Chapter 18

Someone's POV

"Dad? Are you ready? " Sabi ng lalaki

"Yes, I can't wait to see her" sagot ng matandang lalaki.

"I think you are really proud of her"

"I am same as I felt for you son" sagot ng matanda. Napangiti ang lalaki sa sinabi ng daddy niya.

"Thank you dad" sagot ng lalaki sa daddy niya.

Then they both smile to each other.

Anne's POV

["I was really surprised babe, but I guess he was adopted by them"] Sabi ko sa telepono ky Sherwin

[" Maybe he was, kamusta pala Yung meeting niyo?"] sagot niya

["You know what? Ang daming nagbago Kay Sheryl. Alam mo yung dati okay Naman sa kanya lahat but now? Kailangan mameet mo yung standards niya"] kwento ko Kay Sherwin,

["Really? So did they meet? "] Tanong niya

["Well,"] Sabi ko tapos ay napasandal ako sa swivel chair ko

["Well, Kung Kay Sheryl parang Wala lang. Pero Kay Hillary? He was really shocked. But business is business"] Sabi ko

[" Ganun ba, parang tiga panood lang tayo ng mga eksena nilang dalawa hano?" ] Sabi niya Kaya napatawa ako.

Totoo Naman kasi.

[" A good audience babe, Kaya abangan na natin ang susunod na kabanata HAHAHA!"] pagsakay ko sa sinabi niya

[" Sira. By the way, what time out mo?"] Tanong niya

Tumingin ako sa wrist watch ko, at sumilip ako sa labas.

[" I think, mga 6pm why?"]  Tanong ko

["I'm gonna pick you up. Let's have a dinner"] Sabi niya. Napangiti Naman ako.

Buti na lang, kami ni Sherwin hindi nagbago. Walang nawala. Still kami parin and I hope it will last until we get married.

sheryl' POV

"Mom?" Tawag sakin ni harry

Nasa grocery store kami dito sa mall. I'm pushing our cart while he is the one who pick.

"Yes?" Sagot

"What are you doing there?" Tanong niya

"Where?at stole?" Tanong ko pa

"Yes Mom"

"For business, I want their company. So decided to have a meeting with them, how about you harry?"

"Ah, it's because of Hillary" sagot niya while looking to a snack food

"How?" Tanong ko.

"When I arrived here, my phone got snatched that's why I don't have contact. I have my money but no one wants it, so walked. Until there was a group of men, I saw them riding a skateboard I got envy that time mom, I borrowed it, but accidentally I broke it. I tried to pay them but they got angry so I run, I run until Hillary came. He saved me from those guys" pageexplain niya

"Really? He did that?"

"Yes Mom, when I got thirsty. He asked me to get down of his car, he drove his car but mom, he came back. Then he brought me in stole." Dagdag pa niya

"I think we need to say thank you" Sabi ko

"Yes mom, we really need to do that" pagiinsist niya

"But, in one condition since you are here in Philippines you need to speak their language so I want you to learn it. Is that clear?" Sabi ko while pushing parin ng cart namin

"But mom, you know that it's hard for me" pagrereklamo niya

"Oppss! No excuses if you really want to.  And you badly need it" Sabi ko

"Okay mom I will" pag sang ayon niya

"That's good. Every day ha? Starting now? You will talk to me in Tagalog" Sabi ko

"Yeah mom" malungkot niyang pag agree

He must learn it, magiging kawawa siya kapag Hindi siya marunong at makaintindi ng Filipino language.

"Mom?" Tawag na Naman niya

"Yes?"

"Where's dad?" Tanong niya

"Maybe he's on his way home. Why?" Tanong niya

"Nothing mom"

"Okay, let's get hurry" utos ko.

Ipagluluto ko pa so blaster at harry ng paborito nilang pagkain.

Hillary's POV

Bakit ang hirap parin tanggapin Yung nangyari samin ni Sheryl?  Kahit na years na ang itinagal ng among di pagkikita.

Why? Bakit masakit pa din?

I was really hoping na kapag nagkita kami, maaayos na. Mas makakahinga na ako ng maluwag.  Pero bakit mas lalong sumakit lang?

It's really unexpected. She was married to blaster and now she have a son? And bakit parang Hindi niya ako kilala? What's wrong? What happened to her?

It's 5:30pm, but I'm still here at my office.  Mula sa upuan ko tumayo ako tapos ay naglakad palabas ng office ko then I saw Anne kalalabas lang ng office niya.

"Anne?" Tawag ko sa kanya.

Syempre knowing Anne. Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay and while naglalakad palapit sakin, nakacross arms siya.

"And why? " Mataray niyang tanong

Isa pa, bakit si Anne kilala niya?

"Hillary! Why?" Pasigaw na tanong ni Anne

"I have something to ask, and please tell me the truth? " Seryoso Kong aabi, huminahon Naman ang mukha niya.

"What is it?" Tanong niya

Tumingin Muna ako sa paligid, and I saw few people looking at us. Kaya naglakad ako papasok sa office ko. Praise to God! Kasi nagets ni anne.

"Then what?" Tanong niya ulit.

I know wala na ako sa place para tanungin si shi Kay Anne. Kaso gusto ko lang talaga malaman.

"What happened to her?" Tanong ko.

"To her? Sino?" Tanong niya, Alam Kong Alam niya Kung Sino ang tinutukoy ko.

"You know who I'm talking about" seryoso kong Saad.  Natahimik siya ng sandli siguro nagiisip siya.

"Anne? I need your answer."

"And Why would I tell you?" Tanong niya

Ako naman and natahimik sa tanong niya. Bakit pa ba? 

"I just want to know. She acts weird. But if you don't want to tell me, it's okay. You can now leave" tuluy-tuloy Kong Sabi tsaka ako tumalikod sakanya.

" Sheryl has an amnesia" sagot niya

Napahinto Naman ako sa binigay niyang sagot.

"You hear me? May amnesia" paguulit niya Kaya napalingon na ako sa kanya.

"But how?" Kahit diko sabihin na nagalala ako, Alam Kong napansin ni Anne sa tono ng tanong ko.

"And when? Bakit diko Alam?" Dugtong ko.

"Siguro di ko na kailangan pang idetalye sayo? It's enough na Alam mong may amnesia para just in case na magkita ulit kayo, Hindi kana magtataka. So? I need to leave? Nasaan baba na siguro ang fiance ko. Bye!" Sabi niya. Tsaka siya lumabas ng office ko.

She left me with a thousand of questions.

Kaya pala.

Kaya pala the way she talks to me parang Wala lang tapos ganun pala may amnesia siya.

I need to find answers..
