"Thank you for trusting us, Mr. and Mrs. Ortez."
Ngumiti ako ng bahagya sa magasawang nagbigay ng panibaging project saakin. It was nice to know that I'd be the one building they're dreamhouse.
My Dad has been running this company and is planning to hand it over once he can't take care of it. Not that gusto ko nang mamatay ang Dad ko but I was so excited to have a company runned by me alone.
"Engr. Vermiento! Tangina mo!" My sister shouted at me and slammed the door when she swung it open.
Ang aga-aga naman nitong bruha.
"Ano na naman," bungad ko sakanya. "And can you have manners?"
"Oh I'm sorry Engr. Vermiento, but for Pete's sake I can't!" Galit na galit siya saakin na kala mo naman ay pumatay ako.
"Can you like chill? Do you want me to give you halo-halo so you can calm down na?" I chuckled nerviously as she looked at me with bloodshot eyes.
"Your last client blammed me for your architect's fucking fault!" She shouted.
Walang pakialam niyang ibinagsak saakin ang folder sa desk ko. I reached it while Jennie was busy pacing around. How can this happen? Did the company lawyer not gave a damn?
"So, may I ask why?"
She stopped pacing around and looked at me like she was about to stab me.
"Mali ang proposal niya. The client asked for a modern style but look at the sketch!"
Napatingin ako muli sa ibinigay niyang design proposal.
It looked like Bonifacio's mansion with a little dash of the future. The coloring didn't match any of the rooms. I didn't know whether to laugh or what. Feeling ko ay nagdedesign lang ata sa Sims 'yon.
"Well then gagawa ulit ng panibago," I excused. "I'll talk to our company layer or dad about this-"
"Panibago? Bro, this is the 3rd proposal!" She exclaimed.
3rd!?
"How? I barely knew her design proposal."
"Your architect is doing a reckless job in the company, Engr. Vermiento," 'pag eexagurate niya. "This should be the last day I'll see her or else I'll fire her without your permission!"
She went out of my office. Napaisip tuloy ako kung saan naman ako kukuha ng architect na panibago. I don't even know any architect in my friends list.
I calmed down. Tinawagan ko si Dad and informed him about everything. He said that he'll email someone. Napamasahe nalang ako ng ulo and scrolled though social media. Not long after, my Dad called me back. Saying that he has hired someone who is a Master of Architecture.
"Wow! How did you did that so fast?" I chuckled.
[I have my ways, son. She'll be attending tomorrow.] He explained.
"No interviews?"
I heard my dad's sarcastic laugh on the other line. [I already interviewed her awhile back,] sagot ni Dad. [I knew your Archi was going to mess this project.]
Knew huh, e'di wow Dad.
"Buti nalang mataas ang degree niya ah," I scoffed.
I was taken aback from her degree, excuse me! Kung sino man siya, she can be my wife. Kung papalarin mang babae. I played with my pen.
[You might know her actually,] my father chuckled yet again at the other line.
Napaayos ako ng upo and felt my blood rushing up as I heard what he said.
No..
"Do you mean.."
After so many years, tomorrow will be the first ever again.
[One and only,] he laughed.
Oh. My. Balls.
Napatayo ako sa halong emosyon na naramdaman ko. How am I suppose to greet her? Get along with her? After all these years, tomorrow is finally yet again. If I knew that would happen, I should've fired that architect a long time ago if I don't have sympathy.
Get ready, Jhaycent. This is gonna be one hell of a ride.
