Capítulo 51: GOLDEN FRUITS INCORPORATED
The farm became a company. It is a family of farmers, people who care for each other, a company that all employees think it is their own company. They love it, they protect it, they defend it and they do what they can for its interest. Because the company's interest is their interest. So every plant, every animal, every machine, every employee is given respect and care that the quality of this farm produce is known and certified "Organic".
Tony and Paulo arrived in Manila. Juan and Ruthie fetched them.
As they meet at the airport, they hug, they cry as if they have not seen for a long time. No, they cry because they are not complete. They always feel there is a vacuum empty, the space of Mama Martha in their hearts.
They eat in a Korean restaurant where they eat with Jacky.
Ruthie video call Jacky who is in the library of Tokyo Medical and Dental University.
" Hello Ruthie, I can not talk loud, I'm in the library." Jacky waved to Tony, Paulo, and a flying kiss to Juan.
"I miss that restaurant. I love kimchi and Sushi. So you are all together, I wish I can go there but my schedule will not permit, I miss you guys. Pray for me, I'll be reporting and have the simulation in the surgery room." Jacky said.
"We will pray for you. We know you can do it, Jacky, God bless you" Tony said.
"Thank you, Father!" Jacky said.
"I love to hear that. In God's time, it will be official. I'm proud of you Jacky. I thank Martha for finding you for Juan. But I know, God can use you to find Martha, when the time comes." Tony said with tears of joy.
"Bye, for now, I'm going to the room now!" Jacky waved.
All of them waved.
After eating, they went to the Uptown Condominium, Ruthie was the driver, Juan was in the back seat with Tony, Paulo was in the front seat. Tony and Paulo's turn to be amazed at the tall buildings, and when they arrived and park, Tony can not believe that they can live in this kind of house different from the farm nipa house they lived for years. They went up using the elevator, and it's their first time for Tony and Paulo to be in a tall building and they will live on the 30th floor. The elevator door opened.
They walk in the clean hall then Ruthie tried to open the door with her keys, and as they opened the door, Tony and Paulo can't believe their eyes, a balcony with glass walls, you can see the view of the city outside, the view is very beautiful, and they sat on the sofa. They toured their unit, they look and study every corner, every appliance, every cabinet, every decoration, every plant.
"What do you want to change here Dad? Do you want to change the decorations, the settings, anything you prefer." Juan asked.
"Juan, This is more than I expect. Still, we lack somebody. I wish your Mom is here with us." Tony sighed.
"Hello Rose, I'm happy with the performance of your team. We are up and the good timing of the demand for our products is increasing. We are now shipping 19 tons of fruits and vegetables per month for local nationwide. Now we will start to have our export to Japan 2 tons this week. Pray that our quality will pass their stringent standards. Send me the files of our employees and their contribution to this success, let's give them a surprise bonus and awards." Tony said to Rose Zabala in the farm office.
"Thank you boss Tony, you have really made the company of loving people that all are giving their best. We have a problem with the attendance of an employee here but that is understandable, his wife is sick he needs to take care of their children." Rose reported.
"This is an opportunity to show we care. Check what is the problem of his wife, and the underlying circumstances, send to me immediately" Tony said.
Rose found out that his wife has newly discovered forgetfulness that it gradually worsens that she can not function well at home. Tony observes that with Martha before, she often forgets before she went back to Japan. I suspect that it is Alzheimer's.
"Try to do anything to help the family," Tony instructed Rose.
"Yes, boss," Rose said.
There is a complaint about a day delay in delivery, in Cebu.
Tony called the Courier in charge of the delivery. He then instructed Rose to have at least two days advance ship out from the farm so to compensate for the delays of travel and shipping schedules that it will arrive just in time or advance for one day than late.
"People are the most important and priority asset of the company. They are the reason we make the business to create jobs, make them happy working for their company and making them happy with their salary, and making the customers happy about the quality of the products produce."
Tony is planning to make a planning workshop and team-building outing for the team after the export office and all the procedural systems are in place. He wants a Vision and Mission to be shared by all the employees who will work for it. It must be a collaboration and a consensus of what Goldenfruits Inc. will function and develop as a company.
"Dad I'm thinking, Let's go to Japan. Let's make it a surprise to the Yamadachi family, and at the same time a multipurpose trip. We will work out to meet Mother who does not remember us, improve your relationship with your Japanese market, and help those who are victims of Alzheimer's before our school will start. What do you think?" Juan telling Tony?
"That's a good idea. Let's prepare for that, we had our passports, we will work out how we can have a tourist visa without informing the Yamadachi family. If that is not possible then we will inform only one and secret to others. I think we will also bring Rose with us for the Maketa Foundation." Tony said.
"Yehey! We will go to Japan!" Ruthie shouted as she overheard the conversation.
Paul, run to the living room and look at them and smiled to think he can visit Japan and make paintings there.
"We had also an additional patient for Alzheimer's Rose reported to me and we are helping them we will include them in our agenda for the foundation," Tony said.
"Dad, I and Ruthie will survey hospitals and relatives of all our employees if they have love ones who have Alzheimer's, so we can have a number of cases to bring, I'll find doctors here who specialize in Alzheimer's or had patients who had cases of it," Juan added.
"I'll ask in Goldenfruits employees about that. Ok, this is a good plan. Let's pray for that and let's do our assignments so we can help many as we can" Tony said.
"Time to eat! I made a Philly Cheesesteak Omelet, Puto maya, (a type of rice cake which originated from Cebu, is made of glutinous rice, fresh ginger, and sweetened milk) and sikwate(chocolate tablea and brown sugar in hot water)." Ruthie calling them in their bar type table in the kitchen.
They went there and ate smiling as they look far beyond the glass walls that you can see the beautiful view of Makati.
"Hello, Jacky, I have my first job, I had been hired by Dad as her temporary Secretary. I'm so happy, I just worry when classes start, I can not help him here. Anyway, we are eating now putomaya and sikwate, so you remember these foods?" Ruthie in a video call.
"Yes, I remember that Juan and I also had lapaz bachoy, lumi, and pancit palabok, He would bring me to the market and I tasted those foods very yummy," Jacky said.
Tony, Paulo, and Juan waved at her on the phone camera.
"I miss you guys," Jacky said.
"Oh yes! before I can forget. Juan, do you remember our friend Elena? She is there in Manila working in a department store or a Mall I think, she graduated from a secretarial course." Jacky added.
"If we can contact her, I will hire her as a secretary," Tony said.
"Yes, I remember her, in your apartment, send Dad her number so he can interview her if she is interested," Juan said.
"Sure, I contact her in her messenger, I'll send it right away."
"Bye Jacky, I'll wash the plates," Ruthie said.
They all waved.
Jacky remembered all the beautiful memories in the Philippines especially the times she would lean on Juan's arms or shoulder, she yearns for his nearness physically. She just sighs and imagines as she goes back to concentrate on her book in surgery.
Her first surgery was hard, pressured and her hands shake as she holds the scalpel. But later she gets used to it and is now one of the trusted assistants of the famous surgeon in Tokyo.
