Lianna Rodrigo has always dreamed of having the perfect life. She has always wanted the perfect relationship by being with the man of his dreams and have her own family, but what if life throws you a curve ball? What if the man of your dreams can't...
Gary Jimenez just ended the call with Lianna when his bestfriend, Carlos entered his office.
"Mr. CEO, tara na!"
"Ikaw na lang. Pagod na ako. Pang-apat na meeting ko na sila today."
"Tigilan mo nga ako. Ako ang sumalo sa breakfast meeting mo dahil late ka."
Gary sighed, "Fine. Basta saluhin mo ulit yung dinner meeting ko bukas ha."
"Nanaman? Parang simula nung bumalik ako dito sa Maynila, parang ako na lang parati, ah!"
"Sige na! Promise, papayagan kita umuwi ng La Union next week kapag kinuha mo yun."
"Fine! Fine! Kung di ko lang namimiss sila Mama.."
Gary smiled, "Salamat, Carlos. Tara na."
Gary Jimenez is the CEO of one of the biggest advertising agencies in the country. He was elected a few years ago when his Dad retired. His Mom died when he was in college due to cancer and his two sisters are both married and living in another country. As the only son, he didn't have any other choice but to do what his Dad wanted. He really wanted to be a pilot but he never really got the chance to fulfill that dream. Thankfully, he got his bestfriend, Carlos, that helps him get by.
As usual, the meeting went well. The clients are happy with what they presented, well, what Carlos prepared and presented. Gary just supported him with the presentation and shook hands with the client.
"Congrats, Pare!", Gary pats Carlos on the shoulder as he was closing his laptop.
"Thank you. Dinner tayo? Libre mo ako!"
"Dinner?"
"Or hindi ka pwede? Hinahanap ka na ata sa inyo, eh?"
"Gago. Wala. Sige, dinner tayo!"
They walked to the nearby resto bar and enjoyed themselves. As usual, Gary's low tolerance couldn't match Carlos' tolerance and ended up drunk.
"Tama na, Pare. Hatid na kita."
"One more, Caloy. Sige na."
"Lasing ka na. Lagot ka nanaman."
"Hindi yan! Sige na. One last. Promise!"
"Okay. One last ha, tapos i-uuwi na kita."
As Gary said, one more glass means he won't be able to walk anymore. Carlos asked help from the waiters to help him bring Gary to the parking lot near the office where his car is. Carlos started to drive when Gary's phone started to ring. He stopped by the side to check.
*Lianna calling*
"Lianna? Sino si Lianna?"
Thinking it was important, Carlos decided to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Gary?"
"Sorry. This is his friend."
"Is Gary, okay? Why do you have his phone?"
"Yes. Medyo naka-inom lang kaya hindi kinaya mag-drive."
"Oh. Okay. Sige, thank you for driving him home."
"Walang problema, miss. Sabihin ko na lang na tumawag ka."
"Kahit hindi na. I will just text him tomorrow. Okay, Bye!"
"Good-"
The phone call ended. "-Bye." Carlos looked at the screen. "Di pa ako tapos mag goodbye eh. Sino kaya yun?" He looked at Gary sleeping soundly beside him. "Gago talaga 'to. Chicks niya siguro." He slipped Gary's phone back in his pocket and continued to drive him home.
