Beyond The Universe

Chapter 36

Kinabukasan.....

Michelle woke up early in the morning as usual. Ang himbing pa ng tulog ni Rhian. Lalo na siguro si Anntonia na late din nagigising. Si Cha naman tulog pa din siguro sa guest room. Paglabas niya ng kwarto napakatahimik pa sa labas. Naisipan niyang pumunta sa kitchen at magtimpla ng coffee niya at pagkatapos tumambay sa garden nila. Pinakawalan niya sa cage mga aso nilang si Lexa at Pluto upang makipaglaro sa mga iyon. Ganoon sila lagi. Nang may biglang nagsalit sa likod niya.

"Ahhemm... Good morning Mich!" Cha greeted her.

"Ohh good morning too Cha! How's your sleep? You want coffee?". She replied to Cha and invited her to have coffee.

"Well, it's good. I had a good rest. Yes Mich, please with cream," tumugon naman ito sa kanya.

"Wait, I'll make your coffee inside. I'll be back Cha." Paalam niya dito saglit at ginawan ito ng kape na may cream. At bumalik sa labas ng garden. Karga nito ang aso niyang si Pluto.

"Here is your coffee madam!" bigay at ngumiting sabi niya rito.

"Maraming salamat po Mich!" masayang pagtanggap nito sa kape. At nagtagalog talaga. "I learned it from one of Pinoy fan who always commented on my posts. Where did you sleep by the way?" sabi nito kasi nakita siguro niyang medyo na shock ako sa pagpapasalamat nito.

"I see you are fast learner Cha that's good. I slept in Rhian's room," sabi niya kay Cha na naka smile.

"Ow, I see... Are you both couple? I mean are you married Mich with Rhian?" asked by Cha.

Nagulat siya sa tanong nito. Pero sinagot niya ng may ngiti sa labi.

"Nope, we are bestfriends Cha. We have a platonic relationship. And she is married to SamV. The father of Baby Bump." She honestly said to Cha to clear any suspicions from Cha's mind.

"Oh now it's more clearer. So you are single and available huh! I envy your relationship with Rhian. I mean I hope to find a friend someone like yours the platonic one.," she said.

"Yeah single and not ready to mingle. How about Anntonia then?" Pabiro niyang sabi dito at napatanong siya kay Cha.

"Ann is much more like a sister in crime for me Mich and mind you I'm a very protective sister," may pilyong ngiti at pananakot nitong saad sa kanya.

"How is Ann in Thailand," tanong ulit niya rito. Gusto niya lang malaman kung anong pinagkakaabalahan ni Anntonia for the past few months.

"She's been workaholic Mich. I mean she worked a lot now since she started to take their business. She had no time to entertain her suitors but I'm glad she spent her time more with her family and sometimes me. You know night outs just to chill ourselves." She said it to her looking me straight in my eyes trying to see my reaction on what she said. So marami palang manliligaw si Anntonia sa Thailand kaso wala itong panahon dahil busy sa trabaho. Medyo masaya siya sa part na iyon dahil single at available then pala si Anntonia sa tinagal ng panahon.

"How about you Mich? How's life in LA? I heard about what happened to your Mom because Ann shared it to me" tanong ni Cha sa kanya. So, nag uupdate din pala si Anntonia sa mga pangyayari sa buhay niya.

"Mom is doing great right now and she recovered well. I'm doing daughter duties to my mother. And my life in LA is just simple. Enjoying and taking care of our ranch there with my brother Abe far from stress and social media people. I owned my time and the activities I do," pahayag niya rito habang inaalala ang mga nagawa niya sa LA.

"You are a good and responsible daughter Mich. You sacrificed a lot for her. That's the best thing you can do for your Mom," seryosong sabi ni Cha sa kanya.
