Dear You
I want you to know that one of these days, I’m going to take you the top of the tallest building I know. We’re gonna dance to all those songs you love to listen to. We’ll talk about the most useless things that only you and I get, like that vegetable you hate, those words I had no idea...

YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART
Chapter 29 (part 2)
Chapther 29 part2
Before anything else pls follow me on twitter @ForEverJULIE17, i’ll keep you guyz update..
"Can I have this dance.?"
There she saw a guy standing behind her, wearing a black suit with a Phantom mask.
Tinignan lang ni Julie ang nakalahad na kamay ng binata, nagdadalawang isip sya kung tatanggapin niya ang alok nitong sayaw.
"so can I have this dance.?" tanong ulit ng binata.
Tatanggi na sana si Julie pero pinilit siya ng mga kasama.
"cige na Juls" nakangiting sabi ni Tina.
"pagbigyan mo na, kanina pa nakalahad kamay niya oh" dugtong naman ni Olivia.
Napatingin uli 0t si Julie sa lalaki.
"Please.!" nakangiting sabi ng binata, showing his loop sided dimple.
Julie was shock seeing does dimples.
"Oh My Gad!" sabi ni Julie sabay yakap sa binata.
"Den, I can’t believe you’re hee" anya niya habang nakayakap parin kay Alden.
"I miss you" sabi ni Alden habang pinakawalan sa yakap si Julie
"I miss you too"
"Ahem, ahem" papansin ni Jane na tila ba parang kinalimutan na sila ng kaibigan.
"hmm guyz meet Alden, his a friend from San Francisco, Den this are my Friends" isa-isang pinakilala ni Julie ang mga ito.
"nice to meet you guyz, so Juls lets dance" alok ulit ni Alden and this time ay hindi na siya tinanggihan ni Julie.
They went into the dance floor and dance.
"how did you know it was me.?" tanong ni Alden when they started to slow dance.
"well… You have this cute dimples-" nakangiting sabi ni Julie sabay pisil sa nakalabas na pisngi ng binata "-that i’ll never forget … So, how about you.? How did you knew it was me.?"
"I just know" simpling sagot ni Alden that made Julie smile.
"by the way, what are you doing here.?" tanong ni Julie.
"remember when i told you that I’m planning to put up another branch? I think, here is my best option and it’s a perfect time to visit my family as well… I also miss you"
Julie just nodmand smile and they dance to the music silently.
Ng matapos na ang kanta, they both stop.
"have you seen Maqui? Did you know that Nate is also here?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Juie.
"now that you mention that, I’ll go to them and say hi, would you like to come?" alok ni Alden.
Sandaling napa-isip si Julie bago sumagot.
"i’ll just go back to my group, i don’t want to attract any attention"
Julie doesn’t like the idea coming up to Maqui and Nate, alamg niya kasi that her dad is also around, she don’t want people to keep staring at her even though she’s wearing a mask.
"okay then, I’ll be back" paalam ni Alden saka iniwan si Julie sa dance floor.
Instead of going back to her friends, Julie walks out the hall, she need a fresh air, so she just walk and walk until she found a perfect spot.
When Elmo told Niño that he wantd to have fun, his lying coz the truth is he wantd to get away, seeing the entourage and the whole party remind him again of Julie, this is her real world. Minsan iniisip niya kung ano ba ang magiging buhay niya kung nandito lang si Julie, kung ano ba ang pakiramdam kung nandito lang sa tabi niya ngayon ang babaeng pinakamamahal niya. Hindi siya sana miserabli ngayon.
He would give everything for this to happen.
Napailing nalang ito at natawa sa sarili, maybe his drunk, 8 glass 8f whiskey is too much for him tonight, that is why his here alone on a veranda for fresh air.
He never intended to attend thus party when Niño told him about the pass that Maggie gave. Attending this party, seeing Maqui again and all the people connected to Julie is like stabbing his own heart over and over again. Dapat niya masanay na siya because his gonna seel all of this over again since he wanted the JAPS for the good og their own company.
He took a deep breath, close his eyes and enjoy the fresh air.
Moment lat he felt that someone stood beside him, just meter away but his too drunk to care.
"too noisy or too crowded?" tanong sa kanya.
The voice caught his attention, that was the voice that his been longing to hear, naramdaman niya ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso niya pero bago siya lumingon ay kinalma niya muna ang sarili.
Huminga muna ito ng malalim at dahan-dahang tumingin sa katabi.
A girl stood there wearing a simple white dress with a white mask, she gave him a smile when their eyes met through their mask and that makes him freeze.
Napalunok ito at agad binawi ang tingin.
First was the voice and now the smile.
"No Elmo, No.! You’re just drunk. It’s impossible" sabi nito sa sarili.
Then there was a long silent between them, she was enjoying the air and the silence while Elmo is still convincing himself that this is just an illusion made by the 8 glass of whiskey he just take and his desperation to see her again.
He just shook his head and smile.
He cleared his throat before answering. ”both… How about you? What brings you here?”
"both" simpling sagot ng babae saka ngumiti ulit dahilan para mapangiti rin si Elmo.
"I’m Elmo by the way" pakilala ni Elmo, properly facing the girl offering hin hand "and you are?"
She was about to take his hand when-
"there you are" that makes them look at their side.
"I’ve been looking for you" sabi ni Alden sabay lapit sa dalaga.
"it’s time for the big announcement, you don’t want to miss it, don’t you?" nakangiting sabi ni Alden while protectively wrapping his one arm on Julie’s waist and giving Elmo a meaningful look.
Tumango lang si Julie saka ngumiti kay Elmo bilang paalam.
Isang malungkot na ngiti naman ang sinagot ni Elmo at pinagmasdan ang pag-alis ng dalaga.
"nice mask" sarkastikong ngiti ni Alden sa kanya saka sinundan si Julie, dun niys lang napansin na parihas ang maskarang suot nila, then he took his mask off at tinignan ito. Nakita niya ang pagpatak ng kanyang luha sa maskara kaya natawa ito sa sarili.
"now your little dream is over" sabi niya sa sarili saka pinunasan ng luha at dahan-dahang binitawan ang maskara.
"I was gone for only a few minutes and you already found another phantom" biro ni Alden ng makapasok na sila ng hall.
Natawa nalang si Julie “I needed a fresh air then I found him there”
Maqui was busy entertaining guest, masaya itong nakipagkwentohan at tawanan, when they have enough of her attention she said her goodbye and move to the next set of guest.
Nagulat ito ng paglingon niya ay isang lalaking nakangiti at nakasuot ng itim na maskara ang tumambad sa kanya. Kunot nuong pinagmasdan niya ang lalaki then he gave her a smile.
"Mr. Mendez.?"
"now you know me, but Niño will do" nakangiting sabi ni Niño. "can I have this dance?" lahad ng kamay nito.
Tumaas lang ang kilay ni Maqui saka tumalikod at naglakad.
Si Niño naman ay tahimik lang na nakabuntot sa likod ng dalaga.
Inis na napalingon si Maqui. “what do you want Niño? “
"the dance" sagot ng binata at naglahad ulit ng kamay.
Napatingin si Maqui sa kamay ni Niño saka nilibot ang paningin.
There she saw Nate, too busy talikng with some of the executives. She wanted Nate to be her first dance ton4 but it seems that she’s not on his priority list at kahit labag man sa loob niya ay tinanggap nito ang alok ni Niño.
Napangiti si Niño when Maqui gave in, he guide her to the dance floor and begin their slow dance. Tahimik lang sila sa umpisa hanggang magsalita si Maqui.
"tell me what do you want Niño? " derichong tanong nito.
"I think you know why I’m here Ms. Frencheska Farr"
"Now that you mention that, i was thinking on how did you get in here? This is a exclusive party and for invited guest only"
"I have my ways" nakangiting sagot ng binata.
"so you wanted to talk about the business deal?"
"actually yes, but that was before we dance… but now why don’t we drop the business talk and enjoy the dance"
Hindi pa natatapos ang kanta but the music was cut off and the chairman was standing on the stage clearing his throat over the microphone.
"Good evening everyone" panimula nito and everybody stop to listen.
"50 years, wow!" he continue "JAPS has been here for 50 years now and we own it all to everyone of you, the people who’d been supporting us from the start until now… and i would like to proposed a toss to all of us, to our partners, to all of our executives and shareholders and to all our employees. . . Thank you you" sabi ng chairman sabay taas ng hawak nitong wine glass at yun din ang ginawa ng halos lahat.
Nakangiti naman si Maqui habang nakikinig, nasa dance floor parin siya katabi si Niño na tahimik lang na nakasulyap sa kanya.
While Julie raise her lemonade juice at nakipag toss sa hawak na wine ni Alden, nakabalik na sila sa table kasama ang mga kaibigan.
Si Elmo naman at naka sandal lang sa pader ng hall entrance at tahimik na nakikinig, wala na siyang suot na maskara at nilibot niya rin ang paningin, nagbabakasakali na makita ang babaeng kausap niya kanina.
Alam niya sa sarili na imposibling si Julie yun pero hindi niya maipaliwanag ang naramdaman niya kanina. Napabuntong hininga nalang ito ng hindi manahap ang babae at inisip na epekto lang ng alcohol ang mga naramdaman niya kanina.
"50 years ago" dugtong ng chairman "my father started this company sa San Jose Corporation and handed it ot me on its silver year an I change its name as JAPS Corp. and for the people asking why JAPS? I named it after my daughter" nakangiting pahayag ng chairman "and for my princess, I know that you’re out there. You are my everything and I love you"
Halos maluha naman si Julie sa sinabi ng ama but Alden held her hand and smile habang si Elmo naman ay nakayuko lang.
"she is also my everything" he told himself.
"now on its Golden year, it’s time for me to hand the company to someone who desrves it… Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly announce OUR NEW CHAIRMAN, MS. FRENCHESKA SAN JOSE FARR" lahat ng tao ay nagpalakpakan.
"What!" napalakas na sabi ni Olivia, Jane at Tina na dahilan para mapunta sa kanila ang atensyon ng karamihan.
"oy pinagtitinginan tayo" saway ng mga lalaki kasamahan.
Binalingan naman ng mga kagrupo si Julie at isang ngiti lang ang sinagot nito sa kanila.
Natawa nalang si Alden at Patrick sa naging reaksyon nila.
While Maqui was just froze on her spot, may ilaw na nakatutok sa kanyan at halos lahat sa paligid niya at pumapalakpak maliban lang kay Niño na nasa bati niya at halatang nagulat din.
The next thing she knew ay nasa harap na niya si Nate at nakalahad ang kamay nito para alalayan siya papuntang stage. She met her dad half way at sinalubong siya ng yakap.
"congratulation" bulong sa kanya ng ama.
Ngiti lang ang sinagot nito at dumericho na ng stage at isang yakap din ang sinalubong sa kanya ng chairman.
"tito-"
"she doesn’t want it Maq and I believe that you deserve it more than anyone here"
Napangiti si Maqui. “salamat”
"congratulation" bati sa kanya ng dating chairman then he step aside giving Maqui the whole stage.
Nasa harap na siya ng microphone and people are waiting for her to give a speech pero hindi parin ito nagsalita. Ilamg beses rin siyang napabuntong hininga sabay tingin sa mga tao.
"wow!" panimula ni Maqui, hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin. She didn’t expect this.
"wow! I really didn’t expect this, chairman… Tito, para pinagkaisahan niyo ako ha" biro ni Maqui sabay tawa.
"I haven’t prepared a speech for this, hindi ko talaga alam… But i want to thank you for entrusting the company to me, I won’t let you down" and she face the crowd
"I hope you’re not disappointed guyz" she joke earning the crowd to laugh.
"but all I wanted to say is we should work hand n hand because the future of our company is in our hands, we are all in this together" nagpalakpakan ang mga tao sa sinabi nito and when the noise died down she spoke again.
"and to my cousin-" tigil ni Maqui and search the crowd.
The was Elmo’s que to walk away, he doesn’t want to hear any of this. It was like hearing Maqui’s eulogy for Julie on her burial at yun ang hindi niya kaya. Nagmadali nalan itong tumalikod, leaving Niño behind and drove away.
"I know that you’re out there" Maqui continue "caz this is for you" then she ended her speech make Julie smile.

YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART
Chapter 29 (Part 1) . . . Night before the Ball "you sure you wanted to go to the ball as an employee?" tanong ng chairman sa anak ng ma-abotan ito sa veranda. "dad, we've already talked about this. Yes, i'm sure. Isa pa, I'm not gonna be the most importa nt person in that ball" "you know that I really want you to have the company Juls. After all, it was named after you" "but you know that I don't deserved it, Maqui does. Having my name is more that enough." nakangiting sabi ng dalaga. "i know. Maliban sa pag-aalaga sayo, she also dedicated half of her life in the company. "i bet tito Manuel is so proud of her." "i'm also proud of you" sabi ng chairman Napangiti si Julie at napatingin sa ama "I love you dad" yakap nya. Her dad hugged her back and kissed her head. "have you told her already?" tanong ni Julie. "Nah, it's gonna be our little secret" Sabay naman silang natawa na mag-ama. "can't wait to see her reaction while you announce her name." "don't worry, i'll have it recorded" and they both laugh. Masquerade Ball "oh my gad!" sigaw ni Olivia dahilan para matu-on ang atention ng mga kasama sa kanya. Sa labas ng hall ay nakita nya si Julie kasama si Patrick na papunta sa kanila. "What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" tanong nya sa kaibigan. "you should be with your dad." "invited naman lahat ng mga trainees diba?" ngiting sagot nya. "whatever!" sarcastikong sabi ni Olivia. "by the way, i love your dress Juls" singit naman ni Tina. Julie is wearing a simple white cocktail tube dress and holding a white mask. "okay guys, mask on" sabi ni Jane at sabay-sabay nilang sinuot ang maskara nila at pumasok sa malawak na hall. Si Olivia ay nakadikit kay Kevin, si Tina naman ay simpling nakahawak sa braso ni Karl habang si Patrick ay nakasunod lang sa likod ni Julie at nakasunod din ang iba pa nilang ka-grupo. Nilibot ni Julie ang paningin sa kabuohan ng hall. Malawak ito, may stage sa gitnang harapan at may iilang malaking round table sa harap for selective guest at may nakita rin sya'ng mahabang bar counter. Napansin rin niya na marami ng tao sa paligid, she saw few familiar faces like the executives na hindi na nag-abalang magsuot ng maskara. But there are still alot of new faces for her. Dumirecho sila sa isa sa mga high table sa gilid habang ang mga lalaki ay kumuha ng pagkain. "Woah! Welcome to the world of rich and famous" sabi ni Niño habang papasok sa malawak na hall. Napa-iling na lang si Elmo na nakatao sa tabi nya. Ng makapasok na they just stop for a while and look around. Niño is wearing a black and white suit and tie with a black mask covering his two eyes. While Elmo is wearing a full black suit and tie with a white mask covering his eyes and half of his face, just like the phantom of the opera. "i think she's not here yet" sabi ni Niño referring to Maqui. "lets grab a drink" yaya niya sa kaibigan at dumiretcho sa bar counter. Elmo ang Niño are half way finishing their first glass of whiskey when they heard a group of people talking. "i heard the chairman's daughter will be here." "ofcourse! Who would you think will take his position?" "yeah right! but Miss Farr would be a perfect candidate. But i know he would prefer his own daughter." "well... If i'm in his shoes, i'll do the same thing" "wow! I wouldn't miss this. I can finally put a face behind the company's name." "yeah, I've heard that the company was named after her." "but 'JAPS' sounds so manly" Elmo eavesdropping was interrupted when Nino tap him. "so i think we're also gonna meet the new boss." Hindi na sumagot si Elmo at nanatiling tahimik lang. "Impossible! She won't be here, she will never be" sabi nya sa sarili while finishing his whiskey. "Good evening everyone! It's our pleasure having all of you here and to start the celebration. Let us all welcome . . .the Chairman, Mr. LEO SAN JOSE." Lahat sila ay nag sitayo-an at nagpalakpakan para e welcome ang chairman. Pinatay ang ilaw sa loob ng hall at tanging ang ilaw lang sa hall way ang hindi pinatay. Lahat ay nag a-abang sa pag pasok ng chairman. Kahit na ang mga reporters at iba pang taga media. First to appear is the Chairman, smile without a mask. Behind him is Maqui wearing a beautiful black dress with a crystalize mask together with her dad, Doctor Manuel Farr and Nate in a silver suit and tie with metallic mask covering his two eyes. Kaliwa't kanan ang pag flash ng mga camera. "where is she?" tanong ni Maqui sa sarili while smile at the big crowd. "You should be there" sabi ni Olivia while pointing the entourage. "I'm more comfortable here." nakangiting sagot naman ni Julie. "told you" sabi ni Elmo sa sarili when he saw there's no Julie in the entourage. "is that french fries? Damn! She's hot." komento ni Niño while checking Maqui out. "Tito, where is she? Does she have her own grand entrance later while you are introducing her?" tanong ni Maqui sa chairman ng makaupo na sila. "you'll se Maq, you'll see" sagot ng chairman. Ilang sandali pa ay umakyat na ang chairman sa stage to give his short opening remark then the party started. Guest started to eat, drink, dance and have fun. On the other side, Elmo finished his 8th glasses of whiskey and stood up. "wait bro, saan ka pupunta?" tanong ni Niño. "to have fun" malokong nakangiting sagot nya while adjusting his phantom mask. "then wait for me" masayang sabi ni Niño while finishing his glass, pero pagtalikod nya ay wala na ang kaibigan, alam nya na medyo may tama na si Elmo. Julie was laughing hard together with her friends, napag katuwaan kasi nilang pag-usapan ang nagyari kay John sa mansyon. "kayo kaya tutukan ng baril, tingnan ko kung hindi kayo mamutla." depensa ni John sa sarili na kinatawa naman nila. "i'm really sorry about what happened John, nakalimutan ko kasing sabihin kay Maqui that I have guests" sabi ni Julie habang tumatawa. But her laugh died when she noticed that all her friends were silent and they're all looking behind her. Kunot-noong namang napalingon sya. Doon nakita niya ang makalahad na kamay para sa kanya. "can i have this dance?" at dahan-dahang syang tumingala. There she saw a guy standing behind her, wearing a black suit with a phantom mask. . . =SPREAD THE LOVE =
YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART
Chapter 28 . . . "Miss Farr!" medyo malakas na sabi ni Maqui, nasa isang bar siya at umiinom kasama si Nate. "He called me Miss Farr, Nate. . . Damn! How could I be so stupid? All this time iniisip ko kung pano ipapaliwanag sa kanya ang mga nangyari kay Julie if he'll start asking questions but now I know that he doesn't cared. . . That explain why he wasn't even there for her because he never care" bulaslas ni Maqui. "I think it’s better this way, atleast you wouldn't have to worry now if they'll ever meet. He doesn't care and Julie can't remember him. It's a win-win situation" opinion ni Nate. "you're right, but now I'll make sure that they will never meet again because his totally not worth it" determinadong sabi ni Maqui while finishing her glass of margarita pero ilang sandali ay natigilan ito "But it just that I didn't saw it coming Nate, you should have seen how he treated me today and how he beg Julie to stay with him two years ago, it was so. . . Different" "I think you have enough drink Maq, I'll take you home" Julie keeps on glancing at the wall clock, it's almost 11pm pero hindi pa nakakauwi si Maqui and she's starting to worry. Hindi pa sila nagkakausap ng pinsan simula ng away nila kagabe and she's been waiting for her cousin for almost 3hrs now to apologize. Ngayon alam na niya ang pakiramdam na maghintay at mag-alala sa isang tao na hindi mo alam kung nasaan na o kung uuwi pa ba. Napatayo ito sa sofa ng may narinig na sasakyan, nagmadali siyang pumunta ng main entrance ng mansyon. She saw Nate opening the car door for Maqui which make her smile. She welcome Nate with a warm hug. "it's really great to see you" yakap niya sa binata. "me too Juls" sagot ni Nate ng maka kalas sa yakap at binaling ang tingin kay Maqui. "I should go ahead and you two need to talk" tingin niya sa dalawa. Maqui just nod and Julie just smile. Ng makaalis na ay hinarap ni Julie ang pinsan. "caz . . . I'm sorry" nakayukong sabi niya. "alam ko naman na kasalanan ko and I went over board last night, I promise it won't happened again" nangingiyak na sabi ni Julie. Napa ngiti nalang si Maqui saka hinawakan ang kamay ni Julie. "I'm sorry too, alam ko nasasakal kana sakin pero ito ang tandaan mo, hinding-hindi ako magsasawa sayo" "I know" naka ngiting sabi ni Julie habang pumapatak ang luha. "hali ka nga dito" Maqui pull her ito a hug at dun nag-iyakan sila. "I have to tell you something" sabi ni Maqui when she pull Julie out of the hug. "you're right, we've been hiding something from you" "you didn't have to tell me-" "No, you need to know" putol niya sa pinsan. Napabuntong hininga muna ito bago nagsalita. "when- when you found out that you're sick. . . You ran away from home" Julie was shock dahil sa narinig. "w-what.? I- I ran off?" "actually we ran away from home, I was with you Juls, when the news broke, I saw you packing your bags, i tried to stop you pero ayaw mong magpaawat so I also pack my bag. I just can't let you wander alone lalo na sa kondisyon mo" "that was absurd! why would I do that?" "because you wanted to get away from the pain, the pain that you've been causing the people around you. Ang sabi mo dati, hindi mo kayang nakikitang nasasaktan ang papa mo dahil sayo" paliwanag ni Maqui. "We stayed in a small apartment, you're still doing your regular check up with dad, then the car accident happened that's why we fly you to San fo" "we didn't tell you this to save you from trouble and question, ayaw na kasi naming guluhin ang utak mo, we just want you to heal fast" After that, Maqui didn't let Julie asked more questions, she did tell her about the run away part but leaving Sam, the EM, and Elmo still buried in her secrets. 3days before the company's anniversary ay tinipon ang lahat ng trainee for an announcement. "It's been two months since we started our training and I'm happy to announce the end of it. All 52 of you will be distributed on your own department to start your real job, I hope that you all learned a lot from this training and as to celebrate our success we are all invited to attend the company's golden anniversary. . . Congratulations everyone and don't forget to wear a mask" naka ngiting sabi ni Ms. Nelda. Ng matapos na ang announcement ay hindi maiwasan na pag-usapan ang nalalapit na anniversary ball ng companya. "aaahhh!" tili ni Olivia "excited na ako para sa ball" "ouch Liv, ang sakit sa tinga ha" reklamo ni Kevin. "eh sa first time kung maka-attend ng masquerade ball" "ikaw Juls, sasabay kaba sa amin sa ball or what?" tanong ni Tina. "of course not" sagot ni Jane "she's gonna be with the chairman, diba eh a-announce na ang susunod na papalit sa kanya and who would it be? Sympre si Julie" Hindi na nakasagot si Julie dahil sa ingay ng grupo nina Mich na pinag-uusapan rin ang nalalapit na ball. "guyz have you heard? The chairman's daughter will be attending the ball" sabi ng isa sa trainee. "really? Sabagay dapat lang na nandun siya to take her dad's place" komento naman ng isa. "Has anyone seen her? Nakakapagtaka lang kasi because there were speculation about her being our next boss pero kahit isa sa atin dito ay hindi siya kilala" "oo nga nu, she never appeared on any interviews or newspaper" sabi ni Sheryl, ang malapit na kaibigan ni Mich. "you know what guyz? I don't care kung ano man ang itsura niya but i could feel that she’s going to be my next bestfriend" ma arteng sabi ni Mich sabay apir kay Sheryl. Malakas na napatawa naman ang grupo ni Julie dahil sa narinig. "Juls bestfriend daw oh" tukso nila kay Julie. "Mr. Mendez, I told you na ko-kontakin nalang namin kayo kung okay na ang schedule ng boss ko" naiinis na sabi ni Maggie ng tumawag na naman si Niño. "common Mags, parang wala tayong pinagsamahan. I just want to make sure our appointment with your boss" "you'll know it Mr. Mendez pagkatapos ng anniversary" "are you really sure about that? Because the way you say it sounds like we don’t have a chance" "I'm going to be honest with you Mr. Mendez, my boss will be more busier after the anniversary but we'll make sure that her meeting with the EM is going to happen. She already gave you her words. You'll just have to wait" Napabuntong hininga si Niño. "why don't you just gave me her number so I can ask her myself, cige na Mags" "gusto mo bang mawalan ako ng trabaho?" "Maggie listen okay, my partner Elmo have this project prepared two years ago. . . Two years at ngayon lang kami nagkaroon ng chance sa inyo kaya hindi mo ako masisisi kung ganito ako ka disperadong makuha ang deal. So pls help me out here" Nag-isip muna si Maggie bago sumagot. "Ganito nalang. I can't really promise you to get that appointment asap but I can let you meet her" "really? When?" nabuhayan ang loob ni Niño. "At the ball, I can give you and your partner a pass but it's up to you on how will you approach her. That's the best thing I can do to help" sabi ni Maggie. "you're really an angel Maggie, thank you, thank you, thank you!" masayang sabi ni Niño ovr the phone. "and Mr. Mendez, remember that you didn't get the pass from me. . . And don't forget to wear a mask" "got it" then he hang up the phone. . . . =SPREAD THE LOVE =
YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART
Chapter 27 (Part 2) . . . "ok! Sala- wait... WHAT?!" napasigaw si Maquim a narinig. "E.M?" "E.M po. Sila po yung ka lunch meeting nyo ngayon. Yung makulit po na Niño Mendez" paliwanag ng secretarya nya "No! No! No!.." natatarantang sabi ni Maqui. "Mag, just ring them back, tell them that i'll be meeting them here instead." at agad nyang sinabi sa secretarya kung saan restaurant sya. Bigla kasi syang natakot na baka makita ng mga taga-EM si Julie at makilala. Natatakot rin sya na baka isa si Elmo sa makakita sa dalaga " you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Nate sa kanya pagbaba nito ng telepono. "gad!!! No!!!" hystical na sabi nito na tila di alam ang gagawin "it's just that I have a meeting with E.M and I don't even know it!" "and what is wrong with that?" "Nate it's E.M; the company where Julie worked." pa-alala nito. "and i have a feeling na si Elmo Magalona ang makaka-meeting ko" "the Guy?" Tumango lang si Maqui bilang sagot. "if you not ready to meet that guy, just cancel the meeting Maq." "i can't do that, i already cancelled our meeting last time and beside, they're on thier way here. It will make me unprofessional if i'll do that." "then be professional and face him Maq, make this meeting a pure work, no personal issues attach. If you want i can stay here with you, i'll cancel my lunch meeting with the chairman. I'm sure he'll understand." Sandaling napa-isip si Maqui bago sumagot. "thank you Nate, but you don't have to. I'll handle this alone and beside tito really needs you... " "you sure about this?" pro tumango lang ang dalaga "okay then" patayong sabi ni Nate saka lumapit kay Maqui at hinalikan sa noo ang dalaga. "you know that i'm just a call away if you need me Maq. I'll go ahead."paalam ng binata. Pagka-alis ni Nate ay agad niya'ng tinawagan ang secretarya. "ma'am may kailangan po kayo?" "Maggie, i want you to be here in 10mins." "po?" gulat na tanong ni Maggie. "pero ang layo po nyang ma'am 30mins away pa po yan." "i don't care Mag. Just do what i told you to." at agad pinutol ni Maqui ang linya. Higit kalahating oras ng naghihintay si Maqui, mag-isa lang itong naka-upo at malalim ang ini-isip. "look who's here" napa-angat sya dahil sa may nagsalita sa harap nya. "Excuse me. Do i know you?" kunot-noong tanong nya. "ouch!" sabi ni Niño sabay hawak ng kaliwang dibdib. "well... You just bumped my car a month ago and we did a lot of texting and flirting, so... I wasn't that convince that you don't knew me." malokong sabi ni Niño sabay upo sa harap ni Maqui. "ooh! So you're the E.M guy?" "Niño Mendez. Pleasure to see you again." he offered his hand. Madali namang nakipag-kamay si Maqui sa kanya and gave him a fake smile. "so.. Where's your boss?" tanong ni Niño habang nililibot ang paningin nya na para bang may hinahanap. "huh?" pagtaka ng dalaga. "your boss? The one that I should be meeting here." paglilinaw ng binata "no! no! no! Don't tell me that she sent you here for this meeting?" wala namang may ma-isagot si Maqui kasi hindi nya alam kung ano ang tinutukoy ng binata. "damn!" mahinang napa-mura si Niño. "so unprofessional" komento nito. "i dress up for this important meeting just to impress her, but she just sent you here to deal with us" pag mamayabang nya. Maqui blink twice because of what she just heard. Agad nya namang pinagmasdan ang binata mula ulo hanggang paa. "what can i say... What a unique way to impressed someone with that" naka white v-neck t-shirt ito na tinernuhan nya ng leather jacket, pantalon at isang magarang sapatos. "as what you called this 'important meeting'" sasagot pa sana si Niño but he was interupted by someone. "i'm so sorry kung ngayon lang ako, pero alam mo naman na impossible ung pinapagawa mo." Maggie expalined. Agad naman itong napalingon sa kasama ng boss. "Mr. Mendez?" tumango lang ang binata sa secretarya. "so you already met my b-" Maqui raise her hand signaling Maggie to stop. "yes, we've already met" naka ngiting sabi ni Maqui habang nakatingin kay Niño. "Actually, Mr. Mendez here have a unique way to impress us, for us to consider thier offer." Napataas kilay na lang si Maggie. "i also prepared a layout here on what we're offering JAPS" mayabang parin na wika ni Niño ng nilapag ang folder sa lamesa. "so, why don't we start?" sabi ni Maqui sabay alok ng upuan sa secretarya. "wait. I'm still waiting for my partner." "partner?" "yeah. Elmo Magalona, his our director for product and sales and he's also the owner's son. Haist! What took him so long parking the car." pahayag nya habang tinitingnan ang relo. Napalunok na lang si Maqui dahil sa kadaldalan ni Niño "there he is" deklara ni Niño ng makita ang kaibigan na papasok ng restaurant. Napalingon silang tatlo sa pinto at doon nakita ni Maqui si Elmo. Physically ay walang masyadong nagbago sa binata maliban lang siguro na nagpatubo ito ng konting balbas sa baba at mas naging matipuno ang katawan. "Moe" bulong ni Maqui sa sarili. Elmo just walked straight to them with no expression on his face. He didn't even smile when he reach their table, he just formally offered his hand to Maqui for a hand shake. "Miss Farr, it's nice to see you again" casual na sabi ng binata. Napatingin lang si Maqui sa nakalahad na kamay ng binata tapos tinignan ulit ang mukha nito. After two long years, this is way far from what she is expecting upon meeting Elmo again. "well?" sabi ni Elmo habang hinihintay parin na tanggapin ang nakalahad nitong kamay. Maqui shake his hand and clear her throat. "nice to see you too Mr. Magalona" casual rin na sagot nya. "so you've already met my patner, Mr Niño Mendez. Niño this is Miss Frencheska Farr, director of business affair of JAPS and also the chairman's neice" pakilala nito. "What?!" halatang na gulat ito sa mga narinig at napa-nganga. Agad namang hilahad ni Maqui ang kamay kay Niño, hindi naman nag atubuling tinanggap iyon ng binata. "nice meeting you too Mr. Mendez." parang wala sa sariling sabi ni Maqui dahil hindi parin sya makapaniwala na ganon lang ang pakitungo ni Elmo sa kanya. "and this is Maggie, my secretary" pakilala nya rin sa secretarya. "so lets start" sabi ni Elmo at sabay-sabay silang umupo. "so we're here to present our new products and we're hoping that you'll give us a chance to work hand'n'hand with your company" tuloy-tuloy na sabi ni Elmo and Maqui could see in his eyes that he became more taught but expressionless. "I'll give you that if you're going to impress me" Maqui said while looking at Niño. Napalunok nalang ang binata "shit" sabi nito sa sarili. Nagtagal ang meeting ng kalahating oras, Maqui didn't utter any words, she either nod or smile. She just stole glances on Elmo at nakikita niya na seryoso ito sa meeting, and they didn't exchange any personal conversation. "so what do you think?" si Elmo "interesting. . . But i wasn't really that convince" sabi ni Maqui. "what do you mean by that?" inis na tanong ni Niño. "I want more visual presentation Mr. Mendez, that's why i want to give you another chance. Prepare a visualize presentation for me and if I'm still interested then I'll sign the contract" "and when will that be?" tanong ni Elmo "i'll let Maggie here arrange my schedule for you but I won't be available until the company's anniversary" "but that was two weeks from now" inis parin na sabi ni Niño. "you know miss Farr we could finish our visuals by tomorrow, so why don't we set our next meeting the day after tomorrow" "Niño it's okay. . . We already waited two years for this, two weeks won't hurt, right. ." si Elmo Natahimik nalang si Niño saka tumango. "Okay then, Maggie will just contact you" "I think this meeting is over, I'll go ahead" patayong sabi ni Elmo. "Moe" pigil ni Maqui. Elmo gave her a question look. "I- I was wondering if you want to stay for a coffee so we could catch up?" alok ni Maqui. "If you want to ask on how I was, well as you could see I'm perfectly fine. . . I still have another meeting" Napayuko nalang si Maqui. "meeting.?" si Niño "I didn't know that" "I gotta meet Max and Lizzy for their photo shoot representing our product" paliwanag ni Elmo because he just wanted to get away so Maqui won't ask another question that involves Julie coz his not ready to talk about it and he thinks he will never be ready to talk about Julie's death because he can't face the reality yet. "woah! I didn't know that you were that hands on, don't tell me you and Lizzy got back together? " Mas pinili ni Elmo na hindi na sagotin ang kaibigan at nag paalam nalang kay Maqui. "i'll go ahead Miss Farr" "Nice to see you again Mr. Magalona" casual na sagot ni Maqui. "Hintayin nalang kita sa kotse" baling ni Elmo kay Niño at nagmadaling umalis, ng makapasok ito ng sasakyan ay dun lang siya naka hinga ng maluwag. "do you need anything Mr. Mendez. ?" tanong ni Maqui sa naiwang kaibigan ni Elmo. "now that we're off business, I just want to congratulate you Miss Farr, I hope that you have a good laugh playing on me" "excuse me.?! For your information Mr. Mendez, it wasn't my fault that you didn't knew me in the first place" inis na sabi ni Maqui. "I knew you as Maggie this past month, you gave me your calling card with a Maggie on it" depensa rin ni Niño "yes I gave you that calling card but i didn't say that it was mine, i just told you to call that number. How come that it was my fault that you assumed I was Maggie. ?" "then why were you giving other people's calling card.?" pasigaw na tanong ni Niño. "she is my freaking secretary for gad sake. I have every right.!" sigaw rin ni Maqui. "whatever" sabi ni Niño dahil hindi niya na alam ang isasagot saka nagwalk out. "well that was awkward" komento ni Maggie. Tahimik lang na nag drive si Elmo kasama si Niño. "how long have you knew this french fries girl.?" tanong ni Niño. "her name is Frencheska, not french fries" pagtatama ni Elmo. "whatever, but how long have you knew her?" "we just met once and I don't know her personally" simpling sagot ni Elmo para maka iwas. "she called you Moe. . . Twice" Napatingin lang si Elmo sa kaibigan pero hindi niya ito sinagot at tahimik lang na nagdrive hanggang makarating sila ng opisina. "teka lang, akala ko ba sa photo shoot tayo pupunta.?" tanong ni Niño. "nawalan na ako ng gana" yun lang ang sagot ni Elmo at nagmadaling lumabas ng sasakyan. = SPREAD THE LOVE =
YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART
Chapter 27 (Part 1) . . . Pag gising ni Julie ay dumiretcho agad ito ng dinning para mag almusal, pero laking pag tatak nya ng wala sya nadatnan kundi ang nanay Elsa nya lang na naghahanda ng agahan nya. "asan po sila?" tanong nya sa matanda "Maagang umalis si Maqui, hindi na daw sya kakain. Ang papa mo naman kaka-alis lang, hindi ka na ginising kasi ginabi ka na raw ng uwi kagabi" Agad namang naalala ni Julie ang sagotan nila ni Maqui ng gabing iyon. Nagulat naman si Maggie ng madatnan ang boss sa loob ng opisina at malalim ang iniisip. "aga natin ah" pagkuha ni Maggie ng pansin. Agad namang napalingon si Maqui. "ikaw pala Mag. Ang aga mo naman" "ganitong oras talaga ako dumadating dito ma'am. Mahirap ng ma-late baka masisante ng di oras" Napangiti nalang si Maqui. "umm... Mag, curious lang, bossy ba talaga ako masyado?" tanong nya out of nowhere. "hindi naman po ma'am. No hassle ng po kayong maging boss eh" nakangiting pahayag nya kay Maqui. "really?" "opo. Bakit po ma'am, may problema po ba?" "nag away kasi kami ni Julie kagabi.. Hai! Nasasakal ko na ba sya masyado?" "para po kasi sa akin ma'am, sweet nga po yun eh. Palagi nyo po syang pinapa-monitor sa akin. Na para bang hindi kayo makaka-hingi hangga't hindi nyo alam na okay sya" Napangiti na lang si Maqui sa commento ng sectretaya. Napabaling sila ng tingin ng biglang bumukas ang pinto ng opisina. Standing there is Nate and holding a boquet of flowers. "mmm.. I'll go ahead" Maggie excused herself. Ng makalabas na ang secretarya ni Maqui, Nate slowly walked to her with a smile habang tahimik lang ang dalaga. "i came here early to surprise you pero i didn't expect you to be this early. So i guess, surprise!!!" sabay abot nito ng bulaklak kay Maqui. Pero imbes na tanggapin ng dalaga ang mga bulaklak ay tiningnan nya lang si Nate sabay taas ng kilay. Tumayo ito sa swivel chair nya and crossed her arms. "what's the surprised?" taas kilay na sabi nito "I expected you to show up yesterday" Hindi parin nawala ang mga ngiti sa labi ni Nate kahit ganon siya sinalubong ni Maqui. "you know Maq, I'm expecting you to jump into me with open arms the moment you'll see me. But it seem like you woke up at the wrong side of the bed" sabi nito sabay abot ng bulaklak na padabog namang tinanggap ng dalaga. Mas lalong namang lumapad ang ngiti ni Nate sa inasal nya. Mas lalo pa itong lumapit kay Maqui at hinalikan sa pingi sabay yakap at dahan-dahang inikot ang dalaga. "i missed you so much" bulong nya na nag pangiti naman kay Maqui at ginantihan ng yakap ang binata. " seriously, i'm was really expecting you since yesterday." "my flight got delayed in Hongkong and it was almost midnight when i arrived yesterday, gusto ko sanang puntahan ka sa masyon but i don't want to distured you, so i settled for a morning surprise" paliwanag ng binata. "well... Good thing you didn't. You've probably witnessed me and Julie yelling at each other" sagot nito ng kumalas na sa yakap ni Nate. "so explain why you're not in the mood. Ano na naman pinag-awayan nyo this time?" "the usual, but this time things just got out of hand. She's starting to asked questions that i don't want to answer." "you know that this will happen, right? If not now, maybe soon or even sooner." "y-yes... But i'll try to avoid it as i can Nate." "you know what, let just have breakfast. I know that you just left home without having one. Shall we?" Napangiti na lang si Maqui sa alok nya. "Mag, breakfast lang muna ako ha." paalam nya sa secrrtarya. "sige po ma'am. mamayang lunch pa naman ang meeting nyo." Kumain sila sa isang restaurant na pinili ni Maqui na medyo kalayo-an sa opisina. Nag kwentuhan ang dalawa kung ano-ano ang mga nangyari sa kanila habang magkalayo. Naikwanto na rin ni Maqui kay Nate kung ano ang pinag-awayan nila ni Julie at na banggit rin ni Nate kay Maqui ang ginawa nyang pagyaya kay Alden na sumama sa kanya pabalik dito sa Pilipinas na ikinagulat naman ng dalaga. "really? You did that?" "yup! Ang beside, he's planning to put up another branch for his cafe so i suggested, why not here?" "but still he ended up staying there. But i hope he'll reconsider." "we'll see" sagot ng binata na may halong mapang-larong ngiti sa labi. "what do you mean?" Nagkibit balikat nalang sya. Marami pa silang napag kwentuhan at hindi na nila namalayan ang oras. "hey" agaw pansin ni Nate kay Maqui. "huh?" "di mo ba sasagutin yan?" kanina pa kasi na ri-ring ang cellphone nya pero hindi nya sinasagot. Nakatitig lang sya sa binata. Agad namang natauhan si Maqui at kinuha ang cellphone sa bag. "masyado na ba akon pumogi at ganyan ka na lang kung matutula sa akin?" natatawang tanong ni Nate. "shut up!" sagot ng dalaga bago sinagot ang tawag. "hello" "ma'am Farr, ipapa-confirm ko lang po ung lunch meeting nyo ngayon. Tumawag na po kasi sila to corfirm the meeting at papunta na daw po sila dito sa JAPS." sabi nga secretarya nya. "shoot!! Oo nga pala. I forgot" anong oras na ba?" tanong nya sabay tingin sa wrist watch. "11:05 na po ma'am." sagot ni Maggie. "nag pa deliver na rin po ako ng Japanese food para sa meeting nyo" "thanks gad! Salamat talaga Mag. I don't know what would i do kung wala ka." "just doing my job ma'am" nakangiting sagot ni Maggie sa kabilang linya. "hahahh!!! sige Mag pabalik na rin ako dyan." "Sige po ma'am ingat kayo. Tawagan ko na lang po kayo pag sakaling na una ang mga taga-E.M sa inyo" "ok! Sala- wait... WHAT?!" napasigaw si Maqui sa narinig. "E.M?" . . . ##Next update will be tomorrow## =SPREAD THE LOVE=
