Chapter 30- The Eclipse Retreat

Nandito kami ngayong 5 sa office ng Shop habang sina Rita at ang iba ay busy sa baba dahil dumami lalo ang customer nung malaman nila na nadito ang mga Floûman.

"Hindi na ako magpapaligoy-ligoy pa dahil alam kong busy ka din lady Laythildia kaya hindi ko na sasayang pa ang oras mo" panimula ng mabuting duke.

"No need to worry about my time, my duke dahil sa ating dalawa ay ikaw ang mas lalong busy, so I don't want to waste your time here slso" nakangiting ani ko dito.

Nakaupo kami ngayon sa sofa kung saan may tsaa at snacks ng shop na  nakalatag sa maliit na round table ng office. Napatingin ako kay Arthimenia na enjoy na enjoy sa marshmallow na kinakain niya habang si Lord Ellias  naman humuhigop ng tsaa sa kanyang tasa.

"I want to have a partnership with you, young lady" diretsong sabi ng Duke. Napangiti ako dito habang may seryosong tingin.

"And why's the Lord of Business catch an interest on my business? care to please expalin" seryoso pero magalang kong tanong dito

Humigop muna ito ng tsaa sa kanyang tasa saka umayos ng upo.

"As I can see, your business is very popular among locals and tourist, your business even reach and became a talk around the whole capital and other parts of Eavergreén Kingdom. Many popular merchants tried and wants to become your partners but I've heard that you just pick few and that makes me very curious as of why the popukar merchants going crazy over a small business that just started" mahabang sabi niya saakin.

"And when I investigate you and your business, I'm shock because you do not own just a candy store but also a popular inn that even aristocrats wanting to go and try to. Knowing you just reach 16 years of age, I believe that in the future you will become a very successful and even popular business women in this world, might as well surpass the Floûman's success" proud na sabi niya na ikina touch ko. 'Might as well surpass the Floûman? I don't think so'

"And we Floûman wanted to be part of that success and see if that prediction may might come true, as we wants to work with the person that have a passion, brain, creativity, bravely and positive thinking" pagtatapos niya.

Lumambot ang expression ko at napangiti nalang ng malaki sa mga narinig. He said that I use sugarcoating that hits the sweetspot but I believe that he's the one who is professional in that field.

"I'm touch with your words, Duke Floûman. I humbly thank you for thinking that I might as well surpass your family in business but I doubt that, knowing a new generation will come and lead your family's business" ani ko saka tiningnan si Lord Ellias na nakatingin na din saakin.

"But that doesn't mean that I will fall behind as well, for I achieved nothing but a pure success and dedication to work and help others in need"

"So I don't see why I shoudn't accept your proposal my Duke" ngiting ani ko dito na ikinangiti ng mga tao dito maliban nalang kay Lord Ellias na napatango nalang na parang proud na proud pa.

"So that means?" tanong ng nakangiting duke.

"Please to be in your care and knowlegde, Duke Floûman" inilahad ko ang kamay ko dito na agad din niyang tinanggap.

And by the time we shook hands, symbolized that we are officialy business partners.

'Goddess Lisha, thank you for bringing such talented and awesome people in my life, please continue to support and bless me my Goddess' ani ko sa isip habang nakatingin sa mga taong nasa harap ko na masayang nagkukwentuhan at enjoy na enjoy sa pagkain. I realized that maybe they are one of the richest and powerful people in this world but having the same goal and the same belief make them an ordinary person with so much respect. I hope that every people in this world are just like them.

I'm lucky to met and be friend with this respectable and noble family.

"Oho, so this is the famous Luna Inn that every aristicrats going crazy about." malakas na sabi ng Duke habang nililibot ang paningin sa loob ng Inn.

Nandito kami ngayon dahil gusto daw nilang mag-check in at maranasan na matulig sa Inn. They're rich so no wonder they didn't experience sleeping in the Inn. But I think it's cheating since my Inn is close to aristicrats house villa but small version.

"This place truly deserve it's noble name" sabi ng butler habang manghang minamasdan ang paligid.

"May I know what you just said?" takang tanong ko dito since I only knew one name and that is Luna Inn.

"Ohh, what I meant is, people including the nobles name this place the Eclipse Retreat" nakangiting sabi niya na mas lalo pang nagpakunot sa noo ko. 'Eclipse? but this place name is Luna?'

"Lady Lily, don't tell me you didn't heared about it?" gulat na sabi ni Arthimenia or Arthi, yan ang gustong niyang itawag ko sa kanya ng nakapag-usap kami kanina.

"Ahh hehe, well kind of" napakamot nalang ako sa pinge ko habang nakangiti sa kanya.

"Ehh? but you're adventurer and your business is well-known around the Eavergreén Kingdom, many local journalist including the famous journalist in capital and wetstern place visited this Inn and wrote how beauty this place are and even take pictures of this place to let other knows that this heavenly place exist." mahabang sabi niya habang nakahawak sa baba niya.

"But it's surprising how it look in person, I mean in pictures it does look stunning but with your own eyes, it cannot even match to the picture, it did not even catch the warm scenerity and atmosphere of this place. That magic camera is so injustice." sabi niya pa na parang may hinanakit sa camera at sa journalist.

"Ohh? pero anong konek nun sa binigay na pangalan ng mga tao dito sa lugar na ito?" takang tanong ko pa din.

"This place name is Luna, in ancient word meaning moon, but everything arounds it looks so warm and bright like Sun. The combinition of the two celestial bodies are breathtaking like this place and people can't help but name it Eclipse Retreat. They even stated that this place are like inviting their soul to visit and check-in and to enjoy the serenity of the celestial bodies combining with their own eyes." Napatingin ako kay Lord Ellias ng sabihin niya ito habang nakatingin din sa paligid pero kaagad na tumingin diretsyo sa mga mata ko.
Nangunot ang noo ko dahil sa ginawa nito pero pinagsawalang bahala ko nalang.

'For the first time, sentence ang sinagot niya' ani ko sa isip habang sina-side viewhan sya na ngayon ay nakataas na ang kilay saakin, nagtataka siguro sa ginagawa ko.

"They are so creative, I'm touched" malambing na sabi ko saka naglakad na papuntang kwarto kung saan sila pansamantalang tutuloy.

Kaagad naman silang sumunod saakin habang patuloy na minamasdan ang paligid, hindi pinapansin ang mga taong nakatingin at nagbubulungan ng kung ano-ano.

'I have a feeling na maraming tao ang bibisita sa Inn at shop pag nakarating na sa kanila ang balita na pumunta dito sa personal ang mga Floûman, not just Floûman kundi ang Duke at ang tagapag-mana nito' ani ko sa isip habang napangiti nalang ng ngiwi

'Well atleast my business will bloom' pampalubag loob na sabi ko nalang sa isip at napatango-tango.

'But the Moon and Sun ha? interesting, even I, the one who designed this place, didn't occur to me that I design this place like representing the Sun or even the Moon. Well come to think of it, in the center of this Inn where the stair is located, I kind of engraved the Goddess Lisha there but only the religious people will notice it since it's just a pattern and malayo sa itsura ng Dyosa, and I wonder why I did that?'

'Maybe I'm just grateful at her that's why?or maybe there's another reason?' 

"Nahh"  mabilis kong pinalig ang iniisip at pinokus nalang ang sarili sa mga taong nasa likudan ko ngayon na maingay na nagkukwentuhan, 'serioulsy this people, they are so comfortable ha'. Napangiti nalang ako hanggang sa maabot na namin ang 4 na kwartong tutuluyan nila.
