CHAPTER 30: PREPARE

Vianca's POV

I'm currently in the garden, enjoying the peaceful and quiet atmosphere when I heard my sister's voice.

"Ate, may tumawag sa'kin." She said while heading towards my direction.

"Who?" Tanong ko kahit hindi ko alam kung bakit niya ito sinasabi sa'kin. I assume it has something to do with me, or Hyacinth.

"Your ex." She answered and paused as if she's waiting for my reaction.

Clio? Why?

"Silas Floirendo." Vera answered which gave me a disappointment. I almost forgot that Clio isn't my ex. She's courting me when I told her I have a boyfriend.

"And what about him? If he's still on his business until this day, tell him to fuck off." Walang interes na sagot ko. I have no time for games. Matanda na ako at may anak na.

"Well, I can't do that because his business is your business." Sagot ni Vera na nakakuha ng atensyon ko. "If you can remember, dad is friends with his dad. And the Floirendo family is known in the corporate world. So dad asked a favor to the Floirendo family na i-guide ka sa pagpapatakbo ng hotel. So.. it's a reunion for you two."

Ugh. No way.

"Give me his contact number." I said.

I'll tell him I can't do it right now. Wala pa ako sa tamang wisyo. Dad just passed away and Clio's married. Hindi na dapat kasama sa iisipin ko si Clio but I can't dictate my mind.

"Sus si ate, nakita lang yung singsing bothered na." Nang-aasar na wika ni Vera. She even chuckled humorously.

"Sinong hindi mabo-bother? I'm planning to introduce Hyacinth to her and I've just discovered she's married. And if she's married, kailangan ko ring kausapin ang wife niya about this." I stated frustratedly.

I don't want her wife to feel that I'm trying to ruin their relationship.

"Are you really sure she's married?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ni Vera. "Don't jump into conclusion. Hindi porque may singsing ay kasal na agad."

"Magsusuot ka ba ng singsing kapag hindi ka pa kasal?" Buwelto ko sa kapatid.

"Oo." She proudly answered. "Kung ayaw kong may aaligid sa'kin. Isa pa, 'di ba nasa'yo yung contact number ng kaibigan niya? Why don't you ask her.. or let's just check her social media account. Baka naka-upload yung wedding pictures nila-" I cut her off.

"No." I stopped her. "Ako na. I'll talk to Miss Divata. I-forward mo na rin sa'kin yung contact number ni Silas." Saad ko saka padabog na umalis.

Talking to Clio is one of the reasons why I came back here. Hindi ko alam kung bakit sa isang iglap lang ay umaatras na ako. I thought of it too, that what if she's married. Ang nasa isip ko ay kakausapin ko sila ng wife niya. But what happened now? Parang hindi ko sila kayang harapin.

I first contacted Silas. Walang pinagbago sa kanya. He's still the playboy I met years ago. I told him my concern and gladly, naintindihan niya. Pero gusto parin niyang magkita kami para i-discuss ang mga concern niya regarding our hotel. Our meeting is next week.

Now, I'm trying to contact Miss Divata. Kung hindi ko gagawin ngayon, kailan pa, right?

I dialed her phone number. It was immediately answered. Oh gosh. I'm not prepared for this.

"Hello, Miss Divata speaking. How may I help you?" Masiglang bati ni Miss Divata sa kabilang linya.

"Hello, Miss Divata. This is Miss Fabroa." I answered nervously.
