vague sketches
In a blink of an eye, July first marked the official start of this auditorium project. I'm still not a hundred percent sure if these decisions I've made are for the betterment of the company. But I am at least confident enough to say that we're finally making some progress. Matapos pumayag ni Khael na maging arkitekto ng proyektong ito ay agad-agad din ang pagkilos ng bawat isa sa amin. Like what I've said, we didn't want to waste any time and effort. And so, everyone treated time as if it was some precious gold.
"I can already feel the success of this project!" Tili ni Ross sa tabi ko. Mula sa 'di kalayuan, sabay naming pinagmasdan ang trabahong ginagawa nila sa auditorium.
I glanced at my wrist watch. Anong oras ba pupunta iyong si Patricia at bakit wala pa rin siya? She clearly told me she wanted to see this place. Balak ko pa man ding bisitahin si Mama bago umuwi dahil ilang kilometro lang naman ang layo ng bahay niya mula rito.
"Sana nga. Malaki naman ang tiwala ko sakanila." Saad ko. I watched Engr. Robles walk towards a worker who ostensibly forgot to put on his yellow hard hat.
"Ay!" Bigla akong kinalbit ni Ross nang may maalala. "Si Architect pala? Hindi pupunta ngayon dito?"
Saglit ko siyang tinapunan ng tingin. "Hindi naman halatang kanina mo pa siya inaabangan, ha?"
"Natanong ko lang naman, eh!" He pouted. "Manghang-mangha kasi ako sa gawa niya. Lalo tuloy akong na-excite sa kalalabasan!"
I blankly started at the auditorium after realizing that he's right. Khael did a magnificent job on bringing justice to this place. At some point, he might almost be an asset to Alcazar's advantage for next year's international event.
FLASHBACK:
"Binago mo ang floor plan sa labas? Isn't it too extravagant?" Tinitigang mabuti ni Engr. Robles ang litrato na nakalitaw sa screen sa harapan.
Khael, who's seated beside the screen with both feet crossed above our table, gave her a boastful smile. "I designed it pretty, didn't I?"
"Pretty isn't everything." Saad ni Engr. Robles. "We have to be mindful of the time frame as well."
Kasalukuyan kaming nasa meeting upang ipagpatuloy ang naudlot na pag-uusap namin sa Batangas noong nakaraang linggo.
Khael shrugged. "But the clients like this kind of stuff. The designs have to be extravagant to look good."
"Pahihirapan mo nanaman ako." Inikutan siya ng mata ni Engineer.
Bahagyang natawa si Khael, saka siya tumayo mula sa upuan. "No panic. I did consider the allotment of time this will take, but we couldn't just let our visual card decline. And I believe that's the reason why Ms. Lacuesta wanted me back. Am I right?"
