Velt
"Hayy.... Mabuti ka pa mop, nahahawakan ko, pwede ko pang maisayaw..."
"Problema pare?" Tanong ko kay Paul, mukha na namang timang eh.
"Oh? Kanina ka pa ba diyan? Buti naman nakapasok ka ngayon."
"Pag talaga dumating si Miss at nakitang iyang busangot mong mukha, patay ka talaga."
"Mas mabuti na ngang mamatay."
Aba't anong nangyayari sa taong to?
*pak* "Aray ko naman Velt!"
"Hm, gising ka na ba?"
"Eto naman, nag sesenti ako eh, wala ka talagang support."
"Tigilan mo ko Paul, mukha kang timang."
"Psh!"
"Ano ba kasing nangyari? Huwag mo sabihin may crush ka na din? Pfft."
"Wow ha, nahiya naman ako sayo 'tol, ikaw lang ba may karapatang magmahal at umibig?"
"Paul umayos ka nga... Nagiging engot ka na."
"Pare naman! Masama ba ha? Masama bang tumingala sa kanya? Masama bang humingi ng kahit isang sulyap man lang mula sa kanya?"
"Sino ba iyan?"
*chime sound*
"Welcome ma'am, how may I help---
"Actually I'd like to have milk tea lang.. Uhm, take out sana?."
" ......."
"Uh, excuse me?" "Hello??"
Naku, natulala na si Paul.
"Uh, apologies for that ma'am, I think my friend here doesn't feel well. Would it be alright if I take his place instead?"
"Sure, no problem. But if he is not feeling well, you have to report it to Elvie. My brother wouldn't like it if any one of you here gets sick."
Huh? Kilala niya si Miss?
"Ah-I don't think I kno-"
"Oh! Miss Teresa! How wonderful of you to come and visit."
Wait, nag bow si Miss Elvie sa kanya.
"I'm sorry Miss, when you were away, we've had new adjustments and recruits as well."
Hah?!
