CHAPTER 5

Montesalves

I received an email two days ago from MS Corporation telling me that I can start to work on Monday. I was happy because of it.

I can now experience to work and I'm kinda excited. I don't know that working during vacation can be this exciting. I didn't experience working to earn money kasi my family has the money naman.

My family have a business to manage. Dad own a company and resort that my late grandfather gave him, his last will stated that Dad will have it and the 400 hectares lot in Baggao, where my grandmother's and dad hometown. They didn't know that he bought a land for him not until the family lawyer read his will.

My dad has a older brother which is kuya Trais father. He was the legal child of Demetrio Montel. My father once called the bastard. He is an illegitimate child but didn't feel like one because his father doesn't made him feel like an outcast or a bastard. That's the reason why Dad didn't hesitate to marry my mom— the person who stand as my mother for two decades.

Tito Diosdado had the remaining wealth of my grandfather. The Montel's Grocery, the villa, the 3-star hotel located in Metro Manila and the Montel's Corporation .

Although, I can say that my family have the money but we're not that type of family that known by everyone. We're just in the middle class I guess. Not poor and not that rich, sakto lang.

Unlike the Montesalves, their surname really speaks power and wealth. That type of family that just a one word from them, it will reach to the thousands of people already.

Because of my curiosity in the past days,  I tried to ask Dad about them and told me what he knew.

I was right, I've heard their surname a multiple times already. Hindi ko lang pinagtuunan ng pansin. They are really billionaires.

I tried to browse on my laptop about their background specially the serious one, Hasher.

I bit my lower lip as I read something about him.

A man with principles.

Eng. Hasher Mike Montesalves. 27.

A Business Tycoon, a Civil Engineer and a professor in United States.

Normally it takes years to achieve this milestone but he just took it for few years. He's young but he already made this far.

He have the wealth, the physical
appearance that no one can decline, the talent and the brain.

I'm scrolling until I saw a video where he was interviewed, the video was posted online one month ago and it reached 18.2 Million views.  Kumunot ang noo ko rito. Daig pa ang artista sa daming views a.

I played the video and watch it. He was sitting in a swivel chair  while the reporters are asking one by one. He answered them seriously and as I expected from his presence, his response is direct to the point and simple. He was interviewed about his life abroad and how he managed to achieve his dream.

So he live abroad?

Pinalobo ko ang pisngi ko. What can this Montesalves can't do?

I waste my time searching about him and his cousins. They indeed rich as hell.

Tumigil lang ako kaka-search nang kumalam ang sikmura ko.

Napailing ako at napagdesisyonan kong bumaba na para kumain. Hindi na ako nag abalang magsuot ng bra, hindi naman masyadong pansin. Nandito lang naman ako sa bahay and I'm comfortable without it.
