CHAPTER 11
First Day

It took me almost a month to get a job without my name's connection. With only the management where I went for my internship, they were glad to have me. But I wouldn't deny that being a Sandoval is my biggest advantage.

I wanted to do things my own, but my father's surname is well-known in every industry.

Isang malaking himala na nga lamang na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa umuuwi si daddy. Three weeks ago, I moved back home. Pinilit ako ni mom at wala rin daw siyang kasama. Although I'm back home, I wasn't always around. Araw-araw akong umaalis upang mag-apply. I also tried applying online, but I know it won't work for me.

"You're ready for the first day?" Malaki ang ngiti ni mommy nang bumaba ako.

"Yes, mom," nakangiting sagot ko sa kanya.

I was already in my smart casual attire when we headed to the dining to eat breakfast. Inilagay ko sa katabing upuan ang white Hermes birkin bag na dadalhin ko sa trabaho mamaya. This is my first time using a handbag worth hundreds of thousands, so I handled it with so much care.

"What time will you be home later?" mom asked when we were about to finish.

Sandali akong nag-isip bago nahihiyang ngumiti sa kanya. "I'm not sure, mom, but, I think, I'll be home late. As I've heard from them, they're currently working on something like a music festival?" hindi siguradong sambit ko. Nanatili pa ang titig niya sa akin kaya nagpatuloy ako. "They're working on a lot of projects. That's why they hire me even if they're not hiring."

"All right." She nodded. "I won't wait for you since you said you'd be late."

Hindi nagtagal ay hinatid niya 'ko sa may parking ng bahay. My dad gave me a Mercedes-Benz as a graduation gift. I went to a driving school with my friends before, kaya marunong akong magmaneho.

"Drive safely, and don't skip your meal," huling paalala ni mommy bago ako pumasok ng sedan.

Muli ko pang nginitian si mommy bago sinimulang paandarin ang sasakyan. I connected my phone to the Bluetooth of the car before turning left. And finally, leaving home.

It took me fifty minutes to arrived at the basement of the building—where the company I'm working for is located. For the last touch, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I still looked good, so I only sprayed a mouth freshener on my mouth before going out of my car.

Mahigpit ang kapit ko sa ID ko hanggang sa makasakay ako ng elevator. I was alone in the basement, but more people came in when it stopped in the lobby. Nanatili akong nakatayo sa dulo ng elevator hanggang sa unti-unting magbabaan ang mga tao. 

On the eleventh floor, I was widely smiling when I stepped out of the elevator. Bumungad sa akin ang receiving area. Sa likod no'n ay ang malaking logo ng Making Memories. The girl in the reception welcomingly smiled at me.

"I'm the new event assistant of Ms. Love," I informed.

"Binilin po kayo sa akin ni Ms. Love. You can go straight inside. Use your ID as a keycard. Turned left, and the first door is the room of Ms. Love." Hindi nawala ang ngiti sa labi niya nang ipahayag niya iyon.

Nagpasalamat at binati ko siya ng magandang umaga bago sundin ang sinabi niya. Using my ID, the tinted glass door opened. Sa pagpasok ay mayroong mga upuan at lamesa. Sa tingin ko'y rito nila inaasikaso ang mga kliyente. Sa bandang ito rin makikita ang napakalaking glass window—tanaw na tanaw ang mahabang trapiko mula rito

When I saw someone quietly sleeping on one of the couches, I bit my lips. Without further ado, I turned left. Dahan-dahan ang ginawa kong paghakbang upang hindi tumunog ang suot kong heels. I know they're busy, but I didn't think that they're as busiest as this. Hindi na nakauwi at dito na nakatulog. I only wish I shouldn't found myself in that position.
