"Lolo, have mercy!"
"Wife, save me, please!"
"Aahh! It almost bite me!"
"I'm gonna die!"
Natawa ang tatlong matanda habang ang magulang, kapatid at asawa ay hindi alam kung matatawa o maaawa. Good thing the kids are busy playing inside the big tent. Nasa labas sila ng malawak na bermuda grass para isagawa ang pagpaparusa ng labingwalo.
"I never seen Hover this scared." Hera can't help but to smirk evilly while looking at his younger brother.
"Who wouldn't? When they all see the wild big crocodiles under them." Hera's husband said while secretly held his wife's hand under the table.
Nagtitigan ang mag-asawa ng pasimple but Czaven witness their little gestures. Nasa tabi lang siya ng mag-asawa habang nakatingin sa asawa niyang nakakapit sa lubid at takot na takot mahulog na para bang may kung ano sa ibaba.
What they are seeing is big hungry crocodiles in the pool habang sila naman ay nakabitin sa ere at nakakapit lang sa lubid. They're wearing VR kaya nakakita ito ng mga buwaya kahit ang totoo ay isang malaking swimming pool lang naman ang nasa ilalim. They didn't know that it was VR, it was designed to look like goggles and they were trick by the second gen that it was for safety purposes. Kaya ayon, kanya-kanyang kapit sa lubid.
"Lolo, hindi naman kami ang nag-vandalized kay Fourth, eh!" Reklamo ni Heazen at ginalaw ang paa na para bang muntik ng atakehin ng buwaya kahit wala naman.
"Still, your fault why leave Fourth unguarded. Gaano ba kabigat ang tahong, ha?" Lolo Goo asked.
"Pinaghahatian po kasi namin, Lolo." Pagrarason ni Hinx.
Para silang bumalik sa pagkabata n'ong pinaparusahan silang lahat. Ang dati lang ay naparusahan sila kasi nagsuntukan ba naman sila.
"And you cannot do it at home? Hmm. Isa rin 'yan. You don't trust each other. Na para bang iniisip niyo na hindi kayo mababahagian ng tama. Greedy and selfish. Is that what the Benjamins thought you?" Lolo Gun asked.
Natahimik naman ang labing walo. They are still moving as if they're being attacked by creatures down there while tightly holding the rope.
"P-parang hindi na ako makakapit." Heazen grunt as he tried to hold to tge rope but he keep on sliding down because his palm started to bruise.
"Lolo..." Czaven's eyes clouded in tears as she tried to plead.
Kalmado lang ang ibang asawa ng mga Benjamin. Siguro dahil sanay na ang mga ito at alam nitong hindi ito mapapahamak. Pero siya na baguhan pa lang sa pamilya medyo naninibago talaga siya.
Benjamins are rough and ruthless, she have been warned by her Ate. She was fine with it because she love Heazen so much that she'll accept him, but Benjamins are really Benjamins. Merciless.
Lolo Glaze smiled softly at his great grandaughter in law.
"Sshh. Your husband won't die, Czaven. They just have to learn." Lolo Glaze said calmly.
Naramdaman niya ang paghagod ni Celine sa kanyang likuran na para bang pinapakalma siya.
"They'll be fine. If the Lolos have no mercy at all, they wouldn't be having medics." Sabi ni Celine at tinuro ang ambulance sa may gilid. May mga nurse na lalaki ring nandoon nakahanda.
Pero mas lalo lang ata siyang kinabahan.
"Baka siguro may ambulansya kasi may mas lalala pa?" She gasped.
Corrine chuckled and shook his head.
"No. Just trust Heazen." Corrine smiled.
"They'll be fine, Cza. Ganoon talaga ang mga Benjamin." Dagdag pa ni Coleen.
