CHAPTER FIFTEEN

THEY expected it already--that the founder of Solandis will join them on their online meeting. It's always a pleasure for them to talk to Visha Balearic. She's such an inspiration.

Valeska's attention is on the screen of the MacBook that Rashid bought for her. Habang ang kasintahan naman ay ang nag-a-asikaso ng meryenda nila. Hindi ito umalis para magtrabaho. Pupunta sana sila sa Zambales kaya lang ay biglaan ang meeting nilang magkakaibigan.

"As for your request about wearing a masquerade, that's a good idea. I'm really fine with that. After all, your privacy is mattered the most. I want you girls to be comfortable while on the stage, presenting your artworks to our guests, and also telling them a bit of your experiences in Solandis; it's either the reason why you got there or how you got out after, whatever you want to share them. It's up to all of you."

"Thank you, Tita Visha, for granting our request," Valeska said with a smile.

"You're welcome, dear."

"By the way, Tita, is there a dress code for us?" Freja asked.

"Yes. That's why I joined this online meeting. I want you girls to wear red evening gown. That's your dress code."

"What a powerful color for a delicate flowers."

Visha chuckled and nodded her head. "I also want to tell you girls that our main arts in the auction are the arts that you made during your stay in Solandis. You're free to choose which one you want to present on the stage."

"Really? Kami lang po talaga?" Ivanka was amazed.

Silang magkakaibigan din naman ay namamangha na malaman na ang art or painting lang nila ang binigyan ng pagkakataon na ilagay sa auction.

"Yes, hija. So, I suggest, pick the best art that you think is deserving to be auctioned. The rest of your arts and the other girls crafts will be on the other room where Solandis' art gallery is located. People in the auction can go there before or after. To check the arts, and buy a piece if they want."

It was really a good thing that they are able to talk with Visha Balearic. Nalaman nila ang iba pang mahahalagang detalye na magaganap sa auction. Pati na rin ang paglalagay ng ibang arts or painting sa isa pang silid para ibenta sa mga tao at bisita.

Rashid opened the door of their bedroom. He carefully put the tray at the table near her. There's a cucumber juice, sliced of cake and some chips for her.

She smiled warmly at him. "Thank you," she mouthed.

He just nods but didn't say anything. Pansamantala siyang tinignan at lumabas din agad.

She really liked it so much that he never bothered her when she was working or when she have an online meeting. He respects her time and privacy so much. When it seemed like she couldn't do the same for him. She likes to disturb him, to snuggled or cuddled him when he's too busy in front of his MacBook. Because she's such an attention seeker.

"I'll tell Zehra to take a photo of your arts in Solandis and have them emailed to all of you. You'll tell her what piece is the one you want to present on the auction. Do you understand, girls?"

"Understood, Tita." It was Rivka.

"Nasa Solandis po si Zehra ngayon?"

Visha gave them a motherly smile. "Oo. She just started to understand what is Solandis about."

"That's good for Zehra."

"She gave me a hard time but I'm happy that she finally understood me and why I can't just leave Solandis."
