"Love and chocolate"

Two days before the wedding ng magimbal ang M&M groups and Accuesta Empire with the terrible news.

"What do you mean, gone?"

Naguguluhang tanong ng lola ni Zach kay Don Sebastian.

"I don't know what's going on, either!"

Nanlulumong sambit ng matandang Madrigal.

"But how?" 

Zach grandparents asked in chorus.

"Where is Edd—?"

"Edd?"

 nakakunot noong tanong ni Doña Celestine.

"You mean, Zachary?"

Bago paman sila nakasagot Zach's P.A inform them that his boss is also missing.

"This is to much for coincidence. 

Maybe. .maybe they were running away—"

"Together?" 

All of them snapped in chorus bago paman makatapos ang natatarantang si Margareth.

"It doesn't make any sense, they were all grown ups for pete's sake. What is there to run—"

"Maybe. .running away from each other!"

Wala sa loob namang sabat ni Gawri. Na ikinatahimik nilang lahat.

"We found this in Sohpie's table!"

Mangiyak ngiyak na inilapag ni Margareth ang box ng bridal gown ng dalaga saka malaking gunting.

"We should not speculate things with this—" 

Ani Celestine na napapailing, ayaw niyang maniwalang basta nalang nag back out ang dalaga at naglahong parang bula ang kanilang uniqo hijo.

"That doesn't prove anything, nagkataon lang malamang"

Zach's grandmother said anguish.

"Right!—Sophia won't just back out with out reason!"

Depensa ni Don Sebastian sa apo.

"Zach won't do anything stupid, either. He knows the consequence, very well!"

"Then, they must be kidnap!"

Bulalas ni Margareth, that makes all of them gasped in shocked.

"Unfortunately, they were!"

Ani Rain na kakarating lang.

Napalingon sila bigla sa nagsalita. except kay Don Sebastian lahat sila ay napakunot noo.

"Who are you?" 

Ani Celestine na medyo nakaangil ang boses.

"I'm—"

"He is Sophia's brother!"

Don Sebastian said sourly. He knew better than anyone kung paano naging kapatid ni Sophia ang lalaki.

Sophia adopted the boy when she was just a teenager and insisted that he must become her brother no matter what.

At para hindi malito ang ibang tao the boy legal guardians was Sophia's late parents with her father surename which is Ybañez.

They all looked into each other, they all knew that Sophia is the only child at solong taga pagmana ng M&M groups.

"Bago kayo malito tungkol sa akin, I have something to tell!"

Pambabasag ni Rain sa katahimikan ng lahat.

"First of all, Mr. Accuesta is not running away and so my sister!"

"How could you be so sure?" 

Nanantiyang tanong Margareth.

Rain recalled what happened before Zach disappeared.

He saw that Zach was waiting for him in Pinn hotel, though di niya alam ang dahilan there's no reason for him to avoid.

"Excuse me!"

Nakakunot noong bungad ni Zach.

"Oh. .its you, Mr. Accuesta" 

casual na bati ni Rain sa lalaki.

"I hate beating around the bush, so I'll ask you straight"

He said sourly, Rain shrugged his shoulder.

"Go on!"

"Who are you? Why are you so close with Sophia?"

Rain gasped in shocked. 

Wooah. .that brat didn't tell him about me? Rain unbelievably asked himself.

"I saw you sa labas ng aking suit, you are so close to her that I wanted to dragged you away from her!"

Ani Zach na di itinago ang galit sa lalaki.

"Calm down Mr. Accuesta!" 

natatawang sabi ni Rain, he realized that Zach misinterpret his reaction.

"You have nothing to worry, since my sister is busy and forget to introduce 

me—"

"Sister you said?"  Zach snapped. "But Sophie is the only child!"

"Just let me introduce myself bago mo basagin ang aking pagmumukha" 

Natatawang sabi ni Rain, he is also a man kaya't Zach jealousy toward him is pretty normal. 

He's also a fine handsome man kaya't malamang karibal ang tingin ni Zach sa kanya, Aniya sa sarili.

"By the way, Im Rain Ybañez, Sophia's younger brother. Just don't ask how, she'll provide you the details!"

Zach was so shocked to know that Sophia actually had a younger brother. 

"Well!" ani zach na di malaman ang isasagot. "I'm sorry!"

"That's fine!" nakangiti niyang sagot. "Anyway I had something to give you!"

"What is it?"

Kinuha ni Rain sa kanyang bulsa ang isang imported bar ng chocolate saka ibinigay sa kanya. Napakunot noo naman si Zach.

"You'll need this for your stamina, just don't eat it before the honeymon!"

Aniyang kinindatan ang lalaki, nagtataka man ay ibinulsa ni Zach ang naturang chocolate.

The famous "Love and chocolate!"

Natatawang sabi ni Rain sa sarili habang pinagmamasdan ang nagtatakang lalaki.

He has no idea that one day, he'll be the one who give that kind of thing just to track someone, thanks to you princess! 

He muttered sourly, but on the other hand it was really useful.

"To make the story short!" 

ani Rain nang magbalik sa kasalukuyan ang kanyang diwa. 

"The one that I give to him is not just a simple chocolate, there's a tracking device on it!"

"Then we have to find them—wala akong pakialam, bali-baliktarin man nila ang buong bansa. Hindi mauubos ang aking kayamanan!"

Hystical na sigaw ni Celestine. Sobra sobra ang kanyang pag aalala para sa dalawang apo.
