DECEPTION.... TO LOVE... TO FOREVER... (Completed)

Planning Stage 1

Maine's POV

This is it... I really wanted to run on the circuit kahit one time lang... I want to experience the exhilaration of driving without any hesitations... To drive on my heart's content... To be honest I am not a daredevil but there is this thirst that need be suffice on me that only driving can give me. Don't get me wrong, I am not after the prize but for pride. At least if I can conquer a racing circuit I could say that I was able to prove myself that I did something I want not just like. And another point, I would be able to help Nico to chase his dreams and being part of that is one achievement for me... I have decided to take the offer to prove but mostly help Nico achieve something he love and magkakaroon ng kabuluhan yun buhay ko!

I have a lot of stuff to do with all the engine change and practice, that will practically have my days full plus the fact that I will still be reporting on my day job at the gasoline station... It will be hectic but worth it...

Medyo nagulat lang ako na may problema pala talaga yung restaurant nila RJ. Kaya pala sobrang saya mga tauhan nila ng sabihin niya kanina na mapapaaga yung sweldo nila at bilang pambawi na din sa kanila. Ibig sabihin pwedeng nadedelay yung suweldo nila sa restaurant madalas? Kawawa naman siya kaya siguro medyo masungit siya kasi sa dami ng problema niya. Tapos yung sasakyan niya pa ibinebenta e ayaw niya ngang ipagamit sa iba yun e! Alam ko kung gaano siya kaingat sa sasakyan niya db? Halos lamunin niya ako ng buhay nung ginamit ko yung sasakyan niya one time na nagpaayos siya sa gasolinahan namin... Ano kaya pwede pa naming maitulong sa kanya para kahit papaano makabawi siya? Tapos aabalahin pa namin para mag understudy e ang dami na niyang problema! Ano ba naman kasi ang nasa isip ni Kuya Nico, pwede naman wala ng understudy e! Kaya ko naman! Napakunot ang noo ko ng wala sa loob ko!

Alden's POV
Bakit nakakunot ang noo niya? Siguro iniisip niya na ang hina ko! E hindi ko naman gusto na maghirap kami e... Lahat naman ginagawa ko para sa restaurant kaya lang malas talaga e! Sana lang wag siya mag-isip na wala ako ng diskarte sa buhay kasi hindi pa naman niya alam ang kwento e! Wait, teka nga bakit ko ba siya pinag-iisipan ng masama e, mabait naman siya! Aminin mo medyo nakakahiya yung sitwasyon mo! Ahhhhh... RJ Sana nakilala mo siya noong OK pa ang lahat!
But going back, paano ko pagsasabayin yung restaurant at commitment ko sa magkapatid? Understudy meaning I need to be there whenever she practice para malaman ko rin ang mga techniques niya plus need ko rin siguraduhin na hindi masisira yung makina ng kotse ko! In three months daw, e paano yung restaurant ko kahit may 200k ako paano ko imamanage yun!

"Mendoza, Faulkerson! Marami na naglalaro sa isip nyo no... Schedules, practice, yung mga commitments nyo! Alam ko magulo pero kakayanin natin to, tulungan lang... Ayusin natin... Mendoza, you have day job sa gasolinahan plus yung mga weekly submission mo, tama? Plus Pag may nakasked na ipapaayos na sasakyan sa talyer... Meron pa ba?

" yun pa lang so far, pero naisip ko na 24 hours yung operation ng gasolinahan so sa Pag setup ng sasakyan mo pwede kong gawin yun ng gabi everyday until 10pm... I just need at least one day to do my weekly submission and isa pa hindi naman ako lang ang regular contributor e, so i can pass to that every after two weeks... Praktis could be every weekend anytime since day job ko is 8-5pm lang... 4 hours for tinkering... So medyo maluwag lang talaga sked ko... Oh, in betweens,  is if I have schedule for cook off for Nanay!"

"Ikaw, Faulkerson ang medyo marami Gawain ano? Kasi you need to be at your restaurant fulltime... May I ask do you do rest day or the whole week bukas ang restaurant?"

"Correct, the whole week bukas ang restaurant, to be honest the reason kung bakit ako nakakatakas para magkarera is when I needed the break, Pag sobrang pagod na ako sa kakaisip and I need to re-align my thoughts and plans... To be honest, I should be spending more time on the resto rather than be here most of the time but please I am not regretting it for it took some frustrations out of me... And as for weekends, I am more hands-on at the resto coz it can sometimes our make or break for the entire week.  But let check the sked of how we are going to work it out. I could at least try to free up my sked after 8-5 work this week and if it works out then."

"Could you free up your sked this weekend, I am planning of taking a trip to the competition's venue.  At least on Sunday, the whole day, we will be leaving before the break of dawn for you to be able to see the entire racing circuit ng walang istorbo?"

"Pero Kuya hindi ka pa magaling..." Protesta ni Maine...

"Mendoza, today is Thursday, and I will be discharge on Saturday morning... All the papers are already processed with the help of Mr. Faulkerson earlier... I was advised early this morning I could go out anytime but I prefer it Saturday morning to make sure I will be able to join your tour!"

"Oh, and RJ do me a favor if you could just bring the car on Sunday, please do... I will do arrangement for a replacement car for you..." Kuya Nico said...

"OK, dude! Sunday morning it is! Pero saan ko kayo pupuntahan?" RJ answered.

"Alam mo ba yung nag-iisang gasoline station sa NLEX Sta. Maria? Doon ka na lang pumunta sa Sunday!" Sabi ni Kuya Nico Kay RJ.
