“I never knew that looking for a job is this hard. Actually it’s the keeping it that seems to be hard”, How did you do it Charles? Anong sikreto? And how can you keep up with someone like me?” tanong ni Jun habang sila ay kumakain.
“Nothing in this life is easy young master, swerte mo kasi you have parents who worked hard to give you your needs and wants pero binalewala mo lang to” mahinahong sagot nito
“is this another sermon? You’re starting to sound like my old man” pagmamaktol na sagot ni Jun.
“What I’m trying to say here iho is, if you want your parents to see na nagbago ka na, you should make a conscious effort na magbago”
“hinde yung konting hirap lang susuko ka na, tulad dun sa 1st job mo, inaway mo ang supervisor mo dahil pinabuhat ka ng hollow blocks, what do you expect construction company yun”
“Then on your 2nd attempt nakipag-away ka sa waiter dahil tinambakan ka ng platong lalabhan, do I need to go on?” tanong nito
“ before you go on, yung sa 3rd attempt ko di ko kasalanan yun, that perv touched my butt while I was serving him his drinks” Inis na sagot nito
“I agree on that note, pero konti na lang bi-bingo ka na, I know this would be against your parents order but I talked to an old friend of mine and she agreed na pwede kang magtrabaho sa café niya as a waiter, but please young master learn the art of patience and humility, walang mawawala sayo”
“Thank you Charles, for always being there” ikling sagot nito
Totoo naman ang sinabi ni Major Domo Charles na walang madali sa buhay.. sabi ng nila if life gives you lemons throw it back or something like that.. basta yun na yun.. balik na nga tayo sa kwento
*Later that day*
“ Charles!! Long time no see” sabi ng isang magandang babae na roughly same sa edad ni Charles who possesses eyes bluer than the Pacific Ocean itself
“Elizabeth my dear! Wala paring kupas ang kagandahan mo” sagot ni Charles sabay halik sa kamay neto
“at ikaw naman hanggang ngayon ay bolero” kinikilig na sagot neto
A little backstory about Charles and Elizabeth (chismosa lang noh?!) dating magkasintahan ang dalawa.
Pero Elizabeth realized that Charles was married to his job that she just decided to move away and try to heal her broken heart.
While she was in England she met her husband, sadly di sila nabiyayaan ng anak.. After he died of natural causes.
Elizabeth decided to go back to Monte Cristo and start her own café. Café Mignon is one of the most famous coffee shops not only because mura ditto but also because of their delicious flower cakes.
Eto na ba ang second chance para kina Charles at Elizabeth? Abangan!
“ and this must be Jun, last time I saw you was when you were little”
“ thank you very much for giving me chance to work here ma’am. I promise I would do my best” sagot ni Jun na parang natulala kay Elizabeth
Who wouldn’t be, At her age with her platinum blonde hair and blue eyes you would never expect her to be a widow. A queen in every sense of the word.
“Don’t promise me anything Iho, if there is one thing that life taught me and that is promises are never meant to be fulfilled” makahulugang tingin nito kay Charles
“ Let me just call one of my staff here so she can teach you what to do, Yuuki?! Yuuki Iha can you please come here for a moment?” tawag nito sa babaeng nakatalikod.
Parang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig si Jun ng nakita niyang sino ang papalapit.
If you’ll listen closely you can hear “who is that girl I see” mapaglaro talaga ang tadhana.
“ ikaw na naman?! So nag level up ka na at stalker ka na ngayon?” mataray na tanong ni Yuuki
“ it seems like you already know each other, that’s good.. Yuuki I’ll leave Jun in your capable hands and teach him what are the do’s and don’ts dito. ‘coz me and Charles are going out on a date” natatawang sabi nito
“ bye kids! And please do behave” pahabol neto
Di na nakasagot si Yuuki,dahil siguro sa shock or dahil likod na lang ni Elizabeth at Charles ang nakita niya.
“This can’t be happening iniisip niya. Universe I’ll give up eating rice, o gusto mo di na ako magdidiet but please wake me up from this nightmare” dasal ni Yuuki
Oo nga Universe ano ba talaga ang plano mo? at lagi mong pinagsasabay ang dalawa.. Gusto mo na ata mawala ang buong entire human race sa ginagawa mo eh..
