Jessica
Acting CEO of Hotel Judin.
OIC in South East Asia Oil Company.
Representative of Dean Wong in Stocks Exchange in various countries.
And a newcomer on the list:
A mother.
Simula nang umalis ako ng Pilipinas almost a year ago, my life has changed.
Araw-araw ako napapatanong ng bakit.
Bakit ko to ginagawa lahat?
Pulis ako. That's my profession.
I don't have any knowledge sa negosyo.
I feel like I'm an idiot everytime I'll here business jargons.
Pag may nagjoke at natawa ang iba, di ko alam kung makikitawa din ako.
Nalulula pa rin ako sa mga numerong nakikita ko.
This is the first time I see numbers this big. And it's money.
And it's not even peso.
Kamusta na kaya ang asawa at biyenan ko?
Hindi ba sila pinapahirapan sa loob?
Tinigilan na kaya sila ni Luzviminda now that they are behind bars?
I am praying for them everyday.
Yung mga problems na naeencounter ko dito,
Nilalakasan ko na lang ang loob ko.
Iniisip ko na lang, mas malala sitwasyon nila kesa sa akin.
Pero mahirap talaga eh!
Imagine all that on your shoulders.
Everything's new.
Running all these business that each should be handled by someone with a degree but you, a former policewoman have to do it.
No lessons, sinabak agad sa gyera. May baril pero di mo alam gamitin.
Good thing Jeric is a patient teacher.
And then there's a growing baby inside you.
And then there's this self pity that everyday is slapping you.
Especially at night, lying in bed makes me really feel all alone.
That there's only a little chance that I can reunite with my husband, that this penitence has an end.
Dasal, at dasal lamg talaga ang nagpapagaan ng loob ko.
Anyways, ngayon na mas lumalim ang involvement ko kina Deanna,
It is only now that I fully understand my father in law.
He is not a colonizer, he is a samaritan.
A goddamn rich philanthropist.
To think na binitawan niya pa ang lahat ng pagaari niya sa Pinas nun ha.
He let Luzviminda assume that she's the victor.
There's no way a man that rich will let himself rot in jail.
Who knows what he is capable of doing?
Siya lang.
It lift my hope a bit.
Nabawasan lang ang worry. I will never be complacent. Not until I can touch, see and feel Deanna again.
