UMIINGOS LANG SI Serenity sa tuwing may nadadaanan silang empleyado na panay ang bati sa kan'yang kasama. If it's not 'good afternoon, sir' it's 'welcome, Mr. Dela Cruz'. Doon palang alam na niya na minsan nang bumibisita rito ang binata.
"Ilan kayong magkakapatid?" Tanong niya nang makapasok sila sa President's office.
"I'm an only son."
Napaawang ang bibig niya. "Really? So ikaw ang tagapagmana?"
"What do you mean?" Nakataas ang isang kilay nito habang hinahalungkat ang drawer malapit sa office table.
"Only son of the owner of this company. It means the responsibility will fall into your hands someday." Umupo siya sa couch at hinintay itong mahanap ang pakay.
"I don't feel like it, though." Anito at binuklat ang mga folders. "I prefer being an employee than employer."
Napataas ang isang kilay niya. "You're weird." She whispered. "You want to be ordered around?"
"Yes. It's fun." Anito at tumawa ng mahina. Napailing nalang siya.
Well, everyone has a different taste. I shouldn't question it.
Matapos nitong ilagay sa bag ang nasa limang folders ay umalis na sila ng gusali. And like what he said, they went into expensive-looking resraurant.
Since it's dinner time, the restaurant was full of costumers. Mabuti nga at may bakante pa nang dumating sila. She doesn't really like the spot they took. It's in the middle, surrounded with other table. She like it more near the mirror wall.
But still, she doesn't say anything. Alangan namang paalisin nila ang costumer na nakaupo sa gusto niyang pwesto, 'di ba? Aba'y kabastusan.
Binigyan sila ng menu na agad naman niyang binuksan. And swear, the prices are no joke. It's really expensive. Pero kahit na ganoon ay marami pa rin ang costumers.
I guess the food is also no joke.
She chooses the food that she never tried and Calvin partnered it with steak. Sa drinks naman ay iced-tea lang.
"You know how to pick a good food." Ani Calvin matapos nilang ibalik ang menu sa waiter.
"Why?" Uminom siya ng tubig matapos itanong 'yon.
Calvin put both of his arms on the table. "I heard it's the Head Chef's specialty. Suki ako rito sa restaurant kaya nalaman ko lang rin. They didn't include it on the menu before but guess what?" Tapos nilingon nito ang isang pinto na may kalayuan sa kinauupuan nila. "I haven't tried that dish and I wanna taste it."
"Then order." She said.
"Okay, later."
Their order arrived within fifteen minutes. Nagpadagdag si Calvin ng pagkain. She's not rude so she waited for the another dish. Para sabay na sila.
Tumungo siya at tiningnan ang pagkain. Nagtaka siya nang meron itong dessert na kasama samantalang hindi naman niya 'yon inorder.
It's two sliced of brownies with chocolate syrup.
Ipiniling niya ang kan'yang ulo at inisip na baka parte lang 'yon ng pagkain kapag inorder. Pero nang dumating ang isa pang order ni Calvin na tulad ng sa kan'ya ay doon na napakunot ang kan'yang noo.
There's no brownies.
Bago pa makaalis ang waiter ay tinawag niya ang atensyon nito kaya nabalik ang tingin sa kan'ya. "Uhm, excuse me pero wala po akong inorder na brownies." Sambit niya rito.
"Pasensya na po, Ma'am, pero hindi ko rin alam." Anito. Hinayaan niya nalang itong maglakad papalayo dahil may ibang costumers na naman ang dumating.
