Fred's POV

"Jackie...I have to go. Sasamahan ko pa si daddy sa office niya eh. Can I call you later?"

"Sure sige. Ingat kayo ni tito Francis!"

"Sige bye friend. I love you!"

"I love you too friend!"

Mabuti na lang nag I love you too si Jackie. May pambawi naman pero pigil iyak lang ako. Ganito pala ang feeling ng magselos. Maganda -kasi alam mong mahal mo yung tao na gusto mo. Hindi rin maganda -kasi parang it shows na I don't trust Jackie. And I want her to feel and know that I trust her regardless who she is with.

Nandito na kami sa office ni daddy. I am not sure why pero parang seryoso ang pag uusapan namin.

"Fredrick anak do you know why you are here?"

"I'm not sure dad"

"Gusto kong ipakita sayo how the company works. I o-orient kita and then mamaya ipapakita ko sayo ang lahat ng process sa factory para maging familiar ka."

I am just listening kay dad but my mind is elsewhere. I can hear him but not my full attention.

"Ok...? I have been here since I was young dad I see how things go." Sabi ko dito

"Yeah I know but I want you to familiarize and memorize how things work hindi lang sa factory but pati na sa office- paper works and reports. Remember, orientation pa lang to. After graduating college, you will help me handle the company na."

Nabigla ako dun. I know na darating ang araw na ito but I just didn't thininit would be this soon.

"H--ha? Dad di ba masyado pa akong bata to work in the company?"

"Sino pa ba maaasahan ko but my own son? I know bata ka pa kaya nga ngayon pa lang magsimula ka na. Ano game?"

"Dad?" Napayuko ako. I can't say no kay dad pero gusto ko muna mag isip.

"Ok...you seem not focused. Gusto ko ready ka at alert ang mind mo pag nandito ka. You seem distracted. Hindi ka pa ata ready anak. Nextweek na lang siguro."

"No--no dad kaya ko po its just that-"

"No. Next week na lang. Here."

May binigay si daddy na envelope sakin.

"Ano to dad?"

"Open it."

Hindi ako makapaniwala. Its a round trip ticket from Cebu to Manila and Manila to Cebu. Nagulat ako at napangiti. So he planned this all along?

"D--dad?!"

"Sasamahan ka ng ate Faye mo. Tatlong araw lang ibibigay ko sayo to be with Jackie. But on one condition."

"Sure po dad anything"

"Pag nabuntis mo si Jackie mawawalan ka ng mana ha. Sa kalsada ka na rin matutulog." Pabiro niyang sabi
