Chapter 31

Pagkadating ko sa Restaurant ay nagpalit agad ako at pumasok sa Kitchen. I started working.

I chopped, cutted, and do plating and garnishes. I was in the middle of cutting beef, when suddenly, i feel dizziness. Fuck! Not now.

"Are you, okay?" Chef Anni asked me, i just nodded a little.

Nagpatuloy naman kami sa ginagawa namin. I think i can still manage. Natapos na ako sa ginagawa ko kaya, garnish na lang ang kulang. Then i feel dizzeness again, but now i can't take it.
Nilalamig na rin ako ng todo. Napahawak ang kaliwa kong kamay sa sentido ko at ang kanan naman ay napatuon sa sink.

"Are you really okay?" Nagaalalang tanong ni Chef Anni.

"It's cold, i feel dizzy." I was trying to maintain my balance, i felt like my knees falling cause of tiredness.

She put the back of her hand in my forehead. "You have a fever." She worriedly said.

"I can still work, i'm okay." Pinilit ko siyang nginitian kahit pumi

intig na ang ulo ko sa hilo.

"No, you better rest. Don't push yourself, you might can't really work the next days. I'll do your job, please, go to our Big boss." Hinawakan niya ako sa balikat, i sighed.

"Okay, i think you're right."

"Yeah.. yeah go, ask consent." Nginitian niya ako.

"Thank you, Anni."

"Take care," my friend said before i leave.

Dahan-dahan akong naglalakad papunta sa office, all i just wanted is to rest. Nanghihina na ako. Nang makarating ay kumatok ako. Matagal bago may sumagot. Nilalamig na ako.
I hugged myself.

"Come in," sagot nito.

Dahan-dahan kong pinihit ang pinto. At pumasok doon.

"Oh, Ms. Mendez.." baling nito sakin. Seems like he was busy kaya't matagal siyang sumagot noong kumakatok ako.
Maraming papers sa sa lamesa niya.

"Boss, i think i can't work today." Pakiramdam ko ay bibigay na ang katawan ko. Papikit-pikit na rin ang mata ko habang yakap ang sarili ko.

"Why? Are you okay?" He asked.

But before i could answer, my body fall on the floor. I can't take it any more. I'm losing my consciousness.

"Hey.. hey" i felt someone hold the back of my head.

Then, someone carrying me. It's so cold, i tried to hug the person who carrying me.

"Where do you live?" A deep baritone voice ask me.

When i already answer him, i lost my consciousness.

I woke up in my bed wearing my pajamas. What the hell?

Pinipilig ko ang ulo ko sa pagkahilo ng bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ko. Halos mapalundag ako.

"Hey.." what is he doing here?

"Uh.. boss, what are you doing here?" Nagtatakang tanong ko. Pano ako nakauwi? Oh my godness..

"You lost your consciousness, i was the one who bring you here.." may dala siya ng tray. Pinatong niya ito sa kama.

"Thank you. You can go now, boss, i know you're busy." Sabi ko rito at umupo naman ako sa kama.

"Eat up, you need it." Inilapit pa nito sa akin yung tray. Kinuha ko ito.
