WITH HIM PART 19
He was driving and I was sitting beside him. Nasa likod namin si Auntie Lorie, she was very quiet.
"Auntie Bakit po hindi mo kasama ang BF mo." I asked her.
Pinandilatan ako ni Brett.
"Ayaw naman nilang makita 'yon. At saka I'm trying to get away from him. Tiningnan ko kung ano ang gagawin niya," she answered softly. I can see her tapping the screen of her phone.
"Bakit naman po you are trying to get away from him?"
"Napag-isip isip ko kasi na tama 'yong mga sinabi mo last time."
"Hindi naman porke tama ako ay iiwasan mo na siya. Just tell him to get back to his job. And see how responsible he is. Baka 'yon ang rason, Auntie, kaya hindi siya nagustuhan nina Tita Emma." I was quite certain about Brett's mom. "Bakit naman po ako, mukhang okay naman sa kanila." I saw Brett smiled. "Eh, 'di hamak na mas mahirap ang trabaho ng MMDA kaysa sa akin."
"Gem, manager ka sa office ninyo." Si Auntie Lorie ulit.
"Wala po sa posisyon iyan Auntie. Nasa pagsisikap at responsibilidad." I adjusted to my seat and face her. "Kung mahal ka niya kahit hirap na hirap siya sa buhay, pipilitin niyang umangat para magtagpo ang estado ninyo, kahit paunti-unti.
And he would be proud to work hard at ilibre ka kahit sa Mcdonalds lang kasi alam niyang pinaghirapan niya 'yong ginagamit niya para sa iyo. And you will be proud of him. Let him show you how much he loves you."
Ngumiti si Auntie. She was getting my point.
"Hindi ako maka-relate," sabad ni Brett.
I looked at him. "Bakit ikaw, may negosyo ang papa mo at may negosyo ka. But you still opted to work in our company. Kahit VP ka doon, empleyado ka pa din. You stay at work even after seven PM almost daily while all the other VPs go home at four in the afternoon.
Bakit? Kasi ayaw mong iutos ang trabaho sa iba. Dahil alam mo na walang puwedeng gumawa no'n the way you do. That's called responsibility."
He ruffled my hair and smiled. "Ang dami mong alam!"
