Sa dami ng ipapamana sa akin ni Inay at Itay utang pa. Paano ko ba mababayaran lahat ng ito kung high school graduate lang ako. Gustuhin ko man mag-aral, mas uunahin ko ng bayaran lahat muna ang utang namin. Gusto ko man ibenta itong lupain namin nakasangla naman. Isasangla na lang kasi nila Inay hindi pa sa malaking halaga. Sayang naman ito kung maibenta lang ng pinagsanglaan. Pamana pa ito ng kanunununuan ni Itay sa magulang niya. Binigyan ako ni Mr. De Jesus ng isang buwan para mabayaran ang P100,000.00 na pagkakautang nila inay at maibalik sa akin ang titulo ng lupa. Kung hindi babayaran na lang daw ako ng P50,000 para bakantehin ang lupain namin.

I found a perfect gift for my soon-to-be-wife. Our wedding is set next year, so I still have a year for this project to materialize. Mr. de Jesus asked for a month to finalize all the paper works for the land I want to acquire. It was actually a great deal 50M for 5,000 sq. m. beachfront land. He told me I can go anytime to do an ocular, just to be sure that the price he's asking is worthy of the place he is selling. I plan to go this weekend, since I am not busy with work.

I just arrived in the place where Mr. de Jesus and I will meet but unfortunately he's still not here. I really hate it when people make me wait and waste my time, if not because of this beautiful scenery in front of me I will be pissed and he wouldn't like me when I am. I am lost in this picturesque view, when an innocent-looking woman caught my eye. She is pretty with a body, young girls will die for, but her dress ruined all the good images that could run through an adult man's head. She's too old-fashioned. I only got a glimpse of that body because of her wet dress. I was just staring at her when I realized she's talking to me.

Excuse me? I asked her.

Kuya, private property po bawal po kayo dito, she said too politely.

I was here to meet Mr. de Jesus. I'm actually doing an ocular because I'm planning to buy this land, I said staring at her beautiful face.

Kuya, pwede bang magtagalog ka? Hindi ko po kasi kayo masyado maintindihan. Masyadong malalim yung english niyo. Naintindihan ko lang bibilhin niyo tong lupa? she asked. Oh she's too cute I can't help but look at her face while she's talking.

Yes, i mean oo. Pinapunta ako ni Mr. de Jesus para tignan yung lugar. Kung gusto ko pwede ko ng bilhin. Paliwanag ko sa kanya.

Ahh. Nagustuhan niyo po ba? Tanong niya sa akin.

Well yeah. What's there not to like? This place is a paradise. I told her.

Kuya pwede bang after one month nyo na bilhin pag hindi ako nakagawa ng paraan para mabayaran kay Mr. de Jesus yung halaga ng pagkakasanla ng magulang ko para sa lupang 'to. malungkot niyang pakiusap.

So, this is your land? I thought this is Mr. de Jesus' land and you're just a care taker, sabi ko.

Opo sinanla po kasi nila inay at itay itong lupa. Ngayon po isang buwan lang ang binigay niya sa akin para makapagbayad ng P100,000.00 kung hindi kailangan ko na daw umalis dahil ibebenta na po. kwento niya sa akin.

Whaaaattt?? 100k for this land? That's so cheap. And he's selling it to me for 50 million? gulat na sabi ko na ikinagulat rin niya.

50 million po? Eh P50,000 lan daw po ang makukuha ko in case maibenta ito. Sabi niya sa akin.

Mr. de Jesus got to be kidding me. Let's make a deal, what's your name again? I asked

Alyssa po, ano pong deal? Tanong nya

Alyssa, i'm Kiefer. i said extending my hand to her. The deal is I will give you 100k para mabayaran mo si Mr. de Jesus and then ibebenta mo sa akin yung lupa na to at any price you want. Offer ko sa kanya.
