Captured Heart (Sunki CDL 01)

05.

Halos tatlong oras na ako dito sa resto and I guess I'm doing just fine, madali lang naman, kukuha ng order, pupunta sa counter then bibigay ung meals and ayon na.

Nung mga bandang tanghali na, dumami na mga tao so napressure ako, kahit saan ata may nakaupo, lima kaming servers pero hindi parin enough so pumasok na si Drake na dapat nasa counter. I look at him while he's working and I can see how determined he is, I just hope ganon din ako, kapag kasi may ginagawa ako, mabilis ako mapagod at tamarin. I looked away when he looked back at me.

Habang naghihintay sa costumer na hihingi ng service ko, I saw a lady on the table malapit sa entrance, she's just staring at her meal bago titingin sa paligid. I don't if  what I saw was true, I saw her put a hair on her meal. Why would she do that?

"Hey, waiter!" Sigaw nung babae, she looks like she have a problem sa meal na sinerve sa kanya. And I know exactly what she's up to.

"Yes, ma'am?" I said with a smile kahit na alam ko ung ginawa niya, she's trying to set up all of us, all of the workers here.

"Can you at least do your works properly? May buhok ung sinerve niyo sa'kin!" Medyo napalakas ung boses niya kaya napatingin samin ung mga nasa kalapit na mesa.

"I'm sorry ma'am but we make sure what we serve for our costumers was properly served."

"Properly served?! Then why did I saw a strand of hair on my plate?!" This time sobrang lakas na kaya di na ako magtataka na marami nang nakatingin samin. Gago pala to eh, ikaw naglagay niyan tas maninisi ka?

"I may sound rude but I saw you put your own hair on your plate ma'am." I said.

"Ano nangyayari?" Drake came.

"Your server served the food with a goddamn hair —"

"We didn't. You put your own hair on your plate, nakita ko ma'am, why would you do that?"

"SO  YOU'RE PUTTING THE BLAME ON ME?!"

"Calm down, ma'am. It's not like th—" Drake said but I stopped him.

"Yes ma'am." I said again.

Hindi naman ata tama ung ginawa niya? Pinapalabas niya na kami ung may mali samantalang siya tong gumawa non. Pwedeng masisante ung mga payapang nagtatrabaho dito na walang ibang ginawa kundi magbigay ng good service dahil lang sa false accusations na ginawa niya. Hindi ako makakapayag non.

Napatingin sa'kin si Drake before giving me a warning not to say anything. Pinakalma niya ung babae samantalang ako gustong gusto ko sabihin na mali siya.

"I won't let this pass! Where's your manager!? I need to talk to your manager! I want him fired! I want him out of this place!" She said while shouting at me.

Maya-maya pa dumating na si Ms. Kat, I saw her looked at me with a worried look.

"Let's settle this down, calm down Mrs. Tyler—"

"I won't calm down hanggat nakikita ko ung mukha ng waiter niyo! I want him out of this resto! Fire him!"

"We can't do that—" Ms. Kat.

"Then I will!" She said. Lalapit sana siya sa'kin but Drake pulled me away from her.

Gumagawa na kami ng eksena, halos lahat ng tao sa resto nakatingin samin at pansamantalang tumigil sa pagkain nila.

"What's with the commotion?" A deep voice suddenly invaded the whole room which made us silent. The air changed intensely.

May ting-ting in a suit na naglalakad pupunta sa pwesto namin, his stares made the air more intense. He looked at me but I looked away dahil sobrang lalim ng titig niya, kahit ako kinabahan.
