20:
“I GUESS you’re all too stupid to think that it won’t happen!” Blue’s angry voice echoed inside his office.
He was still there when he received the news that someone had abducted Page. So if he was screaming now that almost every nerve in his neck was visible, everyone there wouldn’t care. The one who scolds him will definitely be harmed. He’s the CEO of the company anyway, just try, they will be thrown out of his company immediately.
“Uhm, I’ll go out first, Sir, I’ll give you an update when I receive any messages regarding this matter, excuse me.” His secretary Martina, ran away after saying that. He just let her go.
He angrily punched his office table made of first class wood.
“Calm down, Blue, the cops are doing their job,” Grey said.
“Calm down? You want me to calm down? Hah! Seriously?” He answered sarcastically.
He was just foolishly mocked by his cousin Grey, “You can calm down, what are you, when you were looking for Page with Yanie, you weren’t that upset,” he added.
Without any word, he approached Grey quickly. He also quickly wrung his neck and punched him in the jaw because he was so annoyed with him right now. Grey landed on the floor tiles. Haya immediately attended to their cousin afterwards.
“Hey!”
“You know why, Grey? It’s because you weren’t in front of me then.” He pointed his forefinger at Grey’s face. “Now that you’re here, I’ll be able to break your fvcking mocking face!”
“Hey, hey, Blue,” Red yelled at him.
Grey smirked at him while wiping his lips, to his annoyance.
Haya let out a sharp scream when he grabbed Grey by his collar again and lifted him up and leaned him against the wall. His cousin’s face gets the shit out of him. Now that he can skip this shrill scream, he can just hurt Grey.
“Stop, oh, please! Aren’t you done with your jealousies?!” Haya kept talking to them. She’s not yet satisfied, their arms were beaten by her, Haya’s long nails scratched his arms, so he could let go of Grey.
If the situation had been different they would have laughed. Because if the situation had been different, Grey himself would have been the first to laugh when he tasted Haya’s blow.
“Stop it! You two are fools! This fight does nothing good with our problem,” Red gently rebuked him.
He just let go of Grey, when Red grabbed him by the arm and lowered it.
“A jealous CEO, hah, as if it’ll make you richer,” Grey muttered as he adjusted his crumpled polo shirt.
“Enough!” Haya’s prompt rebuke, she thought it was older than them in that way.
Blue scoffed. Maybe he’s still jealous of Grey to this day. Even though he knew he shouldn’t. Maybe, too, the jealousy he feels will only disappear when he see Grey had a serious relationship with another.
Euna, Red’s fiancé, rushed to the door of his office, “The police have already received the report on Page’s whereabouts. We calmed down because they made sure that they would be on the spot first, they also made sure that Page was safe.”
“Thank God!” Haya exclaimed.
It looks like the three men are one man in action. They all stood at once, took off their coats, placed them on their elbows, then removed their neck ties. That was the signal of their departure from their office for their employees.
He was just about to throw away his neck tie when he remembered Page was annoyed every time he did that…
Page, just wait, Love …
“Get married,” he whispered to Grey, out of the blue.
“What?”
“Get married so I won’t be jealous of you.”
“You two have stopped,” Red reminded immediately.
They are currently walking to the private elevator that will drop them off at the Henson Corp parking lot.
“I don’t want to get married anymore.”
“Then, I’ll persuade Grandpops to marry you.”
“Hey, not because you’re my CEO and you have a high position here, you can demand whatever your brain tells you to,” Grey’s face wrinkled in response to him.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“We’ll see,” he said softly. It was so soft that he knew only the two of them would hear it.
“T-TAGAYTAY? Wait, this is going to Grandpops’ resto,” Blue whispered to his cousins when he noticed that the road they were turning was familiar to him.
Grey shrugged. “Yeah, on its way,” he replied.
When he glanced at Grey, he saw that his lips had exploded from the punches that he had been handed to him. He snatched the handkerchief in his pocket, since Page, who took care of what he was going to wear, that handkerchief had not disappeared his pants.. There was no word that he reached the handkerchief at Grey. He glanced at it before he understood and no words were taken it from him.
They are like that whenever there is an argument between them. He has always been superior. They grew up considering him their older brother. But he knew, the fact that they had created such a wordless greeting after the argument was already a sign of patience and apology to each other.
The heat of his head was really hard to control when it started. Yes, he would admit that he was jealous of it, so when he smiled at him foolishly, he exploded.
“You brought me here when you kidnapped me, didn’t you?” Euna also asked curiously.
“Yes, here it is, Babe,” Red replied to the fiancé. Then they turned to their driver, Dante. “Are we sure of the location, Dan?” ensuring it.
“Yes, Sir Red, I’m sure of the location given by the police,” replied the driver.
“Why are we here?” Haya asked innocently.
“How’s Sky? Is he awake yet?”
“Yup, Mom just texted, Sky’s seems disturbing today. Maybe he misses his mom,” Haya said.
He sighed. He didn’t want to be nervous but he didn’t think he could avoid it. Another thing he worries about is his son, who, if he cries at those times, will probably feel what his mother is going through.
“Just chill,” Grey tapped his shoulder. “The police said Page was fine.” His phone rang so he didn’t answer, that’s where his attention went. “Oh! Yanie just texted!”
“What?” Blue and Red said at the same time.
“They’re fine. Are they? Are they together?”
“No, I left Page at home earlier. I told her not to leave the house. Apart from being dangerous for her lately, she is always dizzy, particularly in the mornings,” he said. “Unless, of course, Yanie went to our house”
Each of them just looked at each other.
“That’s exactly what’s going on here…”
“Yup, Yanie came to your house!”
He sighed. “Please just hurry up, Dan.”
“Copy, Sir Blue.”
AN uphill road or small mountain, they will pass before they reach the resto of their grandfather who is already right there at the location where their driver Dan dropped them off.
They just received another text from Yanie, she said they were really okay, their grandfather was feeding them. She also said that they were actually abducted earlier by Hanz Marciano, it is not clear to them where the governor attended and how the police rescued them because it was just a text, the woman did not want to answer their calls.
Since it was getting dark, it was difficult to walk there. Just as their grandfather’s resto was placed there for tourists in the area. They can go to the other side, because that’s the real way to the restaurant, in case they can definitely get people’s attention. Especially since they are all still in a hurry. He also ordered the driver to take them down there, according to Yanie, they were there near the twin lake. Because that road hit the view of the twin lake.
“Tsss, it’s weird here now,” Grey complained.
That’s true. The darkness in that place was astonishing. In fact, they turned on the flashlights of their cellphones while walking on the damp road due to the fog of the area.
“Get me a report about this, Grey, just bring it to my office anytime,” he ordered.
As he expected, Haya had been laid to rest by him. “You’re awful! After you punched that person, you’ll be ordered to pick up the report here at the Tagaytay branch resto, that’s nuts. You really should take a vacation first, Blue, you and Page, after this.”
“I’m not asking for your opinion, H,” he said flatly.
Grey laughed. “Maybe you’ll step on it.”
Red chuckled. “That won’t happen. He can’t retaliate against H.”
“How can you retaliate against the woman who will kill you just by screaming?” he rewarded.
Haya whispered to him. “Hmp! You can say that you can’t hurt me even if I’m ahead of you. You, you, and you.” Haya pointed out the three of them.
They just laughed. The three cousins did not really criticize their only female cousin, Haya. Grey joked, ‘when they pick her to tease, it was as if they were going to eat a meal without rice for the rest of their lives because Haya was too strong on their grandfather.
“W -Wait, what’s that …?” Euna said in the middle of their cousin’s teasing at each other.
He was shocked. As far as he could remember, that was the color of Page’s dress. Lately, it’s because she’s fond of household clothes, she’s wearing dresses that can be worn for the house only, their neighbor allegedly offered it too. Because they agreed again that she was no longer in a scrub suit in his house, of course.
“P-Page …” He ran before his knees weakened and he couldn’t move where he was standing.
Why is Page’s dress here, from a distance it’s like you’re crouched down without knowing. He is confused …
“Page!” Because it was so dark and he was already nervous, he didn’t immediately notice that it was a standee with a cloth that was the same color as the one he remembered Page was wearing when he left home earlier.
He hit the standee first before he kicked it. It’s Haya’s standee, maybe the staff there has thrown away that standee or piled it up first because it will be replaced with a new one. The latter is the model of foods in their business.
“Hey, this is your standee,” he heard Grey say to Haya.
These are over. They glanced at the mound they saw.
“Pageee!” he shouted in disbelief.
The restaurant is a bit far from there but the person calling to greet him can be heard instead of killing himself in fear.
“Pageee! Let’s go home!” he continued to shout as he walked.
Because he was focused on shouting, he was startled when suddenly there was an explosion.
Euna and Haya were also stunned. After the explosion that they heard, a light came around … it was fireworks…
Fireworks that splashed light and various ambient lights…
Fireworks followed by another, and another, and another …
“Pageee!” he shouted again. He can’t have fun with those fireworks, he’s not a child anymore.
Maybe it’s one of their branch manager’s programs there.
“Hmp! The noise of fireworks was enjoyable but you’re still screaming.”
He was stunned. He knew who’s talking- he smiled broadly when he recognized whose voice it was. He immediately turned his back on her. “Page!”
Page knew very well that he would carry her, so she jumped on him and automatically wrapped her thighs around his waist.
He also knew that he was going to kiss her so she parted her lips that he grabbed in no time.
Amidst the colorful and noisy fireworks, even without an occasion, they hugged and kissed. If they hadn’t both been out of breath they wouldn’t have stopped each other.
“I don’t understand … but it doesn’t matter anymore,” he said after their passionate kiss.
He couldn’t understand, why was there a flower stuck to Page’s ear and why she seemed to be dressed now if she had been abducted?
Page giggled. “Yanie took me from home earlier, she was with Hanz.”
His jaws automatically tightened at the name he heard. “What did he do to you?”
“No, nothing. In fact, he said sorry to me. He said he couldn’t operate properly because of Grandpops.”
“Huh? Grandpops?”
Page nodded. “Yes, Grandpops blocked Hanz’s business operations, he threatened that if Hanz didn’t stop, the governor would starve to death.”
He laughed. “That old man is really a bully!”
Page laughed too. “He said, he’s just recovering from what he did to you, who was also sort of a bully.”
He let out a louder laugh. “Crazy old man!”
“And as a raw recovery, there you go!” Page pointed to something behind him but he ignored it, because the view in front of him was better … Page, with her long hair blown away by the wind, very beautiful in the accompaniment of light coming from the different colors of fireworks …
This is how he was stunned here back then, when he first saw her at the bar … the colors also played on her beautiful face …
Please ask who is the future husband of this lady so that he can shout to the world that he is…
“Ouch!” his emotional glare at her was interrupted when Page squeezed his ear.
She also jumped down from his waist.
“I’ve been talking before, I know I’m beautiful and my charm is amazing but turn around, Blue Dodge, I’m pointing something you fool!” Wrinkled the nose, Page said.
He chuckled. Alright, turn around, so, turn around.
Just to be surprised- when he turned around, he immediately saw those letters on the big billboard from where they were standing …
“Marry … me?”
“Hey! There’s no question mark! Just marry me, don’t put a question mark, Blue Dodge!”
He laughed. To his delight, he carried her again. She immediately cried like a child, wearing a dress.
He faced her and pinched their noses.
“So, why no question mark?”
“Because I don’t need an answer anymore. When you came into my life, I already knew the answer to that question.”
“Hmn, cheese, but … it’s okay.”
They sealed their smiles to each other with a deep and passionate kiss… again.
If he only knew that if he should be the one who said, ‘married me’, he wouldn’t have put a question mark on it either. Because the moment she came into his life, he knew, she’s only for him… she belongs to him…
