I was in beijing china doing my job for my company to growth more. I was about to create a letter to my boss to go to the Philippines for my partnership and investment with Zayn Jacksovich for business.

Aalis ako dito sa china once na maasikaso ang papeles dito sa kumpanya. Ilang araw lang din akong mananatili roon at kailangan ko lang tapusin ang trabaho ko dito sa china. Nandito ako sa office ko at gumagawa ng letter para sa boss ko dahil iiwanan ko muna ang kumpanya at makikipag kasundo sa business agreement namin ni Mr. Zayn Jacksovich.

nang biglang pumasok ang isa sa mga tauhan ko.

"Sir, Mr. Xuinyin wants to talk to you"

"Let him in"

"Yes sir."

Nang makapasok sya sa office ko agad nya akong kinausap.

"What is it Mr. Xuinyin?" I ask. Mr. Xuinyin is a managing director of this company at kapag may mga kailangan syang i-clarify sa business na ipa-plan ko, sya ang kinakausap ko the same with the other board directors.

"I just want to know if there are any changes or need to pay close attention to your plan regarding to put business agreement. I just wanted to help as part of this company" he ask.

"For that plan im leaving in china to make a business agreement between philippines and america" i answered.

"Hmm? What do you mean between philippines and america?"

"Mr. Zayn Jacksovich had their own standalone company in america and small business in the philippines... Before proceeding with the plan regarding the agreement between the two sides of the company, I will need to gain his trust so that his company can become even stronger, even ours."

"You're really flexible with that plan ha"

"For the good of both companies. Besides, mr. Zayn is also one of my closest friend"

"Hmm i see keep doing that. Anyway, i have to leave now, my princess is waiting at her school"

"Zhàogù zìjǐ" (take care).

After namin mapag usapan ang agreement agad na akong nag tungo sa office ni president para ibigay ang sulat. Kailangan itong ibigay ang sulat para ma-aware syang mawawala ako sa china ng ilang araw para sa pag kakasundo.

"I agree, i will take the rest of here while you are in philippines, don't worry about the company, the paperworks these are in good hands" said of president.

"Thank you sir"

After kong maibigay ang sulat ay kinabukasan agad akong nag tungo sa pilipinas.

Mga ilang oras lang ang nakalipas simula nung umalis ako ng china. Nasa airport ako ng sunduin ako ng mga tauhan ni dad

"Welcome back to the Philippines sir" my driver greet.

"Thank you" and get in the car.

My father was a chinese while my mother is a filipino. My lolo is the one I've been closest in the family since when i was a kid. Lolo and lola is a filipino, the Alvarez. They decided to move here in the Philippines since they don't like to live in china... its been a years simula nung umalis sila at nanirahan sa kanilang minamahal na bansa.

Matagal tagal na rin simula nang yumaong ang aking lola dahil sa kanyang sakit at pag katanda and i hope lolo still be fine with that.

I was about to headed home when someone jump in our way and the car stop immediately.

"Fuck! What was that!?" I shouted. Im sitting in the back of front seat. Middle seat of the car inshort.

"May biglang sumulpot sa daan sir, mukhang nag mamadali eh"

Nakita ko yung girl and yes i think she was in a hurry.. she look stressed tho. Nakita ko ang mga sinyales ng kanyang mukha at kamay nito for apologizing to jump out and quickly to leave.

"Kakaiba ang babaeng yun ah, hindi kaya late na sya trabaho nya? Or what.. nevermind" driver said at ako naman balik ulit sa tingin ng bintana na parang walang nangyari.

I'm still care for the future business of our company and nothing else.

When i got home i saw lolo sitting on his bench while reading the news papers.

"Lolo..." I happily greet him and napatayo sya para yakapin ako

"Oh apo, kumusta na? Ang laki mo na ah tapos gwapo pa manang mana sakin"

"Yes of course lolo nag mana ako sa inyo, anyway. Are you the only one here?"

"Hmm not really, madalas kasi dumadalaw dito ang mga apo ko at yung kapatid ng mama mo"

"Hmm i see"

"Kumusta na kayo sa china? Ok lang ba anak ko dun"

"Ow, you don't have worry about her she's totally fine. Naaalagaan naman kami ng maayos ni dad"

"Hmm good to hear... Alam ba ng mama mo na nandito ka sa pilipinas?"

"Yap, niyaya ko pa nga sya na pumunta dito and to visit you but she said susunod daw sila ni dad may kailangan lang daw muna silang tapusin na trabaho"

"Sana makasunod sila"

"I don't know baka pag papunta na sila dito eh pabalik na ako ng china"

"Eh? Why don't you stay here in a couple of days or week? Ngayon nalang ulit kita nakita simula nang mawala ang asawa ko" wait? Nag tatampo ba sya? Siguro kung mag sstay ako dito ng mga ilang araw eh sapat na yun para makasama ko naman sya kahit papano together with mom and dad. I calm breath and talk.

"Ok, i will stay here a couple of weeks and after that babalik na ako ng china for my business" i said calmly.

"Yaaannn!! Apo talaga kita"

Wala kaming ibang ginawa ni lolo ngayon kundi ang mag kwentuhan about sa journey namin simula nung hindi kami nag kasama. I don't know why im so comfortable to him kahit na hindi kami nag kakasama ng matagal.

Well.....
