“ Owemji! Today is the day, Madam CMO Hope Dorothea Dawn Villanueva! Ang ganda mo, Madam!”
“ Really? I look good?”
“ No, Madam. You look perfect!”
I'm wearing a royal blue fitted gown today, off-shoulder so my cleavage is a bit visible. The hairstylist also did a brush-up on my hair since nanghihinayang daw sila na hindi makita ang maganda at makinis kong likod. It’s funny, right? And of course, paired with my royal blue gown is black feathered mask with a touch of royal blue glitters.
I’m wearing silver jewelry with beautiful blue diamond pendants paired with stiletto heels.
Nag picture- picture muna kami sa loob ng bahay bago ako sumakay ng kotse— si Gilbert nga pala ang driver namin ngayon ni Raymond.
He insisted dahil gusto niya raw bumawi dahil hindi niya na ako nahahatid sa trabaho.
It really is different when you have a girlfriend, isn’t it? Mas naging gentleman na rin siya ngayon. I’m so happy for him, natagpuan niya na ang babaeng deserve ang pagmamahal at efforts niya.
“ Are you planning to go home this Christmas, Hope? I’m sure pwede ka nang umuwi ngayong taon.”
“ I'm not sure. Maybe next year, or possibly earlier — before Christmas. Mrs. Brown mentioned we’re expanding to nearby countries, so it depends if the Philippines is one of the first countries for our new branch rollout. At kung mapapakiusapan ko man si Mrs. Brown, I’ll stay for two weeks before heading back here to America.”
“ Woah. I guess that’s good news kahit alam kong mahihirapan ka sa new position mo ngayon.”
“ You should come back to the company, Gil. Sayang ang opportunities. Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi niyan sa’kin.”
“ You need that job more than I do, Hope. I’m happy for you.”
Sabay kaming pumasok sa company, but after two years, he resigned and chose a job he really wanted. I couldn’t blame him, dahil halos buong buhay niya ay sina Tita Georgina na ang nagdedesiyon para sakaniya and it’s great that they’re finally letting him make his own choices now. That’s why I’m so proud of him. Still, I have to admit, I’m a bit wistful about it.
“ By the way, alam na nina Tito at Tita na uuwi ka?”
“ No. Ayoko muna sakanilang ipaalam. I want to surprise them. Ikaw? Uuwi ka ba?”
“ Sadly...no. I’ll be celebrating Christmas with Sophia.” his girlfriend..
“ Good to hear that. Kailan ba ang kasal niyo?”
“ Wala pa. Hope, two years pa lang kami ni, Sophia.”
“ So balak mo pang patagalin?”
“ I-I don’t know. Maybe kapag alam kong ready na kaming dalawa— siguro mag p-propose na ako sakaniya. Stop rushing us, Hope. Maghanap-hanap ka na rin. Ikaw nga dapat itong maunang ikasal sa’ting dalawa.”
His words left me speechless for a moment.
“ Hope, are you okay?”
“ H-huh? Y-yeah...may naalala lang.”
“ Mr. Blue eyes?”
“ Stop it, Gil.”
“ Owemji! Alam mo rin pala ang tungkol kay Mr. Blue eyes?! Gosh! Na-cu-curious tuloy ako kung bakit sobrang hirap niyang kalimutan.”
“ Let’s just say that blue eyes were her greatest love...I’ve seen how much they love each other. ”
“ That’s why mas naniniwala talaga ako sa greatest love never di*s kesa sa first love never di*s e. At isa pa si Madam sa magpapatunay!”
