BLAG!!!

Arg! Pangalawang araw ko palang sa pinas pero pagod na pagod na ako. Ang daming tinanong ng dalawang matanda kahapon at hindi talaga nila ako tinigilan hanggat nila sila kampanteng hindi ako nagsisinungaling tapos kagabi naman ay lumipat kami dito sa Villa Quiza kung saan nandito ang mga kababaihang kasama sa entourage at hindi ko alam kung bat nandito ako. At ngayon? 

"Anak ko!"tumatakbong sigaw ng nanay ko sabay damba sakin


"Morning mom."inaantok kong sandal sa kanya 


"Ano ka ba naman Vesna. Para kang hindi masayang nakita kami ng tatay mo."


"Oh. Morning dad!"kaway ko naman sa kanya na may seryosong ekspresyon padin habang nakatingin sa akin kaya napabuga ulit ako ng hangin. Ito ang dahilan kaya ayaw kong umuwe


"Anak naman. Ang tagal mong nawala tapos yan lang sasabihin mo? Hala bumangon kana at magbihis. Buti nalang at papunta na talaga kami ng tumawag ang lola mo at sinabeng nandito ka daw. Alam mo bang muntik na kaming mawala sa mundo dahil sa gulat!"sabay batok sa akin kaya ayun nagising na ako ng tuluyan


"Fix yourself lady. Your mom said she'll make us breakfast. Hurry up. DOn't make her upset."seryosong talikod ni dad.


"Hayaan mo na ang tatay mo anak. Miss ka lang nun hehe."bungisngis na sabi ni mom at hinalikan ako ng mapakunot ang noo nito "Ang baho mo nak. Maligo kana ah."


"Mom I have a hung over."


"Huh? Kelan ka pa nagkahung over?"


"Tsk. Si buntis kagabi nababaliw. Gusto uminom kaya sinalo ko lahat ng tagay nya."


"Aw sweet. Di mo talaga matiis ang batang yun."


"Mom ang batang yun ay ikakasal na bukas."


"Oo nga eh huhu. Ikaw anak kelan ka ikakasal?"


"Pag may gusto nang magpasakal sakin."


"Oh! So pag may gusto pwede na?"


"Maybe. Maybe not."


"Paano nga kung meron anak? Papakasal kana? Dapat kami ni tatay ang maglalakadsayo sa altar ah."


"Mom. Malabong ikasal ako."


"Gulo mo namang kausap nak."


"Kakagising ko lang mom. Pwede po bang magpahinga muna ako? I am so damn tired with jetlag and hung over."


"Oh! Okay..."sabi nito at hinatak ako "But! maligo kana muna. dadalhin ko ang breakfast mo pati gamot okay."


"Kay. Thanks mom."tamad na tono ko

Exchanging vows are now happening and all of them are listening when my phone buzz and my boss I calling. Good thing because I don't really want to hear cheesiness and sweet talks. It makes me vomit

I was already at the side door of the Farm's church. Yes, we have our own church because of the hectare wide of the ranch and the church is very far from the ranch, when I accidentally bumped to someone but ignored it. Work is more important

"Sorry."that what I only say and proceed to the mini garden "Flinne"

"I heard you're at Philps."

"Where did you heard that?"

"It was very unusual for you to take leave from work Vesna." I rolled my eyes. 

"I thought you won't knew."

"Well, I was looking for you and your secretary informed me about your leave."

"Since when did you have time to get down and look for your employee boss?"

"I-i need some ehem.. I need someone to talk to."

"What the hell?"

"Just.. Come back here. I need to talk to about this f-friend of mine."

"Uh-huh."

"Vesna."

"Fine fine. I'll come back. My flight's set this evening anyway."

"Good. I need some advice. A woman's perspective."

"I thought your friend need me?"

"Hell yeah. Come home and I'll fetch you. Send me the details of you flight."

"Yeah yeah whatever."

"I'm seriously Vesna. I'll fire you if you won't--"

"We both know you won't baby. I'm the company's biggest asset, remember. Plus you won't let the kids starve right. Pick me at three in the afternoon tomorrow, ciao."

"You're leaving again. Without even meeting and explaining to me." and there he was. The last person I want to see in this short stay of mine, Zyrielle Andrada.
