4 hours..
Four, long hours ng nag aantay si Eddie sa dalaga.
pero haggang ngayon ni anino ng dalaga hindi nya makita.
Pauli ulit nang tinawagan ni Don Emmanuel ang apo pero ang palagi lang nitong sinasabi on the way na ito.
He knows na sinasadya ng dalaga ang pagantayin siya..
Even Don Emmanuel knew it.
Kung hindi lang dahil sa matanda kanina pa siya umalis, nunkang aantayin niya ang babae.!
but he had no choice..Don Emmanuel keep him company through out the hours that he waited for her.
Don Emmanuel is like his grandfather..
mabait, bubbly, hindi na uubusan ng kwento, mabiro kagayang kagaya nang lolo niya..
they where laughing out loud nang dumating ang dalaga.
"For God sake Sophia Elizabeth what took you so long!"
sita ng matandang lalaki sa dalaga.
"Lo you know how traffic it is in.."
sagot ng dalaga.
"Traffic?"
Don Emmanuel brows almost meets in between.
"Traffic for 3 hours?"
galit na saway ng matanda kay Sophia sa pagsisinungaling nito.
"You know that Eddie has been here waiting for you so you could spend some time together!
To know each other!" Dagdag pa nito.
"Its okay gramps Emmanuel I enjoyed your company. .Its my honour also, to know the grandfather of my soon to be wife!"
he smiled, emphasizing the word "wife" that make Sophie rolled her eyes.
Galing talaga mang uto ng hung hang na lalaking to!
sa loob loob ni Sophia.
"Oh the honour is mine hijo. .you are very understanding towards sophie.."
tuwang tuwang sabi ng Don.
"best aktor ka talagang hinayupak ka..
Anyang ng gagalaiti sa galit.
"puring puri sayo lolo ko!tingnan natin yang ugali mo kung kakayanin mo gagawin ko sayo!"
Sophie thought furiously.
"Oh its nothing gramps!"
Eddie said with a trace of disappointment in his voice.
"Im just sad na konti nalang oras namin together ni Sophia. .ofcourse magtravel pa kami for 5 hours then as you see, Sophie seems to be sleepy!"
Anito na parang nagpaparinig sa matanda.
"So for sure she will be spending her time tomorrow in her cottage and by the afternoon we travel back here.!"
nagpapa awang sabi ng binata.
"No worries hijo. .Sophie will be spending a week with you!"
sabi ng matanda na ikinabigla ni Eddie and especially Sophia.
"Really?"
Eddie said with an excitement.
"What?!!"
Sophie exclaimed in disbelief.
"Lo,pano trabaho ko. .alam mong busy ako always!"
She said begging her grandfather.
"And yet you want me to spend a week with this. .
he looked at Eddie from head to foot.
"Good for nothing, pervert here? Never!"
"Make it two weeks hijo! Sophie will spend two weeks with you!"
nakangiting sabi nang matada kay Eddie,
"but lo'?? aren't you afraid he'll hurt me there?"
Di makapaniwalang tanong ni Sophia.
"Ofcourse he won't do that right Ed?"
tanong ng lolo nya sa binata.
"Absolutely gramps. .maybe I will just hurt her a little bit gramps, probably in the process of making your great grand child.!"
He said grinning.
"Im sure you know what I mean." Eddie winked to the old man.
Don Emmanuel smiled, he seems to be amused of what eddie had said.
umabot pa hanggang taynga ang ngiti ng matanda.
"See Lo'?"
Sophie said trying to get her grandfather's side.
"He already had a plan of raping me!! you asshole! get out of our house now before I call the police!"
Mangiyak ngiyak na sigaw ni Sophia sa binata.
"Enough Sophia!"
sigaw ng matanda.
"Another words from you, you will be sorry!"
Don Emmanuel warned her.
"Tumahimik ka! If you don't want me to make it three weeks or even a month, I don't care!"
Anito na tila nauubusan na ng pasensya sa kanya.
"You'd better get yourself ready. . so you can leave! Eddie waited you for four hours, already!"
He reminded her.
"Freshen up and you guys will leave after lunch, we will going to eat, together first.!"
"Nana already prepared your things and it's already in Eddie's car."
litaniya ng lolo niya na para bang pinamimigay na siya.
"Pero lo'? how about my work?"
Hirit parin nya sa abuelo. .tanging trabaho nalang ang ma erarason niya.!
kuhang kuha na ng lalaking to ang loob ng lolo niya.
"Dont worry I will be in the office while your on your two weeks vacation.!"
Don Emman said assuring her.
"Your tita Maggie and Gawri will be there too so just relax have fun and make my great grand child as soon as possible!"
Anito na napahalakhak ng tawa.
nanlaki nalang ang mata ni Sophia sa sinabi ng lolo niya!
"Agad agad? Wow!! Na parang magic lang noh?"
She asked herself angrily pertaining to what her grandfather said. .
humanda ka Eddie you gold digger bastard!!
with in that two weeks, I will make your life a living hell so you'll say no to that damn wedding. .
that you've been dreaming of!!
