James POV

Maagang gumising si James mula sa magandang panaginip. Lunes kasi at excited na siya sa flight nya to US with Nap. Isang lingo na lang din kasi ang itatagal nilang dalawa sa office at tuluyan na silang tutulak patungong Dayton.

Nagpatawag noon ng meeting sa buong production para of course magbigay ng bilin at inspirasyon na rin sa kapwa nila empleyado. Maaga rin si Nap upang maghanda sa presentation na kanilang ibibigay sa kliyente at mga kaopisina. Nang matipon na ang para sa isang town hall meeting kaagad namang ipinakilala ng host si James.

"A week from now, I and one from your team (Nap) will be taking flight going to our site in US. We have prepared some presentation that will captivate our client's heart to continue pursuing their investment in our company. And of course this would be possible without the assistance of everyone." Siya nitong paunang salita. "If we are able to get the project, this would only mean the security of your tenure not just for a year or two but of course for a long time of being a regular employee. We were all enjoying the benefits of insurance, financial aid, health benefit, leisure and all that." Pagpapatuloy nito.

"All of you guys are inspiration to us, all of you have great factor why our project is still pursuing to fulfill its mission. As we continue to work hand in hand, hopefully when we get back here another batch would be flying as well to continue our best service. Thank you very much!

Pagkatapos ng kanyang pananalita ay siya namang tayuan ng mga empleyado at malakas na palakpakan.

Poi: See, like what I have told you. Posible din tayo na maipadala sa US nakakasabik namang makapagpakitang gilas.

Oben: So balak mo akong iwan dito? Siguro gusto mo na akong palitan ng kano ano?

Poi: Kumag kang impakto ka, selos ka naman? Alam mo namang ikaw lang ang aking one and only eh.

Reggie: Sus, nagsama nanaman po yung dalawang palaka. Puro nanaman ka-cheesyhan ang lumalabas.

Oben: Taena mo pre, bakit di ka na lang humanap ng love life. Torpe torpe ka pa kasi Tol eh. Mamaya may ipapakilala ako sa iyo.

Reggie: Namo pre, siguraduhin mong ang ipapakilala mo ay tao ha. Animal ka! Yung last time na ipinakilala mo sa akin mukhang alupihan. Kaunti na lang na mikrobyo ang pipirma sa ngipin eh mukhang matatanggal na lahat mukha pang beky kainis.

Pagkatapos bumaba sa stage, tinawag naman ni Miss Ainee si Nap upang magbigay ng kaunting pananalita.

"As we heard Mr. James Estuesta, another representative is here to convey his message for the plan and mission of their flight going to US. Ladies and Gents, let us all welcome Mr. Napthanael M. Estinor"

Kinakabahan man sa kanyang gagawing talumpati ay wala ng nagawa si Nap kundi tunguhin ang mic stand. Saglit nya munang itinuon ang kanyang paningin na noon ay nakaupo sa harapang si James. Habang paakyat ito ng stage ay kinindatan siya nito at tinapunan niya ito ng malagkit na ngiti na siyang nagbigay ng kaunting lakas kay Nap.

"I never thought that all these things will eventually happen because I am just one of you; a simple employee who did his very best to become on top. Thanks to all the trainers who have extended their expertise who never get tired of teaching us. If you would all ask me for the plan, of course to do things what is right and expected by the company. I have prepared and provided ways to increase our sales by the new process that need to endorse to our client. Akala ko nung umpisa parang gusto ko ng umalis, mahirap eh, lalu na pag di ka sanay. Pero kung iisipin lahat naman ay nagsisimula sa wala. Tiwala lang sa sariling kakayanan, pagpapalawak lang ng kaalaman at syempre inspirasyon (Sabay nakaw ng tingin mula sa kinauupuan ni James) ang siyang magdadala sa atin sa rurok ng tagumpay. To all of you, my warmest thanks.
