"Ano pa bang dapat kong gawin para lang makuha ko ang panig niyo?!" I slammed my hands on my table. I raised my voice. Hindi ko napigilan pang ilabas ang frustration, inis at galit ko sa mga taong nasa harapan ko ngayon.
Just as I thought everything is going well, when this..this happens! Talagang sinusubukan ang pasensya ko. I can't believe they can do this to me. Na para bang kahit kailan ay hindi sila naniwala sa kakayahan ko!
"We are not against you hija. It's just we have our reasons." Said Mr. Grande. He is one of my shareholders who happened to sell his shares to a monster.
"Yan..yang mga reasons niyo ang magiging dahilan ng pagtubo ng mga wrinkles ko! Hindi niyo man lang ako inabisuhan. " I stop to catch my breath.
"And of all people, bakit kay Fortalejo niyo pa piniling ibigay ang mga shares niyo?! Ngayon niyo sabihin sa akin na hindi niya kayo alliances! You gave him enough power to have influences on my...MY company!" I shouted. I saw my secretary shook his head on me as if reminding me to calm down.
Two of D&C's shareholders just gave up their shares to Fortalejo. Kaya ngayon..magkakaroon na ng contribution ang lalaking iyon sa teritoryo ko. I can't believe he will stoop this down low! He's doing this on purpose. Ginagantihan ba niya ako dahil sa pagkuha ko ng Mendrez Industries?!
"Calm down Ms. Aldea, We are not doing this just because we wanted Luigi in. We all know that in order to reach our goal of a world wide innovation, we will be needing another talented man to handle the company. Besides, it's not like he's getting the company from you. Magkakaroon lamang siya ng contribution para sa success ng kompanya. " said Mr. Clavio.
Naikuyom ko ang mga palad ko. If they all knew! Alam kong binabalak akong unti-untiin ng Fortalejo na iyon. He really wants me down at hindi ko alam kung bakit parang sumosobra naman na ata siya!
"I guess minsan kailangan nagsishare ako ng personal issues ng pamilya namin para malaman niyo kung bakit hindi ako pabor sa Fortalejo na iyon." I said trying to calm my voice this time.
"We knew about the issues your family had with them pero we do believe na hindi naman dapat kayong mga anak ang nadadamay hindi ba?" Mr. Clavio said. Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga at tumayo.
"Sabihin niyo yan kay Fortalejo at hindi sa akin" I said before turning my back.
"Ma-ma'am! Sa-an ka po pupunta?" I heard Mr. Stutter asked. Sinusundan lang nito ang paglalakad ko. Dito ako nagdire-diretso sa building lobby at pinapakalma ko ang sarili ko. I know it was wrong to shout at them dahil matatanda sila pero..hindi tama. Alam kong ayaw nila sa akin.
"Polluted ang office ko kaya ako ang lumabas."I said. I covered my face.
I counted 1-10 to supress my anger. The irritation invading me seems to crash everything on my sight."Ka-kailangan po kayo sa board room pa-para po sa--" I raised my hand and nod.
"Alam ko..hindi na kailangan pang ulitin na magkakaroon ng demonyo sa kompanya ko " I said.
Ilang minuto din ang tinagal ko sa lobby bago ako nakapagdesisyon na umakyat at pumunta sa board room. Nanatiling kuyom ang palad ko habang naglalakad. Hindi ko nga namalayan na nasa loob na ako ng board room. Lahat sila nakatingin sa akin dahil ilang minuto rin akong late. This is the first time..at nabanggit ko na bang I hate meetings like this!
I gaze each and everyone inside the room. I sighed in defeat. Defeat not with the fact that Luigi had his another way to make me miserable..defeat of all these people inside. Masyado nila akong kinakawawa. They disliked me ever since. At ang mas nakakainsulto doon ay kahit napakarami ng achievements ng kompanya dahil sa akin ay hindi ko parin nakuha ang tiwala nila. They still need someone better..
