My Upturned Life With You

Chapter 6

It's been a year and I've been busy with my studies.

Pati sila kuya. Naayos na ang mga papeles. We're siblings already!

Pumunta ako sa board room and what i saw is an unexpected visitor.

Mr. Dermaño.

"What are you doing here Mr. Dermaño? I can't remember you being our investor here." I told him with full sarcasm

"Is this how you welcome your guests Ms. Velez?" He told me in his sarcastic tone.

"Who told you that we cosider you as a guest? Secutiry! Dalhin sa labas si Mr. Dermaño. Ayaw kong makaapak syang muli dito." Utos ko sa kanila habang nakatitig pa rin sa mata ni Mr. Dermaño.

"Get out of this room before i file a case against you!" I told him. Baka hindi nila alam na lawyer na ang kapatid ko.

Yes. Pinadali namin ang process ng studies ni Kuya Vanjo. He took the course noon na pala! Tumigil lang! Actually, all of them learned so fast.

Investigator na si Kuya Drei because of the guidance of Tito Aldrich. Also Kuya Zeil. He's now a good agent!

Kuya Lexus is now also a Prosecutor. He graduated before! Bachelor's degree! Wala pa kasing K-12 noon at maaga syang nakapag-aral.

Doctor nalang namin ang nag-aaral.

"Don't feel full of yourself, Valerie! Hindi ganoon katatag ang kumpanya nyo. As far as i remember, those members of your board are just body guards before." He insulted them.

Oh Mr. Dermaño. You don't know that those men you're pointing to right now are professionals.

Why is he so triggered though? The company just opened a week ago!

Velez Enterprise, Velez Real State and other businesses opened last week.

Business world, I'm back!

I just laughed at Mr. Dermaño's face. Pulang pula naman ang mukha nya dahil sa sobrang galit.

Sa school naman ay maayos na ang buhay ko. Unlike before, i focused on my studies.

There's someone who can manage the company for me. I have Tito Aldrich and other trustable people. I just wish they wouldn't do the same thing.

"Valerie Rose Velez!" I heard my name being called upon the stage.

"Hoy beh akyat ka doon Gaga!" Kaye told me.

"Ha? Bakit?" Tanong ko.

"Pasok ka sa dl!" Sabi naman ni Sol.

Timawag ulit ako ng nag-aanounce kaya nagmamadali akong umakyat.

This is unexpected! Ako? Director's lister?

Pagkabalik ko sa inuupuan ko ay tinitigan ko ang medal.

Naabot ko na yung isa sa mga pangarap nila sa akin.

Ano naman kung abot kamay ko na yung pangarap kung wala naman sila sa tabi ko?

Fuck. I miss them so much.

As i look at the medal, i feel my tears flowing through my cheeks.

"Hoy bakit ka naiyak?!" Tanong ni Sam.

"Tears of joy." I told her. Tears of joy and pain.

She smiled at me. She looks so gorgeous.

Minsan naiinggit ako dito sa babaeng toh. Matalino, maganda, mayaman tapos famous pa!
