#MSeries2Daddy was already fuming mad when we arrived at home that night. Aniya'y may nag E-mail raw sa kanya na taga SC. at sinabihang direkta akong etext o kaya tawagan para makipag meet up kaagad ng personal. Ngayong hindi ko nacheck ang cellphone kahapon ay hindi ko nakita ang text roon.
"This is what I've been waiting for for years. Kapag ito nawala pa hindi ko na alam kung saan kita ilalagay, Martina."banta ni daddy sa gabing iyon bago umakyat sa kwarto niya.
Unknown number:
Good morning!
This is from SC, we would like to see you personally in regards with our plan investment. At exactly lunch time at Rebora Cuisine. Thank you!
Basa ko sa text na nanlulumo pa. The meet up was supposedly lunch. Nahilamos ko ang palad at tumayo sa kama para makaligo.
I need to freshen up first before giving them my response. I went to my shower and think of how I should reply. I'll do something about it since dad let me handle it. Ako ang hahanap ng diskarte para reschedule ang meet up na ito. Mahirap na."Can I set another appointment, then?"
I called their company number and asked for another schedule.
"I'll set you another appointment, ma'am. My boss wasn't please about yesterday but I'm sure he'll be glad about rescheduling..."anang sa kabilang linya.
"Thank you! What time is your boss free tomorrow?"
"I'll check his schedule for tomorrow. Can you wait?"
"Yes,yes of course..."
Nawala sandali ang kausap pero bumalik rin agad. "He's free tomorrow at three o'clock, miss. Is it fine?"
"Sure! I'd free my time tomorrow for this appointment. Thank you so much!"
"Alright. You're welcome."and the line went dead.
Huminga akong malalim at lumabas ng kwarto para ibalita kay daddy only to received another laments. Pinilig ko nalang ang ulo at bumaba sa kitchen para makainom ng tubig.
I dressed nicely the next day and went to my office. Sa umaga ay inabala ko ang sarili sa workloads at sinigurado na may tamang lunch para naman sa meet up mamaya. Alas dos ay naghanda na ulit ako at nag ayos sa mukha. I should be atleast ten minutes early para sa ganon ay makabawi. Daddy reminded me about it again. 2:30 ng lumabas ako at nagpaalam na kay Jackie. Saktong pagpasok ko sa elevator ay may tumawag. At instincts ko ang nagsabi na taga SC ito kaya sinagot ko.
"Hello..."
"Hello! If you still remember, this is the company number you called last night. And we've agreed to rescheduled your appointment. Unfortunately, my boss has an emergency meeting right now and he can't come. So, is it okay if we move it later for dinner?"
The woman spoke up with the same voice last night.
"Sure! No problem. Just text me the details of the time."sagot ko.
"I'll text you once my boss is done with his meeting..."
"Alright. Thank you!"
I marched outside the elevator and went back to post. Sinalubong ako ni Jackie ng malaking ngiti.
"May naiwan ka, miss?"
I shook my head and proceed to my office. Hindi naman sayang ang effort ko sa pag aayos at paghihintay sa oras. Ayos lang, Martina nangyayari talaga ang mga ganon sa buhay na ito.
Alas sais nagtext ang taga SC sa oras ng dinner meeting. Inagahan ko na ang pag aayos at nagdasal sa Diyos na sana hindi na maantala ito ngayon. Nakakapagod na maghintay sa totoo lang.
