Kabanata Walo
Bigo akong lumabas mula sa fastfood chain. Sayang talaga! Hindi ko naman kasi ginustong mangyari iyon! Gusto ko lang makasiguro na hindi panloloko ang alok ni Hera. At malay ko bang sekretarya talaga 'yon ni Hans? Hindi ko naman kasi siya kilala! Hindi na kasi ako naghanap pa ng mga impormasyon tungkol kay Hans.
Grabe, Sheika! Kaloka ka talaga! Pera na, naging bato pa! Sayang 'yong pagkakataon!
Pero siguro ganoon talaga. Hindi naman kasi laging papanig sa iyo ang tadhana. Baka naman kasi sinusubok ka lang. Baka patibong lang ito na kailangan mong iwasan. Malay mo e mapapahamak ka lang sa kompanya nila?
Pero paano ko naman naisip iyon? May pruweba ba ako? Naranasan ko na ba? Saka hindi ko pa nga sinubukan, hinusgahan ko na kaagad. Ni hindi ko man lang binigyan ng pagkakataon.
My god, Sheika! Kapag tatanungin ka ni Jeremiah tungkol dito at ikukwento mo lahat ng detalye, baka pagtawanan ka lang! Aasarin ka no

Tatlumpung minuto ang hinintay ko bago dumating sa labas ng mall ang sasakyan ni Jeremiah. Kaagad akong pumasok at sinuot ang seatbelt."How's your day?" Tanong niya kaagad."Ayos lang." Sagot ko habang inaayos ang aking buhok. "Ikaw ba? Ba't ang aga mong umuwi?""Wala kaming prof.""Hmm. Wala ka na ring lakad?""None. Ikaw? Meron ba?"He started the engine and drove away."Wala na rin," sagot ko sa nauna niyang tanong."Wala na rin? So madami kang naging lakad ngayon?" Siningkitan niya ako ng mata."Malamang. Olats 'yong una eh.""Is there something I should know?" He concluded, sounding suspicious.I peered at his side, bewildered. What was he talking about? He was making me uncomfortable."Ako?" Humalakhak ako. "You're crazy!"Oh, god! Si Jeremiah po ito! Jusko!Sumeryoso siya. Napalunok kaagad ako. I knew what it meant. Alam niyang naglilihim ako. Pero anong lihim ba ang alam niya?

"Puwede bang mag-request?" I asked Jeremiah after the dinner. Wala raw siyang magawa kaya tumatambay siya sa kwarto ko."What is it?" Mataman niya akong tinignan."I promised kasi na magpapadala ako ng chocolates sa bahay-ampunan. Can you do it for me? Ikaw nalang ang bumili at magpadala. Ito oh,"I handed him the money which he accepted."Use that money to buy chocolates. Don't forget Israel's favorite chocolate bar ha?""When will I deliver the chocolates to them?""As soon as possible. Wala ka bang lakad bukas?""May klase pa ako.""What about the other day?""Hmm," he mentally decided. "I'll see what I can do. Sure na ba na may trabaho ka na bukas?""May final screening pa raw eh. Tignan ko nalang kung anong magagawa ko.""Good luck. I know you can do whatever your heart desires. Tell me if you need my help.""Focus ka nalang sa pag-aaral mo. Saka maghanap ka naman ng ibang babae. Marami diyan, E

"Nabusog ka ba? Parang konti lang ang kinain mo," puna ni Jeremiah nang makabalik kami sa sasakyan niya.It was past twelve in the morning when we decided to go home. Mabuti nalang wala akong pasok bukas dahil sobra 'yong pagod ng katawan ko ngayon. Binugbog ko talaga ang sarili sa trabaho plus 'yong pag-commute ko pa ay mahirap. From Pampanga to Quezon. Next time magpapalipat na ako o lilipat ako."Nabusog naman ako kahit papaano," sagot ko. "Ikaw ba?""I guess so. Iba pa rin ang lutong ulam sa bahay.""True," humalakhak ako. "Tara na uwi na tayo. Inaantok na ako.""All right," he responsed and we drove away.The following morning, alas dies na ako nagising at bumangon. I checked my atm card kung may pumasok na bang pera mula sa tinatrabahuan ko. Napangiti akong makitang nakakuha na ako ng sahod.I took a quick bath and changed into pink shirt and short s

"Woah! You look like a teenage daydreamer," komento ni Jeremiah nang nakalapit ako sa kanya.After four hours of waiting, dumating na rin siya. 'Di ko nga alam kung makakahabol pa ba ako. It's past three in the afternoon. Plus biyahe pa namin papuntang bahay-ampunan."Oh thank you," I replied. "How was the school?""Same old thing. Nothing's new." He shrugged. Nakapatong ang braso niya sa ibabaw ng pintuan ng kanyang sasakyan."Tara na ba? Late na tayo.""Okay!"Tumulak na kami bago pa man kami magabihan sa daan. Habang nasa biyahe kwentuhan lang kami kung anong ganap sa araw niya ngayon. Sabi niya may nakilala raw siyang "new face" and it meant new girl."Is she nice to you?" I asked him."Everyone is nice to me. Guwapo ako eh," he bragged."Kahit kailan talaga." Umiling nalang ako. "Then? Naglalaro ka pa ba ng volleyball?""Yup. Minsan nalang."Sa Bohol kasi 'yon lang ang inaatupag niya— ang paglala

Thank you for your time.Eh? Was that a compliment?It was past six in the evening when Jeremiah and I bid our goodbyes to the sisters and children. I fought the urge to stay and spend more time with Israel because I could not do it. May trabaho pa ako bukas."You okay? You seem silent," aniya."I'm fine. Ikaw ba?"I was fine now that I left Israel knowing she would be safe there. Hindi ko pa alam kung kailan ulit kami magkikita but surely we would."I'm more concerned of you. You talked to Hans, didn't you?""Paano mo nalaman?""I was watching you the whole time.""You're being creepy again." I rolled my eyes."Ganu'n? 'Di ba pwedeng curious lang ako sa pinag-usapan niyo? Who knows Hans might have bad intention?""He wants to offer me a job.""What job?"

Dumating ang kanyang order kaya natigil 'yong usapan namin. Kahit papaano ay nakahinga ako nang maluwag. He ordered a black coffee. 'Di bagay sa kulay ng balat niya.He was about to sip a coffee when I asked him."What about me reconsidering your job offer?"'Di siya natuloy sa pag-inom. He brought down his mug and turned to me with his deep brown eyes."What made you change your mind?""I was thinking I need a part time job. Kung meron lang naman at kung puwede pa. By any chance?"He relaxed on his seat. An impressed smile appeared beside his lips."Are you free tomorrow?" He asked instead."No. May trabaho pa ako.""When will you be available?""I guess Saturday. How about that?"He nodded. "Meet me this Saturday, eight in the morning. My secretary will contact you so she will inform you where we will meet."Kumuha ako ng calling card at binigay 'yon sa kanya. For sure wala siyang contact informati

Nag-resign ako sa dati kong trabaho tulad ng gustong mangyari ni Hans. I underwent training before he charged me as the new chef to his new restaurant in Manila.Sobrang bilis ng pangyayari. Parang kahapon lang nagtatrabaho pa ako sa isang fast food chain, ngayon nasa restaurant na talaga. Malakihan pa!"I'm Sheika Fernando. Nice to meet you all," pakilala ko sa lahat bilang isa sa mga chefs dito sa resto ni Hans. "I hope we can get along well. Our mission is to give our customers the service they can't find from other restaurants."Mabuti nalang maraming option ang kursong kinuha ko. It was helpful. I was an instant chef in this restaurant.Nagsimula na kaming magtrabaho. This wasn't the usual job I got used to but somehow it didn't give me any regret. Mas malaki ang sahod dito. Sobra pa sa perang kailangan ko.My goal was to buy a land property first before I would design my own house. B

Hans went home and saw Jans busy typing on his laptop. His younger brother glanced at him and continued what he was doing. "I heard you hired a new chef in our restaurant?" Jans told him. "You heard it right." "But why? Didn't you like Chef Vito already?" Hindi kaagad nakasagot si Hans. It was probably because he could not tell Jans what his reasons were why he wanted to hire Sheika. No, he wasn't attracted. Probably he was just challenged. She has been rejecting him for few times without a hint of regret in her eyes. That was bold of her. Ang daming gustong pumasok sa kompanya niya pero ang babaeng 'to mas mabilis pa sa alas kwatro kung maka-reject. Recalling what happened, Hans overheard Sheika's conversation with the staff. He thought she desperately needed a job so he told his secretary to offer Sheika a job. But to his amusement, she was conceited. Scammer pala,
