Sabrina's POV

"hayy salamat! nakuwi din!." agad akong sumalampak sa kama pagka dting na pgka dting ko. "a..aa." may foot hurts. agad akong tumayo at agd kong gnamot ang paa ko. "grabe, halos mamatay ang mga kuko ko! bwiset na kalabaw yunn!argghhhh..!" sa sobrang pagod d ko nmalyan na nka tulog na pla ako. umaga na nang ngsing ako. umunat unat muna ako bgo tuluyang bumangon. "a.aa..aa" kumirot ang paa ko at sa sobrang skit npa upo ulit ako sa kma. "aaaaaang sakit.. ano ba to? grabe, namamaga na yung paa ko. ano ba yung sapatos  nung lalaki na un? granite ba yun? aa..aa.. " kahit maskit ang paa ko, pinilit kong bumangon at pumasok, paika-ika nga lng ako.

Naglalakad ako malapit na sa shop, nang may humintong kotse sa harap ko."Hey monkey? what happened to you? bat ka gnyan maglakad?" pagtatanong ni kalabaw na parang hindi niya alm kung ano dahilan bt gnito paa ko. magsslita plang ako ... "ik....." hindi ko na ntapos ang ssbhin ko nang bigla niyang pinaandar ang kotse. "eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! bwiset na to!!!!!! walang modo ka tlga!! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" panggigil na sigaw ko. "peste tlga siya! bwiset, bwiset!" pagsasalita kong mag isa habng hirap na hirap na naglalakad papuntang shop.

-Pagdting ko sa shop-

sinalubong agd ako ni aly. "oh sabrina, anong nangyari sa paa mo? bt gnyan ka maglakad?" "db snbi ko na ang dahilan syo kahpon?" sagot ko sknya. "yung dahil ba yan sa libro na bumagsak sa paa mo?" pagbblik niya ng tanong sa akin. "oo." sagot ko ulit. "dahil lng sa libro sab, nagkaganyan  paa mo?" "ee encyclopedia ba naman ee." "haaaaaaaaa? encyclopedia ang bumagsak sayo?" gulat niyang tanong. "oo nga, ulit ulet?, sige na magpapalit nko ng dmit." npansin ko namang napadaan si kalabaw, papunta siya sa locker. "cge sab, magpalit kana, mag ingat kna next time aa.." paalala niya. "oo. wag kna mag alala." sagot ko naman.

I headed to the locker. i saw kalabaw looking at the feedback form na nilgay ko khpon sa locker niya. lumapit ako. "Sobrang dami naman neto!." he complained. "30 pcs yan, coz we have 30 days in a month. 1 form for every table attended. minimum of 1 form and maximum of 5 in a day. the number of form used symbolizes the number of table attended.  kaya kung masipag ka, you can attend as many tables as you can long as it won't exceed to 5. kung magkulang ang form, you can request for more at the office." i explained while fixing my things, then humarap ako sknya. parang hindi siya nkikinig, he was just looking at the form. i took it off his hand. "Customers rate our shop this way, for the Food, andito yung Flavor, presentation, value for money, choice and freshness. For the Venue, we have Atmospere and Cleanliness of Venue. And last, for the Service, meaning, tayong mga staff. we have here, Friendly, Professional, Explanation Of Menu, Time taken to be Served, and Account Settlement. 5 for the highest and  1 for the lowest." then i look at him, parang wala lng siya, he's not even looking. Pero okay na yun, atleast di siya nag wa-walk out, gaya ng lagi niyang gnagawa. "Oh? tapos nb?" he asked. "Para pla dun sa incentives na sinasbi ni manager, hindi na kasama sa pag tally ng ratings yung Food and Venue, ang shop na ang bahalang mag improve dito. you will just focus in the Service." i added. i hand him back the form and then umalis nko. "aisssshhhtttt." i heard him  mumbled.

Travis' Pov

I was in my car heading to the Coffee Shop. i stopped when i saw little monkey, She's having a hard time walking. Npailing ako. "Is it because of yesterday?. Is it because of me?". umiling ako ulit. "Noooooo! its not me who started it. siya naman nag simula. i called her. "hey monkey! what happened to you? bat ka gnyan maglakad?" tanong ko sknya. "ik.." d pa man din siya tpos magslita, umalis nko agd. i thought of giving her a ride pero bigla akong nhiyang gawin yun. naisip ko ksi why am i gonna be concern with her, when i never give a damn to anybody.

Pagdting sa shop, "oh sabrina, anong nangyari sa paa mo? bt gnyan ka maglakad?" "db snbi ko na ang dahilan syo kahpon?" sagot ko sknya. "yung dahil ba yan sa libro na bumagsak sa paa mo?" pagbblik niya ng tanong sa akin. "oo." sagot ko ulit. "dahil lng sa libro sab, nagkaganyan  paa mo?" "ee encyclopedia ba naman ee." "haaaaaaaaa? encyclopedia ang bumagsak sayo?" gulat niyang tanong. "oo nga, ulit ulet?, sige na magpapalit nko ng dmit." I accidentally heard monkey and her friend's convo. paano ba nmang hindi, ee npakalakas ng boses nila. I was wondering, kung ba't hindi sinabi ni monkey yung totoong dahilan. bakit yun ang sinabi nya. "aiiissshttt, stupid!." i whispered on myself and passed by them. I saw something in my locker while fixing my things, the nonsense form. i took it and had a look on it. ""Sobrang dami naman neto!." i whispered. then biglang may nagsalita.... "30 pcs yan, coz we have 30 days in a month. 1 form for every table attended. minimum of 1 form and maximum of 5 in a day. the number of form used symbolizes the number of table attended.  kaya kung masipag ka, you can attend as many tables as you can long as it won't exceed to 5. kung magkulang ang form, you can request for more at the office." Andming sinabi ni unggoy, i was just looking at the form. then she suddenly took it. kya npatingin ako sknya. she explained the contents. "Customers rate our shop, for the Food, andito yung Flavor, presentation, value for money, choice and freshness. For the Venue, we have Atmospere and Cleanliness of Venue. And last, for the Service, meaning, tayong mga staff. we have here, Friendly, Professional, Explanation Of Menu, Time taken to be Served, and Account Settlement. 5 for the highest and  1 for the lowest." I was just staring at her while she's speaking. Dumapo ang mga mata ko sknyang mga labi. those lips disturbed me suddenly. rose-colored lips.. thats how i describe her lips. i lost my senses for a second. before she finished speaking, i look away. pretending that im not looking. bka mkahalata. i looked at her and asked if she's done explaining. "Para pla dun sa incentives na sinasbi ni manager, hindi na kasama sa pag tally ng ratings yung Food and Venue, ang shop na ang bahalang mag improve dito. You will just focus in the Service." she added before finally leaving. Paika-ika siya maglakad. I feel guilty. I shook my head.. "No i shoudn't be!" i composed myself at tuluyan nang lumabas.
