Silent Tears

chapter 8

"Cassy thank you for coming.  You are indeed the school's gem.  Your experience can do a lot better to our department.  That's why we wanted you handle this special program.  It is greatly appreciated that you accepted our invitation."
"It is my pride to be working with you dean.  My business partner who is handling business are both alumni of this school too.  She make it easy for me to accept this."
I am currently at the department head of fashion design program.  I will be handling this particular specialized course.  This offers diploma in fashion design.  I am excited to share my knowledge and be a part if this new curriculum. 
Actually, my mom is the one who convinced me to do this.  Our family is one of the stockholder. Having almost 50% share capital of this school since my mother is one of the foundress.  She is really into clothing line bussines and thought of building this type of school.

True enough, I received call from my mom.  She asked me if I already talk to dean. 
"Thank you very much cassy.  I love you princess."
"Mom i know this one of your hidden agenda why you allow me to enroll my masters in Paris." Umismid ako as if kaharap ko sya. 
Tumawa lang sya kabila.  "Princess, I know you would think of that.  You know pretty well that it's your dream to become who you are now."  Mom and her sweet words.
"Yeah right mom."
"By the way iha.  Sophia's mom called me.  Hindi ka raw makontak ni Sophia knina. Just to remind you of the final fitting later."
"Okay mom.  Baka mahina ang signal sa loob ng office ni dean kanina.  Thanks mom."
"Okay princess.  Take care. Bye."
"You too mom...  I love you po. Bye mom."

I called at CIM Fashion House on my way to the office. They updated me of the prepared suits and gowns intended for fitting of two families.  Well, they are indeed our big clients who will surely bring out our name in fashion business.  For sure more clients will get interest in our works. 

Cheska also informed of the scheduled fittings.  She has been my good companion in business.  She is hardworking like me.  That is why we both make our names in fashion industry.

I saw my phone blinking.
Sophie
calling...

I received it thru bluetooth.
"Yeah Soph, how are you?"
"Hi Cass! I'm good.  Never been this excited." I imagine her beaming with happiness.
"So, whats up? Are you done with fitting? How do you find it?"
"Gosh! Cassy, I love it!  Thank you. I called you since we prepared a simple dinner here.  Kinda celebration.  Please come over.  I'll be waiting for you."
"Is there a need for me to go there?" Sophie is already an addition to my circle of friends just recently.
"Of course!  Since you are a friend."
"Okay."  I manuevered my car towards their house after she gave the address.

She welcomed me with a tight hug.  "Thank you for coming Cass.  Wala pa yung iba.  Meryenda muna tayo. C'mon." Pag aya niya sa akin papasok.  Her beauty radiates happiness and excitement.  I am happy that she found her true happiness after years of waiting.  Ako kailan pa kaya.  I smiled bitterly.

Naabutan ko pa ang team na naka assign sa fitting nina Sophie at ng kanyang family.  No need for some adjustments daw.  They had snack and went out ahead of me.  "Ma'am Cass mauna na po kami.  Balik na po kami sa CIM." The senior of the team said.
"Okay.  Ingat kayo. Salamat."
"Sige po." At umalis na sila lulan ng company van.

Sophie and me went back to the living room.  We talked about ramdom things.  Until evening came at nag umpisa nang magsidatingan ang kanyang mga bisita.
