Gavin's Pov

                      Bored na bored na ako ngayon!!! Tapos na ang business summit dito kaya wala na akong magawa. mabuti pa tawagan ko na lang si Tita Laurice for lunch. Si tita Laurice, "Lau" for short ang OIC ng Choi Internationals dito sa New York,the ex-wife of Tito Vince na bestfriend at business partner ng dad ko. Tita Lau is such a sweet mom. For all I know, nandito yata sa New York ang anak niya and the last time we have met, she was inviting me for a meal for me to meet her daughter. So since, I'm not busy today, I decided to invite her for lunch. Tinawaan ko na.

                     "Oh hijo?! Napatawag ka?",masayang bati ni tita Lau sa akin after niyang sagutin ang tawag ko. 

                     "Ah Tita, would you mind if I will invite you for lunch today? I just hope it is okay with you."

                        "'I'm sorry hijo. But I can't make it for this moment eh. But if Okay lang sa'yo later at dinner pumunta ka sa bahay so that I can make dinner for us and for you to meet my daughter. Do you still remember her?"

                      "Yes Tita. I still remember her. It would  nice if I'll  meet her. Thanks Tita. I'll be with you for dinner."

                        "Okay,be at our building at 7pm if it's okay with you."

                       "Yes Tita. Thanks"

                      "Thanks din Hijo ang you are always welcome. So I'll see you later,bye."

Lindsay's POV

           Katatapos ko lang makipag chat kay Camille and still she kept on tesing me about the guy na nakabunggo sa akin. And she always say na baka daw pinagtagpo na kami ni DESTINY!!! For Pete's sake, hindi naman totoo yun right?! After our conversation, I prepared myself for a Lunchdate with my "newfound friend" that I have met last time on a seminar. She is Irene Lee. She is so nice kaya we easily became friends.

       Natapos na kami kumain ni Irene when we decided to go to park near sa Statue of Liberty.

           "Alam mo,Linds? I think dapat mo malilala si Kuya. I'm sure magkakasundo kayo. He is such a good kuya to me and a son to our parents",nakangiting pagkukwento niya.

          "H-ha? P-paano mo naman nasabing magkakasundo kami aber?",kunot noo kong tanong.

         "Hmm, nothing nase-sense ko lang. Alam mo kasi you were both matalino,bagay kaya kayo",nangangarap na sabi niya.

              "Tss. Ewan ko sa'yo. Alam mo namang I'm not in mood to have a relationship",sabi ko.

             "Linds,what if di ka makapag-move on? Don't tell me,papasok ka ng kumbento at mag mamadre ka?"pambubuska pa niya.

                  "Bruha!! Haha. Of course not",natawang saad ko.

              Nag kukwentuhan pa kami when suddenly our coversation was interrupted by my mom. She is calling me kaya I excuse myself to answer mom's call.

                  "Hello Mom? May problema po ba?" bungad na tanong ko.

                  "Nothing. Ahm, baby, what time ka pa ba makakauwi? Where are you ba?"

                 "Well, pauwi na rin po ako. Why?"

               "Well that's good to hear. Be here at dinner. I'll introduce you to someone. Okay?"

               "Yes,ma. I'll be there. Bye mom,I Love you".

                "I love you to baby,bye".

                After our conversation,nagpaalam na rin ako kay Irene. I was inviting her to join us but she said that next time na lang at may gagawin pa daw siya. After na beso namin umalis na ako.          Medyo traffic ngayon so I texted my mom na baka malate ako ng konti due to traffic.

  At last, Nandito na rin ako sa tapat ng pinto ng mga Choi. I pressed the doorbell. Di rin nagtagal ay, bumukas na ang pinto and Tita Lau welcomed me with a warm hug.

    "Hello Hijo. How are you? C'mon, have a sit and just feel at home",mainit na pagbati sa'kin ni Tita.

  "Okay lang po ako Tita. Kayo po kamusta po kayo?. Here tita. I hope you'll like the cake.",nakangiting bati ko as I sit on their couch sabay abot ng cake..

 "I'm still pretty Hijo.Haha.",nakatawang saad niya."Btw, Thanks sa cake. You're still the same still sweet. Hijo, Maiwan muna kita jan. I'll just finish my dishes",dagdag pa niya.

  "Okay po."

Maya-maya pa'y bumaba na rin si Madame Yngrid mula sa kwarto niya.

"Gavin, kamusta ka na Hijo? Long time ah", sabi niya sabay yakap sa akin.

"I'm fine,Madame. How about you?",balik-tanong ko.

"I'm okay apo."

Nagkakwentuhan pa kami ni Lola when someone knocked the door.

"Nako. Baka si Linsay na yan.",excited na sabi niya saka bumaling sa katulong "Berna,Please poen the door".

"Lindsay?",ulit ko sa pangalang binanggit nito.

"Ah oo Hijo. She is my apo."

So lindsay pala ang name niya. What a nice name. I grinned.
