"When ill luck begins, it does not come in sprinkles, but in showers."― Mark Twain

❖❖❖

Luke Markos Latsis

"I'm glad you remembered us, dude!" kantyaw ni Jeron habang pinagmamasdan nitong sunod-sunod na nilagok ni Markos ang beer nito. Inis na inis siya sa kanyang mga magulang. Pakiramdam niya, itinapon siya nito.

He remembered his dad's words ...

"Yes, a year. You will be her maid. Deal or no deal," eto ang bumungad sa kanya sa kanyang pagbabalik. "One year working as a maid for her, or you can leave and expect nothing from us. You've done so much humiliation in this family, I have nothing left sympathy for you!"

Napamura na naman siya habang tinutungga ang beer nito.

Pagkatapos nilang itapon siya sa condo ni Barbie, whom he refers Chinny Sandoval — the spoiled but obedient kid, naive and inexperienced — he took off to the bar, meeting his friends whom he didn't see for long years after hiding in Greece.

"I'm sorry, bud. I just need some air and I didn't intend to stay in Greece longer," he explained, at ramdam nito ang sakit ng nangyayari sa kanya ngayon. Honestly, nagtatampo siya sa magulang niya. Yes, he disobeyed them, left them without a word, stood up the only daughter of the Sandoval's family, a family closest friends, but he doesn't deserve to be a maid of that girl and seriously? For a year? He was their only son, how could they do this to him.

He swigged his beer again, one after another.

Damn he's mad. A year to be a maid, it is preposterous idea. And if he finds that Barbie has something to do with this, he'll make her life a hell. Well, he can start soon and maybe she'll voluntarily fired her and they both be on their own.

"So, where are you going to work again?" VP asked. Lalong nairita si Markos. Matalim na tiningnan nito si Vance Phillip but the other just shot him a cocked-eyed. He was unfazed. He knew Markos long enough to be intimidated. Magkakaibigan ang mga ito since diapers.

Vance Phillip just passed his doctor's certificate and now working in their own hospital. Si Jeron naman, isang piloto at malapit na itong maging kapitan.

Jeron and VP stared at him, inaantay ang sagot nito. Markos emptied his beer and then places it down hard on the table. Nasa bar sila ngayong gabi na pag-aari din ng mga magulang ni Jeron. Gabby is busy tonight, kaya hindi ito nakapunta according to them.

"Maid!" matalim na sagot nito shifting his eyes back and forth to the two annoying species across him.

"MAID/Maid?" magkasabay na sagot nila. Napaubo pa si Jeron dahil sa gulat. They were gawking at him saka unti-unting nawala ng pagkagulat sa mga mukha ng mga ito. An amused grin playing across their lips which he ignored. He needs their company tonight, kahit na ang kailangan niya ay babaeng magpapainit sa kanya tonight, but he knew, if things gets complicated, he can't compensate them to make them disappear.

Tempest Yda left him for another man. Dahil wala na siyang allowance na natatanggap, her love for him suddenly vanished faster than his inheritance. "Waiter!" he flagged down one across them who was tending another table. Nasaktan siya ng todo dahil sa laki ng isinakrispisyo niya. Sariling mga magulang sinuway niya at ipinaglaban siya, but had he felt at some point na pag mawalan siya ng pera, Tempest would not think twice to leave him. But his head down there had decided for him, and his anger towards his father's controlling nature pushed him to disobey.
