First day

Chapter 5

Sera pov

I admire myself while wearing my official uniform and a small smile form at my lips ... its cute and I cant still believe na naka pasok ako dito sa company na to ... dati pangarap ko lang pumasok ngayon andito na ako ... they have a beautiful facilities for their employees and pantry and their uniforms are sooooo cute J

A black pencil skirt just above the knee and a red blouse with a red ribbon ... a normal yet cute looking uniform ...

I fix my hair in a clean bun as they instructed me ... and im also wearing my 5 inch black heels well I love wearing heels since im only 5'7 in height kaya I need to wear something this high especially now that im working as a front desk assistant and yes I was hired to be a front desk assistant

Their job responsibilities are assisting clients when they try to check in ... in one of the suite here at hotel de' alcantara

"so this is tom he will be helping you with your training here at frontdesk" sabi ni mam Helen

Si mam Helen ang nag interview sakin kahapon.. she's nice and all kahapon lang pala sya medyo walang emotion kapag nag iinterview sya

"hi im tom you are" pag papa kilala nung tom daw sakin

He raised one hand at me as a form of introduction

"seraphine but you can call me sera" I accepted his hand and I smile at him

He seems nice and cute ... he's tall and cute ang puti din nya

"okay I'll leave you two alone, tom be nice okay"

"yes mam Helen"

Nag paalam na si mam Helen samin at ang naiwan nalang sa front desk ngayon ay ako at si tom

Sya daw kasi ang naka duty every morning and since bago pa lang ako sya daw ang mag tuturo sakin pag okay na ako sa pang gabi na daw ako or sa umaga din tulad nya may dalawa pa daw kasi frontdesk employee kaya baka maging morning ang duty ko

"as soon as sinabi na nila kung anung klaseng suite ang gusto nila get their information's and details input here and ask them kung may especial request sila na kailangan i-input mo sa receipt nila kung wala then that's when you are allowed to get their credit cards information kung mag babayad sila through credit cards kung hindi baka by cash sila mag babayad"

Tuloy tuloy ni tom na turo sakin buti nalang mabilis ako maka pick up kaya no hustle ang pag turo nya sakin ...

"okay.. so after all the transaction where can I get their key cards?" I asked

"here" tom answered while pointing at the cards that are hanging in the wall

"okay and"

"ask them kung kailngan ba nila ng tulong with their things"

Pinag pa tuloy na pag tuturo nya sakin ... tom seems a nice guy at mukhang type nya ako kasi ilang beses ko na syang nakikitang naka tingin sakin pag hindi ako naka tingin sa kanya or sobra syang maka ngiti sakin

Don't get me wrong he is cute and all but having boyfriend now isn't in my bucket list kaya sorry tom...

My whole day here at the hotel has been nice... tom and Helen have been nice to me..

They are my new found friends aehehehehe naka sama ko sila sa break time at kumain kami sa pantry nang hotel at libre naman ang lunch namin but lumabas pa kami para makapag coffee ...

After work nalaman ko kay mam helen na makaka duty ko si tom everyday since ang kulang na staff daw ngayon ay sa pang umaga and yung dalawang employee ay sa pang gabi na daw..sila

Permanently : ) nice

"hatid na kita" aya ni tom sakin nang matapos ang shift namin

"wag na tom"

"sige na san ka ba naka tira"

"sa makati din pero kasi susunduin ako ng kaibigan ko ngayon may pupuntahan pa kasi kami sorry next time maybe" I said to tom as we stop walking down the stairs of the hotel

Kinulit nya pa ako nang ilang beses pero sinabi ko na talagang may lakad ako kasama ang best friend ko pumayag lang sya na hindi ako ihatid nang pilitin nya akong hahayaan ko daw syang ihatid ako next time

Makulit si tom at may pag ka isip bata din kaya I had no choice to agree to his condition ..

He smile at me like a school boy that got a perfect score at his quizes when he heard me say "yes" to him..

Tumakbo sya palayo sakin para maka para nang taxi na sasakyan nya pero hanggang mabuksan na nya ang pintuan nang taxi nya ay naka ngiti pa din sya...

He bid his goodbye but before he left he reminded me that I owe him one..

"bye" the last thing I said before he went inside the taxi

Napa ngiti nalang ako... sa kakulitan ni tom

Like I said to tom, may usapan kami ngayon ni sarah para kumain nang dinner sa labas kaya nag antay ako sa tapat nang hotel like we plan...

I waited for sarah for almost 10 minutes pero wala pa din

Sarah knows I hate waiting ... im an impatient person and she is one of the punctual person I know so why is she late ?

Paalis na sana ako sa tapat ng hotel para tumawag ng taxi ng biglang mag ring ang phone ko

And when I saw in my screen's phone who is the person calling me I felt relieve

Sera: babae nasan ka na ilang minuto ka nang late so where are you

I rant but I heard no response from the other line but I can hear a small sobs as if someone is crying in the other line

Sera: sarah are you okay

Sarah: s-sera can you ( sniff ) pp-please come here

Mahina ngunit garalgal na utas ni sarah sa kabilang linya .. at duon alam kong umiiyak sya

Sera: sure where are you

Sarah: im in my condo im sorry cant meet you but can you please come here instead

Sera: sure sure just wait for me are you crying?

I ask her as I waived for a taxi to stop...

Sarah: sera they hate me

Sera: who.. who hate you

Sarah: my parents.. I hate them

I can hear some anguish and hate in her voice I haven't heard sarah in this kind of situation..

Sera: okay just calm down im going in your place okay im inside the taxi now so I'll be there in one hour okay

Sarah: thank you

"McKinley hills please" I said to the taxi driver as I entered the vehicle ..

Sarah already ended the call ...

What happen to her that made her feel that way ...
