Chapter 11 - CHAPTER 10-HOME

10:00 a. m

Nag byahe na kami pauwi sa kanya kanyang bahay matapos ang team building namin. Nasa tabihan ko naka upo si Marcus at ramdam ko ang lamig nito, wala itong kibo sa akin at hindi na ako nag tataka kung bakit.

I just need to make a name in this industry, in this company, after the business plan that I will propose and make it into a project of the company I will leave him, I will leave the company. After his engagement, after I dump him, I'll leave.

11:00 p. m

After 1 hour ng byahe ay naka rating na din ako sa condo ko.

Nag palit naman agad ako ng damit ko at nahiga sa aking kama. Naka tingin sa kisame na lumuha ang aking mata. Akala ko malakas na ako pero matapos ang lahat ng nakita ko kagabi, hindi pa pala, mahirap pa din.

1:00 p. m

I woke up 1:00 p. m hindi ko namalayan na naka tulog na pala ako ng dahil sa kaka iyak ko.

Dahil hindi pa ako nakaka kain ay naisipan ko nalang na mag order, nakaka tamad din kase mag luto.

I decided to order peperoni pizza and fries, cause why not? I feel like eating junk food so.

Tuesday ( 8:00 a. m)

Today was the day where I was going to propose may business plan. I was nervous but, back then I remember that it actually got approved so I know that I don't need to worry.

"So why do you think we should approve your proposal Ms. Ximenez?". One of the board of directors ask me while I was in front introducing my proposal.

"We are one of the most popular food companies around the world, yet we don't have that much product that I think is child friendly enough for kids to eat, we produce so much canned goods which contains a lot of msg, but if you accept my proposal and turn this idea into reality I assure you that this will bring much money ". I said at sandaling tumigil upang sumagap ng hangin.

"VegMeat is not just a vegetable, we can produce it as a substitute for meat in this case much more parents will buy food from us". Yes this is my idea to produce a product that taste and look exactly like meat but is actually made from vegetables.

Our company has been producing so much food but most of it are meat base and I know that once this has been approved it will be a hit to everyone.

9:00 a. m

Halos isang oras din kami sa conference room but I got a good news.

It got accepted! I'm so happy.

9:30 a. m

After ng makapag propose ako ng business plan ko ay naisipan ko muna na mag coffee sa pinaka malapit na place sa office, where in probably most of the time dito din ako nag kakape when I was unable to eat breakfast.

"One large order of mocha coffee please". I said at the lady on the counter.

"Here's your beeper ma'am, just claim your order once it bee. Thank you". Naka ngiting sambit nito.

Naupo ako sa isa sa mga bakanteng silya malapit sa may bintana.

Ilang minuto ang lumipas na naka tingin ako sa labas at nag mamasid ng sakto naman na tumunog na din ang beeper.

I then go to the counter and give the beeper so I can get my drink.

I then get back to my seat and started on drinking my coffee. Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pag iisip ng isang katok ang gumulat sakin. Napalingon ako at dun ay nakita ko ang isang matandang babae na kumakatok sa bintana ng coffee shop tila ng hihingi ng iniinom ko at naka tingin sakin.

Instead of giving the old lady my drink I ordered one for her with a bread. I gave it to her and immediately thank me for it.

My heart was moved that moment, and I feel a sudden pain on my chest, I miss my parents. I remember the time that I died and didn't even get a chance to hug them or tell them how much I love them before I pass away.

10:00 a.m

I get back to the office and continue to do my work, even though I already proposed my plan and got approved it doesn't mean that it end their, of course we need to harvest some plants and turn it into a real product, that's actually the processing units work but of course I have to supervise.

With the processing team we just talk about what vegetables should we use for the product.

4:00 p. m

I decided to clock out at my work so I can go home early, was actually planning to visit my parents then get back tomorrow morning since it's just a 3hours trip and I think I can get there at no time.

7:00 p. m

I got home exactly 7 p.m I knock at the door and their my mom open it. I can see that she was surprised, as I give her a hug she asked. "Why did you suddenly came back?". Hindi sanay si mama na umuuwi ako na walang tawag sa kanya.

"I just miss you. Where's dad?". Sambit ko saka pumasok kami sa loob ng bahay.

"Dad!". I exclaimed as I saw my dad watching television, I run towards him and sit beside him and then give him a warm hug. Na bagsak ko na din lang bigla ang mga dala kong pasalubong sa kanila sa sahig sa sobrang excited at ito namang si mama ay pinulot iyon.

"Naku Valeria ikaw talaga tas iniwan mo lang dito itong mga dala mo oh". Sambit nito habang dinadala sa kusina yung mga pina mili ko, I brought groceries for them.

"Hayaan mo na mahal nag lalambing lang itong anak mo eh". Wika naman ni papa habang hinahaplos haplos nito ang aking buhok.

I love the feeling of being home, it's peaceful here, it feels happy with them beside me;I hope this moment never comes to an end.
