Memories Of You

Remedios

September 2022

Makati, Manila

The usual breeze brought about by the start of BER month always brings joy to Remedios. But this particular September ay hindi tulad ng dati. Before, she would be excited sa pagsisimula ng pista ng pasko because she will get to see and mingle sa mga batang tinutulungan nila. May charity work kasi sila ng kanyang boyfriend, soon-to-be husband na si Ferdinand para sa mga batang nag sa-suffer sa sakit na cancer

Now, more than anything, ay mas excited na siya sa nalalapit nilang kasal

It's been two-years since she got engaged sa kanyang boyfriend for 10-year. Ever since she started dating the man, since high school, hindi na niya nakita ang kanyang sarili na magpapakasal pa sa iba

Ferdinand is her perfect man

Tall, light and handsome. Some people would disagree with him being tall, pero sa totoo lang, matangkad talaga ang kanyang fiancé. 5'9 kaya yon! But she's so tall din kasi, kaya ayun nagmumukhang maliit si Ferdinand. But aside sa good physical appearance ng kanyang soon-to-be husband, kinikilig pa din siya kapag naiisip niya iyon, she loves the guy more because of his character. Mabait at sobrang talino ni Ferdinand. Plus, her man is so down-to-earth! Despite of being a filthy-rich man, her Ferdinand is so humble and kind. Kind to a fault na nga minsan

'Good morning, Ma'am'

And this is her normal morning routine. Being greeted by many of Ferdinand's employees. The smiles on their faces also add para mas mapaganda pa ang kanyang araw. These people are the same people who's been in the company for many, many years. Hindi matatawaran ang loyalty ng mga ito sa pamilya Marcos. But who wouldn't? The family is known for being just and fair sa mga tauhan nila. Be it the managers all the way sa janitors at mga kasambahay

'Hey, babe'

The annoyance that Ferdinand has for his stupid operation manager disappeared right the moment na pumasok ang napaka ganda niyang fiancé. One look at her angelic face and all his problem vanishes like ashes. And her smile is like a candle that always lit up a smile on his own

'My life saver'

And without missing a beat, he grabbed his girlfriend by her waist and pulled her to him for a kiss. Aggressive kiss, that Remedios laughingly tried to push him, but to no avail. Ferdinand just tightened his grip on her while he too is smiling stupidly

'Alright, that's enough'

Stopped Remedios after giving him a big kiss. She moved to sit on his chair, kaya sinundan ito ni Ferdinand at umupo naman siya sa kanyang lamesa

'To what do I owe the pleasure?'

He sweetly inquired while caressing his girlfriend's rosy cheek

'Why? Do I have to have a reason to see my fiancé? Hindi ka ba masaya na dinalaw kita?'

She said with such cute disappointment on her face that makes Ferdinand's heart jump in joy

'No, you need not any reason at all'

He was about to kiss her again when she pushed his face away and she got up from the chair. She needs to stop her fiancé bago kung ano pang magawa nilang dalawa dito sa opisina

'That hurts'

He prentended

'You have work to do, and so do I. I just stopped by to see you and remind you of our appointment with the studio. They said na ready na daw yung pre-nup shoot natin. You wouldn't allow me to get it myself naman, diba?'
