CHAPTER 5
AUNTIE
It's already 6:30 AM and my work is 9 AM i'm currently wearing my secretary outfit while preparing the breastfeed milk of my son. Syempre kahit na wala ako mas maigi padin na naka prepared na yung milk nya sa bote i'm just pumping the milk from my breast dahil mas gusto kong gatas ko ang iinumin niya. Although mainam din naman yung ibang gatas but he's just 8mnts siguro pag nasa 2years old na siya tsaka na ko bibili ng milk niya depende sa maisipan ko HAHAH.
I decided to go to sean's room to wake him up since nakapagluto na naman ako ng breakfast. Siya na muna ang magbabantay kay finneas habang wala ako dahil gabi naman ang klase nya for today.
" Sean, gising kanaba? Baba na kumain kana naka ready na yung breakfast aalis na din ako maya maya" i said while knocking on his door
" Pababa na ate" oh aga niya magising ngayon himala. Dikase mahilig magpapasok si sean sa kwarto niya ewan ko ba kung ano meron sa kwarto niyan pero pag ako lang naman at si finneas ang nasa bahay, minsan ainiailip ko ang nasa loob ng kwarto niya and it's all cleaned. Nakakapagtaka lang kasi si sean yung tipo ng tao na messy sa gamit. Ewan koba baka nagbago? I don't really know. Anyway, i came to my room and binuhat ko na si finneas sa baba para paliguan since gising na naman siya and nasa duyan lang dumedede.
After an hour and a half tapos ko nang paliguan si finneas and tapos na din namang kumain si sean so binigay kona si finneas sa kanya and sila na munang mag tito ulit ang magsasama for today." I'm leaving. Call me if something happens okay? Yung gatas niya nakaready na as always sa ref. Take care and iloveyou both " hinalikan kona sa pisngi ang anak ko at hinalikan ko naman sa ulo si sean. I'm surely gonna miss my son kahit na ilang oras lang ang lumipas. Iba pa din talaga kapag kasama mo yung anak mo.
It's past 8:30 na ng dumating ako mabuti naman at hindi ako nalate. Naupo na ko sa upuan ko sa secretary's office and greet mics a goodmorning
" Ate alam mo ba hinanap ka ni sir craige kahapon nung wala ka pati nung gabing umuwi ka ka agad tinanong niya lang naman and umalis na din" huh? Bat naman niya ko hahanapin? May kailangan ba siya? Sasagot na sana ko sa sinabi ni mica kaya lang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng elevator and the ceo came wearing his classy blue tuxedo and together with him are his investors? I think? Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na ngayon nga pala ang meeting ng WGP sa EGC o kaya Esquivel group of companies. I know him. Jaxon esquivel the current CEO of EGC and i think magkaibigan sila ni sir craige? Ewan ko base naman sa nakikita ko dahil pareho silang nakapoker face. Moody din daw yang lalaking yan bali balita sa company nila hindi naman ako nakikichismis sadyang naririnig lang ng tenga ko.
"Ate mag ready kana once the meeting is done tatawagin tayo ni sir sinabi nya sakin kahapon " my thoughts interrupted on the sudden talk of mica. Really? Baka may ipapagawa na naman siya since malapit na nga pala ang anniversarry ng WGC .
Naupo na ako sa upuan ko and sinimulan ko ng ayusin ang mga papers and documents para sa presentation mamaya sa magaganap na annual anniversarry ng Weithermir Group Of Companies. It's on Saturday. Mismong birthday ni sean kaya hindi ako makaka attend. An hour passed and lumabas na sa pintuan ang mga investor mula sa company ni jaxon esquivel so i hurriedly checked all the papers and the presentation i'm going to present since tapos na naman silang mag meeting. He called my telephone here to my table to said come in. Ewan ko kung anong tawag dyan at wala nakong balak alamin pa basta telephone tapos.
" You ready mics? " i asked her since i stood up and ready ng pumasok sadyang hinihintay ko nalang siya para sabay na kame.
" Yes ate. I'm good to go tara na po " then we both both walk and i knocked on the door and sir craige siad in his usual cold voice "come -in" geez. Parang akala mo dito sa taong to dala lahat ng problema sa mundo HAHAHAH anyway pumasok na kameng dalawa ni mica and i decided to greet him to a good morning since hindi ko naman siya nabati kanina.
" Good morning sir. Shall we start on our presentation po?" i asked carefully dahil baka magalit agad yan knowing his character na konting mali mo lang magagalit na.
" Wait for a while. You two sit down first since I'm still waiting for someone to come and listen to the presentation because she herself will tell dad what will happen on the anniversary since mom and dad are not here. " okay. Madali naman kaming kausap kaya nag thank you agad kami at naupo na sa sofa malayo sa swivel chair nya since may table pa and then chair bago mag sofa. Wala akong balak lumapit dahil naiilang ako sa titig niya. Eto na naman po siya. Just like our first meeting na tititigan ka na akala mo gusto kang sunggaban. Hello? I am not a food. Geez kahit na nakapoker face hindi maikakailang gwapo.
"How are you? Mica said that you file a leave yesterday" he said while looking intensely at me. Eto ang nakakailang dito eh magtatanong na nga lang kelangan pang tumingin. Nakakailang.
"Yes sir i'm already okay thankyou for asking " amplastik ba? Naiilang na kasi talaga ako sa tingin niya. Hindi ba siya titigil sa kakatitig? Kahit na hindi ako nakatingin sa kanya nakikita ko sa pheripheral vision ko na nakatingin siya.
The sound of higheels you can hear towards the door of the ceo office A knocked on the door interrupted his gaze to me. Inayos niya ang coat niya at sabay sabing come in sa sinumang taong papasok ng pintuan. Since nakatalikod kami sa upuan dahil ang sofa sa office na ito ay nakaharap sa kanya hindi ko makita ang taong pumasok but i heard it already when she talked.
" I'm sorry craige na traffic ako. Besides matanda na si manong ken na driver ko kaya di agad kami nakaabot sa oras " her voice literally gave me goosebumps. I don't know if i want to Iook back to make sure that she is the person I am referring to. But i don't know how to. Mabuti na lamang at naka upo ako dahil kung hindi sadyang mapapaupo ako sa sobrang lamig at lambot ng tuhod ko dahil sa boses na narinig ko.
" Everyone, i want you to meet the secretary of my dad. She is Jamie velasco " and thats it. I decided to turn my back to look at her despite of my situation na sadyang nakapagpalala ng emosyong nararamdaman ko.
When i look at my back both of us are having a shock expression. Marahil hindi niya inaasahang magkikita kami dito. Sa laki ng mundo talagang dito pa kame magkikita? One word came on my mouth when i look at her. It's just a whispered so technically hindi niya maririnig.
" AUNTIE"
Ang taong sumira sa buhay namin ng kapatid ko at ang taong dahilan ng rape na naranasan ko noon.
CRAIGE'S POV
When i look at yulliyah i know something's happen in the past between the two of them. She is yulliyah's auntie. And she is with us 2 years ago pa after the incident happen to me. Yun yung kinabukasan pagkatapos kong malaman na nakarape ako ng babae dahil sa drugs na nilagay ng gagong kung sino man sa inumin ko. I decided na pagkitain silang muli dahil akala ko matutuwa sila pareho. But, my instinct didn't came true. Did something happen in the past na hindi ko alam?
CHAPTER 6THE UNTOLD TRUTH (1)Due to my arising emotions that i can't control right now i take a leave and get out of the ceo's office. I don't know what's gotten into me, bahala na kung ma fired ako dahil sa ginawa kong pag wawalkout pero wala nakong pakealam. She is the last person that i don't want to see anymore." Y-yulliyah w- w-wait c-can you atleast let me talk to you first?" hablot nya sa kanang braso ko habang umiiyak siya." Ang kapal din naman pala ng muka mong sundan ako dito at harapin ako pagkatapos ng lahat ng nangyare. Can't you see? I don't want to see you. I don't need you and i don't want to talk to you." ayoko na. Can someone please get me out of here?" N-no. L-listen to m-me f-first. I-i-know na malaki ang kasalanan ko sayo but please i will tell you everyhting if that's what you want. Iknow its long overdue now b-but j-just listen to me first.

Yung ganitong kalusog at kasayang anak lang naman ang hihilingin ko sigurado anman ako na lahat ng magulang sa mundo marramdaman yung contentment and sincerity ng pagmamahal ng isang ina lalo na kung single mother ka.
