Chapter 2- The Missing Locket...

*********************

[Liam's POV]

12 midnight ang usapan namin ng aking girlfriend na Zia, at past 12 na ngayon ngunit wala pa ito.

Ewan ko ba kung bakit dito pa sa napakagulong lugar na ito gustong makipagkita ng dalaga samantalang ang dami namang matitinong restaurant dito sa manila.

Napapailing na lang ako, minsan talaga hindi ko maintindihan ang trip ni Zia. May ugali kase itong kakaiba, gusto nitong subukan lahat ng bagay, at gusto nyang ma-experience lahat.

Tulad ngayon mas pinili nitong hating gabi silang magkita at sa ganitong klaseng lugar pa, napakaingay, napakagulo at masyadong crowded.

Pero isa sa mga dahilan ang pagiging simpleng babae nito kaya nya ito natutunang mahalin----wala itong arte sa katawan, at hindi issue dito ang kayamanan.

"Hindi ko pag aari lahat ng kayamanan meron kami nakiki-share lang kami sa lolo ko, so therefore He's the rich one not me, so why would I waste something that's not even mine to begin with?"

I smiled upon remembering this line from Zia. She's truly one of the most down to earth person i've known in my life. Lalo na kapag kayamanan ang pinag uusapan parati syang humble.

"Liam!.."

Lumingon ako.

It's Zia, ang napakagandang si Zia.

I smiled and kissed her on her cheeks.

"Am I late?" She asked.

"No, you just came right in time" i answered.

"Thank God! I thought i was late, now i'm relieved come on, let's go to my favorite spot" na ang tinutukoy ay ang mesa na malapit sa may tabi ng bintana.

I ordered foods and drinks and then we started chatting.

"Liam, I have something to show you" excited na sabi nito.

"what is it?" I asked.

"Guess what? Lolo Amado gave me a locket, and he said I should give it to you before we get married"

"Kasal? wala pa sa plano natin yan diba?" nagtatakang tanong ko.

" I know, but in time? dun din naman ang punta natin diba?

I just nodded "Anyway, what was so special about the locket"

"Basta, it was so very special for my lolo dahil nanggaling pa ito sa mga ancestors nya and he said matagal ng umiikot ang locket na to through our generations kung saan sa bawat isang pamilya merong kani-kaniyang locket na dapat ibigay sa kanilang mapapangasawa para syang mag ingat nito. And do you know how lucky we are Liam? It was the original one, ito daw yung kauna-unahang locket na ginawa ng ancestors namin and it has a necklace that has been missing for almost 24 years now, but I don't know much about the necklace thing I just heard that my late uncle has it and it's supposed to be given to her fiancée before he died.

I just nodded again. Anyway hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman ko ang tungkol sa locket. According to my mother it was CHARM LOCKET that gave luck to the Caballero's.

By the way I am the current Vice President of the company that owned by Lolo Amado Caballero, which is Zia's grand father and my grand father Quintin Sevilla, The CS Jewelry Inc.

Itinayo ito ng lolo ko at ng lolo ni Zia almost 50 years ago na ang nakalipas, and when lolo Quintin died he asked a favor from me to help Lolo Amado on running that business, and since i love Lolo Quintin so much at importante din sakin yung legacy nya nangako ako na gagawin ko ang makakaya ko para mapatakbo ng maayos ang kumpanya
