Semua Bab OH NO! MY SON'S FATHER IS A RICH MAN I MUST MARRY: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“Mommy?” Tanong ulit ni Brent habang nakatulalang nakatingin ang mama niya kay Trojack. “Did I interrupt you guys?” He asked then smiled for a bit. “Uh, well,” napatigil saglit si Rosa, nagiisip ng iba pang sasabihin, “would you like to come inside?” “Since you are offering, why not?” Sagot nito sa kaniya. Bakas na bakas ang saya ni Brent sa mukha nito, hindi halos ito kumurap na nakatingin sa matangkad na lalaki. Sabay sabay silang pumasok ng bahay at pinaupo muna ni Rosa ang bisita. “I’ll change my son's clothes muna, you can wait here for a moment. Do you have anything that you would like? Juice? Coffee?” Nakangiting tanong ni Rosa. “Thanks for the offer pero kaya ko naman mag-wait sa inyo rito. Besides, I got coffee earlier,” sagot ni Trojack at umupo na sa sofa. Pumunta ng kusina si Rosa kasama ang bungisngis na anak nito at hinanap si Gigi. “Gigi, may bisita tayo, puwede bang ikaw muna ang kumausap sa kaniya or if may kailangan siya?” Bulong niya. “Ay, opo na

Pagkabukas ng elevator ay bumungad sa kanila ang napakalaking hallway na may mga malalaking mga pinto. Mukha itong mansyon sa sobrang ganda, halos makita mo ang sarili mo sa bawat sulok.“Are you guys okay?” he asked as they stepped out of the elevator.She replied, “Y-yeah, just amazed how beautiful this place is.”“Mommy, para tayong mayaman. Tignan mo po oh, halos makita ko yung mukha ko sa lapag,” natatawang sambit ng anak niya while looking down the floor.“Kaya nga e’, kitang kita kapogian ng anak kong mabait.” Agad naman niyang hinawakan ang kamay ni Brent and they all started walking in the hallway.Bawat pinto ay may nakalagay na number kaya hindi rin naman sila nahirapang hanapin yung sinabi ng nasa reception.1205Nagayos ng kaunti ng sarili si Trojack at kumatok sa pintuan. May lumabas na isang waiter na may tuwalya sa braso.“Is this Mr. Yddro?” Matipid na tanong ng waiter.“Yes.”“Welcome, please come this way.” Binuksan agad nito ang malaking pinto and let them enter.N

Gloria didn’t need to ask for clarification. She knew, sa sarili niya mismo, that this wasn’t about the love of any one person. Mas malalim pa ito, something Rosa had been struggling with for a long time. Ang katahimikan sa paligid nila ng ilang segundo, napahinga siya ng malalim.“Alam mo, ‘nak,” Gloria finally said, her voice low and steady, “that’s a question na hindi madaling sagutin. But, there is one thing I am sure of, and that is love is not about whether you deserve it. Ang pagmamahal ay walang kondisyon na ganiyan.”Rosa shook her head, her shoulders stiffening. She folded her arms across her chest, as if trying to hold herself together dahil parang maiiyak na lang siya any second now. “I don’t know, after everything that happened lalo na in the past 5 years. Hindi ako perpektong tao pero ano po bang ginawa to get betrayed like that? Ang mismong kaibigan kong si Sheena at step sister ko pa talaga ang nagplano para babuyin ako,” her voice cracked, and tears started to roll dow

“My name is Detective Turner, your grandmother is already safe at may mga nakaduty na police around her room, and the whole hospital,” he paused then looked at both of them, “we just need where were you and who could possibly do this. Can we talk for a minute inside this room, ma’am?”Trojack said, “Shouldn’t she wash herself muna? Tignan mo ang itsura niya, she is full of blood. Paano kung makita pa iyan ng anak niya? Can you explain it to him?” He was clearly pissed.“Sorry, my bad. I’ll bring some towels, and some clothes para sa inyo. We will talk with your son for a moment while you change. You can change muna then we will proceed for the questioning.” Umalis agad ang Detective sa harapan nila, then some people went to them with towels.“Hi, my name is Hara, let’s clean up, shall we?” Isang babae na naka-police unifrom ang lumapit kay Rosa.Tumingin si Rosa kay Trojack, waiting for him to say na okay lang na magkahiwalay muna sila ng saglit at sumama siya sa police, and he nodded

Wala pang kalahating minuto, dumating na agad si Trojack. “Let's go, the detective told me that they're going to take care of this case,” he paused then exhaled, “we should go have some rest lalo na gabi na.” Rosa nodded and looked at his son, then sighed. “Where will we go now? If someone was confident enough to shoot your grandmother, paano pang mga buhay namin?” “You can stay at our house for now if you like. My assistant will get your things there. Lumipat na muna kayo pansamantala sa amin, it is not safe out there.” He said, offering them and this voice gentle. She somehow hesitated, her eyes filled with uncertainty. Pero dahil wala rin naman silang choice kung hindi sumama sa kanya dahil mas safe kung may nagbabantay sa kanila. His offer was the only hope that they can have, especially in the midst of crisis and despair. Naisip rin niya na kailangan ng company ni Trojack lalo na yung lola niya ay nasa ospital. “We will stay at your house for the meantime, pero dapat
