My Boss is My Baby

Prologue

Anong trabaho ang nagrerequires sayong magsuot ng headset? At magsalita ng English.

Call center agent.

Call center agent?

Are you sure?

Oh there! I got you! I knew it! I know that most of you will probably answers call center agent is the work that requires the workers to wear headset and speak English.

But actually. They're wrong. You are wrong. Wanna know the answer?

"Hi. Good morning! Can you hear me? Can you see me well? Okay! There! I can see you now. Hello! My name is Page. And I will be you teacher for today! What's your n---"

Oh now! May idea kana? Yes. Your idea is right. It's online teaching. And being an online teacher is my work.

Everyday, I'm encountering diverse people who aims to learn speaking in English. Korean, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysian and you name it! I.meet.them.all. EVERYDAY.

Nagtatrabaho ako sa isang online school for about a month palang. Bago palang ako pero I'm already attached to my student even to my collegues. Mababait ang mga supervisor pati mga manager. I already met them once nung orientation. Pero yung Boss talaga. Ang never ko pang nameet. I don't know his name nga e. Kasi si Mr. Ceo. He's playing mysterious daw sabi ng mga kawork ko. Few palang ang mga nakakita sakanya. At yung mga "few" pa na yon ay may bad meet up kase lahat sila nakagawa ng major problem kaya kinausap sila ng personal. So creepy.

"Ms. Page Santos. The VIP booked your class on 3:30pm. Then on 4:30pm go to CEO office. Mr CEO wants to talk you personally. Please don't forget about it."

Ceo office? Ako pinapatawag ng CEO? Anong meron? Lagot.

"Thanks for reminding me Batty! Pero bakit ako pinapapunta sa CEO office?" I'm so worried because I might have commit mistake kaya pinapapunta ako doon! Goshie. Kinakabahan ako ah.

"I don't know po. Anyway. No worries Page." She said and left me on my office.

"Do you understand the article Joonki?"

"Yes teacher Page. Anyway teacher. Are you okay? You look scared."

I was like.. super distracted the entire time of my class. Di ko alam natutula na ako sa harapan ng studyante ko.

"Yes. I'm okay. Thank you for asking. Anyway, Our time is over. I need to say bye now. Bye for now Joonki! See you next time!"

I was able to finished my class even if I'm super distracted and pre-occupied dahil sa bonggang reminder na natanggap ko. Mawawalan naba ako ng trabaho?

Habang naglalakad papunta sa CEO's office, iniisip ko kung may mga nagawa ba akong mali. Sobrang kinakabahan ako. Rinig na rinig ko ang kalabog ng puso ko.

"Page pasok kana." Si Batty.

Tinignan ko muna ng may pagaalinlangan si Batty bago ko hinawakan ang door knob ng pinto ng CEO's office.

"Batty di mo talaga alam bakit ako pinapatawag?"

She just shrugged.

"Go na pasok na!"

"Wait! Okay naman itsura ko Batty?"

Nagthumbs up sya. "Oo keri na! Pasok na go! Ayaw ng late nyan!" Worriedness is written all over her face now.

"Wait! Do I need to knock?"

"Of course Page! That's a common sense!"

Tinulak ako palapit ni Batty sa pintuan at tila napigtas ang natitira nyang pasensya dahil sya na ang kumatok para saken.

"Come in."

Parang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig ang katawan ko ng marinig ko ang baritonong, sobrang tigas na boses ni Mr. CEO. Jusko. Boses palang sumisigaw na ng kapangyarihan at kayamanan.

"Go na!" Bulong ni Batty saka tinignan ako with "kaya mo yan" look.

Pinihit kuna ang door knob at pumasok ng nakayuko. Tumigil ako sa paglalakad ng marating kuna ang table nya. Nakayuko padin ako. Pakiramdam ko wala akong karapatan na tignan sya dahil sa kapangyarihang taglay nya.

"You are fired!"

I was ready to hear that. Ng pumasok ako sa pinto ng opisina nya inorient ko na ang sarili ko sa maaring mangyari. Kaya handa nakong mawalan ng trabaho. Hiring kaya sila ngayon sa isang Korean school?

"Wala ako sa sahig Ms. Page."

Napatingin ako kay Mr. Ceo dahil sa sinabi nya at sa tawa nya.

Laking gulat ko sa nakita ko. Nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita kung sino ang Mr. Ceo na tinutukoy nila!

Yuichiro Miyamoto!? Sy-- syaa ang CEO nitong kumpanya na to?! Sy-aaaa ang may-ari nito!? Sy-aaa ang boss ko!?

Oh my gash! What's happening on Earth!? Boss ko si baby!????!
