My Summer Love Story

Prologue

"I never expected this Tacky" I said to my secretary. He was an idiot to take care of my aunt's request about me going to a blind date. All I though is magd-dinner lang kami ni Tacky and all.

"Happy, just try to consider it, hindi ka naman maglalabas ng pera habang nakikipag-blind date ka e" He said.

"Are you sure of that? What about the fee in this hotel's restaurant, the fuel I used to go here, my time!!!" I said angrily. "Don't you think it's time for you to give her up?"

I gave her up, 5 years ago.

I silently walk out from Tacky's sight. I don't like these types of date. Para akong binibenta sa palengke.

I drove my car from the hotel to the office. It's better for me to work like a dog than to sit there talking non-sense to some girl I didn't know.

"Pres, akala ko may date ka?" Tanong ni Andy. "Wala. Hindi date yun kundi kainan"

"Ey, dapat nagdala ka man lang ng handa nila" I just smiled at what he said. Andy is such a jokester.

I sat on my desk. Thinking what work should I do. But I don't see any. All I see was pile of papers, the papers I reviewed this morning.

I opened my laptop, I just need some stress reliever. So I opened my laptop to watch some dramas.

Dramas? Dramas are great. It's my living bread.

I'm a president of a media company. One of the finest in the country. It's the company my grandfather started passed to my father and unfortunately passed onto me. This inheritance is the reason, the reason why I like dramas.

"Pres, kape?" I nodded to Andy. Gabi na kaya wala ng iba pang tao magaalok sakin bukod kay Andy.

He brought a cup of coffee, "thanks" I utter those word. But he's looking so serious. Then I ask him why. "Pres, yung kapatid ko kasi, nasa kulungan" I was startled at first. It's unusual. Ah hindi, hindi unusual, everyone can come to jail. Even me.

"Then? C.A ba? Ask Tacky tomorrow" I said.

"Hindi po pres, kailangan niya ng guardian sa kulungan." I'm not getting what he's saying.

"Pres, baka pwedeng ikaw ang pumunta?" He asked me hastily, and it's really shocking, why me?

"Bakit ako? Hindi naman ako ang kapatid niya?" I asked.

"Pres, sisantihen mo na ko pres, sorry talaga!! Hindi ko alam na dun niya gagamitin yun" Again, I'm not getting what he's saying. "Andy, why don't you explain everything to me, I'm confused"

"Sir, di ba nanakaw yung isang van na ginagamit sa shooting sa Marikina? Yung ni-report niyo sa pulis kahapon."

"Then?" My patience was decreasing.

"K...kapatid ko po ang kumuha pres. Sorry pres, aalis na po ako sa trabaho pres. Wag niyo lang po ipakulong kapatid ko. Pres, may pamilya pong nagaantay sakanya."

"What are you saying just now? Andy. That car was a company car. How can you...."

Wait, what was the relation of that incident to me? Ah. I was the owner of that damn car.

I just grabbed my car keys and walk towards the door to go out.

"Radio someone who's in the security room to go to your post, you're going with me" He nodded. And then used his radio.

I was pissed and excited at the same time. It was a strange feeling. I just wish that it wasn't a big issue.

"Pres, sorry talaga!" Andy kept on saying sorry. The whole drive, that's what he's saying. Ugh. It's pissing me off.

"Kayo ho ba ang may ari ng ari ng ### 1xxx" Pulis

"Yes I am" I gave them my calling card and ID. "One of my employees reported it here, what should I do?" I asked. Because I don't know. Ganun talaga dapat. Nagtatanong kapag walang alam.

They escorted me to the tables, where Andy and his younger? Ah no, older brother seated, handcuff and all.

"Sabi ko, wag mong gawin yun. Ano ka ba naman kuya. Pano yan wala na kong trabaho, pano ko pa bubuhayin pamilya mo, tapos makukulong ka pa"

"Baka pwede namang..." I coughed. It's time for me to butt in.

"Sir, yung sintensiya niya 6 months to 1 year. Since kusa niyang binalik ang kotse niyo nung nakita niya ang posting ng pulis" Pulis.

"Hindi nga kasi ako yun" I overheard from the other table.

"If I'm that one you're saying, wala akong bigote ano ka ba naman, atska may girlfriend na ko. Mas maganda pa sayo"

Tsk. Problems are everywhere.

"Jail him." I said. "I'm going to have an angreement with the guardian first."

Malungkot na tumayo yung kapatid ni Andy mula sa kinakaupuan niya. Si Andy naman, naiiyak. What can I do? His younger brother is the one who's responsible for this.

"Pres, sorry po talaga. Alam ko pong mali yung ginagawa ng kapatid ko. Ako na po ang aalis sa trabaho pres. Salamat po sa lahat ng tulong niyo sa akin" Andy.

"Paano yung pamilya ng kapatid mo? 1 year din siyang mawawala, paano mo sila papakainin. Hindi mo ba iniisip yun? Pinapaalis na ba kita sa trabaho? What if I don't accept your improptu resignation.."

He's in awe, see I'm a cool boss too. "Sir..."

"Where's the papers I need to sign?" I asked the police.

Andy sit next to me.

The ramble in the back table was terrible. Hmp. It's not I'm gathering gossips, pero may tenga kasi ako kaya naririnig ko.

Then.. Then I saw her.

She's walking towards my direction. This isn't right. Is this why I'm feeling excited? Did my.. F*vk

I stand up in shocked. I think she was shocked too. I don't know how my face looks like. But, damn this isn't the right timing.

"How can you do this to me? I loved you enough para hindi ka mambabae, is my I love you not enough?" She shouted.

"Wait what?" I answered.

I answered because she was looking at me. She's looking in my eyes and I'm looking at her.

"Hindi ako nambabae, and you don't love me enough..."

She walked passed by me, passed by me, I felt it slowly, she's walking in a slow motion. Passing me.

I looked into my back where she walked in. It wasn't me she's talking to. I just realized it. I just assumed...
