Welcome Home

13 years later...

"Señora, gracias por todo, te extrañaremos." Yumakap sa akin ang isa kong empleyado.

Translation: Maam, thanks for everything, we will miss you.

My head creases because of her stance. Anong sinasabi niya?

Tinanggap ko lang ang yakap niya pero hindi ako gumalaw. Lalong napakunot ang noo ko nang punasan niya ang mata niya.

"Why, ¿qué quieres decir" I asked.

Translation: Why, what do you mean?

Lumayo siya sa'kin ng kaunti sabay may pinakitang envelope. Inilahad niya ito sa'kin.

"Ma'am you leaving, no?" She asked.

She looks so innocent and cute, with her chinky eyes and small nose, thin lips. Mariana, my assistant in our company.

Inabot ko ang envelope mula sa kanya at agaran kong binuksan iyon.

Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa nababasa.

I Patrixio Luis Lee, the President and owner of LS Cement. Authorized the ousting of Rhianna Trysh Lee, current CEO of LS Cement in Madrid, Spain. For I shall legitimize the displacement of the current CEO after she came back to the Philippines.

Signed:

Patrixio Luis M. Lee
LS Cement President

Reoferio Xymon S. Lee
LS Cement PH-CEO

WHAT?!

Marami pa ang nakapaloob sa sulat. Simula sa kung sino ang papalit sa position ko, mga dahilan kung bakit ako pinapaalis, hanggang sa pagpapasalamat sa pagpayag ko.

I never agreed!

Pinaalis ko muna si Mariana sa aking opisina. Pinoproseso pa'rin ang nangyayari ngayon.

Shit, I can't do anything anymore! Lalo na't napirmahan na ng dalawang namumuno ng kompanya namin.

Ano bang iniisip nila?! Inis kong kinuha ang cellphone ko at dinial agad ang number ni Rio, ang aking pinakamamahal na kapatid.

But while I'm calling, let me introduce myself.

I am Rhianna Trysh Lee, daughter of the great, Patrixio and the good, Faith Lee. Has a brother of one, and his name is Reoferio Xymon Lee.

Graduated with Latin Honors of BS Business Management. And also a holder of Masteral Degree.

My first experience handling a whole big company was when my father sent me to Spain. I was then 18 years old, and legal of age. Nakaya kong pagsabayin ang pagpapatakbo ng kompanya namin habang nag-aaral palang ako sa college.

You must know now the reason why I get to go abroad and finish my college there. I also decided to take my MBA abroad so that it won't be much a hussle.

But of course.

May iba pang mga dahilan kung bakit hindi ako umuwi kaagad...

How long has it been?

9 years since I left for Spain. Ang akala ko mananatili lang ako dito ng isang taon. But then, the most unexpected thing happened.

Of course I will choose to stay. Even though, it means leaving my first and only love.

Napabalik ako sa realidad nang sumagot na si Rio sa tawag ko.

"Rio! What's the meaning of this?!" Sigaw ko sa kanya sa kabilang linya.
