Corrine's Point of View
9:30 am. I'm prepared to leave the house to go to a client's birthday party because Corrine's Kitchen was chosen to cater. So bago ako umalis, I checked Luna, and she's still sleeping soundly in her room. Siguro mga alas diyes pa 'to gigising.

I got a sticky note from her desk and wrote her a note, saying: "Good morning, Sweetheart! Mommy will be leaving early kasi magccater ako today but I'll be home by around 5 pm, I think. Don't forget to eat your meals and mag-ingat ka sa pupuntahan mo mamaya! Text me before you leave, I love you! xoxo, Mommy"

I pasted the sticky note on her phone para makita niya agad. Knowing her, telepono ang unang hahawakan nito pagkamulat niya ng mata niya. I went closer to plant a kiss on her forehead. Natawa pa 'ko when I heard soft snores.

Ganyan lagi ginagawa ko kapag umaalis ako ng maaga tapos tulog pa siya.

I texted Candy na paalis na ako ng bahay. Maghahanda pa ng konti sa resto ng mga dadalhin na pagkain sa venue, which is sa bahay nung client. I said a short prayer before starting to drive.

———————

Mabilis akong nakarating sa resto since hindi pa naman traffic kasi umaga palang at hindi rin naman 'to kalayuan sa bahay. Pag dating ko, there were people eating breakfast na and I smiled to all of them naman. Some of them returned it, and some were busy eating and conversing with their companions kaya 'di napansin.

Pagkapasok ko sa loob, lahat abala. May mga nakafocus sa mga customers pero karamihan, naghahanda sa pupuntahan.

We were told na surprise party 'yun and the celebrant will be home by 2 pm..

So we need to get there before 12 kasi mag-aayos pa. I told Candy that we should start by 9 am kasi magluluto pa. Pero sabi naman niya they could manage naman daw kaya okay lang na magpalate ako ng konti. I don't even know why.

"Candy, kamusta rito?" tanong ko agad pagkakita ko sa kanya.

"We're doing good po, halos lahat hinahanda na at marami pang oras," sabi niya habang sinusuot ko apron ko to check on everyone.

Ang kinuha nilang package ay Lunch Buffet Set 2. Mukhang late lunch ang mangyayari. So that includes, California Roast Chicken, Lemon Dill Pan Pork Korean Sesame, Seasonal Vegetables in Brown Butter and importantly, the client's request, Fettuccine Carbonara. Favorite raw ng celebrant.

It also includes Deconstructed Apple Pie and New York Cheesecake for the desserts, and Red Iced Tea and Lemonade for the drinks.

Isa isa kong tiningnan lahat, at tinikman. And everyone's doing a job well done.
