Chapter Fifteen

"Okay!" Sir Pio clapped his hands to get our attentions. "This coming saturday, may catering tayo!"

"Saan Sir?" Si Dimple.

"Lausingco Hotels. At mamimili ako ng isasama ko doon para tumulong sa akin, okay?"

Pumalakpak si Steffi. "Anong meron Sir?"

He smiled. "Engagement party nina Ram at Vexy."

Sina Dimple ang tumili matapos sabihin ni Sir Pio iyon.

Ah, so engaged na talaga yung kapatid nya? Good for them. Nagkaroon ng short meeting. I listen to it carefully.

"So," baritonong boses ni Sir Pio. "I'm choosing, Dimple, Steffi and Tinay. Kasama din si Kiko to help me cooked the food."

"At iyong tatlong babae, will help to serve food."

"The rest, nandito naman si Aina that time."

"Sir," tinaas ni Dimple ang kamay nya. "Anong oras po ang start ng party?"

"Around six pm. But we have to be early." Mataman nyang sabi na tiningnan kaming tatlo.

"Okay, Sir." Si Steffi.

Tumango nalang din ako at pagkatapos ay bumalik na kami sa pagtatrabaho.

The bell above the door rang, ayaw ko man pero napatingin ako doon para tinignan kung sino ang pumasok na costumer.

I saw old lady wearing a simple tshirt and a black leggings. She's even wearing a headband. Kasunod nya ang isang babaeng nakaputi, that I am guessing her private nurse.

The old lady stand still, hindi nakatakas ang amoy na apple sa akin noong mapadaan sya sa gilid ko. Kaso huminto sya at hinarap ako uli.

I had to blinked twice. Eventhough she's wearing a simple clothes, everything screams elegance.

"Miss.." she called my attention.

I was about to answer when Ma'am Aina approached her.

"Lola! What brought you here?"

"Aina.. my lovely Aina."

Ma'am Aina kissed the old lady's cheeks.

"Nagjogging ka na naman, Lola? Have a seat. I'm going to call Piolo."

"Yes please. And I want some garden salad." Nilingon nya ang nurse sa tabi. "Aimee, ano gusto mo?"

"Salad nalang din, Madam."

"Okay, find our table."

Tumango ang babaeng nurse. Pumunta na ako sa serving station para sabihin ang order noong matandang babae.

Ilang saglit pa ay lumabas si Sir Pio sa opisina at agad na tinungo ang matandang babae na nakaupo na ngayon habang kausap pa din si Ma'am Aina.

"Sino yun?" Kulbit ko kay Maricar.

"Ah, lola ni Sir Pio. Di mo kilala? Founder ng Lausingco Hotels." Sagot nya. "The Mighty Yolanda Lausingco."

I nodded. From the looks of that old lady, lahat nagsusumigaw ng karangyaan. Iyong tipong nakakahiya tumabi sa kanila kasi parang hindi ka babagay, ganun? But eventhough I'm a Duchess in our country, in this country, I am just an ordinary person that doesn't fit in their world.

Dumating ang tray ng salad na order ni Mrs. Yolanda Lausingco. I carefully carried it.

"I am so excited for their engagement party. Finally, Ramgiorel is ready to settle down." Nilingon nya si Sir Pio. "How 'bout you, apo? Kelan mo papakilala ang magiging asawa mo?"
