Chapter 41

I've been here for weeks pero nananatili lang akong nakatengga.

I can't be like this forever. I have to do something.

The firm is still under construction. Ang dalawang palapag na opisinang ipinatatayo ay nasa proseso parin.

Habang tinatapos iyon ay kailangan ko rin humanap ng trabaho kahit pansamantala. Ayoko namang naghihintay lang ako dito.

"So what's your plan now?" Tanong ni Vivian.

"Hmm. Is the hospital you're working right now in need of accountants?"

Vivian started working on a hospital just few days ago. Saka ko lang naisip na kailangan ko rin ng trabaho nung narealize kong nakakatamad pala ang walang ginagawa. I'm bored and all.

"I don't know. Fix your documents, pahahanapan kita sa mga colleagues ko."

As usual, mother-hen nanaman siya. Not that I'm complaining though.

Katulad nga ng sinabi ni Viv, ni-refer ako ng kakilala niya sa iba't-ibang kompanya. I can actually do it by myself.

Pero if there's someone who volunteered to help, why not grab it. Ayoko namang pahirapan ang sarili ko para humanap pa ng mga kompanyang papasukan ko.

Out of all the lists of companies that was given to me, one name has made my heart skip a beat.

RCEC.

"Viv." Tawag ko sa naglulutong si Vivian habang hindi parin inaalis ang tingin sa papel na hanap ko.

"What?" She asked without facing me.

"My documents were sent to all of these firms?" Halos pahisterya kong tanong.

"Yes. Why?" Nilingon niya ako. "Nakapili ka na ba ng gusto mo? You should do background check para makapagdecide ka kung alin sa mga yan ang prefer mo. Your credentials are great kaya wala namang proproblemahin sayo." She explained.

"You think?" Nagtaas ako ng kilay at pilit itinatago ang pagka-excite sa boses.

"Of course. You graduated abroad, consistent dean's lister, and a board passer. What could possibly be wrong about you?" Sagot niya.

I rolled my eyes. Baka naman lumaki ang ulo ko niyan.

My file was sent last week, kung totoo nga ang sinasabi ni Viv, someone must've emailed me already.

I quickly went upstairs and checked my emails.

I smirked and then snapped my fingers. "Bingo."

Muli akong bumaba para makausap si Vivian sa decision ko.

"May napili na ako." I started and sat on the stool.

"O? Ang bilis naman. Ano yun"?

"RCEC." Nakangiting sambit ko habang tinititigang muli ang mga listahan.

She eyed me curiously and walked towards me. Hinablot niya ang papel na hawak ko at tinignan roon ang tinutukoy ko.

"What are you planning?" Nagtaas siya ng kilay.

"What do you mean? Find a job, right?" I smiled cutely then made a puppy eyes.

"Don't 'find a job' me Zandria Lucielle. I'm not dumb." She rolled her eyes. "This is his, isn't it?" She added.

Gumuhit ang kunyaring pagkalito sa ekspresyon ko. "Who?"

"Rivero Civil Engineering, Construction. Really Elle, really?" Natawa ako nang banggitin niya ito ng buo.
