Chapter 54

Recuerdame

 

That day was like a dream I must say. Halos magwala ang matres ko sa nangyari.

Ngunit sa totoo lang, sino ba naman ako para magkailang hindi iyon nagustuhan? Ako pa mismo ang hiyang-hiya para sa sarili dahil halatang nasabik pa roon pagkatapos!

Was I the one to blame though? It was all because of his lewd invitation! His face was enough to trigger worldly stuff in my head!

I groaned frustratedly at my thoughts. It's been days since that happened and I was still here, being so defensive. I'm so hopeless. Geez.

"Your friends are coming over, Ella. What set of foods would you like to serve?" tanong ni Mama habang nasa hapag kami at nag-aalmusal.

Three days have rolled out smoothly. Sa tatlong araw na iyon, tuluyan na akong nakalipat kasama sina Mama, Bria, at Bridgette na kasalukuyang kasama ko rin sa mesa.

"Ayos na ang simpleng merienda lang, Ma. Tatanungin ko pa kung saan nila mas gusto. Sa pool ba o dito na lang sa loob."

"We also have our music room, Ate Mich. In case you, guys, want to use it," Bria suggested.

"I'll take that in mind," I winked at her.

"Simpleng merienda?" Mama looked a tad hesitant. "Okay, but uhmm... I'll see what I can do. You won't mind me getting your friends a cup of hospitality, right?"

Natawa na lang ako sa pagiging metikuloso ni Mama.

"Anything will suffice," I shrugged at her and continued eating.

The past few days, that's one of the traits I observed my mother innately has. She's a finicky and pedant type of mother and woman. And I'm very happy to discover much from her.

Sa saglit na panahong iyon, naging abala kami sa maraming bagay at masasabi kong naging productive naman ang lahat. Bukod sa paglilipat-bahay ko ay naipasyal din ako ni Mama sa parent company ng Damgeen Holdings, Inc.

Hindi naman iyon ganoon kapormal. Ipinakita lang sa akin ang mga facility at mga importanteng departamento para sa dagdag na kaalaman. Naipakilala na rin sa iilang empleyado ngunit minabuti naming dahan-dahanin muna ang lahat. 

Nabanggit din sa akin ni Mama ang alok ni Mr. Ambrose na nais tumulong sa mangyayaring ventures at adjustments sa kompanya upang remedyuhan ang pagkawala ni Madrigal sa pamamahala.

Nalaman kong isa nga ito sa board members ngunit sa lalong madaling panahon, ililipat din kay Emman ang posisyon sa oras na umayos na ang kalagayan nito tulad ng napag-usapan.

Hindi ko alam iyon. Wala akong ideya kung gaano kalaking tulong pala ang naibigay ng magpipinsang Trevino hindi lang sa akin kundi para sa pamilya ko.

At kung ako lang, gusto kong tanggihan dahil napangungunahan ng hiya. Ngunit sino ba naman ako para magdesisyon? Bukod sa hindi pa sapat ang kaalaman ko sa negosyo, high school student pa lang ako at walang ibang ginawa kundi mamerwisyo. I've got a long way to go for me to be prepared on that certain area.

Aside from that, I've been consistent in spending most of my time at the hospital.

So far, Emman's condition has improved a lot. But of course, we're till maintaining his diet and medications. His parents also opted to seek psychological help like therapies for a faster recovery and I could say that there has been an improvement the past days on that part, too. Sobrang saya ko roon at sana, magtuloy-tuloy na.
