Somewhere In Batangas (Isla Verde #1)

Chapter 39

Chapter 39

"Papasok ka ba ngayon?" tanong ni Tita Yoli. Iniangat niya ang tingin niya sa akin bago sumimsim muli sa tasa ng kanyang kape.

Dinampot ko ang aking bag at isinampay na sa aking balikat. "Opo, marami pong kailangang tapusin ngayon,"

Napatango-tango si Tita Yoli. She's only wearing her night clothes so I guess, she's going to take this day off.

"Okay, then. I'll just bother you next time," saad niya at humalik na sa aking pisngi.

Ngumiti ako at tuluyan nang nagpaalam sa kanya. I drive the Subaru by myself. Matilda was on the lounge everyday to fetch me. Pagkarating sa opisina'y ipapakita na niya sa'kin ang schedule ko sa araw na iyon.

"You can go now," saad ko kay Matilda. Tumango naman siya at lumabas na sa aking opisina.

I review all the documents and the upcoming proposals. For the past months, Silva is doing better. Our company grew a huge connections with other big companies in business industry even within the short period of time. Renovation and innovation were perfectly done.

I closed the last envelope I'll review for today. Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko at pansamantalang sumandal sa aking swivel chair. I put my pen down. Habang nakapikit ay pinaglalaruan ko ito sa aking lamesa.

It's been a month since the accident happened. It's been a month since the rescuer stopped the search for the other passengers of the ferry. It's been a month since I left Batangas.

Wala pa rin kaming balita kay Seo. I concluded it, that he can't really remember anything from his past that's why he don't know how to go back and where he will go back.

Maybe he's temporarily living somewhere near the island using another name now given by the people who helped him.

They said that someone who suffers from a traumatic head injury that causes an amnesia shouldn't be force to remember. It will trigger their memories and if unluckily, there will be a chance that it will not come back anymore. The professionals said that they should retrieve their memories little by litte and it takes time.

It takes time but I am always willing to wait until the right time comes.

But I wanted to see him, even he can't remember me. I just wanted to know if he's okay. I badly wanted to see him because I missed him so much.

"Good job, the meeting is done." huling sabi ko matapos ay tumayo na at nauna nang maglakad paalis sa meeting room.

Sumunod sa akin si Matilda patungo sa aking opisina. Iniabot niya sa akin ang mga dokumentong kailangan ko pang ireview.

"How's the exporting?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Everything is on fine, Miss President," saad niya. Tumango ako at inatasan na siyang lumabas.

I review tons of documents again before I call this day. Nag-inat ako bago tuluyang nagligpit ng gamit.

"Let's eat," aya ni Tita Yoli. Aniya'y katatapos niya lamang magtanim ng bulaklak sa hardin noong dumating ako.

The long day was finally over. I'll sleep and then repeat the routine. That's how my life goes for the past month.

Gumising ako nang bago pa magliwanag upang makapasok sa office ng mas maaga dahil maraming nakatambak na gawain. The extra hardwork is a must for the approaching foundation day of the company.

I took a shower and put on my typical office attire. A black turtle neck top, a white blazer and a white slacks. Itinali ko ang buhok kong nakalugay. I let my curls sway on a ponytail hair-do. After putting a light make up ay umalis na ako at tuluyan nang nagdrive paalis ng bahay.
