13 Reunion go wrong

" Together? You mean? You two are?...." Mrs. Dizon asks.

" No. I didn't mean it. I mean he is also a survivor." Nini said.

" Okay. Let's take a seat first." Mrs. Dizon said.

" Anyway, Prince, I will ask Mr. Loyola to send you to your home. You drove for a whole day. If you want to go back to your company first, you can tell him. " Nini said.

" No need. I'm not planning to go back for the meantime. Until we settle what we need to." Prince said.

"What do you need to settle?" Mrs. Dizon said.

" Ma, actually I rushed home because I wanted to ask you a favor. " Nini said.

" What is it, Nini? Is it about designing things again? I'm telling you, I know that you really love designing and that is the reason why you left home, but I cannot promise that your Papa and I will let you..." Mrs. Dizon asks.

" No, Ma. Let me finish my words first. " Nini said.

" Don't tell me? Don't tell me you are going to get married to this man?! Wait, I can't take this. Don't tell me you two are planning for a shotgun wedding?! No...No..No.. It can't be..." Mrs. Dizon said.

" Ma, can you stop talking about..Hays, never mind.. I want to ask you about one of our company's projects." Nini said.

" What about that project? Nini, you just came back, and now you are that concerned about our company. I'm really happy." Mrs. Dizon said.

" It is also connected to the place where I stayed during the past few weeks. " Nini said.

" Okay, Nini, cut the chase. Say it. " Mrs. Dizon said.

" Actually, Ma, I stayed in a village…." Before Nini finishes her words, their door opens and her Papa enters.

" Nini! You are finally back!" Mr. Dizon then walked towards Nini, opened his arms, and hugged her.

" Yes, Papa, I'm back. " Nini said.

" It's good that you're okay. What exactly happened to you? Your Mama and I were worried, but we know that you can survive it. It's just a piece of cake for you. Right? Anyway, who is this guy?" Mr. Dizon said.

" He is also a survivor..." Nini said.

" Mr. and Mrs. Dizon, I think I should excuse myself. Nini, I'll wait for you outside."

" Okay." Nini said and nodded.

" Nini, I thought you had something to say? " Mrs. Dizon asks.

" Yes, actually Ma and Pa, I rushed to come home because I wanted to help the people who helped me to survive. " Nini said.

" Yes, of course, we should extend our gratitude to them. Just tell me, Nini, what do they need?" Mr. Dizon said.

" Pa, it is about the project that Stephen is handling. The people in that village helped me. They treated me when I was injured, they also let me stay there during the storm and until I recovered. I also realized how much they value their village and their tradition. I think we should not destroy it just because of our personal interest!" Nini said.

" Personal interest? Don't you know how important this project is to my company?!" Mr. Dizon said.

" Harry! Enough! Nini just got back. She didn't take a rest after a long trip, and now you're arguing." Mrs. Dizon said.

" Okay, Take a rest! I need to calm down because I don't know what I can say to you! '' Mr. Dizon said then walked out.

" Harry! Harry! Harry! " Mrs. Dizon shouts.

" It's okay, Ma. I will find a way. " Nini said.

" Nini, actually I think your Papa is right. You should know thousands of employees depend on him. You should understand, we can't cancel a big project just because of gratitude. We can pay them for…" Mrs. Dizon said.

" Ma, stop. I'll get going." Nini said and walked out.

" Nini! Where are you going?!" Mrs. Dizon shouts.

" Don't worry. I'll just send my friend home. Bye-bye." Nini said.
