"Sophia, are your clothes ready?" Kuya Sean

"Yes, Kuya. Gaano tayo katagal doon?" Sophia

"Hanggang matapos ang deal namin sa isang resort doon." Kuya Sean

"What about school?" Sophia

"You have a week left diba tapos sembreak nyo na? Can you just catch up pag balik mo?" Kuya Sean

"I guess, but what about Mama and Papa? Tayo lang ba?" Sophia

"Susunod sila pag naclose na ni Papa ang deal sa pag supply ng furnitures sa Elite Peak Hotel." Kuya Sean

I guess Kuya and Dad is really busy.. Dad's trying to close a deal in Elite Peak Hotels which is a very refined and a five star hotel in Manila while Kuya Sean is also working on a deal with Palm Bliss Resorts in Batangas which we are about to go in a few minutes. I don't know much about our business and I'm not that involve in it and I think this is my Kuya's way to get me involved or atleast know about our business. All I know is we do furnitures and supply them, I also know that our furnitures are very unique and have been supplied to big companies and hotels because Papa designed most of them himself.. Yung iba ay designs din ni kuya. I believe they want to make our furnitures international.

Since wala naman akong gagawin sa sembreak, Mabuti ng sumama ako kayla Kuya and para din ito siguro kay Ezekiel. I know for sure that he doesn't want to see me. Siya mismo ang umiiwas and I haven't heard one word from him since that day happened. This is for myself too.. I needed to rest, I need to have a peace of mind and I know escaping these chaos won't make my life any better but atleast, I get to rest for a little while.

"Is Savannah coming?" Sophia

"Do you want me to bring her?" Kuya Sean

"Of course kuya, bakit naman hindi? tsaka, ang boring mo kasama!" Sophia

"I'm not boring, you'll see.. I'll ask her if she's available." Kuya Sean

"Okay." Sophia

Tinutulungan ko ngayon si Kuya sa pag pack ng mga damit nya sa two weeks na pamamalagi namin sa Palm Bliss. All I know is we're staying in a rising resort na dinedevelop at inaalagaan ng mabuti upang makasama rin sa five star. I think the grand opening of the resort is a month from now. Kuya is very hands on sa bawat projects and deals na nahahawakan nya kaya nga ang akala ko noon ay hindi na sya mag kaka girlfriend dahil sa sobrang busy niya. Buti na lamang ay nakahanap siya ng ibang pag kaka abalahan bukod sa trabaho.

"Did you bring any formal attire?" Kuya Sean

"No, Do I need to? Diba ikaw lang naman ang aattend sa meetings?" Sophia

"Isasama kita minsan you should bring some." Kuya Sean

"What kind of formal attire?" Sophia

"Office type or a professional dresses. You could wear a pencil skirt. or a corporate dress basta you must look mature." Kuya Sean

"alright.. your clothes are all good, tignan mo nalang kung ayaw mo sa mga naipack ko, I'll go ahead and put some office clothes in my luggage." Sophia

"Okay, Bilisan mo. I'll call you pag aalis na tayo. Do you need me to call the school?" Kuya Sean

"Yeah para alam din ng teachers ko na I'm out of town.. Just please don't tell them that we're going to Palm Bliss." Sophia
