"Cole, kailangan mo na talagang magvacation! Haggard kana sa work mo!" -My friend, Arah said.
We're here at the cafe, having our 30-minute break. She's complaining about my job, but I'm not. Sya pa 'tong na stress sa trabaho ko.
Anong trabaho ko? Well... I'm a tour guide in our own travel agency company. Yes ours! My parents wanted me to be part of the board but 'di ko pa sya feel, parang masyadong mataas at boring. Gusto ko muna mag tour guide nakakarelax minsan, patravel-travel lang ganun. Minsan kakapagod din magtrabaho sa sarili nyong company pag wala yong parents ko, ako sasalo lahat, gaya ngayon they went out of town without telling me first, they just sent me an e-mail.
Here I am now, so exhausted from paperwork and meetings. Nakakalimutan ko ng mag-pamper sa self ko.
"Are you listening to me, Cole? You have to go on a vacation." -iritang sabi ni Arah.
Kahit kailan napakamaalalahanin nya talaga. We're like sisters. She works at our company as well as a travel agency manager. My mother offered something big to her. They didn't want to tell me the terms and they always answered IT'S CONTROVERSIAL!
"I'll wait until my parents come home. Walang maiiwan sa company." - tamad kong pagkasabi.
"You have your employees, you don't trust them, do you?" - tanong niya.
"Ano ka ba! Of course, I trust my people. It just like wala raman din akong ibang gagawin, namimiss ko ng mag tour guide" - ako at kumagat ng tinapay at uminom ng kape.
"Then, do it. Your parents didn't stop you, ikaw lang tong praning sa trabaho, dapat perfect lahat! hay naku!" - Inis nyang pagkasabi.
Sigh.
We decided to go back to the office and continued our work.
Telephone rings...
The call is from the reception department.
"Good morning, Miss Nicole. Someone is looking for you." - our receptionist, Ann.
"Who?" - I asked.
"He is Mr. Steven." - she answered.
"He wants to talk to you, Miss Nicole." - she added.
"I'll be there in a minute and please, tell Gioze to prepare the meeting room now. Salamat." - utos ko sakanya.
"Noted, Miss" - Ann.
Mr. Steven? I haven't heard that name. Is he one of our clients? Okay so dapat ko syang kilalanin.
Gusto ko ng umuwi -____-.
Bag.o ako bumaba, syempre retouch muna tayo. Baka pogi to! ^___^
Sa pagbaba ko kasama ko ang secretary ni Mommy na si Grace. She's pretty but very silent. Kung anong tanong ko, sasagot lang sya. Like different sya parang boring sya kasama but I like how she works very satisfying sulit ang bayad ni mommy sa kanya.
" I want you to list down all what we have tackled." - utos ko sa kanya.
"Yes, Miss Nicole." - she agreed.
"Do you have a recorder or phone? mas madali sya" - I asked.
"Wala, Miss e. Nag-iipon pa ako but I can list down everything, don't worry." - she explained.
"What? nag-iipon?! ang laki ng sahod mo dito, Grace. Buy something for yourself" - me. Kaloka 'tong babae nato laki ng sahod pati cellphone di pa nabili.
" I will, Miss."
As I enter the meeting room, this is my face when I see him.
