Adventure Of A Lifetime

Chapter 38

CHAPTER 38

THALIA'S POV

Wala akong ibang ginawa kundi ang umiyak magdamag, pakiramdam ko ay mauubos na ang luha dahil sa kakaiyak. May sumpa ata ang araw na ito at sobra akong nasasaktan ngayon. Parang pinipiga ang puso ko sa sakit, naninikip ang dibdib ko at hindi ako makahinga. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako kakaiyak.

Nagising ako ng alas-dos para ayusin ang mga gamit ko, hindi ko alam kung kailan ang alis namin, kung ngayon ba  o bukas, pero alam kong aalis kami sa lalong madaling panahon. Pinagkasya ko lahat ng gamit ko sa dalawang maleta. Ni-isang tawag ay wala akong natanggap mula kay Gabriel. Alam kong ganito ang gusto kong mangyari pero hindi ko alam kung bakit umaasa pa rin ako na tatawagan niya ako. I talked to Laurynne and told her what happened, she's the only person i trust the most.

Hindi ako nakatulog at nakahiga lang ako hanggang sumikat ang araw, one of our maids delivered breakfast in my room and told me that according to my Dad, we will leave this afternoon. I gathered all the strength to take a bath and went to the hospital. Alam kong nasa school si Gabriel sa ganitong oras kaya ngayon lang ako pwedeng pumasok ng hospital.

"Tita, I'm leaving this afternoon" i muttered "i will miss you so so much, sobrang dami mo pong naitulong saakin at kulang ang salitang salamat para doon, please tita, gumaling kana please" tumulo ang luha ko kaya basang basa na ang kumot na sa kama "thank you for everything, tita Alyanna"

Umalis din ako agad at dumiretso sa school para asikasuhin ang pag transfer ko, mas napadali nga lang dahil nacontact na ni Daddy ang school ko kaya konti nalang inasikaso ko. I had lunch with Laurynne, ashi and luis. Laurynne was quiet and sad because she's the only one who knew that I am leaving this afternoon, the two boys were just hyper as usual. I will miss them. So much.

Umuwi ako at pag dating ko ay nakaready na silang lahat at halatang ako nalang ang hinihintay. Bella was super excited because she thought that we will just have a vacation and it made her so happy that i will come with them. Mang Ben drove us to the airport, i was just quiet the whole time. When we got there, tita clarisse bought some foods because bella was a picky eater so she might not like the foods that was offered in the plane. It was a very long flight and i just slept because I was super tired and also wanted to rest. Wala rin akong ganang kumain kaya hindi rin ako nagising dahil sa gutom. After so many hours tita clarisse wake me up and i heard an announcement that we just landed at Canada's Airport.

"yeyyy Canada!" bella giggled as we walk around the airport and wait for our service

After a few minutes the van arrived and drove us to our house here in canada. It's not that small but it's not big either. Medyo luma na ang ibang furniture dahil bihira lang kaming umuwi dito. Pumunta agad ako sa kwarto ko at inayos iyon. I made my self busy and distracted.

Days later, i started studying business at Western University. I focused on studying, halos araw-araw. Ginagawa kong busy ang sarili ko para makaiwas sa lungkot. My dad changed my phone but i don't get to use it all the time because i was so focused on studying the course that i don't really want. I became more busy during the my second and third year, i rarely slept because of all the things that i have to submit but after all, i survived.
I survived the hardest moments alone. I survived. I graduated. Ngayon ko lang nakita si Daddy na ganito kasaya. He was so proud of me. But I'm not.

I remember that i promised myself that no matter what happens, i will graduate and become a doctor because that's my dream. But now, i already give up on that dream.

I already booked a flight to the Philippines because i miss bella so much, nauna na silang umuwi after my graduation and i have to be left here for my internship. I was a little nervous though, coming back to the Philippines feels like coming back to all our memories together.

I miss him. The last time i heard about him is that he passed the bar. I am beyond proud.

After a few hours we already arrived at the Airport. Laurynne will be the one to fetch me here so i am really excited to see her. The last time we saw each other was when she visited me in Canada last year.

"Thaliaaaaa!!!!" i looked back and when i heard her voice

She run towards me and hugged me. I miss her so much!

"gosh, grabe ha buti naman at nakapasok pa ko sa schedule mo doktora" i joked

She laughed at me  "Gaga! Syempre gusto ko ako ang sumundo sayo noh!"

We had lunch and we stayed at the restaurant for almost 3 hours because of the unending chika but she's busy and i also needs to rest so i decided to go home and she went back to the hospital. Tomorrow is my first day at work, gusto ni Daddy na magtrabaho ako agad sa kompanya.

"ate, i missed you!" i giggled when i saw bella

Dalaga na siya ngayon, hindi ako makapaniwala. Dati kinakarga ko lang to eh, ngayon parang ako na ang kakargahin niya dahil sa sobrang payat ko. Tita Clarisse prepared some of my favorite food so i was literally full after our dinner, my tummy was bloated. I took a shower and did my skincare, it's already 10 pm when i dozed off to sleep.

The next morning, i woke up because of my alarm. I immediately took a bath and get ready for work. I wore my favorite top and my black pencil skirt. Medyo maluwag na rin sakin ang skirt ko dahil sa sobrang payat ng katawan ko. I did my make up and fixed my things. I drove to the hospital because i need to get there by 7 am. Hindi pwedeng malate ang CEO!

People bowed their heads as i walked to the conference room. Tanging ang tunog lang ng takong ko ang naririnig. They all lowered their heads to give respect to the boss. I awkwardly smiled to the employees that i bumped into. Everyone was quiet when i entered the conference room. My father was already there.

"i present to all of you, my daughter, the new CEO of Almeda Corp, Thalia Almeda" My father announced

I bowed my heads as everyone clapped their hands. So this is the feeling of being 'the boss', being the center of attention. I awkwardly smiled at them. I'm not used of all of this but i think i have to get used of it already. I have to adjust.

My father, the chairman, introduced me to the other people here. They were old but they looked at me with so much respect. I guess i saw some of them when i was young during the times that my father used to introduce me to them as the next person that will take over the company and that really happened.

I am now the CEO of our company. 'Dra.' suits me more but i guess i should now let go of that dream because i have now a lot of responsibilities and i should do well to be the boss that my employees deserve. I should.
