Do I have to wake up early for you?

July 20, 2022

I got a call at 5:30 am yesterday. I was puzzled as it was my boss. She calls me but she rarely does it when I'm at home. I thought it must have been something urgent. She might want me to do something immediately. I paused and contemplate. She's like a boyfriend because she's the one who greeted me in the morning. She also makes my heart pound too. Like real pound out from anxiety. Pound because of nervousness. What might have been the purpose of her call? I waited and procrastinated. Spend another five minutes in my bed. Not minding the time. I know I won't be late.

Three minutes, my phone rang again. She got me this time. I've tried escaping here but to no avail. She informed me that I got to accompany the more boss at a speaking engagement. Ow wow. And we have to leave in thirty minutes. She knows how I quiver at the sound of that boss' name but still, she urged me to do the job. Hays. I followed because that's what I'm paid for. Deep inside my heart is jumping at the same time, I love to be in close contact with her. I love to be influenced by her aura, wit, and poise. Oh, I just love everything about her that I have aspired to be like her. That's the wildest dream that I've ever had.

We waited for her at her abode. She was just preparing. See. She made us hurry only for us to wait. Such a boss move. I don't mind the waiting game though as she is a very important person. Plus I get to see a glimpse of her wonderful mansion. I got nostalgic while viewing the clear blue sea from her terrace. that's the same water I used to drench my body with months ago. Long before my best friend moved to his grandma's place.

I have met her lovely granddaughter too. What a peppa pig she is. Like my niece, she's so talkative and curious. I bid goodbye when the boss came out from the back door. Until now, I'm still star-struck when she is a few steps away from me. We hit the road at 8 in the morning, there and then, I discovered a lot about my workplace as she made a lot of phone calls in different offices. Ow wow. I heard she eats problems for breakfast. What an alpha woman she is. That's the best thing I admire about her.

We didn't spend a lot of time there. We bid goodbye the moment she finished providing inspiration and taking photos. Off we go for her small meetings at the workplace.

I sat in the front seat, so the very important person would be safe just in case we get into an accident. Haha.

Sharing with you, some clicks on our way to the workplace. Everything is calm and warm. This is the waters of Southern Leyte reminding me to be calm and not wary. Instances like this make me generate an extra grateful heart because of the job I got. It may not be high-paying. But it is surely wonderful that I love to stay here. But bills don't get paid by my love for my job, my passion won't pay my bills. So, off I venture to another unfamiliar world. Soon, when God says it's already my time. I will be there. Won't be here anymore. So, I'll treasure every day I have in my job. I will love my work until it's time for me to leave so there would be no regrets about not giving my all.

Soon after, when I get there to where I'm destined to be, I hope I'll be as passionate, as dedicated and as inspired as I imagined myself to be. I hope I won't disappoint anybody. I hope God will prepare me for what I'm praying for.
