Chapter 34

'Are you eavesdropping?'
My brows shot up. What ?!
My now burning gaze went to him again. How dare you?
If I could just really hit him with a book now, I would have done it.
My hands trembled as I typed an answer for it.
'Why would I do that Mr? We are the first here, maybe you really intend to listen to the conversation. You're feeling too much! '
"Are you two texting?" Nica asked. Just look around at me and Zi.
"Let's get out of here, annoying!" I hurriedly snatched the belongings.
Without further explanation, I got up from my sit. Then strutted out of the library, wearing a menace and grace.
I didn"t even wait for Nica, or even pay attention as she repeatedly called.
I walked straight towards the exit gate. This in not my thing, but in order to reach Kiesha, I have to skip my ten am class. I will only complain about his rude staff. Hopefully this time, he will listen to my suggestion to find a new one.
The last time I heard from her, she can be seen at the computer shop nearby. Playing online game with some of her classmates, and Zed's friend. His criticism is even worse now that Ate Kianna is back in the Philippines.
It was only yesterday that he returned from a long seminar in Paris. It greatly supports the younger brother"s blasphemy. Sin is often sided with and covered up, so it is and the roughness of the habit intensifies. Be the ones who do unpleasant things.
To what direction shall I exactly go, anyway? There are many computer shops here, and all of them are Kiesha's favorite places to go. Nakakalito naman ...
"Geline Neilani Gavino," I heard a familiar man said in baritone.
He was sporting a playboy aura. The pair of expressive eyes are sending unidentified signals to my system. I can never determine the exact feelings he want to hurl on me. It's always like this, what is that ...
"Sir Hans!" I quickly approached him.
I first glanced at the leaning motorbike, before it smiled sweetly.
"That's a nice introduction, isn't it?" I was joking.
He smiled as well.
"I'll just come. I would have personally gone inside the campus to share the news, but it's not necessary. You are already here."
"I didn't expect this meeting," it was too windy so it was inevitable to block my loose hair on my face. It needs to be repeatedly placed behind the ear so as not to interfere with speech.
"What was your great news today by the way?"
"Turn your back first."
My brows slightly furrowed.
"Why?"
"I'll tie your hair up."
"Do you have a tie?" I tilted my head.
"Yeah ..."
"Are you tying your hair?" next my gaze went to his head. His hair wasn't that long. The leash will not be needed yet.
"It's from my-"
"Girlfriend!" I cut him off.
"Workmate," he corrects.
"You are keeping her things is that it?" my lips rose in sarcasm.
I narrowed my eyes at him, then raised an eyebrow.
"He only left once when we had a meeting. So much for that, I finally have a lead on Tobbie's location ..."
As expected, Tob never returned to school. Rox and I split up the first thing I saw the next morning when I entered. Any details about him became a very big question to me.
"Really? Where?"
"In the coffee shop," replied another voice behind me.
He gently pulled me away from sir Hans, then stood in between.
"Geline can't come with you right now."
"Why?" I asked emphatically.
"Kiesha needs your support," he handed me over his phone. Showing me my best
friend's message. Saying ate Kianna was in trouble with brother Gideon.
I looked up and wondered who Gideon he was referring to. I only know one person with the same name. That was my older brother Gid who was in another country.
By the way, this year its contract will expire. Meaning, he have to go back here to either process the renewal of his contract, or this time will try to look for a job available within the locality.
If I'm not mistaken, my older brother is here again in the Philippines. That I don't even know ?!
"Let's go," Zi first walked towards the motorbike he was using.
"What happened to sister Kianna and brother?"
"See it for yourself," he answered in monotone.
"I'm coming. You're here to come with me," Hans quickly got on his motorbike. When he handed me the helmet he was supposed to wear.
"For your safety."
"You need that more. You're the driver," I just presented it back to him.
"You're just here for me Neilani. You'll be safer here," Zi suddenly entered the conversation.
Are we okay? To my recollection, no apology has been heard from here. After all, he did very little. It was just a simple assumption made by him. Everyone does that, nothing's new. But despite it, I still couldn't help but to feel offended.
"Where are you?"
From her, my attention turned to Martha. It just came out of the exit gate, still panting.
Will he follow here as well? I think it was Zi's tail.
"There's just something important to do."
"Work?"
"Hmmm ..."
"Can I come along?"
It's a job to go to, isn't it? The stars are not allowed to come.
"I'll be with Hans," I blurted out. He didn't care what ideas he had.
I will be safer with Hans ... Period!
"You mean, you're really flirty!"
"Just flirting right away? Can't I send my regards to a ... friend?" sister Kianna's response was uncertain.
We just arrived here on a promenade near the university, and this scene immediately unfolded. I quickly took off the helmet that Hans really insisted on wearing. Then run closer to them.
I immediately spotted older brother Gideon. His forehead was furrowed, as he looked around at the two women in the middle. Obviously confused as to who to side with.
"Girls please stop. We're looking at each other oh," whispered the older brother with mixed pleading. He's holding on to his girlfriend real tight. It prevents him from attacking his sister.
"On the Red corner, ate Kia. Wearing red bodycon dress. On the blue corner, Kuya Gid's new bitch. Wearing blue crop top and jeans pants," Kiesha said. It"s just winding around the ones currently involved in the answer. Appeared referee and scorer in doing.
Crazy brother really oh. Instead of helping with the weaning, Kuya's own sister and girlfriend are encouraged to wrestle.
I angrily pulled him closer. The palm of his hand on the nape of his neck could not be restrained.
"Aray naman Gee," he snorted. Then the injured part of the body was rubbed.
"Why are they fighting?"
"My brother allegedly flirted with your older brother," he shrugged.
Why is there a joke, Ate Kia is not like that. She don't flirt, unlike her sister. As for my older brother, well he was always known to be a chick magnet. The two will never meet their feelings because first of all, they are said to be different types of someone who wants to be paired. I don't even want to talk about those ...
"Don't you ever fool me. I know what flirty people do!" my older brother's new girl is already irritated with anger.
Oh really, a new victim was found immediately after returning to the Philippines. Thankfully he became a man. If I were just like him, he definitely wouldn't be able to come home.
"You know, because you're the leader of the flirtatious ones," it's no wonder where Kiesha got the fight.
It runs in the Alfano blood.
"How dare you?"
"How dare you too ?!"
The two began to wrestle between older brother Gideon. He took part in their blows, punches and tweaks. While we do not know what to do. I was confused, unlike Kiesha who didn't even care.
I pushed Zion towards them.
"Take it away."
"Why me? There's a policeman there," he whispered.
My gaze then averted to Hans. Of course, we have a Lieutenant here. He just stared back at me, lips were on grim line and eyes only speaks of boredom. Come on, there's nothing to do.
Alas, I will be the one to stop-
"Where do you think you're going Geline?" Kiesha's sudden criticism. It quickly touched the hem of my dress. Don't let me help her sister.
"They're making a fuss oh!" I sigh here.
"Relax ... No one will be hurt by them, except brother Gideon. He was matured and muscular enough to handle his own shit. You know how reprehensible your brother is, let him have his punishment."
There are people looking at them now as well. They videotape the incident.
If it spreads on social media, two of their parents will be dead. The image must still be taken care of, especially sister Kianna because she will be the next to manage the company. Any misconduct would lead to disappointment and a decrease in presidential points. Even if AF Enterprise owns their family, most of their assets are still achieved with the help of the board. And so, they can also have a representative that could step up to the highest position. When the heir failed to comply with the requirements stipulated, the board's representative will have a huge chance to be the next CEO.
That was one of the things my aunt and uncle feared would happen. So the two daughters dream of acting accordingly. But just looked at it. Despite the kindness, reprimands were actually made.
"They are filming ..."
"Zi can handle that. Tara, let's have dirty ice cream."
Still unable to answer, he pulled me toward the man selling ice cream.
"You're so much like sister Kianna."
"He told me not to interfere ..."
"How about her image?"
"That's the whole essence of this act," she crossed her arms over her chest. "Two ice creams please."
"Act? You mean, they were only act-"
"No, that's true. Kuya Gid's woman is really jealous of ate. What I was saying was, ate intentionally pulled the trigger so she could have reason to make trouble. That's minus points on the board, less chance of winning. We know both my sister doesn't want to run the company because she likes fashion designing. "
With the desire to run away from the responsibilities that lie ahead, my older brother and his sister were even moved. I don't really have a problem with that. I totally support the idea! In fact, I like it because finally, there is an answer to my prayer that one day my sister will realize how severe the punishment will be for hurting the woman.
He can finally have a grasp of regret.
I'm a woman, so it's very disgusting to think that it doesn't even seem to consider what could happen to me. What if I end up paying his game? What if what he does happens to me? He haven't even think about it ... Tsk!
"Geh, just go," I reluctantly handed the ice cream to my older brother sorbetero.
"Go sister! You can do that, stay crazy!"
Tweak now, grounded later.
I simply turned to Zion. It blocks the body to people taking video. He purposely used his charm to get thier attention. He succeeded, especially in the hearts of the young women. Instead of focusing their respective cameras on the quarrel, they immediately switched to him.
That"s definitely something to talk about later.
Lieutenant Hans on the other hand grabbed Kia away from the couple. He effortlessly carried it like a sack to the relatively distant chair. He rigorously put ate down, and pinned her. Making sure that she'll stay on her position until the tension lightened.
"You're so shameless!"
"You're more rude! You're obviously jealous because I'm prettier. So even if you didn't do anything, you're still angry!"
Shout out to the two.
"What really happened?" my curious question.
I took my phone out of my pocket and turned on the recording button. This is for future reference ... In my case, someone will need evidence of how badly the Alfano brothers handled trouble.
"Ate called me earlier. Saying she wanted a quick meet up in this place. I replied, you know she might give you some money. But on our way to the nearest bench, we stumbled onto your brother and his bitch. Ate only said 'hi', but the woman took it differently, kaya ayan ... "she shrugged.
"Why did you have to send me here if you could have been the only one."
"For we have many witnesses ..."
"For what?" my brows shot up.
"Later at home, daddy will definitely ask what happened. He'll ask ate Kia first, and I am surely the next in line. But he won't believe us right away, unless someone else sees. And that's you and Zi ... We'll have a lot to report to my sister, she'll be scolded and if she's lucky, she'll be deprived of the right to be the next lover of the company. Problem solved, a new channel for me! "
Now I get it.
Ate Kia helped solve the company's problem. In return, the brother will be given a new branded bag. That's too much for a payment! If only they had given the money to the students in need of financial assistance. It helped, more points in the sky.
I shook my head in disappointment.
"What is it Hans, let me go! Let me give that woman a lesson," Ate whacked his hand.
"You can't make trouble here. If you don't want to face the precinct again, stop."
They will meet. And most likely, just like older brother Gideon, they are also enemies. Hans bitter expression and ate Kia's rage is enough proof to confirm my assumption.
That's why it didn't come right away when I ordered it. It was against my will.
"Are you threatening me sir? Do you think I'm scared? What a joke!"
"I just found out that the two of them met," Kiesha said suddenly.
"How?"
"He's the policeman I said brought my sister to the precinct. I thought it was part of the tire made by the gang."
I remember the day he recounted that incident. My sister went through a dangerous alley on her way home, one night, past two in the morning from the party she attended near the subdivision. Unexpectedly a mess he would encounter in the middle of the quiet walk. He did not leave immediately because he was surrounded by a fighting gang.
Good thing, she wasn't seriously hurt. Only a few scars on some parts of the body. Caused by a rock once hitting the side and repeated stumbling in fear.
Next, his eyes went to his older brother and sister.
"She was a friend. How many times do I have to tell you that?" si kuya Gid.
"Just a friend, but if you stare like there's no tomorrow. And have you seen how she stared back at you, her eyes sparks of seduction!"
It's very jealous. I can't appreciate her lame reason. Such a toxic mindset for a girlfriend. What if when they get married, then the woman has no trust? There isn't a day that he won't be so jealous? Where's the serenity in there? How can they live happily when there's always a war going on every day?
"I ship to Gid or sir Hans to ate Kia ..." Kiesha subconsciously said.
"We both know ate Kia likes hot bachelor, or an attorney. A man with good standing and who has proficiency on his career."
"'That's it ... Her standard was too much! Maybe Sir Hans or Kuya Gideon will enter her type. Look at how well-crafted their bodies are, how God favored them! The engineer or the police can be' diba? It shouldn't be the money and fame, but the contribution to the country. I hate my sister's choice really ... "
"Don't even dream of my brother being my brother -in -law."
"Why? He's kind and responsible."
"By the way, is that really what we're going to have a problem with now? Look and there's another mess," I pointed out to Zi.
This time, he was surrounded by people. His small smile was replaced by a grin. He's having trouble getting away from the people's attention, can't even pass through. Because every time he tries to leave, others will follow, or he will be blocked.
"That's another one. He's also lucky with his body and face. Why can't you like him anyway?"
"No ..."
"But you want to?"
"No."
"Why were you jealous when Martha came?" he narrowed his eyes at me.
"I am not!"
I went with Hans thinking Martha would come here. But it's not ... That's good.
"Go to Zi and claim her as your boyfriend. In case those people stop sticking together," he gestured his position.
"Why would I do that?" I gasped.
"You don't want anything, do you. It's easy to do my order early if you really don't feel anything. C'mon, this is just for fun," she giggled.
"The amount of madness you can think of. There's no way I'll do that!"
"Weak," she raised an brow.
"Are you challenging me?"
"Yes," he answered quickly.
I answered nothing back, except for a violent sigh.
"Prove your innocence-"
"Yes, this is it!" I'm cut off from what he's going to say.
When the ice cream was handed to him, he put the phone back in his pocket, and rushed to Zion.
I'm sure his older brother and I will die later. It's only now that I need to prepare myself for what he might sigh. Like mama she also didn"t support the idea of ​​my relationship while studying. I have to prioritize knowledge than love for now ...
"Excuse me," I began.
With poise and grace, I walked passed through the group of girls who keeps on shrieking over Zi.
OA is too much of these. It's just a man, there's no need to blame ....
To be continued...
