A Comeback when the First Tear Dropped (COMPLETED)

#ACWTFTDRightTime

My mind was preoccupied and can't think straight right now. Sobrang daming pinapagawa sa akin ni Mr. Salonga pero sino ba ako para mag-reklamo? The advertisement has been released yesterday and we just have to continue our promotion para naman well-paid iyong advertisement namin na bago.

I keep on running back and forth dahil sa dami ng inaasikaso ko. Ni hindi ko na nga iniintindi iyong sakit ng paa ko dahil sa heels para lang matapos iyong mga blue prints and plates na kailangan ipasa agad.

I know this is a big opportunity for the company kaya hindi ko na rin inisip iyong stress at pagod dahil worth it naman 'to sa dulo. I just needed to longer my patience to pay off the hard work.

"Ms. Yuchengco, are you done with the revisions of the new project?" Napatingin ako sa pintuan ko nang biglang nandoon si Mr. Salonga na naka-kunot iyong noo sa akin.

What?! Akala ko sa isang bukas pa kailangan iyon ng kliyente? Minsan, hindi ko maintindihan kung sinasadya na ba ni Mr. Salonga na pahirapan ako, e.

But instead of complaining, I just answered, "Not yet, Sir. I'm still working on the new draft. I'll just send it to your e-mail later and will handed you the blue print tomorrow."

He simply nod. "Okay. Better do it quick since Ms. Yap wants to see the revisions tomorrow morning," He said before he shut the door and left. Ms. Yap? Iyon iyong nababalita na dine-date niya lately. Sa dami ba naman ng chismosa rito sa office, e. Talaga bang kailangan na agad bukas iyong revisions o baka iniipit lang talaga ako ni Mr. Salonga pati ni Ms. Yap?

My head was pounding so hard to the point that I couldn't continue my tasks but of course, I really needed to push my self to finish everything para tapos na lahat ng hirap ko ngayong araw.

It's been months since the day I talked to Alexandrei and I feel like he wanted me to get the karma that I deserve. I mean, yeah, he also wanted to see me happyㅡbut I'm sure not with someone else.

I tried my best to do my work at least clean para wala nang babaguhin at gagawan ng panibagong draft. Akala ba nila madali mag-iba ng plano? Akala ba nila isang pitik lang, ayos na agad iyong gusto nilang ipabago sa interior design ng mga bahay nila? It's so fucking hard to do it. Don't you dare belittle the profession of Interior Designers and Architects, dahil kung hindi dahil sa amin, wala kayong makukuhang magandang design, materials, o sukat ng lupa ng mga bahay niyo.

"Hello, Ms. Yuchengco," One of my work mate greeted as she enters my office.

I gave her a small smile before arranging the new set of blue prints on my table. "Anything I can do for you?" I asked politely.

Kahit na stress ako sa trabaho, hindi ko sila pwedeng sungitan at gamitin iyong posisyon ko para utusan sila ng mga gawain na dapat ako ang nagawa. It's in the company's rules and regulations, I needed to obey it or else, I'll be a jobless human being.

She smiled and walked towards me. "This will be the new project that we need to discuss tomorrow. I already sent the proposal to our new client, Miss. We just have to do a meeting to discuss further," She said as she handed me the blue print and envelope she was holding.

Napapikit ako sa narinig ko sa kanya. Panibagong trabaho na naman. Hindi ko na mabilang iyong mga gagawin ko sa dami nila. Para bang kaunti na lang, sisigaw na ako dahil sa hindi ko na kaya i-handle ng sabay sabay. Sino ba kasing nagsabi na madali lang ang Architecture?! Sasakalin ko.

I nodded as I scanned the blue print she handed me. "Okay, set the meeting tomorrow afternoon. Who's the lead engineer of this project, by the way?" I asked.
