Sub Rosa in Dadiangas

Episode 4

"Okay, so how many siblings does Pres. Zamora have?" Kanina pa kami narito sa Library ni Lucien. He just keep on asking me about my grand-grandpa so I'm getting bored already.

Like hell, hindi naman niya masyadong pinapa-feel sa akin na hindi siya interesado sa akin 'no? Gosh, this man.

"4." Kinuha ko ang recipe book ko at ini-scan ito. Napansin na rin ata ni Lucien na nabo-bored na ako kaya binaba nya rin muna 'yong notes niya na may mga questions.

"You wanted to be a chef?" I shake my head as a no.

"Baker?" Hula niya, umiling ulit ako. He's getting confused already.

"Right, Zamora's hotel." Alanganin akong ngumiti at tumango sa kanya.

"Is it your dreamjob?" I don't know what to answer to that. First time na may nag-question sakin nito, because some would definitely agree to me agad kapag nalaman nilang may-ari ng Hotel ang magulang ko.

Is it really my dreamjob? Is this course going to make me happy in the future? Actually, I just took HRM as my course because I really don't have any idea about what to take when I entered college. My thoughts before was 'whatever what my parents wants for me' then I'll go for it.

Nakauwi na ako't lahat lahat pero ang isip ko nasa tanong pa rin ni Lucien. Nakapangalumbaba ako sa study table ko nang dumating sina Summer na may dala-dalang pizza, sodas and chips sa condo ko.

"First blood! Iniisip niya na si Lucifer!" Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Casper when he sat down in the sofa at nagtaas baba pa ng kilay niya sa akin.

"Shut up, Cas!" I sat down beside Sayuri saka ako kumuha ng isang slice ng pizza.

"Guess what? I'm not going sa Camping ng Department namin!" Tumayo si Isla at pumalakpak pa.

"Teka, Camping ng Department natin?" Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.

"Hindi ka inform, Te? Next week na 'yon, gaga!" She sat down again and cross her legs.

"Ba't naman di ka sasama?" Sayuri asked while opening the can of soda.

"Para sa Department ako ng mga Med Techs makasabay, I have crush doon 'e!" She giggled and flipped her hair kaya tumama sa mukha ni Casper.

"Ano ba yan! Buhok mo 'yong nakakain ko! Pwe!" Reklamo ni Casper pero inulit pa 'yon ni Isla para asarin lalo si Casper.

"Kami school tours 'e. Masaya rin kahit papano kasi nakakapag-turo kami sa mga students in remote places." Tuwang-tuwa na kwento ni Casper.

"So, hindi ako makaka-attend sa English Feast?" I pouted before getting a can of soda.

"Ay oo nga! Sayang! Madami pa namang boys niyan from other schools for sure! Reserve nalang kita, usto mo?" Summer offered. I jokingly spit at her so she look at me disgusted.

It was around 8PM when they decided to go home. Nag-iwan pa sila ng kalat ng condo ko but that was fine with me dahil wala rin naman akong gagawin kundi mag-overthink and put myself in anxiety.

Days passed and hindi na kami nagkikita ni Lucien, maybe the infos he got from me is enough? O ayaw niya na akong makita? I don't know. Hindi rin naman big deal sa akin because I'm not that attached to him naman.

I was busy with my quizzes and projects these days kaya hindi ako nakakasamang tumambay kina Summer sa Dadiangas Square. Lagi akong nasa HRM Room or nasa Library to study.

Nasa Square Baker ako ngayon along Dadiangas highway. Kakabili ko lang ng Monay at nilalantakan ko ito sa labas banda ng Bakery nang makita ko si Lucien kasama sina Xavier at Noah. Himala ata at hindi nakabuntot si Zoey?
