"Good morning, Ma'am and Sir!" Our receptionist happily greeted us as we entered the lobby of our hotel, her name is Miss Pia.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Good morning." I replied and smiled.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Does the hotel had any issues last night?" Kuya Sej asked while texting on his phone.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Wala naman po sir." Quennie answered, our other receptionist.

Hindi muna pumasok si Lianne, may naiwan daw siya sa condo kaya nagpababa muna siya sa tapat ng condo niya. Nainis pa nga si Kuya Sej kasi sayang daw sa oras. Hahaha!
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Kuya Sej and I headed to our own office to get all our works done. Ganito na ang routine ko everyday. Work, Eat, Sleep, Repeat.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Minsan na lang din ako makapagpahinga. Saturday and Sunday kasi madaming guests sa hotel kaya mahirap mag-day off. Pero hindi naman ako nagrereklamo. Honestly, I didn't expect I'll enjoy this kind of routine. This work is really a big help to me to forget all my problems that I left sa Manila.

︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Ma'am Sienna, gusto po kayo kausapin ni Madam." My secretary said when she entered my room holding a wireless telephone. Madam ang tawag ng mga staffs kay Mommy.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Sure, thank you Dea."
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
She left the room and my mom started talking through the phone.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Sienna, can you please check kung maayos pa ang mga utensils sa dining and kitchen area diyan sa hotel? Our head chef told me last week that some plates ay nabasag na and also some of our kitchen utensils went missing."
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Sure, Mom." I replied.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Thank you, darling. Ikaw tinawagan ko kasi busy ang phone ng kuya mo."
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"I'll check it later and I'll call you nalang. By the way, kelan ka po uuwi?" I asked through the phone.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Next week, sweetie. I need to go na. Thank you and take care." and we both hang up.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
That was fast. Umasa akong she'll ask us if we're fine. LOL. As if naman.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Sobrang workaholic na ba ni Kuya na he even missed mom's calls? I laughed.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
My stomach started aching signaling na nagugutom na ako. Late kami nagising kanina kaya hindi kami nakapag-breakfast. Also Kuya Sej kaya I texted him.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Kuya Sungit

Me: Samahan mo 'ko kumain sa baba. Alam kong gutom ka na rin.



After 2 minutes he replied.



Kuya Sungit: I'll finish my morning work first. Mauna ka na.

Me: Sabay na tayo kumain. Bilisan mo, gutom na 'ko. Text me if your done.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Walang akong natanggap na reply. What should I expect pa ba? That's Kuya Sejun. Always. I laughed.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
I signed some papers habang hinihintay ang text ni Kuya when my phone suddenly vibrated.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
1 new message from Asawa ni Sejun.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎  
It's Lianne.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Asawa ni Sejun

Asawa ni Sejun: I'm omw na dyan. Where r u?

Me: Kakain kami ni kuya sa dining.

Asawa ni Sejun: OMG! Derecho nalang ako sa dining area hihi! Update me kung nandun na kayo, okay?

Me: Fine! Ingat.

Asawa ni Sejun: Thank you! You're the best mwah <33

︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
She'll do anything talaga para kay Kuya kaso may regla naman araw-araw si Kuya. Kelan kaya mapapansin ni Kuya si Lianne? I mean, ma-appreciate?



Lianne is the most genuine and caring person I've ever met. She really deserves nothing but the best. She's always there through my ups and downs. When I feel worthless, she's there to remind me that I am precious. She never gets tired listening to all of my rants and dramas. She's the best.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
A new notification popped up. Si Kuya Sej.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Kuya Sungit

Kuya Sungit: I'm done. Let's meet sa elevator.

Me: Finally! Omw.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Once we arrived, I texted Lianne na pumunta na dito sa dining area. Wala pang isang minuto nandito na si Lianne. Halatang kanina pa siya naghihintay sa lobby. Loko talaga.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Bigla 'kong naalala yung bilin ni mommy earlier about the issue sa kitchen.
  ︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"I'll just check something pala." I was about to stand up when Kuya Sej stopped me.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Is it about the utensils?" He asked. I hummed in response.



"Just wait for our food. Ako na mag-ccheck." He said and then stood up.



"How did you know?"



"Mom texted me about it because I missed her call." Then he glanced at Lianne and back to me again. "She told me to help you."
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Oh, okay." I responded then he left.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
Sayang yung chance. Iiwan ko sana silang dalawa ni Lianne pero feeling ko Kuya sensed it kaya inunahan na niya 'ko. Kainis ha.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"Pabayan mo na yan si Sejun, may chika nalang ako." Lianne said.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
I looked at her, waiting for her to tell the chika.
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
︎ ︎ ︎
"I read some articles a while ago about kay Josh. Nandito na siya sa Philippines. He arrived last night."
