What happened to us?

Chapter 15

Eli's POV

So today is sunday at may rehearsal kami mamayang 9:00am, it's still 4am kaya nag gym muna ako. I didn't saw Renz there so I assumed that he's still asleep.

After working out I took a bath in my unit and eat my breakfast. I cooked a toasted bread with a egg and make my coffee, while eating I entertain myself by looking at the city buildings. I didn't imagine na mag tatagal ako dito, I just smiled and finish my food.

I just wear a casual clothes, jeans, halter top and a sneakers. I went to the studio kung saan kami mag rerehearse, maaga akong nakadating duon kaya nakipag usap muna ako sa ibang co models.

"Ilang taon ka na dito sa agency?" I asked my co model.

"Mag tthree years nadin, ikaw ba?"

"1 year and six months. Within that three years hindi mo naisipang mag pa lipat sa ibang bansa?"

"Uhm no, but may mga fashion show na ako na attendan na sa ibang bansa but I didn't plan to transfer there."

Napa tango tango nalang ako  hanggang sa tawagin na kami ng manager. Pinapila kami at isa isa kaming pinag model sa runway, tinuro din saamin ang directions kung saan ba pupuwesto, lalabas at iba pa.

Nag pahinga lang kami ng lunch time, may provided foods na sa studio kaya hindi na namin  kaylangan pang mag punta sa mall or restaurant. Nag patuloy kami sa rehearsal pagkatapos ng lunch time at natapos ng 3pm.

I invited Sandra to my unit at sinabing pupunta siya pagka tapos ng work niya. Hanggang sunday kasi ang open ng botique niya kaya pagdating sa unit ay nag pahinga lang muna ako saglit, nakatulog ako at nagising din.

5pm na nakadating si Sandra sa unit ko buti nalang nakapag luto na ako ng dinner.

"How's work?" I asked while we're eating.

"It's fine medyo stress pero ok lang naman."

After eating inaya ko siyang mag swimming buti nalang may swimsuit ako dito na hindi ko pa nagagamit. Bumaba kami ng around 6pm dahil nag patunaw pa kami ng kinain, nakita kong bukas na ang pool bar at napangiti ako duon.

Agad kami nag punta sa pool at lumangoy papunta sa pool bar, umupo kami sa stool duon and ordered some drinks. Sandra is wearing a white one piece swimsuit while I'm wearing a beige high cut two piece swimsuit. Dumating ang order naming cocktail at nag kwentuhan na.

"Kamusta kayo ni kuya?" She asked.

I sighed and answered her.

"We are civil, we don't talk that much unless it's about work."

"Nag pupunta padin ba yung Natalie na yun?"

"Nope hindi ko na siya nakikita sa office, gladly." I said then laugh.

"So what's your plan? May balak ka pa bang sabihin sakaniya yung dahilan?"

"There's no use of telling my reasons Sandra sira nadin naman hindi na maayos. Maybe I should really move on now tanggap ko na naman." I said then sipped on my drink.

"If that's what you wan't, kaylan ka pala babalik sa NY? I hope that you will change your mind and just stay here for good."

"Maybe after the fashion week? At kapag settled na yung pinroposed kong project. Sorry but I think this is not my place, this is not where I should be Sandra."

After that talk ay nag relax lang kami at umahon na ng mag 7:30 na, Sandra can't stay in my unit since may work pa siya bukas.

"Thanks for coming over Sandra, if you also need my company I'm always free."

"No problem, thank you." Sabi niya saka lumabas na ng unit ko.

I closed the door and let out a deep sigh, ang bilis ng araw monday na agad hays.

I emailed the managers and told them that we're having a meeting tomorrow with the CEO, they're always prepared at yun ang kinatuwa ko.

Kinabukasan ay gumising ako ng maaga para makapag gym at makapag prepare na for the meeting. Maaga ako kasama ang mga managers sa conference room para makapag meeting about the targets or forecast of the sale for the next quarter.

Nang mag 9 am na ay dumating na si Renz at agad kaming umayos, umupo siya sa kabisera ng lamesa. At nag simula na ang meeting, isa isang nag present ang mga manager ng kada departments about sa operations nila for this quarter. Sa huli ay prinesent ko ang targets namin para mas ma improve at mapataas ang sales for the next 3 months.

Pagkatapos ng meeting ay bumalik na kami sa kaniya kaniyang opisina, may event na gagawin this week kaya ngayon na naisipan na mag meeting tutal end of the month nadin.

It's 40th anniversary of Casa Grande Incorporated on Friday, kaya pinag paplanuhan na namin iyon, I bet many businessmen will come and some investors.

All the way to friday ay nag prepare kami for the occasion and do our usual works. So now it's friday it will be a formal event, nauna nang mag celebrate ang nga employees ng kumpanya kahapon. Nag pa catering lang kami sa function hall at nag celebrate kasama si Renz.

And now kaming dalawa and some managers lang ang pupunta sa formal event na ito na galing sa kumpanya the rest are some businessmen. I'm wearing a  black body hugging gown, it's backless at pa v neck naman ang harap nito kaya medyo kita ang dibdib ko. I paired it with silver jewelries and a silver clutch bag, Renz will pick me up here in my unit dahil kaylangan daw na magkasama kaming pupunta sa venue.

I heard a buzz on my unit kaya agad kong binuksan iyon, I saw Renz wearing his black tuxedo.

"Are you done?" He asked.

"Yes, let's go." Sabi ko at nag punta na kami sa elevator para maka alis.

Buong byahe kaming tahimik ok na din iyon, nang makarating kaming venue ay nakita ko na agad ang medias. Of course they will be there, bumaba kami ng sasakyan at agad na dinumog ng medias.

"Miss Davis are you and Mr. Hudson dating?"

"Are you going to leave your agency for the company?"

"Mr. Hudson what is your status with Ms. Natalie Vera."

Hindi ko na narinig ang ibang tanong nang makapasok na kami sa loob ng venue buti nalang at may body guards na nakaabang saamin kaya hindi kami nahirapan sa pag pasok.

Sumalubong saamin ang ibang photographers na patuloy na kumukuha ng aming litrato. Umupo kami sa unahan, anduon na ang tito ko at tito ni Renz na nag mamanage ng branch namin sa Laguna at Batangas.

"Good evening Tito." Bati ko sabay mano sakanilang dalawa, ganun din ang ginawa ni Renz at umupo na kami.

The venue is quite big may nakita akong iilang kilalang businessmen sa ibang tables, at nahagip ng mata ko ang isang table kung  saan naka upo si Natalie. Binalewala ko iyon at itinuon na ang tingin sa harapan.

"Let's start this event with an open speech of the CEO of the company Mr. Renz Oliver Hudson." Sabi ng  emcee at at nag palakpakan ang mga tao dito.
