Dialing Operator Chew . . .

Call Connected.

"Hello! Welcome to Rant Bling and I'm your Operator Chew, ready to listen to what you've got there. How may I help you?"

"Hello, Nguya."

"Nguya?"

"Diba 'yun yung tagalog ng Chew?"

"Hahaha, okay. I got it."

"Ayos ba?"

"Ayos naman. Haha."

". . ."

"May rant ka ba ngayon?"

"Ah. . . wala naman. Gusto ko lang ng kausap."

"Oh."

"Bakit?"

"Kadalasan kasi sa mga callers ko, tumatawag lang para mag-rant. . . kaya hindi ako nagkakaroon dito ng kaibigan dahil makapag-rant lang sila, hindi na sila tatawag ulit."

"That's. . . quite sad."

"Really sad, actually."

". . ."

"Kaya natutuwa ako dahil may nakilala akong katulad mo."

". . ."

"You're calling me not just to rant but to blurt out about what you really feel, yet I wasn't supposed to do it because my job is all about listening to rants."

"Wala 'yon, Chew. Friend mo na ako. Hahaha."

"Basta kapag may rant ka, don't hesitate to call me okay?"

"Syempre naman."

"So, kamusta ka?"

". . ."

"Oy."

"That's not a part of your job, right?"

"Oo, pero hindi ba pwedeng kamustahin kita? I was worried about you the past few days. Because ya know. . . you're suicidal and I can't handle people with such problems as that."

"Oh. Sorry na. Haha."

"Okay lang 'yun, atleast you're honest with me."

"Thank you talaga."

"Wala 'yon. Haha."

". . ."

"Going back from what I asked you. . . kamusta ka?"

"Okay lang. Ikaw?"

"Okay ka lang ba talaga?"

"Oo nga! Hahaha."

"Sige, naniniwala na ako."

"Uhm. . . Chew?"

"Yes?"

"Chew ba talaga yung pangalan mo?"

"Unfortunately, no. That's just my alter ego."

"Ah. Kaya naman pala. Uhm, what's your real-"

"Haha, uunahan na kita. Bawal kaming mag-reveal dito. Sorry."

"Aw."

"I'm really sorry."

"Okay lang. Haha. Atleast may kaibigan akong kakaiba."

"Hindi ako kakaiba, simpleng tao rin naman ako noh."

"Weh. Ang sikat niyo kaya."

"Sikat nga siguro, pero sa mga alyas lang namin. Behind my ego is a simple girl who loves chocolates and dogs more than anything else."

"Oh. So dog lover ka? Hehe. Ang cute."

"That giggle. . . cute."

"Talaga?"

"Oo."

". . ."

"So, what's your birth year?"

"1996. Ikaw?"

"Geez. You're older."

". . ."

"I was born on the year 1999."

"Oh, ang bata mo pa pero dinaig mo na ako. . . may trabaho ka na agad. Samantalang ako, nag-aaral pa lang."

"Haha, parehas lang naman tayong nag-aaral pa. Part-time lang naman ang trabaho ko dito sa Rant Bling. Estudyante sa umaga, operator sa gabi."

"Parang ang hirap naman."

"Pero kinakaya ko. Oh, hah?! Hahaha."

"Hahaha. Sige, tulog na ako."

"Good night, unnie."

"Good night, nguya."

"Talk to you tomorrow."

"Hahaha. I will! Bye nguya!"

Call Disconnected.

"Such a cute voice."
