Gabie's POV
"Hey! Besh, it's easy to tell a story! " I couldn't stand it anymore when we got on the fx on our way home.
"Yes, he is handsome and he still smells good. I just noticed his appearance and then got closer, "I began the story.
"Wow! Miracle! "
"Why a miracle?" I wonder if the question is
Because every time I say something about men, you always answer me, "You don't have that in mind right now because you have to focus on studying first."
"Actually, nothing has changed in my plan and what I want to do," I reasoned.
"Oh? But earlier when you were talking, the big smile on your face did not go away. Then if you can stare, there will be no one else around you. "
"Luh! You are mean to me! "
"Aba! I'm just saying what I noticed in you earlier. The way you look at her is so weird, so I just knew something. "
Okay, I'll crush him, but until then there's no hope for the next one. "Okay, I'll crush him, but until then there's no hope for the next one."
"How sure are you?"
"Because it's just a crush. Then, for sure, he had a girlfriend. It looked like it was impossible not to have a girlfriend. "
"Oh? Are you close? For you to say those things? "
"We don't have to be close before I can feel like him."
"Wow! Ikaw na besh! I didn't know you knew him so well! "
"'That's it, like a fool! You know, we've been talking for a while. I didn't even think he was in charge of their bosses. I didn't notice him during our previous visits to the agency. "
"Oh, he's gone! Didn't you notice? Are you sure?"
"Yes, just now, isn't it? I can only say. "
For your information, he was one of the panel during the audition. He was also there during your second offense. I just didn't see him at the contract signing. If I'm not mistaken, I think he would have waited, but Meynard said he was in the meeting, so he just continued because the representative of their company's client was there. "
"You already know?"
"I only know those because Neri is the one I talk to most often. He was so rich, he was the son of a famous film director, and he was the son of a late movie producer. "I was amazed at what I heard from him because I didn't expect it.
"Really? The one in the news? " I'm sure.
"Yes, Neri told me the story. They thought that this project would be delayed because Sir Miguel had left because his father had died. Then he suddenly returned to work, so the audition schedule continued until now. "
"She didn't even mourn?"
"It's not like that, you know if his way is to keep himself busy at work, because according to Neri, their boss is really a workaholic, so they also get infected."
Our story continued until we got down and walked home.
"Ma! We are here!" I shouted as I was about to open the door.
"Tita beauty! We're here! " He also shouted at me.
"I'm here in the kitchen, oh, you guys were right. I bought a snack while we ate together. Wait, what do you like, juice or soft drinks? "
"Wow! Again, Lafang! It's really nice to live when there's a lot of food, "said Jhay who went to the kitchen and his eyes focused on the food that mama was preparing.
"Anything I have on hand so I don't have to go out and buy it," I replied to Mama's inquiry.
"Oh boy! There is nothing the same, so I asked to buy it, "he explained.
"Ay! I'll be the one to buy it for you, "then I immediately went out to buy something for us to drink because Jhay didn't let me go, he sat down at the table after washing his hands.
When I came back from buying drinks…
"Oh my gosh, you said more! You know that son of yours, "I caught up with him and said to mama.
my curiosity. "What are you talking about? I just lost the topic of your conversation for a while."
"Nothing besh, I just told my aunt that we saw someone handsome that you really talked to."
It was just Crush, ma, it's just that I like to exaggerate the story, "I told him out of nowhere."
"Susme! Why is it such a big deal to them that I had a crush? Eh, isn't the crush just a wonder? What's wrong if I admire something he said? He's really handsome and hard-working. I just can't say what his real behavior is because I've only talked to him once before, "I kept thinking.
"I didn't say anything!" mama, then smiled meaningfully.
The fun story continued as we ate a snack. I told mama what happened during the shooting. I also greeted the perfect ones with mama while we were away.
Miggy's POV
I took Meynard to their house to get dressed because he was going to pick up his girlfriend, while I, eh, immediately went to their uncle's house so that I could be with mommy. I didn't call to go home to surprise him because I had a plan tonight for him.
"Who's mommy?" I asked the maid after I entered the house from the garage.
"Oh, they left ma'am with your aunt but your uncle was left in the garden," the maid explained.
So I immediately walked to the garden to let him know that I had arrived.
"Tito," I said, referring to
"Son, have you been here before?"
"I just arrived."
"They don't have a mommy. Beth and I left earlier. They said they were going to the mall."
"Let me go. "That's how women really like to go to the mall," I said, laughing.
"Oh my gosh! You said, I'm really grateful because your mommy is here because if your aunt Beth teases me to go to the mall. Then I get bored and tired of following him inside the mall, "he complained and we laughed together.
"By the way, how are you and your son?" The tone of Tito's speech suddenly became serious.
It suddenly occurred to me that maybe this was the right time for me to tell him about daddy's secret.
I lied. "I'm a good uncle," I said.
"You're good? I don't think so. Perhaps you're trying to be a good Miggy, "I was surprised by what he said, because I didn't think that's what he would say to me. So I did not remain silent, I bowed down because what he said was true.
"What is it, son? You can tell anything. As a matter of fact, no one can replace your father for you. But since he is already gone, I can say that, being the brother of your father, I am willing to listen to whatever it is that is boggling your mind right now. "
"Tito, mommy doesn't know what I'm going to tell you," I said hesitantly.
"No problem. I won't tell anyone, not even you, Aunt Beth. You can trust me on that matter. "
I was reassured by what I heard from him. I took a deep sigh before starting to speak.
"It was about dad. One afternoon, Meynard told me that my dad's secretary, Alice, called and then said that he was sending me to his office the next day, "although I was nervous, I tried to calm myself down so that I could tell him the whole story properly.
I am very thankful because throughout my storytelling, the uncle just listened quietly. I know he was surprised based on his reactions, but he did not try to ask any questions. He just let me tell him the whole story. From my discovery of the birthday greeting card, to my daddy and I's answer. When I talked to Uncle Rick, who was daddy's best friend, from hiring an investigator until the latest information we got,
"I'm sorry uncle, only now did I have the courage to say all this. Because I don't know how to talk to you and then I relaxed that it's not the right time to tell them to you because everyone is still mourning the loss of daddy. Mommy's next incident happened and my work schedule became hectic due to the big projects that came into the company one after the other, "I said after I told her what happened.
Throughout my storytelling, many times he would sigh and gasp because of what he heard. I know it's really surprising because none of us thought daddy could do that. When I looked at Tito from afar, he looked like I did before while telling the story, looking away because I really couldn't look at Tito with his eyes. Because I'm still angry about what happened to my father.
"Stop blaming yourself. It wasn't your fault, no one's at fault for what happened to my brother, "he began. Although I know that's not true, I seemed a little upset because of what I heard from him.
"Honestly, I have noticed for a long time that he is having problems. He has visited me here at home several times, even in the office before I stopped working. I felt like he wanted to say something, but I didn't ask. I was just waiting for him to say it. But I didn't tell anyone what I saw and I felt for him, not even your aunt, even when your daddy was gone, 'he continued.
"I can't fully imagine that's what he's been carrying for a long time, because my doubts about money are his problem. But because I didn't try to ask and he didn't really say so until I was completely skeptical. I'm sorry. I know you don't deserve all of this mess that your father has made in the past. Pero I am proud of you because, despite what you've been through, you didn't have a doubt about taking over the responsibilities and obligations that were supposed to be your father's, because, as you said, it was your father's last words and you wanted to fulfill them for him, "he added. I just nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll help you with that..." But our intense conversation was cut short when we heard the voices of mommy and auntie approaching us.
"Hello there, son!" mommy greeted happily as she walked next to aunt Beth with a happy face.
"Hi mom! Hi Aunt! " I stood up to greet them with a kiss on the cheeks and a hug.
They also greeted him with a big smile on his face that was far from his face while we were still talking.
"It seems that what you're talking about here is serious?" mommy asked.
"I'm just advising Miggy to get married because we're not getting older," he immediately replied while holding me in his arms that he told me to just ride what he said.
I just shook my head and smiled at them, because the truth is, I was suddenly nervous about Mommy's question to us.
Since his ex-girlfriend left, I haven't heard of anyone being his girlfriend, "he said.
"It's not like that. I haven't seen the woman I want to be with forever, but we know we might not know soon, "I told them with a smile.
"So just relax, we'll be there one day… soon…" I added.
Uncle, I haven't seen or even heard you go to bars to have fun. If I didn't know that Meynard has a longtime girlfriend, I might doubt you two, "then he laughed out loud so mommy and aunt and I also laughed at him.
"Uncle, I don't know that you think such things about me," I complained.
"Eh, you can't blame me because I haven't heard that you're dating someone," he reasoned.
"Oh hey, that's okay first, it's better to eat now that they've already prepared our dinner," said the aunt who was still laughing.
Arriving at the dining table.
"How was your shooting for the commercial?" while she was busy putting food on my plate. At the same time, she was putting food on her plate.
"Everything went well, everything needed for editing the video has been finished before," I replied.
"Eh, it's not good then."
As we expected, the President of the company visited earlier, but he did not take long. He just greeted everyone and it was perfect, "I continued.
Then he also told us about his walk with his aunt and why he went to the mall. Then we went back to the garden to continue the conversation while mommy and auntie had tea while my uncle and I drank alcohol for sleeping pills.
When I was alone in the room, I thought about the conversation my uncle and I had before my aunt and mommy came earlier. We didn't end up in such a conversation. I don't know when we will talk again so we can plan the next steps. I never asked her how we would confess everything to mommy. I also want to ask him for my brother what is good to do so that he can meet and we can get to know him. Because of what happened, the weight I was carrying was a bit lighter somehow, because at least now there is Uncle Manuel who is one of those who knows our family. Unlike in the past, I was the only one who knew, so all the precautions I took were to hide what I really felt. Now I can testify in front of him because of him.
"Dad, I know you can hear me wherever you are right now. I already told my uncle the secret you have been hiding from all of us for a long time. He will help me with the next steps. We've found my sister, but I'm still not too worried about how mommy will feel when she finds out about this matter. Dad, I'm having a hard time. It's just that I was able to tell my uncle the truth earlier. I'm so sorry, dad. I know it's already long overdue, but I just want you to know that I am really sorry for what happened in our last conversation. I'm sorry for all the hurtful words I've said. I'm sorry. I let my emotions rule me. I'm sorry dad, that I wasn't able to give you time to fully explain your side. "I couldn't help but cry. This was the first time I had said all this. I don't know if it just happened that I was talking to daddy, because I know he can still hear me.
I didn't know the sequel. Maybe I was swallowed up by drowsiness.
"Wake up, Miggy," mommy said.I realized she was waking me up.
"Mom? What's the matter? " I asked in shock, because it's not usual for mommy to wake me up, especially since she knows that I only sleep for a long time on Sundays.
"I'm sorry to disturb your deep slumber, but it's already past twelve in the afternoon. And I have something to tell you, "he said softly. I got up and was shocked to hear that it was noon.
"What is it, mom?"
"I'm here to inform you that I called Carla to be here tomorrow so she can accompany me home. Don't worry, I even called the maids to clean the house because I'll be back there. Don't worry, I'll still continue my sessions with my psychiatrist. It's just that we need to go back to our place for your father's forty days, the prayer needs to start, "she explained.
"Is that so? What is that mom doing? I can't promise you if I can go home every night, "I said sadly.
I sighed because I was shocked when I heard that all his plans were laid out. I just agreed to let him come home to our house.
"Okay. Have you talked to your aunt and uncle about this? "
"Yes, and they understand."
I hurried to act because I knew mommy was waiting for me.
When I went downstairs with my luggage, mommy was ready. The three of them—aunt, uncle, and aunt—were in the living room talking.
I heard my aunt say to mommy, "How is it that we're back to the way we used to be when we're just here again?" I heard my aunt say to mommy, "How is it that we're back to the way we used to be when we're just here?"
"Why don't you come to our place this time so we can be there?" mommy smiling asked them.
"Why not!" I heard Tito say.
"Oh, well, I expected that, right? Well, we won't be long. Thank you for letting me stay here for a while, "mommy said to her aunt as they hugged.
"You're always welcome to stay with us."
"Thank you," mommy said as they hugged while my aunt and I hugged.
"Thank you very much," I said weakly to her.
"Nothing, son, this home is always open for you," he responded immediately to what I said.
My uncle said these words as we hugged.
"Don't mention it. You're welcome to visit her anytime. Call me anytime, anything you need. "
I nodded to him because I knew what he meant, so I decided not to talk anymore.
Mommy and I had a smooth trip. While on the flight, Mommy called Meynard to talk to the nanny and to let them know that we were going home.
