Today's the start of the construction. Isabel's already at Quezon, staying at Bianca's resort. While the others are on their way, including their people.
Good thing that Deanna has a branch hardware at Quezon. So it's easy to get some materials. While the import material is also prepared and been shipped on the construction site.
They got six months to finish it. All of the people involve signed the contract to finish it within six months time frame.
Jhoana
Now we're on our way to Quezon. Actually first time ko lang makakapunta sa Quezon. Never got the chance really. Nababanggit lang sakin to ni Bei dati. She told me when we were in college. That her plan was to build a house near an ocean. Well base sa narinig ko, sobrang ganda daw ng nabiling lupa ni Isabel. Guess she's living her dream.
"Oh Jho, bakit ang lalim ng iniisip mo?" Alyssa
"We'll be staying here for six months straight. Nakakalungkot lang." Jhoana
"Anong nakakalungkot don gurl?" Ella
"I'll miss Nico." Jhoana
"Ahhhh. We got the weekend naman daw sabi ni Boss Isabel, gusto niya lang full time committed tayo during weekdays. It's not like we'll do the construction hahahahaha." Alyssa
"Won't you miss Ate Den?" Jhoana
"Ah si Den? Susunduin ko din siya sa Friday hahaha! She just need to file some paperworks bago pumunta dito." Alyssa
"Sana all." Deanna
"Bakit di mo isama si Jema?" Ella
"She's busy daw eh. Di niya pwedeng iwan na lang basta basta ang Creamline at yung work niya." Deanna
"Eh bakit si Ate Ly and Jia is here." Jhoana
"Hiatus...nagsabay pa silang dalawa so hindi na talaga pwede iwan ng bebe ko yung Creamline." Deanna
"Drama drama pwede naman lumuwas ng weekend." Ella
"Palibhasa wala kang boyfriend... kelan mo ba balak Ate Ells, ikaw na lang ata single sa Team Besh!" Deanna
"Ang sabihin mo di pa nakakamove on yan sa nangghost sa kanya! Hahahaha" Alyssa
"Ang daldal Alyssa, sinusubukan yata nito ang bibig ko." Ella
"Weh naghost ka Donya? Hahahahahaha" Jhoana
"Nagsalita yung literal naghost ng ex" Ella
"Ella with a solid block!" Alyssa
Hayyy edi ako na ang naghost ng literal. I haven't seen her since the last meeting. I heard she stayed at Bianca's to rest and prepare everything.
Di ko siya miss no... I'm just stating what happened for the past days.
We arrived early than the estimated time of arrival.
Marco, Bianca and Thirdy were the one who greeted us.
May bumulong naman sakin.
"Psst Picasso anong nililingon lingon mo diyan? May nakalimutan ka ba sa sasakyan?" Ella
"Huh wala ah. Chinecheck ko lang place ni Bianca." Jhoana
"Hmmm akala ko hinahanap mo si Isabel." Ella
"Bakit ko naman hahanapin yon?" Jhoana
"Kasi boss natin siya? Hahahahaha" ella
"Tigilan mo nga ako Ate Ells." Jhoana
"Agang aga ang init ng ulo ha! Aminin mo na hinahanap mo si Isabel." Ella
Napalakas na pala boses niya non at napalingon sina Thirdy.
"Oh about Boss Isabel, wala pa siya. May sinundo kasi siya sa airport, pero they're on their way here naman. Sinabi naman niya na mauna na tayo magbreakfast then proceed na sa project." Thirdy
Kinurot ko naman si Ate Ells sa tagiliran,
"yan kadaldalan mo ha!" Jhoana
Tumawa lang naman sina Ate Ells sa inasta ko.
Saktong may dumating na sasakyan, hindi familiar samin to. Isang Audi R8 at Kia Seltos. Kay Jia yung Kia. So sino tong isa pang sasakyan.
And there she was, everything in slowmo.
Binuksan niya yung driver seat sa kabilang sasakyan and it was Jia. Oh sabay pala sila
Then akala ko yun na yon.
Then binuksan niya din yung shotgun seat ng sasakyan niya.
It's Jana Pages.
Isabel
Last night I left Quezon, because I need to fetch boo at 3 am at the airport. While along the way, nagkita kami ni Jia sa stop over. She was late daw because of her brother, Bok Morado. I don't know the exact reason pero kasabay ko naman siya so it's okay for me.
"Good morning guys, sorry we're late." Isabel
"Good morning Isabel! Oh Jia! And OMG JANA!!!" Bianca
"I think you guys know me naman no? Hahahaha" Jana
Ngumiti naman silang lahat at nakipagbeso sina Ate Ly at Ate Ells kay Jana.
She went home to help me with the resort. She's an Architect too.
"Let me introduce myself formally, Architect Jana Pages." Jana
"Omg hindi nga? Architect ka din pala? Uy! Same kayo ni Jho!" Alyssa
"Ah yeah about that, Jana was the one who designed Bianca's resort. I know naman na Jho's the head architect. Gusto lang talaga umuwi ni Boo." Isabel
"I'm not here to work Bei! I'm here to have vacation asa ka!" Jana
"Uhmm I'm just saying that." Isabel
"But... how? Like how?" Ella
"What do you mean?" Isabel
"Does she know what happened to you?" Deanna
"Ahhhh back then, I met her at Louvre Museum during an auction. I was kinda surprised when she approached me. Like you know she hugged me real tight. I was really damn startled!" Isabel
"Yea I remember that! She was like, who the hell is this girl. Nagsabi pa siya sakin ng Who are you? Medyo pinush niya ko ng very light." Jana
"Excuse me? I did not! Hahahaha Good thing Bianca was there and she explained it to her. So ayon na-orient siya and since then we've been going out, almost everyday, i think right?" Isabel
"Kase you're pestering me to go out on a date with you." Jana
And everyone was like "oooohhhh"
"Isabel di mo naman pala sinabi na chickboy ka pa din." Alyssa
"Hala ka hindi ah! Loyal ako ah." Isabel
Nagtawanan naman silang lahat. I used to date Jana but we realized na di kami bagay hahahahaha. We're both tall and kinda awkward dating.
I didn't notice Jia left.
"Where's Ju?" Isabel
"Oh she said, she's going inside her room." Marco
"Excuse me Boo and guys, puntahan ko lang si Jia para sabay sabay na tayong kumain." Isabel
Jhoana
"Hala ka hindi ah! Loyal ako ah." Isabel
"Loyal...loyal sa lima." Jhoana
Nakaramdam naman ako ng kurot mula sa tagiliran ko. And it was Ate Ells
"What the hell bakit ka nangungurot?" Jhoana
"Bakla ka narinig ko yung binulong mo!" Ella
"Ako din Ate Jho, halatang halata ka. Hahahaha" Deanna
"I'm not jealous." Jhoana
"Wala naman kaming sinabing nagseselos ka." Ella
"Tigilan niyo nga ako." Jhoana
"Okay init baga." Ella
I'm not jealous, bakit ako magseselos? Pake ko kung naglalandian sila ni Jana or ni Jia. Di naman pala ako nainform na mahilig siya sa J.
Sana Louisse na lang ginamit kong pangalan.
Ano ba self bakit ka ba naiinis.
Dumating na silang dalawa ni Jia kaya nagsimula na kaming mag-almusal.
"Guys enjoy the food, it's gonna be a long day." Isabel
"Oy Isabel bawal landian sa work." Thirdy
"Who says I'm being malandi." Isabel
I whisper to myself again saying, "bakit hindi ba?"
Pinandilatan naman ako ni Ate Ells, gosh napalakas na naman ba utak ko.
"Ikaw gurl, napapaghalataan ka na." Ella
"Kumain ka na lang diyan, daming daldal." Jhoana.
I immediately finish my food at nagpaalam sa kanilang pupunta muna ako sa kwarto ko to freshen up bago magstart ng work.
Inayos ko na muna mga gamit ko. And my phone ringed it is Nico's number
"Hi future wife, i miss you already." Nico
"I miss you too." Jhoana
"Are you okay lang ba diyan? Hindi ka naman nila inaaway?" Nico
"Sira bakit naman nila ako aawayin." Jhoana
"Baka lang naman love. Eh yung boss mo ba mabait?" Nico
"Ah oo love mabait naman siya." Jhoana
"What's your boss name? Di ko pa din alam eh." Nico
Bigla namang may kumatok sa pintuan ko.
"Picasso naliligo ka na ba? We have 30 minutes tas meeting na daw sabi ni Boss Isabel." Ella
Tinakpan ko naman agad yung phone.
"Sorry love I have to go. Kailangan ko pa maligo kasi may meeting kami in 30 minutes. See you soon, i love you love." Jhoana
"Oh okay, I'll call you later. Update me okay?wag ka magpakapagod. I love you more future wife." Nico
I immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Nico
I asked what her boss name, cause really I am curious sa big account na hawak nila. All I know it was LXM but still hindi pa din nalalaunch kung sino ang CEO ng company na to.
I had the chance to work with them pero grabe lang talaga yung nangyaring bidding, di ko alam kung sinasadya ba yon pero di na talaga kami nakalaban.
I heard na in a month i-aannounce naman sa Forbes magazine kung sinong CEO siya. Well I can wait naman. Right now I need to focus on finding Miguel.
Buti na lang Jho's away for weekdays.
I've been lying to her telling that Papa send me on an errand when actually not.
I don't like lying to her. Pero para saming dalawa to.
If it's really true that Bea is alive. I will be doomed lalo na kung hindi ko makikita si Miguel sa lalong madaling panahon.
Kiefer is still not talking kahit ipabugbog ko na siya sa mga inmates doon. Wala pa din sadyang matigas siya para umimik.
I heard from my people that Loel is working alone. His parents is still not here, I think.
Kaya baka pinaglalaruan lang din naman ako ni Kiefer.
I'm now on my way to my secret house in Pampanga. I need to gather some data pa.
Jhoana
We are now right here sa office ni Bianca.
We're gonna conduct a meeting.
"So today, officially start na yung construction, iniintay na tayo ng mga tauhan natin sa labas. Deanna you're with the materials right?" Bianca
"Babe and also Ella is the interior designer." Isabel
"Who's your engineer Bei?" Jana
"Oh si Engr. Valdez" Isabel
"Naknang bigatin ka na Boss Ly ah! Bigat non Engr. Valdez" Thirdy
"Sira!" Alyssa
"Then my architect, Jhoana. You have the plan naman na no?" Isabel
"A-ah y-yeah I brought it of course." Jhoana
"Ah so ayun kumpleto naman na. I hope we can all achieve this within six months time frame. Let's get to work." Isabel
We all went outside to introduce ourselves.
Pinakilala naman kami ni Isabel sa mga tauhan niya.
"Picasso! Anong feeling ng tinawag na "my architect"? Hahahaha" Ella
"Yiee si Ate Jho kinikilig." Deanna
"Uy oo nga narinig ko yon Boss Jhoana. Alam ko namang may Nico ka na. Pero syempre iba pa din ang first love diba?" Thirdy
"First love? First love niyo mukha niyo. Ako kinikilig? Di siya first love ko no? Sino siya si Abraham? Mga bunganga niyo magtrabaho nga kayo." Jhoana
"Init naman ng ulo ni Boss Jhoana." Thirdy
"Kasi di naman talaga first love, greates love kasi Thirds." Alyssa
"Sumali din siya sa pang aasar eh. Trip niyo ko?" Jhoana
"Ahm guys, what are you doing?" Isabel
"Ay sorry Boss Isabel, back to work na kami. Talk with your architect na hehehe" Deanna
Pinandilatan ko naman si Deanna habang naglalakad palayo sila sa aming dalawa.
Bakit ba kasi nandito tong mokong na to?
"What can I do for you?" Jhoana
"Ah wala gusto ko lang sana itour ka sa buong lupa, if there's need an alteration sa plan mo." Isabel
"Ah ganon ba Boss. Mag-iikot na lang kami mamaya ni Ate Ly. Kakausapin ko pa kasi yung construction foreman about sa plan." Jhoana
"Oh okay, if hindi available si Engr. Ly, I'll be happy to accompany you my architect." Isabel
"What did you say?" Jhoana
Isabel
Oh okay, if hindi available si Engr. Ly, I'll be happy to accompany you my architect." Isabel
"What did you say?" Jhoana
I whispered the last part hehe. Ang cute niya lang tawagin na my architect.
"Ang sabi ko Architect Jhoana." Isabel
"Beiii! Excuse lang Jho ah hiramin ko lang si Isabel, she promised me to tour in this place eh." Jana
"Oh, sige lang tapos naman na kami." Jhoana
Tas umalis na si Jhoana.
"Gurl double meaning ba yon?" Jana
"What do you mean?" Isabel
"Wala wala! Tour mo na ko. Mamaya ka na lumandi." Jana
"Sino namang nilalandi ko?" Isabel
"Ikaw wag ka nang painosente kala mo di nagkwekwento si Bianca sakin ah!" Jana
"Uy loyal ako, hindi ko man clearly maalala kung sino yung taong laging nasa panaginip ko. Alam ko sa sarili ko na bago mangyari ang lahat na to. Mahal ko siya at ramdam ko sa puso ko na mahal ko pa din siya" Isabel
"Taray loverboy! Tara na kasi ipakilala mo na ako kana Thea." Jana
"May pasok yon, mamayang gabi na lang sa party." Isabel
"Ay wow may paparty ka? Iba ka na talaga Boss Isabel." Jana
Binatukan ko naman siya, ganyan yan kaarte di ko alam bat ko pa yan naligawan noon eh. Siraulo naman hahahaha.
Jhoana
I didn't mean to eavesdrop sa usapan nila. Medyo malakas lang talaga boses ni Jana.
"Uy loyal ako. Mahal ko siya at ramdam ko sa puso ko na mahal ko pa din siya." Isabel
Yun lang narinig ko, di ko naman talaga nais makinig. Narinig ko lang talaga pagdaan ko sabay umalis na ako.
she's inlove with someone na pala. Sabagay it's been five years. I have Nico and I guess she have a person in her heart na.
I wonder who is it? Curious lang ako.
"Lalim ng iniisip mo?" Ella
"Ano ba ate ells bigla na lang nasulpot." Jhoana
"Eh kanina pa ako sa tabi mo, kung anong pinagsasasabi mo diyan di ko naman maintindihan." Ella
"Taken na ba si Bea?" Jhoana
"Ooohhh interested ka girl? Akala ko ba di ka nagseselos." Ella
"Tinanong lang kung taken, nagseselos agad?" Jhoana.
"Ewan ko sayo gurl. Mamaya tanungin ko kung taken na." Ella
"Sira! Mga kalokohan mo talaga Ate Ells" Jhoana
"Edi ba curious ka? Saka ano naman gusto ko din malaman kung taken. Saka diba engaged ka na?" Ella
"Ito ang daming sinasabi, shinare ko lang yung thought na yun kasi I heard na may mahal siya. Narinig ko lang kanina habang nag uusap sila ni Jana." Jhoana
"Baka si Jana? Or maybe si Jia? Lagi silang magkasama eh. Like sana all." Ella
"Malisyoso ka! Hahahahaha" Jhoana
"Uy hindi ah! Tanda ko pa nga non pinagsosan mo yang dalawang babaeng yan. Ang lala nga ng away niyong yon. Di mo siya pinapansin tas ang ginawa niya- aray ko! Jhoana masakit ha!" Ella
"Daldal naman kasi!" Jhoana
"Eh totoo naman na pinagselosan mo yan dati diba?" Ella
"Dati nga eh. Dati." Jhoana
"Bat ka galet? Nagkwekwento lang eh." Ella
"Bahala ka na nga diyan. Nakatingin dito si Isabel, baka sabihin puro tayo kwentuhan." Jhoana
Iniwan ko naman kung nasaan si Ate Ells. Para maglibot libot sa lupain ni Bea.
Nandito na ako ngayon sa mismong tabing dagat.
It's almost sunset.
"Hayyy ang payapa naman ng lugar na to. She's really good at picking places. This is good spot of her resort. All you can hear is people's laughter at the next resort, waves crashing and the salty wind that's blowing to my face. Nakakatanggal ng stress. Ang ganda ganda pa ng sunset." Jhoana
"Thanks for a wonderful insight Architect Jhoana. I never knew you're a fan of sunset." Isabel
"Ay kabayo! Istorbo!" Jhoana
"Omg Isabel ikaw pala yon sorry." Jhoana
"It's okay, my fault." Isabel
"I'm not fan of sunsets. But yea you got a wonderful place here." Jhoana
"You took a lot of picture of the sunset, but if you say so, okay haha sorry to bother you. I should go, I think I'm ruining your me time. If your okay na. You can take a rest, we have a party at 7pm. See you." Isabel
She left me speechless.
Tanga ko sa part na yon.
Napakawalang preno talaga ng bibig ko.
