Chapter 34

After two years.

"Hey, Chef Vien!" Joe greet me in the locker room.

"Oh Joe! What are you doing here?" She is now a journalist. I'm happy for her.

"Visiting you!" She hugged me.

"How sweet of you, Joe." I tapped her back. Kumalas na rin siya sa yakap.

"Sorry, i got busy this fast few months." She look guilty.

"It's okay, i understand."

"Anyway, how's life?" She laugh.

"Good, same when the last time you visit me. Sometimes we go night out." I laugh too.

"Chef Anni?"

"Yeah."

Nang nakaalis na si Joe ay nagpalit na ako. I bun my long hair, put my hair net and chef's hat. I smile. Happy because i'm doing my dream now. Nagtungo na ako sa kitchen area.

"Chef Vien Liza!" Anni called me teasingly, she know how i hate it when she call me that way. Except the others. I just roll my eyes at her. She laughs.

"Too early Chef Anni, huh. Chef of the year." I tease her back making her stop laughing. We have the same schedule, but she always arrive first.

"Whatever Chef Vien, let's just fucking work our fcking big sexy asses off." It was almost a whisper. Baka kasi marinig ng head chef. Lagot na. Baka sabihin puro dalfal.

Nagsimula na rin kaming magtrabaho ni Anni, madalas magkatabi kami. Wala naman sumisita. Maayos naman ang aming trabaho. Hindi namin pinababayaan.

"Vien, can you hand me the spatula?" Kinuha ko iyon sa kaliwa ko at binigay kay Anni. "Thanks,"

Hinahalo ko ang nilulutong sauce. I scoop a little and taste it. I add some pepper, for more flavor.

Nang magtanghali, may break kami ni Anni at iba pa. Kumain kami sa isang room. Doon kumakain ang mga empleyado dito, kapag break. Nakaupo kami sa pang-apat-an na upuan. At nagsimula ng kumain.

"Can i join you ladies? If you don't mind." Napabaling kamii sa lalaking iyon. Iningusan lang ito ni Anni. Natawa naman ako. Tumabi ito kay Anni.

"Bakit dito ka kumakain?" Tanong ko kay Chris.

"Bawal ba?" Natatawa nitong tanong.

"Hindi,"

"Tsk, namiss ko lang kayo." At sumubo na ito ng steak.

"Wow, grabe. Araw-araw tayong nakikita Sir Chris." Panunuya ko sa kanya.

"Wag mo nga akong tawaging Sir." Inis na sabi nito. Inirapan ko lang at kumain na. Baka maubos ang break time ko ng hindi nakakakain.

"Hey, guys! Stop talking Other language. I cannot understand you. I hate you two!" Inis na sabi ni Anni. Natawa lang kaming dalawa ni Chris. She galred at us.

Pagtapos ng break ay nagtubgo na kami ni Anni ulit sa kitchen area. Si Chris naman ay sa office niya daw. Kala mo naman sobrang busy.
