Investments for Love (Completed)

Thirtieth

It was almost 6 pm when Dani saw a surprise visitor knocking at her door.

"Tita Girlie, this is a pleasant surprise. Pasok po" she said. Tita Girlie comes in and gave Dani a peck

"Buti na lang nandito ka pa. Naistorbo ba kita?" Tita Girlie asked. "No naman Tita, medyo magaang ngayon kasi kakatapos lang ng month end report, nagpapalipas lang po ako ng traffic." Dani replied.

"Tara, have dinner with me" Tita Girlie said and she saw Dani got surprise in the invitation

"I am not taking No for an answer. Alam ko naman na wala ang boyfriend mo dito sa Manila kaya pwede kitang kidnapin" Tital Girlie uttered.

"He told you already?" Dani asked smiling "Of course kanina magkasama kaming naglunch and I am so happy therefore you have to come with me. Sa sobrang clingy nyang si James, I'm sure mahihirapan akong basta na lang ayain ka sa kahit saan. Kaya since bukas pa naman ang balik nya, tayo muna ang mag bonding"

"Sige po, pero convoy na lang po tayo dala ko po yung kotse ko eh" Dani said

"Oh no, I just ask the driver to drop me off. We can use your car, I'll just call my driver to pick me up wherever we prefer to go" Tita Girlie said

"Tita, sa inyo po ba natutunan ni James yan, o si James ang nagturo sa inyo?" Dani asked

"Ang alin?" Tita Girlie asked. "Yung hindi po pagdala ng kotse pag pumupunta dito" Dani said

Tita Girlie slightly laughs. "Whatever darling. Saan mo gustong kumain?" she asked Dani

"Pwede naman sa Toki ulit Tita" Dani replied smiling "Favorite mo yun di ba?"

"Oh you are so sweet darling" Tita Girlie said. "Sige na collate your things while I make reservations"

It was pass 7 pm when they reach Toki. They ordered their favorite dish and continue chatting about James, when suddenly are simple yet very elegant lady in her early fifties approach Tita Girlie. And if Dani is correct this lady is very familiar to her, she already saw her before "OMG, she is James Mom!" she say to herself.

"Hello Ate Rio, nice to bump in to you tonight" Tita Girlie acted

"Kamusta ka? I thought sumama ka kay James sa Batangas, cannot be reach ang phone mo eh." Mommy Rio said

"Ayoko dun, kaya na nila Lizzie at Eric yun. Bakit mo ako tinatawagan?" Tita Girlie asked

"I want to give you your invitation for my party. Can I join you?" Mommy Rio asked

"Of course" Tita Girlie replied then Mommy Rio sat besides Tita Girlie facing Dani.

"You have company Girlie, baka nakakaistorbo ako" Mommy Rio pretended asking

"No, this is not a business meeting anyway. Actually, I just grab Daniella in her office, medyo na miss ko na kasing ka dinner ang batang ito" Tita Girlie replied and Dani greeted the lady in front of her "Good evening Ma'am" she said smiling

"Daniella? Your name is Daniella. My son James, his girlfriend's name is Daniella too" Mommy Rio said

"She is James girlfriend" Tita Girlie declared. "Oh I'm sorry iha. I'm so glad that I finally meet you" Mommy Rio said. "Hello po, nice to meet you too po" Dani politely said

"You may call me Mommy Rio" Mommy Rio said which makes Dani stunned and Tita Girlie noticed it. "But, Tita Rio would be better" she butt-in "Dani will be more comfortable with that" she added.
