Chapter 2
Naalimpungatan na lang ako kinabukasan mula sa mahimbing na pagkakatulog nang marinig kong tumutunog ang cellphone ko.
"Hello?" Tamad na sagot ko
"Hello, Cristina this is Hans." Bati nang nasa kabilang linya
"Oh hi sir! What can I do for you?" Agad na sagot ko. Si Sir Hans ang may ari ng kompanyang pinag tatrabahuhan ko, well technically. Anak kasi siya ng may ari and he's the one who helped me in entering their company
"How many time do I have to tell you to stop calling me sir, huh Cristina?" Kinilig ako sa lalim ng boses ni Hans.
"Anyway, I know that you're in the Philippines and I have a project for you." He added
"Uhm really? That's great! I'm just going to stay here for a week and I can go back to England to start the project." I attentively said
"No no. The client is in the Philippines I'll email you the details, I'll book a flight for me, you need a partner." He said. I silently cursed. Mukhang matatagalan pa ang pananatili ko dito
"is there a problem Ina?" He asked
"No sir- oh I mean Hans. So see you in?" I asked
"We'll see each other in a week. I'll just prepare the contract and some of my designs. I'll call you when I get there." He said.
"Anyway, it's better if you find a place to stay for I think a month. This deal is bigger than the usual deal that we had." He added
fuck fuck! A month! Ayoko. Ayoko dito sa Pilipinas!
"O-okay Hans. See you" tanging sambit ko bago tinapos ang tawag na iyon
Tiningnan ko kung anong oras na it's already 10 am at ang alam ko the rehearsals will start at 11 I still have 1 hour to get ready.
"Calyx baby, wake up we need to get ready." Tinapik tapik ko pa ang binti ni Calyx
"Uh i-im still sleepy mom" reklamo niya. Isa sa namana sa akin ni Calyx ay ang pag kahilig sa pagtulog. Lol
"but don't you wanna see your ninang Grace and Sophie?" I asked
"Really mom?? I'm gonna meet them today?" He excitedly said
"Yup! So get up now, eat your breakfast you've been sleeping since we got here baby." Sabi ko sa kanya. Agad naman siyang kumilos at nag simulang kumain
one of my son's good trait is that he can do some things on his own. Maaga siyang natutong asikasuhin ang sarili niya, maybe because my mom taught him to become independent in such a young age. Noong bago pa lang kami sa England at kakapanganak ko pa lang sa kanya ay mommy ko na ang nag asikaso sa anak ko. Habang tinatapos ko ang kurso ko ay mommy at daddy ko ang nag aalaga sa anak ko that's why I'm really thankful at them. Ngayon pa lang ako halos bumabawi sa mga oras na hindi ko nasubaybayan ang anak ko.
"I'll just take a bath Calyx huh. You eat well." I told him. Tumango lang naman siya
matapos kong maligo ay pinaliguan ko na rin ang anak ko at nag ayos na kami.
Mga 11:30 na nang tumawag si Renz para sabihin na nasa labas na siya ng hotel.
"Ninoooong Renz!" Agad na tumakbo palapit si Calyx kay Renz nang makita niya ito
"We're late." I told him
"oh akala ko ba gusto mo ng grand entrance?" Sabi niya habang buhat buhat si Calyx
"Bigla akong kinabahan sa reksyon nila Grace."
"Dapat lang no. Malamang niyan sesermunan ka muna nila bago sabihing namiss ka nila" Natatawa tawang sabi ni Renz
"Ewan ko sayo. Let's go? Calyx come here ninong Renz is going to drive." Sabi ko pagkatapos ay sumakay na rim kami sa kotse
