Ilang segundo kami tahimik bago siya bumuntong-hininga, "Well, at least you're different. I look forward to seeing your future achievements, mister Oscala."
Sunod na tumayo si sir at ipinaaabot ang aking kamay, "I-I got the job?"
"Not good enough for 'ya? Well, that's a first. We'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" tanong niya.
"Y-yes! Yes! Of course!" tugon ko't nakipagkamayan ako sa kanya.
Matapos nito ay, "Qal must be waiting for you outside. You should head out now. Your schedule will be sent by email. Don't worry, we have your basic info now. Tomorrow will be your medical exam but that's for the morning. See you tomorrow."
Tumango ako't nagpaalam na tsaka umalis ng opisina, bumungad sa akin si Qal paglabas ko at sinabi, "I think it went well?"
"Got the job."
"Really? Great! C'mon, lunch's on me. Let's head to the cafeteria. I'll give you a tour after."

Nakarating kami sa cafeteria at may ilang tao na rin kaming nakasalubong.
"Qal!" agad na may bumungad mula sa gilid ang isang matangkad na lalake.
"New guy?"
"Yeah, he just passed."
"Congrats, dude. Tyler by the way." at nakipagkamayan ako sa kanya matapos tumango, "Um-- Vincent."
"Nice to meet you, Vincent. You're gonna love it here."
"Same here."
"Well, I should be going. Oh and uh, Qal, since he's new. You know what's coming for him, yeah?" tanong niya.
"... Hm? Oh, of course." sagot ni Qal na nag-iwan sa akin ng pagdududa't pagiging curious sa kung ano man ito.
Nang umalis si Tyler ay kaonting lakad pa at, "Hi, Qal. The regular?" tanong ng babae na naka-hairnet.
