**Gianni Bien's POV


'Good morning again, my love! Happy First day of work! Let's celebrate tonight! I love you!'


Binasa ko ang text ni Miranda sa akin. Kinikilig pa rin ako sa mga simpleng bagay na ginagawa niya sa akin. She woke up extra early to pick me up for work. Tipong mas excited pa siya na pumasok ako sa trabaho kaysa sa akin.


Dala dala ko na ang mga gamit ko dahil ngayon ang unang araw ko para magtrabaho sa kumpanya. Hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang plano ni Dad sa akin basta raw pumasok ako ng maaga at dumiretso sa office niya.


"Good morning, Dad." Humarap si Dad sa akin. I looked at him wondering why is he wearing a Levi's 501 and matching it with a white polo shirt.


"Good morning, Gianni. It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" He beams at me. Napatingin ako sa labas ng bintana niya, the sun is shining bright as always and the sky is still blue.


I looked at him weirdly, "Should I start as a clerk or what, Dad?" I don't want to utter the word secretary.


Lumapit ito sa akin at ipinatong ang mga kamay nito sa mga balikat ko. He's making me walk towards the table, "Well?"


My eyes went wide, "Dad.." binasa ko ang nakalagay sa desk na pangalan.


Gianni Bien Carreon, MBA
President, CGP


"Isn't it too soon, Dad?" Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered that my Dad thinks that I'm fit for the position. But I just don't think that I have it in me yet.


"Did you actually think that I let you go in New York all by yourself? I got my eyes around you, my dearest daughter. You've done a great job at Hilton's." Feeling ko final na ang decision ni Dad, "You and Giovani can help each other out." as if his decision doesn't even faze him.


"But--" I didn't expect this at all. Akala ko ay magsisimula akong muli sa ibababa pero... President agad?!


"And I'm leaving now. Your mother's waiting for me. You don't want her to wait that long, don't you?" I can no longer argue with him, "And Gianni, I have an endorsement to make. There's a file on top of your table. Whatever your client will say, give her a hard time. Don't make it too easy to get the deal." Pinulot ko ang folder na itinuturo ni Dad at binasa ang nakalagay sa harap: Quaz Condominium.


"But why?"


"It's between Fathers' boundaries. Just do me a favor, please." Pero bago ako makagalaw ay sumilip ulit si Dad mula sa pintuan, "I know you can do this." That gave me a little confidence.


"

Thanks, Dad." I said hesitantly.


Kinuha ko ang picture frame na dala-dala ko at ipinatong sa mesa ko. Unang larawan namin ito ni Miranda noong umamin ako sa kanya. Basang basa kami sa ulan pero iyong ganda nito ay hindi mo maikukubli.


-Miranda Calling-


'Hi, my love.' I started while trying to scan the file in my hand.


'I miss you.' Nasabi ko nga pala dati na pwede na niya akong ma-miss kada segundo. Napangiti ako lalo.
