My Big Boss | Kristel & Yohan Fanfiction

Kabanata 2

Kabanata 2

I fixed my bangs and reach for my guitar. Magsisimula na sana akong tumugtog ulit nang may kumatok sa pinto. Bumukas ito at niluwal ang aking ina.

"Kristel, anak, nagco-cover ka na naman?" Si Mama.

"Ma..." Tumayo ako at nilapitan siya. "Ah.. kumakanta lang ako ma, wala akong balak mag-cover ngayon."

"Mabuti naman. 'Wag mo masyadong ginugugol ang oras mo sa ganyan. Don't put yourself in too much pressure, bata ka pa at marami ka pang pagdadaanan," ani Mama.

Niyakap ko siya. "Mama naman, alam n'yo naman po ito ang gusto ko."

Yes, I'm a hopeful vlogger. I am a youtuber but isn't the famous type of youtuber. I had my own versions of vlog. My video contents mostly were me doing cover songs of my favorite songs. Including beauty vlogs dahil sa iyon din ang mga commercial ko. Sometimes I feature Korean dramas and give reviews on it that would help the viewers decide whether to watch or not to watch the drama. I even cover Korean songs and some were translated into English version.

They kinda supporting me but not to the extent that they are happy with what I am doing. But I won't just give up on this. Lalo nang gusto ko rin maging artista.

Bumitaw kami sa pagyakapan nang tumunog ang doorbell. Ako na mismo ang lumapit at pinagbuksan ang bisita. Nagulat ako nang nagmamadaling pumasok si Kuya Jay sa aming bahay, dumiretso sa kusina at kumuha ng baso, nagsalin at nilagok ng mabilisan ang tubig.

He walk back to our living room and suddenly, he jump off repeatedly and screamed so loud. Pati si Mama ay nagulat rin sa inasta nito.

"Kristel! May bagong offer!" Sigaw ni Kuya Jay.

Hindi na ako nabigyan ng pagkakataon na mag-react. Kaagad akong tinulak ni Kuya Jay sa aking kwarto para makapagbihis at nilisan na ang bahay.

We were entertained by a man in suit. Napagtanto kong sekretarya ito sa ID na sinuot. Nagtungo muna kami sa isang lobby at napag-usapan ang importanteng detalye. Ang sabi ay nangangailangan sila ng magiging modelo ng produkto nila. Iyong beauty products raw. Kaya sinungkaban na ni Kuya Jay ito dahil bukod sa nag-expire na ang isa kong kontrata at hindi na nag-alok pa ng extension, kilala din ito.

They aren't just into beauty products but also an entertainment agency. Kaya karamihan sa mga artista ng kanilang agency ay siyang naging modelo ng beauty products nila. Ngayon lang sila kumuha ng labas sa agency nila dahil na-diskubre nila ako sa vlogs ko, na maraming alam tungkol sa Korea.

When we go to the main office, gray and black colors in combinations dominated its interrior designs. Sa disenyo nito'y nakumpirma ko kung mayaman ang may-ari. There, a man was sitting on the chair facing towards the breathtaking city view against the glass wall.

"Good morning sir. The model for the Face Republic is here." Ani ng sekretarya.

I smile widely and was about to greet as the swivel chair turn slowly, revealing the man behind.

"Dangsi?! " Sabay naming sigaw. You?!

Sa gilid ng mata ko, my manager and his secretary exchange looks too. Kalaunan ay pinalapit niya ang sekretarya sa kanyang gilid, probably to send us out?

I look at Kuya Jay and twitched my lips towards the annoying man's direction, nagtatanong kahit alam na wala itong mai-sasagot. Nagkibit-balikat man si Kuya Jay pero siniko naman ako.

"Umayos ka, Kristel." He whispered.

I turn back my gaze at that arrogant Korean man who happened to be.. a CEO?!

Yohan Kim.

The two nameplate on his office desk printed on both English and Korean words. So that concludes his arrogance and cockiness because he is wealthy and a CEO.

His brows frowned as he talks with his secretary in almost a whisper. I lip my bit to stop it from trembling. With such coincidences that may happen, bakit ito pa? Now I have to lie down and swallow my pride.

Why do we keep bumping into each other? Aigoo.

Mariin siyang pumikit at nagpakawala ng mabibigat na hininga. He put his elbow on the table and places his chin to his laced fingers, his blazing eyes staring at me.

"Are there any other choices aside from her, Roy?" He addresses to his secretary.

Kinuyom ko ang mga kamao ko, nagtitimpi sa kung ano man ang magagawa ko sa kanya. Nilunok ko nga iyong pride ko kanina lang pero ha! Ito siya't nagmamarunong. Akala n'ya tatanggapin ko kaagad ito? Ano siya, sinuswerte?

"Sir, she's the best and would perfectly fit for the product. And has enough knowledge on Korean culture." Said the secretary.

"It doesn't suit her." Aniya na nakadagdag lamang sa inis ko.

"Sir?" Si Kuya Jay. "I am her manager. We already talk with the HR department and according to them, she perfectly fit to endorse the products."

"Oh? But I don't like someone whose mouth speaks ill of me. I can't stand seeing her." He said and smirk.

I cursed under my breath. Yabang. My patience is losing then I freak out. "You know what? We're on the same page!" I left his office.

Doon pa ako nakahinga ng maluwag nang makalabas na kami sa building. I sat into the near bench and inhaling some air to breath. Kuya Jay keeps his pace, making me more annoyed than I have been.

"Magkakilala kayo?"

"No! I just ran into him many times... accidentally!" I retorted.

Pumalakpak si Kuya saka hinawakan ako sa magkabilang balikat. He let me face to him and showed a playful grin.

"It's destiny! Destiny na mapunta ka sa Agency nila! Ito na 'yon--"

"Kuya please.. Iwan mo muna ako," agap ko.

He gave me the space I asked. My mind's too preoccupied and I need to clear off the negativity.

Now, I only hear the birds chirping; rustling around, and the wind's sound swaying along the trees. Somehow, this help me to think appropriately. Sumagi sa isipan ko si Mama. Nadatnan ko siya kagabi sa kwarto niya na nagbibilang sa mga bayarin namin. I know she got a hard time but still manages to show a happy face when she's with me. I want to lessen her burden. I want to help her, my guilty mind says.

Hindi na ako nagdalawang-isip pa. Mabilis akong tumakbo pabalik ng building at dumiretso akong pumasok sa kanyang office. Napatayo siya sa gulat ng madatnan akong parang wala sa huwisyo.

"Sir! Pa.. pasensya na... ha.. pero kailangan ko po talaga ito." Hinihingal kong sabi.

He raises his brows and slowly walks towards me. "Why the sudden change of tune?"

Ang daming pang satsat nito!

"Oo! Hindi kami mayaman kaya po.. kahit ano ay gagawin ko.. Just.. accept me already! Kung ayaw mo ay ipagkakalat ko iyong nangyari sa mall. Na pinapaiyak mo ang girlfriend mo!"

Bahagya siyang napatigil sa pag-hakbang. He tilted his head to the side. Aish! Baka 'di na naman nakaintindi ng tagalog.

"Sige na po.. jebal."

Tuluyan na siyang lumapit sa akin kaya umatras ako ngunit huli na'y nasalo ang likod ko sa pader. Inangat niya ang mga kamay, kinukulong ako sa pader na sinasandalan. My knees wobble but I keep into my senses.  Tumingala ako sa kanya, baluktot na ang ngisi nito ngayon.

"Anything?" He asked in his accent.

"Opo! Kahit ano!" Sagot ko, sa desperadang tono.
