Chapter 03: Celebration Party

...Avyanna's POV:...

Today is our meeting with the owner of this island and I'm here preparing for it. They're waiting me there at the lobby.

/*Tinggg*/

There's a message popped up in my phone so I red it and guess what? He's already here na raw so, I said to him na mag rest muna siya and I'll talk to him tommorow.

I decided to go down to the lobby kase I think they're waiting there for me na and di nga ako nagkamali.

"Let's go" I simply said to them and started to walk through the car.

After a half hour ride, we finally arrived at our meeting place. We wait there a few minutes and Mr. Devilla finally arrived.

(Mr. Franco Devilla, a well-known bussiness man in the world, he's one of the top 10 riches in the world, so it's a great opportunity to be his bussiness partner. He's actually 26, a young professional bussiness man and the owner of this island.)

The discussion is on going and there are few questions that we managed to answer. After that, we read the contract and signed it for the approval of being his bussiness partner.

"Thank you Mr. Devilla for accepting our offer and I'll make sure that we'll do our best" I assured him that

"I'm looking forward to that. Just feel free here and enjoy your stay here" Mr. Devilla said to us

"So, see you at the evening party na gaganapin in my resort" he also said to me and we shaked our hands as we bid goodbyes to each other.

We went back to the resort and we did some paper works na kailangan pang tapusin, wala naman kaming gagawin Kaya ginawa na muna namin mga paper works para naman mabawas-bawasan mga gagawin namin dito sa resort, yah know yung about sa partnership namin sa owner nito.

We finished our works at exactly 5 in the afternoon so we decided to ordered some foods and also to celebrate our successful partnership with Mr. Devilla.

"Let's have a toss for our success!" Ash said to us, it's just one bottle of wine.

"Cheers!!!" we said in unison.

After the celebration, iniwan ko na sila ruon and I'm here walking at the seashore while enjoying the view 'cause it's already sun set.

Nakakita ako ng bato duon na pwedeng maupuan so I decided na maupo ruon while watching the sun set. I closed my eyes to feel the sea breeze.

I'm just relaxing here to lessen the burden I'm facing. The sound of the sea is like a music to my ears that can sooth and can calm my feelings.

Habang nakaupo ako rito ay may biglang umupo sa tabi ng aking kinauupuan, I smelled his scent and I can tell that it's from Arben.

"What are you doing here? It's cold here" he said after he put his jacket on my shoulders.

"I'm just enjoying the view here while I'm trying to relax my self from the stress" I replied to him and lean my head towards his shoulder.

After that, he didn't say any words and he just let me rest into his shoulder.

...Arben's POV:...

After our mini celebration I didn't saw Avy (Avyanna) here so I decided na hanapin nalang siya and I saw her siting at the seashore.

I went there and sat besides her, I don't know why but I feel comfortable with her than anyone else. We have so many in common and isa na duon is we don't have parents anymore.

I feel that she needed someone besides her to comfort her and I can do that for her. After a few minutes ng pagkakasandal niya sakin, tinignan ko siya para sana ayain na pumasok na sa hotel because it's getting dark here but I saw her sleeping on my shoulder so I just carry her back to her room. Nauna na kase sila Ash and Ashley na matulog after the mini celebration, sobrang dami nilang nainom at sa pagod na rin siguro Kaya nakatulog na agad.

I put her on her bed and closed the door as I walk through my own room.

...Someone's POV:...

"It's all ready, don't worry about that, nagawan ko na ng paraan yan" he said to me

"Make sure that it'll work" I want to make sure that all of my plans will not be in vain.

"You'll be very helpful and useful for my plans. You only have to follow my commands and no one else" I said while looking at that thing in front of me.

I can take back what's mine, can't wait 'till they bow down at me while begging to spare their trash life, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

...Avyanna's POV:...

It's already morning and I decided na lumabas after kong maligo and magbihis of course. Pagkalabas ko ng room ko, saktong lumabas din yung tatlo, napansin ko lang na panay hawak ng ulo yung sa Ashley and Ash, anyare Kaya dito sa dalawang toh.

"Anyare senyo, bat ganyan mga kinikilos niyo ha?" I asked them out of curiosity

"Wala, nagkainuman lang Kagabi at napasobra ata" Ashley replied to me while massaging her head

Haysst, yun naman pala ehh, Kaya pala ganyan sila kase napasobra sa pag-inom Kagabi.

After the breakfast namin dito sa lobby eh, napagpasiyahan naming mag relax muna and huwag munang alalahanin ang about sa work namin.

I saw someone there and nakatingin pala siya rito, then sinenyasan ko siya na magusap kami in private.

"Guys, I need to go somewhere" paalam ko sa kanila

"You want samahan nalang kita?" Ashley said to me with a concern in her voice but I refused and sinabi ko nalang na saglit lang ako

...***...

Andito ako ngayon sa likod ng resort and kaharap ko si Dave (Dave Elizalde, remember yung nakausap ko sa phone na pinapapunta ko rito and yung nag text sakin yesterday before kaming pumunta sa meeting)

"You need to handle the Company for now habang wala ako ruon, so ikaw muna ang mag-handle until I finished my work here" sabi ko sa kanya

"How many days?" he asked me na para bang sobrang busy niya ehh puro gala lang naman alam niya sa buhay

"1 week siguro?" I said

"What! That long? Sobrang tagal naman niyan" oh kita mo to, nagreklamo pa ang loko eh may part din siya na dapat gampanan sa company pero dahil nga sa sobrang tamad netoh, ibinigay sakin lahat ng responsibility.

"Hoy anong antagal pinagsasasabi-sabi mo diyan ehh dapat nga ikaw rin naghahandle neto noh" sabi ko sa Kanya sabay batok na rin para matauhan ang loko

"Aray ko naman, bat may kasamang batok pa?" he said

"Hoy, umayos ayos ka diyan ha, gawin mo nalang kase" I replied to him

"Oo na, mapanakit ka na ngayon hah" he said while hinihimas yung ulo niya na binatukan ko kani-kanina lang

He's one of my childhood friend na kinupkop rin ng Aunt ko pero he studied at Canada Kaya di kami lumaking magkasama but nakakausap ko naman siya through online or phone calls ganun.

One of the reasons also Kung bakit di ko siya pinapayagan na iapproach ako in public dahil sa mga kaaway ko sa bussiness and I don't want him na madamay pa sa gulo. He's just 21 years old and he's like a younger brother to me so I want to protect him na hindi ko nagawa sa Aunt ko.

"Hey, why are you crying?" he said out of nowhere and I just realized na there's a tears streaming down my face and he wiped it for me.

"Nah, I just thought about Aunt a while ago pero I'm okay with it" I simply said para di na siya mag-alala pa sakin.

He just tapped my shoulders and hug me before he bid goodbye para lumuwas papuntang Manila para imanage ang company namin.

I go back there and saw them laughing while Arben is just sitting there na para bang bored na bored.

Napansin nila akong pupunta ruon Kaya sinalubong ako ni Ashley then hinila paupo ruon and then we just laughed sa mga kwento ni Ashley at sa bangayan nilang magkambal HAHAHAHA

Napakasaya nitong araw na to para samin, kase wala kaming ibang inisip kundi ang i-relax ang aming mga sarili. And we just enjoy this happy moment.

...Someone's POV:...

"Ready your luggages and your self because you're going there" he said to me and I just nod as an answer to him

"Remember what I told you before, understand?" paalala niya sakin

I'm here currently in my car going to the airport. When I finally arrived there, I get my plane ticket and I ready my passport.

So I'm going to introduce my self first, I'm Dion Clyde Smith, 25 years old and I'm going to my cousin's resort because he invited me as a guest there for the party.

I finally arrived here and someone took my luggages into the car and drove me to the resort of my couz.

Pagkababa ko ng sasakyan they greeted me and guide me papuntang room ko and then I rest there for a while kase this afternoon, it'll be very tiring nanaman.

...

I woke up from the bed because of the noisy alarm clock and when I saw the time, it's already 6:30 pm so I go to the bathroom and do my routines there.

I dressed a formal attire and a little bit perfume and I'm ready to go there.

...Avyanna's POV:...

I'm here at my room and naghahanda na for the party para mamaya. It's already 5:00 in the afternoon so I have a plenty of time pa para mag-ayos.

The party will start at exactly 7:00 pm and I should be not late for that.

After I finished dressing up I checked the time and it's already 6:30 pm so I decided na lumabas na sa room ko and I saw Arben waiting for me and I just smiled at him kase he looks good on his suit and then he escorted me until we got there.

...Narrator's POV:...

The party is about to start and everyone is busy with it. There's a group of people na nagkwekwentuhan and yung iba naman ay nakaupong naghihintay na magsimula na.

On the other side, there's a man who just woke up, it's already 6:30 and he remembers that he has a party to attend so he do his routines.

...***...

"Welcome to the Devilla's Resort and Hotel, may I call on to everyone to please suit yourself 'cause the party is about to start" the emcee said

"May I call on the owner of this Resort and also the owner of this island, Mr. Franco Devilla! Around of applause please" emcee

Mr. Devilla stand and walked until he reaches the stage.

He said some encouraging words and tells everyone to enjoy the party and after that a loud music was played by the DJ there and the party is officially open.

While they're enjoying the party, Mr. Devilla walked towards the table of Ms. Avyanna Perez...

"Nice to see you here, so how's your stay here?" he asked them

"It's good, nothing to worry about because your staffs here are very responsible" Avyanna replied to him and they continue talking about some stuffs and of course about their bussiness

...Dion's POV:...

So I'm here in the elevator now, I'm late already but who cares.

I'm currently here at the party and hinahanap ko lang ang aking cousin, nasaan na ba kase yung isang yun?

Sa hinaba-haba ng aking paghahanap, nakita ko rin siya sa wakas and may kausap siya ruon na dalawang tao, a boy and a girl to be exact.

"Hey bro, what took you so long?"he greeted me with a question

"I just woke up late" I simply said to him

"Oh right, by the way this is Avyanna Perez my new bussiness partner and this is Mr. David Arben Cruz her workmate" pakilala niya sa kausap niya kani-kanina lang

"Hello, nice to meet you Ms. Perez and Mr. Cruz" I formally greeted them

"Hello, pleasure to meet you too" they greeted me back

"Wait a moment please" paalam ni Couz and he walked through the mini stage nila rito

...

"Good evening everyone! This party is all about the celebration for my new partnership about bussiness, so can I invite them up here para samahan ako sa harap?" he announced and everyone clap their hands as these two came there.

"Let's have a toss for this successful partnership!" Couz said to all of us

"Cheers!"

We tossed our wine and after that they went back here and continued their talk.

I'm not actually into parties so I excuse myself to get some fresh air.

...Avyanna's POV:...

I'm happy today and sad also.

I'm happy dahil sa partnership namin ng owner nito and also sad kase bumalik na ng Manila sila Ashley and Ash kaninang umaga Kaya di na namin sila nakasama sa party. They have something important to do raw kase and it's urgent.

It's our 3rd day here at this island and nageenjoy naman ako, kami rito.

Kanina pala pinakilala ni Mr. Devilla yung cousin niya and he has a good looks but he's not the type of person I like.

But I noticed that he's kinda mysterious to me. After the party eh hindi ko na siya nakita pa, okay enough na nga tayo diyan. Good night na mga bebe, I'm tired already ehh.
