"Stephanie, handa ka na ba?"
The secretary of the largest TV network in the Philippines welcomed me as I entered the office. Magkakaroon kasi ako ng marketing proposal para mas bumenta ang pelikula na inilabas ng sikat na direktor.
It was been five months since my graduation was done. Si Carlo naman ay mas naging busy sa work niya. Minsan umaalis siya at bumabalik sa Vietnam dahil nagkakaroon minsan ng problema sa productions. Habang ako ay nanatiling junior worker dito sa dati kong pinapasukan.
We went inside the board room para sa gaganaping meeting. I distributed the folders with the attached proposals there, and hoping na ma-aaprove ng regents para mas sumikat ang pelikula ng direktor na naka-assign sa akin,
"So, who is in favor with this?" sagot ni Mr. Villanueva,
Everyone in the board room raises their hands, I still managed to smile even if I'm panicking,
When I went home, I saw Carlo playing with Goya. This day was very tiring, pagkatapos kasi ng board meeting, nagkaroon pa ng seminars at mga works na ipinapautos sa akin,
"Hi baby! Late ka ng umuwi!" Carlo said to me, he welcomed me with his warm arms.
"Yeah, busy lang sa work, ang daming ginawa," sabi ko habang hinuhubad ang sandals,
"Did you eat? I'll cook something," tanong niya sa akin, tumango na lang ako. Bumabagsak na kasi ang mata ko at kailangan ko na ng pahinga. Maaga pa bukas para sa trabaho.
Kinabukasan, nagising ako ng wala si Carlo sa tabi ko. He left a note saying that he is in Cebu for an executive gathering. He was appointed as the Vice President tapos minsan nabubusy siya sa pag-aaral dahil graduating na rin siya sa kanyang Master's.
Nagluto na lamang ako ng breakfast at kumain mag-isa. After that I took a bath and put my skin care at nag-abang ng taxi. I was also planning to earn money so I could buy my own car, pero mas uunahin ko munang matuto kaysa sa bumili. Magpapaturo lang ako kay Carlo
The secretary told me na meron nanamang board meeting about sa upcoming release ng international film, I sighed and get my coat and walk towards the board room. There, mas naging intense ang meeting at nauwi pa sa argument. Reasons are the movie was so underrated, indie, at kulang sa acting! Napatakip tuloy ako ng mukha dahil sa stress.
It was past lunch time when the meeting was done. When I opened my phone, madaming mensahe ang lumabas. Naka-silent o do not disturb mode din kasi ito dahil ayaw kong madistorbo kapag nasa kalagitnaan ng meeting.
