"Ako na lang!"
Jeron gave me a surprised look when I volunteered to be his secretary. Over dinner, kinwento niya sa akin na nag-file ng leave si Ate Angel para umuwi sa probinsya at alagaan ang nanay niyang may sakit.
My husband said that he would survive without an assistant, but Mama insisted that he should find one in the meantime.
"Sigurado ka?", tanong niya sa akin.
"Yep! Bored na rin ako dito sa bahay. Three months pa bakasyon ko.", reklamo ko.
Normally, students like me would take review classes or any activity that would sustain our study habit pero may mga ibang bagay nga na nangyari sakin.
And in fairness, kahit naman mag-asawa kami ni Jeron eh nagagawa ko pa ring mag-aral.
My husband stared at me seriously.
"Why should I hire you?", he asked.
Ay, may interview pala, di ako na-orient. Buti na lang kaya ko 'tong bolahin, charot!
Ehem, ehem.
"I assure you, I am qualified for the job, Sir.
First of all, I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology from one of the top universities in the country. I have good oral and written communication skills. I can work under pressure and I manage my time well. Also, I can say that I am patient and organized as a person."
"Hmmm...", parang nag-isip pa si Jeron.
Di pa convinced?! Grabe naman!
Gusto pa ata ng extra service eh.
"Masarap po akong mag-timpla ng kape, Sir! At magaling din po akong mag-masahe!", dagdag ko pa.
Parang nagpipigil na siya ng tawa.
"Willing pa po akong mag-OT! Hindi po ako uuwi hanggang di kayo umuuwi. Pero... Pwede pong sumabay sa inyo, Sir?"
Jeron let out a chuckle. Ang gwapooo!!!
"Mrs. Teng... Are you... seducing me?"
Bakit Sir, effective po ba?
Ayyy, grabe! Ano bang nakain ko at bigla akong nag-kaganito???
"No, Sir. I'm just saying... I'm ready and happy to serve you."
As your executive assistant...
And as your wife.
I smiled at him.
He was just staring at me.
"At ang pinakabongga sa lahat, I can work for free. Kahit piso, di ako maniningil.", I said.
His expression turned serious.
"Are you sure about this? I don't want you to be stressed out.", malambing niyang sabi.
Hay, what did I do to deserve this man?
I shook my head.
"Kayang-kaya ko yan. Tungkol kaya sa stress management yung thesis ko nung undergrad. Don't worry about me, ok?", I gave him an assuring smile.
