We are getting nearer to the end!!!

#MSeries2

The scents of flowers lingered on my nose, welcomed me, when I entered my office. Lumapit ako sa lamesa kung saan nakalapag ang mga ito. Isa isang hinaplos ang mga petals gamit ang aking palad. Different flowers were there but has the same color which is red. Binasa ko ang iilang greetings na nakasulat sa card bago nilapitan ang aking sariling lamesa.

The launching of our newest products were done. It was held yesterday and was a success. Although, we also held a party after the event I wanted an extension of the celebration. I know everything is done already and the conference room is already prepared for all of us. Today, I wanted to personally say my gratitude and appreciation to those people who helped for the yesterday's successful event. Baguhan palang ako at natututu kaya tatanawin kung utang na loob ito sa kanilang lahat. From the boards, associates, investors and even to the employees for thier hardworks.

You see. I won't deny being drained and exhausted for what happened that night. Halos mag iisang linggo na at hinding hindi ko iyon makakalimutan. Carlos didn't text or call me again after that night. I didn't see anymore around our building not that I am expecting it from him. I know I don't have the right to feel bothered but I couldn't help it. Tama lang ang ginawa ko. It's a choice that will both set us free. We can be happy even when we are not together. I will always pray for his happiness first. I broke and disappointed him so praying for him to find happiness is the least thing I can do. There are times when I get to realise that I always think about his side and not thinking about mine. But it won't be a problem to me. Seeing him happy and free will be my happiness. Ganon ko siya kamahal.

I will be happy and regret it for sure.

I have to bounce back from everything that's keeping me preoccupied emotionally. Aside from emotional dilemma I need to concentrate so it won't cause another work dilemmas too.

I heard my door swiftly opened and sounds of shoes on the floor made me turn. Ang ngiti ni Frances ang una kong nakita. Pormal na pormal ang dating na pinaghandaan talaga ang araw na ito.

Hanggang ngayon pala isipan parin sa kanya ang nangyari noong gabi. He followed me because it took me for awhile to calmed down. But I couldn't go back inside the bar and I'm a total messed. I asked him to drive me home instead without answering any from his questions.

Poor Frances.

"We're about to start in five minutes..."he said.

I eyed the flowers on the table behind him. Binalik ko sa kanya ang tingin at tumango.

"Let's go."saad ko at unti unting humakbang papalapit sa pintuan upang makalabas.

My father couldn't help and got teary eyed clapping his hands together with the people inside the conference room. Matapos kong ibahagi ang malaking pasasalamat sa kanilang lahat ay nagpalakpakan sila. Si daddy ang unang lumapit sa akin at yumakap.

He wiped the wet sides of his eyes. "I'm so proud of you."

Tumawa ako. It made me happier seeing him here dahil isa rin naman siya sa mga taong pasasalamatan ko talaga. Without my father I will never know what life is all about. What success means. And what will it take to do risks in business.

I was greeted by some of my friends. Nakipag usap ako saglit at nagpasalamat na dumalo sila kahit alam kung pagod pa mula sa party. I, then, excused myself and check if everybody is fine with thier drinks and whatsoever or if they still need anything.

"Martina!"

My mouth formed an O when I saw Paulo Araneta in his dashing coat. His features were still the same but he grew some beard on his face.
