"Chryss.. Hug him for me. Please."

"Ate Ville!"

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon. I woke up with a heavy breath. Para akong pinangapusan ng hininga. I'm feeling disoriented and I'm not familiar with the place. Where am I?

I circled my hazy gaze and I saw the painted and well furnished cream wall.

Oh! I'm finally here! Nagtatrabaho nga pala ako. I'm already starting my mission.

Napahiga akong muli nang maalala ang panaginip. My dream seems so vivid. Akala ko, nandito siya.. Malapit lang siya pero hindi ko siya maabot.

I felt a squeezed in my heart. But I got to get my ass off my bed. I have a work. Bago pa lang ako kaya hindi dapat ako magpakatamad. Baka masesante pa ako agad. That would be epic since I am just starting.

Matapos ayusin ang sarili ay lumabas na ako at tumungo sa kusina. Baka nandoon na sila Manang. Dapat kasi ay inagahan ko ang paggising. Alas -siyete na nang umaga. Sa pagka-kaalam ko ay dapat alas-cinco gising na ang kasambahay.

We have a different kitchen apart from the one used by them. What they used is more wider and spacious enough to accomodate the different sets of glasswares, eating utensils, plates and some things for cooking. The backsplash and exposed beams gives characteristic and style for the kitchen. Even the wide marble island counter and the creamy-white color of the cabinets are pleasing in the eyes.

I can't say nothing bad with the design of this mansion. It's well planned and executed. Sabagay, they have the money and resources.

Ang main kitchen ang ginagamit daw ni Ma'am Navi at minsan ni Senechov. Which I thought is ridiculous. Senechov can cook?

Anyways, we use the dirty kitchen, it's a little bit smaller than the main but still spacious. And it's far from being dirty.

"O, Kris, nandiyan ka na pala. Halika, mag-almusal ka muna. Pagkatapos ay magdilig ka muna ng halaman sa hardin dahil hindi pa gising si baby Santi. Mamaya pa 'yan gigising ng alas-diyes ngayong walang pasok." Pag-aya sa akin ni Manang.

I looked at the breakfast and I saw fried rice, sunny side up eggs, hotdog and dried fish. It looks tasty. Buti na lang at kahit papaano pala'y maayos ang pagtrato dito sa mga kasambahay. We can eat whenever we want. At wala ring nagmamando maliban kay Manang Minda.

I've heard quiet a lot of stories from helpers that are being abused in work by their employers. Laganap iyon ngayon lalo na't maraming social media outlets. Workers are able to tell all their hardships and a lot are aware of it now.

"Nasaan po sila Shiela?"

"Nandoon at naglilinis ng pool kasama si Nila. Siya iyong isa pa naming kasama dito. Hindi ka pa pala naipapakilala sa kanya, ano? Hayaan mo at mamaya."

She smiled at me amiably and I can't help but be thankful with her. I saw a lot of dramas and I thought I would experience being nagged by my co-helpers. Well, exaggerated lang talaga ang mga palabas ngayon. It's sometimes frustrating to watch.

"Kailangan nating maglinis kasi di ba'y pupunta si Senyora. Aba'y mas mabuti nang maayos ang bahay."

When in fact it's already clean and fabulous enough. Wala na namang kailangang linisan pa sa bahay na ito. Pero ganoon talaga yata ang mga mayayaman. Ang iba pa nga'y takot kahit sa kaunting alikabok.

I salute Manang Minda. She's so hardworking. Naaalala ko sa kanya si Nanay na walang pagod kung magtrabaho. Nalulungkot ako sa isiping umiiyak pa rin siya hanggang ngayon.
