SUMMER
15 years had passed at hanggang ngayon wala pa din kaming balita kay autumn, kung na kidnapped man ito wala namang tawag mula sa kidnappers para makahingi nang ransome.
Even winter, wala din kaming balita sakanya at hindi man lang ito bumisita samin, though our grandparents called every month to assured us that she is doing fine.
And Rain? Well shes living independently and she is still studying and visit us every saturday.
"Miss Summer, kayo na nalang po ang hinihintay sa loob" I forgot may meeting pala ako with the board members.
As for me? I'm managing my own clothing company and I'm so lucky that both of my parents supported my chosen career.
"Thank u, jess" thats my secretary Jessa Dios, she's also a close friend of mine, but when we are inside the office we maintain a boss-employee relationship, and she understand it of course.
Nang makapasok ako sa loob, natahimik ang lahat parang kani-kanina lang ang ingay² nila.
"Good morning miss Summer"
"Good morning ma'am"
Kanya² nilang bati kaya tumango ako at sinenyasan silang maupo. Of course they sit down, what do you expect tatayo hanggang matapos ang meeting??...
"Good morning everyone, I assumed you already know why I gathered everyone today?" Tumango-tango naman sila, tinignan ko muna sila isa2 bago ulit mag salita.
"I checked our weekly finance and something caught my attention" seryosong sambit ko, nagsiyukuan silang lahat.
"And that something, caused a great damaged to our company, MY company" tinaas ko ang boses ko, stress na naman ako, umagang-umaga palang.
"I expect the Chief of Finance will give me an explanation?" Tumingin ako sa babaeng kanina pa nakayuko at hindi man lang ako titignan.
"Ms, Lopez? Im sure you heard what I had said?" Tumingin ito sakin nang nanginginig, I didn't do anything yet, kinakabahan na Siya.
"I-- uh, well"
"I can't understand you Ms. Lopez, talk formally, this isn't the time blabbering like an alien"
"Where did the 5 million pesos go?" Malamig na tanong ko dito, ayaw na ayaw ko sa lahat ang tinatraidor ako at maapektuhan ang mga taong naka paligid sakin. I have employees to pay and that 5 millions is a great loss for us, for me.
"I'm sorry miss, I didn't check the record for this week"
"Tsk, I will let it slide for now, but I expect you will report to me later afternoon" tumango ito sakin.
"and I assure everyone that I will not tolerate again if this happen, I don't want any snake for my company" banta ko sa kanila, hindi naman ako naka tanggap nang reklamo o ano paman, aba dapat lang, pinaghirapan ko itong mapalago sa tulong nang mga mapagkakatiwaan kung tauhan at hindi ako papayag na may hihila sakin pababa.
"That's for today, meeting adjourn" nauna na akong lumabas sa conference room, naramdaman ko naman na sumusunod sakin si jess.
"You want coffee miss?" Tanong niya bang makarating kai sa opisina ko
"Yes please" stress na sabi ko, nang lumbas na ito sa opisina ko, napahilot ako sa sintido.
*Knock²
"Come in"
Pumasok ang babaeng pinakanahalaga sa buhay ko.
"Mom" tumayo ako at sinalubong si mommy
