WAX TYLER BERNS

"KABANATA 9"

His schedule was been so hectic especially now that his the one handling all his fathers business,his uncle is on leave now,so he has no time for pleasure and everything.

He only wanted to finish all the appointments and meetings he has.
His focus is on the papers hes been studying for an hour already,thats why he doesnt mind who is the one who came inside tanging tunog lang ng takong ng sapatos ang narinig niya kaya dina niya ito tiningnan pa,He knows it was his secretary.

"What it is you want Miss Santiago? he ask but not looking at her.

"Babe,surprise" a loud voice of a woman beam over the whole room.

Thats the time he took some glances over the woman,and was shock because it was Olivia he doesnt know na nakauwi na pala ito.

"Im not Ms. Santiago by the way" while pouting her lips with a thick red lipstick on it.

"Why your here? im busy im sorry but i cant entertain you right now?
he still remain cold at her.Until now hindi pa niya nakalimutan ang ginawa nito its because his a gentleman sinamahan niya ito for a dinner at gusto daw siyang kausapin ng parents nito about business proposal.But when they started to dine nagulat siyang marami pa lang bisita.At nasa labas lang na lalo niyang ikinagulat ng iannounce ng mga magulang nito ang engagement nila.His been so angry that she decieved him,kung hindi lang babae maybe he cant control his anger at nasaktan niya ito.Tinalikuran niya ang mga ito na kahit ang parents ng babae ay tinatawag siya but he dont mind.Until now galit pa rin siya dito at hanggat maari ayaw nitong makita but because of a spoiled brat stubborn woman hindi pa rin ito tumitigil and now infront of him.

"Babe,your so cold why dont you give your fiancee a welcome kiss,im here now,i've travelled just to be with you".Shes saying that while seating on his lap na kinaiktad niya at kinagalit na,

"Get out in here,he shouted already.At hinila niya ito palayo sa kanya.

"No babe,i miss you already,and i dont want to leave,i want to stay with you" angil pa nito.

He just control his anger,"Get out im busy right now".

"Ok babe,i'l come back tomorrow i just fix my things" she wanted to kiss him ngunit nilayo ang mukha niya dito.

"Until now you dont forget what i did,you know why i do that i only want my parents to know about us babe?malamyos nitong sabi."And im sorry for that".

"We dont have us" pinagdiinan pa niya ang us to emphasize na wala sila nun.But this woman is hard headed."So dont conclude anymore that we will have because we will never" so get out now.

"Babe even you would tell me how many times that we dont have us for me we have so whatever it is your mine and no one will have you,Bye, see you tomorrow! na biglang humalik pa sa labi niya.

Naiiling na lang siya hanggang ngaun hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na until now this woman still after him,Ilang beses man niyang itaboy palagi pa rin itong nakasunod sa kanya.She really has a guts to tell him that shes his,what a woman?

For him only one woman only and thats Althea.

He remember the boy he meet in the beach last week,his hoping he would see him again ng maalala ang ina.He dialled his mothers number if she has any news about that boy.Ilang ring lang ng sumagot ito.

"Hello Anak kamusta kana? wag magpabaya sa katawan ha, masayang wika ng ina.

He chuckled, his mother is still so caring "Yes mom hows dad?

"Ok naman siya yung therapist na nerecommend mo shes here twice a week and so far your dads legs are getting fine now" dugtong pa nito.

"Thats better mom,good to hear that wag lang matigas ang ulo niya lagi" natatawang ani niya.

"Ayan nga ang sinasabi ko sa kanya pero matigas ang ulo,hay naku anak,Kelan ka ba uuwi? malungkot nitong sabi.

"When i finish all my appointments and meetings mom il be home".

"Ok son just take care always,wala kami ng daddy mo jan na tutulong sayo".wika ng ina.

"I will mom always,anyway do you have any info with that little boy? natanong niya.

"No son,sabi nung katiwala duon once in a while lang bumibisita ang mga iyun at ang may ari nung bahay ay si Piere Davis but they dont give any info" malungkot pa nitong saad.

"Its ok mom we just hope to see him again" pampalubag loob na niya dito.

"That boy reminds me when you were small" anang ina."Malapit ang loob ko duon sa batang iyun even your dad too".

"Yeah mom me too,anyway i will visit Uncle Toms grand children later,its their bday so i will be there to bring some gifts". ani niya dito.

"Ok,tell your uncle were sorry we cant come,if your dad will be ok we will visit him" wika pa nito.

"I will mom,just take care and dad too,i will hang up now,bye mom" paalam niya dito at pinatay nang magpaalam na ang ina.

He hoped that he can have any information with that kid,he know Pierre Davis but his business is not related with him so wala siya maidahilan at wala din siyang karapatan na usisain ito.

Tumayo na siya kaagad when he remembered that he has to buy some gifts for the kids.

He will go to the mall to buy for it,nang makalabas siya ng building niya ay kaagad siyang sumakay sa kotse at dumeretso papuntang mall.
At pumasok siya sa isang toy store.

His thinking what to buy when he bump someone inside the toy store.

"Be careful kiddo" anas niya nang muntik na itong matumba.

"Tito Wax your here? nanlalaking mata nitong sabi sa kanya habang nakatingin,nagulat ito ng makita siya.

"Hey buddy,how are you? his excited to see this little boy again kanina lang naalala pa niyan na tanungin sa ina but now his in front of him.He hugged him so tight,"tito wax i cant breathe"
reklamo na nito.

"Oh im sorry kiddo,i just wanted to see you,anyway whose with you? palinga-linga pa siya kung sino ang kasama nito.

"Shine and mama Sahara,why are you here you will buy toys also? usisa pa nito.

"Yeah,for my cousins kids,do you want something to buy? tanong pa niya ulit dito.

May hawak itong isang helicopter toy " I want to buy this but mommy is not here" sabay pakita nga nito sa kanya.

"You like that? ng tumango ito inaya niya papuntang cashier para bayaran ang laruang hawak nito.Nang mabayaran niya binigay niya dito "Thank you Tito Wax im so happy" masayang mukha ang nakikita niya nang mapansin niya nakasuot pa ng damit pang eskwelahan.

"Where do you study? he ask him para alam niya kung saan niya ito pwede makita.

"There in St.Mathews School,why tito Wax?

"No kiddo i just ask because your still wearing your school uniform"sinipat pa niya ito.

"Baby come now were going home your mom is in the house already" biglang tawag ng isang babae sa kaharap niyang bata.

"Yes mama,will going home now,nice to see you again tito Wax, Bye po! paalam nito ng tumalikod na.

His heart was in chaos seing that kid again,he dont know why but when he saw him its like what he felt before when he saw the woman he loves so much.

And now he knows too where he can find the kid if he wants to see him.That kid makes him so alive when he see him.
