02: Going Back

CHAPTER 2

Going Back

PRINCE POV's

TODAY IS OUR flight going back to the Philippines. I'm not excited even though I want to. There's a lot of things happened in that 5 years of staying in States. I become independent and doing my best just for the sake of our company. Sa states ko na-realize na kailangan maging masipag sa lahat ng oras. Akala ko talaga, wala nang pag-asa sa buhay nang bumagsak ang real estate ni Dad. Thanks to me, I have strategies for building the estate in my own ways.

Sa loob ng four years, trabaho at pag-aaral ang inaatupag ko. And now, I'm so grateful. I received a lots of blessings and my view in life, changed.

"Prince, you need to see this one"

Nabigla ako sa sinabi ni Samantha. She puts her laptop on the table between us.

Nasa loob kami ng private plane na pagmamay-ari ko. This plane is the first thing that I bought from the Italy.

"Oh, that's Mr. Burnt. I'm glad they're doing great right now. Just tell him, thank you for the update"

She nodded and began to type on her laptop.

I opened my phone and start to reply to Marky's messages.

Marky knows everything about me. About my struggles and success. Salamat sa kanya dahil, pinayagan niya ako na malaman ko ang ginagawa ni Scarlet. Nasa Pilipinas na pala sila ngayon. Nagkikita kami ni Marky sa states tuwing weekend. And, I kept telling him about Scarlet na isama sa lakad namin. Pero, hindi daw pumapayag si Scarlet.

I know, Scarlet is a busy woman. She's the only child and the only daughter of Imperial. She's their jewel. I'm still wonder kung saan siya nakita ng pamilya niya.

Bago ko lang nakita ang mukha ni Scarlet. And, her eyes was really familiar. Kahit nasa magazines and tv ko lang siya nakikita, her eyes reminds me of someone. Someone na, gusto kong hanapin pagdating namin sa Pilipinas.

Naalala niya kaya yung sinabi ko sa kanya bago ako umalis? Yeah I know, it's been a long years. Pero sana, naalala niya. Dahil tutuparin ko ang sinabi ko.

'Jenny, I'm not the bad person na nakilala mo noon. I've change already. And the reason of my come back is to be with you. Gusto kitang alagaan, at protektahan ulit...'

At sana, pag nagkita tayo, hindi ka nagbago. Ikaw parin ang Jenny na mahinhin, palaban, palangiti, masungit, at palabiro.

Ibinaling ko ulit ang aking isip sa mga mensahe ni Marky. Kakarating lang din nila ngayong araw and invited kami para sa party bukas ng gabi. Well, darating si Chairman Imperial at alam kong napaka-inggrandeng party ang magaganap bukas.

Napatawa ako nang sinabi ni Marky na magkikita-kita kaming lahat na magkaibigan sa bar ni Liam. I said yes. Matagal na ding hindi ako umiinom. Tiyak akong, maraming kwentuhan ang magaganap pagdating namin mamaya.

Eros ang laging tinatawag ng iba sa akin instead of my first name. They find it attractive and cool. I suddenly smiled if someone calls me Eros.

"Kuya! I'm so excited! Nalaman ko kasi na nasa Pilipinas na sina kuya Marky! And they will having a party tomorrow! A masquerade party! We are invited!!" patalon-talon niyang wika bago umupo sa tabi ko.

Lisa dressed like a woman but acted like a child. She's now 20. It's just funny because no one attempts to court her. Well, that's really good. Dahil kung meron man, ako muna ang makakaharap nila.

"Really, Lisa? That's nice!" Samantha clap her hands too.

Sinama na namin sina Samantha kasama ang parents niya. Dahil, yung parents niya ay uuwi ng Cavite. While Samantha, will be my assistant in work. So lucky to have her. Marunong siyang makisabay.
