Kiro's
*flashback*
Pagkababa ko kay Mei galing sa pagkakabuhat ay biglang nagvibrate ang phone ko.
The one who sent me a message was my boss in a restaurant kung saan ako nagpapart time job. I don't know why pero kasi, I feel that if I have a part time job, I won't feel bored and I feel that I can help others by serving-- so I applied into this restaurant as a waiter.
Dali-dali ako ngayong tumatakbo at hindi na nakapagpaalaam kay Mei. Gusto ko mang itanong kung ano ang reaksyon nya na ako ang vice sa SC, ngunit hindi na pwede dahil pinagmamadali na ako doon.
My boss stated that masyadong maraming customers and they can't handle it by themselves so they need my help.
Habang tumatakbo ako papalabas ng mall ay may nakabanggan akong isang lalaki.
"Sorry I was just in a hurry-- Oh Lance??" Sambit ko.
Tumingin sakin si Lance na medyo gulat din.
"Kiro! Bakit ka nagmamadali?" Tanong nito saakin.
"Uhh part time?? Need daw ako eh. By the way could you wear this to Mei? Need rin." sagot ko sabay abot ng suot kong jacket.
"Sure sure sige. Ingat ka." Pagpaalam nito at naglakad na.
Bakit parang alam ko na papunta siya kina Mei..
....
*ting*
Hingal kong pinasok ang restaurant at lumakad papuntang staff room.
Ngunit habang ako'y naglalakad ay hindi maiwasan ng mga tao na mapatingin sakin. Lalo na't ako'y pawisan ngayon.
Argh sabi ko na nga ba ang dusing ko.
"Uhm kuya? Kailangan niyo po ba ng makakain?" Tanong ng isang babaeng customer ata?
"H-HA? N-no, I'm fine." Sagot ko dito at paalis na sana ng magsalita ito uli.
"Ayos lang naman po sakin na may kasalo ngayon." Hiya niyang sabi.
Wait-what? Was she hitting on me?
Magsasalita na sana ako ng may narinig akong pamilyar na boses.
"Mr. Rio you're late. Come to the staff room now and change your appearance. Faster. Go go." Sambit ni Ms. Felixa, our boss sabay hagis sa akin ng isang bimpo.
Tumango na lamang ako bilang sagot at yumuko sa babaeng kumausap saakin as a sign of sorry.
Nagpatuloy ako ng paglalakad papuntang staff room at kinuha na ang aking mga susuutin.
I briefly take a bath para presko ako kahit papaano.
Tapos kong maligo ay kinuha ko na ang uniform ko at kabod na napagmasdan ang aking name plate.
"How did I ended up being a vice-president to a best-waiter at the same time?" I chuckled as I whisper it to myself.
After a minute getting myself neatly done. I stepped out to the staff room. I was just ready to breath some nice-smell-air when I heard a shout calling my name.
"Waiter Rio swap!"
I quickly pick my notebook and pen then walk towards to the table that my co-waiter assigned me to.
I didn't have time to look at the customers so I said my line as I reach the table.
"May I take your order ma'am and sir?" Tanong ko sa mga 'to.
The other customer is just ready to order when the her boyfriend-- I think?-- shouted.
"M-M-Mr. Vice-President!?" Sigaw nung lalaki at tumayo.
H-huh? Mr. Vice-President?
I never gave it a look para sure. Baka kasi hindi ako yung sinigawan.
But when I heard a different voice calling my real first name.
I gave up my eyes to it.
"Kiro?" Gulat din na sambit ni Lance at lumingon sa akin.
I exchange some stares at him and roamed my eyes to the people he came with.
Mei?
She's looking at me too.
Katapos kong libutin ang aking paningin sa mga kasama niya ay bumalik na ang aking paningin kay Lance.
"Sorry sir, but I don't know any waiter here that have that name." Sambit ko at ni-ready ulit ang pen ko sa pagsulat.
"So, if you don't mind, may I take your orders immediately?" I asked.
