"Zach's Grandmother"

Zach was sipping his whisky quitely in the far side of the bar, marami rami narin ang nainom niya, He is already tipsy.

He was sitting alone for the first time in his life simula noong nag karoon siya ng interest sa mga babae.

One of the bitch he had known from the past, kung saan at kailan di na niya maalala, just come by to flirt with him. What surprised him was he realized na bigla nalang syang nawalan ng interest sa ibang babae.

Kung sa ibang pagkakataon lang malamang he already had sex with her right here and there, he doesn't care specially when he was frustrated.

But now everything seems to be different, he feels like being numb. His taste about woman suddenly changed, pati pabango ng mga babaeng naaamoy nya'y kina iinisan niya.

He wanted to smell that familiar scent from someone, the smell of her hair the softness of her skin and worst her bad attitude gusto niya marinig ang bawat pag sigaw nito sa kanya.

"I badly missed you Sophia!" 

He murmured. 

Finally, he realized that what he felt for her was not just a mere attraction.

"Im in love to the most terrible woman, I've known!" 

Napailing niyang sabi. 

She was the kind of woman you don't want to fuck with and he was the kind of idiot who fuck up everything.

If he hadn't been a coward di sana nangyari ang lahat.

"Hey pretty boy, You're alone?"

"I guest so. .you never seen anyone beside me, do you?" 

he muttured with out hiding his  annoyance to her.

"I don't want any company so please leave me alone!"

Nang di tuminag ang babae sya na ang nagkusang lumayo, he had enough for the night so he decided to go home.

It was already one past midnight, malamang natutulog na ang lahat. No one expect him to come home so kampanti siya.

But he was so shocked, to see his grandmother waiting impatiently in the main sofa.

Na para bang inaantay talaga siya nito.

"Mommy la'. .you're still awake?!"

Anyang akmang hahalikan sana ang matanda pero nag iwas ito.

"You smell like a rotten piece of shit!" 

komento ng matanda. He was stunned, his grandmother never say anything harsh unless she was really furious.

It was probably his grandfather, who had a control over everything in their family but it's always his grandmother who had the last word.

And she is as scary as hell! Kagayang kagaya ni Sophia.

"Im sorry mommy la'!" 

 Anyang parang batang paslit.

"Goodnight!"

Anyang paalis na sana, ayaw niyang magisa early in the morning so it's better for him to get lost.

"It's good morning, perhaps!" 

she said with out an emotion.

"Now sit down!"

She said with an authority in her voice,He obeyed with out asking why.

The old lady continue.

"I will not going to asked where the hell you've been not that I don't care. .

"Mommy La'!" 

"Yes perhaps. .I don't really care!" anito na puno ng hinanakit ang boses.

"Im sorry mommy La'!"

"Sorry?!" 

she laughed sarcastically. 

"Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng taong mag sasabi ng sorry but never really sorry!" 

She said while glaring at him.

"Im too old to play stupid joke, Zachary!"

"What is this all about, mommy La'!?" 

He asked with a trace of annoyance in his voice, ngayon lang siya na sermonan nito as far as he knows. 

The worst was talagang hinintay pa siya nito dis oras ng gabe para lang ma sermonan. 

"I warned you! But you never listened to me. I told you I wont forgive you pag sinaktan mo ang apo ni Sebastian!"

She said furiously, kulang nalang batohin sya nito ng flower base.

"It's ok la, if you're not going to forgive me. .sarili ko nga di ko mapatawad, ikaw pa kaya?!"

He was supposed to say that pero hindi niya ginawa baka mahampas na talaga sya ng flowerbase nang matanda sa sobrang inis nito sa kanya. 

Instead, he remained quite. Hinayaan nalang niyang sermonan siya nito.

"I don't care!" 

anito after a long silenced.

"I don't care how you're going to court Sophia. .but I'll swear to you, You can't step back in this house. . not unless, You're going to bring her home, to us!"

"What?"

He exclaimed in shocked.

"Yes! Whatever deal you had with Sebastian you have to finished it, and as far as I know, the validity of that. .has to be end of this month!"

"Mommy, La'!" 

He appealed to his grandmother, pero binaliwala sya nito.

"I did warned you, but what you've done? Well, its time for me to settle your business in my hand!"

"I already told the guards na wag kang papasukin dito until you get yourself a wife and si Sophia lang ang matatanggap ko!" 

she said firmly, and, with finality in her voice.

"Now get out!" she said waving her hands. "help yourself out, I wont send you!"

Napailing siya habang papalabas ng mansyon. He had no choice but to get out in the middle of the night.

He suit himself in his office sa katapat ng stablishment nila Sophia.

It was not his intention pero doon siya dinala ng kanyang mga paa.
