Loving the Rejection (Psychology Series #2)

CHAPTER 31

I removed my jacket and looked at the window. The whole city was shining because of the lights and buildings. I rested my head. I was amazed by the view. Australia is a good country but Philippines will always be my home.

"It looks like you already accepted the offer to work here in the Philippines," I heard Jullius.

I didn't bother to look at him, I was busy admiring the city. Parang mas madami na yata ang mga building ngayon compared noon, ilang taon na ba akong hindi naka-uwi? 4 years? it's been a long time.

"Maganda ang offer ng Hospital niyo sa akin," sagot ko saka lang ako lumingon sa kanya.

Jullius is now driving, siya ang sumundo sa akin sa airport kanina. Well, pinauwi ako ng hospital nila so it means reponsibilidad niya akong ipag-drive at ihatid ngayong gabi.

"He looks so tired," Jullius looked at the back.

I looked at my 3-year-old son who's now sleeping in the back seat, hugging his favorite toy, a dog. I smiled while I was admiring him, he wanted to be in the back seat alone, at the age of 3, my Tylon is so independent.

Bumalik ulit ang tingin ko sa bintana. Apat na taon, sa loob ng apat na taon sa Australia ko pinagpatuloy ang pangarap ko, it wasn't an easy journey, I had a hard time since I have a son, but since Tylon is independent medyo gumaan nang mag 1 year old siya.

"He looks like his father, very Valiardo, from head to toe," Jullius let out a chuckle.

I wouldn't deny it. Tylon looks like his father so much, he's like a little version of him. Sobrang mestizo at kayumanggi ang mga mata, minsan ay nakatitig lang ako sa mga mata niya at naaalala ko ang taong may gaanong kulay ng mata.

"He's now the CEO of FV Construction and I heard that he's planning to run for Senator this year."

I acted like I didn't care about it. Ang tagal na rin na wala akong balita sa kanya, ang social media niya daig pa nabubulok. Well, I stopped stalking him 2 years ago, walang saysay.

"Anyways, sa condo kayo mag-stay for 20 days, don't worry I already paid it. Stay there while you're still looking for a good apartment for you and Tylon."

Tumingin ako sa kanya at sumingkit ang mata.

"Wow, thank you, ninong," I joked.

I never thought that Jullius and I will be close friends. For the last 4 years he always visiting me and my son, he's a Pilot kaya kapag nahihinto sila sa lugar namin ay dumadalaw niya. I'm so grateful to him, especially when I asked him not tell to anyone that I have a child.

Huminto kami sa isang hotel. Dalawang maleta lang naman ang dala namin, siya ang nagdala non habang buhat ko si Tylon, tulog na tulog. Naka-sando na lang dahil pinagpapawisan kahit naka-aircon naman sa kotse.

"Here's the passcode, just call me if you need something and please visit our hospital, I'll tell my Dad that you're already here in the Philippines," he said before he put down our luggage.
