Kapitel 17: Getting Occupied (1)
Daryle had been training for the past two weeks in different ticket booths under different superiors. At the end of two short weeks, she can already close her eyes and punch in the ticket stubs the kilometers of different stops. An ordinary trainee would take atleast four to six months to hold a puncher and punch a number expertly with guides provided.
Although she was quite entertained at work, the real situation still lingers on the moment she steps at home. She would bury herself with her reviewers but she found them all boring. She would just play her phone when she didnt find any challenging things in her reviewer. But everytime she takes her phone, she could not help but browse her gallery. She would stare those shots she took of him after their last dinner together. She couldn't help but cry again and again.
It is one of those nights that she was feeling lost and alone that she wondered if she will ever love again. Only time can tell but as for this moment, she feels she has lost everything. The only man who awakened her heart to love left her just when she decided to open up and love unconditionally. She achieved the highest academic recognition in school but her heart was not into it. This was her fear. What will she do after graduation? Would she live to fulfill somebody else's wish? Would she be happy doing everything that everyone around her demands of her? What about her own dreams? What will she.do with her life now that she is considered an adult? She can be independent now! Finally!!! But the fear of not knowing how to decide for her own good makes her shrink in uncertainty.
Daryle laid flat on her bed with her book on one hand and her phone on the other. She suddenly didn't know where she is headed to. What a joke that she just randomly applied for a job without considering much about the future. Perhaps, she can also just marry a random guy whoever she might encounter. She is nirt sure if she can love again but that doesn't matter. 'As long as it is my own decision' she heard herself whispering.
"No one will dictate my decision from now on." She gritted her teeth as she recalled her life.
She was in that state when her phone blinked few times. She thought it was one of her classmates trying to check on her.
[Miss Daryle Duran, this is Vince. I heard your very outstanding performance at work. I was not mistaken for hiring you. Will you be willing to be transferred to the Capital City branch next week?]
Daryle's eyes widened as she read the message. She didn't reply immediately. Few minutes later, a call came from same number.
It was her Big Boss Vince calling her. 'Why does he have to directly call me when there are departments heads assigned for this job?'she wondered.
After a few more rings, Daryle pressed the answer key amd said hello lazily.
" Hello Ms. Duran, did I disturb you? Are you asleep?" The manly voice came from the phone.
"No, no, not yet sir. Anything I can do for you?" She said, sounding bored.
Meanwhile in the other side of the line, Vince was in his study room staring at his laptop. There was a pressing need to increase his units to and from the Capital City. This means he needed to expand his bus station also.
Daryle's performance for the past two weeks has been record breaking. 'It must be too boring for her to do this job! Most probably, she needs a tougher and more complicated work!' he thought. The thing is, she applied for the position of a ticket teller and she was suppose to do that for six months. He was afraid she would refuse to be transferred to another position if he didn't explain things personally. He called her after failing to get a reply of his text message.
He heard her voice again. It was the same soft and smooth to the ears. He didn't understand how he is feeling every time he hears her voice. Although this time,she sounded a bit off. Maybe she is tired and sleepy. Nevertheless,he needs to talk to her.
"Ms. Duran, I was considering your potential as an employee. Although you applied as a ticket teller, would you consider doing other task besides that?" He asked.
Daryle held her phone to her ear and sat up on her bed. "Other tasks such as?" He asked back.
"Well, I am needing more manpower at the Capital City Branch. If you would be willing to do some secretarial job for me. You will get the full pay of a teller and at the same time be fully paid as my secretary in that branch. Don't worry, I'll fix the most convenient schedule for your duty." He said deliberately not giving much time for her to object.
"Sir Vince, for how long? I remember you said you'll only give me six months." She said. And there again, someone is trying to manipulate her to his advantage! She realized after her words came out.
"I told you it will be depending on you after six months is over. Now, are you willing to take it?" He asked again. " Free food and accommodation for you there by the way, the company has employees' quarters there." he added quickly.
"Sir Vince.." She paused not certain whether she should continue to speak her mind or not.
