SAMANTHA's POV









































Gail: Ma'am Samantha, Don Leon is now ready to see you.

Samantha: Hi Gail, kamusta ang lolo?

Gail: Ok naman po sya from the past few weeks.

Samantha: No signs of anything?

Gail: So far wala naman po.

Samantha: Do you have any idea why he wants to see me?

Gail: Wala po ma'am.

Samantha: Thanks Gail.

Gail: Anytime po.

Samantha: Oh by the way, just call me Samantha okay? Or Sam. Cut the "ma'am" please.

Gail: Eh ma'am kasi po-

Samantha: You are my lolo's secretary not mine. He's your boss not me. Isa pa, hindi ako teacher.

Gail: O-okay po.

I just got back from Cebu and pagkalapag na pagkalapag pa lang ng eroplanong sinasakyan ko, nakatanggap agad ako ng tawag mula sa sekretarya ng lolo ko. He summoned me and I actually don't know why. So I have no choice but to go straight to his mansion after that phone call.

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago ko buksan ang pintuan ng opisina nya. There I saw him sitting on his chair while drinking his favorite whiskey.

Leon: Hi iha, come in.

Parang kailan lang naman kami huling nagkita pero parang ang laki ng pinagbago ng mukha at katawan nya. The man in front of me aged.

Samantha: Hi lolo dad. How are you?

Leon: I'm good, nieta.

Samantha: You don't look fine at all. May sakit ka ba?

Leon: I'm still strong as a bull. Don't worry about me. How was your trip in Cebu?

Samantha: Everything went well, it's tiring but promising.

Leon: Bueno.

Samantha: Is that it? Pinatawag mo lang ba ako para kamustahin?

Leon: I ask you to come because I have something to show you and...

He looked at me in the eye and continued.

Leon: I wanted to ask you something.

Samantha: O-kay?

I frowned at him when he handed me a white envelop. This must be serious.

Samantha: What is this for? Hindi naman siguro ito yung sahod ko, di ba?

I joked. Why do I suddenly feel nervous?

Leon: Open it.

I gulped when I opened the envelope and I was stunned for a few seconds. It was a set of photographs... of me.... and... Sandro... in Cebu.

Samantha: I don't understand. Why do you have this photos? Did you asked someone to tail on me? You're invading my privacy.

Leon: Why are you with that young Marcos?
