Kahit ayaw ko pang tumayo ay kailangan tumayo dahil may aasikasuhin ako sa Quezon sa nangyari kahapon. Some of my classmates back then always email at me about the reunion.

I am now at Quezon to check everything.

"How is it, Alicia?"

"Everything good as of now, Ma'am."

"Does Lennox know about this?"

"Yes, Ma'am. Just this morning." Morning, huh?

"Okay. Can I see the report?" She handed me the report.

I checked it.

"The attorney?" I asked.

"Kaibigan po ni Engineer Farquar. He went here, in Quezon immediately ng marinig ang nangyari dito. Engineer Lancel Francisco sent him because their company attorney filed a leave because his father died." Tumango ako.

"Okay. Then, it's cleared?"

"Yes, Ma'am." And I hang up. Nagbukas ang pinto at naroon si Kuya Cavil.

"Hi," I greeted.

"Hello, is everything fine? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, kuys. Don't worry. How about you? What are you doing? You are supposed to be rest."

"I get bored and hearing that there's a trouble here, I came here."

"You don't need to. I can handle everything. Besides, ayaw ko naman bigyan ka ng problema kapag nakabalik ka na."

"Yeah, baka nga pala makakabalik na ako niyan this week or maybe tomorrow na." Napamaang naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"Oh, yeah? Did the doctor allow you?"

"Of course. I am now healed, Auria. And I am sorry for giving you so much trouble. I'll make it up to you." Nagningning ang mata ko sa sabi ni niya.

"Really? Then, treat me! I miss korean food!" He laughed.

"Okay. Okay, I'll treat you. Are you busy?" I smiled.

"Maybe, later Kuya. Dito ka lang ba?" He nod.

"Yeah, I'll checking."

"Okay kuya. I'll start to organize everything para hindu ka na mahirapan. Your Secretary —"

"It's okay, Auria. Let's go, samahan mo muna ako tapos kakain na din tayo."

Hours passed. It's seven in the evening, we decided to go home and have our dinner.

Gusto ni kuya na siya na lang ang magluto para sa kakainin namin kaya bumili kami ng mga rekados para sa aming samgyup. I did invite Sonya and Yeon but Yeon is busy kaya si Sons na lang ang makakapunta.

"Nagugutom na ako. Matagal pa ba iyan Cavil?" Even Yanna fresh from U.S. is here.

"Oh, ayan. Mukhang gutom na gutom ka na nga, Yanyan."

"Ofcourse!"

Nag-usap sila Sonya at Yanna. I even surprise that Sonya know Cara and Nazi.

"I really admire Cara for her courage, I mean, look at her now, she is now a doctor even Nazi. I am so proud of them!" Yanna said.

"Yeah, Cara is such a brave woman." Segunda ni Sonya. Ano pa nga ba? Madaming konseksyon si Sonya sa iba't ibang pamilya. Sa mga bansa na pinuntahan niya ay lagi na lang siyang may kakilala, kung maglalayas nga ito ay kahit sa ilang bansa ay may matutuluyan siya.
