Minah's POV

"Ms. Lynch accept ko na po ba 'yung project na inalok ni Mr. Dale?"

"For renovation ba?" I asked.

Bukod sa pagiging chef ko. Nag decide rin akong mag study about architecture and now. I'm one of the highest paid landscape architect.

"Yes. He wants to renovate his house and he saw you on a magazine daw, he got interested, so I'll accept it?"

"Yeah sure. Make a schedule for us, para maka usap ko siya."

"But he said he can't talk to you. Nasa Paris kasi siya right now. Having a vacation, so ang gusto niya sana mapa-renovate 'yung house, para pag balik niya okay na."

"What? Then who will i work with? Kanino ko sasabihin 'yung mga suggestions ko, and how can I know what he wants and his suggestions?"

I asked. Syempre kailangan ko pa rin ng opinion ng owner.

"That's not a problem for him. Ikaw na daw bahala. Well he trust your taste though."

I sigh.

"I want to talk to him." I said.

"Po?"

"I said I want to talk to him."

"Nasa Paris po siya." I rolled my eyes. Ang bobo rin nito eh.

"Via phone call of course. 'Yung pinantawag niyang number sa'yo. Contact it."

I said.

"Now?"

Tss! Tanga talaga. By the way nandito kami ngayon sa office ko. 'Yung office ko sa bahay ko. Yes. Nag pagawa na 'ko ng bahay. 'Yung kausap ko ngayon is 'yung P.A ko.

"Ay hindi. Baka bukas." I said sarcastically.

"Sorry po."

Kinuha niya 'yung phone. Which is 'yung ginagamit lang namin for work.

Inabot niya sa'kin 'yung phone after niyang ma-dial.

Nakaka tatlong ring pala sinagot niya na.

"Hello?"

Bigla 'kong napahinto nang marinig 'yung boses sa kabilang linya.

Pamilyar 'yung boses niya. His voice. Sa tinagal tagal na panahon ngayon lang tumibok ulit 'yung puso ko. Hindi ko alam bakit, pero bigla akong kinabahan.

"Hello?" Pag uulit niya.

Natulala lang ako.

"Ms. Lynch are you okay?" Narinig ko si Cara. 'Yung P.A ko nga.

"H-hello?" Nauutal na sabi ko.

"Cara is that you?"

Hindi ko sinagot 'yung tanong niya. Sobrang pamilyar talaga ng boses niya. Ugh! Nababaliw lang ako.

Okay Minah! Wake up! Move on.
Inayos ko 'yung tindig ko at huminga ng malalim. Baka nga ka boses lang.

"Is this Mr. Dale?" I asked after kong mabalik sa huwisyo.

"Yes. Ms. Lynch?"

Sobrang pamilyar talaga ng boses niya. My heart is beating fast right now.

"How did you know?" I asked. Ano bang nangyayari sa'kin? Hindi naman ako ganto makipag usap sa client eh.

"Hindi 'to boses ni Cara. I'm communicating with Cara and Ms. Lynch. Then who will it be if it's not Cara right?"

Oo nga naman. Common sense Minah.
