WHEN OUR DAYS BEGAN

CHAPTER 7: Boiled Head

• CYON'S POV •

"How are you?" the Chairman's Voice

"I'm fine...papá." i said.

"How about your business?" kumunot ang noo ko sa tanong niyang iyon.

"Is that why you sent me here? To ask if my business is doing well?" nag aalangang tanong ko

"No, because you have things to do." sagot naman niya.

"If so, why are you asking those things?"

"Is it bad?"

I remained silent. "Nevermind—Then, why did you call me?" i asked.

"Attend the meeting tomorrow" He sighed and looked at me. "I hope you will fulfill the position i gave you in this company properly."

I sighed with annoyance "What time?"

"Cyon" there was a threaten in his voice.

"I repeat, what time?"

Bumagsak ang balikat niya "Nine am."

"Fortunately, I had nothing to do at that time."

"Good." he said shortly

Agad akong tumayo "So...can I leave now?" I asked "Do you have anything more to say or do?"

"Nothing"

"Then ... I'm leaving, bye"

"Abbi cura di te, figlio." rinig kong sabi pa niya. Di ko na lamang ito pinansin at itinutok ko na lang ang aking sarili sa pag-lalakad.

Napapikit ako sa naalala kong eksena kanina...

'Abbi cura di te, figlio.'

'Abbi cura di te, figlio.'

'Abbi cura di te, figlio.'

Paulit-ulit iyon sa utak ko habang nanlalabo ang aking matang nakatingin sa kawalan, nawala lamang iyon noong biglang tumulo ang kaunting luha na kanina pang gustong kumawala.

Tss...'Take care of yourself, son' ? what the heck? aalagaan ko ang sarili ko?

yeah...kasi ni minsan di niyo naman ako inalagaan.

I went to my small cellar to drink. Yeah... I always do this, coming here when I'm not okay. There were also some plants that gave me comfort and calm. This room exists solely to serve a different type of wine. I also have a billiard table so that I can enjoy myself with it when I'm bored.

I thought of Papa and my sister. They are my only hope. But that changed in an instant.

I sank down on the table and didn't realize that I had fallen asleep, so I woke up at five o'clock and heard my doorbell ring.

"Come in" sabi ko sa bisita ko.

Hawak ko ang folder ngayon...na bwibwiset na ako, gusto kong sumigaw, naiinis na ako, gusto ko nang sabunutan ang sarili ko at gusto ko nang itapon ang folder na ito.
