Disturbed Serenity

28 - Hopeful case

First Person Point of View.

"Are you ready to go now?"

I nodded at Hugo while he was guiding my way down to our staircase. Lumipas na ang ilang araw at parang bumalik na kami sa normal, except that my daddy is still not waking up. After many days, I have managed my emotions because I need to be strong for my two brothers and our company.

Auntie Esmeralda leads our company for now while I continue to study it every day. Ang layo man sa course na kinuha kong education, but what can I do? I am the heiress, and I need to be responsible for this. Masyado pang bata ang dalawa kong kapatid para matuto.

Papasok ako sa office ngayon to help Auntie sign the documents needed. Marami na rin akong mga naging kilala sa opisina kaya hindi mahirap ang pag-ikot ikot ko ron. While Hugo is still working under us. He is our bodyguard, actually, my bodyguard.

After niyang magpahinga nang halos dalawang araw nakarecover na rin naman siya. Ayon sakaniya normal lang naman sakanila ang natatamaan, at nasanay na siya. Halos mapailing ako nang malaman ko iyon. I don't want to dictate what he wants to do, but I am just concerned with his welfare almost every day.

"Do I look okay?" I squeezed his hand to call his attention. 

Sumilip ito, at ngumiti. "You look beautiful all the time."

Ngumuso ako, "Why?" Natatawa niyang tanong.

"Ganito ba talaga ang may boyfriend? Sinasabi na lagi nalang maganda? Can you please be objective, Hugo?"

Totoo naman eh, ang hirap kayang humarap sa maraming tao. Though, I am guided with Mama Diva, and Auntie Esmeralda sa mga isusuot ko gusto ko lang din ng iba pang opinion.

"Hmmm..." Humawak ito sa ibaba ng kanyang baba.

I raised my right brow at him. "Except for the glimpse of your cleavage, everything is beautiful."

"Oh my gosh!" Hinampas ko siya natatawa naman ito.

"I meant, my outfit, not my boobs!" Naiiling kong sabi, habang nararamdaman ang init ng pisngi ko.

"It's true. I may not agree with that kind of style, but I trust your stylist and your aunt because they are better than me."

Hindi ko na rin napigilan ang ngiti sa sinabi niya. "You look beautiful, Ysela. I promise you."

Hinalikan niya ang ibabaw ng kamay ko bago pa ako makasagot someone called us!

"Ate!" From Zayn.

"Kuya!" From Zion.

Tumingin ako sa baba at nakita na kumakaway sila sa amin mula sa dulo ng hagdan. Gosh, we are flirting early in the morning.

"Good morning, my kambal!" Sagot ko sakanila, habang hinahatak si Hugo pababa.

"Good morning!" Sabay nilang sagot, at yakap sa akin pagbaba ko ng hagdan.

"School?" Referring to their uniform.

Tumango ang dalawa. "Okay, ingat kayo ha. See you later, and galingan niyo." Yumuko ako para medyo magpantay ang mukha namin. They are taller now but still lower than me.

"How is daddy ate?" Zion asked, and Tumango si Zayn sa akin.

I sighed and tried to smile. "Daddy needs time to recover, and I will make sure that I will bring him home. Just be a good student every day, okay?"

They smiled too, "I miss him..." Zayn said.

Niyakap ko silang dalawa. "I miss him too, I'll make sure to kiss him on behalf of you, and if he's awake, I'll let you visit him."
