Finding Me In You

09 Full-time

Kiran Lin

"Good morning!" bati ni Kyer nang makapasok ako sa café. She was busy preparing the tools at the coffee bar.

I greeted back with a wave and said, "Morning."

"Kiran, mabuti at maaga kang pumasok. I forgot to explain things to you yesterday dahil sa pagod. Sorry about that." Iza na kasalukuyang nilalagyan ng creamer, sugar at iba pang extras ang condiment organizer.

"It's okay, you can tell me what I should do for now then you can explain things later after the day." sabi ko habang pinapasok ang mga gamit ko sa locker. I quickly changed into the café uniform at sinuot ang kulay autumn brown na apron.

"You can help with the serving, tables, and the dishwashing area." ani Iza nang matapos ako sa pagbibihis. "Copy." I said at sinimulan munang ayusin ang mga upuan at table saka pinunasan.

"Yo guys!" bati ni Mikaela. "Hindi ba ako late?" tanong niya. Why ask that the first thing in the morning? It's still 6:00 am and the opening time is 8:00 am.

I heard Dyen snicker, "Ayaw mo lang tumulong sa paglilinis mamaya." I guess I'll ask about that later.

"Good morning!" sunod na pumasok ay si Yivie. She's not a worker here but I guess she's here to read books. Halata naman dahil sa hawak niyang paper bag na may libro na nakapaloob.

Hindi na ako nag abala pa sa mga sumunod na pumasok dahil dumiretso na ako sa kitchen upang tumulong kay Iza sa pagp-prepara ng nga gamit, since wala pa namang customer.

Ilang minuto ang lumipas nang pumasok si Dyen at sinabing hinahanap ako ng manager. Agad akong sumunod at nakita itong nakaupo sa pang-isahan na table sa pinakliblib na area ng cafe. Wierd din ba itong manager nila?

"Good morning ma'am. Ako po iyong bagong nirecruit ni Iza." Tinignan niya ako habang ngumunguya ng bubble gum. Dang, is this really their manager?

"Oh. Kiran Lin, right? It's okay, I'm here to talk about you. Can you work full-time?" she said with a straight face. Akala ko ay part-time ang kailangan nila.
But I'm broke and I don't want to use dad's money.

Hindi ko alam kung gusto niya akong kausapin o tinatamad siyang kausapin ako dahil sa tingin na binibigay niya.

I hid my confusion and smiled, "Of course ma'am." I guess I'll have to explain to Dad later.

Pinatong niya ang siko sa table at nakadekwatrong umupo. Putek, babae ba talaga 'to? Anong klaseng cafe ba ang napasukan ko at ang wierd ng mga tao?

"Okay, then. I'm Bliss. The manager of this cafe." she offered her hand and smiled lazily.
