It was fun to watch the workers over there happily plowing the land, there is somebody putting fertilizers, picking up the fruits and various vegetables, cutting grasses, doing pruning to increase fruitfulness and growth, watering the plants to maintain healthy soil to enhance water and air quality.

Can’t forgive the happiness it feels watching workers in the farm. This is one of the reason why he strives and continues to strive to grow businesses. Because he always wanted seeing people who working happily, at least well compensated, having sustainable economic livelihood to ease unemployment in their place.

A few more minutes passed. The workers approached him after he had waving.

“ A pleasant day to you Sir Sid “ greeted politely.

“ Good day! Good day! to all my dears “ he said while smiling.

“ Sir Sid you’re really different always not forgetting to visit us even our hands is full of dirt. “ one guy said in a way of joking

“ Come on man! Don’t say that! I’m with you all guys? Of course I really love you all. Each one of you is doing great and really hardworking. This farm will be lifeless without every one of you. Because of that I brought something for you all.” he said pointed out foods in the pallet.

“ Let’s eat guys “ the fun was overflowing in the face of the workers. He led and they eat happily together. Not only did it, because after he had a little surprise for their workers. From there, few workers helped him to out from land rover a 50 pcs. gift pack it is a basket which contains groceries items along with the envelope amounting to crunchy one thousand bill. The workers are amazingly staring at him.

“ Guys! It’s just a simple token from me for your hard work. I know it’s not a big one but it might help to your family daily needs.” He said.

“ Sir Sid this is really a big help for us we knew that you are not doing this rarely but frequently and we are so lucky to have you as our boss. “ the old woman worker said.

“ Yes! Sir…please you can count us. You’re such a very generous person Sir!” other worker agreed said.

“ We really appreciate of what you are doing to us Sir Sid. You’re one in a million. God bless you more and more Sir.”

“ Just a small things guys! Thank you also to everyone of you which rendering valued time on our farm. “

He did not take a long time and saith. While he was happily driving going somewhere to have a short unwind. It’s very nice feeling when you know you’ve made goodness for other people. It is now month of December no wonder has fun added while seeing scattered vendors along the roads selling colorful Christmas lanterns, Christmas lights, Christmas tree and a lot more. When Christmas season is nearly coming cannot hide the happiness in the surroundings.

“ Good job Ms. Dimayuga “ they are talking about the draft presentation which she has sent last night.

It’s a miracle she is receiving a complement from her ruthless boss. She felt big accomplishment but it should not be take as easy the next challenge coming.

“ For now that’s only I can say Ms. Dimayuga. I will be the one who will praise you when you passed successfully the presentation you made to the client. “ it’s voice is challenging

She should not be surprised. Sid really challenge her? Burning eyebrow is on the rock just to prove something to her boss.

“ Well noted Sir “ that’s a briefly said before they had parted on that day. She left early in the office as she needs to attend in a business meeting where she was the representative of her boss while Sid is going to meet up another new investor. She believes in her ability, learning great things in every experience in the company. Does she think Sid will entrust attending business meeting to a novice like her, if she does not see a potentials? To think that she is not yet completed half year in service but her experience in this company is truly worth it and challenging.

“ Hello Garee is everything fine with you there? Don’t forget to take your snacks and lunch. Do not come in the office just go home and fix your things for tomorrow.“ Sid called her after one hour. The voice of anything is imperceptible. The ability to bring about a situation as if nothing had happened. Sid is a kind of person that if work, it is work really no matter what.

“ I am fine Sir. I met already Mr. Tong and yes he is ready to meet you up as the soonest. I had some important papers here to be given for review Sir. “ she reported over the phone.

“ Perfect Ms. Dimayuga “ the fun is in the tone. That was all they talked about before turning on the car.

“ Hi daughter you’re so early today “ mother greeted as she got out of the car.

“ Yes! Mommy “ she said after kissing on the cheek

“ Very good as I cooked one of your favorite snack guess what it’s mixed cassava, sweet potato, glutinous rice balls, jackfruit and sago pudding scrambled with extract coconut milk. “

“ Hmmmm…mommy let’s eat please so yummy really craving for it “ she’s smiling while putting her arm around her mother and they went inside to eat as their usual bonding.

They are happily talking while eating when they were surprised to hear a doorbell outside.

“ Who is that? said while chewing

“ Are you expecting visitor?

“ Nothing Mommy “ her mother stood up to check on it.

She did not want to guess but the audible voice seemed familiar to her and she did not make a mistake after following her mother.

“ Si…rrr? the shock was on her face. Why it was followed to her in their house?

“ Mommy he is Sir Sid my boss. Sir Sid she is Mommy Wela my mother“ she introduced.

“ Hi Mommy nice to meet you “ he took the hands of the woman touched to the forehead a sign of respect.

“ Nice to meet you too Sir Sid “ the woman smiled

“ Sid “ mommy. He said. It means that he don’t want to call him as Sir then turned smile.

“ Ahhh…ok Sid “ the woman replied which still smiling.

“ I also went home had just passed by to give it to you “ said he handed the plastic to Garee. Even though she was confused, she just thought that may be these are the bulk papers needed for the upcoming conference.

They were silent for a moment.

“ Hmm…Sid can I invite you to go inside and taste the snack I cooked “ her Mommy said at this point she didn’t do anything except followed to them.

“ Mommy Wela no jokes this is perfect delicious snack “ Sid said looks deliciously eating while deeps looking to Garee. He is sitting in front of Garee.

Garee never thought that this is Sid the moment on how to talk to her Mommy. They had just met only today. It seemed so comfortable right away and so did her Mommy too. “ Calling her Mommy as Mommy too “ she has joy in his heart

“ If you won’t mind can I have some more Mommy Wela as I want to bring it home for my Daddy for sure he will like too. We had never cooked this one or no one knows how to cook this one .” Sid does not care to laugh while the mouth is still full.

Sid stayed on their home for almost one hour. Gets bonding with her Mommy. They were not close for real, but the way it to interacts with her Mommy. It seems to show that he is very close to it. At the same time she and her mommy took Sid to the gate. It carries the pack of snack requested by it.They waved before the car finally left and blew its horn.

She is currently arranging the belongings to be taken when somebody knocked on the door.

“ Mommy “ it was smiling at her. Her mother sat on her bed.

“ Hmmmm… Ms. Margaret Mary do you want to share something? the mother’s smile teased.

“ Mommy didn’t get you “ she smiled too. She already knew what her mother was up to.

“ Margaret Mary mommy knows you very well. Please what’s going on between you and Sid? Do you think I don’t notice the way you look to each other.“ confessing it to her

“ Mommy to tell you honestly even though me I can’t understand what’s going on between us. There were times went through my mind to just resign from the position at the end of the day I can’t do it Mommy. “

“ Why? “

“ I don’t know Mommy. “

“ You know the answer but might be you are just afraid to face it. “ instead of speaking she hugged her mother tightly it caresses her back. There she remembered the plastic which Sid gave. It contains personal things items such as toothpaste, tissue, bath soap, shampoo, face towel, body towel, toothpicks. She was really amazed. For all of the things Sid remembered her so much. Last two things she found inside the plastic she didn’t avoid laughing as really there are two packs each of modess and whisper brands of panty liners and napkins.

“ You see! It is rare for a man to do such thing to a woman “ her mother said

She was looked down.

“ It’s alright I understand. I am always here for you my lovely daughter.”

“ Thank you Mommy . “

“ While I’m seeing Sid earlier. I believe he’s a good man with full of self determination. He has a good heart behind of his ruthless image. “

“ Mommy but usually he’s not like that when you will see him in the office. I swear Mommy he’s too far.“

“ Sometimes we show it differently than we really are.” a very figurative terminologies from her mother.

“ Good luck and God bless you always. I know you can do it. Take a rest and sleep well as tomorrow is another day of new hope, new life. “

A mother’s care for her child is extremely different. Nothing can match the love of a mother. Through sacrifices and life’s endurance was truly priceless. For her, mother is the famous and ideal one throughout the world. It always understand at all times even if the child is faced with any situation be it right or wrong the child will never be abandoned. There is a saying that “ No parents would be able to endure her child rather the child would be able to endure parents. “

It was Wednesday today, December 08, 2021 exactly 8:30 in the morning is the schedule of their domestic flight. The travel has not been difficult to Garee as her boss has a private airplane. This is how rich his boss. The driver of his boss was picked up her from their home.

When she got on the plane, she was shocked to see something. She would have sat close to the front but she changed her mind because of what she saw. After everything it was showed to her mother and remembered buying personal things for her. This is the scene would see after all.

The most painful thing is that Sid don’t even pay attention to her because there is a woman with him. The girl sat beside him.

Sid and the girl happily talking as her gaze struck on it. There is still a moment when the woman is leaning on its shoulder.

Does she got jealous?

What a ruining day?

She fell asleep with a such thought, so she did not realize when somebody shake on her shoulder.

“ Garee! Garee! “

“ Hmmm… “

“ This is your meal, eat well. We are so close to the place. “ Is it right that she sees that it brought her food?

“ Thank you “ she said in a casual voice

“ Welcome “ Sid has turned to look at her and she seemed to melt those moments at what next happens when Sid winked at her without stinging.

Whether she is confused by what it shows to her. She was like a teenager shivering. More gentle of feeling of fondness. The affections from Sid which indeed melting into her feelings. But that was replaced by sadness of remembering the woman next to him earlier.

It took 1 hour in the air and they got along well.
