"H-ha?" I asked with an utter confusion in my voice.

Hindi ako bingi, sadyang hindi lang ako makapaniwala sa narinig ko.

Here I am still staring incredibly on the guy in front of me. His smile was still flashed on his manly but charming face.

Siguro kung hindi ko pa alam na Clarhens Crisostomo ang pangalan nito, hindi ko muna ipapasintabi ang tila paghanga ko sa appearance nya. He was quite a man, yung tipong makakatanngap ng sandamakmak ng second glances ng mga tao kapag iginala mo sa isang mall.

But that's another issue.

Right now I just have witnessed na ang lalakeng kaharap ko ay kapangalan lang naman ng lalakeng kinamumuhian ko but at the same time, iniintay kong makita muli pagkalipas ng mahabang panahon.

I get back with my senses and lift my head to face him.

"Now,miss.." he took my resume and posed for a while when he noticed na medyo gusot ito. Naalala ko nanaaman na ito yung brown na envelope na pinulot nya kanina. Well, alam kong medyo hindi presentable yung itsura ng resume ko dahil narin sa mga pinagdaanan namin ni Jheene kanina kakahanap sa meeting place namin kanina. Pero kasama na dun ang pagbunggo nya sakin kaya mas nadagdagan ang gusot nito.

Napangiti sya sandali bago tuluyang ilabas ang laman nito at titigan ang resume ko.

Pero pansin kong tila nagbago ang expressions ng mukha nya habang binabasa ang profile ko.

"You wanted to be our concept writer?"

I nod.

Then a silent for a brief moment had passed.

Hindi mapakali ang mga kamay ko at hindi ko rin alam kung saan ako titingin. Tama si Jheene, napaka intense dito sa loob.

Napapitlag ako nang ibaba nya yung papel na hawak nya. "So tell me,"

He placed his both arms on the top of his table with his fingers intertwined together while still looking at me.

"—why should I hire you?" there his deep sea coloured eyes still staring at mine.

"H-ha? a-ah, kasi po, sir. Ahm, a-ano.." Oh, no. Not again, Magda!

Pinanliitan nya ko ng mga mata na tila lalo pang nakadagdag sa kaba ko.

He scanned me intensely.

I tightly hold my hands together under the table. I breathe deeply for several times already!

"Ano kamo? Pangarap mong maging script writer? Magdalene,you think you're even capable of that?"

Suddenly, I heard my mom's voice and what she had said the day when I told her about my plans when I get old enough.

You see, isa sa mga hindi naniniwala sakin in the first place ay ang sarili kong mga magulang.

I shoot him back with a stare strong enough as his.

"Because I know I am capable of that,sir." I answered.

"And what specifically are you capable of?"

Natigilan ako. Hindi ba obvious?Syempre I am referring it to the position I am applying on!

I narrowed my eyebrows, "p-pardon me?"

"The job. What are the things you are capable of in this field concerning the position you are entering?"
