Lumabas ako ng kwarto at nag tungo sa kung nasaan si mommy. She's cooking beefsteak. Umopo ako sa countertop at pumalungbaba.

I check my phone and saw no text from Thorn. He didn't even reply to my text messages. Binaba ko ang aking phone at bumuntong hininga.

"Saan si daddy, mom?"

"Nasa trabaho na."

"Is dad still working with Thorn, mom?"

Tumango siya.

"Yup. Your dad and Thorn resume talking to investors now that Thorn is back from his leave..."

Tumayo ako at kumuha ng orange juice. I poured my glass full. I was about to drink it when mommy grab it from me. Some of the juice spill on my hand.

"Mommy!"ungot ko.

"Slow down in your intake of softdrink and other acidic drink...your pregnant its dangerous when you'll have uti."

Bumusamgot ako at bumalik ako sa stool. Binigyan ako ni mommy ng tubig.

"Boring." I said at tinabi ang baso ng tubig.

She ignored me. Bumaik siya sa kanyang niluluto. We eat are lunch in our balcony. Naparami ang aking kain, mom is a good cook, and one of this days magpapaturo akong mag luto.

Pumunta ako ng hapon sa opisina ni Thorn. Hindi niya kasi ako nireplyan he wont even answer my calls. His Secretary smiled to me.

"Morning ma'am Dalhia..."

"Morning, si Thorn."

"Ma'am, sir Thorn is in Europe. Naatasan po siya ni sir Enzo dumalo ng meeting doon."

"Saan sa Europe?"

Her smile slowly faded and look at her tablet.

"Hindi ko po alan, ma'am Dalhia. Emergency meeting po kasi..."

"Sinong nag book ng flight niya kung ganon?" I asked. It's her job to know where Thorn is. Siya rin ang nag aasikaso sa plane tickets ni Thorn.

She bite her lower lip.

"Sumakay po siya sa private jet ng mga Salvador po.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Kinuba ko ang aking phone, He never told me anything bout this. I tried dialing his phone but his not answering.

Kahit nasa loob na ako ng sasakyan tinatawagan ko parin siya. I tried calling Dria. Naka tatlong tawag pa ako bago niya sinagot.

"Where's your brother?" Unang bungad ko.

"His...his in Europe ate...he didn't tell you?"

"Where exactly in Europe?"

"Well...uh...that I don't know."

"Drisella, don't lie to me...you know my situation..."

Natahimik ang kabilang linya. I waited for her to talk. Tinignan ko ang ohine kung connected pa, connected pa naman ang tawag.

"Dria-"

"He has a surprise for you!" Mabilis niyang aniya.

Humihingal pa siyang pagkatapos. My right brow arched. She murmured something I didn't hear.

"Come again?" I said.

"Ate...kuya actually paid for my silence and it's very pricey, please pretend to be surprise later. Huh?"
