Our Family's Secrets

Chapter 5: Busy Monday

-Steph-
It's Monday. And back to normal na ang lahat. Krystal is in the office, well nagre rehearse because it's almost time for their group's comeback. Jessica, Kuya and Yvan are all in their offices. Busy with reviving their sales. .3% lang, nagpapanic na agad.

While me, well after that confrontation, well not really. I decided to focus at work. Oras na din siguro para magseryoso ako. Kung si Nichkhun, sa company nila ibinuhos yung oras niya, ako naman ibubuhos ko ang time ko sa pagmo modeling. Besides, this was my life before he came back.

"That's right! More power, Tiffany" sabi akin ng photographer while making poses.
"That's it! Perfect!"

"Thank You, you've work hard" nakangiting sabi ko sa mga staffs lalo na sa photographer after niyang sabihin yun. Hay. After a long day, my shoot is finally done. But oh, hindi pa pala tapos ang schedule ko today.

"August, what's our next schedule?" Tanong ko sa PA ko, I don't want it to sound bad, okay. Secretary nalang nga.

"Ms, you're done for today. Your parents already arrived po so they asked to cancel your remaining schedule para daw makauwi kayo ng maaga for dinner." Oh. So Mom and Dad are back.

"Okay. Ano ba dapat ang next ko?" I asked.

"Meeting po with HK" oh. That meeting.

HK wines wanted me to be their model for a new liquor. Well, actually hindi naman talaga rivals ang mga family namin. It's just that we're both great in business kaya naman naglalaban sa sales. Dad and Tito Anton are actually good buddies.

Pero siyempre, the media knows na may competition talaga. Pero sa amin, wala. In fact, Cherreen and Jessica are close friends! HAHAHA

"Tell them that we'll just re schedule the meeting tomorrow."

I fixed myself and drove home, alone. Though kasama ko yung mga staffs ko kapag may shoot ako, I still want to go home alone. But sometimes, kapag masama ang mood ng CEO, pinapasamahan ako sa mga staffs ko.

"Mom, Dad. Hindi niyo naman sinabi na darating kayo." bati ko sa kanila as soon as I reached home.

"Edi hindi na surprise yun, come. Have a seat Steph." Utos sa akin ni Dad. Oh, they're already at the dining. Ako nalang ang kulang.

"So, how's the shoot?" tanong ni Mom.

"Good. Though it's tiring."

We had some few talks. Mom and Dad are actually based in Korea. Habang sina Tito Jules naman, the Jungs, nasa LA.

"Stephanie, I know you're aware of your age." Sabi ni Dad.

"Of course Dad. Grabe naman kung hindi ko alam." Pabirong sagot ko.

"Then, aware ka na kailangan na namin ng apo." Sagot sa akin ni Dad dahilan para masamid ako, ganun din sina Jessica at Krystal.

"Tito, how can she have a new one eh hindi pa maka move on kay Khun?" Natatawang sabi naman ni Jessica pero pinandilatan ko kaya natahimik.

"Nichkhun? *laughs* I would love to set you in a wedding with him!" Sabi panni Dad dahilan para mas magulat ako at para mas matawa yung mga pinsan ko at si Kuya.

"Nako, Dad. Pano yan, eh moved on na sa kaniya ni Khun?" pangiinis sa akin ni Kuya.

"We'll find a way Leo. So, ano, payag ka ba Steph?" sa sobrang inis ko. Nilapag ko nalang yung spoon and fork sa plate at hindi ako sumagot. Jessica knows I am irritated kaya naman tumigil na din siya sa pangaasar.

"Enough with that. Naiinis na si Tiffany oh. Let's talk about you, Krystal. Kamusta na kayo ni Ace?"

We then talked for random things tapos umakyat na kami to rest. After all, we had a long day at work kaya kailangan ko din ng pahinga no.

"Mahal mo pa ba?" I was surprised when I heard Jessica's voice who just entered my room. Himala. Gising pa.

"I would lie if I'll say no."
"But for him it's over."

"Steph, sometimes kailangan mo talagang mag let go though you don't feel like doing it. Move on. There might be someone else better than him. Baka talagang hindi kayo para sa isa't isa." She said.

"Don't worry. It'll take time. But i'll try. Thanks sa advice, Jess" she hugged me. Good thing I have friends and girl cousins. At least, may napagkukuhanan ako ng advice.

Nichkhun Horvejkul, you'll regret letting go of me.
