Arranged Marriage With A Philanderer

C H A P T E R 6:

Atharra POV

Mga tunog ng camera ang naririnig ko paglabas ko ng kotse.

"Let's welcome the person behind the Sapphire Hotel, Ms. Atharra Sapphire Lewiston."

It's been two long years that past after my hardship to establish my own company.

I'm with my family to celebrate the opening and cutting of ribbon ng Sapphire Hotels, I planned to open first the main branch of my hotel. Tomorrow and the next day, the two branch will be opened. I already have my staff and employees here in the main branch but the other two branch doesn't have that's why I already had my assistant to prepare for the interview for new employees.

No one can take my happiness from me from today onwards, there's no one who can ruin the mood I have right now. Everyone is looking at me feeling proud of my success and for attaining my dreams.

"Congratulations Ms. Lewiston, you deserve those achievements."

"Thank you Ms. Caze, please enjoy the party."

There's a lot of people approaching me to give their congratulations. I can't help to feel joy in my heart, this is my dream, to have my own office & company and now iyong mga pangarap ko ay unti unting natutupad. I named my company Sapphire because for me, it is a gemstone na kailangan kong alagaan. A Sapphire symbolizes katotohanan, friendship, walang pasubaling pag-ibig, selflessness, decision, power, wisdom and gentleness.

It's time for the cutting of ribbon, my father is joining me. While we are cutting the ribbon, the sounds of the cameras clicking is what you can hear at the venue also with the people clapping their hands.

"Congratulation miss Lewiston. Let's give her a round of applause."> host

My assistant wanted to give me the mike but I decline so he's the one speaking.

"Thank you everyone. Let's proceed inside to celebrate the opening of Sapphire Hotel."

Pumasok na kaming lahat sa loob ng hotel dahil sa loob gaganapin ang program and the foods for the quest are also there.

"Everyone, let's give the platform to miss Lewiston."> host

Clap clap clap clap

"Thank you, hmmm I'm so happy to see you all today attending and joining me with this precious moment. First of all, I thank God for this blessing he had given me. To my family who supported me all throughout my journey, thank you so much. Your assistance and advices that made me who I am today, thank you so much and I'm not going to be weary saying thank you. To all my investors, thank you so much for believing and trusting in me, you are not going to regret investing in my company. And to all my guest who attended, thank you so much. I hope you will continue to support me."

"Thank you miss Lewiston, that was a great inspirational speech."> host

"For the information of everyone, the buffet is ready. Enjoy everyone."> host

I requested a buffet meal para naman ma-enjoy ng mga bisita ang pagdalo nila and I wanted to share the blessing I recieved. I went to my father and mommy Elise to hugged them.

"Dad, mommy thank you for being with me throughout the years until now."

"It's our pleasure to be one of your inspiration and we are proud that we are the one who guided you and supported you. We love you Princess."

"Thank you Dad, mommy."

"Congratulations ate, we are happy for you."

"Thank you lil brothers."

"You know what ate, we wanted to be trained by you para we can help dad manage his business. What do you think ate?"

"Sure, that would be nice, so that I can always see your improvements."

"Oww it's going to be exciting."

"Let's see if you can still say that after your first training."

"Is it that hard ate?"

"It's depends on how will you deal with it."

"I'm starting to feel goosebumps."

"Hahahaha seriously, don't be scared. I'm here to guide and support you the way dad, mommy and mom did to me."

"Thanks ate."

"No problem, now go and grab some food."

I wanted to guide my brothers para hindi sila maging irresponsible sa mga work and responsibilities nila sa family and also sa company ni dad. I want them to learn something that's why I will let them do the works ng pinaka mababang employee sa company which is janitor. Unti unti nilang makukuha ang position na nararapat para sa kanila. I want to teach them na hindi lahat ng gusto mo ay agaran mo itong makukuha or agarang mapapa sayo. They need to work really hard para sa kahit anong position na gustuhin nila dahil hindi naman nila makukuha ito kung hindi nila pinagpaguran.

I wanted to educate those young people to dream high, huwag kang tumigil mangarap dahil sa pangangarap mo ay hindi mo napapansin na unti unti pa lang natutupad lahat ng mga pinapangarap mo. Pero ang gusto kong malaman niyo ay lagi kang mag-umpisa sa pinakamababa para sa pagdating ng panahon na nasa itaas ka na ay hindi ka magiging gahaman, hindi ka mapagmataas dahil naranasan mo ang mga naranasan ng mga nasa baba mo. Kapag naging isa ka ng may ari ng isang kumpanya ay masasabi mong, I also went through all the hardships and in that way, you can inspire your employees.

"Alam mo princess, your mom is proud of you and your achievements. Give her a call later okay."

"Yes dad I will."

"You know what princess, I never thought that I will have a daughter who is capable in doing hard works and also an independent one because all I thought is that, only your brothers will pursue business. I thought you would prefer modeling than business."

"Dad, since I was little I always dreamed on having my own company and business. I won't settle down on non-permanent work."

"That is a good decision princess."

"Yes dad, and I have plans in going international business."

"I know you can do all that, you are strong and brave."

"Thank you Dad, mommy for always supporting me. I love you both."

"We love you too princess."> Mommy

"Excuse me mommy, dad I will call mom. I'll be back later."

"Okay, go princess."

______________________

Umalis ako sa table namin at lumabas sa may mini garden ng hotel. Let's call my mom.

Ngunit may ginagawa ata ito dahil naka tatlong ring syaka niya ito sinagot.

("Hello Princess pasensya ka na at nasa banyo ako kanina. Anak kamusta. Namiss kita anak.")

"Okay lang mom, I miss you too."

("Mabuti anak, napatawag ka, may problema ba?")

"Mom, I did it."

("You know that I'm so proud of you anak.")

"Thank you mom, I love you ."

("I'm sorry that I am not there to support you, but I know that you can do everything alone.")

"It's okay mom, soon you'll see my company."

("Oo naman anak, at medyo busy din kasi sa restaurant ngayon eh.")

"Sabi ko naman kasi sayo mom na kumuha ka ng makakasama mo para hindi laging ikaw ang gagawa ng lahat. Dapat magpahinga ka din minsan."

("Oo anak, maghahanap na ako ng kasama. Oh siya sige na anak at madami pa akong gagawin. I love you anak.")

"I love you too mom, bye."

After namin mag usap ni mom ay pumasok na ako. Siguro kakain na lang muna ako, medyo nagutom ako eh. Anyway, nakabalik na ako sa table namin but mommy and dad are not here but it's okay, siguro may mga kausap lang silang guest or clients. Pupunta muna ako sa may buffet table. Hmmm mag- dessert na lang yata ako and wine.

"Ate, why didn't you tell me that you want food so that I get it for you."

"It's okay Duke, I'm fine. You go back to your friends."

"We'll accompany you ate." Meron din pala dito itong si Luke.

"Okay, fine then you should get some for us."

"Okay ate, we will get everything."

"Yes Duke, if you can consume all."

"Ate naman eh, I don't want to get fat."

"Haha, okay okay. Just pick some."

"Yes ate, we'll follow you at the table."

"Then I'll go first."

My brothers are sweet whenever they're with me, and they are clingy too but I love everything about them. I'm hoping na sana if ever na magkaroon na sila ng girlfriend ay hindi sana magbago pakikitungo nila sa akin and because of them hindi ako nangungulila kay mom and my best friend. I missed them so bad but I need to be strong and my success is for them too. I'll wait until the right time for us to reunite.

Success may come late so be patient. It may come around you the time you did not expect.
