"Dad, meet Samantha. Samantha my Dad. Architect Hanzel Duke Ramazzotti." Wow what a beautiful name his dad has! His Dad gave me a beso. "Hmm, looks like my notorious jerk, and play boy son has found his girl?" I was shocked by his words, I immediately shook my head. "Naku hindi po..." I am shy, I am so sure I am red as tomato. His mouth gaped. "Dad, Miss Ruiz is my secretary. Stop with your imagination. Tsk."

"Oh, I see." His Dad said in a mocking tone. Like he doesn't believe on what is his son saying. "Yes, so Dad. Let's go inside instead." And when we got inside I was in awe as I roam my eyes around. Is this his kind of condo? Para namang bahay na talaga to sa laki eh?

"So, Samantha dear. Tell me 'bout yourself." Nahihiya akong bumaling at ngumiti sa ama ni Sir Eros. "Actually Sir, I am an architect. I worked for my degree for like almost 4 years? But then, I was left with no choice when the company I was working with got bankrupted." I wonder how are my officemates and friends in our province doing? If they got a work? Or did Leslie left for Jordan? "Oh that's too sad, but surprising. How did you not get a job that is related to your degree if you an experience? For sure you're great..."

"Damian, diba ay construction company at related sa engineering and architectural field ang mga business ng mga kaibigan mong sila Greg? You can refer her?!" Si Sir Eros na inaayos na ang mga pinamili ay naiinis na bumaling sa amin ng ama n'ya. "They're not yet looking for employees."

"It's okay po, Sir I'm okay with my work naman. I'm more grateful." Sabi ko at ngumiti. "Still, sayang. Ah! Do you paint? I have a lot of works!"

"Opo! I actually miss painting but I got no time for it."I said as a matter of fact. Sa totoo lang nasali rin isang beses ang paintings ko sa isang competition noon sa baranggay namin, I won 3 or more than 3 competitions but sadly, I stopped when I was in college na. Nag working student kase ako para matustusan ang pag aaral, dahil hindi naman sapat ang kita nila Mama.

"Oh really? Damian should bring you to our house, we will get along when it comes to art and design. Ipapakita ko sayo ang mga obra ko. I will also give you some materials for painting!" The whole time I was inside Sir Eros' condo ka usap ko lang ang tatay nito.

We talked a lot about painting and architecture. And Sir Eros couldn't relate. Naririndi na siguro sa walang katapusan naming pag uusap ni Sir–ah I mean Tito Hanz. He wanted me to call him that way, nakaka tanda daw kase masyado ang Mr. Ramazzotti. We laughed so hard as we shared our experiences in architecture. Mula simula hanggang dulo.

But I noticed, everytime we talked about mother, father and family Sir Eros would get away from topic. Iwas na iwas s'ya kaya I tried not to conclude topics about personal matters. Kumain muna kami at sandaling pag uusap tungkol sa ilang trabaho sa opisina bago ako umuwi. Sir Eros even insist to send me home but I was confident I can go home myself so he let me.

He booked me a grab so I don't have choice. Pagka uwi naman ay nag linis muna ako bago naligo, it took me just 30 minutes to finish bathing. I wore a simple and plain pair of pajamas, I brush my hair and slowly put myself in the bed. But I wasn't sleeping yet, not when I haven't call my family yet. So I sat up and browse my phone and give Jenna a call.

She answered immediately. "Hello? Teh?" I still can't believe!!! Hah! Finally my favorite sister is talking to me! "Si Papa?" Unang bati ko. "Tulog na, inenjectionan kase ng pampa kalma at nagwawala kanina gusto ng umuwi. Pero okay na naman na."

"Ikaw ate? Naka uwi ka na?"

"Oo, kaka uwi lang. Ikaw ang bantay?" Tanong ko rito. "Hm, opo si Mama kase nagpapa hinga sa bahay at ilang araw ng walang ma ayos na tulog." I nodded despite the fact that we're just talking over the phone. That's the familiar silence again. I wanted to say sorry yet I couldn't talk. "Ate... Gusto ko sana mag sorry." I chuckled, the bratty sister is apologizing? "Ate naman! Alam mong ang cringe na neto sa'kin eh! Makinig ka na lang!" Natatawa man ay umu-o na lang din ako at nakinig.

She is really serious in apologizing eh? "Alam mo namang ka immaturan ko lang yon, I only think of myself. Syempre bunso ako, I need some attention. Kaso wala eh, feeling ko mag isa ako. But then." I heard her sighed heavily. "I realized my wrongs and mistakes. I promise not to do it again. Basta patawadin mo lang ako sa lahat ng ka suwailan ko."

Despite her seriousness, I couldn't help but joke. "Oh English! Pak! Best English kana n'yan no? Spokening dollars ka na?" Natawa naman ito sa kabilang linya. We shared the laughing before I also asked for apology, I admit I was wrong for not trusting her and ruling her life when I'm really not her Mom.

Pagkatapos rin ng mahabang tawagan na yon ay tumawag din ako sa kina Lara at Alisha. Just the usual, kamustahan, palitan ng I love you at I miss you. I also talked to Mama kahit saglit. Patulog na raw sana s'ya ng marinig ang pag uusap namin mag ka-kapatid.

"Lara, please lang maintain ang gamot ng Papa please. Mag papadala ako."

"Naku ate, kahit wag na! Hindi ka pa naman sumasahod eh! Saka may pera ako para sa maintenance ni Papa! May ipon din naman sina Ali at Jen. Saka, Ina-apply ko sa charity ang case ni Papa kaya malaking tulong yon."

"Wag mo ng kunin ang pera ni Jenna at Ali. Babayaran na lang kita pag sumahod na ako, pero mag papadala pa rin naman ako at may naipon naman akong pera." Wala ng nagawa pa si Lara kundi sumunod na lang din ng utos ko.
