Chapter 8

Miguel's PoV

Another week had passed and it's always the same. Wala naman ako masyadong ginagawa dahil naayos ko na ang dapat ayusin dito sa resort in a month. All I have to do now is to relax and still, manage this resort until Manong Inggo come back.

Sa ngayon, may night swimming ang buong team dito sa resort. They planned it last week after the tour of the Tourism students. The team did their very best to cooperate with the said tour and they deserve to have this night out here in resort.

"Boss Miguel, ditoy ka ni." / "Boss Miguel, dito po kayo." tawag ng isa sa mga chef namin dito sa resort, which is his name is Chef.

"Salamat Chef."

Kauupo ko palang ng maramdaman kong nagvibrate ang phone ko. Pagtingin ko, it was a text from my son.

"Excuse for a while. I have to call someone." paalam ko sa kanila at narinig ko ang reklamo nila. Ngumiti ako saka sumenyas sa kanila na babalik ako.

Pumasok ako sa may lobby para hindi masyadong marinig ang ingay mula sa labas. After I've read my son's message, i dialed his number at agad naman niyang sinagot. He surely missed me so much, so do i.

[Tristan: Hey Dad! How are you?]

"Im fine, son. We are having an outing with the staff here in resort right now. How was your day?"

[Tristan: Wow! Buti ka pa may outing with them. Kailan kaya ako makakapunta diyan? Dad, I want to visit you their. Can I go with Lolo and Mommy Kim?]

"Yes, ofcourse. But not now Tristan, you need to wait until your vacation. Ilang buwan nalang naman yon and then you can come over here and visit me. Ipapasyal din kita sa mga islands dito, It's beautiful in here, I'm sure you will like it in here."

[Tristan: It's unfair Dad. 4 months pa bago ako makapunta diyan. Pwede bang next week nalang?]

"Anong unfair don? 4 months lang hihintayin mo Tristan para makapasyal ka dito. Sandali lang yang 4 months compared sa matagal na panahon mong paghihintay na kahit kailan hanggang paghihintay ka nalang."

[Tristan: Hahahaha. Dad! Hugutero ka na rin gaya ng mga nababasa ko sa facebook? You're awesome, Dad. Saan mo nabasa yan? Kay Marcelo, sa Hugot 101, kay Master Hokage o kay Papa Jack o baka naman kay Kimpoy Feliciano?]

Napakunot noo ako sa pinagsasabi ni Tristan. " Hey kiddo, didn't I tell you not to use that damn facebook?"

[Tristan: Dad, this damn facebook is fun for a boring person. Scroll lang ng scroll tapos like lang ng like and I am also enjoying reading some articles about health conditions, about the news all over the world and stalking your one and only princess, etc.]

Mahabang eksplenasyon niya. Napahawak nalang ako sa batok ko. Wala na akong magagawa sa mga gusto niya. He's growing up and he's brilliant to defend what he knows. Kanino pa ba magmamana yan? Tsk.

"Ok. You know your limits Tristan. Remember that you only have 2 hours to scroll and like whatever you want dibale nandiyan naman si Manang para bantayan ka. Ok then, go to sleep. Bawal magpuyat. Goodnight son. I love you!"

[Goodnight din Daddy Hugutero. I love you!]

I smiled to my self. He's like his Mom, so silly.

Bumalik ako kung nasaan sila at naabutan kong naliligo na ang iba sa pool at ang iba naman ay walang sawang kumakanta pa rin at ang mga chef naman ay walang sawa ding nag-iihaw. Sagana sila sa pagkain dahil sa ibinigay ni Mikomori na malalaking isda. Nagkanya kanya sila ng kontribusyon para dito sa outing.
