"Job well done, team! Cheers!" I lifted up my bottle of beer and have a toss with my employees. Nasa bar kami, may kaunting celebration kasi kami dahil sa na-close naming deal. It is the biggest deal so far and we worked so hard for it kaya naman masaya talaga ako so eto, niyaya ko silang magcelebrate. I'll also give them a bonus for their hard work aside from this celebration. Good thing it's Friday so we can enjoy the night.
"Congratulations, Sir Josh!" pagpuri sa akin ng team.
Without them, I couldn't have made it. See when you and your team work together, success is guaranteed."What's up, dude!" napalingon ako ng may magsalita sa likod ko. Pagkaharap ko, nakita ko si Eric na malaki ang ngiti, offering a bro hug. "Wow. You closed your biggest deal. You're the man!" sabi niya at nagfist bump kami at nagtawanan.
"It's not just me, you should greet my team too." sabay tawa ko. I also invited the boys, madalang nalang kaming magkita-kita dahil sa trabaho at kanya-kanyang pamilya.
Maya-maya'y dumating naman si Mark. Remember him? We're cool, actually years ago pa. Asawa niya si Alison and they have a beautiful daughter. Who happens to be the bestfriend of my precious daughter.
"Bro!" katulad ng kay Eric ay nag-bro hug din kami. Tapos sila din. "Ikaw na ata ang most successful businessman of the town. Baka naman di mo na kami pansinin nyan?" pabiro niyang sabi na ikinatawa naming tatlo."Shut the fuck up." tawa ko.
Naramdaman ko ang pag-vibrate ng cellphone ko kaya naman kinuha ko 'yon agad. Aliyah's calling me. Oh hell no! I forgot to tell her were having a celebration. She still doesn't know that I closed the deal. I didn't even tell her that it is today. Right after the signing kasi ay dumiretso agad kami dito. I didn't have a chance to text her para mag-paalam.
I excused myself and immediately answered her call.
"Hey, honey?"
"Hey. Come home early, okay?" paalala niya. Oh shit, did she prepare a dinner? Aliyah doesn't like it when her efforts were not appreciated. Not that I ignored any of her efforts before.
"Uhm, may celebration kasi kami so.. I'll try--" hindi ko pa natatapos ang sasabihin ko ng bigla siyang suminghal."Celebration or just boys night out? Is there anything I need to know?" her voice is so low, like she's just containing herself.
"Honey, congratulate me first before nagging, please?"
"Congratulate you for what, Mr. Castillo?" mataray na tanong niya. Hula ko eh nakapamewang nanaman siya at nakataas ang kilay. She looks so sexy when she do that. I wonder what she looks like right now. Parang gusto ko na umuwi, namimiss ko na siya.
"We've closed the deal!" masayang sabi ko.
"What deal?" there was a pause, "The deal with CEA Inc.?" mukhang natuwa naman siya sa kabilang linya.
"Yes. That's why we have this mini celebration. Uh... this is fine right? I just want to treat my employees for a job well done." nag-aalangan kong tanong. Actually, hindi naman siya tumututol sa mga ganito. Pero gusto ko lang siyang tanungin, baka kasi gusto niya na akong pauwiin diba? Maybe she wants us to make love instead of this. Our own kind of celebration. Kidding!
"Uhm 'kay, just don't get too drunk, huh, mister? And... no girls policy, alright?) parang si Brianna ako kung kausapin at paalalahanan niya.
"Yes, mommy." I mimicked Bree's voice then chuckled, I heard her chuckled too.
"Alright, then. Take care honey, I love you."
"I love you too. Forever."
"Go and enjoy. Remember, you're married!" Pahabol niya pa then the line went off.
