Fell in Love with the President

Chapter 17

Jade's POV

Andito pa din kami sa lounge nitong hotel. We were having a dinner na din. When Tita Meldy asked me a question. Oo nga pala. Ngayon lang kami nagkaharap in person. Ang ganda ganda nya talaga. And for a 92 year old lady, malakas pa sya ah. Nakakaintimidate yung presence nila.

'So Jade, I heard na you're working as a trainer in a BPO company while studying paano mo nama-manage yung oras mo?' Tita Meldy

Nginuya ko muna yung kinakain ko and lumunok. Ewan ko ba, napepressure ako. Eto na yung part ng meeting the in-laws eh. Kaya kinakabahan ako.

Tumingin ako kay Bonget at nakita kong nakatingin ang lahat sa akin. We were sitting down sa isang malaking round table kaya kitang kita ko silang lahat.

'Uhm, its just a matter of time management Madame. There are some instances na nagsasabay yung oras ng trabaho pati pag aaral, but Im making sure na hindi ako nagkukulang both sides.'

'What course are you taking Iha?' Tita Meldy

'Bachelor of Science in Public Administration po. Im a 3rd year student Madame' magalang kong sagot

'I see. That's quite difficult ah? Tama nga sila Bongbong, matalino ka nga talaga. And dont call me Madame. Masyado ka namang formal. Just call me Mama Meldy.' she giggled

I just smiled at her and we continue eating our dinner. After that, nagrequest pa si Irene ng isa pang kanta which I willingly responded

Pumunta ako sa stage ng lounge and I began strumming my guitar. I decided to play a Beatles song dahil favorite ni Bonget to

'When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be'

Nakita ko namang pumalakpak sila Bonget and he came to the stage. Kaya hinayaan kong tapusin nya yung kanta. Alam ko lang yung chords ng kantang to pero diko kabisado yung lyrics. Sorry naman hahaha

Natapos yung kanta ko. Parang nasarapan sa pagkanta tong isa kaya pinatugtog pako ng isa pang kanta. Hey Jude naman yung jina jam namin ngayon.

Lumalim na yung gabi and we decided to call it a day. Salamat naman at natapos natong pasarprisa ko sa kanya. Im just hoping na naipakita ko sa kanya at sa lahat na sincere yung feelings ko para sa kanya.

'Goodnight everyone. Thank you Manang Imee and Ate Irene for making this possible. Hindi ko magagawa lahat nang ito, kung wala kayo' I told them and hugged them

'Sus. Wala yun ading, ikaw pa. Thank you for loving our brother and saving him from sadness. Masaya kaming makita sya na masaya' Manang Imee

'And for the nth time, stop calling me 'ate Irene', ako dapat tumatawag sayo nyan hahaha' Irene

'Sorry na. I cant help it eh. Turo ni mom kase hehehe' I said

They just smiled at me and umalis na. Mama Meldy hugged me and said na mag drop by daw ako sa mansion nila tomorrow. I smiled and said yes.

Kami na lang naiwan ni Bonget dito sa lounge. Kaya eto, kinakabahan na naman ako. Alam ko kaya tumatakbo sa isip ng lalaking yan hahaha

'Love? Gusto mong mag wine before going to sleep?' he asked

'Sige. Pero konti lang ah? Pagod na pagod nako today. I just want to lay down and sleep na' I answered him

Kumuha na sya ng wine and we began drinking while having a conversation.

'I cant believe you did that in such a short time. Considering na busy ka pa sa work and studies. I really appreciate everything you've done tonight, wife' Bonget
