Mr. Torpe meets Ms. Mahiyain Book 2 (A Promise To Keep)

Chapter 5

*Ting*

Uy may nag message sa akin.
Sino kaya ito.

Kinuha ni Jayeanne ang cellphone sa ibabaw ng study table niya. She open it and to her surprise. An unexpectd person na ngayon eh nagpaparamdam sa kanya.

Instead of texting him back. Tinawagan niya ito.

In just three rings. He answer his phone.

Caller :"Hello......."

At first, she was hesitant. Something is holding her back to answer. But still......

Jay :"Oh! Hi....(silence)... kumusta na? Anong masamang hangin at naalala mong i-text ako. Wait lang...Paano mo nalaman ang number ko?"

Caller :"Yun ba? Wala lang, nangangamusta lang. Sister mo ang nagbigay ng bago mong number. Pinilit ko talaga siya na ibigay sa akin. Nakita ko pala siya sa mall last week. Kasama ko yung Mommy ko. I saw her and I told my mom that I know her. Nung medyo alanganin pa akong lapitan pero sure akong siya yun. Then, tinanong kita sa kanya and ask for your number. Ayun binigay niya...." tuloy-tuloy niyang kwento.

Jay :"Ganun?!!"while smiling.

Caller :"Ganun nga."

Jay :"How are you? Anong pinagkakaabalahan natin ngayon?"

Caller :"Just started my own business. Medyo suwerte lang. My lucky charm kasi ako eh".

Jay :"Anong business mo?".

Caller :"It's a hardware business.  And then supplier din ako. Ikaw?"

Jay :"Well,..kapapasok ko lang sa company na pinapasukan ko.  Mga 6 months pa lang ako. Sa accounting department ako na assign."

Caller :"Maganda naman pala trabaho mo. Pero sa mga first timer medyo mahirap mag adjust di ba?"

Jay :"Oo nga eh. Pero okay lang.  Sa ngayon madali na yung trabaho ko naka adjust na rin. At para may magawa ka para sa akin. Tulungan mo na lang akong magdasal na makapasa ako sa training for promotion."

Caller :"Talaga!!...In that case, matutulungan kita diyan.  Your very much welcome.

Jay :"Baka busy ka. Nakakaabala na yata ako sa'yo."

Caller :"Hindi naman. I just want to say Hi to you. And to know what you up to. I'm glad that you are starting your own career now. Goodluck. Pasensiya na rin sa istorbo."

Jay :"No.. it's okay.  Matagal tagal na rin naman akong walang balita sa'yo eh. So, bye bye for now.  Next time just call me..... Anytime."

Caller :"Okay. Bye.. ingat."

Jay :"Bye"

She press the end call and deeply sigh. It brings back the memories that she wanted to forget.

Siguro di natin talaga matatalikuran ang nakaraan.  Habang buhay na natin itong magiging anino.  Pero dapat din gawing inspirasyon at aral sa buhay. Dapat lang sigurong ganun na lang. Hanggang maging ito'y lumipas na.

It's sunday, kaya walang pasok.  Pahinga at pagliligpit time. Spending time with her family is the best thing she can give. Even if two days lang ang nilalagi nito ng matagal sa bahay nila. Simula ng magtrabaho siya.

Pero at the back of her mind.  There's something that she worry about. Her training. What if she fail.

His supervisor. He's the one who recommended her to their superiors. She's worried that she cannot fulfill what they are expecting to her.

There are so many if's.

What will I do?............
