ZAIDE TRAVIS
Nagpa-set ako ng appoinment with Mr. Rosales. Kinakabahan
man ay alam ko na siya dapat ang una kong kausapin sa
gagawin kong panliligaw sa anak niya.
“I thought I was going to meet the older Mondejo, your
grandfather. What a surprise, Mr. Mondejo.” Kinamayan
niya ako.
“Thank you, Sir. I’ll be honest. This isn’t about business. I’m sorry about last night. It was my fault that Chloe went home late. I took her to some place to watch the sunset, and we both lost track of the time.”
“Honestly, I don’t like what happened last night. Pero hindi rin tama ang naging reaksiyon ko. Pasensya ka na, nag-alala lang ako sa anak ko.”
“Sir, naiintindihan ko po. At humihingi po ulit ako ng
paumanhin. The truth is, I like your daughter. And with
your permission, I’d like to court her.” Tumayo siya at ibinulsa ang mga kamay habang nakatanaw sa labas ng glasswall ng boardroom nila.
“Alam mo bang pangalawa ka na sa nagpaalam na ligawan ang panganay ko? Are you familiar with Ethan Valdez?”
“Yes, Sir. Alam kong he’s Chloe’s best friend. Alam ko pong your families have been close since bata pa sina Chloe. But kahit saglit pa lang kaming magkakilala ni Chloe, you
can trust me. Taas-noo ko pong sasabihin sa inyo na mabuti
akong tao, that I have been raised well by a good family. My grandfather is a good friend of Mr. Mauro De Jesus, your
father-in-law, Sir.”
“Yes, I know your father and grandfather. I appreciate
that you came to me bago ligawan ang anak ko, but I hope hindi na maulit ang nangyari kagabi. Also, ayoko ng gulo sa
pagitan ninyo ni Ethan.”
Nakahinga ako nang maluwang sa sinabi niya. Before I left, he told me to see Chloe to tell her that everything was okay between the two of us. I took the time to get her a caramel frappe before seeing her, which, according to her IG, is her favorite.
“Z?! ” gulat na tanong nito sa akin nang pumasok ako sa
opisina niya. “Why are you here?”
“Someone told me that you’re still upset about last night.”
Napangiti ito ng tanggapin ang pasalubong kong frappe.
Ikinwento ko ang pag-uusap namin ng daddy niya at lalo
itong naging masaya sa balita.
Nang paalis na sa Rosales towers ay tumingala ako sa langit. I knew my dad was blessing me dahil hiniling ko sa
kanya na gabayan ako sa gagawin kong pakikipag-usap sa dad ni Chloe.
I knew Valdez may have the edge kasi sabay
silang lumaki ni Chloe, but as I recalled her smile when I
said goodbye to her that afternoon, I felt confident na mahal ako ng babaeng mahal ko.
