It's been three weeks, three weeks nang wala si athena sa tabi ng asawa,at walang ibang ginawa si dave kundi dumalaw sa ountod ng mga ito,tapos uuwi uoang uminom,mag pakalasing,at mag mukmok,umiyak sa kanyang silid,ni hindi rin ito pumapasok sa opisina,mabuti na lamang at namalagi muna si abie sa Pilipinas,at sya muna ang nag aasikaso sa negosyo nito.
Sobrang awang awa si abie at justin sa kanya,ngunit wala silang magawa uoang matulungan ito,minsan sinubukan nilang dalhin ito kung saan para makalanghap manlang ng sariwang hangin,o makapag relax ngunit oanay ang tanggi nito.
"Man how about we go to Paris to relax? We have to visit your ranch there and for sure your horses already missed you"
"You can go,just let my assistant that you will go there"
"I want to go with you pare,mas enjoy pag andun ka"
"No thanks,i can't relax,mag mumukha lang akong selfish"
"Why?
"How can i be happy when i just lost my family?
"Dave,i know it will take you time to go back to normal ,but atleast try to you know think of your self"
"They are my life pare"
Umpisa nito at umiiyak na naman.
"I know"
"Then just let me be"
"Ok then,basta if you need anything call me ok,i will make time for you"
"Thank you man"
"You are always welcome,well i have to go,i'm meeting abie,we have to talk about the business"
"Thank you for helping her man"
"Anything for you man,sige na,get some sleep,and don't drink ok"
"Bye"
Sabi lang nito at binabaan na ng telepono ang kaibigan.
"Nag hihintay si Justin sa loob ng mall sa oag dating ni abie,ng mejo mabagot ito ay nag lakad lakad ito,napahinto ito sa isang baby shop store ng makita si Doc. Almira na abalang tumitingin sa mga gamit pang batang babae.
Nag taka ito dahil ang alam nya ay malaki na ang nag iisa nitong anak,pero naisip nya na baka nag asawa na iyon at nag silang ng sanggol na babae.
Pinag walang bahala nya ito,at nag tuloy tuloy sa pag lalakad.
"Justin"
"Oh finally,kanina pa kita hinihintay"
"Pasensya na na traffic eh"
"Lagi nalang yan ang palusot mo ha"
"Totoo yan hindi palusot"
Mag sasalita na sana sya ng napatingin sya sa bandang kaliwa nya,at nakita nito si Doc.almira na nakatingin rin dito,kumaway kaway sya sa doctora ngunit nag kunwari itong walang nakita at nag mamadaling lumabas.
"Who is that?
"Athena's doctor,sya yung nag pa anak kay athena"
"How rude,did she just ignored you?
"I don't know,but don't mind it"
"So let's go,gutom na ako eh"
"Yeah sure,where to?
"Anywhere,oh let's go try that mexican resto"
"Ok,mexican resto then"
"By the way did you talk to kuya?
"Yeah i did,i tried to convince him to fly to paris,but like usual,he said no"
"I reqlly don't know what to do with him,i know it's too early to move on,pero kung makikita lang sya ni athena,for sure nabatukan na sya"
"Just let him for now"
Nag mamadaling lumabas ng gusali si Doc.Almira ng makita nito ang kakilala nya,at nagkunwari oa itong hindi nya ito nakita.
Papasok na sya ng kanyang building ng marinig ang batang umiiyak.
Nataranta ito,kahit alam nyang wala ni isa silang kapitbahay,ayaw nyang may makarinig sa boses ng bata.
Kayat patakbo syang pumasok sa kwarto na kung saan nanggagaling ang tinig.
"Shut up,will you feed her?
"I am,but i don't know what is wrong,baka may nararamdaman ang anak ko"
"Let me check"
"Please,indon't know what to do"
"She's fine,go eat para may madede ang bata"
"Why are you doing this to me and my child? I've done nothing to you"
"I'm doingbthis for my daughter"
"If you love your daughter then don't do this"
"Shut up and eat"
Pagkasabi nun ay lumabas na ng kwarto ang matanda,agad itong nag tungo ng kusina uoang mag handa ng pang gabi nila.
Samantala hindi mapakali si Justin sa kanyang bahay,at laging tumatakbo sa kanyang isip si Doc.Almira.
Kaya namab may tinawagan ito sa kanyang telepono dahil mejo masama ang kutob nito.
"Yes sir?
"I want you to investigate on this person"
"Name sir?
"I will send you later,i wan't you to gather everything about this one,lahat"
"Ok sir,will let the boys dig"
"Good,i want this to be secret,do not tell anyone"
"Sure sir"
"This is confidential,so i want you to work with this person,but becarefull this might be dangerous or what"
"Huwag kang mag alala boss,kilala mo mga tauhan natin,walang kinatatakutan"
"Ok good,i'm sending you the profile,work as soon as possible"
"Ok sir,makaka asa ka"
"Good,ok then"
"Sige sir"
At binaba na nito ang telepono,Justin own a investigation company,it is huge company that not only operate in the Philippines but also in other country,kayat madali lang nilang mahanap o mahanapan ng butas ang kahit sino man,madami syang galamay,kayat malaki ang tiwala nito sa kanyang right hand.
Tanging si Dave lang ang nakaka alam ng kanyang kumpanyang iyon,dahil ang alam ng iba ay tanging mga sasakyan lang ang hawak nito.
Like what a genius said,never show the true you.
