Napaglaruan ka na ba ng tadhana? Iyong kung kailan ay handa ka ng lumabas sa sakit, handa ng bumitaw, handa ka ng magbagong buhay at iwan ang nakaraan ay siya namang ibabalik niya ang lahat. Muli niyang ipinograma ang laro ng buhay mo. Binigyan ka ng panibagong hamon. Everything you completed has been restarted.
"Good morning miss," the head of game programming greeted.
"I told you not to call me miss. Tsk," I said. He wasn't afraid to disobey me because we're best friends since high school.
"Why? Is it reminded you of your marriage that didn't go through, miss?" he teased and gave emphasized on 'miss'.
"Why are you here? You're too early to pissed me off," I asked as I rolled my eyes.
"Oh! I'm going to report," he said then laughed. Mas inuna pa kasi na mang asar kaya mukhang nakalimutan na niya ang pakay niya.
"What is it?" I asked while sitting at my chair in front of my table that has a name plate 'CEO Balmez'
Yes, I am a CEO. I got everything from elegant to luxurious. I can get whatever things that I want. But things are just things, not love. Sa kung gaano ako kayaman sa materyal na bagay, ay ganun din ang kamalasan ko sa pag ibig. I've been in a relationship for almost 10 years. At kung kailang settled na ang lahat saka naman masisira. Kung kailang nakasuot na ako ng pangkasal at handa ng maglakad papuntang altar ay siya namang maglalaho ang lahat na parang bula.
"We've got a problem about the program of the game. Recently, we received feedbacks from our tester that the game often lags. Natatalo raw sila dahil sa lag hindi dahil sa pangit sila maglaro. We also checked the program and we saw many bugs. Maybe that's the reason why we experience some lags," he reported.
"Nawala lang ako saglit ang dami na agad naging problema," I said while opening the telecom to call my secretary. "Come inside," I spoke on the other line.
"Ay wow! Saglit ba ang isang buwan na pagkawala at ngayon lang bumalik ha? Isang buwan ka kayang nagluksa sa pangiiwan sayo ng fiance mo. Pinahirapan mo kaming empleyado mo. Ipaimpeach kaya kita," he joked
"Ikaw ang ipapatanggal ko sa trabaho," I joked too. Sakto namang kakapasok lang ng secretary ko. "Do I have meetings today?" I asked her.
"Yes ma'am, 10 am with Mr. Atienza and 2 pm with the board members," she informed me. I looked at my watch and it's already nine.
"Call Mr. Atienza and tell him that I'll just go to his company," I told to my secretary and ready myself for the leave.
"Do you want to come?" I asked my best friend.
"No, thanks. Ikaw na lang pumunta mag-isa. Ingat," bigla ko namang naalala na mag ama nga pala sila and they're not in good condition. Kaya sa halip na sa kompanya nila niya sa magtrabaho ay mas pinili niya rito. There's no reason to tell what's the conflict between them but what I could say is they're both prideful.
"Okay then, mamaya na lang sa meeting with board members natin pagusapan 'yang about sa problem. Gotta go!" paalam ko.
Minutes later I already arrived at Mr. Atienza's company. His employees greeted me and so I am.
"Where's Mr. Atienza?" I asked his secretary.
"At his office ma'am. He has a meeting with someone," the secretary said.
"Okay, I'll just wait here," I said and sat on the couch I saw there.
She offered me a coffee and I thank her for that. I sat there for almost 10 minutes and already emptied my cup of coffee until I saw someone coming outside from the office.
