Our Fated Encounter [Completed]

Chapter 35

He aged a bit but he still has that aura that seems unapproachable. I have always been intimidated by him kaya ang hirap niyang tignan ngayon at kausapin.

He may quite look like him but I'm grateful that they don't have the same personality.

"You've grown up so much since the last time we met. You now quite resemble your dad." He said starting a conversation.

"How have you been? I heard my son has stayed with you for some time now. How is he?"

"He's doing well and he quite looks more like you now." I answered while eating up the food he ordered for us.

"I hope he's now ready to act like one." Sabi niya pa kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you know I'm not getting any younger now that he's getting older." He said but I quickly replied with, "What's your point?"

"I'm just saying that maybe it's now time for him to act mature and take over the company." He casually said

"You should have discussed this matter with him and not with me." Sabi ko pa at isinantabi ko muna ang hawak ko

"You know that boy is stubborn and that will never come and agree to talk to me." Alam ko naman yun dahil parang may malaking pader na nakaharang sa relasyon nilang mag-ama but this is just odd that he's discussing these kinds of matter to me. Does he suppose I relay the message to Angelo and force him to agree with his dad's decisions?

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"I suppose you are not mad also, right?" he said and as if chuckled before continuing, "Afterall, I took care of your dad and what he had left hanging behind, tsk."

I know na siya yung sumalo sa mga naiwan ni papa but why is he acting this way? I'm thankful for everything that he has done pero di naman niya kailangang isumbat na may utang na loob kami sa kanya.

"Di po naman namin yun nakakalimutan." I simply said

"Good to hear that," he said as he proceeded with eating his food, "I hope you can do the favor I'm asking you."

May kapalit rin pala yung mga ginawa niya para sa'min. Di ako nagrereklamo dahil kung tutuusin kakausapin ko lang naman siya pero sadyang ayaw ko siyang pilitin kung ayaw niya.

I heard my phone buzz kaya tinignan ko kung sino and I'm thankful dahil dito.

"I miss having dinner with the family, we should do that next time." He said pero tinignan ko lang siya at tinignan ulit yung phone ko then replied.

"Let's meet him today and pakidaanan na rin ako dito. Thanks."

I looked at the man I'm with and he's still busy with his food.

"We can try doing that but try reconnecting with your son first." I said then ate the last bit of my food on my plate. "Thanks for the food but I have other plans today." I said as I stood up.

"Oh, okay you seem quite busy. Let's meet again next time." He said as he looked at me with a smile.

"I'll be looking forward to that, bye." I said then started walking away but before I left the table, I said one last thing. "Goodluck with that plan of yours, may the odds be with you then?"

Narinig kong napabitaw siya sa hawak niya pero di ko na nakita kung lumingon pa ba siya dahil deritso ko ng tinungo yung daan palabas.

I was checking my phone kung may text na ba siya kung nasaan siya pero wala so I just kept scrolling through it while waiting still near the restaurant.
