Zanniyah's POV
I'm now standing in front of Del Mundo's building.
Tiningnan ko Muna Ang buong gusali nito bago pumasok. Hindi na ako makapaghintay na makausap Ang lalaking iyon.
"Good morning, ma'am." Bati sa akin ng babae na nasa information desk.
"Good morning." Bati ko pabalik. "Is Mr. Del Mundo in his office at this moment?" Tanong ko.
"Do you have an appointment with him, ma'am?" Tanong nito sa akin.
"I don't have but this is an urgent miss." Pahayag ko na ikinatingin Niya sa akin.
"Can I get your name, ma'am?" She asks.
"Pls. Tell him. It's Zalliyah. Zalliyah Rios." Pagsisinungaling ko.
"I'm sorry liyah. But this is the fastest way I can do to talk with that man." Pabulong Kong sabi sa aking isipan.
"Pls. Hold on for a while ma'am. I'll just call Mr. Del Mundo's secretary." Sabi niya sa akin bago may tinawagan.
"Good morning, Mrs. Ramos..... There's a woman named Zalliyah Rios. She wants to talk with Mr. Del Mundo, ma'am........ She has no appointment but according to her, it's urgent, ma'am......... Ok, ma'am. Noted." Kausap niya sa sekretarya bago binaba Ang tawag.
"Ma'am, Mr. Del Mundo is currently outside of the country for a business trip." Sabi Niya sa akin. "But Mrs. Ramos said you can give your contact with us in case Mr. Del Mundo response to her email and wanted to have a meeting with you." Dagdag nito.
Wala akong nagawa Ng marinig iyon. Binigay ko Ang aking cp no.
"Thank you, miss." Pasasalamat ko bago umalis.
Hindi ko mapigilang huminga Ng malalim bago tulayang makalabas Ng building.
I thought before this day end malalaman ko na Ang katotohanan but it seems like Hindi nakikiayon Ang araw na ito sa akin.
Before I enter my car my phone rang.
"Good morning, Ysa. What is it?" I ask my assistant.
"Good morning, ma'am. Padron me for calling you at this hour but I'm afraid to tell you that we need you here in the office ASAP. It's about the construction of the new branch, ma'am." She said.
"Ok, give me 20 min and I'll be there," I said and end the call.
Zeke's POV
"herkese günaydın (Good morning, everyone)" sigaw Ni Akane na ikinatingin namin lahat sa kanya.
"It's too early for your childishness, Kane."pahayag ko Ng seryoso habang blangko siyang tinapunan Ng tingin.
"I just greet you, cousin. What's wrong with it?" Naka pout niyang sabi na ikinatawa Ng mga magulang ko at ni Lola Carina.
"You're tolerating this puerile, guys." Pahayag ko.
"Your mouth Zeke." Saway sa akin Ni Lola. "Stop being rude to your cousin." Dagdag nito.
"But grandma.."
"I don't want to hear any words from you, apo."pahayag Ni Lola.
"That's why you're my favorite, grandma. You always save me with that monster." Ngising Sabi nito at hinalikan si Lola sa pisngi sabay sabing "Good morning, again grandma."
"Kayong dalawa Wala talagang araw na Hindi kayo nagbabangayan." Natatawang Sabi Ni mom.
"That's their way of showing their love for each other, sweetheart." Pahayag Naman Ni dad na ikinangiwi naming dalawa Ni Akane.
"Love our ass," I said and drink my coffee.
"Your mouth Zeke. We're in front of the food." Pangangaral ulit Ni Lola sa akin.
"Btw, it's already 8:30 in the morning. Don't you have a plan to go in your offices?" Dad asks.
"I'll go there after my breakfast, uncle." Pahayag Ni Akane.
"Bakit Kasi naglasing na naman kayo kagabi? Tingan niyo. Na late kayong gumising." Mom asks.
"We're having fun, ante." Sagot Ni Akane sabay tingin sa akin. "Diba insan?" Nang-aasar na tanong Niya.
I'll just look at him sharply and didn't bother to answer his question.
"Just let them be, sweetheart. Malaki na ang mga iyan."pahayag Ni dad.
"Son, I heard you have a meeting with Mr. Lim today" Baling na tanong Ni dad sa akin.
"Yeah. It's about his plan to invest in our restaurant, Dad." I answered.
"Sounds good. Mr. Lim will be one of our big assets. If ever."
"Grandma, I thought you have check-up, today?" Akane asks out of nowhere to lola Carina.
"Mamaya pang 10 Ang schedule Ni mom, son. Your uncle Zach will drop us there." Pahayag Ni mom na ikinatango namin.
"Both of you." Salita ni Lola at tiningnan kami Ni Akane. "When will you give me grandchildren?" She asks suddenly which made me and Akane stop eating pancakes And looks at her.
"I'm getting older and I'm sick."
"Grandma, don't say that. Malakas pa Po kayo." Pagputol ni Akane Kay Lola.
"I'm serious, Akane." Pahayag Ni Lola.
"Sorry, grandma but I don't have any plan yet to marry Senna. Gusto ko munang ma enjoy namin Ang pagiging girlfriend and boyfriend." Pahayag nito. "Eh, si insan bakit Hindi natin tanungin?" Dagdag niya na ikinabaling nilang lahat sa akin.
"Sometimes I am thinking to hire gunmen to shoot you, Kane," I said sarcastically na ikinatawa Niya. "I'm done. I need to go guys. See you later " Sabi ko bago at tumayo para mabigyan Ng halik sa pisngi si mom at Lola at ngumiti muna ako Kay dad bago tumalikod.
"Hoi, Insan hindi mo pa nasagutan Ang tanong namin" pasigaw na Sabi Ni Akane.
"Shut up, moron. Answer it by yourself," I shouted back.
Rinig ko pa Ang tawa nito at ni mom bago ako tuluyang makalabas Ng bahay.
Zanniyah's POV
"Yza, is there no other way to make fast the transportation of the materials?" I ask while sitting on my chair.
"There's none, ma'am. We don't have a choice but to stop the construction later in the afternoon until the materials are delivered." She said.
"Bakit Kasi wala silang Alam na samantalang ipasara muna Ang daan ngayong araw?" Stress Kong tanong.
Nagkaroon Ng shortage sa supply Ng materyales at iyong inorder ko ay Hindi ma deliver sa araw na ito.
"Mayroon Po kasing vehicular accident na nangyari and it caused na naging mabagal Ang flow ng byahe."
"Fine but I don't want to happen this, again Yza." Sabi ko Ng seryoso.
"Yes ma'am. Naghihingi din Po Ng pamunahin Ang owner na binilhan niyo Ng materyales." Kanyang pahayag.
"Anyway, how's our target performance for this month? I didn't yet receive any report from you." I changed the topic.
"I'm just waiting for the report of our one branch in Pasay ma'am and I can send it to you tomorrow afternoon." Kanyang sagot.
"Good to hear that." Pahayag ko.
"Ay, oo pala ma'am, nagkita kami Ni Mrs. Gutierrez kanina, and she wants to order 5 boxes of cookies. She needs it on Friday."
"Where she will get her order?" I ask.
"Dito Po maam. Sabi niya Kasi mag papakulot siya Ng buhok Niya sa Friday."
"Thank you, Yza." Sabi ko. "You may go back to your table," I said.
Salon ang maliit na negosyo Ng aking magulang currently we have 3 branches and will go to 4 next month.
I also try baking and luckily I successfully have customers.
"Yza, is there anything you need?" I ask when I notice na Hindi pa siya umalis sa harap Ng table ko.
"Ma'am, can I go out at 10 later? Pupuntahan ko po Ng hospital sina nanay. Na admit Po Kasi iyong Isa kong pamangkin dahil sa taas Ng lagnat Niya." Pahayag Niya sa akin.
"Sure. And I can drop you there." I said and give he smile.
"Maraming salamat po, ma'am." Ngiti niyang pasasalamat sa akin bago bumalik sa kanyang table.
