Deanna's POV
Inhaling the cold breeze here in Baguio, I massaged my temple as I keep staring at the view. It's saturday morning and I still have many things to do.
4 days ago, I rushed here kasi galing ako kila Jema at umuwi pa ako sa Makati and go straight here. We're putting up a hotel so I have to personally see the lot with the team and plan everything.
Everytime talaga na magtatayo ako ng business, I make sure na super hands on ako kasi hindi naman ito biro. Although I have the best team, I still wanna check everything and see it with my own eyes.
I don't know why I woke up early today kahit free time ko ngayon. I just sit here in lounge at tumulala sa napakagandang view ng Baguio. It's so fresh here.
My breakfast got interrupted when my phone rang. It's my secretary.
"Hello Boss D"
"Hello" formal na sabi ko sa kanya.
"I just wanna remind you po na may game ang Creamline ngayon sa Araneta, yun lang po kasi ang tanging schedule niyo for today"
"Oh right" I slap myself, how could I forgot the day.
"Babalik po ba tayo sa Manila today?" tanong niya. "Kasi meron po kayong 7am meeting with the supplier bukas"
Napaisip ako, halos apat na oras ang byahe pauwi at gagawin ko yun para makanood ng game nila Jema. Besides miss ko na siya.
"You and the team will stay here. Ako na lang ang babalik" sabi ko sa kanya.
"Alright po"
"Make sure that everything is fine here while I'm gone. Tell Kuya June to prepare the car" sabi ko sa kanya then hang up.
It's almost 9 when I'm done preparing myself. I told my driver to stop by sa isang bilihan ng pasalubong. Binilan ko din yung teammates niya, siguradong matutuwa yung mga yon.
Sa dami kong binili ay tatlong plastic bag yung dala ko, tinulungan pa ako ni Kuya Anthony na dalhin yun kasi mabigat.
Nung may nadaanan kaming flower shop ay bumili ako ng bouquet of sunflowers, favorite ni Jema.
Sa kotse ko inayos yung para kay Jema at para sa teammates niya before I decided to take a nap.
Nagising ako dahil sa busina, traffic means nasa Manila na kami.
12:30 na pala nun, I haven't eaten lunch.
Since 2pm pa naman yung game ay sinabihan ko si Kuya June na kumain muna kami sa isang steak house.
Kumain kami dun pati yung mga bodyguards ko, hindi ko naman sila pinapabayaan. After kumain ay bumyahe na ulit kami and I decided to call Jema but she didn't answer.
Siguro ay nasa arena na sila. Buti na lang at may number ako ni Ma'am Lizanne kaya tinawagan ko siya.
Nakailang rings bago sumagot.
"Hello, sino po ito?" she asked, probably my number is unregistered.
"Ma'am, this is Deanna Wong"
"Oh Deans, bakit napatawag ka?" she asked, I can hear the loud noise from her background.
"Ahmm, Jema's not answering her phone but I bet nasa arena na po kayo because of the loud noise" sabi ko, gusto ko lang makausap si Jema before her game kasi I don't think na makakaabot ako before yun magstart.
We're stuck sa traffic.
"Yeah, malapit na magsimula yung game. Nasa dugout na sila" sabi neto. Hindi ako makapagisip, pano ko ba sasabihin na gusto kong makausap si Jema indirectly, nahihiya kasi ako.
