"Yeah, we're almost done. Just give us a month to finalize it."
I ended the call after the owner called us to check the house. It's actually done. We just have to check it because I don't want them to encounter any problem in this house.
The design of our project is really good. It is a modern house type with brown palette colors. I really like this project of mine. Of course it will end nicely since I'm with Architect Buenaventura.
"You good?" Architect Buenaventura softly said. He's here pala. Hindi ko na s'ya napansin because I'm busy looking at our project.
"Yeah, ganda 'no?" I asked him. I know he'll agree with me. Project kaya namin 'to.
"You? Always." He replied. What was he saying?
"Our project, Architect." Clarifying what I said.
"Oh! Of course! Tayo gumawa n'yan eh" He replied. He's always like this, pero sanay naman na ako sa kan'ya because we're friends for more than a year. He likes complimenting me and I really don't know how to accept his random compliments.
We went inside the office after a while because it's hot outside and I need to fix my things because Mr. Gabriel asked me to go to his office. I'm just waiting for his call.
After fixing my things, ready to go, Mr. Gabriel called and I immediately answered it. After the call, Architect Buenaventura asked me.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Mr. Gabriel called me. He asked me to go to his office about the new project." I replied.
"Why didn't he call me? It's a big project and for sure, tayo na naman partner d'yan."
"I don't know." Siguro? Baka? Mr. Gabriel didn't say anything naman about the project eh kaya hindi ko rin alam kung sino partner ko pero baka s'ya nga since kaming dalawa ang pinagkakatiwalaan ni Mr. Gabriel.
"I'll go with you." He said after leaving me to get his things. He's not even invited. Ang kulit talaga nitong isang 'to.
After a while, we went to my car and he insisted to drive. I didn't argue with him. Since medyo mahaba ang byahe, I'll rest na lang.
After an hour, we arrived at Mr. Gabriel's office. Naguguluhan ako sa sinasabi n'ya dahil hindi n'ya binabanggit si Architect Buenaventura. I thought we'll going to be partners here.
"This is really a big project that's why I assigned you with this." Mr. Gabriel said. He's explaining to me some details at hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi n'ya sinasabi 'yong mga mahahalagang detalye.
"Bakit hindi ka binabanggit ni Mr. Gabriel?" I asked Architect Buenaventura. He looked at me confused. "Baka iba kasama ko?" I added. Mr. Gabriel left us for a while because he need to call someone.
"Because I'm already here. Hindi na n'ya ako kailangan sabihan since napakikinggan ko naman na mga sinasabi n'ya" He said. Bakit ako binabanggit? I'm here naman ah?
