GENTLEMAN'S QUEEN #8: Althea (COMPLETED)

SEVEN

THE PEREZ HOUSE kung house lang nila ito kung tawagan is grandioso. Kahit saan ka lumingon naghuhumiyaw ng karangyaan ang lugar. But the people inside is not a typical rich family who's boasting their wealth sadyang grandioso lang talaga ang bahay ngmga ito.

I myself shouldn't be shock by this kind of house, I've lived a Palace too bigger than this house actually. But still I'm overwhelm by just staring what's Perez family have. 

"Ismael"

A woman in her early fifties approach us as we arrived.

"Mom"masayang bait naman ni Ismael dito.

Looking at these two make me realize that the woman is a girl version of Ismael. Indeed these is Ismael's mother.

"Mommy, I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Attorney Althea Carson. My Honor this is my beautiful and loving mother, Avery Wilson Perez. But you can call her Mommy Issay she prefer to call in her nick name"belong nalang ni Ismael asking ang huling sinabi niya.

Ismael's mother warmly smiled at me and welcomed me with a warm hug.

"I'm glad to finally meet you Althea. My son's keeps always saying your name when ever we had a chance to talk"Sabina nitohabang yakap-yakap niya ako.

There is this feeling, a awkward feeling on my part while she's hugging me. I feel like I'm hugging my own mother as shehugs me. Kaya hindi ko napigilan na Hindi siya ganyihan ng yakap, because all of a sudden I missed my own mother.

Hindi na ako nakapagsalita pa hanggang sa makarating kami sa sa hapag-kainan. It is a simple dinner with all the Perez family, narito ang mga kapatid ni Ismael at ang mga asawa ng mga kapatid nito maging ang mga anak. Wala lang ang pamilya ni King, na Hindi naman halata dahil na din sa presensya ni Duke Perez na kambal nito.

"My honor, this is our youngest twin sister, Cristal and Jewel, that one is my Kuya Duke and the lovely lady beside him is his wife ate Eunice, their kid, Crown, Dutch and Royal. You know ate Jade already, this is her husband Kuya Ivan and their kids, Rosemarie and Duvall. And of course my very supportive and kind a protective freak father, Malik Perez, Guy's and Parents my future Althea Carson"pakilala ni Ismael sakin at sa buong pamilya niya.

they welcome me all with a warm smile and hug like Mrs. Perez do to me a while ago. I see that Ismael family is close with each other.

"Well my isa pa along kuya, ang pinakapanganay namin. You will meet him soon together with his weird family"dagdag pa ni Ismael.

"You had a big family"bulong ko sa binata ng makaupo na kami.

Narinig kong tumawa ng malakas si Jade na nasa tabi ko.

"Oh you said it right, Althea. Seguro kung Hindi nagreklamo si mommy na madami na kami hindi pa titigil si Daddy na dagdagan making mga anak niya."si Jade ang sumagot para Kay Ismael.

"And if ever that our mother didn't went to Paris before, baka walang interval ang mga edad namin"dagdag pa ni Duke.

Natawa naman making lahat sa mga sinabi ng magkakapatid. 

"What can I do, you know that I love you mom. And we love each other..."pagtatanggol naman ng matandang Perez sa sarili.

"Oh come on honey, ang sabihin mo mahilig ka lang talaga"biro naman ng ina ng tahanan.

Maging ako napatawa na din dahil doon.

"Are late?"putol ng isang lalaki na bagong dating.

Lahat kami at napatayo ng wala sa oras para salubungin ang mga bagong dating. Hindi lang papa isang lalaki ang dumating kundi dalawa.
