"What?"
"Every region. Hindi nagma-match yung budget report sa bank statement." Ulit ni Clinton sa sinabi n'ya kanina.
Napabuntong hininga ako lalo na nang tingnan ko yung stock ng folders at pagtingin ko kay Clinton nakabuka yung mga braso n'ya. Kaya naman lumapit ako para yakapin s'ya pero nagulat ako nang pinaupo n'ya ako sa hita n'ya saka ako niyakap.
Sina Vicky at Clint naman na nasa desk ni Clinton, lumundag papunta sa hita ko.
"Will this be handled secretly?" Tanong ko at nilingon s'ya.
"For a few days." Sagot n'ya pagkatapos ako patakan ng halik sa labi ko. "Father's going to call for everyone who handles the budget report and bank activities before releasing an official statement to the public."
"You already have your suspicions?"
"Yeah." Sagot n'ya at napaarko yung likod ko nang maramdaman kong umabot sa batok ko yung paghalik n'ya sa leeg ko.
"Paano mo ba nahanap yung difference ng budget report sa kinukuha sa bangko?" Tanong ko at napasinghap nang hinimas n'ya yung hita ko. "Like, how did you come to suspect that there's an anomaly?"
Hinawakan ko naman yung kamay ni Clinton na nagpatigil sa kan'ya sa paghalik sa leeg ko. But I just guided his hand where it feels better to be touched before I rested my back on his chest.
"Father wanted me to check on how it would affect the budget distribution if we're going to buy a few more tanks. Gusto ata n'yang after ko gr-um-aduate ng college next year, kaya ko na i-handle yung budget distribution."
"I think you can do it." Sabi ko at naramdaman ko yung pagngiti n'ya dahil magkadikit yung pisngi namin.
"I should make sure I can do it. Pero nakalimutan ko sabihin na you did a good job facilitating that emergency Council meeting."
Dahil sa sinabi ni Clinton, naalala ko na naman yung buong meeting. Kung paanong kahit na hindi na d-in-iscuss yung ibang hindi naman emergency, nagawa pa rin nila isingit sa discussion sa border situation.
Pati na rin yung ibang meeting at kung ilang classes ang na-pull out ako within two weeks dahil lang sa may kailangan akong kitain. Nabawasan lang nang nakauwi na si Mom. Almost back to normal na nang nakabalik na si Dad, Clinton's father.
Yun nga lang biglang ako na pumunta sa Great Aquamarine.
Nang maalala ko yung nangyari sa Aquamarine, napaisip ko ba kung dapat ko ba sabihin kay Clinton. Yung in-offer ni Charlotte Jones.
Pero hindi ko rin ginawa kasi kahit ako hindi pa sigurado.
Ni hindi ko nga alam kung paano n'ya ise-send yung picture ni Charles Jones. Mukhang medyo malabo na online since banned ata sa Great Citrine yung internationally used apps. May sarili pa nga silang apps, like a replacement for the ones banned in their country.
I don't know about email. Since sabi nga ni Charlotte Jones, monitored yung online activity nila. Which definitely sucks.
Mukhang kailangan ko na lang umasa na sa next conference na pupuntahan ko ay nandoon din s'ya.
"Gawin ba nating kwarto ni Vicky at Clint yung katapat ng atin?" Tanong ni Clinton na kinakamot yung bandang batok ni Clint.
"Bakit naman?"
"Sigurado kasi akong hindi si Clint huling pusa natin." Sagot ni Clinton na nagpatawa sa akin. "But they're our babies and it's not exactly fitting with me that they're just right around when we're making out."
