My Modern Cinderella

02-Kang Cousins

Third Person's P O V

Habang nag dri-drive ang tatlong mag pipinsan ay naka tanggap sila ng isang text mula sa kanilang Lolo.

"Arrive exactly at 6 p.m.  There's been an important  new development. "

Inignora lamang nila ito.  Ngunit ng makita nila ang mga sumunod na text ay napilitan silang pumunta roon.

"If you don't come.  I will place a hold on all of your credit cards."

Makalipas ang ilang minuto sabay sabay sila nakarating sa Hanuel Group.  Nagkatinginan silang tatlo ngunit walang may balak kumibo sakanila. 

Sabay sabay silang naglakad sa hallway kung saan sila ay pinag titinginan ng mga tao rito. 

Bihira lamang kasi nila makitang nasa iisang lugar ang mag pipinsan dahil sa kanilang relasyon sa bawat isa.

Pumasok sila sa isang office at sabay sabay na nagtanong.

"Did grandpa lose everything?"

"Did granpa pass out?"

"Where's grandpa? "

Napatingin naman sa kanyang relo si Secretary Kim upang siguraduhin na tamang oras sila nakarating.  Pinaupo niyang ang mga ito at saka binigyan na isang imbitasyon.

"What the hell is this that you'd even place a hold on my cards over it? " inis na tanong ni Hyun Min.  The first in line sa Hanuel Group.

"I cancelled my plans for today, for this! " pag mamaktol naman ni Seo Woo.  The third in line.

"I wouldn't have been able to see all three of you at once otherwise " sagot naman ni Secretary Kim

"Are you the one who contacted us? "  inis na tanong ni Ji Won. "Are you messing with us right now?! "

Binuksan naman ni Hyun Min ang invitation card "This is grandpa's.... "

"Grandpa's wedding invitation? Wow.  Are you serious? "

"Yeah.  Honestly this isn't right" sang ayon naman ni Seo Woo.

"I'm not going"mabilis na sagot ni Ji won.

Napatingin naman sakanya si Hyun Min. "Ya,  you're not the only one who doesn't want to go. "

"All three of you brothers must attend " pag puputol na sabi ni secretary Kim.

"Who are you calling brothers?! "mag kasabay na saad ng dalawa.

"First there was a cousin that popped out of the blue and now we're getting a new grandma who's my mom's age?" pabalik na tanong ni Hyun Min.

"That's why i said i don't want to go" sagot naman ni Ji Won

"Are you two at it again? " inis na tanong ni Seo Woo sakanila.

Marahas na itinapon ni Ji Won ang invitation card dahil sa inis niya.

"Kang Ji Won"tawag sakanya ni Secretary Kim.

"Who the hell are you to call me Kang Ji Won? I'm Han Ji Won" pagkatapos niya iyong sabihin lumabas na ito ng padabog.

"I'll be leaving too then.  I have a lot on my schedules, you see" saad ni Seo Woo sabay pakita ng kanyangg cellphone nakanina pa nag riring. Ng makalabas na ito biglang nag salita si Secretary Kim.

"You must attend"

"Of course.  It's  grandpa's fifth wedding after all. I'll even bring a gift " pagkatapos nitong sabihin iyon ay lumabas na rin siya.
