Belle's POV
Nasasakyan kami ngayon patungo sa school ng mga bata para sunduin sila.
Tahimik lang ako habang bumabyahe kami at alam kong kanina pa ako tinitingnan ni Art.
"Ahm Belle... Do we have a problem?"
"Wala naman. Bakit mo natanong"
Wala naman talagang problema nawala langtalaga ako sa mood ng makita ko si Lorraine worst kasama pa nya. Hindi lang talaga ako palagay sa babaeng yun. She might have an angelic face but there's something telling me not to trust her.
"Eh bakit kanina ka pa walang kibo, kahit nung nasa restaurant hindi ka rin nagsasalita."
"Wala nga. Marami lang akong iniisip wag mo na lang akong pansinin."
Nakarating na kami sa school ng mga bata at tumigil na rin si Art sa kakatanong.
"Daddy, mommy" sigaw ni Rain makita kami na papalapit na sa kanila sabay yakap sa daddy nya. Si Winter naman ayun nakaupo lang at nagbabasa.
"Winter let's go." Kuha ko ng atensyon ni Winter. Tumayo sya at sumunod na sa kakambal nya.
NEXT DAY.....
"Hon I need to go now ikaw na munang maghatid sa mga bata"
Paalam ni Art pagbaba nya.
"Hindi ka na ba mag-aalmusal muna?"
"Hindi na hon. Kailangan kong pumasok ng maaga ngayon sa office. Sige na bye"
"Ok bye ingat ka" paalam ko sa kanya at dumeretso na sya palabas.
ART'S POV
"What is this urgent meeting all about? Urgent that you need to call me in the middle of the night just to inform me. It better be urgent gentlemen"
Panimula ko pagkapasok ko ng conference room. Alam nilang lahat na ayaw na ayaw kong may tumatawag sakin regarding sa trabaho kapag kasama ko na ang pamilya ko. Kaya siguraduhin lang nilang importante ito.
"Mr. Santillian we called this meeting because of a major problem that needs to be fix immediately."
"So what is it then? Just get to the point"
"Our clients are backing out and some of our investors are asking what is happening"
"What? How did this happen? Why are they backing out?"
'There's someone here in our company sabotaging us. The competitor company are gaining our clients. Our products that should be launch next month they had launch it last week. Someone gave them our strategy and our idea. And because of that our stock value are decreasing. We need to find a solution for this Mr. Santillian asap."
"So what are your suggestions gentlemen?"
"We are thinking sir to lessen the damage and to gain the profit back we need to sell some of our stocks or we need to fire some employees. That are the best solutions for this sir."
"What? We can't do that. Find another solution for this I'll give you one week to think and if we really have no choice we will sell some of our stocks we can't fire our employees they are the reason why we are still existing in the business world."
"But sir-"
"No buts Mr. Castillo. My decision is final and do what it takes to know who is the spy inside the company. Now this meeting is adjourned. You can leave now"
"How can this happen? I need to find out whose behind this mess. This is the first time something like this happened to our company's history."
BELLE'S POV
Kanina pa ako naghihintay kay Art dapat kanina pa sya nandito sa bahay ng 7. What time is it, it's already 11 pm.
Saan na ba yung lalaking yun. Naku wag ko lang malalaman na may kasama syang babae malilintikan ka talaga sakin Arthur Santillian.
Nagbabasa ako sa sala ng makarinig ako ng makina ng sasakyan.
"Si Art na ata yun." Sabi ko sa sarili ko.
Hindi na ako lumabas at hinintay ko na lang syang pumasok. Iinterrogate ko na sana sya ng makita ko ang itsura nya.
Mukha syang nalugi sa itsura nya at mukhang pagod na pagod.
"Hey why are you still awake?" Tanong nya sakin.
"Hinihintay kita."
"You don't have too. Yung mga bata?"
Aba sya na tong hinintay galit pa.
"Tulog na gusto ka nga rin sanang hintayin kaso baka mapuyat kaya hindi ko na pinayagan"
"Is that so. Sige tara na sa taas pagod na ako."
Pagpasok namin sa kwarto hinubad nya lang ang sapatos at coat nya at nahiga na sa kama. Aba walang balak magpalit.
"Anong nangyari at bakit ngayon ka lang"
"Bukas na lang tayo mag-usap Belle. Im dead tired I want to sleep. Good night"
Hinayaan ko na lang hindi ko rin naman makakausap ng matino ito. Bukas na lang.
Maagang dumating ang mommy ni Art para sunduin ang mga bata. Ipapasyal daw nya. Kaya kaming dalawa lang ngayon sa bahay ni Art.
"Hey good morning nasan ang mga bata?" Tanong ni Art. His in his office attire. Its saturday walang office.
"Maagang sinundo ng mommy mo. Ipapasyal daw nya. Bakit ka nakabihis pang-office saturday ngayon ah." Pansin ko sa kanya.
"I need to go to the office. I need to fix something."
"Ano bang problema? Gabi ka na umuwi kahapon ngayon namang sabado papasok ka? Hoy Mr. Santillian hindi ka pa nagpapaliwanang sa atraso mo kahapon dadagdagan mo pa."
"Belle please not now."
"Magtapat ka nga gumagawa ka nanaman ba ng kalokohan HA!"
Naiirita na ako kasi pwede naman magpaliwanag ng maayos may pa not now not now pang nalalaman.
"Im not doing anything Belle."
"Then what is it?" tumaas na ang boses ko ang dami kasing segway eh.
"I dont want to drag you to my problem so please, just don't ask okay?"
"No. Kung anong problema mo problema ko rin. Baka po nakakalimutan nyo MR. SANTILLIAN na ASAWA mo ako."
"I know that but-"
"No buts sasabihin mo ba o hindi" putol ko sa sasabihin nya.
"Fine." He let out a sigh and continue..
"I need to fix something in the office and I'm sorry last night. The company is at risk right now and I need to find a solution to it asap. So please try to understand."
"I understand it, you just need to tell me. You dont need to deal with it yourself that's why Im here right"
"I know and I'm sorry. Thank you for understanding and I love you"
He hugged me tight and kissed me on my forehead.
"I love you too okay. Im just here to support you remember that" and i hugged him back. Isn't my husband the sweetest thing.
OFFICE
Sumama ako kay Art sa office. Gusto ko lang syang samahan kahit hindi ako makatulong I just want to give my support to my husband even thru small things like making his coffee or buy him lunch.
"Good morning sir, ma'am" salubong sa kanya ng secretary.
"Sir your father is waiting in your office" sabi ng secretary ni Art.
Anong ginagawa ni Daddy Enrique dito? Ganun ba kalala ang problema ng kompanya nila at kailngang pumunta ni daddy dito?
Pumasok kami sa office.
"Dad, what brings you here?" tanong ni Art sa daddy nya.
"I just want to check on you and the company's condition. I heard that the company is in jeoprody?"
"Dad you are over reacting. We are already in the process of solving it dad, and plus we are still looking for the culprit who leaked the information to the other company."
"it's good to hear that son, oh Caroline what brought you here in the office I thought you don't want to be in your husband's boring office." seriously ngayon lang ako napansin ni daddy grabe ah at alam nya na ayaw ko sa office ni Art.
Totoo naman pagnandito ako wala akong ginawa kung hindi umupo lang at titigan ang asawa kong busy sa kakabasa ng kung ano anong papel. Kaya I prefer my career atleast doon gumagana ang utak ko at kamay ko diba.
"Ah dad sabado naman po wala akong pasok kaya sinamahan ko si Art saka wala naman po akong gagawin sa bahay sinundo po ni mommy Sari yung kambal"
"ok sige aalis na ako dumaan lang ako to check things around here saka tumawag ang mommy nyo pinapasunod ako sa kanila sa mall. Alam nyo naman yun pagkasama ang mga apo nya kung ano ano ang pinagbibili."
Umalis na si daddy as I said nakaupo lang ako habang pinapanuod ko ang asawa ko.
"Art totoo ba yung sinabi mo kay daddy na naayos na yung problema sa company?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"No!" Maikli nyang sagot
"Then why did you said those things to your dad?"
"Ayoko lang syang mag-alala. Masyado na syang matanda para intintidihin pa ang company." he said, still looking to his papers
"ano bang mangyayari pag nagpatuoy yung problema sa kompanya"
"The company might loose everything. We already decided to sell some stocks and I'm afraid that we need to fire some employees and I dont want that to happen. I treasure every single employee in this company."
This is worst than I expected.
Im in the middle of thinking when my phone beep.
