"Sorry, we're late" panimula ni Ali.

"Good evening," I greeted with a smile on my face.

Kakarating lang namin ni Ali sa restaurant. His been quite some time since I last dined at a such expensive restaurant. The last time I went to a restaurant like this I was with mom and dad. But now, I am with dad and his new family.

"It's okay, have a seat" mahinahong agap ni dad.

"Let's order"

While waiting for our orders. My jaw drop when I saw Symone standing in front of us.

"Good evening, tita" nakipagbeso siya kay Tita Imelda.

"Good evening, Tito Alfonso"

"Sinong kasama mo, Symone? May kadate ka ba?" Tanong ni dad.

Tumingin muna si Symone sa akin bago sumagot.

"Wala po,"

"Ah, I see. Dito ka na umupo, join us" Nakangiting wika ni dad.

Agad tumango si Symone at umupo sa tabi ni Ali.

"Kumusta ang pag aaral niyo?"

"Okay lang naman dad, may tinatapos kaming blueprint" si Ali.

Sumang-ayon naman si Symone.

"How about you, Janick?"

"Uh, my studies are fine"

Nang dumating ang order namin, nagsimula na kaming kumain. Nakikinig lang ako sa usapan nila dad, they are talking about business. Ngayon ko lang nalaman, na may real estate business pala ang family ni Symone.

"For sure, ikaw na ang magpapatakbi sa business niyo pagka graduate mo"

Nagulat ako nang umiling si Symone.

"Iba ang plano ko, Tito. My sister will take over the company. As for me, I want to be known in the field I have chosen. " He said.

Napamangha ako sa sinabi ni Symone. He will pursue doing things that he loves.

"I'm wishing a good luck on your future endeavors" Saad ni dad saka binalingan si Ali. "Ali will take care of my company after he graduates"

"Ali will make you proud, you'll never regret your decision, Tito"

Ali smiled. " Thanks, and also Alina will manage our resort in tagaytay after she graduates"

Muntik na akong mabulunan sa sinabi ni Ali.

"I forgot to tell Alina that she will be the owner of our resort"

"I also have a different plan after I graduate" agap ko.

"Is that so? May tatlong taon ka pa bago makapagtapos, pwede mo pang pag isipan ang sinabi ko"

Ngumiti ako at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.

"May girlfriend ka na ba, Symone?" Biglaang tanong ni Tita Imelda.

Umiling iling si Symone. Anong wala? How about Seanne? Have they split up? Akala ko seryoso si Symone. Dinagdag lang pala sa collection niya.

"Pero may nagugustuhan siya mommy" singit ni Ali.

"Totoo ba ba may nagugustuhan ka, Symone?" Mapanuyang tanong ni Tita.

" Yes, tita"

He glanced at me for a while and look away.

"How about you, Ali? May ipapakilala kana ba sa amin?"
