One Deep Love

Chapter 24

Luna's POV

"Are you really sure dad na ikaw na lang ang pupunta doon sa kompanya?" I assured him kasi sinabi niya kagabi na papasok siya ngayong araw instead of me kasama si Kuya Kai. Nasa hapag kami ngayon at kumakain habang naka-harap naman ako sa laptop ko para ma-update ko sila Secretary Kim na papasok na si dad.

Alam naman na nila ang tungkol kay dad na na-discharged na siya but I don't think na makakapasok siya ngayon. Hindi pa rin kasi ako kampante.

"Yes, I already told you. Papasok ako ngayon." Napailing na lang ako sa ka-kulitan ni dad saka dinampot ang phone ko since hindi ko naman magagamit ang laptop.

"Fine, fine. Oo na, papasok ka na nga. Kulit." Nasabi ko na lang sakanya and I excused myself para ma-tawagan si Secretary Kim.

"Hello, Secretary Kim?"

[Yes, young madam?]

"I have a big news for you today. He's persistent to work now, and I couldn't do anything about it."

[Wait, Chief Executive Fernandez?]

"Mhm. Can you tell the others for me? He's not giving me anytime to explain to them since he really wants to go there now."

[Uh, s-sure young madam. But, I can't promise that things will go smoothly as you've expected since this is sudden, young madam.] Napa-buntong hininga naman ako.

"It's alright. Just make sure that everyone is ready since dad doesn't like failure ones, and oh, the office. Change its arrangement and turn it back to normal. Tidy up the office and make sure everything is under control, is that clear?"

[Y-yes, young madam.]

"Ask for help with the employees and ready the board members. Wait, do they already know that dad is...?"

[I'm afraid they don't, young madam.] Nanlaki ang mga mata ko don.

"Wait for a moment," nilingon ko sa likuran ko sila dad at napatingin naman sila sakin.

"The board members doesn't know about your sudden return, dad. I told you that I should just go and explain this to them." Sabi ko sakanya pero parang wala siyang narinig sa huling sentence na sinabi ko.

"It's fine, daughter. Let me and Nathan handle it. Ang kailangan mo ay pahinga mula sa stress at trabaho. I don't need your sermons." Napairap na lang ako sa sinabi ni dad.

"Are you sure you're going to deal with them? Dad, bigla kang bumalik ng hindi pa nila nalalaman. This is gonna be a long talk and you know the board members, kailangan updated muna sila sa exact date para mapag-handaan nila ang isang bagay. While you, bigla mo na lang sinabi sakin kagabi na ikaw ang papasok and I didn't even get to talk about this! Ugh, ewan ko ba sa inyo. Bigla-bigla na lang kayong susulpot ng walang appointment, tsk." Nas-stress kong sabi at binalik ko na si Secretary Kim dahil wala namang ibang lumalabas sa bibig ni dad kundi ang mga salita na sinabi niya kanina.

Hays, ang kulit talaga.

"Secretary Kim, you still there?"

[Uh, y-y-yes, young madam.] Napalingon ako sa aking likuran at napa-sapo na lang sa noo kasabay ng aking paulit-ulit na pag-iling. Sana all masaya.

Nag-pakawala ako ng malalim na buntong hininga and I feel like crying ng dahil sa tigas ng ulo ni dad. Manang-mana sakanya si Kuya Kai, ang tigas din ng ulo. Maski bato nga nabiyak ng dahil sa tigas ng ulo nun.

"I'm really sorry about this, Secretary Kim. I tried talking to him about this but he just doesn't listen and he really wanted to go back to work today. Can you handle this, Secretary Kim?" Nag-aalalang tanong ko kay Secretary Kim. Baka kasi nape-pressure ko na siya ng dahil sa bagay na'to.
