Shaofey's Pov:
"I was always wondering was my future would be like"
Pagkalabas ko sa elevator binati agad ako ng mga ka office mates ko' at sinalubong ako ng palakpakan i was promoted for doing everything in the company, i give my all so i deserve to be promoted diba? They congratuate me.
......................................................................
"Ms. Shaofey?" Tinawag ako ng co workers ko.
"Ha? Ano yon?" Sabi ko habang naghihikab.
"Can we go now?" Sabi niya
"Sure sure, go bye bye" sabi ko, at nag paalam nadin sila saken at umalis.
Biglang nag ring yung phone ko tumatawag pala yung boyfriend ko.
"Hello?"
"Alam mo ba kung anong oras na? Nasa office kapa ba? I still waiting for 5 minutes" sabi niya
OMG! may date nga pala kami!
"Sorry sorry! Ill leave now" sabi ko
"If you won't be here in 5 minutes I'll leave" sabi niya sabay baba ng phone.
Ugghhhh! Kainis naman oh! Hindi sapat yung 5 minutes! It will take half an hour urgh! Inayos ko na yung mga gamit ko at aalis na sana ng biglang dumating yung ceo ng company.
"Merong conference later and your team will stay to prepare for it"
Tumingin ako sa mga co workers ko at sumesenyas sila ng 'no' jusko marimar naman oh! Anue nah teh?
Nakatingin lang saken yung ceo at naghihintay ng sagot ko. At napasabi nalang ako ng "we'll do it now" nakita ko yung mga co workers ko na na disappoint kahit naman ako. Lahat kami may kanya kanyang pupuntahan. Bago umalis yung ceo sinabi niya sa mga co workers ko na "look at shaofey what a role model diba? You should be like her" sabay alis.
Nakasimangot yung mga coworkers ko saken 😪. "Uy guys! We should stay a little longer just a LITTLE longer, earlier done, earlier home" sabay ngiti sa kanila. Bumalik sila sa
kani-kanilang cubicle ng padabog
"No one ever told me, that when you grew up, it's likely you'll have a not-so-good job, be in a not so good relationship, and live a not so good life" sabi ko sa isip ko.
Natapos na kami sa ot namin kaya pumunta muna ako sa convenience store para bumili ng cup noodles ng madinig ko yung mga office workers ko na inulit yung sabi ko kanina.
"We should stay a little longer earlier done earlier home, she's the one who told us to stay she wont get her bonus anyway. The ceo told us to learn from shaofey, fuck! Who wants to learn from her ba? She's working overtime for a little salary the heck? The company treats her like animal, alam niyo to be honest i feel bad for people people like her, sana hindi ako maging katulad niya pagnagtagal."
Umupo nalang ako sa gilid para hindi nila ako makita at nakikinig lang sa mga sinasabi nila. "Sino bang gustong maging katulad niya na miserable? Wala naman diba?" Umalis na sila ng convenience store, hindi ko alam na ganon pala yung tingin nila saken, all those time pinapakisamahan lang pala nila ako, all those time niloloko lang nila ko.
Umuwi nako at nakinig sa radyo ganto kase talaga ako pag malungkot nakikinig ako sa radyo.
"Do you like who you are now? When we grow up we became sophisticated and tend to compromise, in order to survive we become someone we can't recognize do you ever miss the time when you're naive and always dared to dream? Is that part of you still there? Do you still remmeber those people who played the important role in you're life Tonight we'll play the song when you believe by mariah carey" sabi sa radyo.
Kinuha ko yung slam book ko noong panahong highschool pa ako nakita ko na may nakalagay na sticker sa 'the people you like the most' tinanggal ko yon at nakasulat don 'race' bigla nalang tumulo yung mga luha ko nalala ko nanaman siya.
