The hound! [3]

Sophia was a bit preoccupied, she could not help herself but think about the girl.

She was right after all. Julia was kidnapped when she was fourteen years old and the woman she called aunt is one of them.

"I'm their biggest disappointment, my family wanted a son to be a successor but heaven's give them a daughter!"

Julia discreetly told Sophia the story of her life while they're playing tennis.

"What's wrong with being a daughter—"

"It's a bit complicated, if my parents had a son it means they could have a direct control over him whereas to me, I need to marry someone of my choice, he'll sit in that damn position in my stead but still I'm the one in control!"

"Ah, it was an internal conflict?"

"Yeah. .so they had to avoid it by abducting me and they're forcing my father to step down as there's no other heir except me, I'm the only child!"

Napatango si Sophia, masyadong kumplikado nga ang sitwasyon ni Julia.

"I need to show up before my sixteenth birthday otherwise my father will step down, there'll be a blood war and it would be the end of my family!"

Sophia knew the feelings the two of them have the same faith the only difference is that no one blame or force her to do something she doesn't want to.

But if Julia's father was force to step down because of her disappearance, kahit hindi man direktang kasalanan ni Julia ang lahat still people will blame her. 

kagaya niya hindi rin maatim ng kanyang konsensya na madamay ang enosenting tao dahil sa kanya. If Mr. Ybanez will be force to step down marami ding mga taong madadamay. 

"What are we going to do to get passed on those stupid hounds?"

Wala sa sarili nyang tanong sa kawalan.

Kasalukuyan syang nasa loob ng kanilang classroom and it was their psychology subject.

"Why do boys stop in their track when they saw another girl passed by even if their girlfriend is with them?"

Napangiwi syang bigla ng marinig ang tanong ng kanilang psychology teacher. 

"Boys are like animals!"

Sophia absentmindedly muttered na narinig pala ng kanilang teacher.

"Pardon?"

Napanganga syang bigla, she doesn't mean to say it pero napalakas pala ang boses nya.

"Have you been in a relationship, Ms. Madrigal?"

Sophia blushed habang napapailing, napuno naman sya ng kantiyaw mula sa mga kaklase.

"Quite!" 

saway ng kanilang guro. 

"But Ms. Madrigal has a point. It's just a surprised to know that someone like her noticed it even without an experienced!"

Nakangiting sabi ng kanilang teacher. 

"By the way those who have illegal boyfriend—"

All her classmate laughed ng banggitin ng kanilang guro ang word na illegal. 

Dahil sa kanilang edad most of them are not allowed to be in a relationship pero dahil nga hindi naman 24/7 na nakabantay ang kanilang mga magulang kaya't ang iba sa kanila may mga tinatawag na "illegal-boyfriend"

"Does your boyfreind usually did something like that?"

Hati ang opinion ng kanyang mga kaklase, merong iba na nagsasabing oo meron din ibang nagsasabing hindi.

Pero tahimik lang ang isang kagaya niya na hindi man lang nakaranas magka boyfriend. 

Well, there's supposed to be one just around the corner but they ended up with out even started.

"Well, it's not entirely your man's fault because we are all animal by nature it's just that men is quite different. If you're having a date with your boyfriend but then one sexy lady just passed by don't expect him not to turn his head. It is very natural! see what if you guys were having a date then your boyfriend is busy doing something in his phone and don't even care who passed by, hindi ba kayo magtataka?"

"Well. .that's depend sir maybe he's playing—"

"If he's playing games in his phone that is fine but what if he's playing your heart? That could be quite a disaster! 

He might not be enterested on anyone around, because probably he's already had an enterest with someone else, ok lang kung ikaw yon! but what if ka chat nya sa phone yong nagbibigay sa kanya ng kakaibang excitement?

So ladies you better knew what your man is up to when you were in a date baka mamaya niyan you were just a show off!"

Nagtawanan ang lahat ng mga studyante nakisabay narin ang kanilang guro, habang nakikinig lang si Sophia. 

Hindi dahil hindi sya makarelate pero talagang hindi sya enteresado.

"On the other hand, kung ako yon? I might going to kill the cheating bastard!" 

Nakangusong sabi ni Sophia sa sarili, that's probably one of the reason kung bakit ayaw nya muna magka boyfriend ayaw nyang makapatay ng maaga. 

Natawa sya sa sariling kagagahan.

"Men hormones directly affects their brain, when they saw someone that could ignite their imagination—boom!" 

Patuloy ng kanilang guro.

"Sir why does women are different from men in handling the relationship?"

One of her classmates asked boldly. 

"Well, women are very reserved. Most men can have two or three girls at a time,  while nine out of ten women can't, Why? Ang utak ng mga babae is like an internet cable, it's always busy. women can multitask, right? But interms of handling relationship they are focus to only one, tama?"

"Tama!" 

Sigaw naman ng kaniyang mga kaklase.

"Men is very different and they all have one weakness, Magandang babae! kaya kayo dyan be pretty not just for your man but for yourself. All male animals in this worlds loves female, ke aso man yan oh tao they all have the same weakness—babae!"

Biglang napalingon si Sophia ng marinig ang sinabi ng kanyang teacher.

 She realized something.

"All male animals had the same weakness, female!"

Woah! Why I forget about it? Tanong ni Sophia sa sarili. 

Gusto niyang magtatalon sa tuwa, she just figured out how to lure those hounds out. 

Kaya't pagka uwi nya galing sa skwelahan agad niya sinabi sa abuelo na gusto nyang magkaroon ng tatlong malalaking hound.

"What did you just said?"

Nagulantang na tanong ng abuelo sa kanya.

"What are you going to do with those creature? forget it, just asked me anything except—!"

"Lo!"

"Just what you were up to sophia?"

Tila galit nitong tanong sa kanya.

"I hate dogs—besides those large thing is not easy to be tamed kung gusto mo I can buy you a poppies those cute little one!"

Muntik ng maitirik ni Sophia ang mga mata, mag ama nga talaga sila ni Rain.

Napag isip-isip nyang mahirap kumbensihin ang abuelo kaya't pahapyaw nalang niyang sasabihin ang totoo.

"We've made a mistake just buy me a hound. I'll explain to you later!"

"Who's the client?"

Tila nawawalan nang pasensyang tanong ng matandang Ybanez.

"Mr. Geovani!"

Mr. Ybanez hissed. Mr. Geovani is one of their best international clients no one mess with him.

"Those creatures are worth a fortune, makes sure to bring the package, safe and sound!"

"Aye sir!"

Walang nagawa ang kanyang abuelo kundi pagbigyan ang kanyang kahilingan.

Now everything is set, she drafted all their plans on how to make Julia out with out causing to much casualty.

Inaantay nalang nilang aalis ang may ari ng naturang bahay saka nila isasagawa ang napagplanuhan.

"It's show time!"

Excited na bulong ni Sophia sa sarili.
