I was busy signing and reading some papers when my Secretary, Donna, came inside my office. "Ma'am Erin, nasa labas po si Ma'am Geli at Sir Renzo, papasukin ko na po?" Tanong ni Donna.
"Yes, please let them in." I smiled at her.
"Erin, we got food. Alam kasi naming busy ka so you can't eat out with us," Geli smiled and placed food boxes on my desk.
"Nag-abala pa." I said as I clean my desk. Nagkalat ang mga papeles dito. "Thanks, Geli."
"Busy ka nga talaga. Ang sinop mong tao pero naging ganito desk mo oh." Natatawang sabi ni Renzo habang tinutulungan akong iligpit ang mga papel.
"CR lang ako, ha." Paalam ko sa kanila at dumiretso sa CR dito sa loob ng office to freshen up.
After Lolo died three years ago, nailipat niya na saakin ang media company niya. I'm now the chief executive officer of Asia's largest media company.
I smiled as I scanned myself in the full length mirror. Honestly speaking, I think, I look much better than how I looked three years ago. Aside from the fact the my hair is shorter now- shoulder length. It was never colored since it's naturally brown.
Pagbalik ko sa desk, naayos na nila Geli ang desk ko.
"Riz' daughter's birthday is coming. I just got the invitation. Gusto ko sana kaso natapat naman sa flight namin ni Ady next week sa Paris." Nanghihinayang na sabi ko.
"Gosh, same. Pupuntahan namin ni kuya sila Mama sa New York. The day after tomorrow kami aalis pero aabutin kami doon hanggang birthday ni Coco."
"We're here!" Energetic na sabi ni Eros habang buhat ang anak ko.
My 2 and a half year old son, Airan Danielle ran to me.
"Did you have fun?" I hugged him.
"Yes. We played in the park, Mommy." He said. Natiwa naman ako sa ka-cute-an niya. Two and a half palang siya pero matatas siya magsalita.
"Baby bag oh." Eros handed me Ady's bag and gave me a hug.
"Thank you for taking care of him today, Eros."
"No worries. Uy, food!" Eros said and sat on my swivel chair.
"Kung sino may-ari ng number one restaurant chains, siya pa patay gutom." Renzo teased Eros.
Simula nang maka-graduate kami, binenta na ni Mommy ang airline company niya at nag-focus sa pagbi-bake. Ngayon, ang pastry shop niya na ang kinukuhanan ni Eros ng desserts para sa restaurants niya. Si Dad naman ay ang most richest and most successful business tycoon ngayon. He's still in charge of his 5-star Hotels, binigay niya lang kay Eros ang restaurant to lessen his work.
"Mommy, Daddy ko wala pa?" Ady innocently asked.
"Wala pa, anak. It will take a while before he comes back from work. Baka big boy ka na 'nun." I sighed.
That's what I always tell Ady. Since he's very curious, lagi niyang tinatanong kung nasaan ang Daddy niya. I'll always tell his that he's far away and working for him when in fact, I don't have news about his father. I'm sure that his father is already having fun- as a pilot. I never got mad at him. I actually thank him because I will not have Ady if not because of him. Kahit kamukhang-kamukha ni Ady ang tatay niya, okay lang iyon saakin.
"Working?" He asked again.
"Yes, baby kong pogi! Kaya eat na! We'll play more."
"Really, Papa?" Ady's eyes shined.
