Joke Time Tanong

“Hubby, pwede ba akong makahiram ng pera?” ang malambing kong tanong sa aking asawa na ngayon ay pagkasama-sama ng tingin sa akin. Paano ba namang hindi eh feeling close ako sa kanya. “Why would I give you? Sa tingin mo ba ay dahil pumayag akong makasal sayo ay makukuha mo na, at ibibigay ko sayo ang mga kailangan mo ng ganun ganun lang?” galit na galit at parang gustong manakit na sabi ni Jared. Ewan ko ba kung bakit sinubukan ko pang lumapit sa isang ito kahit na alam ko naman sa sarili ko na hinding hindi niya ako pagbibigyan.

Pero dahil sa problema sa negosyo ay kinailangan niyang isuko at talikuran ang lahat ng kaniyang mga ari-arian, kabilang na ang lalaking pinangakuan niya ng kasal. Meanwhile, Magnus Laurent Del Rio is a quarter Italian business magnate who owns a world reknown tech company, multiple chains of hotels and restaurants, as well as numerous businesses in the industries of cosmetics, food manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, airlines, and construction. He is a business prodigy and a young STEM genius that at age 18, he already had the highest net worth ever recorded in the Philippines, making him the youngest billionaire in the country. But apart from all of those successes, he only desired that one special thing that he believed to complete his bustling life — that is, a marriage with Bria. Kaya naman, nang hindi matuloy ang kasal nila ay para siyang pinagbagsakan ng langit at lupa. Still, so many questions remain unanswered. Why did Bria not ask for help when she faced bankruptcy? Why was it so easy for her to break up with him knowing that he can willingly offer his help? Why did she choose to break his heart? Didn't she love him enough to stay?

In the midst of their confusion and angst against one another, could really a spark of lust and desire for answers bring back their love that had been cut short 10 years ago?

Pagkamatay ng nanay ni Joey ay bigla na lamang nagpakita ang tatay niyang ni sa hinagap ay hindi niya alam na buhay pa. Dinala siya nito sa magarbo nitong bahay at ganon-ganon na lamang nagbago ang buhay ni Joey. *** “Fine, I will let you stay here. But in one condition. You must prove yourself to us. You will enter the Ember University and pass their upcoming exams. If not, you must leave.” Halos lumubog si Joey sa kinatatayuan nito dahil sa bilis ng pagsasalita ng kanyang madrasta. ‘Nag-fli-fliptop ba ‘to?’ tanong niya sa isipan. Pero napakamot na lamang siya ng kanyang ulo. “Do you understand?” Nakaka-pressure pang dagdag na tanong ni Aling Mariebeth. Mas lalo lang tuloy lumalim ang gitla sa noo niya saka siya mabagal na napalunok. “Uhm, ang galing niyo naman pong mag-English. Pwede pong pa-translate?” nakangiwing saad niya rito dahilan para mamula ang mukha nito sa pinaghalong inis at galit. *** Ngunit paano nga ba niya haharapin ang pagbabagong ito ng buhay niya? Mula sa isang kahig, isang tukang paghihirap, ngayon ay anak pala siya ng isa sa pinakamayamang negosyante sa bansa. Idagdag pa ang mukhang laging galit na madrasta niya at prinsesitang hilaw na kapatid niya. Isa lang ang kailangang gawin ni Joey at iyon ang pumasa sa Ember University. At magagawa lamang niya ‘yon kung tutulungan siya ni Ivan Dela Fuente, ang lampa at nerd niyang kaklase. Pero bakit ba bigla-bigla na lang tumitibok ng malakas ang puso niya dahil sa loser na lalaking ito? ‘Bwesit! Hindi nakakaastig ‘to!’ Inis na sita ni Joey sa sarili lalo pa kung ang gusto naman ni Ivan ay ang hilaw niyang kapatid at hindi siya.

Letche naman oh! Kung hindi ko lang talaga kailangan ng perang pang piyansa kay Itay hinding hindi ako sasapi sa grupo ni Buknoy. At malay ko bang ang target namin ay isa pa lang bigatin na ubod ng gwapo, yaman, yabang, at saksakan ng pagkababaero bukod dun napaka-daldal niya at ang bastos pa ng bunganga. Walang iba kundi si Sebastian Cain Guevarra. Ang lalaking mas magulo pa sa buhok mo sa private part. Paano ba naman—"I'll give you two option, Miss. Pumili ka, kulong o magiging alipin ko?" seryoso ngunit nakangising tanong niya. Humakbang siya papalapit at inilapit ang mukha sa aking tenga saka bumulong. "Choose wisely cutie..." sabay kindat niya. ©CrystalineG
