Chapter Thirty-Eight

Seven months later...

"Merci beaucoup." Cheska said in French to the housekeeper who had just done cleaning her apartment in France. Nagpapahousekeeping kasi siya every Sunday ng apartment niya. Masyado rin kasi siyang busy sa trabaho niya kaya 'di niya gaanong nalilinis ang kwarto.

She was too busy focusing herself in being a fashion designer at Dolce and Gabanna. At ngayon, katatayo lang din niya ng kanyang own clothing line, C.C. Fashion House. With her own share at her family's corporation, the Torres Finance Corporation, she used it as her own starting capital to start her own.

At ngayon nga, natupad na rin ang pinapangarap niya noong bata pa man—ang magkaroon din ng sariling Fashion House. She also already resigned at the D&G and also thanked Mr. Giovanni Gabanna for helping her out. Malaki rin kasi ang naitulong nito sa kanya, dahil sa D&G, her designs was exposed to various people all over the world—that's why her Fashion House is already recognized immediately at the fashion industry.

"Mother Ches! Kamusta na ang paborito kong friendship sa balat ng lupa?" Bigla namang sumulpot si Luigi sa apartment niya matapos umalis ang housekeeper. Hindi niya tuloy maiwasang matawa. Bigla-bigla na lang kasi itong sumusulpot sa apartment niya ng walang pasabi.

Matapos ang lahat ng mga nangyari, those things that happened to her in the Phil, she went to France and went back to her original life to move on—again. Napag-isipan niyang i-focus na lang ang lahat ng oras niya sa career niya to forget everything. Yes, it was really hard and hurtful for her to do it pero dahil sa kaibigan niya, Luigi helped her in picking the pieces again. She really tried hard to divert her attention—that's why now, she had built up her own clothing line.

Hindi na rin niya maiwasang mapangiti. Siguro, tama lang ang naging desisyon nilang dalawa ni Jack. Maybe they weren't really meant for each other. Siguro, ginawa lang iyon ng Diyos para makita nila mismong dalawa kung ano talaga ang meron para sa kanila sa buhay—Jack to focus on his new and real family while her, on her career and her own clothing line.

But she didn't regret anything of it. She didn't regret marrying Jackson Asenjo and becoming his wife even for just a little time. She didn't regret loving him.

"Parang bahay mo na talaga 'tong apartment ko, ano?" Natatawang sabi niya rito habang inaayos ang mga gamit niya sa office table niya sa loob ng apartment niya. Inisa-isa niya ngayon ang mga mails na natanggap niya sa araw na iyon.

"Naman, sisterette mo kaya ako. Ang pinakamaganda mong sisterette sa balat ng lupa," Madramang tugon nito sa kanya kaya natatawa na naman siya. She really owed Luigi a lot. Kung hindi dahil dito, siguro, depressed na depressed siya ngayon sa nangyayari sa buhay niya. Luigi was always there—like a sibling to her.

"Anong oras mo ba pupuntahan ang shop mo?"

"Mamaya na, pagkatapos nito," She answered and stopped when she saw something strange at the mail she was currently holding. It was a scented envelope. Medyo naguluhan naman siya nang makita iyon at binuksan.

You are cordially invited.

The invitation came from Jane Buenavista and Jackson Asenjo. Kung ganun pala,nanganak na si Jane. Jane already gave birth to Jackson's son which is named, Alexander—and now, it's their son's christening and she is invited. She suddenly remembered when she asked Jack to invite her even at their son's christening. And as what she had read, the invitation was sent to her last week at sa susunod na araw na ang binyag ng anak ng mga ito.
