Nathan Craig Juariz POV

"Hello, Roan? What's the matter?" I just finished touring Austine around the house ng makatanggap ako ng tawag mula kay Roan.

"Sir, there are some issues with our Tagaytay branch that needs your urgent presence. Engr. Leon Dela Cuesta wants to meet you tomorrow as soon as possible." Sabi nito sa kabilang linya.

My brows furrowed after hearing his report. Paanong nagka-issues? I gave them proper instructions and details. Three months ago, we agreed to open a branch there in Tagaytay and I had the best people I could have for this project.

I sighed. "How long do I have to be there?"

"Around a two weeks, sir." Sagot nito. Two weeks?! I just had my son back and now I have to leave him again? Parang kinain ko lang lahat ng pangakong ginawa ko na makabawi kay Noah. I can't bare to lose him again.

"Okay. Prepare my villa there in Tagaytay, I might bring my son with me." Utos ko dito. I checked my schedule and saw that I was supposed to fly tommorow to Japan. Ito yong dapat na flight ko yesterday but my family came so I had no choice but to move the date. Right now, I have to move it again. Damn.

"And also, move my meeting in Japan. I'll meet Atty. Yakazaki Nao after I fix Tagaytay branch's issue. Just send him a gift and explain the situation, Roan. You know what to do.Bye." Dagdag kong utos dito. Mr. Yakazaki is an important business partner there in Japan but I know he'll understand since he had ditch me a couple of times too.

"Yes, sir. Have a good day, sir. Bye."

After the line went off lumabas ako ng kwarto at pumunta sa kwarto ni Noah. I left Austine and Noah there.

"Hey." Pagtawag ko sa kanilang atensyon. I saw how Austine's expression changed. He frowned soon as he saw me. Seriously? What's his problem? Kanina ko pa 'to napapansin simula ng i-tour ko siya sa bahay.

"Austine, pack some clothes that can suffice a two weeks vacation. I'm going to bring you guys with me to Tagaytay. " I announced as I walk towards them. And now, Austine face lit up.

"You're going to bring us to work, daddy? Is that okay po? Can we really come with you?" My son asked in a hopeful tone. I kinda feel bad now.

"Yup. There's a lot of fun things there. We'll be going tomorrow morning, Austine. You better prepare your things now." Mabilis itong tumayo ng makalapit ako at naglakad pa distansya sa akin.

"O-opo, sir. Haha. Sabi ko nga mag-aayos na ako. Magdadala po ba ako ng bikini sir?" He asked stupidly.

"What bikini? Gusto mo bang magkasakit sa ginaw doon? As much as possible bring thicker clothes." Sabi ko dito at napa-ah lang siya.

"Eh sir wala po kasi akong mga jacket." Nahihiya niyang sabi. I could see a faint pink spreading across his cheeks. Napapansin ko na palagi itong nagbu-blush tuwing nahihiya o nagagalit kaya sometimes I know his mood. He's too easy to read. I smiled to myself thinking of that.

"I'll ask Roan to buy some for you. For now just pack your clothes. Noah, help your mommy pack his things. I'll be in your lolo's study."

After I said that, lumabas na ako ng kwarto para pumunta sa stuy room ni papa. I don't know how I can say mommy naturally without cringing. Yes, it was awkward at first but I immediately got used to it. I don't know why it feels so right.
