Nang makarating kami sa office ay medyo marami na ang tao.
Andun parin si Kathryn na masama ang tingin sa akin at si Reid na malalim ang iniisip.
Maybe he's practicing on how to convince this guys to take his side.
Tinapos ko na lang ng walang imik ang pagpi-print ng mga handout para sa discussion ng meeting.
Nang makompleto ang lahat ay inumpisahan na ni Daniel ang pagpa-followup sa ibang members tungkol sa projects nila.
He reviewed it one by one but he rejected it eventually.
He smiled coldly at me as he asking my permission to go on with the finale.
I just nod and give him a simple smile to ease his tense.
"All right guys listen... I have a one more thing to announce."
Natuon ang lahat ng pansin namin kay Daniel.
"Actually, I have one proposal thats been approved. But it still need an evaluation. And if you consider it we will take it as our final project."
Habang nagsasalita si Daniel ay abala naman ako sa pagdi-distribute ng mga hardcopy nila about sa project ni Reid.
"Great! So we do still have a chance to pass it on friday." Sabi ni Beejay na isang section 1.
"Yes... Only If ALL of you agreed." Sagot naman ni Daniel.
"Okay. Thats all we have now, lets hear what you have..." Sabi naman ng isa pang section 1 na si Kimberly.
Sumingit naman ang isa pang Section 1 na si Ivy.
"Why don't we just give it a shot and stop this meeting whether we approved it or not? Guys we only got tomorrow and Friday morning to discuss that project. We should focus on the main topic."
Magsasalita pa sana si Daniel pero um-interrupt naman si Kathryn.
"Actually were considering it as our last resort. We dont have much time left to discuss the main frame of the project. So we should start NOW." Si Kathryn na ang nagsalita.
"Hindi nga diba ikaw na mismo ang nag approved sa project na yan? We dont want to hear 'how or what' that project came up but we want the fact here. Okay na yan. Hindi na yan kailangan pang pag-usapan... We have trust in you after-all because you know whats good for us. " Pagdidiin ni Kathryn.
"She got a point. What are we all waiting for? May kailangan pa ba talaga tayong pag-usapan? Kailangan na nating tapusin ito ng maaga." Sang-ayun naman ni Beejay. Isa-isa na silang nagsing-ayunan kay Kathryn.
"Guys listen." Si Daniel naman ang napatayo sa upoan nya.
"I understand how you feel. I am too. I am more tense and nervous at the same time kung anung magiging kalalabasan ng project na ito. Dito nakasalalay ang grado natin kung makaka-graduate tayo. Kaya lang ay hindi magiging madali para sa lahat ang gagawin nating pagbuo sa project na ito."
"Tell us straight kung bakit hindi?" Tanong ni Ivy.
"We need a LOT of TIME and... MONEY."
The crowd goes silent.
"Money is not a problem here." Si Kathryn ang bumasag sa katahimikan. Nakangisi ito.
"I mean... We all know that everyones here is rich." Pagpapatuloy pa nito na may pagmamalaki.
"We know you Kathryn, of course we know moneys not matter to you. But what Im saying is everyone is not gifted as you."
"Okay! But im talking about Section 1. They are rich. Were RICH." Pagmamalaki nito. "Ewan ko lang kaya sa ibang section dyan." Naka-cross arms na sabi pa nito when he rolled her eyes as she referring to us Section 7.
