CHAPTER 7

"Neia!"

"You look stunning in what you're wearing. It makes me so happy to see you in this situation." Naka ngiti kong pag pupuri sa kanya dahil nag mumuka syang professional sa suot nya at lagi syang mag mumukang professional kung ganyan lagi nyang susuotin.

Hmm... I wonder if Bluebell is already here, anong oras kaya pumunta ang batang yun. "Thank you, Neia. I read your letter earlier, and thank you also for the things you bought for me. I promise I'll do my best working for you."

Naka yuko nyang sabi sa akin na agad ko rin naman kinontra, duh! Hindi ko naman ugaling kausapin ako nang tao na dapat naka yuko, pero kung usapan beg ay sa mga taong deserving lang ang galit ko.

"Don't bow in front of me because I'm not asking you to, and don't make it a habit. Especially don't bow when you're apologizing to me, or for anything else."

Tumayo sya nang maayos bago sumagot sa akin ng seryoso "Yes, Neia, Bluebell arrived early as well and introduced herself to me as my partner."

Good, Gladz, that's what I want. Don't bow in front of me or anyone else. Don't let people belittle you or walk all over you. "Yeah! I called her last night because I want her to be your secretary. You both have the same goals, as long as you both help each other."

"Yes, Neia. She is a beautiful, young, and kind woman, and I want to thank you for helping me and my son, my lady Livinghell." Muntikan na akong mapa ngiwi dahil sa sobrang galang na ibinibigay sa akin ni Gladz, well deserve ni Livinghell  ito kahit na maging mabait pa sila.

"I'll repeat what I said, stop saying thank you. Just focus on the bright future that awaits you and your son."

"No, Neia, I will thank you as much as I want. If it weren't for you..." Yumuko ulit sya sa harap ko at huminga ng malalim bago hirap na tumingin sa akin habang lumunok nang sariling laway bago ulit mag salita "M—Most likely, my son... Luca would no longer be here, a—and I would have lost a companion again... and be alone on the streets."

Hinawakan ko ang balikat nya para haplusin. Sa mga ganitong bagay na ganito talaga ang hindi ko gustong gawin, dahil hindi ko kaya at ayaw ko, kase meron akong sariling lakas at tapang so hindi ko kailangan ng comfort ng iba.

"That's why you're here now, for your future. You can thank me later when you've built something for yourself." Aniya na ikina tango nya. Good, muka naman nag kaintindihan kami naka-kapagod kasi pag ganitong topic lalong lalo na hindi ako mahilig maging mabait.

"Ok–" Hindi na natapos ang balak sabihin ni Gladz ng biglang bumukas ang pinto sa harap namin at nakangiting sumalubong sa amin sabay sinigaw ang pangalan ko.

"My Lady Hellish!" Yup! It's Bluebell, ang batang hindi yata na uubusan ng sigla, tinignan ko lang sya ng bored pero ang tapang din ng batang ito dahil may lakas nang loob tumalon papunta sa akin para mayakap ako.

Tumalon sya na parang batang gustong mag-pakarga sa nanay, ganon mismo ginawa nya. Naka pulupot sa akin ang dalawang binti na akala nya naman limang taong gulang sya, humarap ito sakin ng naka nguso na para bang hindi ko sinunod na bilhan sya ng barbie sa tabi-tabi. "Lady Hellish, why are you only arriving now? I wanted to hug you last night, but kuya Liam said it wasn't going to happen."
