READY TO TAKE A CHANCE AGAIN

Chapter Three - The survivors

Luke's Point of View:

My god, who is that girl na may lakas ng loob na sagutin ako ng ganoon.

No one ever dared na pahiyain ako o pagtaasan ng boses except my Dad na wala ng nakita kundi ang kamalian ko.

At talagang siya pa itong nanigaw at nagalit e siya itong bumangga sa akin!?

The fuck,she even said kung may regla ako anu yun? Nakakain ba yon? Malalagot sakin ang hampas lupang babae na yon...

I admit na napaka babaw ng dahilan ko para magalit ng husto sa kaniya, mainit kasi ang ulo ko when I left home.

It was because of my Dad, nag-away nanaman kami after he found out that Im skipping work for the past few days because of my barkada and my girlfriend Caroline.

Lagi kasi akong napupuyat, Caroline loves to party and Im addicted to her so I have to join her crowd kahit na ayoko ng maraming tao. Kaya naman mainit ang ulo ko kanina.

I can't remember kung kelan nagsimula na hindi na kami magkasundo ng Daddy.

I can still remember na ang saya ng family namin, everyday was family day with Mom and Jake, my one and only younger brother.

Then the accident happened, Dad and I survived the car accident.

I don't really want to remember that last 10 yrs awful memory of my past, it hurts ---- a lot, losing my Mom and Jake and now I feel more alone than ever knowing my Dad doesnt seem to care about me anymore.

No matter how I tried being a good son, I am no better man.

Laging mali at selfish, and so I woke up one day na ginawa ko na talaga ang lahat ng bagay na ginawa ko raw sabi ng Daddy.

Ang maging conceited, self-centered at irresponsible, laging nakasinghal sa mga empleyado at mainit ang ulo.

I called Beth to look for Angie para ipatawag mamaya ang magaling na babae na sumigaw at tumulak sakin, magbabayad sakin ang empleyadong chubaboy na yun.

"Sir Luke? Beth said that you are looking for me?", Angie knocked into my office.

"Come in, Angie who is that employee?", derecho kong tanong sa kaniya.

"Sino pong employee Sir?", maang niyang sagot.

"Don't give me that stupid answer, you know kung sino ang tinutukoy ko!", pasinghal kong sabi sa kanya, "I need her files go get it now!"

"Yes sir" sabi nya.

Saglit lang at naibigay nya na sakin ang employee file ni Miss Jessica Glenn Gonzales, and look at that!

Today is her regularization day.

Tingnan mo nga naman ang pagkakataon...

Yari ka saking babae ka.

Tanggalin ko kaya siya sa trabaho, i'll have beth send her termination letter.

No no no, that will be a lot easier, madali lang siya makakahanap ng trabaho, and I am impressed my Dad recommended her to be the IT Head. It can't be!

Ang chubaboy na yun? Hindi halata na matalino siya ha, and besides Dad isn't usually recommending just a new employee na maging head lang basta basta.

She is the first one that Dad recommended to excel right away, to think na baguhan pa ang babaeng to sa pagiging IT Help Desk and now magiginh IT head agad!

There is something about that girl, kailangan kong malaman kung anong meron sa kaniya.

Kaya ba malakas ang loob ng babaeng yun na sagutin at ipahiya siya dahil may koneksyon siya kay daddy?

I know how exactly what to do with her...
