THE SHIFTING :
Pauwi na kami ni Serina at kasalukuyan kami ngayong naglalakad dito sa parking lot nang maalala ko ang nais kong itanong sa kanya.
"Uhmm.. Serina, I have something to ask. " napatingin sya sakin saglit bago nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. Hindi sya sumagot sa halip ay tinanguan nya lang ako.
"Kasi kanina, Sidd got into my office and may nabanggit sya na fina-familiarize nya yung buong company. What does he mean by that? " we both hop inside the car when we reach it. Sa driver's seat sya pumasok at ako naman sa passenger seat, tinatamad kasi akong mag-drive ngayon kaya sya muna ang pinatoka ko.
"Hindi ka ba nakinig kanina?.....O baka naman....... lutang ka na naman?" she said as she locking her seatbelt. I did not answer for a second because I don't know what to alibi knowing she's right. Ayoko namang aminin na lutang na naman ako kanina kasi baka tuluyan na nya akong batukan upang magising sa katotohanan.
"H-Huh!?? O-Of course..... n-not. Nakinig ako kanina it's just t-that.. Hindi ko lang talaga n-naintindihan yung pinag-usapan n-nila." pautal-utal kong sambit. I hope she believes to my alibi. I'm really a big LIAR. She wasn't able to look at me for she is now driving. But I saw that she rolled her eyes in the air.
"And you said na pumunta si Sidd sa office mo!? As in yung anak ni Mr. Harrison? Gosh! Breccia, careful he's the ultimate playboy." She warned me but the h*ll I care!? First impression ko pa lang sa kanya alam ko na yun noh, matalas ang pang-amoy ko sa mga ganyang klase ng lalaki noh..
"I know right, and please.. Let's not talk about him!? He's not our main topic just he's part of it." I said.
"Okay fine.. Ganito kasi yun.. " umayos ako ng pagkakaupo dahil parang may kaba na unti-unting bumubuo sa aking dibdib. Gosh! Ano naman ba kasi ang pakulo ng mga businessman na yun.
"Dad and his other major investors have already decided to their last meeting na magkakaroon ng shifting ang mga anak nila na soon-to-be ay magpapatakbo ng company nila." My eyebrow arch automatically. Pa'nong shifting?... Don't tell me!?
"Meaning to say, magkakaroon ng paglilipat na magaganap between sa kanilang mga 'anakis'. For example na lang yung kay Sidd. Sya ang na-assign sa'ting company. He will be working at our company and at the same time he will be observing our company... Like, pa'no kumita ang ating company!?, pa'no mamalakad ang bawat leaders ng ating kompanya!? And if our company is wealthy enough!?... Just like that." mahabang paliwanag ni Serina na sya namang nakapag-pagulat sakin. I didn't able to speak a word for awhile. Bakit pa?.. Argh!!
"So, ibig-sabihin!? Araw-araw din natin syang makikita at makakasama sa company?" Hindi sa ayaw ko syang makasama its just that, ayaw ko lang talaga sa mga lalaking flirt and that's how I define him.
"Nope, like I have said lahat magkakaroon ng shifting, no exception. So, meaning to say.......... " she said as she look at me for a second. Oo nga pala noh, no exception ibig sabihin lahat ng mga anak nila makikishift.
