It has been almost seven weeks since our company started working on the SMC project.

Pagkatapos nang usapan namin that night at ang pagperma ko sa kontrata ay inumpisahan na kaagad ang proyekto. Akala ko nga ay may susunod pang mga meeting together with the SMC board pero wala na, at mabuti kung ganoon.

On that night, I was planning to revoke my signature on the contract because I was going to decline the project, pero nakakahiya sa mga naging kliyente ko na kasama sa board at gustong gusto rin na YCMC engineers mismo ang hahawak sa proyekto.

And after that night. That was the last time I saw him.

Did he really intend to avoid crossing paths with me?

I think so.

He would get angrier with me if I were to pester him again and ask for forgiveness.

Kung ayaw niya na talagang tanggapin ang paghihingi ko ng tawad. Be it, pagod na rin naman ako. Tumatak sa akin lahat ng binitawan niyang salita.

I'm trying to understand him kasi galit siya. Na nasabi niya lang 'yon dahil galit na galit siya but realizing na sa simula pa lang na nagtagpo kami ulit doon sa lamay ng ama ko, pinagsasalitaan niya na ako. And I remember every word he said. Lahat nang binitawan niyang salita, tandang tanda ko.

Sa loob ng pitong linggo, pinipilit kong 'wag maalala ang lahat nang sagutan namin. I diverted my focus more sa trabaho at lalong lalo na sa kambal.

And about the kids. I don't know anymore. Syllvester mentioned na gagantihan niya lang ako kung ipipilit ko pa ang sarili ko sa kaniya. And I'm afraid, na baka maging kagaya ko ang mga anak ko. Baka pagbuhatan na rin sila ng kamay ng sarili nilang ama dahil sa kasalanan ko.

Bumuntonghininga ako at nilandas ng mga mata ko ang kung anong nasa harapan ko ngayon.

Kasalukuyan akong nasa jetski na hindi lang din kalayuan ang pwesto ko sa dalampasigan.

Pangatlong bisita ko na'to dito sa site na tatayuan ng MC Ocean Park. Actually, nagsimula kaagad ang proyekto. May hinahabol ata ang may-ari at baka dito sila magpatiwarik ng babae niya.

Bumibisita lang ako sa site baka may reklamo nanaman akong maririnig sa mahal na hari. Na hindi ako magaling, na hanggang mediocrity lang kaya ko, na hanggang dyan lang ako.

I admit marami pa rin naman akong hindi alam sa kompanya pero I'm trying my best na makipagsabayan, no, lamangan ang ibang construction company and of course the consistency of our company's ranking.

My employees and I worked hard to uplift the company through the years. Yes, the initial capital came from my grandfather, but I was the one who made it grow, along with the talented engineers in my company. And some of my employees in the company do not have degrees, but that is not what I seek. I need skilled individuals, people I can teach how to do things.

Kahit papaano ay may ipagmamalaki na ako, kasama na doon ang tatlong anghel ko.

Scarlett, Douglas, and Aumi.

I looked ahead, and from where I was sitting, I could clearly see the entirety of the project that had been started. Araw araw ay may mga masisipag na construction worker na nagtatrabaho rito.

I'm alone here now, Mawi and Dury aren't around. I left the twins with them because they can't be here yet.

Napalingon ako sa bandang may tumatawag sa pangalan ko. I saw that she was holding a megaphone. I took off the sunglasses I was wearing and hooked it on my head.
