Chapter 19

Three Years Later;

"Mom, alam na ba ni George na umuwi tayo?" Tanong ni Olivia kay Kristina.

Yes, they've took a vacation since may mga importante rin naman silang aayusin kaya nagdesisyon silang umuwi muna ng Pilipinas.
Kahapon lang sila dumating at ngayon ay susugod sila Alex, Gesille at Jazz anytime today.

Christian, as a Filipino citizen whom migrated in US with his family, will be there later. Magkasama silang umuwi sa Pilipinas at may dinalaw lang na kamag-anak.

"Yes. May mga inaasekaso pa raw kaya hindi pa rin naman natin makaka-usap." Sagot ni Kristina.

"I see. So, when will you go visit the company?" She asked her mother.

Nasa poolside sila at nilalantakan ang binake na Chocolate cake ng ina.

"That question suit you, darling." Kristina jested.

"Anytime soon." She replied.

"Good! Ikaw CEO 'non eh." Pagbibirong muli ng ina. Olivia tsked and took a bite of her chocolate cake.

"How about Left's? Kailan ka bisita 'don? For sure they missed you already." Kristina asked again. A genuine smile flashed on Olivia's lips.

"Yes, Mom. Matagal na 'kong ready. Si Christian lang ang mabagal." She jokingly said and giggled. Napa-iling nalang si Kristina dahil sa sagot ng anak.

"Ibang ready Ang tinutukoy mo Tin. Teka, I'll call Christian na para -"

"Ma! Para ka namang ano eh. Oo nga, ready na 'ko sa Left's. It's been five years again and I want to see my restaurant' doing." She cut her mom and explained. Kristina shook her head and faced her daughter.

"Hoy, Kerstin! Tandaan mo, 38-years-old ka and you're not getting any younger for goodness sake!" She mumbled. Olivia make face.

"So? Nandyan naman si Sofia and Christian." She reasoned out.

"Hayst! Hindi na ba ako aasa ng apo sa'yo?!" Kristina asked exaggeratedly.

"Whatever, Mommy." She replied and giggled.

"Hello, hello people of the United States of America!"

Umalingawngaw Ang martinis na boses ni Alex sa loob ng mansion ng mga Savedra pag pasok palang nito sa pinto.

"Gosh, Alex! Ang ingay mo pa rin!" Olivia whined. They hugged each other that lasted for a minute and exchanged beso.

"We missed you, Tin! Grabe, ang puti!" Gesille exclaimed and hugged her again.

"Kase dati pa syang maputi, Ges. 'Wag kang ano dyan." Alex blurted out.

"Kamusta Tin? It's been five long years again, ha!" Jazz asked and said the latter.

Olivia leads them to the living room where they can talk comfortably. They're talking and talking and laughing when Kristina walks downstairs na agad sinalubong ng mga yakap ng tatlo.

"Tita!" They've exclaimed in chorus.

"Hello there!" Kristina smiled widely seeing them inside their home. Nagyakapan sila at halos hindi na mapuknit sa Ginang.

"May pasalubong po ba kami, Tita?" Tanong ni Jazz.

"Hoy Jazz! May anak ka na pero mukha ka pa ring pasalubong." Pang-aasar ni Alex sa isa na ikinatawa naman ni Kristina at Gesille, Jazz nudged Alex. Olivia just shook her head because of their playful acts.

"Kayo, ang ingay nyo. Mahiya naman kayo kay Tita oh! Pero meron nga ba Tita?" Sabat ni Gesille at tumingin kay Kristina na parang Isang batang humihingi ng candy sa ina.
