"How about the sales? Is it doing fine?"





I asked the manager of the flower shop here at Nueva Ecija. Kagagaling ko lang ng sa trabaho ko, may pinuntahan kami ni Arnie at Rose dito sa Nueva Ecija bago nila ako sinamahan i-check ang flower shop dito para hindi na ako bibisita sa Sunday.






"Yes, ma'am, but compared po doon sa flower shop sa Pampanga. Sa tingin ko, kailangan pa po natin mas galingan because there is a lot of competitors here kaysa sa Pampanga, sa boyfriend niyo po!" Manager Pamela smiled at me.








I nodded, "I think we need to improve our strategies when it comes to marketing and sales! By the way, I heard that the farm was offering us flowers? Contract ba 'yon or hindi?"






"Ah! 'Yung farm po sa La Union. Yes, ma'am, contract po iyon!"






I nodded, "are they offering it also to Ivan?"






"No, ma'am, but a farm from Laguna and Cavite  are in talks with Mr. Jidaro since your boyfriend po doesn't want to grow flowers on their own, dahil nga po busy at walang magaalaga!"







"Ah, yeah! I forgot, binisita nga pala namin ni Ivan 'yung farm sa Cavite!" I nodded before giving back  the envelope to her. Malapit lang 'yung farm doon sa bahay ng lola ni Ivan. "And by the way, zoom meeting tayo, Saturday, 10 o'clock in the morning!"





"Ok po, ma'am!"







Lumingon ako kay Arnie at Rose na nagiikot dito sa flower shop. Bumili din si Rose ng isang sunflower, ibibigay raw niya 'to sa boyfriend niya. Parang baliktad ata.






"Gagastos ka ng malaki para sa boyfriend mo, e, baka lokohin ka lang din niyan 'no. Saan mo ulit nakilala 'yon? Sa blind date! Ay sus!" Arnie massage his head.






"Alam mo napaka pakialamero mong bakla ka!" Rose rolled her eyes. "Sige, iyo na lang kung ayaw mo ibigay ko sa boyfriend ko. Naiingit ka ata, e!"






"Yuck! Over my dead body, hell no!" Maarteng tugon ni Arnie. I laughed at them!






Dumaan muna kami sa office to fix something! Nagpahatid ako kay Arnie doon sa restaurant ni Drexter na kaka bukas lang ulit, nagkaroon kasi ito ng problem at nagka isyu kaya napasara but now, his resto is back! It's more stronger than before, Drex will also do a cooking show!







"Oy, Ange!" Drexter greeted me. "Himala, wala kang buntot ngayon!"






I laughed. "Busy sa work. Pa-order ako, 'yung dati kung binibili! By the way, Congrats! Ang laki ng restaurant mo ngayon compared sa dati."






"Salamat! May balita ka ba kay Akeisha?" Drex asked before he started wearing his chef uniform.






"Last thing I heard from her is she's reviewing for the board exam, and also ayos naman siya sa trabaho niya doon. 'Yon ang sabi niya saakin!"






Drex nodded like a kid before he called someone! He told the guy what is my order before he went upstairs. Few more minutes passed, sinerve na order ko! Naka take out, nag bayad lang ako bago ako nag taxi pauwi ng condo.






"Saan ka galing? Bakit ginabi ka na?" Salubong saakin ni Ivan ng pagbuksan niya ako ng pinto. I removed my shoes and nag slippers lang ako bago ko siya sinundan sa kusina.
