#55: Missing you

Dave Miguel Calyx

"So this is the new plan for us to limit our competitors. By using this method, we were able to conquer the market."

"By the use of our Filipino's made clothing we can have this fashion show."

"What is your target date if we approve this? And who is your designer?" Mr. Yuki is with us here in the meeting.

"My team were planning to have the fashion show by the end of the month. My designer is no other than my sister Miguelle Del Valle, as I was browsing her profile few days ago, she were able to prove herself at her age of 23. She made her own name globally, and as for me I highly recommend her to be the designer in this incoming show this month."

"She's very busy. I heard there are some incoming events that she'll be organizing?" Wala talaga silang tiwala kay Miguelle.

"It's not a problem Sir, she'll be prioritizing the fashion show for us."

They all nod, my secretary discuss my presentation. And if there are questions raised, I will be the one to answer.

This past few days I feel like I'm alone, I feel that there's something wrong with me. Sa totoo lang pinilit ako ng daddy para pumuntang Europe, I'll be here for 3 months for my trips and schedules for updating the management of the company.

Nagkaron kasi ng loopholes yung mga datas na pinepresent sakin ng manager dito kaya kailangan tutukan. Hindi na rin ako nakapagpaalam kay wifey kung anung nangyari.

Siguro nag aalala na sya sakin kasi ni isang tawag wala akong nabigay. Binibilisan ko na nga yung pag asikaso nitong mga papers na 'to, gustong gusto ko ng umuwi.

"Congratulations Mr. Del Valle, we're okay with the proposal although there are some things that needed to polish but we're good. Congratulations! Let's celebrate?" I nod.

After the meeting, I went directly to my office. It's already noon, pero hindi pa ko gutom, I want to eat home made cookies made by mom and her adobo.

"Hi sir, just wanna give you this." She's referring to the usb I left in the conference room.

"Put it in my table." She did what I say.

"Sir, do you need anything? Lunch? Coffee, juice?"

"I'm all fine. Go ahead and taken your lunch, you must be starving."

She smiled at me and leave my office. How I miss my own and personal secretary. I can't email her, my dad told me.

"Missing someone, son?" Obviously, he's my dad.

I smiled at him, I do miss my wife. I don't know I feel like I need her closer with me. I wanna hear her voice,smell her hair, talk to her, laugh with her craziness.

"Why? Are you sad?"

"I miss my wife."

"I know you do. Its just 3 months so you don't have to worry."

I trust her, I trust her not break any of those rules, although there are no rules to be follow nor commit but we do have the secret that she doesn't want to expose. Sometimes I wonder if she really like to be with me, not just now but forever.
