After ng Baguio trip namin, sobrang busy na ulit kami dahil andami nanaman naming project, pero hindi ko na masyadong nararamdaman yung pagod. I think until now nasa cloud nine pa rin ako from what happened in Baguio.
Somehow hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na kami na. I smiled at the thought of it. Bigla na lang tumunog yung phone ko.
• Wifey, I might run late. Natraffic ako from client meeting. Do you want anything?
Ikaw. •
• Well, I'm all yours. See you later.
Chars lang. Bilhan mo akong milk tea wifey. •
• Sus, ako daw 🙄 Fine. Getting you milk tea.
Napangiti na lang ako. Habang binabasa ko ulit yung message ni Agnes narinig ko na may pumasok sa office kaya tumayo ako para silipin.
"Hi, yeah, I'm looking for Agnes Reoma, she was referred to us for this project."sabi nung lalaki kay Jam.
"Hi sir, unfortunately Agnes is not around. By the way, I'm Jam and I'm the sound engineer. Yeah, unfortunately Agnes is not around today, but..."sabi ni Jam and then nakita niya ako kaya lumapit na ako sa kanila.
"This is Pat, she's our senior film composer, so anything Agnes can do, she can do it also or might be better."dagdag ni Jam.
"Oh hi. I'm Allan."sabi niya then nakipagkamay siya sa 'kin.
"I hope you don't mind if I would take this or to meet with you."sabi ko sa kanya.
"No, no, it's okay. I mean si Agnes lang kasi yung nabigay sa 'min na name. Asked us to look for her here, but I'm open to work with anyone."sabi niya.
"Okay, sure. So shall we discuss the project or..."
"Yeah, I'm actually with a partner band because they are planning to release their latest single along with the movie so they will be recording the song as well."
"I see. Well we also produce music here so that should not be a problem for us."
"Yes, so they're joining us today with this meeting and ah! Here she is."sabi niya and tumuro siya sa pinto kaya napalingon kami pareho ni Jam. I took a deep breath.
And there she is.
"So, I guess you're all familiar with the band SUD?"sabi ni Allan.
"Yes. We are."sabi ko.
"So, by the way this is Raisa."sabi ni Allan habang pinapalapit niya si Raisa. "Raisa, this is --"
"Pat, di ba?"sabi ni Raisa sa 'kin.
"Yes."
"I remember you, from Ben&Ben di ba? The pianist? You're Agnes's bandmate."
"Yes I am."
"Is Agnes here?"tanong niya.
"Wala si Agnes. Unfortunately, she's not here."
"Why?"
"Because she's not here, that's why. We're not allowed to discuss where our employees go, sorry."sabi ko sa kanya. I raised my eyebrows.
"Oh, wait, right. You're also Agnes's BEST friend right?"sabi niya. I don't know why she's emphasizing the word.
"I used to be."
"Oh, that's sad. Di na kayo friends?"tanong niya.
"No, I'm no longer her BEST friend. I'm now Agnes's GIRL friend and her current fiancée."sabi ko sa kanya as I emphasized the words. Hindi pwedeng attitude ka sizt kasi mas attitude ako sa'yo.
