"Yup," I said while putting the canned goods in the cabinet.
"Anong oras ka gumising, Jewel?"tanong ni Sapphire.
"12." tipid kong sabi at tumango naman sila na para bang nainitindihan nila ang matagal kong paggising.
"Saan kayo galing?"
"Nagtrabaho muna kami sa cafe at pagkatapos ay nag-groceries kami."ngiting sagot ni Natasha at tumango ako. Wait, nagtrabaho sa cafe?
" You work in a cafe?"
"Well, yeah. Hindi ba iyan sinabi sayo ni Amber?"tanong ni Sapphire sa akin at tumingin kay Amber na panay iwas nang tingin. Nang mararamdaman niyang nakatingin kaming tatlo sa kanya ay inosente itong lumingon sa amin.
"Hindi."sabi ko habang tinitignan nang masama si Amber.
"Ahh! Well, now you know," said Amber.
"Tumatanggap pa ba sila ng mga tao na pwede magtrabaho don?"
"Hmm, Oo."ngiting sagot ni Natasha. I felt my face hurting from the smile that urging me to grow larger.
"Great! Can I come with you?"
"Bakit naman kailangan ka magtrabaho, Jewel? Eh, ang dami mo naman pera."sabi ni Amber at humalukipkip.
"Eh, kayo din. Marami din naman kayo nang pera, bakit kayo nagtratrabaho?"balik kong tanong at mahinang tumawa si Natasha at Sapphire habang si Amber ay umiiling.
"Well, something to do when we're bored," said Amber.
"Same goes for me," I said and crossed my arms.
"You don't know how to work on a cafe."sabi ni Amber at hindi ko mapigilan tumawa.
"Nagkatrabaho nako sa New York sa coffee shop sa dalawang buwan."
"Bakit dalawang buwan lang?"Napaiwas ako nang tingin nang dahil sa tanong ni Natasha. F*ck!How do I say this?
"Well, some pervert touched me and my kuyas got angry and punched the guy. Then, Kuya James forced me to quit the job."I said, while scratching my nape and they were looking at me like they couldn't believe what they just heard. Well, its normal for them to react like that. Who wouldn't? The stupid pervert touched my legs and it's quite uncomfortable and offensive to women. They would act like that, because they were worried, and I would also do the same.
"At sigurado ka ba na papayagan ka ng mga kuya mo na magtrabaho ulit sa coffee shop?"tanong ni Amber at humalukipkip. Well, there's a possibility that kuya won't agree with this, let's make it 90% he wouldn't agree-no, I think its 99.9% he won't agree with this. But I put my full trust in 0.1% that he would let me.
"Papayag iyon."matigas kong sabi.
"Paano ka makasigurado?"tanong niya habang ngumingisi.
"I have a good feeling," I smirked.
"Well, I have a bad feeling."Gusto ko siyang sampalin!Ang nega ng babaeng 'to!
"Come on, kuya! Pretty, please."I pleaded and Kuya James was looking at me with no expression. I was now in my room, continuously begging Kuya James to let me work in a cafe.
"No."cold niyang sabi.
"Please," I said while giving him my puppy eyes and he sighed. My face lit up thinking that maybe he would now give me his permission, but I was wrong.
"My answer is still the same, Jewel, and it's no! Or do you want me to translate for you in Tagalog? Hindi!" It felt so random. Of course, I understand it.
