Hommes At Your Service

Chapter 4

MOLY

Tumingin ako kay ate Sara kung tama ba yung narinig ko, ganun din reaction niya. She was stunned. Hindi namin like ever narinig na may ganung company. "At your...what?" baka kasi mali lang yung narinig ko.

"Hommes At Your Service." Ulit ni Mr. Henney a.k.a Boss.

Hommes?

French ng men yun ah. Does it mean Men At Your Service?

"We are located at the Westside city kaya you never heard about us. Well you see, our company offers services. With our 1st year anniversary, the services of our agents are free ku-" naputol ang sasabihin ni Mr. Henney kasi tumayo na ako ang lumapit kay ate Sara. "I'm sorry pero mali yata itong napasukan namin." Hinila ko si ate para makaalis na agad kami. Malapit na ako sa pinto nang biglang humarang yung announcer. What the heck!!!

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago ko sila bulyawan or kung hindi tatalab baka gamitin ko na ang pepper spray.

"I think you got the wrong idea.." narining ko si Mr. Henney.

~~~~~~~

Nakatingin kami ngayon sa isang projector where may power point presentation itong si Boss. Kamuntik ko na talagang gamitin ang pepper spray kanina kaya lang pinigilan ako ni ate Sara. We need to hear their explanations daw. Naglagay naman ang secretary ni boss ng dalawang coffee sa table. I signaled ate Sara na hwag ng inumin yun baka may nilagay pa sila, mas okay na yung sigurado.

So this is what I understood.

HOMMES AT YOUR SERVICE Company (HAYS) offers services like: car services (kung sira kotse mo), driving services (need a driver?), cleaning services (kahit buong bahay pa) and babysitting services (they're good with kids too) hindi yung service na iniisip ko daw (the illegal one). Doon lang umiikot ang trabaho ng mga staffs/agents nila who are mostly males kaya ito Hommes. Well, cleaning and babysitting doesn't sound masculine pero yun ang mostly request ng mga clients sa Westside city.

Clients have two options:

1 day service kung saan isang tawag lang pupuntahan agad sila ng mga agents, under nito ang Driving and Car Services.

Days services kung saan kailangan ma-interview muna ang client. Under naman nito ang Cleaning and Babysitting. The maximum days of their services are no longer than a week, hindi pwede ang extension of days kung kaya kailangan matapos ng mga agents ang trabaho on a specified time.

Twice in a month lang pwede ma-avail ang service nila per client dahil madami silang costumers at para na rin makaiwas sa gulo sa ibang company.

May mga rules and regulations na kailangang sundin:

a. No over work load para sa agents.

b. Using the agents for indecent and illegal acts are prohibited.

c. No any form of harassment of agents.

Kung napatunayan na nagkasala ang client, terminated ang contract at pagbabayarin ng multa or worse makukulong. Gusto ni Mr. Henney na maprotektahan din daw ang mga staffs niya.

Hindi pa rin ako nakukumbinsi. "Kung legit ang business niyo why are you using-sorry for the word- stupid game? Kilala naman pala kayo eh di sana gumamit kayo ng proper way to celebrate your anniversary. Or whatsoever." Pipigilan pa sana ako ni ate Sara pero alam niya kung pano gumana itong bibig ko. Hana forgot to tell you, I'm the most frank sa aming apat. "Anyone would think differently nung sinabi niyong free ang services ng mga agents and when I say differently, yun yung illegal act. And we never heard Westside city having this kind of business."
