Leaving Without Saying Goodbye | Glimmer Of Hope #1

Chapter 20

I'm not that happy right now cause I'm tired.

"Hija okay ka lang ba?" Tanong sa akin ni Manang tumingin ako sa kanya at umiling.

"Gusto ko ng matulog." Saad ko at natawa naman siya sa akin.

Kay aga aga gusto ko ng matulog well matagal akong natulog kagabi eh. Dahil may ginawa ako dapat kung pagpuyatan yun. Tapos umuwi ako dito hindi na ako pumunta sa apartment ko.

"Kumain ka muna mukhang puyat na puyat ka talaga." Napa-iling si Manang sa akin.

Kumain ako sa binigay ni Manang na pagkain, pagkatapos ay pumunta na ako sa kwarto para matulog muna saglit.

"Noori!" Tawag ko kay Noori dahil bigla itong lumabas.

Paglabas ko kay nakita ko si Dad kasama si Asil, nakita ko si Noori na lumalapit kay Asil kaya nagtaka naman ako.

Lumuhod si Asil at hinihimas himas ang ulo ni Noori at sayang-saya naman si Noori sa ginawa nito. Bakit lumapit si Noori sa kanya? Hindi naman siya ganoon.

"Bakit lumapit si Noori sa kanya?" Tanong ko sa sarili ko. Bumalik si Noori sa akin at kinarga ko ito at tumingin sa kanya. Ngumiti siya sa akin at ramdam ko ang tibok ng puso ko, ngumiti ako pabalik sa kanya.

Freak what was that? Anyways I need to go out right now I need to go back to the office and to work all those papers. I didn't bring Noori cause I don't want to play with him all day.

"Ma'am you have a meeting with Mr. Sarmiento." Saad ng secretary ko sa akin, tumango naman ako.

Naghanda ako dahil may meeting ako at nilinis ko din ang table ko dahil ang daming nagkalat sa lamesa ko. Lumabas na ako pagkatapos at pumunta sa meeting room. Ayaw kung maghintay ay siya gusto ko mas mauna pa ako kaysa sa kanya.

Pagdating ko doon akala ko wala pang tao but I was stunned cause I saw him sitting there.

"Good Morning Mr. Sarmiento." Bati ko sa kanya. Inangat niya ang ulo niya at ngumiti sa akin.

Freak bakit ba ako biglang kinabahan ako. But I keep my pose ayokong ipakita sa kanya na kinabahan ako.

"Good Morning Ms. Ricaforte." He greeted me back. Sh*t his voice is so beautiful.

Lumapit ako sa kabilang upuan, umupo ako doon at para mag simula na kami sa kung anong pag-uusapan namin.

"Your father said that you are going to build an establishment." He stated and I nodded myself. Forcing myself not to frown I still think about it but my father already said it to him.

I want to build a new building for a lot a stuffs, I want to use it to store the product and put all the products we made. Still I don't know how the building look like, what is the color, what I wanted it to look like inside.

I'm still planning everything, but I still don't know cause I know nothing in that but I have an idea but I don't really want to copy it cause it feels like illegal.

"You still don't have plan right?" He asked and I looked at him and nodded.

"Yeah I don't have...just an idea." I answered, I don't know if this is a meeting of what cause I don't feel like it is. Talking to him casually well that's new to me.

"I'm gonna show you some designs that I choose I hope you'll like it." He smiled to me and handed me a folder.

"Oh thank you." I answered I didn't know about that though.

I open the folder, it's not that thick. I looked at the first page and I was amazed by the architectural design of it. My jaw dropped while looking at all the beautiful designs, how fascinating it is.
