All of them were there including Zeijan. Agad na tumayo ang lahat para magbigay ng galang sa mga bagong dating.
They were talking about business so I remained silent. Ramdam ko din ang tingin ni Rachna sa akin.
"Dad, what's with the sudden visit?" tanong ng ama ni Roemer sa chairman.
Chaiman laughed. "I wanted to see Zeijan." sagot niya at sinulyapan ako.
Humigpit ang hawak ko sa tinidor dahil sa narinig. Napatingin ako sa asawa ng chairman na ngayon ay parang pinapanuod nang masinsinan ang bawat galaw ko.
"I missed you po!" Zeijan answered. Natawa naman ang lahat maliban sa akin at si Rachna.
"Who is this young lady?" mataray na tanong ni Rachna. She's obviously asking about me.
"She's the mother of my son." sagot ni Roemer. I tried so hard not to glare at her attitude.
"Have we met before?" She asked.
"I'm afraid not, maam." I uttered. She chuckled but there's no humor plastered in her face.
"But you look familiar." She insisted.
Really? Of course I do look familiar. I look like my mother, Mariana. The mistress of your husband. Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko na sabihin iyon.
Nanginginig ang bibig kong pinilit na lang na ngumiti.
"I have seen the news. And even the interview. I can't help but to feel disappointed, Roemer." naiiling na sambit niya.
I felt the sudden rising of tension. Dahil maging si Dhelia ay umiba ang timpla. Roemer stopped from eating and clenched his jaw.
"Sa tagal ng panahon bago mo pinakilala ang anak mo sa kanyang ama. Ano na lang ang sinabi nila sayo? Disgrasyada?"
"Rachna!" Chairman's scream echoed in the dining hall. Nanginig ang kamay ko dahil sa sobrang galit. Napatingin ako kay Roemer na parang sasabog na.
I placed my hand over his legs trying to calm him. The bitch laughed sarcastically.
Agad na iniutos ni Rafael ang isang kasambahay para ilayo si Zeijan. Sumunod naman ang bata at pumunta sila sa itaas.
"What was your excuse during the interview?" She scoffed.
That's when I remember what Roemer and I did to calm down the media. ,Scenes flashed on my mind.
"Is everything ready?" Tanong ng baklang sa harap namin. Naayos na din ang mga camera sa harap namin. At kung anu-anu pang mga gamit.
