasan at naramdaman niya ng araw na nahanap niya si Rouen, ayaw niya ng ipakita pa kay Dessert ang kalagayan ng anak nila.

It would certainly make her remember the day when she finds out Vegas needs heart surgery. The pain, fear and horror will linger in her as she waits for Rou to get better. Makes her feel guilty for selling Rou.

So he opted to delay the meeting of Dessert and Rouen. Made sure Rou is fully recovered before he asked for his friends to bring his son to his Mymy.

"You are now home, Rou..." Pyrmont whispered with a contented smile.

When he saw that his friends began to enter his house, Pyr drove off.

Pumunta siya sa bahay ng isa niyang kapatid, si Mirrow. Pagka-park ng sasakyan niya sa garage ay nagmamadali siyang pumasok sa loob.

"Tammy!" Tawag niya.

Walang sumagot.

"Tammy!" Muli niyang tawag.

Ilang sandali lang ay may narinig siyang yabag. Napangiti siya ng makita ang batang babae na mukhang galing sa back garden ng bahay ni Mirrow. Kasunod si Savannah na mukhang siyang nag-alaga kay Tammy.

Mula nang makabalik siya ng Crown Island ay sa bahay ni Mir niya iniwan ang bata na nagpakilala bilang Tammy. Si Savannah ang madalas magbantay sa bata o 'di kaya ang isa pang babae nilang kaibigan na minsan natutulog sa bahay ng kapatid niya, si Evanescent.

"Good that you're here," Savannah said, smiling. "I have to check on someone, you have time to look for this little cutie here, yeah?"

Tumango si Pyr. "Thanks, Van." He spread his arm to hug his friend.

"Don't mention it," anito saka humiwalay sa kanya at hinarap si Tammy. "Tita Vannah will be gone, for now, be good, okay? And don't let anyone bully you." Savannah winked.

"Yes, tita Vannah. Thank you," Tammy replied with a soft smile.

Savannah offered a fist bump before straightening and tapping his shoulder to slyly say bye.

"Hey, princess, come, I have great news for you." Baling niya kay Tammy nang makaalis sa Savannah.

"Kuya is alyeady out of the hospital?" She guessed while taking a small step towards him.

Pyrmont chuckled. "Yup!" Kinarga niya ito nang makalapit ito saka dinala sa kusina.

"When am I going to see him again?" tanong nito nang maibaba niya ito sa kitchen island.

"Don't move, okay? Just sit, I'm going to prepare you food." Bilin niya dito. "And for your question, uncle Grant still has to check kuya Rou and we have to wait a few more days and we will see when."

"Why do we have to wait? Does byother hate me still?" malungkot nitong tanong.

Binitawan ni Pyr ang plastic bag ng frozen vegetable saka bumalik sa tabi ni Tammy at inayos ang ilang hibla ng buhok nito.

"Kuya Rou doesn't hate you—"

"He does. He always push me aside and shouts at me that he hates me," sumbong nito. "Galit siya kasi unfaiy tyeatment nila Mommy at Daddy sa amin. He said I get all the love that's why he hates me."
