                - Chapter 11 -

NAPABALIKWAS ako ng bangon ng may narinig akong kumatok sa pinto.

Agad akong tumayo at binuksan ang pinto at nakita ko roon si mom.

"Good morning mom, what's wrong?" nakasimangot kong tanong

Nakapameywang siyang nakatayo.

"Xavier, kanina pa ako kumakatok rito sa pinto at sa wakas nagising ka na at pinagbuksan mo ako ng pinto." mataray na sagot nito

Nilamukso ko ang mukha ko sa asar.

"Mom, pwede bang si dad na ang pumunta, i'm so busy" saad ko

Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.
"No way! get up at sasama ka sa'kin," she said at iniwan ako

Nagmartsha akong pumasok sa loob ng kwarto ko at nagayos.

HOURS PAST................

WHERE HERE ALREADY, in front of the Xentro Quatro HeadQuarters. Nakasimangot akong pumasok sa conference room.

I saw my friends at nakangiti pa.

Umupo ako sa tabi ni Jethro.

"Bud, bad mood ka ata?" he whisper asked me

Bumuntong hininga ako.
"Mom, wake me up. Kaya asar na asar ako," sagot ko

Isa isa ng nagsidatingan ang mga iba pang investors at maya maya pa ay nagsimula na ang meeting.

Nakikinig lang ako sa kanila, dahil wala naman talaga akong balak makisawsaw sa usapan nila.

Puro sila usapan tungkol sa mga plano pa ng Xentro Quarto Business.

Hanggang sa natapos ang meeting at isa isa ng nagsi-alisan ang mga investors at naiwan na lang kami ng mga kaibigan ko at sina mom and dad.

Silence covered in the whole conference room hanggang sa basagin iyon ni Dad.

"The board members are now question about the new Xentro Quatro Businesses CEO's," aniya

Napatingin kami sa kanya.
"And?" Laurence mom asked

"They want to make sure that Xentro Quarto Businesses is still in the right hands in the future." Dad answered

Tita Ariella raised her eyebrows as she looked at dad.
"So what's wrong with that?" she questions

Dad leaned his head on the swivel chair.
"But as exchange with that," he took a deep breath. "The heirs should be announced next week or next month." he added

"We will settle tomorrow or the next day the announcement,that Xavier, Jethro, Laurence, Thirdy is the next heirs," mom commented

"I beg to disagree," sabat ng daddy ni Laurence

"Hangga't wala silang naipapakila na girlfriend, i'm wont give the Xentro Quarto Construction Company to Thirdy" sabad naman ng daddy ni Thirdy

"WHAT??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" sigaw ni Thirdy. "Dad, alam mo na ayaw ko ng mga responsibilidad na 'yan" reak niya

"You said you dont take any responsibility, right?" kwestiyonable nitong sabi. "So i can't let my company handed by you, Dy." turan niya

"Tito, marami na kaming nagawa para sa buong Xentro Quarto Businesses tapos ngayon kailangang may kapalit parin....." usal ko

Nagkibit balikat sila saka lumabas ng conference room, si dad lang ang naiwan.mukhang nagpasadya na magpaiwan.

"You heard Dy's dad right, Xavier?" dad said and stood up. "simple lang 'yan para sa inyo" dugtong pa niya
