Love Next Door

New Beginnings

SAMANTHA'S POV

One month.

One month of love and genuine happiness.

Hindi ko inakala na sa buong buhay ko, makakatagpo ako ng ganitong klaseng pag-ibig.

Sabi ng iba swerte daw si Alyssa sakin. Sabi rin naman ng iba, swerte ako sa kanya.

Yun nga lang, we both don't believe in luck.

We believe in the power of choice and love.

Dahil swertehin man o hindi, sigurado akong sa kahit anong panahon at pagkakataon, pipiliin at pipiliin namin ni Ly ang pagmamahal para sa isa't isa.

And I think that's better than luck. Maybe even better than destiny.

Okay tama na. First month palang may pang wedding vow na agad HAHAHAHAHA.

PHONE CALL

Ang ganda ng simula ng araw ko pero mukhang may maninira na naman agad.

Boss: Good morning, Samantha.

Kung pwede lang hindi sagutin, hindi ko na sinagot.

Samantha: Good morning po.

Lunes na lunes at napaka aga, tatawag agad. Para namang hindi ako makikita sa trabaho mamaya.

Boss: How many times do I have to tell to you to cut the po? You're 3 years older than me.

Samantha: Boss po kita. Automatic dapat may po bilang respeto na rin.

Boss: You know what? Nevermind. I just called to tell you that the job application for our company's main branch in Boston will be open starting this Wednesday. I heard that you and SamPan wanted to try to apply.

Samantha: You heard it from who?

Samantha: -Po.

Ihinabol ko talaga yung po, baka kasi pag hindi na ako gumamit, akalain niya close na kami.

Boss: From SamPan herself. She also said na ikaw talaga ang naghihintay ng opportunity na 'to dati pa. Lucky for the both of you, hindi lang isa ang matatanggap. Tatlo yung ipapadala ng company natin next year.

Samantha: What month or date po exactly?

Boss: Nothing's final yet but the earliest would be June 2022, half a year from now.

Samantha: Okay, thank you po.

Boss: Bakit parang ayaw mo na?

Samantha: What?

Boss: You don't seem that much excited about it compared to last month.

Oh tingnan mo nga naman. Sabi na nga ba, laging nasa amin ang mata nito sa office kaya kami rin palagi ang iniinis.

Samantha: Siguro dahil bagong gising lang po. 5:30am palang po kasi. 8:00am pa naman talaga start ng work.

Boss: Oh.

Oh ka dyan.

Boss: I'm sorry for waking you up and bothering you this early.

Wow ang bait ata today?

Boss: Maybe I'll just annoy you again at work later. Just kidding, see you!

Aminado pa?

Nagbiro pa, hindi naman kami close.

Hay eto na, kakalma na po ako kasi at least good news naman ang hinatid niya na balita.
