Chasing Dreams (Book 2)

SAMANTHA's POV

Samantha: Magandang umaga po.

Lourdes: Saan ang lakad mo at bihis na bihis ka? Ang aga pa ah.

Samantha: Manang, may trabaho na po ako sa opisina ni... Congressman.

Bernardo: Aba mabuti yan. Baka makatulong yan para bumalik ang memorya mo. Isa pa, hindi ka talaga bagay sa bukid.

Samantha: Lakay.

Bernardo: Totoo naman ah. Ang ganda mong bata.

Lourdes: Tama naman ang lakay mo. Sige na, maupo ka na at ng makapag-almusal ka bago ka umalis.

Samantha: Salamat po talaga sainyo. Makakatulong na po ako sa gastusin dito sa bahay.

Bernardo: Huwag mo kami intindihin ng Manang mo. Ipunin mo ang sasahurin mo para may sarili kang pera.

Samantha: S-sige po.

These people were not in my dreams and I don't know them but they are so kind to help me. What did I do to deserve them? Their heart are so pure.

I arrived in front of Sandro's office and saw familiar faces. I took a deep breath. Kaya ko ba talaga mag-stay sa isang lugar kung nasaan sya palagi? Am I doing the right thing? Nagtatalo na naman ang puso at isip ko.

Cass: Sam!

Samantha: Cass! Hello!

Cass: Kanina ka pa?

Samantha: Hindi, kadarating ko lang.

Cass: Tara sa loob para makapag-palit ka ng damit.

Samantha: B-bakit? May problema ba sa damit ko?

Cass: Ano ka ba, wala naman. Pero kasi may uniform kami dito. Bibigyan kita ng polo shirts. Halika na.

Samantha: Ah? Okay.

I was busy changing my top when I heard noises. For sure, he's here. I scanned myself in the mirror and noticed that my skin gets darker and my hair is longer. Then I started to braid my hair and tuck my shirt. I make sure that everything is okay before I go out of the comfort room.

I ran in front of his office where his staff were and saw him coming, holding the hand of his girlfriend while they walked towards us and greeted each and every one of us. I forced a smile and greeted them too.

Samantha: G-good morning po.

Am I being intimidated with their appearance?

Lex: Hi Samantha! You're here.

Samantha: H-hello.

Sandro: Babe, we have to discuss some things in my office.

Lex: Ok sure. I'll be right here.

Sandro: Cass, Samantha let's go.

Cass: Yes po Cong.

I followed them to his office and took a quick glance at Lex before entering the room. I feel envious. I never felt this before, jealous yeah, when I saw Sandro with Lex. But that happens in my dreams. Iba pala kapag nakikita mo ng totoo, mas masakit. Pero ito yung gusto ko di ba? Yung masaktan.
