Celene POV
I fall asleep super late. Hindi sanay ang katawan ko sa matigas na sahig na hinihigaan ko. Kahit may comforter sa likod ko, it feels so solid.
"Hey, Celene! Gumising kana. Alas dyes na, tulog ka parin?" si Maria na halata ang irita sa boses nito.
God! My back hurts.
Without saying a word, bumangon ako at tumambad sa akin ang nakataas na kilay na Maria. She has this big band aids in her hands.
"Ohh ayan, sabi ni tatay ibigay ko daw sayo?"
For a slip second, I was confused. "Bakit daw, para saan?" but then, baka halata nila ang sugat ko sa labi or nahalata nila ang sugat ko sa ulo?
"Para saan ba pa ang band aid? Malamang para sa sugat mo. May tinatago ka noh?" nakataas paring kilay nitong sabi. She's still curious about my secret for god sake!
I sighed deeply. "Wala akong tinatago Maria. Noong nakita ako ng tatay mo, galing ako non sa gubat at madilim na. Paulit-ulit akong natapilok kaya marami akong pasa!" pag explain ko dito, making it more convincing.
Tumango-tango siya. "Oh siya, bilisan mo jan. Isasama kita sa trabaho ng may silbi ka habang nakikituloy ka sa amin"
"Anong trabaho ba 'yan?" kinakabahan kong tanong.
Damn! I don't know any kind of work for god sake!
She shrugged and didn't bother answering me. Umismid ito at saka ako iniwan.
Their way of life is very different from the life I've been living. Hindi ko alam kung paano pa ako maliligo sa ganitong lagay. Open space at isang tela lang ang gamit para maligo. God! Hindi ko din alam anong tawag sa telang gamit nila!
Isang oras akong nakatayo sa paliguan nila thinking how could I possibly take a bath. Thank goodness at nakaligo din ako sa tulong ni aling merna.
Maria hand me her clothes. Plain white shirt and a jeans. Tumulak din kami pagkatapos kong magbihis. Namasada naman si manong Lucas at naiwan sa bahay si aling merna at si Angelo.
I didn't expect the work to be disaster. I was assigned to the dirty kitchen at tatlong plato ang nabasag ko.
"Wala ka talagang silbe, kahit paghuhugas ng pinggan hindi mo alam?" galit na singhal sa akin ni Maria.
I mentally rolled my eyes. Well, I don't know how cause I live like a princess.
Inalis ako sa dirty kitchen at na assign sa pagiging waitress. And guess what, dalawang beses akong nakahulog ng order.
"Bobo mo talaga!" Maria again, making me embarrassed dahil ang daming customer sa resto.
I sighed in frustration. I wanted to scream but decided against it.
All the damage will be charged in me. Wala akong sweldo for making the damage.
Freak! Kung hindi lang ako wanted.. I wound not do any of this!
So lastly, I was assigned to the cashier register. Nag magandang loob ang kasamahan ni Maria at tinuruan ako paano ang gawain don.
"Thank you, feel ko kaya ko na!" sabi ko sa kanya saka siya pinasalamatan. Nginitian niya ako at siya ang pumalit sa akin bilang waitress.
May nagbayad ng bill at inasikaso ko ito. The guy had 1000 change. I was about to gave it to him when he shook his head.
"Keep the change" nakangisi nitong sabi sa akin at agad ding umalis.
