● Being Hard●

○○○ Trisha's Punto di vista ○○○

I was waken by a fucking phone call at 6:00 am in Saturday morning. I'm on my way at the office right now dahil sa isang meeting.  Ganito kasi, biglang tumawag si Nathalia ng 6 am ng umaga. Nasigawan ko pa nga siya, she called me dahil may meeting daw by 7:30, I was shocked dahil hindi ako na-informed before hand, at kailangan daw ako roon asap which is really fucking annoying. I enter the Soriano Company and my secretary knows I'm really pissed that's why hindi na rin siya nagsalita. I don't know but I have a bad feeling about this meeting

When the elevator open ay lumabas ako at pumunta na agad sa meeting area. Pumasok agad ako ng conference room, ang nadatnan ko ay...

Walang tao. I take a deep breath while my blood start to boil.

"Nathalia, please give me a fucking good explanation why does the fucking conference room is fucking empty." sabi ko na nangigigil.

"Wait Ms. Hanazono." kabado niya na salita. May tinawagan siya at nanlaki ang kanyang mata. She looked at me nervously before speaking.

"Ms. Hanazono, the information given by the secretary of Mrs. Soriano is wrong. Mrs. Soriano said the meeting will be on Monday, 7:30 am po. Mali raw siya ng sinabi sa secretary niya." sabi nito. I quietly take a deep breath before asking again, "Sinong Mrs. Soriano??" tanong ko sa kanya, "Mrs. Katherine Soriano, Miss." sagot niya sa akin. Bumaba na kami ng floor at tiningnan ko siya.

"Don't accept any future scheduled meetings or request meetings from the Soriano. Tell them I won't entertain them for now. You may go home, Nathalia." I simply said before I went to my car. 

I fish out my phone from my bag and call Charles' parents.

*Legend: Italicize words + [ ]: Mrs. Soriano// Bold Words: Trisha*

[Ms. Hanazono! Good morning, what I can do for you??]

Mrs. Soriano, I'm glad you answered my called. I have a quick talk and warning for you. I won't tolerate your daughter-in-law's mistake. I think she have a grudge in me. Her secretary  called my secretary, who called me afterwards 6 am in the morning to tell me we have a meeting at 7:30 am. I'm fine being called early at the morning except for weekends. Your daughter-in-law told to my secretary, it was a wrong information. I'm warning you, please put a leash on your daughter-in-law so she can't create any troublesome. I think you are warned beforehand that I don't like any mistakes, even a small mistake can grow into a bigger one. 

[Ms. Hanazono, I'm uhm I'm very sorry. I'll make sure that this will-]

Make sure Mrs. Soriano, I don't like broken promises. I can withdraw my investment any moment. I need to end the call, I need to ask my secretary to fix some documents about your company.

After that, I ended the call. Tingnan natin kung hindi sila magkagulo. Kagabi pa sila, sabi ang meeting gantong oras pero ano ng oras nagsimula. Tapos magsasalita pa si Kath sa harapan walang kwenta kaya iritang irita ako. Ano, high school presentation lang?!

○○○ Mrs. Soriano's Punto di vista ○○○

Halos lumabas na ang puso ko sa sinabi ni Ms. Hanazono, delikado kami kung ganito. Pinatawag ko na agad ang secretary ko.

"Ano na naman bang nangyari?!?!" sigaw ko sa secretary na andoon kahapon sa meeting, kwinento niya lahat. Dagdagan pa ang sinabi  ngayon ni Ms. Hanazono.

Napakawalang kwenta talaga ni Katherine. Hindi pwede mawala si Ms. Hanazono dahil baka sa kangkungan na kami pupulutin.

"Tawagin mo ang mag-asawa na iyan o pati ikaw madadamay." sabi naman ng asawa ko.

Dumating silang dalawa, nakapustura pa si Kathering nang dumating. Bago pa lumapit nasampal ko na siya wala sa oras.

"Mom?!" sigaw naman ni Charles at dinaluhan ang asawa.

"NAMUMURO KA NANG BABAE KA!! NAKAKAHIYA!! PINAHIYA MO NA NAMAN ANG PAMILYA NAMIN KAY MS. HANAZONO. WALANG KWENTANG MEETING!? MALI MALI PANG SCHEDULE?! LATE NAGSTART?! TAMA BA IYON!? SHE WAS ANGRY BECAUSE OF YOUR MISTAKES!! OUR COMPANY'S MISTAKE!! CHARLES AYUSIN MO ANG GUSOT NA ITO. PINAHANAP NA NI MS. HANAZONO ANG PAPELES NATIN. SINASABI KO SA INYO, SA KANGKUNGAN TAYO PUPULUTIN!!" sigaw ko. Si Charles um-oo naman. Okay na sana ang lahat kung hindi lang dumating itong babaeng ito.

○○○ Trisha's Punto di vista ○○○

I relaxed in my pool when my phone start ringing. Napakunot naman ang noo ko.

"Fuck, this phone call." bulong ko na lang bago ko sagutin.

*Legend: Italicize words + [ ]: Charles// Bold Words: Trisha*

[Hello Trisha??]

You really don't know how to properly address me Mr. Soriano?? Really?? Trisha?? Are we that close??

[Sorry, Ms. Hanazono]

Did you know what did your wife do? What do you need this time?? 

[You..]

Che cazzo?? Vaffanculo stronzo mamma!! Vai all'inferno!! I'll hang up this fucking phone call.

[Wait !! I just want to say sorry about--]

-

I ended the call. Lalo lang nag-init ang ulo ko. Pesteng lalaki, ang sarap niyang sakaling punyeta siya.

English Translations:

Che cazzo?? Vaffanculo stronzo mamma!! Vai all'inferno!! - What the fuck?? Fuck you m*ther f*cker!! Go to hell!!
