Me and My Lady Boss

Chapter 3

(Gabrielle's POV)

In Loving Memory of Henry Lorenzo B. Uy 🕊️

Sinindihan ko ang kandila at nilagay yun sa harap ng puntod ni Kuya. It's been 13 years since the accident happened.

I missed you so much, Kuyz.

"Tita Mommy!"

I smiled when I heard his voice. "Henry." Yep, Henry, after his father's name. Henry Joshua, my brother's one and only son. Too sad since hindi niya lang man nakitang Lumaki ang anak niya.

Hinalikan ako ni Joshua sa pisngi. "Sorry, na traffic kami, Tita Mommy." Sabi nito Saka nilagay na ang bulaklak sa puntod ng papa nito. "Hey, dad." Sabi nito.

I smiled as I looked at him. Kamukhang kamukha niya si Kuya.

"Hey, Gabrielle..."

Lumingon ako sa babaeng paparating.

Of course, it's Ate Michelle.

3 months after kuya's death Ay nanganak si Ate Michelle ng isang healthy baby boy, and that's Henry Joshua. Michelle Salamanca, Joshua's mom and my Kuya's  love of his life. Si ate Michelle ang kasama ni Kuya nung naaksidente ito, luckily, naka survive ito at si Joshua na noon ay dinadala nito.

"Ate."

At nag sindi ito ng kandila sa puntod ni kuya. Today was kuya's 13th death anniversary.

Then she let out a very deep sigh.

Up to this day, hindi pa rin sya tanggap ng pamilya ko. Kasi hanggang ngayun, sya pa rin ang sinisisi ni papa at mama sa pagka wala ni Kuya Henry.

Kuya Henry and Ate Michelle's love was forbidden since Kuya Henry was meant to marry a different girl that time. They were about to run away nung araw na yun, but then, things happened. They got into an accident, at namatay si Kuya.

Kuya Henry was arranged to marry David's older sister. Ayaw nila kay Ate Michelle because she was just a commoner.

Actually, Kuya Henry was the one who taught me to follow my heart at wag mag pa ka robot sa pamilya. Kaya nga eto I followed my heart and my dreams, kaya ayan, naitayo ko ang kompanya ko. My dad doesn't like the idea of me having my own company and being successful on the path I chose. Gusto niya kasi ako ang sumunod sa apak ni Kuya, ang maging CEO ng kompanya at maging robot ng pamilya.

"Tita mommy, are we going to ride your sports car?" Excited na Tanong ni Joshua.

I smiled. "Yes, of course naman." Sabi ko kaagad. He's talking about my Suzuka grey, Audi R8, my daily ride. Gustung gusto niya talaga ang sasakyan kong iyon, yan daw kasi sasakyan ni Tony Stark, Ironman.

"Henry's turning 12 in 3 months. I'm thinking if we could enroll him into a better school." Sabi ko habang nag lalakad kami palabas.

Napatingin agad si Ate Michelle sa akin.

"What? Why? Wala Namang problema sa mga paaralang pampubliko ah. And also, sa isang catholic school ko naman ipapasok si Joshua next year." Sabi nito na Mejo na offend sa sinabi ko. By the way, Isang public school teacher si Ate Michelle, she's teaching major subjects in Elementary.  Sa eskwelahan ding iyon naka enroll si Joshua, pero graduating na sya ngayun sa elementary. And yep, she's planning to enroll him sa isang catholic school sa Cavite.
