MABAGAL ang usad ng kaso para sa mga pinsan niya, but at least, they're spending their days inside the jail. Someone was backing them up, probably their parents, na ngayon ay pinaghahanap din nila. Her father almost fainted in anger when he learned that they've been withdrawing money from their company without him knowing it. Jillian was busy at her project that time, but she didn't used it as an excuse. She blamed herself for being careless, so, she's now doing her best para mabawi ang mga pera na nailabas ng mga ito.
"That's what you get for trusting your brothers!" Singhal ng Mommy niya habang pinapaypayan ang Daddy niya na nakahiga sa sofa.
Jillian crossed her legs, "don't worry, we can pull back the money. Be thankful, patok na naman sa masa ang gawa namin ng team ko." She flipped her hair and smiled proudly at her father.
Nag thumbs up lang ang Daddy niya at ipinikit ang mga mata nito.
"Hey, Dad! I need a vacation." Jillian said and his father immediately sat up.
"Sige, where and when?" He asked. Kumunot ang noo niya.
Bumabawi ang Daddy niya sa paraan na alam nito. And that's giving her a plane ticket, one week trip to Japan, South Korea at kung saan saan na bansa pero naca-cancel lang dahil ayaw naman niyang umalis sa bansa. And then, last week, he bought her a Kozuki Oden statue worth $469.99. And, a figure of Sanji, her favorite character wearing his raid suit in his dynamic pose worth $204.99. The collective figures she bought before were only worth $100 below, of course, his father gifts shocked her.
"Today, I already packed my things. Kasama ko sina Kuya at Ate, and of course my boyfriend!" She chirped.
Si Laur mismo ang kumausap sa kanya na bumalik muna sa bahay ng mga magulang niya. He told her that she needs time with her father especially hindi maganda ang huling usap nila. Pero ganoon pa rin ang routine nilang dalawa, after work, sa labas sila kakain and talk, although she's the only one who do the talking and Laur was attentively listening to her rants. Tsaka lang ito magsasalita kapag tapos na siya.
Minsan ay napapadpad siya sa bahay ng mga magulang nito na hindi alam ni Laur. Dahil nakabalik na sa bansa ang makulit niyang kaibigan, siya lagi ang pinupuntirya nito, palagi siyang kinikidnap. Dinamay pa ang ate nito na si Bridj. Kaya may mga araw na half day lang siya sa opisina. Laur's father also taught her how to bake the oatmeal cookies, madali lang kumpara sa itinuturo sa kanya ni Rion.
"Speaking of that man, kailan ulit siya pupunta rito? I can't reach him."
She placed her tongue on her cheek, "that's because he's busy. If you're contacting the company near us, hindi mo talaga siya makikita. He's handling his father's company for the meantime. Anniversary e, you know." Jillian shrugged.
Laur's father was planning to have a vacation on the island, pero mariin na tumanggi si Laur.
"Oh well, just tell him to come and visit us again. I want to talk to him." His father seriously said.
Nagkibit balikat lang si Jillian at tumayo. They're having an overnight stay at Deilan's resort, sasabay siya sa kapatid niya dahil may kailangan pang daanan si Laur. Kinuha lang niya ang bag niya at nagpaalam sa magulang bago nilakad ang pagitan ng bahay ng magulang nila at kapatid niya.
"Hi baby! Miss mo na ba si Tita?" She asked her niece, bumingisngis lang ito at kaagad na nagpakarga sa kanya.
Era looks so cute with her peach one piece swimsuit, panira nga lang ang diaper na lumilitaw.
Hawak niya ang pamangkin habang abala ang mga magulang nito na ayusin ang mga gamit na dadalhin sa sasakyan, at ang ate naman niya at isa isang nila-lock ang mga bintana at pintuan, even checking the outlets. It's better to be safe than sorry, she says.
