Tame The Bad Boy

Chapter 32: Luke

Reason

"I can't believe that this is happening" Clint said while pacing back and forth. Hindi naman na makatiis ang asawa niyang si Selene kaya pinaupo na siya nito then curled her arms around him like a child being cradled.

Supposedly, si Pepper dapat ang gumagawa ng reaksyon ni Clint but throughout the time na nasa loob sila ng opisina ni Ronan, hindi pa siya nagsasalita. Everything's too much for her to take in. Nangyayari na ang kinakatakutan niya.

"I'm afraid na hindi magpaparaya ang anak ko, Pepper" Ronan said quietly to her

"So is my son" she answered him in a the same equal tone

Napailing si Almira na nakaupo sa likod ng asawa niya na hinihimas ang sentido nito.

"Kahit sa panaginip hindi ko inisip na mangyayari to. Luke and Chaser. They're like brothers already. Marami na rin silang mga kalokohan na ginawa and even dated numerous girls pero ngayon lang nangyari na nagkagusto sila sa isang babae" she said na mas lalong ikinailing ng lahat maliban kay Pepper

"And we can't just let this happen. Paul told me Pepper na nagsuntukan ang dalawang yun nung kailan lang na hindi ka umuwi sa inyo" sabi ni Clint sa kaibigan.

"Lily told me that. At may teacher din na nagsabi sa'kin na nung kailan din sa cafeteria muntik na naman silang magsuntukan" she answered at tumingin sa mag asawang Sta. Romana. And based from the looks on their faces mukhang ngayon lang nila nalaman ang bagay na yun.

"Kung sa ibang pagkakataon matatawa na lang ako eh. This is De Salvo vs. Sta Romana again. No offense meant, Almira" pasok ni Selene sa usapan

Ngumiti naman si Almira "None taken. Actually yan din ang naisip ko nung una. I even laughed about it but this time I can't dahil lumalala na sila. Even Paul and Mara are affected. It's bizarre to see na dati apat sila sa bahay na pumupunta ngayon dalawa o tatlo na lang" she understated. And really, it's breaking her heart.

"What shall we do? Should I pull out Anna's scholarship para malayo sa kanilang dalawa?" Ronan suggested

The other four in the room looked at him horrified. Even his wife na hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya.

"Babe, you can't just do that! Hindi naman kasalanan ni Anna na nagustuhan siya nung dalawa!" his wife snapped at her

"Yeah, it isn't Anna's fault that she's nice. I met her once and I can say that she's really nice. Which reminds me of Selene here.." Clint said kung kaya't kahit paano gumaan na ang atmosphere sa paligid.

"Do not take this all personally, Ronan. Matatanda na ang mga anak natin and whatever their decisions will be, it's up to them. Hindi na sila mga bata na kailangan natin kontrolin. Wag lang nila tayo bibigyan ng kahihiyan" Pepper said coldly. Hindi naman na niya hinintay ang sagot ng mga kasama sa kwarto cause she's sure that she had made her point clearly.

She stood up and left the room quietly. Nung medyo nakakalayo na siya may narinig siyang nagsalita

"Do you really mean that, Pep?" tanong sa kanya ng bestfriend niyang si Clint na nakasunod pala sa kanya. She stopped walking kaya huminto rin ito.

She let out a heavy sigh and look at her bestfriend helplessly. Which is very different from the cold facade that she showed everyone in the room last time.

"I don't know, Clint. Isn't it a bit cruel if I will stop my son from liking that girl?" she asked troubled.

Clint held her shoulder dahil nag aalala ito na mag break down na lang siya bigla. "Your son loves you. There's no bad in trying to persuade him" payo nito sa kanya.
