Book 1 : Brat Princess meets a Cold Prince

Chapter 9 . Sulli Scott

*LUKE POV*

She was really annoying! I hate her guts! No one dared to insult me especially in front of many people.

"Luke!" Natigil ang pagiisip ko at lumingon. I smiled as I watch her run to me. Mabilis niya akong yinakap ng mahigpit that's why I laughed.

"I miss you luke. Kayo nila mommy" sabi niya habang nakayakap. Ginulo ko ang buhok niya kaya pinalo niya ako sa braso.

"I hate to say but I miss you too. Let's go" yaya ko sakanya.

Sinundo ko ang ate ko from Paris. She was an achiever pero nung sinubukan ibigay sakanya ang kompanya ay naging vocal siya na ayaw niya and I felt like I need to save her so I told them that I'll take over to save her.

*Ryle POV*

"Guys, may nakuha akong balita. Supposed to be.. ang ate ni Luke pala ang mag te-take over ng company nila. She was very responsible na opposite ni Luke pero walang may alam kung anong nangyari. She went to Paris and became a model there." balita ni Tin samin habang nag lalakad kami papunta sa ice cream parlor.

"Ohhh, really?" sabi ko lang. Wala naman yon sa isip ko, ang nasa isip ko ay kung paano ko ba matatakasan ang lahat. I'm loosing grip and feeling ko kahit anong oras ay matatalo ako.

I don't have any strong weapon. Ang salita ko lang ang armas ko but even that, hindi ganon kalakas. I don't know how to make them stop.

"Yan lang reaction mo?" tanong ni Ailee. Kumunot ang noo ko. Ano pa bang gusto nila?

"Bak--" naputol ang sasabihin ko dahil may nakabunggo ako.

"Sorry po." sabi ko habang nag ba-bow. Damn! Ayoko ng may nakakabangga.

"It's okay" nag-angat ako ng tingin at napaawang ang labi ko. Napatingin ako sa kasama niya at nagulat ako nang makita si Luke. Memories flashed through me. Ang kapal ng mukha niyang tignan ako sa mata after what he did.

"Oh! Ikaw si Ryle? Pinakita ni mommy sakin yung picture ng ina-arrange kay luke 'e" she said sweetly to me at nag smile siya. Is this Luke's sister. They're total opposite. Bakit hindi nalang siya nagmana sa ate niya?

"Opo ako nga po si Ryle Sofia Harris" sabi ko. I still need to show respect kahit na gusto kong sapakin ang kapatid niya right here and there.

"Oh. Hi! I am Sulli Scott." She said sweetly. Inabot niya ang kamay niya at masaya ko itong tinanggap.

Her whole presence shout sophistication and elegance

"Sige po aalis na kami. Nice meeting you po." Wika ko pero bago pa kami makaalis ay hinawakan niya ako sa braso. I saw how Luke wanted to oppose.

"Bonding muna tayo. Don't worry hindi kasama si Luke. Please.." sabi ng ate niya. Wow.. that's sound so great! Hindi kasama si Luke? Why not?

"Hm.. sige po." Sagot ko at mabilis niya kaming hinigit papasok ng Ice Cream Parlor. Iniwan namin si Luke doon at wala akong pakielam kung saan siya pumunta.

"So paano niyo po nalaman na ayokong makasama si Luke" tanong ko sa ate niya. Of course.. I know she knows. Hindi niya naman sasabihin yon kung hindi.

"I can read people, Ryle. I saw it.. kita ko sa ekspresyon mo na ayaw mo makasama si Luke.."

I was shocked.. hindi pala ako nagtagumpay na itago yon.

"Halata pala.." tumawa nanaman siya. Kaya hindi ko rin napigilan ang matawa.

"I like you for my brother actually" bigla niyang sinabi na ikinagulat ko. Why? Is this good? Baka mas lalo kaming mapush kung pati ate niya ay pabor sa amin. This can't be.

Nagring ang phone niya kaya natigilan kami sa pagkkwentuhan.

"Yes?" sagot ni Ate Sulli sa nasa kabilang linya. Lumingon lingon siya sa paligid.

"I'm here.. dito sa ice cream parlor kung saan dati tayo nag hahang-out" sabi niya ulit. She was smiling the whole time. Her eyes we're glowing. I wonder sino ang kausap niya.

"Sure.. I'll wait for you" sabi niya at inend na niya yung call. She sweetly smiled at us again.

"So let's go back! I still hope na maging kayo ng kapatid ko sa huli. I realy really hope so" she vocally said.  I don't even know what to answer.

"Ate.." I can't even say something.

"Nakakatuwa ka talaga" biglang may pumasok na sobrang.. gwapong lalaki. Agad na lumapit ito sa amin kaya tumayo si Ate Sulli. She wrapped her hands in his hands.

"So guys.. this is Taemin, my boyfriend. Taemin.. this is Ryle, my brother's soon-to-be fiance and her friends." Pagpapakilala niya. Tumayo kami bilang pag respeto naman.

"Hi" sabi lang ni Kuya Teamin. Oh! Man-of-few words 'eh?

"Sige.. we have to go. It was really nice meeting you. I will have a party sa bahay namin, 6:00 pm. Just wear casual clothes and you're fine. Aasahan ko kayo okay? Bye!" Napaawang ang labi ko.. hindi niya man kami hinayaan magsalita.

Hindi naman sa ayokong pumunta pero as much as possible ay ayokong makagawa ng speculations na close kami ni Luke or what. Baka ano pang isipin nila.

"Grabe! Goddess is an understatement! She was beyond beautiful." Wika ni Ailee.

She was.. no doubt!

"Yeah! I agree with you!" sabi ni Tin habang nakangiti.

"I wanna be like her someday" sabi naman ni Sab. Of course! Who wouldn't? She was so successful.

"Tara mag register na tayo sa battle of the bands" saad ko para makaalis na kami. We still need to do stuff.

"Let's go!" sabi nilang tatlo.

We registered and we decided that we will handle the instruments randomly. I prefer it also that way.

"So guys.. kita kita nalang tayo mamaya sa party ah." sabi ni Ailee. We still need to go. I don't want to but we need to.

It's still 3pm so I still have time to think over pero mukhang wala akong wala kung nakapagdesisyon na sila.

"Siguradong makikita natin yung mga asungot don." That's what I am talking about! Please tell me na ayaw niyo na ring pumunta!

"Pero sayang.. we still need to go. Hindi naman sila ang ipupunta natin doon kung hindi si Ate Sulli." Paliwanag ni Ailee. Yeah! I get it.. wala ng rason. Pupunta na talaga kami.

"See you!" Now, I'm going home.

Bahala na sa kung anong iisipin nila. Basta my decision won't change. Ayoko pa rin.. ayokong magpakasal o ma engage sa taong hindi ko naman kilala ng lubusan. This is so damn!
