"YES Mom. I'll be fine. Stop worrying too much. Opo." I said. I sigh. Trying to control the feelings I've been holding.
"Okay Mom. I have to go too. Yes. Love you too Mom. Bye." Then the call ended. I sigh. I know this is hard for the both of us but I need to do this.
I decided to prepare myself. May interview ako today. I need to be on time. I prepared quick but making sure I'll look presentable. Matapos kong tignan ang sarili ko sa salamin, I went out.
Wala pang 30 minutes pero nasa venue na ako. I'm 30 minutes early but it's on time though.
This is it Eirene. This is the first step. You need to do this. I can do this!
I went inside and walk towards the front desk.
"Good morning. I have an interview with Mr. Madrigal. I'm Eirene Gonzales." Nakangiti kong bati.
"This way Ma'am." As she headed the way. We ride on a lift and stop at the last floor.
"Ma'am Mr. Madrigal's Secretary will just call you." Bilin sakin ng babae. I nod and say thank you bago niya ako iniwan.
I sit down and look around. A full glass wall caught my attention. I walk towards it at napanganga ako sa ganda.
I can see the whole view outside. It's like a miniature of the city because I am on the highest spot. Hindi pa ako nakakarecover sa ganda ng lugar ng may biglang kumaladkad sakin.
"I told you not to wait here."
"I uh-" Naputol ang sasabihin ko ng magsalita siya ulit.
"Someone might see you. We already talked about this."
Huh? Ano daw? Not to wait here? Someone might see me? E dito ako iniwan ng babae sa front desk.
"I uh-"
"Did you pack your things?" He said without looking at me. He was busy on his phone while we're here inside the lift.
Pack what?
"Anyway, you don't need it. We can buy there-no. I prefer you naked."
I blushed. Naked?
"Mr-"
"Silvs, cancel all my appointment. I'll be gone for days. Yes. Just told them I went out of town. Okay thank you." He said and put his phone inside his pocket. The lift opened at saka niya ako hinila ulit.
Hindi na ako makaangal dahil nagsimulang umingay ang paligid. There's a helicopter waiting and the next thing I knew we are now flying.
I was about ask this man but his eyes are closed. He look.. uh tired. Shit.
Kahit naguguluhan sa nangyayari pinilit kong kumalma. I'll make sure this man will explain everything later.
Wala pang 30 minutes pero naramdaman kong pababa na kami. I look down and saw an island. Wow is the first thing come up from my mouth.
White sand. Blue and clear sea. I can even see from here the corals. What a place!
Nauna siyang bumaba but he didn't wait for me. He walk toward the ladies waiting for us and tell something. I look around and it's really beautiful.
"Welcome to Isla Sittio Ma'am." Bati sakin ng babaeng nakasummer dress. I mouthed thank you then she lead the way at huminto sa isang cottage.
"Hope you enjoy your stay Ma'am." Then she leave. I will enjoy this place. But I need to make sure first what's happening.
I went inside the cottage. Hindi pa man ako tuluyan nakakapasok ng may biglang yumakap sakin and kiss me. Holy shit!
