Thread IX: Another encounter...?

MADARA’S POV

“Pres, paki sign naman tong mga papers na to oh.”

“Sige.” Hm… Teka? Bkit ko inuutusan ng babaeng to eh secretary lang naman sya?

I rested my right elbow on my desk and rested my chin on my hand. Sigh. I feel tired so I close my eyes.

“Sir, you need to approve for this! Lumalaki na ang population ng Observer Club and we need a club room, immediately!”

“Observer club?” I opened an eye just to have a glimpse on this fool infront of me. “What’s this club all about?”

“Sir, our club aims to observe everything inside the vicinity of our campus. We observe clouds, trees, leaves, students, floors, buildings, ants, and even the smallest particle that can be found here inside the campus” F*ck. Is he serious oh baka naman na-ga-gag show lang ako? No. It’s real. He’s dead serious on what he said and I can trace from his face that he’s pretty proud about his stupid club.

“So, what’s the significance of this club?”

“Well, sir…ahm…” he then cleared his throat. He inhaled as if he’s preparing to give me a mouth full of explanation. “Just observing, sir. Just observing.”

*Booog!!!*

I hit the desk with my hand. Nahampas ko ang desk ko sa gulat at inis. Parang pumaltik ata ugat ko sa utak nung marinig ko ang sinabi niya!? Naghuhukay ba to ng libingan niya?!

“You want me to give a room for your f*cking freaking sh*tty club?! F*ck off @sshole. GET OUT!!!”

I rubbed my temples and had a deep breath. With just a minute, someone spoke again.

“Mr. President.”

“Oh?” nakapalumbaba pa rin ako with closed eyes.

“Our administrator is asking for a report about our students who were caught drinking inside a bar. She said she wants it now.” He said in a trembling voice.

“Do you know how to write?” I asked him.

“Ye-yes.”

“Your course???”

“O-o-o-organizational Communications po.”

“Is your English good???”

“Ahm…medyo…okay naman po…pero…kasi…ano po…” I can feel the fright from his voice. Ano ba naman tong kausap. Ang gulo niya!

“I ASK YOU, IS YOUR ENGLISH GOOD?!”

“H-hind-di po masya--” parang naiiyak na ata sya sa pagtatanong ko.

“IS YOUR ENGLISH GOOD???!!!!”

“O-opo!”

“Good! Then you make the report. Just let me proof read and sign it. Clear?”

Antagal niyang hindi sumagot. Parang naghehesitate ata sya.

“Ahm…sir…may project po ka--”

“CLEAR???!!!”

“Opo!” sabi niya sabay takbo paalis ng student council room.

Sigh. Parang hilong-hilo na ako sa dapat gawin. I sat properly on my seat and reached for the paper that my secretary asked me to sign a while ago. Not so long after that, I saw my secretary carrying a pile of papers and put it into my desk.

“I don’t like that.” Those were the only words I was able to say. Literal nang natatabunan ng mga papel na to ang mukha ko.

“Pres, you need to read these papers carefully and take note of important details. Then, if you approve the requests, sign it, if you don’t leave some remarks/comments on the documents and put it on my table so I can revise it.” She then fixed her glasses on her nose bridge.
