Fated To Love You

"Emerald !, get down there..you might fall"

Her nanny Lorie shouted at her in confusion.

"Get down, you brat, you might fall .." shouted again by her yaya lorie with bewildered cry.

"Hihihihi" Emerald laughed as she came down from the mango tree.

Nanny Lorie's nags to emerald after coming down.

"Oh you brat, get inside the mansion your sister Kristina has a visitor"

Emerald's eyes rolled as her sister Cristina probably had a visitor, only one person visits the mansion to visit her sister Kristina it is the eldest child of the Zobel de Ayala.

"Kuya Vincent!" , shouted as she ran into the mansion.

Aling Lorie was just shaking and smiling as she watched emerald running into the mansion. Since she was born she took care of that brat and the her age of fifteen she was a very beautiful child so she just had a young mind and if she could climb a tree you would think she was a man. Alas, almost all the trees in the whole hacienda wanted to climb.

"Hello emerald, is your sister Kristina there?" Vincent said as he stood up from sitting on the living room of the mansion.

"Hah? I don't know brother Vincent" Emerald didn't know to heeself why she answered that to the man.

She doesn't know why she felt annoyed when the first thing ehe looked for was her elder sister, I'm also beautiful like my sister. Emerald couldn't help but frown.

"Oh Why that kind of facial expression?, do you think I don't have anything for you ? At the same time, he was confused and smiled at Emerald's long hair.

Why do you think that older brother Vincent's smile became even more attractive to me? the man who is becoming more prominent With his cleft chin.

"Oh here, your favorite chocolates, my mom and dad brought from touring abroad" Vincent handed the chocolates to Emerald at the same time.

~ ~ Emerald immediately reached those chocolates smiling widely.

"Oh Why is your shorts dirty"? The young man noticed Emerald's dirty on it.

"You know that child is like a boy, the day is not complete if she can't climb the trees around the mansion oh so to the hacienda."Nanny Lorie replied next by Emerald who entered the mansion.

"Yaya Naman eh, I'm not a child anymore" Emerald stomped her feet on the marble floor of the mansion at the same time, she didn't know but she didn't want to be called a child especially in front of Vincent. He frowned again.

"Hahahaha, Vincent's laughter could be heard loudly," is this girl still climbing the trees? "Vincent laughed teasing Emerald, he was very fond with the bride's little , he was close to her because he does not have a female siblings, so he treated Emerald a younger sister.

" Duh I'm not young anymore noh?" Emerald frowned even more, she wanted herself to be grown up lady on the eyes of his older brother Vincent.

"Dont climb the trees anymore, you might fall and besides you are a girl" Vincent ruffled Emerald's hair again before turning to nanny Lorie.

" Is Kristina here a yaya? "he asked Emerald's smiling nanny.

" She might Come down any moment iho,she just having a rest because of a jetlag from travelling with her mother"

Emerald feels disgusted that Vincent is here because of her sister.She immediately went up to his room.

She saw Kristina in the middle of the stairs, she was beautiful on her lilac dress that matched her white and porcelain complexion.

Insidw the room, She looked at the princess sized mirror given by her father on hiee 15th bday from his business trip to Egypt, she was not satisfied with what she saw. Except for her sharp nose that ahe inherited from her late mother and thin lips that naturally have redness and narrowed eyes that he inherited from her father, she has nothing compared to her sister Kristina.

In addition, she has dark skin brought on by frequent bathing in the sea that is part of their hacienda. Is it like Vincent just treats me like as his sister? Because she is not as beautiful as her sister? She thought.

That even this male boyfriend of the older sister still does not pay attention on her.

Emerald just sighed and started eating the chocolate given by the man.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

After 12 hours of long travel from France, the huge plane finally landed plus an hour stop over at Dubai International Airport.

The door of the huge plane exited a slender woman, with a curvy hip that fits her long legged legs that you would think of a model dressed in pastel Armani fitted jeans and long sleeve white folded up to the elbow fitted With a wide hat with broken hair that beyond shoulders with dark glasses.

Exactly five years before Emerald returned to the Philippines, she did not return immediately after four years of studying fashion design at the Instituto Marangoni, a well -known fashion school in Paris France.

She had to stay a year in France for personal reasons, even herself has no idea what she wants to avoid in the Philippines. Its good thing after I received my certificate degree in fashion and Design I was lucky to be hired as junior fashion designer in one of the prestigious fashion company in France.

Emerald sighed as he walked dragging his luggage towards apart of NAIA where a private helicopter owned by her family was waiting to take her to their hacienda in Quezon province.

She felt mixed emotions when she got off the huge plane. She will admit that she missed the Philippines. Especially the man who caused her to leave and study far away.

The helicopter pilot met her immediately.

"Where's Daddy uncle Jun? Emerald asked in astonishment as soon as he reached her luggage. She expects that he was with her father who would pick her up.

"I'm the only one he sent, señorita," somehow older pilot avoided looking at hee, who was obviously hiding something.

She was still in elementary school when he became the pilot on their hacienda so they consider him a family member he is good at operating a helicopter.

"Welcome home señorita" said uncle Jun after the helicopter landed on the ground not far from the mansion of the Buensucesos. It will be four o'clock in the afternoon when they reached the hacienda.

There was a warm caress in Emerald's heart, Has she been selfish to the people with her for not coming home for five years? Emerald felt the warmth in its words.

She really missed her father and her yaya Lorie. The trees, the sea, the cattles and horses inside the hacienda. Emerald was full of emotion when she set hee feet on the ground.

"Dad ..." he ran to her father as she saw him standing at the spacious door of the mansion and waiting for hee.

Sideways the tears that Don Enrico hugged the youngest child, God knows how much he missed her princess.

"You're finally here my sunshine?" The girl nodded in tears, she felt how much her father missed her, he only called her sunshine when his father was tender and when he wanted to make her feel that he missed her.

"I home dad, I miss you dad"

"Is that why you put up with me not even visiting my son for five years?" There is a melody of his father's sullenness.

"Soo sorry dad" she said with a bow and wiped away the tears.

She was ashamed of her father, if her father hadn't visited her in France two years ago they wouldn't have meet her father. And his body changed a lot unlike when he visited her abroad last year.

"Yaya" she turned to nanny Lorie who was quietly crying next to her father.

Aling Lorie was very happy with her pet, which she has taken care off since she was born, is now already back home, which is also the day of the death of Doña Corazon, her mother who died in childbirth with her.

"My child is so beautiful" she cried as she hugged her tightly by Aling Lorie whom she considered her real child so she couldn't get married.

"I miss you so much nanny" cried Emerald.

"Rest in your room first child, her father said "I know you have jetlag, I'll just wake you up with Aling Lorie for dinner" said Don Enrico as he entered the mansion.

Mang Jun smiled as he watched the three enter the mansion, finally the princess of the hacienda is already home.The mansion and the hacienda will come to life again in return by señorita.

Upon entering her room, Emerald immediately closed the door.

She feels the nostalgia, she briefly recalled the happy memories during her childhood, abruptly tears roll from her eyes as she walks toward familiar cabinet. ~

~ She carefully pulls the drawer and sits on the bedside and puts it on her lap.

~ She tried to forget the man in her mind while she was in another country, but the more she tried to forget him the more she realized that the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life is the same man she adored when she was on her teens.

And she didn't know herself how to deal with it, but it was too late, here she was she had no choice but to pretend not to be hurt.

Now he misses her mommy so much, "Mommy, she whispered to herself while looking at the ceiling as if she could see her mommy there"

Tok, tok, tok, when Emerald heard a faint knock at the door of her room.

"My child ..." her nanny Lorie.

"Come in yaya, it's open" she muttered while wiping away the tears.

Her nanny Lorie came in and was sad and gloomy when she saw what on her lap, it was the drawer containing various gifts that she knew were came from her child's first love.

"Do you still love him?" At the same time, she sat next to Emerald and at the same time caressed her long hair.

Instead of answering, she hugged her nanny and cried. She couldn't keep it a secret because she had an open book with her nanny that the man she loved was she still loves him so much until now.

Aling Lorie felt sorry for Emerald, if only Doña Corazon was still alive, her youngest child would somehow be able to ease what she was dealt with.

Emwrald calmed down for a while from crying.

"Please rest first, child, I will just call you at dinner time, your daddy just sent this your favorite fresh mango juice harvested by the hacienda "

" Thank you nanny "And yaya lorie handed the glass with fresh mango juice .

Emerald woke up to the touch of the cold wind on her gentle face coming from the open window of the room.

She looked at the Big wall clock hanging on the wall, seven o'clock in the evening the time was set there. She slept for two hours., She thought

Yawning Emerald got up to close the open window. At that time, it was very cold in the whole hacienda because there were so many different types of trees surrounding the whole hacienda Buensuceso.

The girl looked out of the window. From where she was standing on the second floor of the mansion she could see the eternal darkness except for the lights that surrounded the mansion. Various emotions enveloped her heart again, there is no place like home. She's just worried about how she will deal with the man until now, her heart is full of love toward a him.

She has to get ready any moment from now her nanny Lorie will pick her up for dinner.

"Emerald ..." Exactly Emerald was able to get ready when her nanny Lorie called for dinner, she felt a little cold in the water after she took a shower.

"Come on child, your daddy is waiting in the dining room" she said after opening Emerald At the door of the room.

The two of them went downstairs to have dinner at the same time.

Emerald looked at their large family portrait on the living room of the mansion, she stared at the image of her mother.

" Do you miss your mommy? "Aling Lorie asked.

Why do I seem to be getting emotional especially When I step on the mansion again, Emerald sighed.

The smile on the lips of the girl who looked at yaya. "Come on nanny, daddy is waiting" instead of answering the nanny.

Sadly Aling Lorie just followed the beautiful Emerald to the dining room.

"Hi daddy,"

"Nanny Lorie and you sit down and the food will be cold" her father signaled.

Emerald just kissed her father and she sat on the left side of the father's chair parallel to her nanny Lorie.

All The food prepared by the chef is Emerald's favorite. Except for the lechon de leche and crabs pellet which is my father's favorite.

"Don't mind me hija, your father is really like this when he gets older, anyway , do you stay here for good?"

Emerald stopped eating, first drink the fresh mango juice in front then replied the father who was staring at him.

"I don't know Dad" she replied.

"Why? do you still have a plan to return to France and leave the Hacienda?" There is a sad melody in Don Enrico's voice. As a father, he doesn't want his princess to go back to go back in Paris.

Even Aling Lorie is looking at her Dearly , in her heart she doesn't want Emerald to leave again that she already considers as her own child.

"I just came home to attend my sister Kristina's wedding, by the way, dad, when will my sister come?" Emerald pretended to show excitement on her voice so that she could hide her feelings for her sister's upcoming wedding.

As a sole sister and only sibling, it doesn't look good and it's not appropriate not to attend her eldest daughter's wedding.

"I don't know to your sister, she said she'll be here before the wedding day, because she can't just come back from Switzerland yet in an early shedule. She can't just leave her job abroad without proper endorsement of the person who will replace her. " Her father responded of the father while shaking his head.

"But dad, how did ate Kristina's wedding dress measure if during the preparation, she was abroad?"

"You don't seem to know your sister, so she just sent the measurements to their wedding planner, and family of your brother -in -law will take care of their upcoming wedding "

Vincent is unfortunate, based on what he observed then, he knows how much the man loves his brother. She was sad inside. And that did not escape the sight of the father.

......

On the other hand at Hacienda Zobel de Ayala:

Two days before the grand occasion, the festivities are beginning even before the day of the union of the eldest son of the Zobel de Ayala, Vincent with the eldest daughter of the Buensuceso.

It is just next to Hacienda Buensuceso which is just in the middle of the national hi-way in the province of quezon. It is almost as big as Hacienda Buensuceso and includes a hacienda with an area of ​​more than one hundred hectares of copra and cattle as its main products while hacienda buensuceso is known for its mango plantation and horse bread.

All hacienda workers and staff are invited, There is no stopping the noise of cows and pigs being slaughtered while all the women are having fun while preparing dishes of various kinds of food.

"Hooo..hoooo .." the newcomer Vincent stopped riding his horse. He visited the slaughter of cattle and the preparations made by the staff of the hacienda.

"Good evening siñorito Vincent" almost simultaneously greeted by those workers of the hacienda Zobel de Ayala.

"Tatay Kardo, how was the slaughter? He asked the caretaker while riding the horse.

" Cows are ready for barbeque, the ten cows for different dishes are done "replied mang Kardo
