Whispers of the Sacred vow

Chapter 01

Stepping into the unknown

Nakatayo ngayon ang isang babae sa tabi ng isang lumang puno at maririnig mula sa harap nito ang agos ng tubig na nagmumula sa isang ilog. Payapang nakatingin siya rito at mukhang malalim ang iniisip.

"Nakakainis! " She said as she threw the stone she picked up into the water.

The surroundings were filled with silence, of course because she was the only one here. Siya lang naman ang nakakaalam ng lugar na ito.

She sighed and laid the mat she had brought under a lush tree and took out the food and a book in a basket.

Nang matapos niyang ihanda ang lahat umupo siya at sumandal sa puno para basahin ang libro habang kinakain ang dalang pagkain.

Ilang oras ang lumipas napagpasyahan niyang umuwi na dahil malapit na rin namang dumilim.

Nang makauwi sa kaniyang condominium agad siyang pumunta sa banyo at naligo. She entered her room and dressed a comfortable night gown.

She dropped her body on the soft bed and closed her eyes

"Kapag nakita talaga kita humanda ka. " There is emphasis in her voice and the annoyance is obvious.

Sumikat na ang araw at tumama ito sa mukha ng babae, she immediately opened her eyes and looked at the time on her phone.

Nagulantang siya ng makitang alas 8 na ng umaga, ngayon pa naman ang mahalagang interview niya sa trabaho. She rushed to shower and get dressed, she didn't have breakfast because she was in such a hurry.

"Arghhhh, bakit naman ganito ngayon pa talagang may interview ako! " She muttered as she drove towards the company.

While driving she felt her stomach churning.

"Gutom na ako, aaah ang sakit ng tiyan ko." Pag-iinarte niyang saad na parang maiiyak sa gutom na nararamdaman.

She arrived at the company and hurriedly went inside.

"Hi, saan po ba itong room na ito? " "She asked, her face clearly showing her haste."

"6th floor, Interview room. " The woman she asked responded.

"6th floooor?? " Her surprise was evident in her reaction. " Sana naman may elevator dito. " She quickly looked for the elevator and entered it.

Narating na nga niya ang 6th floor ng building at ang interview room dito. Pumasok siya rito at nagulat ng makita niya ang isang babae.

"U-uhm, pasensya na po na-late po kasi ako ng gising tapos hindi ko po alam kung anong floor itong interview room so nagtanong po ako at hinanap it-" Mahaba niyang paliwanag ng biglang putulin ng babae ang sinasabi niya.

"Alam mo bang kanina ka pa hinihintay ni Sir, umalis siya sa sobrang inip. Ako si Vernice secretary niya, ako na lang daw mag interview saiyo." Vernice explained it to her.

"Ano nga ulit ang pangalan mo?" Dugtong pa nito.
Sumagot siya " Raya, Raya Elara Sinclair." Pagpapakilala niya.

The interview was over and she was given additional information about his future boss

"Uhm, Raya si sir nga pala ayaw niya ng mabagal kumilos." Vernice said while facing away from her and tidying up her things. " Ayaw niya rin ng sobrang tamis na kape, kapag titimplahan mo siya pure black coffee lang. Gusto niya kasi yung matapang, plus ayaw niya ng mabaho at maruruming bagay." She added.

"Tatandaan ko iyan, salamat ah." She smiles as a response to what was Vernice said to her.

"Tara, ituturo ko saiyo ang office ni sir." Saad ni Vernice at lumabas ng pinto ng I.R

They have already reached their boss's office, and Vernice has also bid farewell to leave.

"Paano Raya, mauuna na ako ah. Ikaw na ang bahala rito." Vernice smiles at her and then left.

Tumango siya bilang tugon dito. Inilibot niya ang mga mata sa opisina ng kaniyang amo, she was amazed how big the room is and how clean it was.

Hinawakan niya ang lamesa at walang naramdamang kahit alikabok dito. "Ganito ba kaarte ang magiging amo ko? "

She sat on the soft sofa and waited for her boss. Inaantok na siya sa paghihintay ngunit wala pa rin ang amo niya, hanggang sa hindi niya namalayang nakatulog na pala siya.
