(Jayson's POV)
"I'm sorry , but I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now. I'll be out of the city for a while. Take care."
A voice mail. That's the most I can do for Yuni. I can imagine how angry she will be upon hearing my message. Poor Roma, siya na naman ang mapag-bubuntonan ng galit ni Yuni.
But if I'll talk to her it will just end up to me-hands-up in defeat. Not that I want a fight. Its just that she needs to think about what she did. The consequences of her actions.
Scheduling the wedding next year was all her plan. Simply, because of the projects she's still working with. And all of a sudden she'll be announcing this change without even consulting me.
Plus having an argument with her won't solve the problem. We will never have a descent conversation. I'll just talk to her when all the drama subsides.
With all this things going on a dramatic/chaotic conversation is the last thing I need.
Whats best for me now is someone descent to talk. I'm heading to Pampanga. At least there I can breath a bit. Tutulong na lang ako kay kuya Ruben. Harvest na bukas at malamang mamayang gabi dadating si Tito Anton. That's what he always do. I'll get some relaxing time. Even just for a day.
Although, he didn't call me today. He usually reminds me about the harvest two days before. Which, yearly ko naman nang nasa schedule. My secretary knew about it. No meeting, no business. November 18. The date! "All rights reserved."
Baby's birthday.
It's like I'm also celebrating it with her. Though it's really weird that Tito Anton choose to be in the harvest than to stay in their place celebrating her daughter's birthday. Dapat magkakasama sila.
Pero, Justine told me that Baby is here in Manila. Baka sabay-sabay silang lumuluwas tapos naiiwan sina Tita with Baby.
This harvest is a tradition mula ng pinanganak si Baby kaya siguro ayaw ma miss ni Toto ang date.
I wonder kung nag bago ba ang mukha niya. . .
Which makes me remember the girl I saw in Batangas. Tama! Hindi kaya... Or it was just hallucinations? The mystery behind Juan's identity and me missing Baby all mixed up. Siguro dala nga lang yun ng pagiging paranoid ko minsan.
I've seen Leila's photo kahit nina ate Luisa and ate Lucy halos hindi nagbago ang mga mukha nila. But Baby's not even one. I tried looking in social media sites pero wala akong mahanap.
Kahit picture sa bahay nila wala. Yun at yun parin ang mga pictures doon. Siguro kung naakasama si Tita Betty may mga bagong pictures. Pareho kasi sila ni Baby na mahilig kumuha ng litrato. Unlike Tito, plants lang ang hobby just like Mommy.
Pero kahit ganoon okay na din. Tito Anton is the most compassionate and accommodating person I ever known. I can talk to him all day. All sort of things. From the smallest , insignificant to the most complicated one.
My failures, disappointments, success , love life, business. He will listen and won't judge you. Even better than my parents. Masyado kasing conservative and straight ang parents ko. Ewan.
Sa kanya ko din kinukwento ang mga plano ko sa negosyo even basketball tactics. And he'll give me the best advices and strategies.
Pati na nga ang tungkol kay Miss N. Na kwento ko din sa kanya. Nabatukan pa nga ako. Yun na yata ang pinaka malakas na batok ni Tito sakin. Nahiwalay ata ang ulo ko sa katawan ko sa lakas. (I'm exaggerating) pero masakit talaga.
Note: he won't say something bad if I was stupid. Babatukan lang niya ako.. Kakaiba din ang tatay ni Baby. But I love Tito Anton. Super!
But as always he got his simple yet reasonable comments after. Sabi niya, mahirap daw hanapin ang taong ayaw magpahanap. Darating din daw ang araw na makikilala ko na si Miss N. And it'll be special.
