A Place In His Arms (MASVEDO SERIES 3)

Kabanata 39

"Zaid, do you really need to buy an airline?" Mahinant tanong ko sabay sulyap sa anak na nasa backseat.

Zaid nodded and hold my hand. "Yeah, I'll name it after you."

Imbes na maging masaya napangiwi nalang ako. "Kahit 'wag na." Maasim na sabi ko kaya bahagya siyang natawa.

I don't really understand why he'll buy an airline. Hindi ko alam kung nagsasayang lang ba siya ng pera o ano. It's investment yes, but he already has a giant company that is known all over the world. He's a young billionare and he still wants invest in other kind of business?

"Let's buy an island? Well I know a real estate company. I must call Trey." Napangiwi ulit ako saka hindi na siya sinagot ulit

"Donate mo kaya pera mo kung nagsasawa ka na?" Pabalang na sagot ko matapos ang ilang minutong katahimikan.

"That for our children's future. And mind you, I donate." Napairap ako saka napatingin nalang sa labas.

Ilang oras lang nakarating na kami sa labas ng airport na bibilhin niya. It's a huge airport. I don't understand why Zaid would buy if he can create his own. Agad niyang binuhat si Zed saka hinawakan ang kamay ko. Sumunod naman ang mga body guards ng pumasok kami.

"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Varde, this way please." Salubong ng isang staff.

Mr. and Mrs. Varde?

"Daddy I wanna see planes." Sabi ni Zed.

"Later Zed." Agad na sabi ko kaya napayakap nalang siya sa leeg ng ama.

All in all this airport is clean and spacious. Parang gusto ko na rin ang ideyang bibilhin 'to ni Zaid. If you are indeed a businessman, you always want to take a risk and evolve. This is nice.

"Good Morning, take a seat please." Sabi ng medyo matanda na owner ata.

Nag-usap sila tungkol sa pagbili ni Zaid. Nakikinig naman ako at tahimik lang rin si Zed sa kandungan ng Daddy niya. This is so expensive, nagsisi ako kanina na gusto kong bilhin niya nga ito. Ang mahal mahal, expected but damn. Pero pumirma lang si Zaid kaagad na parang piso lang ang gagastusin niya.

"I'll let my lawyer fix everything about this." Seryosong sabi ni Zaid bago sila nagkamayan. Nakaipagkamay narin ako kasi naglahad ng kamay sa akin.

"I'll tour you around Sir." Sabi niya bago kami samahan papalabas.

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit binenta 'to. Parang okay naman, wala namang problema. Or bankrupt?

"Why are they selling it?" Bulong ko kay Zaid kalaunan.

"They won't sell it, but I offered trice than it's price so they did." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

Oh my God. Such a clever businessman. Parang first class kasi ang airport. This is really a good investment.

"Daddy do you have plane? Can I have one too?" Inosenteng tanong ni Zed nang matanaw namin ang mga eroplano.

"Yeah I have, but the all planes that you can see here are already yours." Napanganga si Zed sa pagkamangha saka napapalakpak.

Hindi na ako magtataka kung masanay si Zed na nakukuha ang gusto. I want my son to earn his own and be contented but it's really impossible. He will surely grow as an elite and expensive guy, just like his Dad.

Isang oras kaming naglibot sa buong airport bago nagpasyang kumain sa malapit na Italian Restuarant. Mabuti nalang casual ang damit ko ngayon, kung hindi magmumukha akong basahan.

Hindi pa ako nakakaupo napansin ko na ang pagtingin sa amin ng ilang mga babae. Napakunot ang noo ko pero hindi ko na pinansin. They seems to know Zaid.
