Irreplaceable You

63: Here I am

Loel

It's almost 5 pm, we're trying to delay it until 5pm when the original plan is 4pm. Hoping my little sister will come.

Who knows what miracle might happen.

The police are on site disguise as guest in this event.

I saw Nico and Jhoana already arrived with the other girls.

Most of the guest are immediate friends, investors and of course family. Tomorrow we'll open this to the general public.

I'm proud of Isabel, finally she made her dream resort. Her dream house for Jhoana.
Silang dalawa na lang ang kulang.

Dear God, please send Bea back to us.

"Kuya, the program's about to start? Are you still gonna wait for her?" Thirdy

"There's still 10 minutes Thirdy, if wala pa siya ng 4:59, we'll start na. I'll be the one giving the opening speech in Bea's position." Loel

Thirdy went inside while I still wait here in the gate.

"Come on Sis...." Loel

"Loel wala pa din?" Daddy Elmer

"Wala pa din Dad, how's Mom?" Loel

"She's worried Loel. Have you tried calling her?" Daddy Elmer

"I can't still contact her dad. What if.." Loel

"No, don't say that, she's strong, she'll make it. Just believe in your sister." Daddy Elmer

"It's almost 4:59 Dad, I need to go inside and start the event." Loel

"You should go, take your mom with you. I'll wait here." Daddy Elmer

I agreed with Dad. This event must go on. The plan must go on, for Bea.

Thirdy

I saw Kuya Loel finally coming here, he's still alone. Meaning no Beatriz.

I walked up the podium.

"Sorry for making you guys wait. Now we're formally start the program. To start the program may I call on Coach O, to lead the prayer." Thirdy

In between those prayers, I'm asking and begging for Bea to come. She must see her resort. She must see her first project as a CEO.

Coach O already finished praying and as the host I took the podium again.

"Is everyone ready?" Thirdy

Everyone answered Yes. Which made my heart melts. Everyone is waiting for this.

"To formally start it, let me call Mr. Loel De Leon to start the program in behalf of Ms. Isabel Paras." Thirdy

"Good afternoon everyone, as we all know, my sister known as Isabel Paras came back to us. My younger sister who I adore so much had a dream. To open up a resort, I onced asked her why. She just said that the sunset over a beach felt like home to her. She made a house here first five years ago. Siya gumastos non lahat from her endorsements over college and some sideline work sa company. My little sis is really hardworking. She made that house as a gift for her girlfriend. And now she made a resort as a gift for herself. I'm beyond proud to formally open this resort. Everyone behold The Villa Triz!" Loel

Everyone clapped their hands as we unveil the barrier that keeping the resort unsee.

I saw some of ALE are crying. We're proud of you Beadel.
