The Life Note At A Time

Kabanata 19

Ngumiti ako nang lumapit sya sa akin. Tumayo narin ako saka nagsalita.

"Marcus, Long time no see." masayang sambit ko. He smiled to me saka nagsalita.

"What are you doing here?" he asked then pushed his tongue inside his cheeks.

"Uh, I'm waiting for sir Paul."

"Oh, Paul Markstowe. Are you working here as a model?" ngumiti ako ng pilit saka tumango.

"Ikaw? Why are you here?"

"My parents own this firm." walang pagyayabang ang tono ng pagkakasabi nya pero parang ganun parin ang rinig ko. Sya pala may ari nitong Building. Mayaman pala talaga. Gusto ko sanang tanungin sina Ian at Iyah since magpinsan sila kaso nakita ko na si sir Paul papalapit sa gawi namin.

"Marcus, why are you here, dear?"

"Moms said that I will have an internship here." he look at me swiftly tgen back to sir Paul.

"Ah, yeah. I'll ask Cheska to assist you." sir Paul said. Lumapit sya sakin saka tumingin ulit kay Marcus. "Please, excuse us."

Pumunta kami sa third floor at dumeretso sa malaking opisina. Nanlaki ang mata ko nang makita si Miss Samantha Gozon. She smiled on me saka tumayo. Kinakabahang ngumiti ako pabalik sa kanya.

"You must be Gill Samuel?" nakakaintimidate naman ang ganda ng ngiti nya.

"Yes." sagot ko. Lumingon sya sa likod ko kung saan kasalukuyang nakatayo si sir Paul.

"Paul, can you wait outside? I wanted us to talked alone." she said in a nice way. Sir Paul just nodded then walk towards the door and got outside. Humarap ako kay Miss Samantha na kasalukuyang nakaupo sa swivel chair nito.

"Be comfortable, and please, sit here." tinuro nya ang upuan sa harap nya kaya lumapit ako roon saka umupo."Uh, Gill. Is there something that you want to do besides modelling?"

"Uhm, I think I should focus on my studies." she let out a sighed before smiling again.

"I guess, you don't know about our firm." ngumiti lang ako ng pilit sa kanya. "I'll be straight to the point. I won't accept you to be our model."

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi nya. What? Anong bang pinagsasabi nya? Sir Paul clearly offered me to become a model.

"What do you mean?" she chuckled at my reaction saka yumuko sa table at kinuha ang papel at inabot sa akin. Nagtataka man ay kiunuha ko parin ito saka tumingin ulit sa kanya.

"I want you to be my Artist. You heard it right? The contract you just signed yesterday was fake. And that paper that your holding right now is the real contract."

Matagal akong tumitig sa papel na hawak ko saka prinoseso lahat ng sinabi nya. She must be kidding me. Why would I?

"Miss, what ever your intention is I won't accept it." ngumiti ako ng pilit saka tumayo. Tumalikod ako saka nagsimulang maglakad.

"I'm just trying to help here," huminto ako saka humarap sa kanya. Naging seryoso ang mukha nya. "I know your background matter. Your dad taught you how to sing and write. But now, you don't want to write again, because of your father? Gill, hindi titigil ang mundo dahil lang sa maling nagawa ng isang tao. Wake up, you need this for your brother and I know that it's hard to let go all the pain inside you. So please, I'm begging you. Signed this contact and trust me."

After she said that. I actually signed the contract. Funny right, I trusted those people's that I didn’t even know. Nalaman ko rin na magkapatid pala si Samantha at Marcus.
