2. Our tight spot

"And now he is threatening you." Morris laughed hard in the line. 

"I told you, little Zeb. You can't get away with him. But I don't want you to worry. I can manage my business on my own. I can survive." He winked.

My jaw tightened as I looked at him.

Nakakatawa nga naman ang hitsura niya sa kabilang linya. Iilang kaha ng beer na kaya ang nauubos niya? Mukhang hindi pa rin siya tinatablan ng alcohol.

"I will see what I can do, big Mors."

He laughed and shook his head. "Don't worry. I have other means of finding money. The boys all look good, you know. Enzo's grandfather is out of the country at the moment, and we are operating well."

I sighed. My mind is blank at the moment. Iba nga naman kapag si Papa na ang kumilos, pero kung inaakala niya na matatakot niya ako, ay nagkakamali siya, dahil hindi ako takot sa kanya.

"Worry about yourself, little Zeb, and please take care of Mama."

"Can you stop calling me little Zeb, big Mors? I'm no longer a little boy," I chuckled. 

Although it's fine with me, lately, it feels like I'm sucking on a pacifier every time I hear it from him. What the heck!

"You are still my little Zeb, and I'm proud of what you have become. Don't be like me, okay?"

"I won't. I will visit you soon. Take care, big Mors," I disclosed and ended the call.

Sandali akong napatitig sa matatayog na mga gusali sa syudad na ito. Bukas na ang alis ko pabalik ng Pilipinas at magiging abala na naman ang buhay ko.

I came here for a quick vacation but ended up working the whole time. I did not enjoy much and did not even go to beautiful places. I started to get bored, and I couldn't wait to go back.

I arrived at the international airport too early. As I took the first flight, the plane landed at two o'clock in the morning. Everything around was still shut, and the only crowds were passengers like me.

Nido, who worked in my company picked me up. Siya lang din ang tanging mauutusan ko, dahil siya lang naman ang available sa lahat ng mga empleyado ko.

"Sir, why don't you hire a secretary?" he suggested. Maliban kasi na siya ang nauutusan ko, ay minsan nagiging driver ko na siya.

"Bakit? Pagod ka na ba?" Bahagyang ngisi ko. Inayos ko ang suot na sunnies at isinandal ang ulo ko sa upuan.

"No. H-Hindi naman, Sir. Pero ikakasal na ako sa susunod na buwan, Sir."

Tumango ako at pinikit ko na ang mga mata. Itinaas ko lang ang kanang kamay at nag-approve sign sa kanya.

I guess it's time to think about it. The last time I had a secretary was two years ago, and right after she left. I never had another one.

It's hard to get one that matches my standard. Hindi sila nagtatagal sa akin, at kadalasan ay isang linggo lang. Inililipat ko agad sila sa ibang division, dahil hindi ko gusto ang mga performances nila.

"Let me know what your qualifications are, sir. I will find you the best one."

I chuckled while my eyes were shut. "Yeah? Then, I want the one who could do everything."

"Everything, sir?"

"Yes. Everything, Nids."

"Can you elaborate, sir?"
