"Ni hao ma, Quinn xiao jie."
"Yeah, hello, Mr. Wang. I boarded the jet, in three hours or sooner I'll land to Singapore. How is the negotiation going?"
"Miss Elsa is free from jail, bie dan xin, xiao jie. But Yu Fei and his family is not convinced about your existence, they want proof."
I rolled my eyes. Yeah like I'll made up my existence. "Don't they know how to use internet to verify my credentials?"
"Forgive foolish people, xiao jie. Dui bu qui."
"No it's fine. Proof is what they want, proof is what I'll give."
"Very well then. I'll arrange your car and you will be brought directly to Raffles Hotel where I had Miss Elsa stay. May I know what your plans are, xiao jie?"
"None of the moment. The sooner the issue is done, I will get back to the Philippines. I am with my brother and my mother."
I heard him gasp. Malamang dahil nalaman niyang kasama ko nanay kong monggoloyd. "You are with Quinn Taitai?"
"Yeaaaah. She has the jet I'm flying in, I had to call her from France so I can use the jet for a day or two. It doesn't bother her as far as travelling is concerned."
"Ah shi. I recall Taitai as a free spirited one. She enjoys travelling very much."
Free spirited? Ligaw na kaluluwa kamo.
April arranged my schedule for the next day or two. Tapos tinawagan ko rin si b1 para sana ibilin sa kanyang pakainin si Honeydew. Well sorry, di pwedeng magsama ng labrador sa Singapore. Ang dyahe lang nu'n. May tumakas na ngang asong ulol na nagtago sa baggage ko eh.
"Ate, hindi pala ako nakapagdala ng damit, sha-shopping mo'ko?" speaking of the asong ulol.
"Hindi, dalawang araw na ganyan ang suot mo."
"Ate naman eh."
Ngumiti lang si April, senyales na aayusin niya 'yon. Napailing lang ako. The privilege of being a Quinn. Kailangan ko na talagang i-rush ang adoption papers ni Zane. I want him to be a proper Quinn. Four years later and he's still acting like he's going to starve eventually. I don't want him feeling like that.
"Ma'am, andito na po tayo."
"About time."
Kung pwede ko lang lagyan ng leash sa leeg sina Mommy at Zane ginawa ko na. Pagkababa na pagkababa nila ng jet, kung saan-saan sila nagpupupunta. Yung entourage na sumalubong sa'min mukha namang aliw na aliw sa dalawa. Seryoso? -__-
"Tantanan n'yo nga 'yan, mukha kayong monggoloyd."
"Ate, ate, tignan mo oh! Sirenang leon!"
"Bebeeeee gurrrlll! Look look! Ang puge oh! Wala lang mata!"
Haist. Ayoko na.
For a last minute rent, disente ang Avanza na napadala ni Mr. Wang sa amin. From Changi Airport diretso kami sa Beach Road where Raffles Hotel is located. The hotel's structure is classy yet historical. Parang pang-Intramuros lang ang datingan. Chos. xD
An old man of around forty's to fifty's stood in the foyer habang naghahakot ng gamit yung mga staff. Sinalubong niya kami and right then and there I realized it's Mr. Wang.
