Chapter 38: SPECIAL CHAPTER 01

Special Chapter I

Hacienda Tacata has a new day! Everyone is surprised because today is Don Vicente's birthday. The Tacata clan is complete; the relatives in Spain, Tokyo, and America came home just to join Don Vicente on his birthday. Roda is currently busy in the kitchen; the butler is at the hacienda. Theo's footsteps slowly approached the old woman without a sound.

"NANA!" he shouted. Roda let go of the spoon she was holding; she looked shocked.

"Thaddeus! "You scared me!" she said.

"Can’t you see I'm cooking?" You, kid! What if I spill oil, huh? "Do you think it doesn't hurt to be kicked?"

"Whoa! "Easy Nana, easy," Theo grinned and laughed. He immediately picked up the ladle on the floor, placed it in the sink, and took a new one.

"It seems like something is being pulled, Nana. What? It—"

"Theo!" Even before Roda could pronounce him, he called his name again silently.

"Dead! Azeria!"

"Child, what have you done to yourself?"Theo immediately ran out of the kitchen. It used the door connected to the yard.

"Nana, where is Theo?" Azeria's cheeks were red. Her bag was still hanging on her back, but Roda immediately approached her when he saw that there was dirt on her school uniform.

"What happened, and your clothes are dirty?" she said to Azeria. Azeria let out a gasp.

"Theo is experimenting with soils again, Nana!" it reported. "He set a trap in the route my horse was taking! My horse has a wound on his leg, Nana! "It's Theo's fault!" the girl did cry. That's why Theo was sweating when he heard his cousin Azeria's silence: what a fool he had been, and Don Vicente would surely scold him again because his pet horse had a wound.

"Leave it to me, and I'll scold him later." The old man consulted Azaria. "All right, go upstairs and get dressed." Your aunts and uncles are already outside; you better take another bath and smell like the sun."

"Where’s Theo, Nana?"

"He's just outside." "Go ahead, get dressed." Azeria nodded. Theo immediately got a pinch in the ear from Lucas. After all, Lucas is the oldest of the three.

"What have you done?" Azeria is doing something inside again?"

"Oh, you're mean to grandpa, and you made your favorite grandchild cry," Red commented. Theo scratched his head; he could see Red staring at him intently. The eyes were threatening; he was going to do something to his grandfather.

"I didn't think that Azeria would pass by there; I was just testing my bike to see if I could get away from the waterfall!" He got a bump from Lucas.

"You're my flying kick! You know that the horses were just injected last month. "There's another wound in the leg, Theo!" Lucas admonished his cousin. Lucas is older than their cousins. Lucas is eighteen years old; Red is seventeen years old; Theo is sixteen years old, and Azeria is fifteen years old. The three are studying in Manila, and only Azaria is left at the hacienda and is also studying in Romblon. That's why the young lady is getting pranked by her cousin.

"Yes! "I'm the wrong dad!" Theo.

"What dad?!" Lucas jokingly strangled him by the neck. Red shook his head and laughed from the side; he found them in that meeting with Azeria. Azeria frowned as she walked toward her three cousins, who were currently making fun of each other.

. "Oh, that's it. Be sorry." Red whispered to Theo. Theo scratched his head.

"Azeria!" Theo let out a wide smile when his cousin was in front.

"What?" Azeria replied gruffly to him. Theo jokingly tickled Azeria. "what!"

"Sorry! Promise!" He raised his hand at the same time that you were giving up. He gave up because if Azeria didn't let him go, he would be angry with his grandfather. "I didn't mean it! It used to be that your route wasn't there. That's why I wasn't aware that you were already riding there. Theo will explain. Azeria immediately understood Theo because the cousin was right.

That's not his route when he rides to the hacienda; it's just that he goes there. That's why he didn't think that some parts of the ground were buried because he lost control of his horse, which was also the cause of the wound on his leg. "Why did you even dig there?!" "Is that your new passion?" Azeria snorted.

"Bikes! I'm trying to ride a bike with a twist. "Do you want to learn too?"

"Hey! I don't know about you!" Azeria turned her back on them. Red immediately followed the girl. When the preparations were over, the guests arrived one by one. There are other acquaintances of Theo, Lucas, and Red who live in the other village. Azeria's classmates are also chosen; it is not unknown to others that he does not have friends who will stay by his side.

Azeria is known to be distant from others but close to the workers in their hacienda. So, the girl cannot be said to be poor.

"What, Thaddeus, are you three students here again?" Theo asked your class in elementary school. All three grew up in other countries, so it's not new to see them with alcohol in their hands. Both began drinking alcohol at the age of fifteen, but their cousin Azeria is older.

Because she is a woman, there are certain restrictions when it comes to girls. So, he only drinks regular juice. Thaddeus shook his head at the young man. "Maybe not, because the plan is that we will go to Manila to study college."

"Is that so? It's a pity. "I thought the four of you would be finished next semester; Azeria is still alone." When the young man said that, Theo couldn't help but look at Azeria. Even with his classmates, he doesn't join in with their jokes. Theo shook his head.

"She's still cold as ice." He said it dumbly in his mind. Theo said goodbye to them and said that her cousin Azeria would be visiting. "Thaddeus!" the woman called to him when he reached the table where his cousin Azeria was. The Tacata have a large yard, which is why the elders are separated from their young ones. Earlier, Azeria was socializing with the elders; Red just led her here. But he's been sitting on the chair for a few minutes, and he doesn't want to socialize with others.

"Hello, are you all right here?"

"It's okay, Theo!" "It's good that you also visited here." He could still see how Azeria looked helpless, so Theo couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, it's Grandpa's birthday, so it's really necessary to come home here."

"Is it on vacation? Are you coming here?"

"I'm not sure," he said, shrugging." maybe."

"I hope you spend your vacation here! "Let's go out to the ocean sometime!" they giggled. Azeria stood up suddenly,

"Oh, Azeria, where are you going?"

"Dad is calling me." "You can enjoy the rest of the nights with others; I'll just be there with Daddy." Azeria bids them a modest farewell. After Azeria left, Theo apologized to them.

"Oh, it's fine, Theo." We understood Azeria because they had the same behavior when we were in the same class. They also both have no mother."Theo's jaw darkened. The woman who spoke immediately elbowed one. The woman's mouth dropped when she realized what he said.

"I-I m-mean…"

"It's okay, but it doesn't mean that because she doesn't have a mom, that is the reason why she is acting that way." But well, it's good that you guys still understand her. If you'll excuse me, I'll go ahead." "S-Alright..." Theo shook his head as he walked. Now he understands why Azeria doesn't want to be friends with others. When he and Red looked at each other, Theo signaled that they were on the other side. Adults dance. They immediately found Azeria, his father's brother. Azeria grew up without a mother, so she's a daddy's girl. Their uncle Cessair whispered some things to Azeria when she met Theo's gaze. He can still see Azeria shaking. She doesn't want to socialize. After a few seconds, they saw Lucas walk towards it and finally agreed to join. They immediately went inside.

"Hey, finally. "To my ears, it's a peaceful place,"Red said as he lay down on the couch. Theo immediately set up the video games for the four of them.

"Wait, I'll just get something to eat," Lucas said and ran to the kitchen.

"There! There! It's coming!"

"Don't be naughty, Aze! There you are on the other side!

"Theo is a whore!" "Why do you always kill me, idiot?"

"E" because your character looks like an enemy! "I'm aware of that!"

"Dang! This girl is feisty! "Azeria is easy."

"Yes!" "

Theo is the bet!

"You brought me together!"Nothing! "You united me; tha t's just a tie!"

"There is no tie here! "Come on, truths or dares?"

"Easy! Well... truths! "Hope to dare; what else do you ask me to do?"

"I'll go first!" now Azeria is energetic.

"Oh, Aze, first and foremost."What will Aze ask me?" He got a kick and a bump from the three when he talked baby.

"Did you fall in love?" Azeria asked Theo. Lucas and Red whistled at the same time.

"Pass!"

"No pass!"

"Azeria, your questions are funny."

"Answer then!"

"Of course…no! "Love is not real!"

"What? Really?" Red laughed jokingly. He punched Theo in the leg. "It's like you, who's already in love!"

"Of course, who can't fall in love?"

" Red? "Spill the tea!" Azeria carefully approached Red. Red scratched his head, and his cheeks were red. The three grinned. "Red is reserved... but in love."Azeria's temptation to the cousin The two laughed.

"Go ahead!" It pricked the cousin on the side."Even just a name!" Say it!"

"It's Tamara, okay." Tamara." Red was forced to answer the pushy female cousin.

"Damn!" The two promised at the same time. Tamara is the school president at their university in Manila, which is why it is inevitable that the two will not be cheap. because they were surprised that Red probably had a crush on the girl. Lucas clutched his stomach and couldn't stop laughing.

"You're all mean to him, crayon; you have a crush!" Red frowned. While Azeria's eyes were shining, she was amazed that her cousin must have had a crush.

"That's why bro!" That's why you just hang out in the SC building; it's like a person!"

"Nice tactic."

"Stop it!"

"It's okay on occasion, of course."

"I said stop it; come on!"

"You're so cute, Red!"

" Aze. You also?" Red facepalmed. When they forgot about the truth or, dare they say, the game they were playing, they remained in that conversation until their grandfather's birthday was over. The three of them were splashing water on their faces early the next day when Theo woke up. He also drank a few bottles of wine last night, so he was already awake at noon.

"Good morning!" Azeria greeted him with a clear face. That's why he was also infected by his cousin's smile.

"Good morning, sunshine! "Where are the peeps?"

"Oh, they go to the fishing pond! He's going to catch fish!

"Have they been there before?" He drank from the cold bottle of Yakult he was holding.

"Yes! "They were here this morning!" Theo nodded and waved, then turned his back on the three to go to the kitchen and eat his breakfast and lunch.

"Oh, doesn't your head hurt?" Roda asked Theo.

"No, Nana, I'm fine." Theo shook his head at the old woman. Roda, however, continued to sit beside him."As for Nana, I'm not a child anymore." Theo immediately hit his head when Roda hit him. "What is not a child?!" "You're a minor, so you're probably still young."

"Red is also minor, Nana." "Is he also young?"

"Yes! You are all young! Tsk! You were still drinking last night, especially Thaddeus! "You were very drunk last night; do you still remember what you did?" When Roda said that, Theo immediately turned pale. Red entered and grinned when he saw Theo's face.

"I'll be the one to tell the story, man, when nothing else comes to your mind." Red tempts Theo. Theo yanked on his chair and immediately yanked on Red's clothes.

"W-What did I do last night?" Theo asked Red, who was stammering. Roda shook her head.

"You broke Don Vicente's expensive vase." An old man's story

"Your vase that Lola bought herself." Red is second. Theo fell in his chair when he heard it.

"D-Did I-I?" Teach it to yourself. making sure he broke his grandfather's favorite vase. Red nodded, and Theo stood up in his seat in a daze.

"I'm going back to Manila first!" He said he was afraid. It would have been ready to run and would indeed have been the first in Manila. just so that his grandfather wouldn't find him.

"Thaddeus! Say cheese!" Theo turned to Azeria. It's too late to avoid the camera.

"It's a prank!" "Happy birthday, Thaddeus!" Roda laughing too. Theo sat down on the floor in despair, by the way. He should get used to it because he always trips first thing in the morning on his birthday.

"I really won't be fooled next time!"

"That's what you said before, but still nothing! "You were still pranked!"Azeria said, laughing, as she continued to take pictures of his cousin.

Theo is still sitting on the floor in fear and shock.

"Oh, he's all right!" Eat there, Theo! "Azeria, help me and have—" Theo shook his head and returned to his seat to continue his interrupted breakfast and lunch. Red was still laughing, so he lightly punched him in the arm.

"Don't be red! "You're ruining my day."

"Pretend to be rude!

" "Stupid! Go ahead!" Theo coughed as the crazy Red hit him on the back. even seen eating.

"Damn it!"

"God bless!" Theo is busy opening presents. The gift was not his; the gifts were Don Vicente's. It's routine for Theo to be the one to open Don's gifts because the next day is also his birthday. Opening presents, and when someone likes it, it's taken and his. It's fine with the old man because he doesn't want any more material things. The gifts he gets, which he later gives to his children or grandchildren, sometimes go to the hacienda workers.

"He has a lot, Theo!" Azeria growled when she saw that her cousin had opened many gifts and had already typed a lot.

"Oh, Aze. Here are the women! "It's like it was meant for you!" Azeria frowned.

"Really? Look." Azeria immediately approached Theo. Sitting next to it, the two were on the floor while Lucas and Red were sitting on the couch and watching them.

"Yes, that's right. Some are purely female but are named after their grandfather. Weird."

"Isn't there something like that too, Aze?" Do you remember? "It was like a single wrap," Theo commented on the gifts he had kept that he knew were for women and Azeria.

"I don't remember." "But isn't it a little strange, Lucas?"Azeria said. Lucas just glanced at him.

"Maybe it belongs to you; after all, they know that you are grandpa's favorite grandson." The three grinned, and Azeria immediately frowned.

"What's with the favorite?" I'm not the favorite; Theo is! Look! "He is unwrapping the gifts!" Azeria pointed to his cousin.

"Yes," said Red. "Then Thaddeus is the favorite grandson."

"Oh, what are you arguing about again?" Roda interjected as she passed through the living room. "Don't worry about the four of you; your grandfather doesn't have a favorite." This is a serious language that silences the four. But Theo was the first to break.

"Your jokes hurt, Nana."

"Maybe Nana's right. "Grandpa doesn't have a favorite grandchild." This time Azeria grinned. "Because Papa is still his favorite." The three of them laughed.

"Is that jealousy?" Theo's temptation.

"Is that what you mean, Nana?" Now Azeria's voice is sad. Roda scratched her head. "I mean, the Don has no favorites because no one leads and no one lags behind him." "You are all equal to him." Theo jokingly applauded her. "Well done! "Well done, Nana!"

"Crazy!" Roda responded to Theo’s playfulness. Of the four, Theo is the goofy one. If Lucas, who is older than them, is serious, Red has a mixed personality like Lucas and Theo. Theo himself is a combination of the three: sometimes serious, sometimes goofy, and sometimes incomprehensible no matter what you do.

Mood swings are even worse when stomped on. But when it's definitely about something durable, Surely Theo would be the first to be hurt. It is said that happy people have complex pains themselves. That's why her parents are not that strict. All four of them, who are of the Tacata race, are being exploited by the majority. That's not just a guess—it's been proven.

"Oh, Thaddeus! "How was the three-day provincial vacation?" asked Theo's male classmates as soon as he entered the classroom. Theo interacted and talked with his classmates or friends before sitting in his seat.

"Hey Theo," said Leroy, who was behind him. Theo immediately turned on him, still scratching his head. "I'm sorry, I forgot to greet you."

"Stupid! "That's not what I'm going to say."

"Isn't it what?"

"When you see Tamara, avoid." Theo was surprised by what Leroy said to him; he was referring to Tamara, who had a crush on his cousin.

"Why? "I'm not behind!" he insisted. He is right; as far as he remembers, he is not in arrears with the girl.

"Because your love letters are scattered in the locker room." "Cleaned by SCs, do you know who has more messy locker rooms because of the letter P?" Theo grinned.

"Is that still being asked?" "Of course I am!" Theo boasted.

"Crazy! What are you? Your cousin Red has many. That's why Tammy has high blood pressure. Leroy grinned at him. Theo laughed and immediately took out his cell phone. He immediately composed a message for Red. "I heard you and Tamara are supposed to be in WWII."

After Theo pressed the send message button, their morning teacher entered. He even felt the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket, but he didn't look at it because the discussion had already started. So Theo will check his messages around the recess. one from Azeria, and one from Red. Of course, he preferred the far one; Azeria's was the first he read.

"Theo, borrow your room." I have a classmate who will stay overnight later. "Thank you for the loan."

"All right, Aze." "All right," he replied to his cousin. He then took the field against the Reds.

"What do I need to do so that Tamara's anger subsides, Theo?"

"Pftt—"

"Oh? Let's laugh, Thaddeus! "What is that?" Leroy snorted. He even tried to peek at her cell phone, but she immediately pushed his face away.

"Don't gossip!"

"Do you have a love life, Pre?"

"Yes," Theo said, nodding."So don't mess up." "I don't even know how to calm his anger."

"Oh! "Don't worry about it; it's easy to solve your problem."

"Is that still the trend?"

"Which?"

"The harem?"

"Not anymore, but you're the one who will do it; don't ask me to do it again, won't you?" Leroy winked at him jokingly. They immediately fist-bumped when Theo nodded. "Can! Can! You're really good, Leroy. Bad advice." "It's nothing!" Leroy said, shaking his head. The two burst out laughing at the end.

"Serenade her; for sure her anger will subside," Theo replied to Red's message. He immediately composed another message, but this time the message was for Lucas. "I'm in with the part-time job, Luc." a few seconds.

"You sure? "Have you said goodbye to Aunty yet?"

"No longer. She won't stop me either."

"Okay. I'll tell Pats about it."

"Okay. Matsala."

"Matsala?"

"You are too old, papa Luc." "Matsala, as in sala plus mat, equals thank you from the Philippines."

"Corny."

"That's not a pickup line."

"Tsk!"

"Hshshshsh!"

"I wish you would be disappointed."

"Back to you before!"

WHEN Saturday came. Theo has already started his part-time job as a barista in a coffee shop. Lucas' friend Pats is the owner of the coffee shop he went to.

"One Americano, please," he heard a modest voice say. Before Theo could catch a glimpse of the owner of the voice, she turned away. "Lucy, it's not like that. "Don't we need him in the group?" The girl called Lucy shrugged her shoulders.

"If she doesn't want to participate, it's her choice and not my loss." She is not a gate officer; he will be treated like a VIP. Not attending the meeting once is enough, but twice is not in my vocabulary. Automatically, she was removed from our group. "She was busy with other things; she just hung out there." Theo grinned at what he heard.

The words uttered by the girl named Lucy are highlighted.

He immediately looked at the cups that were currently being written with his colleague's name. Lucia. He read when his colleague called his name. Theo was right; he heard that Lucy took the coffee order. Lucy? Lucy, for short?"Nice nickname," Theo thought, complimenting himself. The girl looked at him, but Theo himself looked away. Sometimes people like her are beautiful, but when you catch a glimpse of her, you can tell she's crazy. So, he immediately looked away; it was difficult.

Perhaps because she has a sweetheart, the young lady has a lovely face, and she must have a handsome boyfriend. He can even fight in no time. "What, Theo, shall we do after this?" asked his colleague Jared. Theo shook his head and immediately refused because he also had an appointment tonight.

"I passed, bro."

"Next time, just come along!" "A welcome party for you too."

"Yes! Just next time. I have a walk right now." But the truth is, it has a basketball game. Theo's work hours at the coffee shop are until five in the afternoon, so he still has an hour to rest.

because their game is at seven o'clock. He jumped in shock when he entered his unit, and there the two were sitting. "Damn it, of course! "Warn me so I don't get surprised!" he said to the two.

Red laughed, and Lucas shook his head. "Be surprised, you big people," Red said. He was currently taking off his shoes while the two were sitting in front of the couch. The television was on, and Theo closed his eyes tightly when he saw the chips scattered on the floor.

"Clean it up! "That should be clean when I get out!" he exclaimed as he walked into his bathroom to take a shower. He had only been in the shower for a few minutes when the roar hit him. "What?" he shouted back.

"Hurry up! We'll be waiting in the basement!"

"I've only just started."

"How long have you been there, you just started?"

"Go first! I'm next!"

"All right! It's up to you! Don't be late; we'll make you the referee!

"Yes!" His hair was lightly wiped when he came out of the bathroom. Only a towel was covering his lower body. hearing the camera click.

"Hey! "Delete that red!" As Red ran out of his room, Theo yelled."Dang with a tattoo! I'll send it to Uncle tomorrow!" Red chased Theo before he heard his door slam. His crazy cousins left him when he reached the basement. Using his black BMW car, he immediately drove it and went to their favorite court. Former teammates are once again playing with their cousins, as is customary.

"Thaddeus!" they greeted him when they saw him. He nodded and joined them. He noticed this time that someone was watching them, which surprised him immediately. They are often the only people in the court. So, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Why is Brent like League?" he asked his colleague. He immediately tapped him on the shoulder.

"Because the others are from other schools," he said, approaching slightly and whispering.

"There's their ace." Theo grinned. "Ace? "Who is there?"

"That's it," Brent snorted. But instead of what he was saying, the star of the nearby school got his attention. He stared at the baby next to him. It was none other than the customer at the coffee shop earlier, Lucia. It was never expected that their paths would cross again. Theo shook his head and immediately approached his colleagues.

If so, her boyfriend is also a basketball player. It was only now that he saw their faces because it was only now that there were others in the area.

"Is Bryan your twin, Brent?" Theo asked Brent.

"No, you didn't come. "I have a date; I'm alone."

"Look for a girlfriend, so it's not just your twin who flexes." Theo jokes, and his colleagues laughed when they heard what he said. "Anytime, Thaddeus, when there's a storm, you're the last one on the news!" they joke with him.

"What again?!"

"Well, Brent doesn't have a girlfriend."

"Yes! I know!"

"Because there is a fiancé!"

"What? "Isn't it?!" he said, surprised. His colleagues shook their heads. Theo blinked.

"Hey, Brent! Isn't it? Really?" When Brent scratched his head, Theo's jaw dropped completely.

"I thought Bryan already told you," Brent laughed, but Theo stepped on his leg. Damn my grandfather, Thaddeus! It's like, "That's it."

"What is that?! "Maybe you won't give me his wedding invitation if you ever get married!"

"Oh, your mind has gone too far." "You see, it's just an arrangement; you know the marriage won't go ahead either." In the circle with Theo, harmony is not new. He even knew someone when the two were babies; they had already agreed. If there's one thing Theo is thankful for, it's that reconciliation isn't the trend in their clan. It was fate that made the difference between his parents, as well as his aunts and uncles. But if the wind shifts and his parents or grandfather suddenly reconcile with him, He will surely refuse. He understands that people who are reconciled are simply lucky and that they will fall forever.

"Now, Brent, my advice is to back out of the marriage yourself." Once you are tied to him and you truly love others, you will not sin. "You seem to have become a fool." Brent hit him.

"I am trembling with your timeless advice, Grandpa."

"Stupid! "It's an expert, so listen carefully, grandpa!"

"Hey! That's right! "Let's get started, you guys!" Theo is used to shouting his name when it comes to things like this. "Go, Imran!"

But he doesn't know, and his ears are used to his gentle voice. So, every time he hears her voice, he feels like a fool who gets tripped up. "You, okay? "Your game is different now, Thaddeus, ah," Red said to his cousin with a smile. Theo tormented him while he knocked down the energy drinks he was carrying.

"I'm just warming up, stupid." Theo joked, but his raised eyebrows said otherwise. Red looked behind him when Lucas tapped him on the shoulder.

"The face looks familiar to me," Lucas whispered to his cousin. Theo glanced at the two.

"Who?" Red said strangely.

"Your new jump."

"Is that you with blue hair?"

"What is that?" "You're not including me in the conversation!" Theo called attention to them. Lucas shook his head and laughed, but his gaze was firmly on Lucia's side. The game ended with Theo winning; he is quiet sometimes, and the gang is used to his behavior. But his silence now is strange; yes, he knows that it is new to him to feel this kind of annoyance. He was even more annoyed when they suddenly left in the middle of the game. Lucia followed the man, not knowing if the two would-be lovers were together. Maybe. They went to the fireplace for dinner. Because they won Theo, their friends will pay for their order.

"Where are those from, Ford?" Theo heard his cousin Lucas ask Ford.

"There they are in Navotas." Lucas nodded.

"Are those from the province?" This time it was Red who asked the teenager.

"If I'm not mistaken, Romblon."Hearing about the place, Theo immediately adjusted his seat and stared in surprise at the two male cousins. Why are these just questions? Do they know those? Theo couldn't help but ask himself. It was surprising to hear and see how curious the other two were. This is not how they treat each other, even if they have just met or seen something new with their colleague. The next thing they talked about was the game. They also talk about the upcoming intramurals at their school. This is not how they treat each other, even if they have just met or seen something new with their colleague.

"Maybe I'll try archery again."

"Yes, it's also beautiful, "I heard that you can compete with an ace in archery too."

"As usual, I'm in soccer."

"Of course, bro, you're the captain."

"You Theo?" "I'm in a dance group," they blurted out at the same time. "what! True! You fools, my name didn't go there. "It's a bad trip." They all laughed at what he said. Even Red and Lucas That's why the two ask Theo where he will be this year. It is steady, and the question cannot be answered. They now understand why Tamara will undoubtedly do it again to have her name added to the dance group. When he went home, Red went with Theo. While Lucas was alone in his car, John was on a different road while the two were going in the same direction.

"You can tell me your ultimate crush without joining me in the dance group out of nowhere." "You should be the one to get involved in his quarrels; I'm always the one involved."

"Let it go; you are the one who always makes trouble." That's why Tammy only gets back at you sometimes.

"Oh, he's even a student councilor if he gets bored easily." Is it my fault that there are always letters scattered in my locker room? Did he think, "I wanted my clothes to be too much?"

"Ass! Just drive there, Thaddeus! "Your breath terrifies me!" Theo immediately raised his arm. Red began to feel nauseous as he pressed his muscles against his cousin's eyes.

"When envy closes."

"So arrogant!" Theo immediately lowered the window of his car as Red closed the door of his car.

"Yes, it's red!" "You haven't received a thank you yet, fool!"Red just waved as he turned his back and continued walking.

"You can see that red; my baby is closing down." "It will be revenge next time." It can be noticed that, apart from the three, Theo is the only one who has more character. Theo shook his head when he received a message from Azeria, a picture of his room. It's fine with Theo to use his room at the hacienda, as long as nothing is lost. After he brewed the coffee, Azeria's status was still active, so Theo called the female cousin. When the camera was focused on Azeria, it noticed that she was wearing her pajamas. is. Azeria yawned on the other line.

"We have many more reports to do. I've gone to bed, but I can't sleep yet." She saw the door open. It's chaotic on the other line because Azeria is currently walking. Theo lay down but still held his phone.

"When is the deadline for your reports?"

"At two o'clock."

"Do you want me to help you?" This time the camera was focused on Azeria's face again. He noticed that she was in the kitchen, and the camera barely caught his Nana Roda.

"Not any longer," he said, shaking his head."I know you also have a lot of paperwork."

"It's a lot." Theo grinned.

"See? "We can do it; that's why group reports are important."

"Hmm," answered Theo. He was now the one who yawned.

"When will you be here in Manila again?" he asked.

"When the anniversary of Mama's death arrives. Azeria answered him. Theo snorted at this answer.

Even though Azeri appears to be used to the fact that his mother is no longer present, they are aware that Azeria is still looking for a partner for a mother. That's why, whenever Theo and his family visit the hacienda, his aunts and mother are always with his cousin. Because she's a girl and they're all boys. Her mother and her aunts understand Azeria better as a woman. So there is a chance at the hacienda that they are not really with the girl.

Maybe that's why Azeria was boyish when he was young because, apart from the three of them, he didn't have any other friends or playmates. So now that Azeria is a teenager, They only get together a few times, so they are all very strict with their cousins when it comes to boys.

Theo has heard that he has several suitors, some of whom he has threatened. But others are strong-willed and disobey their pleas, but they get a thorn when they find out. In the end, Azaria also rejected them. Azeria is tall, but with the height of the three of them, it is still noticeable that Azeria is the youngest among them. Even if the three of them insist, the cousin is already in Manila. He didn't like it either, because he couldn't leave their uncle behind.

"That's when I go to work." This is always his answer when asked if he also plans to accompany the four of them to Manila. "All right, Theo. "Go to sleep. Tomorrow again." Theo said goodbye to Azeria. But after that night, Azeria wasn't the only one who answered Theo's calls. Red and Lucas also called her.
