Villanueva Series #2: Love's Fatal Twist

CHAPTER 25

Nagising ako 'dahil sa malalakas na katok nang pintuan ng kwarto ko.

"Tita? ang aga aga nambubulabog ka!"

"Hey, unang araw mo ngayon? remember. Honey?"

"Oh right, I forgot it's my first day today" I mumbled, as I sat up on the bed.

"It's so early" I said, as I stretched my body and rubbed my eyes with my hands.

"Calista, mag ready kana in tweenty minutes, kailangan ka na sa kumpanya"

"Tita, eh pag sasabon ko pa lang 'yang tweenty minutes, baka naman oh one hours? kasi gagawin ko pa 'yung make-up, aa--"

"Shut up, okay fine."

I rolled my eyes and sighed, knowing that it was pointless to argue with my tita.

"One hour then" I said, sitting up on the bed. "I'll get ready as soon as possible."

I spent some time showering and getting dressed. I then started to do my make-up, being very careful to make sure that it was perfect and that nothing went wrong.

After some time, I was finally ready and I stepped out of my room and headed downstairs. Nakasuot lang ako nang silk blouse and tailored pants, inilugay at ikinulot ko naman sa ibaba ang buhok ko na kulay light ash blonde, dahil nag pa-kulay ako nakaraang buwan.

When I walked out into the house, I could see my tita sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee. She looked up at me and smiled.

"You look beautiful Calista, are you ready?" She said, as she took another sip of her coffee.

""Yes, I think so" I replied, as I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. "I just need to put on my heels and I'll be all set" I said, as I went over to my closet to grab my heels.

"Are you excited about your first day of work?" My tita ask, while she was finishing up her coffee.

"Kabado, pero kaya naman siguro."

"Sigurado ka ba na kaya mo pag sabayin 'yang dalawang responsibilities mo, attorney. Ikaw 'din ang CEO nang kumpanya?!"

"Oo naman, tita." Saad ko sakaniya na nakangiti

Nang masuot ko na ang aking mga heels, naramdaman ko ang isang damdaming excitement at kaba na muli akong binabalot. Ito ang unang araw ko sa trabaho, at nais kong magbigay ng magandang impresyon.

When I was all set, I walked over to my tita and said goodbye. She wished me luck and gave me a hug, and then I was off.

I took a deep breath and stepped outside, the morning air filling my lungs with a sense of freshness. I could see the sun rising up, and I felt even more nervous as I walked towards my car.

After a quick drive, I arrived at the building. I took another deep breath before stepping inside. I was officially starting my work life as a CEO of this company. What a great.

Naramdaman ko kung paano ang lahat nang empleyadang nadadaanan ko ay pinag titinginan ako. Never pa ako pumunta rito. Dahil nangako ako sa sarili ko na gagawa ako nang sarili kong pangalan sa business world, pero dahil wala na ang daddy, siguro itataguyod at ipag papatuloy ko na lamang ang nasimulan niya.

"Good morning ma'am, I'm ariyala Quilan, your secretary, this is jaia Merañez the undersecretary. Welcome ma'am"

"Welcome po" Saad nung undersecretary saakin. Hindi ko sila pinansin gusto ko maging mataray ngayon

I walked past them without even acknowledging their presence. I wanted to appear as confident and authoritative as possible, especially during my first day.
