"It's 205,039,996 pesos."

"Wow. Gumastos ka ng ganong kalaki para sa kotse na 'to?"

He looked at me with brows furrowed. "Why? It's my reward for myself for passing the board exam for engineers."

Napasandal ko sa upuan ng kotse. "I mean, sana tinulong mo nalang sa nangangailangan? It's not like I don't want you to reward yourself but----"

He chuckled before maneuvering the car and I watched his hands do that. Cool.

"I sent donations every month on different charities. Don't tell it to anyone." he said in a warning tone.

Napakunot ang noo ko roon. A thought came into my mind. "Are you the one who sent Gabay Bata funds for a new building and allowance for a whole year para sa mga bata?"

"U-Uh, yes? How did you know?"

"Oh my gosh, kasali ako sa volunteers sa charity na yun. Ang dami mong natulungang bata!" natuwa ako dahil nalaman ko kung sino ang tao sa likod ng successful na charity na yun. At least, may nagawa siyang ikinatuwa ko.

"Impressed ka na nyan?" balik na asar niya.

"Yabang mo." I scoffed. Umayos ako ng upo. But seriously, hindi ka ba nasasayangan sa pera na nilulustay mo?"

He shrugged. "No. I am earning it, though. A day or two will be enough for me para maibalik lahat." he proudy said.

"Sabagay, mayaman."

"I'm not." he said as he stopped the car. He removed his seatbelt and faced me. "I'm not rich, Alair. I'm just hardworking."

"You came from a rich family, duh?" I replied as a matter of fact.

"I came but I am not going to be the heir of my parents' companies." he said.

"Huh? Eh sino?" tanong ko habang tinatanggal ko yung seat belt ko.

"My future child."

I was too stunned to speak. He smiled before leaving the car. I watched him as he walked and opened the door for me. I mean, wala naman connection saakin yung sinabi niya but it somehow touched me because at his very young age, he already has a plan for his future family.

Nakalabas na ako and nasa harap na kami ngayon ng isang malaking bahay, it's color white and may mga bakod and I think a mini garden.

Napatingin ako sa mga kotse ng mga magulang namin, kumunot ang noo ko nang hindi sila lumabas. Lumapit ako sa kotse nila mom and dad. Ibinaba naman ni mom yung bintana sa side niya.

"Mom, hindi kayo papasok sa loob?" I asked.

"No na anak. We'll just visit tomorrow. It's already 10:00 pm, we all need to rest." she answered.

Tumango ako. "Ah okay po. Text me when you arrived at home po. Goodnight mom, dad." I smiled at them. Dumaan ako sa kotse ng parents ni Blagden and did the same thing.

Blagden informed me that nauna na yung mga gamit ko dito kanina and inaayos na ng mga maids sa kwarto ko. We just waited for our parents' cars to be out of our sight.

I faced the house kung saan ako mag s-stay ng 6 months, I let out a heavy sigh.

"Just six months, Selena Alair. Six months." I cheered myself up.

Narinig ko naman yung tawa ni Blagden sa likod ko kaya napatingin ako sakaniya ng masama. "You look like you'll be living in hell for six months, ha." natatawa niyang sabi.

"Impyerno nga."

He held his chest and acted like I hurt him. "Ay, grabe siya." hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako or kung maiinis sa reaction niya.

Sumunod ako sakaniya. He opened the door and I jumped out because of shock.

"Welcome to your new house, Blagden!" sabay sabay na sigaw ng mga nandito. Three boys and one girl. What is happening?

Blagden let out a curse. "What the fuck? What are you doing here?"

"Ano pa ba, edi welcome party. Welcome ha---Wait, sino yan? Chicks mo? Unang gabi mo dito tapos may kasama ka na---?

"No, she's not. She will stay with me." rinig kong sagot ni Blagden. Nakatago ako ngayon dito sa likod niya.

The girl spoke, she's looking at me. "Who is she, Blagden?"

"None of your business, Claire."

Saglit, sumasakit batok ko dito. Di ko na kinakaya mga pangyayari ngayong araw ha.

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"No."

"Your wife?"

"Fuck, no."

"Fuck bud----"

The next thing I knew, I lost consciousness because of stress and shock. And a pair of arms caught me.

Too much happenings just for a day.
