“GOOD MORNING, ate Hailey!” masayang bati ko sa may-ari ng pinagtatrabahuhan kong Flower Shop.
Ang ValleyBrink Flower Shop. It’s just meters away from our house hence I decided to work here. And besides, I have fun arranging the flowers as much as I enjoy talking to the customer as they wait for ate Hailey to do their flower bouquet.
“Ang aga mo yata ngayon, Jaela?” nakangiting tugon nito sa akin.
I chuckled. “Got up so early, ate Hailey, at baka need mo na ng help ko,” I replied with a joking tone.
She laughed and shook her head. “Hindi pa naman ngayon, Jael,” she said. “But I do want to chat with you while waiting for the customers to come,” she told me, her smile is remains on her lips.
I grinned, “perpekto!” I exclaimed and took a seat beside ate Hailey.
She let out a soft chuckle. “Hindi ka pa rin ba nakakapag-hanap ng trabaho, Jaela?” tanong nito sa akin.
I shook my head no. “Hindi pa po. Hindi narin naman na po yata kailangan, e,” sagot ko. “Masaya naman na ako dito sa flower shop mo, ate Hailey.”
“Pero mas maganda parin iyong may full time na trabaho ka talaga, Jael,” she softly said. “Iyong malaki ang sahod mo, gano’n ba.”
Napailing-iling ako dahil sa sinabi nito. “Naku, ate Hailey! Hindi ko naman kailangan ng malaking sahod. Okay na sa akin ang ganito lang, ate. Iyong mag-aayos ng bulaklak, makikipag-usap sa mga customers, at kasama ka,” mahabang pahayag ko.
She sighed and smiled softly at me. “Eh kung ganiyan ang gusto mo, Jael,” she said.
Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at kapagkuwan ay inilibot ang tingin sa paligid.
The place were surrounded by any different kinds of flowers. There are roses, tulips, chrysanthemum, white roses, and more. The place is not that big and not that small. Kumbaga, sakto lang.
There are only me and ate Hailey. Mamaya pa ang ibang staff rito. Depende sa duty ng mga ito.
At dahil parang regular na yata ako dito sa Shop, whole day akong nandito at tinutulungan si ate Hailey.
Sometimes, It’s tiring but hell, it’s a fun work.
“Anyways, ate,” I called her. “I just knew from Tine that you’re receiving order thru call na,” I told her. “I mean… you know, reservation ba.”
Nagliwanag ang kaniyang mukha at napapalakpak. “Buti nalang at sinabi mo, Jael!” she exclaimed. Tumayo siya sa kaniyang upuan at pumunta sa mga bulaklak. She took blue, white, and red roses then went back to me. “Here,” she said then put the roses on the table just in front of me. “A customer ordered these roses yesterday from me but I forgot to arrange these, so do it, please,” she told me with her soft tone. “He’ll be here… uhm, maybe next hour.”
