en Amour

Chapter 3 (The Boss)

IT'S MONDAY morning, the sun stuck into my eyes came from the glass window of my room with a white silk curtains hanging on it. The sun seem to tell me that Hey! it's time for you to wake up boss.

Naniningkit ang mga mata kong sumulyap sa aking pambisig na relo, It's six fifteen in the morning. It's too early, I know! But I have to get up and prepare myself. Again, it's a hectic day in the office.

I walk barefooted towards my washroom and I'm half naked, wearing only my black boxer shorts. I turn on the heater of shower and let the water splash into my adonis figure

After fifteen minutes I went out wrapped with a white towel on lower part of my body. I also rub my wet hair with my hand to remove some excess water. After a minute or two I was already dressed up. Wearing a white long sleeve covered with black suits and paired with a dark blue necktie and a black slacks. Then I made a steps down to the kitchen to have my breakfast.

Yaya Dori was preparing the table. I eat toasted bread with butter, a sunny side up egg and a cup of milk tea. Then, drove to Anderson's Company.

When I enter on the lobby the cold atmosphere of the place welcome me. I walk along the way and maintain my posture.

"Good morning Mr. Anderson" the receptionist greeted me with a smile.

"Good morning." I said and nod to her.

Halos lahat ng makasalubong ko ay binabati ako and I greeted them back.
Nagtuloy tuloy na ako sa elevator kung saan nagkukumpulan ang ibang aplikante. When they noticed that I'm entering on the same elevator where they are about to enter all of them look at me with a surprise facade, some of them were shy to enter inside. Magisa tuloy akong nakatayo sa loob.

Well they occupied me a private elevator and it is directly stop on my main office so that no one can disturb me. But since it's too early at mas trip kong sumabay ngayon sa iba kaya sinalubong ako ng nagtataka nilang mga mata.

"What are you waiting for? Papasok ba kayo o babawasan ko lahat ang sweldo nyo?" I said in a monotonous voice.

Halos di magkamayaw sa pagpasok sa loob ang iilan, subalit iniiwasan parin nilang masagi ako. More than ten people can accommodate inside the elevator may apat na elevator ang building at pang lima yung sakin so nahati na ang ibang mga aplikante.

Yung ibang nakasama ko sa loob ay halos tulala at animo'y umurong ang dila. No one is about to talk at tila nagsardinas sila sa likod ko. Para tuloy akong may nakakahawang sakit at ayaw nilang lumapit sakin.

I cleared my throat and fixed my tie. Para akong naipit kahit ang luwang luwang ng pwesto ko.

"I wonder why you are not talking and thronging yourselves on the corner? Do I have a disease and your scared that I might infect you all?" Walang kagatol gatol kong saad.

"Naku sir! H-hindi po, hindi po" sabay sabay nilang tugon at umayos ng pwesto sa tabi ko.

"Mr. Santos!"

Tawag ko sa lalaking nasa kanan ko na may nakaimprintang Karl Santos HR-Dept sa kanyang ID. Bahagya pa syang namutla at dumilat ang kanyang mala-tsokolateng mata ng bigla ko syang tawagin.

"S-Sir?"

"How's your work here in our company?"

He cleared his throat "Ok naman po Sir."

"Any complain about me? on how I handle the company? "

"No! No!—nothing Sir."

"Are you sure?" I looked at him straight, "I heard that you've been here for five years so for sure you noticed any changes on how I manage you all. My Dad and I has a quite differences, do we?"
