Chapter 17

Magkasama kaming pumasok ni Lean sa loob nang bahay lahat sila nandito sa bahay namin. Nakangiting sumalubong ang yaya namin.

“Sino sila?”. Sabi ni Yaya. Siya yung mommy namin now ni Kuya Harem. At pinatuloy naman niya lahat ng kasama ko. Kilala ni Yaya si Papa.

“Sir kasama din kayo.” Sambit ni Yaya.

“Ma nagkita kami sa Daeya. Remember my birthday place.” I said she nodded. But my father was reminiscing about the time my mom was still alived.

“Tama na iyan tumuloy na muna kayo. Alam Kong pagod na pagod kayo. Nagready na ako kanina pumasok na kayo. Nasa kusina na ang lahat ng foods. Tara na.” Sabi ni Yaya. Pero nagtataka lang ako hindi naman namin siya nasabihan. Actually it's been a long time since we got a call from her. So I asked her.

“Ma, who told you were going to comeback? No one ever told you that were going to go back?”. She said. She was looking at me and then Su-Yhun raised her hand.

“I’m the one who told her. I call to my mom and she was with my mom so she heard it.” Su-Yhun said.

“Ah I thought you’re also a vampire or something eh.” She said. But Yaya look on my dad. Like what the hell is that.

“I’m her brother.” Sabi ni papa.

“Oh? Talaga ba? Ola, ang dami na nating pamilya Kuya Harem. Hinding-hindi na tayo mangangamba na wala na tayong pamiĺyang kakapitan kundi tayong dalawa lang. Ngayon kasi may Tita na tayo may papa pa tayo.” I said. Kuya agreed about it and he nodded at me.

“Yes. You’re really right kapatid. I’m so glad atleast now we knew it. That yaya is not our yaya. She’s our auntie. But Auntie why did you hide it.” Sabi ni Kuya Harem.

“Theres so many Vampire around us and they know that I’m a wolf but they don’t know that you are the only son of your father. So I hide it and acted as your Yaya and became your 2nd mama when your mother died. I force myself not to tell you guys it's because for your osn safety. I hope you understand it.” She said to us. I feel so touch. Because our Auntie cared about us for almost how many years.

“Thank you sister for keeping my daughter and my son safe.” Dad said and he looked to my Kuya Harem and claimed him as his son..

“Come to me son.” My dad said and then papa hugged Kuya. I hug them too.

Nag-apply ako sa office staff sa kasamaang palad. Wala pang available para sa posisyon na yon, kaya nangyare pumunta ako ng FCIE it’s a place, para mag-apply bilang PRODUCTION OPERATOR sa isang japanese company ako napunta natanggap ako. Una nagtest, paglabas ng result. Heto interview. Una chineck lahat ng Information. Background and Education status. Then working experience.

“Whole name again?” sumagot agad ako. At magalang na medyo professional.

“Ynna Alisson Peralde, pero Warren na po ako sa bago kong Certificate kasi kakapaayos ko palang po.” She said. It’s true pinaayos niya and even her ID is now Warren.

“Anong reason ng pagpasok mo sa company na to?”. Dahil ready mga sagot ko, hindi naman ako nahirapan sa pagsagot-sagot.

“Kase po personal need po at para na rin po sa kasama ko sa bahay, wala na po kasi akong ibang work, and walang pangkaen, pangbayad sa tubig at ilaw at iba pa”. tumango ang HR sa naging sagot ko. Hindi ko sure kong karapat-dapat ba ako sa trabaho na ito o hindi. Pero, kaysa naman wala mas mainam na pumasok na ako dito para naman hindi na ako nauubusan pa pera. Beside malaki naman ang income lalo pa kapag kompleto ang magiging pasok. Nakakapagod nga lang siguro. Kung ikukumpara sa ibang company.

“Okay. Magready ka ng mga requirements mo like SSS, NSO, NBI, PhilHealth, PAG-IBIG, MEDICAL. 1×1 & 2×2 parehas 2 pcs. Sa on top ka magpamedical. 1 month ang training pero may minimum na sahod 12php allowance at 45php per hrs ng OT. Pwede ka mapromote basta good performance ang record mo at dahil sa MASSCOM at Secretarial Graduate ka. Pwedeng mapunta ka sa Office Staff. Goodluck, galingan mo ang performance mo, malay mo maging Secretary ka. Sakto magreretiro na si Avila. Pag-igihan mo ang work!” She said to me then smile at me like she knew me.

“Yes Mam! Thank you po”. Iyan ang sabi ko. Sobrang saya ko. Naging easy lang talaga ang paghahanap ng job. Mabilis akong lumabas, inasikaso lahat ng kailangan.

After that, umuwe ako ng masaya. Nakasalubong ko si Lean, mukhang masaya siya.

‘By the way kaya ko nakatapos ng 2 courses kasi nung 1st year & 2nd year pinagsabay ko yung Mass Communications & Secretarial courses ko, 18 years old ako nakatapos! 14 years old naman, nung high School maaga talaga kami pinag-aaral. So yung sa work ko sa Tribunal 2 years na ako doon. Sana magtagal ako sa work ko dito.’

Teka? Bakit kaya masaya si Lean?

Su-Yhun POV.

“Su-Yhun, marry me please. I don’t wanna taste another dishes. I wanna taste you only, can you please stay with me forever?”. He asked me habang nagpapacute pa. I don’t know kung tatanggapin ko ba ito o hindi kasi nakita ko kanina super busy sa pagtatatyping sa kaniyang laptop. Even if I teased him kanina, hindi ko man lang siya naabala. That’s why I’m thinking if he deserved to be with me. Or is he deserved to have me forever. Yung katotohanan kasi na kahit baliktarin mo ang oras ng pinas at america 12hrs pa din ang palitan nito. Parang sila ni Shane bampira ito habang siya ay isang pasimpleng tao na walang ibang hiniling kung hindi ang normal na buhay.

“Su-Yhun please aaccept me. I can’t live without you. Kahit na sa pagtulog, ikaw lang laman nito. Please I don’t want to be alone forever, please marry me.” He said.

“Okay.” I said then left him.
