Chasing Dreams (Book 2)

Twenty Four

LiZA's POV

Sandro: Samantha, so this is my mom and dad. Then there's Simon and Vinny, my brothers. I bet you know them already.

Samantha: Nice to meet you po.

We were in the study room, resting after a not so long celebration of my birthday. And this girl in front of us is nothing but a fine lady. She looks shy and kind. I bet she's nervous based on her gestures, she was holding the edge of her dress and playing her fingers.

Bong: Why did you brought her here son? It's already late. Hindi mo pa ba sya ihahatid sa bahay nila?

She bit her lower lip like she was trying to stop herself from crying.

Liza: What's the matter, Iha? Are you alright?

She just nodded and glanced at Sandro. My son also looked at her like they were trying to communicate at each other by just looking at each other's eyes. Bong turned at her and asked:

Bong: Are you pregnant with my son's child?

Samantha/Sandro/Simon/Vinny: What?!

I can't help but to laugh and shook my head. They all answered in chorus.

Sandro: Pops?! Where did that idea came from?

Bong: Well. Uh? Can't you see yourselves? You're glancing at each other na para bang may gusto kayo sabihin samin pero hindi nyo maamin. So I thought she was pregnant.

Sandro: It's just I don't know where to start. And for the record she is not pregnant, okay?!

Liza: Spill it, son.

Sandro: Fine.

So Sandro started to tell us about what happened to Samantha last year and how they met. From how he found this girl in Ilocos, took care of her at the hospital, then saw each other again after three months. She was in coma for a year and she had amnesia. What a poor girl. Maybe her parents are going crazy looking for her.

Sandro: I am asking for your permission...... if........ if she could stay here at our house at least for now until her memories came back?

Bong: I'm fine with it. You should ask your mom.

Liza: That's actually not a problem with us since we don't normally stay here. But how can she remember anything if she will just stay inside the house?

Sandro: I actually asked her to work with me. She will be my secretary slash personal assistant.

Liza: And Yeye?

Sandro: She said she wants to go on a vacation for a while. So there.

Liza: And you will be fetching her here in Makati from BGC?

Sandro: Uhmm. No. I will stay here, too.

Hmmm. There must be something with this girl. The fact that she caught my son's attention and Sandro is willing to help her and go this far.

Liza: Alright, then. So it's decided.

Sandro: Thanks dad! Thanks mom!

We were surprised when Samantha stood up and bowed her head.

Samantha: Thank you po!

Bong: Oh you're welcome!

Liza: You're welcome. Can you guys leave us two?
