Cyril (English Version)

2

Cyril exits the gate of Section 18.

He then proceeds to sing a song.

"Sometimes I get confused, whenever I think about my future."

Suddenly a jeep pulls up outside the subdivision.

"There are so many mysteries blocking my way. It interferes with the entry of the new day."

Cyril gets inside the jeep.

Apparently, he's the only person on board.

"But I can't give up, will fight until the end. I am almost there, I can feel it."

After a few minutes, he arrives at his destination.

He gets out of the jeep.

He continues singing his song, but he will not enter his place of work just yet.

He roams around first to see what other people are doing.

Many people are already chasing a ride to get to work.

The others are starting to prepare their wares on the road.

After he sang, he stands right in front of the entrance of Funside Local Diner, the fast food chain where he works.

As it is implied, Funside Local Diner lights are beautiful and bright.

They illuminate so well even during the day.

The air surrounding this fastfood chain is also fresh.

Red, blue, yellow, orange and black are the colors painted.

You can basically call it a type of family hangout.

Cyril's boss comes out of the staff room.

"De Mesa, please give this to Table 6"

Cyril hears the boss's command while cleaning the floor.

"Yes sir!"

There are customers who suddenly pass by Cyril.

"Hello sir, ma'am! Welcome to fun side local diner!"

Another co -worker suddenly calls his name.

"Cyril, will you please clean the toilet?"

Cyril would answer as he is holding the mop.

"All right just a minute!"

Cyril attempts to finish everything that he is asked to do.

He takes a deep breath.

He talks to one of his co-workers, Reinald Tejada.

Reinald asks him.

"So how's our star player?"

"Here. Still fighting for the dream."

Reinald extends the conversation.

"You know, I really admire you. You really do everything just to get what you want, Cyril?"

"Of course, I can't be a waiter forever. I also want to be able to run my own business while it's still early. What's more convenient for me is that I don't have to think about what I want to do with my business. I can just reopen my mom and dad's bakery. " Cyril answered.

"Where is that?"

"In my Province. In Albay."

"So, once you're able to save money to open it again, you will return to the province?"

"Maybe. I mean... That's the only reason why I went to Manila. To earn money. Because they say that the opportunity is greater here."

Reinald suddenly began contemplating.

"You know, you should have gone abroad instead. Maybe you would have saved up there faster for your parents' bakery."

"But I don't want to be too far away from my family. Besides, it's kinda difficult to get the paperwork done to go abroad. So I just signed up as a waiter here instead."

"You know, there's a lot more you can do here in Manila. Not just work. This is just a suggestion, but what if you open the bakery again, but you build it here in Manila? It's better than going back to the province. I mean, just like you said, the opportunities are here. "

"I'm thinking about that too, but I'm also thinking about my family. I also want to be with them again. But okay, I'll consider it. Maybe there's something else that can happen. We just don't know."

Suddenly the boss calls the both of them.

"Tejada, De Mesa, the dishes!"

Reinald and Cyril answer him at the same time.

"Yes sir!"

They both proceed to the kitchen immediately.
