The Internship

"Baaaahhhh! Gumising ka na antagal tagal mo bumangon! Malalate na tayo!"

"Shhh.. Shut up Bah.. I'm sleeping.. Mambulabog ka ng iba." God this woman takes forever to wake up. Binato ko siya ng unan. Nothing happens.

Pumunta ko sa pader at yumuko. Hopeless Bah.

"Wtf Bah." She giggles at my actions. Still not getting the hell up. "Tantrums again." Naging habbit ko to until I can't remember.

"Okay lang ako Bah. Masaya kausap yung pader." Sense the sarcasm my dear. "Edi wow." She turns around facing her back at me.

"Bah bumangon ka na!" I insisted. She pretends to sleep again.

"Malalate tayo pinapatawag tayo ni Josh. It's about something important." She starts to take notice of my eagerness.

"Is that why you're so early? Fine eto na. Pero tandaan mo to-" She grabs her towel and heads towards the bathroom but before closing the door she finishes off "Walang forever." I shake my head amusingly at the thought.

After an hour of getting ready, I watch her as she looks like i'm not waiting for her to frickin finish her meal. "Dalian mo kaya bah?" She raises an eyebrow at me. I put my hands up in surrender. Never mess with a girl and her food cravings.

Hihi. Malanding tawa yun. Hahaha. Magpapakilala muna ko. Ako nga pala si Aya Madrigal and I'm currently living with my bestfriend Bah, Era Madrid. We share a same condo and forever friends since highschool. Independent na nga kami eh. Cuz we're PK - you know? Pretty kids. Hahahaha. Pero kahit we have a fortunate background, ayaw namin mag-rely on just our family's wealth kaya we started living independently on our own while being supported from the sidelines. Guess you could say we're pretty lucky girls. But we're not slackers. Me and Era are fresh graduates and accelerated kami. So we're still the age of college students pero may trabaho na kami. We're currently working in a modelling agency. We started a few weeks ago but got the hang of it eventually.

And today seems a little different. Don't know what it could be but may very important meeting kami pag-uusapan. Hala! Wait. Lumabas na si Bah.

"Bah 'lika na alis na tayo!" I grab her hand as I lead her down to the parking lot.

"Anong gagamitin nating sasakyan?" I ask her. She thinks for a second then realizes something. "Sayo nalang pala." I turn to her suspiciously, the same as the smiles she's pulling.

"Osige, get in." Sumakay nako sa sasakyan at nag-drive papunta sa company. I sneak her a glance. If I know di lang nakapagpa-gas tong si Bah eh. I scoff at the thought.

"Wala kang gas noh?" I playfully tease her. Hahaha. Bakat sa mukha nya yung sagot. Gotcha!

"H-hoy Ano ko pulubi? Gusto ko lang magkadriver-OUCH HA!" I hit her playfully. Just say you forgot silly. I go back to focus on driving.

"Ano kaya pag-uusapan natin? Bakit kaya siya important?" I ask her while I don't take my eyes off the road.

Nagkibitbalikat lang siya. "Dunno but we're about to find out." And a quick turn to the left and I notice we've already arrived.

I lower the window as we stop by the guard house. "Hi Manong Guard! Pogi natin today ah!" bola ni Bah. "Aba'y mukha pa rin siyang 21 oh!" Nagtawanan lang kami sa pagbati sa kanya. Nakitawa naman siya.

"Hay nako kayong dalawa! Wala pa rin pinagbago sa inyo mula nung nagsimula kayo dito." He smiles sweetly at us. He treats us like his own daughters to be honest because he's the kindest guard we've ever come to know and love truthfully. I know he isn't young anymore and hasn't that much of a lifestyle to look forward to but he does his job well and everyone else acknowledges him. He's a good person and it shows on how he treats others.
