You and I

Chapter 3

After five days nailabas na si Grandma mula sa hospital. She's doing great sabi ng doctor okay na daw ang kondisyon niya ang kailangan lang niyang magpahinga at wag munang magtrabaho.

Kaya naman hindi ko siya hinayaang magtrabaho o alalahanin kahit ano tungkol sa trabaho. Dito namin sa bulacan inuwi si grandma para talagang makaiwas siya sa stress dahil mas peaceful dito sa hacienda kaysa sa manila.

Andito kami ngayon sa graden dito sa cottage habang si blue naman ay nagswiswimming kasama ni nay rosie.

"Vanessa malapit na ang 3rd birthday ni Blue. Anong plano mo?"

"Just want a simple party for blue gram. Dito na lang tayo let's just invite everyone here para marami tayo."

"Hmm... I like that. Iinvite natin ang mga anak ng mga trabahador dito para may mga kasamang bata."

"Yes gram. I want it simple though. Just everyone here. Our family."

"That would be great then! Magpapatawag pa ba ako ng organizer?"

"Gram. No need ako na lang po bahala. You know I'm always hands on sa birthday ni Blue."

"Well yeah. I know. Just tell me if you need help."

Ngumiti na lang ako kay gram. Dahil baka mamaya ipilit niya pang gusto niya ng magarang party. I don't want that I just want everything to be simple. Besides, everyone here are our family. Sapat na kami kami lang basta masaya.

"Gram..."

"Yes apo?"

"Can I talk to you about our business?"

"I thought you don't want to talk about it?"

Natatawang sabi nito sakin. Pero ilang araw ko na din itong napag isipan. I don't know kung papayag ito but I have to try.

"Gram... Tita Nina told about this deal sa Landmort Group of Companies. If you would allow me ako na lang po ang tutuloy."

"Why? Hindi na ba kayo babalik sa America? Vanessa you don't have to do this. Paano yong mga business natin sa america?"

"Gram babalik naman po. Besides Anna is there she can handle it. I just don't want to risk your health gusto ko lang kayong tulungan."

"I know your intentions apo. But... Really you don't have to."

"Gram please let me help you. Ayokong iwan kayo dito ng ganito. Naaral ko na din yong deal niyo and our company"

"Sigh. I know soon I have to give you this but I'll think about it."

"Thank you gram. Gusto ko kayong alagaan you know that."

"Of course. Thank you. I don't know what I will do kung wala ka."

"I'm always here gram. I won't leave you."

She just smile at me and hug me. I just hope na payagan niya ko. Atleast I can do something for her. Kinausap ko na si Tita Nina dito at tuwang tuwa siya sa plano ko magiging magandang asset daw kasi ito kung sakaling maclose namin ang deal sa LCG. I reviewed everything about their company and I must say na malaking kumapanya nga ito.

"Vanessa. Apo you sure you want to do this?"

"Gram of course. This is for the company. And don't worry I'll close this deal for you."
sabi ko at niyakap si grandma. Just to assure her that everything will be fine.

"I know you can. Mamimiss ko lang kayo ni Blue. Nasanay na kong may maingay na bata dito"

"We'll visit after three days gram so don't worry o kaya naman kapag wala akong gagawin we'll be here. Hindi ko lang kasi pwedeng iwan si blue you know that. Right?"
