“ Nanay Mila alis na po ako.yong lunch po ni madam ha.baka uwi po ako ng maaga.” Sabi ko kay nanay mila.
“Hwag mo na alalahanin si madam akonna bahala sa kanya.” Sagot nya .
“Salamat po.sige po bye bye.” Nag lakad ako palabas ng village andoon na yong suki kong taxi si kuya imong.
“Hello po kuya” bati ko
“Good morning ma’am. Alis na po ba tayo?” Si kuya.
“Opo “ tipid kung sagot.
Traffic dito sa may malibay pasay kaya halos isang oras ang biyahe namin.pag dating ko wala pa si doc kasi 10am pa naman mag bukas ang clinic.nag linis muna ako ng kung ano ano lang para mag libang, ganito lang yong routine ko araw araw.maya maya pa narinig ko cellphone ko.
Mama calling… hello mama kung maganda?”
“Hello anak.Kumusta ka na dyan?”
“Ok lang po ako ma, kayo po Kumusta?”
“Ok lang din kami ng kapatid mo nakalipat na pala kami dito sa bago nating bahay, naku anak ang ganda”
“Talaga po mama? Buti naman at nagustuhan nyo.”
“ abay siempre mabait naman pala itong bo— este amo mo”
“Opo mabait po talaga sila madam at sir Allan”
“Anak ikaw bay uuwi sa birthday ko?”
“Ah ma, suaubukan ko po,mag paalam po ako kay doctora at kina sir”
“ ok sige. Oo nga pala may darating akong espisyal na bisita sa birthday ko.”
“Sino po? Naku baka nagpapaligaw na kayo mama ha? Kailangan ko muna kaliskisan yan.darating din ba sila kuya?”
“Oo daw at sila ang mag luluto.”
“Sige po mama at magpapadala ako ng pera para pang handa nyo po”
“Ay naku hwag na at meron na kaming nabili”
“Talaga po? Aba! Mukhang pinag hahandaan nyo yang espisyal nyo bisita ha?”
“ ah Oo sya nga ang gumastos eh.”
“Ano ho? Hala ka mama baka naman kung ano na yan?”
“Ano ka ba hindi ang bait kaya nito at pogi pa tiyak na maganda lahi ng mga apo ko.”

“Hay naku si mama nag drama pa.sige na po at andito na si doctora”
“Sige bye bye” “bye ma”. At binaba ko na ang tawag, ang saya ko at nakalipat na sila mama sa bagong bahay namin,although di ko pa nakikita ang itsura ng bahay.
“ good morning po doc” bati ko kay doc
“Good morning din,ano schedule ko today?”
“You have 3 patients po from 10:30am to 12nn. At may schedule din po kayo ng 2pm sa OR with doc alcantara. Name of patient Rizza Altantay.” Mahaba kung sabi sa kanya,
“ thanks Melanie. Inform me when the first patient arrive,i make few phone calls” at pumasok na sya sa loob ng clinic.
Haaay sa wakas pa uwi na rin ako. Kapagud kahit halos naka tunganga lang naman ako today.palabas na ako ng clinic parang may nakita akong familiar na tao. Susundan ko sana pero biglang nawala. Parang si Aiden yon ah pero bakit hindi sya nagpa ramdam sakin, hala aka multo yon , jusko naman . Teka bat ko ba iniisip na multo yon? Haaaist bahala sya kung ayaw nya sakineh di hwag. Nakita ko si kuya imong sa di kalayu an.
“Good evening ma’am, uwi na po kayo?”
“Opo kuya, tara na po?” Hinatid nya ako sa bahay.
Aiden pov.
When i left the Philippines, it pains me so much to left her behind. While i was still in the plane i made up my mind.i arrived in Boston at 10pm.the next day I plan everything. I saw her messages but I never replied.before I left there I already talked mr Ramirez about her.and also I asked Jacob helps to see her mother in the province. I bought a 5 hectares land in the town area.So they can live in comfortable life. I showed my design and ask him to hire some people to start building a house for my girl.
“ so how long it will take to finish the house?” I ask Jacob.we talk via Skype with Mr Ramirez. Since I cannot buy a land because I am foreigner. I asked mr Ramirez helps.so Lani can sign the documents as the buyer/owner.
“In 5 months dude you’ll have it, I will hire my the best people in town to build your dream castle for your queen”his voice sounds teasing me.
“That’s good to hear,so lets start then.” I says.
“Umm how about Lani? When do you want to tell her?” It was mr Ramirez.
“After the house is done.i will be there”
“ don’t wait long buddy. Lani is beautiful. And alot of men in the hospital” he said and that made me silent. Hmmmmm
“Let see,” i just said.
“ okay dude.tomorrow I will let you know about the plans.” Jacob.
“ thanks man. And thank you mr Ramirez”
“Don’t mention it. Just don’t hurt my Lani” mr Ramirez says. I found out that mr Ramirez and Lani’s mom used to be lover’s but because of being poor his mom didn’t like her for him,they got separated and mr Ramirez got married to the woman his mom’s wanted,while Lani’s mom got married also. Fate brought Lani to mr Ramirez household.
“I won’t, and thanks again.” I ended the call and proceed to my paperwork.later i need to talk to my stores manager. I read all my emails and study some of them.i don’t have patience of running business but what I can do? Thats the only remembrance I have from grandma. Oh i misa her so much. She would love Lani too, I am planning to bring her here in Boston but in time. Hang on there baby please don’t ever forget me, I love you and miss you so much.
“ woaaah who’s that dude? And you’re back!” My cousin Adam.
“ hey bro.what’s up?” I close my laptop.
“ just checking on you. I called this morning and your secretary told me you’re back.so ? Who’s that beautiful lady on your laptop?” He asked while grinning.
“It’s none of your business” snap at him knowing him he’s a teaser .
“Woah is that you Aiden Mcgratt Smith?”he teased me,while grinning.Damn!
Happy reading po!!!
