Chapter 2
LEON'S POV
Hindi mapigilan ni Leon ang mag pakawala ng malalim na buntong-hiningga na mapag-isa na lamang siya sa kaniyang silid.
Tumunog ang telephone at sinagot ni Leon ang tawag.
"Sir, I will just remind you that your board meeting will start at two in the afternoon." Paalala ng secretary nitong si Cathy.
"Okay thanks Cathy." Walang buhay na lintarya ni Leon at sinandal nito ang likod sa swivel chair.
Leon folded his hand, while looking at the pile of files he had to make and finish. Hindi pa niya matapos-tapos ang mga naka tambak na mga gawain dahil, his head is already hurting from the afternoon work and meetings that he has to attend.
His phone rang and he just let out a deep sigh when he saw who was calling him at this moment.
"Yes Dad?" Walang buhay niyang tinig.
"How are you Leon? How is our business?" Panimula nito sa kabilang linya. "I talked to Mr. Martinez, and he told me that he liked the way you negotiated with him and he was willing to partnership with our company... When that thing happen, our business will be stronger. Alam mo naman kong gaano ka-impluwensiyang tao si Mr. Martinez at dapat hindi siya mawala sa ating mga kamay." He was Don Ignacio Rodriguez, a successful businessman of all time. Kasalukuyan nasa States ang kaniyang Papa kasama ang kaniyang Mama dahil sa ilang negosyo nila sa ibang bansa na dapat nilang asikasuhin at gawin.
Si Leon na lang ang naiwan sa Pilipinas, para ipag patuloy ang naiwan na mga negosyo at property ng kaniyang mga magulang.
"I know that thing Dad. I'm still fixing my schedule. Naka laan na din sa susunod na mga araw ang meeting naming dalawa ni Mr. Martinez. Huwag kayong mag alala Dad, dahil gagawin ko ang lahat para lamang makuha natin siya." Determinado kong sambit.
"That's what I want to hear from you Leon."pag pupuri nito sakaniya. Mahalagang bagay na para sa'kin ang mapansin at mapuri niya ako sa aking ginagawa sa aming kompaniya.
At the age of 29 years old, he is the owner of the Luxurious Company. Whose business is to make pastries that they export to various stores and Malls. For several years his parents nurtured recipes that they had inherited from their parents and passed them on to heirs. Now the recipe has been inherited from Dad’s Mother and it has hit people’s tastes... So now they are the most famous and well -known maker of delicious cakes and pastries on the side of the country.
Several times their Company also featured in newspapers, TV news articles and once also a guest on a TV shopping just to show and endorse how delicious their product is.
Their company has also received many honors and awards for their excellent delicious products. Kaya ngayon mas lalo ko pang ginagalingan para lamang maging proud si Dad sa lahat ng aking ginagawa. I want to repay all the hard work and sacrifice my Dad makes just to make our company successful.
"Narinig ko ang nangyari, at tumawag ang anak mong si Anna sa'kin kagabi," seryosong tinig nito sa kabilang linya. Kahit malayo ang mga magulang niya, mahal na mahal ng ito ang kaniyang anak, na ini-spoil nito sa mga bagay na gusto nito. "At sinabing pinagalitan mo na naman siya Leon. Intindihin mo na lang ang anak mo. Don't be harsh on her."
"I know Dad. Dinidisiplina ko lang ang anak ko, ginagawa ko naman ang bagay na ito para sa ikakabuti niya. Maiintindihan niya naman kong bakit ginagawa ko ang bagay na ito!"
"Is this maybe the right time for you to find someone to marry?" Umarko bahagya ang kilay ni Leon sa naging suhesyon ng kaniyang Papa. "Simula no'ng namatay ang asawa mo, wala kanang oras sa sarili mo na puro trabaho na lang ang inaatupag mo. Maganda rin na bigyan mo na rin ng Mommy si Anna, tiyak kong magugustuhan niya ang bagay na iyon. Mag se-set ako ng blind-date sa mga anak ng kumpari at business partner ko, para makilala mo sila. What do you think?"
