Love, Hate

Donny:

He decided to go back to work, BUT not Martine. Mas mabuti siguro para dito na nasa bahay na muna. She seem stressed. Kagagaling lang niya sa sakit. Naaalala palang ulit niya lahat and then the other night, she's so vulnearable. I think it might be too much for her.

He decided to ask for an appointment to Dad Antonio's office to let him know his back as COO.

Donny: Good morning sir.

Dad: Welcome back COO. Agad itong lumapit at kinamayan ako.

Donny: Thank you.. Im taking my office back plus all my responsibilities but.. Mr. President..

Dad: Go on Donny, Dad nlang muna looks like pamilya ang pag uusapan natin.

Donny: Yes dad, Ayoko po sana munang mag hold ng office si Martine. I want to to give her more time.

Dad: Why what happened?

Donny: I feel guilty about everything dad. Ikwinento ko ang naoobserbahan ko kay Martine. The sudden changes in emotions. Her breakdown.

Dad: My daughter.. I feel sad.. Ill talk to her don't worry.. I am part of it also, masyado kung pinpush na magkaapo na ako. You see i am getting old. Sana maabutan ko manlang ang apo ko but Martine, my daughter is important. Anak ko pa rin ang pipiliin ko.

Donny: the same dad, were on the same boat. Thank you! Napansin kong pumayat ito, hulog ang katawan at mukhang kulang sa tulog.

Dad: Okay COO back to work! Im glad andito ka na.. It's been hectic and some changes..

Donny: Dad.. are you alright? Pumayat kayo at mukhang di maganda tulog niyo nangingitim ilalim ng mga mata niyo.

Dad: Ahh lately hindi ako ganung makatulog.. but im okay. Dont worry about me.

Donny: Do you want to get you check? Wag niyong pababayaan sarili niyo dad..

Dad: Im fine Donny, im good.. Thank you.

Donny: Just tell me dad kung may kelangan ka. I love you okay.

Dad: Yeah and i love you son. Tinapik nito ang balikat ko bago ako umalis.

Donny: Theirs something wrong sa isip ko. The vibe of the office is diferent. Hmmm I have to talk to Gino.

Pagkadating sa office agad tumayo si Gino, my secretary at sinalubong ako.

Gino: Welcome back sir. nakangiti nitong bati sakin.

Donny: thank you, I need your report from the day i left till now. Tell me kung anong sitwasyon natin para alam ko nasaan tayo at ang kompanya.

Gino: okay sir.. in 30 minutes, i have to print it out. Hindi ko alam na ngayon ang balik mo.

Donny: Napaaga. Anyway it's good to see you Gino. Kumusta si Kiara? Pakasalan mo na yun! nakangiti kong payo.

Gino: Malapit na sir..

Donny: that's my boy. See you sa office okay. And coffee please.

Gino: Right away sir! sige po.
