"Have a seat Meldy.!"

ani ni Don Emman pagpasok niya sa study room nito.

"Carl  please tell nana to call Sophie!"

"Okay sir" 

Carl responded.

"How are you Meldy?

 Don Emman ask her smiling.

mas lalo siyang kinabahan, base sa nabasa niyang aklat pag ang amo niya ay kalmadong kalmado at nakangiti sigurado sisante kana.!

"Diyos ko po,wag naman sana!!"?Taimtin niyang panalangin.

"Im okay sir, trying hard to strive in life.."

"Ohh thats good.."nakangiti pa ring sagot ni Don Eman.

"Sir hindi sa nagmamadali ako pero bakit nyo po ko pinatawag?"

"Ohh well I want you to take a vacation.."

panimula ng matanda.

"Ho?! sisante na po ba ako sir??" Anyang gustong himatayin.

"Please sir bigyan nyo po ako ng second chance, may mga kapatid po ako na nag aaral. ! yong isa po magkacollege pa, please sir nagmamakaawa po ako.."

mangiyak ngiyak na litaniya ni Meldy.

"Whats going on?"

tanong ng naguguluhang si Sophie 

"Bakit mo tatanggalin ang secretary ko lo?may ginawa ba siyang masama?" 

Bungad ni Sophia ng marinig ang pagmamakaawa ng secretary niya.

"No.!ofcourse not!" depensa nito.

"I just want to reward Meldy  for working efficiency.."

"Po?"

"Yeah.."

sang-ayon ni Sophie .

"But who will be my secretary while she's on vacation?"

Mas lalong nalito si Meldy  sa mga pangyayari. .She will be rewarded a vacation by Don Emmanuel  Sebastian.?!

reasonable!!

because as he said she worked efficiently.!

but the shocking part is that her boss agreed and even though she only said "yeah" it means she appreciated her hardwork.?

under pressure on her attitude.!

"And you Sophia..you can have Carlo as your secretary because Meldy  here will be having a two weeks vacation 

with pay and allowance of course. ."

nakangiting sabi sa kanya ni Don Emmanuel..

Meldy can't explain her happiness while Carlo's face become sour..

"Ako sir magiging secretary ni maam Sophie  for two weeks?"

gulat na tanong ni Carlo.

"Oh my God.!" 

parang gusto ata nyang maihi sa kaba.

"I heard rumours about maam Sophie's maltreatment to her employees specially he dont like men.! 

Carlo told to himself.

"How about you sir?who will be your assistant for two weeks?

"Don't worry about me. I will go to the office everyday as well" 

nakangiti pa ring sabi ni Don Emman.

Napansin ni Sophia na good mood masyado ang lolo nya so she instantly feel nervous.

something is not right.!

"And Meldy  before you  take an off for your vacation,call the church and moved Sophie's wedding date on 30th day next month, after your two weeks vacation prepare everything for the wedding reception.!"

tuloy tuloy na sabi ng matanda habang ang kamay ni Meldy nabitin sa ere ng marinig ang sinabi nito.

Hindi agad na process ni Sophie ang sinabi ng lolo nya.

move the wedding??30th next month..??

"What the fuck!!! Lo are you serious?"

sigaw ni Sophie

"To. .to that escort pervert guy?are you insane?ipapakasal mo ako sa manyakis na lalaking yon?He is just an escort!!!"

"And you hired him?? don't you?!" 

anyang nakakunot noo

"You hired an escort to be your husband to fooled me,remember hija?

nakangiti pa ring sabi ng matanda.

"So face the consequences!!!"

The old man raised his voiced and bang the table with his fist infront of Sophie.

Napaigtad sa gulat ang tatlong tao sa loob ng study.

to see the smile of his grand father's face means something is awfully wrong!!

she knew it.! 

"Pero lo'.!"

Nagmamakaawang boses ni Sophie.

"Ahhmm sir about that escort guy. .

ahhmmm there's something. .

Meldy 's voice shivering ..

"I know everything Meldy, there's no need for you to explain.!"

malumanay na sabi ng matanda.

"Apo mo ba talaga ako lo?"

tanong ni Sophie sa sarili.

bakit sa ibang tao ang considerate mo, sa akin napaka harsh mo..why?

"You knew everything sir?but you're not angry with me?"

"Why shoud I?You are just doing your job. .your vacation will be effective tomorrow, so Carlo go with Meldy  today sa office then ibilin mo sa kanya lahat ng kailangan nyang gawin for the whole month, saka isali muna pati next month!"

bilin ng matanda sa dalawang empleyado.

"Whole month sir?" Carl was shocked. "I thought two weeks vacation lang po si Meldy ?"

Carl questioned.

"Are you questioning my decisions Carl?"

"Ofcourse not sir..im just woried po wala kayong assistant for the whole  month.,"

Carlo reason out.!

May pinag manahan naman pala itong apo niya!!

"He is just worried lo na for the whole month hindi relaxing ang trabaho nya.."

panunuya ni Sophie  while staring at him, nakataas ang kilay.!

smirking her lips.

na parang nagsasabing humanda ka sa akin lalaki ka ikaw ang pagbubuntunan ko ng galit buong buwan.

Pinangingilabutang isip ni Carlo sa sinabi ng among babae..

"Okay then. .my dicision is final you may all go.!"

dismissed ni Don Emmanuel  sa tatlong kausap.

"Pero lolo..I dont like that pervert!!"

"Walang pero pero Sophia!!

anyways,spend time with Eddie ..

spend weekends with him in a beach

or

what ever both of you like to do.!"

nakangiting sabi ng lolo eman..

"what?why would I do that?"

natitilihang tanong ni Sophie.

"Because Eddie said he wants to know you! and you may prefer to know him before you get married as well, don't you think so?" 

He aksed her smiling. 

"And as for me its a very good idea!! you can even make my great grand son in advance if you like.!"

Napadilat ang mata ni Sophia ng marinig ang sinabi ng abuelo sa kanya.

"now you may all go!!"

pantataboy ni lolo Emmanuel sa tatlo.

"Wohhh fukin great!!"malakas na sigaw ni Sophie pagkalabas ng study room.
