CHAPTER 16
Sa buhay, hindi talaga madali ang lahat.
Kailangan mo munang dumapa at umiyak bago makamit ang pangarap.
"Building up this company was also building up myself. This is my cold, dark and depth life. I hope you enjoy living in it with no regrets."
Flash and clicks went thru as the claps echoed in my ear.
"So, this is Carlisle Ferreas, signing off as a chief operating officer from the La Liga Unite."
I ended it with that speech.
Medias were all over my way out of the office, but I have no power to face it by now. I'm weak.
"I'm sorry she can't be interviewed by now." Ani Travis.
Pinagbuksan naman niya ako ng pinto sa kaniyang sasakyan.
"Are you alright?"
"Mmm,"
"Toxic people, eh?" aniya at saka tumawa.
"Tss. H'wag ka ngang tumawa."
"Too old fo' it?"
"Shut-"
"Get out."
Siniringan ko siya ng tingin.
"That must be what you said." Natatawa niyang sabi.
Letting go of the company in the hands of my son was the great decision I've ever made.
Hindi iyon madaling bitawan. For it is the one that was with me when I thought I was all alone.
Nang makabalik kami sa Pangasinan ay sinalubong ako ni Malone ng tanong.
"O, kumusta signing off?"
"May umiyak ba?"
"Asa ka," sagot ni Malone kay Clevi.
"May media?"
"Yeah. Toxic for Lalie."
"Damiel asked the media not to come, eh?"
"I don't know. They were so stubborn."
It sucks when you don't have anything you want to do.
And it was the moment, everyone else, but me is running away.
Kaya napag-isipan kong ibigay ang kasiyahan ni Enrico, Malone at Clevi.
Enrico always wanted to be with Amethon all the time. I'm giving it to him.
Malone and Clevi always wanted to have a job they'll be happy. I named them as the company director.
For some reason, do'n sila sasaya.
Kahit man lang sa huling pagkakataon, maranasan nila ang hindi pa nila nagagawa. Especially for Malone and Clevi.
Alam kong sa paglipas ng araw, ang tahimik at malungkot na kompanya, ang maging isang lugar para sa mga taong nanghahangad ng kasiyahan.
I know Clevi and Malone will go for it. They'll seek for more happiness there.
My sons, Amethon and Enrico will find the light again together.
Hindi magiging madali ang lahat, pero sa paglipas ng panahon, ngingiti ulit sila ng magkasama.
Wala namang imposible.
I'm just a simple mother, praying for my sons' happiness.
Wala akong ibang hiling kung hindi ang kasiyahan nilang dalawa.
