FIVE YEARS AGO.

Lawrence POV

"Dumating ka na pala anak! Pinapatawag ka ng daddy mo sa library. May pag-uusapan daw kayo." Bungad na sabi sakin na yaya Lucing ko.

"Okey po yaya. Pakihanda na lang po ako ng meryinda yaya nagutom po kasi ako sa activity namin sa school."
Pakiusap ko kay yaya.

Iniwan ko na lang ang bag ko sa sala at deretsong umakyat sa library.

I knock.

"Come in!" Its dad.

I see my parents sitting in the long sofa facing the door. Sinarado ko ang pintuan at naglakad papunta sa kanila.

"Good afternoon Mom,Dad!" Bati ko sabay halik sa kanila sa pisngi.

I settle myself in a single seater sofa in their left.

"Pinatawag nyo daw po ako." Panimula ko.

My mom smile and nod while my dad seriously staring at me trying to read my mind.

He's intimidating everytime he do that.

He cleared his throat.
"Yes son. You already reach 18 last week and you know what does it mean right? Your mother and i decide to give you a work in our company next week like your cousins did when they reached 18." Walang pasubaling pahayag ni dad.

I know this time will come and I'm preparing for this. But hearing it right now i feel like i dont want to do it yet. Im still young and i want to enjoy my life like guys in my age doing, not working in a low job. I feel down.

"Looking at your face anak, you're not happy." My mom snap me back in senses. I look at her, she's not happy too on my expression. "Try to remember anak para sayo rin ito at sa kompanya ang ginagawa namin. Kailangan mong nagsimula sa mababa at matutu bago ka umakyat sa taas kung saan naroon ang ama mo ngayon. This way makilala mo ang mga taong makatuwang mo sa pagpalago ng ating negosyo. Observe and learn their way of doing their job." Pagpapaliwanag ni mommy.

If someone can read me like an open book, thats my mom. She knew exactly what i am thinking and feeling kahit di ko pa ito nasasabi sa kania. Her mother instinct are quite strong when it comes to her children.

Tahimik lang akong nakinig. I didn't say a word dahil kahit anung irarason ko o kahit di ako papayag, desisyon parin naman nila ang masusunod.

"Think about it son. Isipin mo ang buhay namin noon na ikinikwento ng lolo mo sayo palagi. At ihambing mo sa buhay mo ngayon. Your lucky that you can buy whatever you desired, just swipe the card in the counter and your paid. Unlike us before, me, your uncle and tita, even your mom work ourselves hard and earn money to buy cheap things for ourselves." Kwento ni dad. Ngayon ko lang sya nakausap ng ganito at nanliliit ako sa narinig.
"Our company was build by your great grandfather from a small auto repair shop where i start to work with my dad at the age of 10. Hanggang sa pinagtulungan naming magkapatid na palaguin ito. Dugo at pawis ang puhunan ng pamilya natin sa negosyong ito. Gusto naming iparanas sayo ang magtrabaho mula sa mababa, hindi para pahirapan ka kundi para matuto. You have to experience and open your eyes in the reality of poverty and see the difference of what we have." He continued.
