"Your father is currently in a meeting ma'am. But he said you should go wait in his office if you're willing to."


"Alright thanks, Bianca." I replied to my father's secretary before storming off.


Seryoso ba? May meeting sila sa gitna ng bagyo? Are you kidding me?

Napairap ako at napabuga ng hangin bago nag tungo sa elevator at umakyat papunta sa office ni Papa.

The employees kept on greeting me so I smiled and nodded a little, hindi na ako masyadong nagsalita dahil baka maannounce ko lang sakanila na magsi-uwi sila dahil bumabagyo.


I went inside my father's office. Kasing laki na ito ng isang bahay kung ako ang tatanungin.


There were huge glass walls showcasing the high-end city view. At dahil nasa 47th floor ng AGC bldg. ang office ni Papa ay kita narin ang mga ulap mula dito.


Pabalang akong umupo sa malaking office chair niya na nasa gitna ng mahaba niya ring black desk. Tska ko tinalikuran ang desk para tumingin sa malaking bintana. Mayroon namang mahabang sofa at iba pang upuan pero gusto ko talagang umupo sa office chair niya.


I enjoy the city view as billions of raindrops are capturing the high window walls of his huge magestic office.


Sino kaya ang mag mamana nito? I clearly won't be the one managing this in the near future.


Magiging doctor ako not a business woman. I might own few hospitals but everyone knows how I loathe the dirty hospital business in cities especially here in the capital. Damn the amount of bribery and unfair treatment to the individuals who lacks money and power when it comes to the medical bullshits here is countless.


If I ever own hospitals I promise to myself to put it somewhere remote, somewhere people cannot easily reach, somewhere only the needed and the poor could access.


I wouldn't waste all my precious years studying just to go and heal some spoiled ass ipad kid who whines every second about a damn video game, and some old hog who thinks he's the boss of everyone. That would be the worst case scenario for me.


Baka matanggalan rin ako ng lisensya at makulong dahil mapatay ko pa sa inis ang mga pasyenteng ganon.


But whatever, baka si kuya Rafael nalang din ang mag-manage nito.

I turned the chair facing my father's long black desk as I finished appreciating the view. There were piles of papers, files and our family- mostly my Mom's pictures.


Put then I saw a special picture resting on it.


I smiled bitterly when I realized who was in that picture. Feeling a pang of pain lingering in my chest.


"Well, hello there..." My voice broke making me swallow hard trying to ease the feeling of having some kind of lump in my throat.


I couldn't stare at the picture any longer without bawling my eyes so I decided to stand up and just walk around my father's office like a fool.


Mayroong tila dalawang hallway na papunta sa kung saan sa dalawang sulok ng silid. The last time I went here was about a year ago dahil may inutos si Papa, but I never really got the chance to explore this.


Dahil dakilang chismosa ako, I checked where the hallways lead to. The right hallway leads to two doors, which was a restroom and my father's bedroom here in the office cause most of the time especially if he's really busy hindi na siya nakakauwi. Nako baka may kabit na dinadala rito yon ah... Kidding, that workaholic man got no rizz bro.
