Audrey and Chase (COMPLETED)

Chapter 36 - Second Day

"I can't believe that I'm freaking doing this." I whimpered and the rest of them agreed.

"Oh God. This is really embarrassing." Sydney retorted.

What exactly are we doing anyway?

Nagbibenta kami ng Banana-cue, Kamote-cue at sago't gulaman, dito sa palengke na malapit sa orphanage. Yung iba naman ay malapit sa school nagbenta at yung iba pa ay hindi ko na alam kung saan.

Like what we did yesterday, we woke up around 5AM to prepare. Lahat kami ay walang breakfast dahil sa mga wala na kaming pera. It was a good thing na marami kaming biscuits kaya yun na din ang pinaken at pinabaon namin sa mga bata. And around 6AM ginising ulit namin ang mga bata, pinaliguan sila, binihisan, pinakaen at inihatid sa school. Construction works pa din ang mga tasks ng mga lalaki at pag-alis nila, pinagluto naman kaming mga babae.

And these are the things we cooked earlier. Buti nalang talaga at alam namin ang itsura at lasa ng banana-cue at kamote cue. It was easy for us to make one since marunong naman kami magluto. About the sago't gulaman, one of the staff of the orpahnage helped us in mixing kaya naman okay ang outcome. At madali naman pala syang gawin kaya natandaan namin agad iyon.

Pero hindi doon natapos iyon. Never in my life I imagined that I would be selling things like this.

And as Rachel ordered, yun ang main task namin for the day. Ang mag benta. At yung kikitain namin, kailangan naming paghatiang lima.

Tapos pinadala din samin ang mga gamit pangluto ang everything at ang lahat ng ingredients para daw kapag kinulang, makakagawa pa kami ng bago.

Hindi talaga sa pag-iinarte but, you cannot blame us, okay? HRM nga kami and all pero hindi ito ang trabaho na gusto namin or pinangarap namin. Mas malaking business ang nasa isip namin itayo at i-manage. And hindi din sa pagyayabang but we can afford making one dahil sa mga status namin sa buhay.

"Still, kaya natin 'to right? Para sa mga bata." Ash consoled and we all heaved out a sigh. She's right. This is for our babies.

"So this is what we will do.." Venice trailed off. "Tanggalin na natin ang mga hiya. Yes, hindi tayo sanay but being a vendor is a decent job naman. Kung kaya ng iba, kaya din natin. And you know ano ang advantage natin from the others?" she asked.

"What?" Erin replied.

"Our charms. Mas madaling napapansin ng mga tao ang magaganda at magaganda tayo kaya magiging pansinin tayo." Venice smilingly replied.

"Really, Ven? Advantage? Charms? Parang wala namang maitutulong yang charms na sinasabi mo. Alam kong maganda tayo pero, in what way magagamit yun?" tanong naman ni Sydney.

"Manghahatak tayo ng customer. Not in a literal way, okay? Sweet smile, battling of lashes and sweet words would do." sagot ulit ni Ven at napangiwi kami.

"I'm not sure if I could do that. Para kasing pick-up girl yung dating sakin." I honestly replied and it made them laugh.
