My 7 Secret Husbands

Chapter 10

Bianca's POV

"Say it again?" Tanong ng Lola ni Brent. Napatawa naman ang Lola niya.

"She is, halmeoni!" Sabi ni Brent. He squeezed my hand a bit, too. "Kasal kami." At pinakita niya ang singsing na suot niya. Wala akong napansin na singsing na suot niya kanina ah.

"Good afternoon po." And I bowed politely. Tumayo na din ako kaagad.

"안녕하세요, 미스." Sabi ng Lola ni Brent. I really did not understand it. Brent smiled and looked back at his Lola.

"그녀는 한국어, 할머니 말을하지 않습니다." Then he started to laugh. His grandmother did the same. Nakakaramdam na ako ng pagiging outcast dito ah!

Hinarap ako ni Brent. "Sabi ni Halmeoni, 'Good Afternoon, Miss.' Ang sabi ko naman, 'She doesn't speak Korean, Grandmother.' " Pagpapaliwanag niya. Tumango na lang ako.

"Come on dear, let's have some kimchi noodles. I made the pasta myself." Pag-aaya ng Lola ni Brent.

"Thank you po." Sabi ko naman.

The old lady escorted us to the coconut tree near by. Surrounding it was tables and chairs.

"Wait here." Sabi ng Lola niya noong nakaupo na kami. Katahimikan, yan ang meron ngayon.

"Okay ka lang?" Tanong niya para magkaingay naman.

"Yeah." Simple kong sagot. Ewan ko pero parang noong narinig ko na tinanong niya kung may gusto ba talaga daw ako kay Kristoff, alam mo yung parang nakaramdam ako ng awkwardness.

"Wag mo na lang alalahanin yung tinanong ko kanina. Asawa mo kaming pito. I can't own you. Isa pa, I think and feel that I am not interested in you. Can you do that?" He asked. Ang harsh!

Tumango na lang ako.

Natatakot kasi akong magkagusto siya sa akin. I mentally laughed, mangyayari ba naman kaya yun?

The silence that surrounds us was broken by his Lola.

"손자, 이걸 나르 게 도와 줘." Sabi ng Lola niya. She was holding a tray with bowls on top of it. Hindi ko naintindihan ang sinabi niya kaya umupo nalang ako ng maayos.

Thank goodness the silence and awkwardness is now over.

Brent stood up and carried the tray for the old lady. He put the tray on top of the table and seated with us. The old lady gave me my bowl and gave Brent his. She took a bowl for herself and used chopsticks to eat.

I was taught how to use chopsticks when I was young, so I am using it right now.

"젓가락 사용법을 잘 안다." The old lady said using her own language while smiling at me.

"She said that it's a good thing you know how to use chopsticks." Brent translated. I smiled amd thanked her.

I took a bite at the kimchi noodles. I thought that it will not be very spicy. I thought that it will taste the same with what my mom used to make. Pero nagkamali ako, the spiciness is burning my tongue!

I tried fanning my toungue with my hand. Napansin iyon ng Lola ni Brent.

"Oh sweetie, I thought you can eat something that spicy. Bring her some ice cold water, Brent." Pagkasabi ng Lola ni Brent yun ay sinunod niya na. He ran inside and brought out a glass of cold water. He quickly handed it to me and I hurriedly drank it. Halata sa kanya ang pag-aalala.
