"Welcome home Doc. Aizenberg." greet ng mga workers ng Aizenberg Mansion.
Aizenberg flashed a quick smile before making her way directly to her office. I instructed Tina to fetch Aizenberg's luggage from the car, as she had come straight from Berlin to the Aizenberg mansion. While Sage went outside to get the luggages, I headed to the kitchen to check the food that Chef Facundo had prepared.
"Is everything alright here, Chef?"
"Just give me five more minutes, Tiff. Ito nalang sauce."
"Alright, please let me know when it's ready so we can start arranging the dining area."
"Yes Ms. Butler." Nakangiting sagot ni Chef Facundo. Babalik na sana ako papunta ng living room nang mapansin ko ang isang figure na nakatayo sa gilid ng door. Nakatingin sya saakin at feeling ko may gusto syang sabihin.
"Yes, Aizenberg? Do you need something?" I asked.
"Hmmn... I need water, and please bring it to my office," she replied.
"Okay.." sagot ko naman, and I made my way to the water fridge to get some cold water. Habang sinasalin ko ang tubig sa water goblet, ay nahintuan ako. Napansin ko kasi na nandun parin sya at nakatayo. Kaya naman nilapitan ko sya at inabot ko sa kanya yung water.
"I told you to bring it to my office?"
"Bakit pa? Ito ka na nga.. ikaw na magdala hindi naman mabigat yan." Naiismid na saad ko. Aizenberg's expression turned serious as she stared at me.
"Are you angry? You haven't call me in the last two days of my stay in Berlin. Si Coline at Sage nalang ang palagi kong nakakausap. Ayaw mo ba talaga saakin? Na kahit kausapin ako sa cellphone ay iniiwasan mo?" Tila nagtatampong sabi nya.
"Aizenberg! Ano ba yang sinasabi mo?" Pigil na asik ko, saka ako napalingon kay Chef Facundo.
Pinagsasabi nito ni Aizenberg. Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya at hinila ko sya papunta ng living room at nagpatinaod naman sya. Wala naman kasing tao dun ngayon.
Nang makarating kami sa livingroom, I let go of her hand and turned to face her. I frowned as I noticed her suppressing smile.
"What's so funny?" I asked, sabay ang ismid ko.
"Nothing..." sagot naman nya.
"I've been busy with my part-time job, that's why I haven't been talking to you."
"Really? Your schedule at Lèandre Couture is only twice a week, right? So you should have time to talk to me."
"Alam ko na busy ka sa Berlin. Diba nga may inaalagaan kang babae na may sakit." Naiismid na saad ko.
Halatang Nahintuan si Aizenberg saka sumeryoso ang muka nya. Napangisi naman ako dahil natameme sya.
"How did you know about that?" she asked.
