Suzane Meets the Staff

Suzane's POV

night.

I need to call mom and dad to let them know that I'm already in Batangas and I'm with Rhian.

skype ..........

"Oh Uncle Gary. Sorry to call you. I can't call mom and dad with my phone. Can you tell them that I'm fine ?" I'm trying to call them but mom is in a busy tone. I tried to call Marco and he is still in a meeting and even Franco's phone is busy. So i have no choice to call Uncle Gary. He is the trusted driver and secretary of my Dad.

"Sige po Señorita. Makakarating, pero bukas ko pa masasabi. Tulog na po kasi sila"

"Oh no problem. I just want to make sure that they know where I am. And let them know that I will visit the Villa this Saturday, bit anyway I will call tomorrow maybe at afternoon.

"Sige po. Mag iingat po kayo jan señorita."

"Thank you. Bye." Uncle Gary is so sweet.

The day went fast. And I really admire Rhian how simple she can be. She kept her promise to take good care of my car. I'm expecting to pay big amount since they did all the work without disturbing me. But in my surprise, the price is so friendly. I'm now preparing for my visitation in Villa. We are going to use my car since Rhian can't Mustang.

"Oh gising ka na pala. Nakahanda na ang almusal." then smile at me.

"I don't eat heavy food during breakfast." nakangiwi kong banggit. I feel bad. She prepared it.

"It's okay Zia, pareho pala tayo. May tea jan. Gawa ko yan. Paborito ni Donya Catalina, you can try it. I'm sure you will like it." excited niyang paanyaya.

pumunta ako ng mesa at tinikman ang tsaa. At ramdam mo ang aroma ng tea. Feeling ko all in one. Amg sarap sa lalamunan. "Oh my god Rhian. This is so good."

"nagulat naman ako sayo, diba masarap? (tumango ako nang nakangiti) you can watch the television. I need to clean up Mustang.

"Mustang who?" taas kilay kong tanong.

"Ayy, motor ko yun. And by the way nanjan na ang sasakyan mo."

"Really? How much do I owe?"

"Sabi ni Tatay Elias 5,600 daw. Binilhan nya kasi ng bagong battery ang sasakyan mo dahil parang natambak ng matagal ang sasakyan mo. Then kailangan nila bumili ng tubeless na gulong dahil mamahalin ang sasakyan mo."

"Really? That's so cheap. I'm expecting to pay around 15K"

biglang natawa naman sya "Hindi sila maniningil nang ganiyan kalaki. Kilala ko si tatay Elias. Mapagkakatiwalaan mo sya."

"Yeah I agree. I wanna see my car."

paglabas ko nakita ko siyang tinatanggal ang takip ng isang BIG BIKE? omg. How cool. "Is that your bike?"
