The Prince at ang Pobre (Completed)

Chapter 17

Zara’s POV

“Hay naku, ate. Eto na. VIP Gold na tickets ng EXO. Matatlo.” Ako na mag-isa nagrefund ne’to sa mall pagkasunod na araw ng naiwan ko ‘yung gitara ko dun. Si ate kasi. Gusto niya rin manood ng EXO. Ewan ko ba sa kanya kung bakit kahit anu-ano nalang ang fandom niya.

“Aayy! Salamat sis! Da bes’ ka talaga.” Tuwang-tuwa siya. Ewan ko ba kung natutuwa rin ako. “Makikita ko na rin sa wakas ang EXO! Aaaaay!” Hinawakan niya ‘yung mga tickets. Php 25,000 worth ang isang ticket na binili ko. Narefund ng tatlo.  Pwede pala ‘yung ganun, ano?

“Ha? Bakit tatlo? Sino ‘yung isa?” Tanong ni ate. Pero bahid parin ng excitement ang mga mata niya.

“Ewan ko. Tatlo binigay, eh. ‘Di magsama ka ng isa.” Sabi ko sa kanya. Kung pinambili ko nalang ‘yan siguro ng pagkain. Ewan. Hayaan na naten. At least masaya naman si ate. Aattend din naman kami ng concert. Nasasayangan lang talaga ako kay Prince. Hindi ko siya inabutan. Sayang lang talaga.

“Haha, sige. Ako bahala!” Excited talaga si ate, oh. Tsk!

Mr. Daniel’s POV

*phone call*

“What the hell is going on here?!”

“Well, sir. We’ve tried to cover it up but I don’t know how the laboratory still unveiled it.”

“No! This is not happening! How could you let yourselves fail!”

No! I will not jeopardize the fate of the company because of some father who lost his son. No! This will not happen Zeik! This will not happen!

“We’ve tried our best, sir. I’m very sorry.”

“Well, you’re best is no… Thank you for your service and…”

*beep*

“…enjoy your remaining days.”

“Wait! No sir, no! Please, noo…”

*beep* *hang up*

No! How could this happen?! Ginawa ko na ang lahat para hindi masayang ang mga pinaghirapan ko sa kumpanyang ito! You can’t do this to me, Anderson! You caaan’t!

Akin ang kompanyang ito! You can’t just give it to anyone just like that! I’ve spent my sweat and blood growing this company. You can’t just threw me away! No!

*flashback 17 years ago*

(A hospital in Birmingham, United Kingdom)

“They are twins! They are twins!” I could hear Zeik shouting for joy as he went outside the delivery room.

“Dan! Can’t you believe it? They are twins and they’re boys!”

“Yes, Zeik. We’ve already known that months ago before they were born.”

“I know but, I just can’t believe it!” He seemed so surprise. “You know what, Dan? When my boys grow up, I would let them run my company. They would team up to form a better stock broker company ever in history. What do you say?”

“As for me?” I couldn’t understand. What is he saying? I thought he said that both of us will rule the world. His sons were never a part of it. No! This is outrageous! “I don’t understand, Zeik.”

How about my family back in the Philippines? How about my twins that are also in my wives womb? Hindi ko sila pwedeng pabayaan!

“What do you mean, you don’t understand? I made the company.”
