Chapter XLVIII

"Come on, old man and tell me who it is!" salubong ang kilay na tanong nya sa matanda.

"There were actually a lot of good candidates." seryosong sagot ng matanda.

"Like who?"

"Like Tanner of Mata Industries!"

"Superman? Ha! That guy is just pure abs!" (Lamang lang ng abs sa akin yon! At kinapa nya pa ang abs nya.)

"There's Luis of Hontiveros Electronics!"

"Tarzan? Yung malaking mata na yon?" (Di hamak na mas maganda naman ang mata nya dun!)

"Also, your cousin Marcus!"

"Oh HELL no!" (Kaagaw ko na nga sya sa mana pati ba naman kay Yamyam kaagaw ko pa rin sya!)

Gigil na iniikot nya ang table napkin na para bang iniimagine na leeg ng karibal nya ang pinipilipit nya.

"Then there's also you!" mahinang sabi ng lolo nya.

Mga ilang segundo bago rumehistro sa isip nya ang sinabi ng matanda.

Nang hindi sya kumibo ay nagpatuloy ito.

"Of course, the best candidate for me is you!"

"You mean...?" hindi nya maituloy ang sasabihin nya.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA...." ang malutong na tawa ni Lolo Edison.

Nagulat pa sya dahil ngayon lang nya nakita na tumawa ng ganon ang lolo nya.

"You should see your face! Your reactions were so epic!"

May ganoong side pala ang lolo nya.

"Before you called me, he talked to me and asked if I wanted you to be one of the choices for Mary Dale's fiancé. Of course I disagreed because like I told you I wanted you to make your own decision. And he didn't tell me that you were actually there in their place."

"But..."

"But then you suddenly called me and demanded that I do everything in my power to make sure that you will be Mary Dale's fiancé! So I had to talk to Ricardo and tell him what you said."

"So what did he say?"

"That ultimately it is still Mary Dale who will choose who she will marry!"

Nakahinga naman sya ng maluwag sa sinabi ng matanda.

Ibig bang sabihin noon ay sya ang pinili ng dalaga?

Napapangiti sya sa isipin na kaya sya sinagot ng dalaga ay dahil sya ang pinili nitong maging fiancé.

Nawala tuloy ang takot nya na baka mapunta pa ito sa iba.

He can't wait for her 24th birthday so he can propose to her already!

"Happy?"

"Very!"

Matapos kumain ay pumunta na sya ng kwarto nya.

Nadatnan nyang naroon sa labas ng pinto si Markus.

Dahil masaya sya ay binati nya pa ito.

"Oh hey cousin!" at ngumiti pa sya dito.

Nagulat naman si Markus sa pagbati nya.

"Were you waiting for me?"

"You know Mary Dale Entrata right?" tanong ni Markus sa kanya.

"Ah... yes I do!"

Bakit ba bigla syang kinabahan sa pagtatanong nito?

"Did you also know that she is looking for a husband?"

"I know! Lolo told me!"

Kung nagulat ito sa pagtawag nya ng lolo sa matanda ay hindi ito nagpahalata.

"And did you also know that the reason she is looking for a husband is because she will lose the mansion and the plantation if she doesn't find a husband before her 24th birthday?" nakangising sabi nito sa kanya.

Hindi nya pinahalata na nagulat sya sa sinabi nito.

Pilit nyang pinakalma ang sarili.

"I know that too!"

Binuksan nya na ang pinto ng kwarto nya.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Wala naman na! I just thought I'd give you a heads up on who you are dealing with!"

At umalis na ito.

Pumasok si Edward ng kwarto nya at nagdesisyon na bumalik na ulit sa Hacienda Entrata.

Kailangan nyang makausap ang dalaga tungkol sa sinabi ni Markus.
