“Bro, come back to earth huy! Saan kana ba napunta pagiisip? Sa AMZ?” Mike said.
Napahaba ata ang daydream ko sa flashback na yun.
Anyway, since I’m the only son of my parents, (well I have a younger sister but I’m the only son) ay naging magkaka-close kami ng mga pinsan ko na si Gab, Mike and Uri. (Gabriel, Michael and Uriel for long).
We are like brothers from another mother.
Mike and Gab are twins and Uri is the only son. We’re on the same age range that is why we became close.
Si Mike ang may hilig din sa kotse tulad ko kaya naman pinag-tyatyagaan ko siyang business partner. Gab, he belongs to banking industy, mukhang pera kasi ‘to and Uri the youngest among us and he’s in Agricultural Industry.
Our parents named us obviously sa archangels, “Fortich Angels” sabi nga ng mga baliw na nanay namin.
Ang hindi nila alam na magkakaganito kami, di tuloy bagay mga pangalan namin sa personality namin na ubod ng babait, (insert sarcasm here)

“Good morning sir,” bungad ng secretary ko na si Cath habang kumakatok.
“Come in good morning din. So what’s for today” I replied.
“Good morning Cath, Coffee? Please?” Tanong ni Mike.
“Okay sir, pagtitimpla ko po kayo.” Sagot naman ng secretary ko.
“No I mean Coffee? Coffee as in, let’s have some coffee, my treat. Please” Sabi naman ng babaero kong pinsan.
“Hindi na po sir thank you, meron naman sa pantry” sabi ni Cath habang natatawa ako sa itsura ng pinsan ko.
“So what’s for today” I asked again.
“Sir, Ms. Trisha Cerys Velasco of AMZ wants to schedule a meeting with you. She reached out to us 2 days ago but I said sir “like what you said” na busy po kayo and walang available time to accommodate her request. She is calling us time to time and she said that this is an important matter and need to discuss it with you asap. Mapapasingit nyo po ba sya sa schedule nyo sir?” Cath said.
"Tell them that I am busy" sagot ko naman.
"Ok sir, noted po."
"Anything else? I asked her.
"None sir, ill go back to my station. If you need anything call me nalang po. Excuse me sir Raf, Sir Mike." She said.
"Mike nalang, drop the sir....coffee?" Sabay talikod ng secretary ko kay Mic at sinara ang pinto.
Tawang tawa naman ako sa pinsan ko ang aga aga pumuporma agad.
"So going back, bat ayaw mo kausapin yung tiga AMZ? Seryoso ba yang gusto mo idagdag sa release next week?" He asked me
"Bro, our competitor is now 1 step ahead to us in terms of innovation ng site nila. Di pwedeng mapag-iwanan tayo. Alam ko naman kaya nila yan gawin. AMZ people are one of the best in the industry. Kahit nga minsan pag pumupunta ako at nakikita kong walang ginagawa ibang employee doon, i know they can manage to provide quality applications." Sagot ko naman.
"Bat ka ba kasi nangengealam sa work nila. I know you. Lagi kang may input. May pinapabago. May pinapadagdag. Bro, I know you have idea on their work, bat di mo pansin na sobra naman bilis nung schedule mo?" Mike said in a serious tone.
"Like what i said, since our rival was so proud on their latest application, we need something to bringup next week Isasabay natin sa launch ng 1st motorcycle brand natin. We need to defeat our competitor in terms of public curiosity." I said.
"Talk to them wag mo takasan. Alam kong hindi mo sinasagot sila since ayaw mong magbago pa yang mga gusto mo gawin" he said.
"I'll think of it, pero buo na ang desisyon ko. I want that changes by hook or by crook"
"If you say so. Makakahanap ka din ng katapat sa pagiging ruthless mo bro." He said.
"That is not gonna happen" i replied to him.
Tinawagan ko si cath sa local phone nya at sinabi if someone from ANZ calls, i will be available by friday.
Mapapa-oo ko din naman sa gusto ko yan sabi ko sa isip ko.

"Agghhhh, di ko pa rin makausap yung tiga Fortich cars. Busy, busy. Busy nalang palagi" sabi ko kay Sean at Tin habang nagla-lunch kami.
"Ano plan mo besh?" Tin said na halatang nanghihina na. Kaw ba naman 3 hours ka nalang matulog daily ay hindi ka ba manghihina?
"Let's stick to our plan. Yung original plan. Pupuntahan ko nalang sila bukas. Pipilitin ko makausap yan. Jusko Lord, nakakastress!"
"Oi besh may pagsugod ka pa ngayon. Ibang office iniinvade mo na rin. Hahaha. Teka need ba natin mamli ng damit at magpa make-over?" Tin said.
Tawa ng tawa naman etong audience namin na si Sean.
"Gagi, ipaglalaban ko ang karapatang pantao natin! Hindi ako lalandi!" Sabi ko at tawang tawa naman sya
"And the big question is mapapayag mo kaya sya?" She said.
"I'll make him say yes to me!"
