“ Hey, May work ka ba next week?” I heard Bea asked from the other line. It’s been months after lolo’s death and everything seems to be back to normal. Jay found a job at the hospital near our office. We’ve been having a lot of events coming and Bea’s been busy with her work herself.

“ Yes, Bei. Diba I have to be in Batangas for a wedding?” sagot ko

“ Ay, Oo nga pala. I forgot.”aniya

“ Bakit?” pagtataka ko.

“ I was gonna ask you sana if you want to go to Tagaytay with me. I missed my baby. It’s been weeks since I last saw you.”

“ Busy ka naman po kasi diba? After Diana’s Wedding, dumami naman work mo. And kami din nagsabay-sabay yung events.”

“ Yes Love, I’m sorry about that. Pero next week kasi free ako eh. So I thought na baka pwede ka to come with me tapos we can have a mini vacation.” malungkot na sagot niya. Tumingin naman ako sa planner ko and checked my already full schedule. Next Friday, nasa Batangas kami ng team for a celebrity wedding. On Tuesday of that week naman ay pupunta kaming Cebu ni Kat para bisitahin si Deanna. She’s been there for a month already to start her training at her family’s business. Dun kasi mula ang pamilya nila kaya dun din based ang kumpanya ng dad niya at kinakailangan niyang sa kanya mismo magtrain before she takes charge at their company here in Manila. Balik pa namin ni Kat is on Thursday. Tapos Saturday naman may pupuntahan kaming medical mission with Jay’s work.

“ Hey…”

“ What?”

“ You wanna come with me next Friday?” tanong ko

“ Talaga?” she asked na parang batang tinanong kung gustong magpunta sa DisneyLand.

“ Yeah. Although I’d be busy that day but atleast magkakasama tayo.” sabi ko. I could sense a smile forming on her face already.

“ So what do you think, Ms. De Leon?”

“ Of course I’ll come with you. Di na kailangan pilitin pa.” sagot niya

“ I’m excited to see you again, Love. Miss na miss na kita.”

“ And I missed you too. Kaya uwi ka na from Singapore. Okay?”

“ Yes Mam.” she replied.

Bea went to Singapore 3 weeks ago. Bumisita kasi siya kanila Ate Lara Because it’s Kuya Loel’s death anniversary. Aside from that ay may photoshoot din sila for a magazine dun.

“ Bei…”

“ Hm?”

“ I love you” sabi ko. I rarely tell her these words kasi alam ko namang ramdam niya yun. Gusto ko lang sabihin to ngayon sa kanya kasi gusto kong mapangiti siya.

“ I love you too, Baby Love, I love you too.” aniya

“ Sige na. Baka nakakaistorbo na ko sa work mo dyan baka magalit pa si Kat sayo. I have to take Theo to his training na din eh.”

“ Okay. I’ll see you next week?”

“ Yes baby. See you next week.” sabi niya. We ended the call and I went back to work.

“ Tamisss mga bes.” sabi ni Kat pagkatapos ko makipag-usap kay Bea. Tinignan ko silang tatlo at natawa lang naman sila.

“ Hay namiss ko bigla si Deanna. Kung andito yun kanina ka pa binanatan ng kung anong ka eklabuhan nun.”

“ Kung andito yun, malamang sa malamang, ubos na naman pagkain natin ngayon.” ani Isa

“ Ngayon ko lang naexperience hindi makain yung tinago ko sa ref, guys. Himala diba?”
