Long Lost Daughter

16

Alam kong hindi papasok ngayon si Tine.

Sobrang nago-overthink ako, Grabe siguro naapektuhan siya masyado kaya hindi siya papasok ngayon, naiintindihan ko naman..

Nagpagawa ako ng mga favorite niyang tinapay sa lugar nila at pinadala ko nadin, sana magustuhan niya.

"Ma'am ako nalang po ang maga-assist sa inyo for today..for a reason that your p.a po is not on duty."

Tumungo ako at inabot sa kaniya ang mga papeles sa kompanya.

Wala ako sa focus ngayong araw, hindi ako sanay na wala si Tine.

Sana bukas nandito na siya. Nasanay ako, sinanay niya ko.

"uhm...paki palit 'yung ah..schedule ng meeting mamayang hapon" I said to office staff.

"Why ma'am?, is it important po ba?..." She asked.

"Why?, just do it."

"Ma'am bali your meeting po later is important, uhm..with Mr.Guerrero po."

Importante nga, pero wala talaga ako sa wisyo ngayon.

"Magha-half day ako, tell him i'm busy. He can understand that"
I told her.

----------

It' already 1 pm.

I'm preparing my things to go home and suddenly Celes came.

"Mommy.." She said in a low voice.

"ohh, you're here...There's a problem ba?" I asked her to know what her purposed here.

"hmm, nothing mom.." She smile a little and kiss me in my cheeks.

"O...kay, then---" She cuts me off.

"Here, for you mom.." She gave me a box.

"There's ah..your favorite chocolate.." She shy said.

"Really???, aww..My baby is so sweet" I hug her.

"I just want to...say sorry, for what happened" sabay na yumuko siya at lumipat sa iba ang tingin.

I see in her eyes the sincerity, i hope they get each other along.

"It's okay love" I hug her again.

"Let's go?" Inaya ko na siya umuwi tutal pauwi naman na talaga ako.

Magha-half day ako dahil gusto ko sana dumaan kahit sa tapat lang ng bahay nila Tine, kaso dumating si Celes.

----------

I want to see that Tine in my mom's office.

Because she's the p.a right?

Hindi ko alam kung saan napulot ni Mommy 'yang babae na'yan.

The first day we met, hindi na maganda ang mood ko sa kaniya.

I don't know, i just don't like her.

"Mommy..." I said in a low voice to make my plan good.

I gave her a box with her favorite chocolate in it.

She hugs me. Ily mom...

Hindi masulyap ng mga mata ko 'yung Tine na'yon.

Bakit wala siya?, Asan 'yon?

I'm faking my sorry and smile, hindi ako sanay makipagplastikan kay Mommy...

I wish we never met that poor Girl!
