Chapter 89: Welcome and farewell!
Parang gustong himatayin ni Rain sa takot ng makita ang malaking bulto ni Mr. Ybañez na nakatayo sa may di kalayuan.
Nakakunot noo ito habang palipat lipat ang tingin nito sa kanilang dalawa.
"Soph. .I mean sis, I feel like-"
"Shut up!"
She hissed habang papalapit sa abuelo.
"You never told us you're coming Lo'."
She said smiling habang hinalikan sa noo ang abuelo.
"You seem to be very busy nowadays!"
Anitong nakatuon ang tingin kay Rain habang si Rain naman di malaman kung ano ang nararamdaman, parang gusto niyang maihi o matae sa sobrang kaba.
"Who is he— You're boyfriend?"
He asked frowning, but Sophia sense the tension in his face.
"No. .he's not!"
Mabilis pa sa alas kuwatro niyang sagot.
"Then what?"
"Lo' just give me time to breath—you're angry!"
Counter attack niya rito. Bigla namang napatingin sa kanya ang abuelo.
"Give me a nice explaination Sophia so there'll be no reason for me to kill!"
Napakagat labi ang dalaga. She did not expect this to happened sooner. Sa sobrang pagka excite niya nakalimutan na niya ang tungkol kay Rain.
What I'm going to do now? she asked herself, sa totoo lang kabado din sya.
"Call my grandfather!"
Bulalas niyang bigla, na ikinamulagat ng mata ni Mr. Ybañez.
"Why. ?"
Di mapigilang bulalas nito sa pagkabigla.
"Are you getting married—to him?"
"What?"
This time siya naman ang nabigla sa sinabi nito.
"Hell no! I mean. ."
"Get that boy!"
utos ni Mr. Ybañez sa kanyang right hand. Habang papalapit palang ito kay Rain hindi na mapakali ang lalaki.
He's planning to run away or fight with him, but the one coming for him is a giant.
What I'm going to do?
In the end, he end up being froze as the man took him by his collar in one hand and lift him up.
Rob is like a giant but he's very gentle with kids. Gustong matawa ni Sophia sa hitsura ni Rain daig pa nito ang naubusan ng dugo sa sobrang putla.
"Sir I'm sorry! isa lang po akong normal na studyante, kinid—"
Di na niya natapos ang sinabi ng bigla syang akbayan ni Sophia ng mahigpit.
"What he meant Lo'—"
Anyang napabuntunghinga.
"Whatever. .Just call my maternal grandfather and I'm going to explain everything, to both of you, at once!"
She's not really a spoiled brat pero sa mga pagkakataong ganito Sophia knows hindi sya mananalo pag hindi niya gagamitin ang alas niya.
"Just what on earth is going on here?"
Mr. Ybañez asked calmly kahit pa medyo naiinis narin ito.
"Just convince Mr. Madrigal to adopt him as my brother!"
she said pouting her lips.
"Pero Ybañez yong magiging apelyido niya which makes him your legal heir!"
"Heir? What about you, I already have you, what is there—"
"Lo' lets not argue with this, they're trying to removed you because of that very reason, you have no successor!"
"Let them do what they want but they could never take me down unless I'm dead!"
Matigas nitong sabi.
"Rain will be Silvia's oppressor, mas lalong gugulo ang lahat once your sister will come in the picture!"
Napatingin bigla si Mr. Ybañez sa kanya.
"How could I forget about her?"
"We should avoid family dispute, Silvia's vying everything you have but if we put Rain as your legal heir instead of me there's a chance she'll hold back!"
"Silvia's been pain in the ass lately!"
Anang matanda na tila kumbinsido sa kanya.
"Tranfer all your asset in Rain's name—"
"What about you?"
He asked confusedly.
"Don't forget half of Madrigal and Madrigal (M&M) groups belongs to me, which is supposed to be Ybañez pero dahil hindi ko ginagamit apelyedo mo which makes me excluded to all your wealth!"
"But if you want us to adopt him, sino magiging guardian nya?"
"My parents that's why I want you to convinced Mr. Madrigal as this things need both of your approval!"
She said firmly hindi na niya binigyan ng pagkakataong makatanggi ang abuelo.
"What if he wont accept it?"
"Then I guess there's no choice left!"
Anyang nakasimangot.
"I'll marry him!"
"What?"
Rain and Mr. Ybañez asked her in chorus.
Tiningnan niya ng masama ang lalaki bago pa nito maibuka ang bibig.
"Either way will make him a member of our family and besides council members are pressuring you. We can announced that we find your long lost grandson at bahala na sila maghalungkat hangga't gusto nila!"
Nahilot bigla ni Mr. Ybañez ang kanyang sentido, di niya alam kung matatawa oh maiinis sa sitwasyon kinakaharap niya.
Dealing a problem outside their home is way more easier than dealing his own granddaughter.
Sophia always had a best laid plans and it's like walking in the trap, either way it's always a winning side for her.
"Do you consent it?"
Malumanay na tanong ni Mr. Ybañez kay Rain. Napatango naman ang binata.
It's way better to be her brother than a husband! Rain thought to himself parang mas kinilabutan pa sya ng banggitin sa sarili ang katagang "Asawa!"
Dear Lord I still want to lived long and in peace! dasal niya sa sarili.
Sa loob-loob ni Rain nag tataka sya kung ano nakita ni Sophia sa kanya at handa itong itapon ang lahat ng kayamanan nito para sa kanya.
He just realized how rich this family is.
"If that so, then let's proceed us plan!"
May pagsukong sabi ni Mr. Ybañez habang nakatingin kay Rain.
Sa kanyang point of view, Rain is not a bad catch. Para ngang nakikita niya rito ang nag iisang anak na ama ni Sophia, napakunot noo sya ng marealized that both of them has a facial similarity.
"I should check something!"
He told himself parang may pakiramdam siyang kakaiba habang pinag aaralan ang binata.
"How old are you?"
aniya ng may maalala.
"I'm 17!"
Biglang napatitig si Mr. Ybañez sa kanya.
"You're the same age with Sophia!"
Komento nito.
"By the way I heard you want to wrap up some mess!"
Ani Mr. Ybañez matapos ang mahabang katahimikan.
"Ah. .it's Mr. Lim!"
"Really?"
Impressed na tanong ng matanda sa kanya.
"His daughter happens to be in my school, ah nga pala Lo' it's about time to replace our school administrator!"
"If you say soo!"
Pagsang ayon nito sa kanya.
"By the way, are you sure you can handle this?"
"I'm not that confident!"
Pang aamin niya rito.
"Then, it's time for me to show up. We'll proceed to whatever plans you had, hindi naman basta-basta si Mr. Lim lets give him a proper farewell!"
Aalis na sana ang matanda ng may maalala ito.
"Bring him with us!"
He nods his head towards Rain.
"We're also going to give him a proper welcome!"
Dahil sa narinig Rain suddenly passed out, pinagsisihan niyang nakilala pa niya si Sophia at kung anu-anong kamalasan dinala nito sa buhay niya.
