"What? Are you out of your mind? Who cares about the damage it will do, it's best for the company and we'll get a lot of benefits from it. If we back out now, we will lose a lot of money! What?!"
Today is like any other day. My boss shouting didn't bother me anymore like it did than when I first got here. I guess, they're arguing again for like 5th day in a row now since Monday. If you are to ask me what do I think about it, I agree to what his partner is saying. We can't just think about our selves and our personal gain and ignore the people around us. To think na hindi pa sila pure blooded Filipino disgusts me. At ano namang ginagawa ng mga pulitiko dito sa Pilipinas? How can they gave them business permits without thinking carefully the consequences and the inconvenience it will bring to the Filipino Citizens?
"Are you threatening me right now?!" he shouted again and threw his phone and landed in the carpet. He called for his assistant while our group waited patiently. I officially joined this team just recently in this underground organization but we were trained for years: physically, mentally, even linguistically - if there's even a word like that. I didn't have the privilege to study here, but they educate me there. I already consider them as my family. We originally came from Thailand, where we are trained but I'm a Filipino as well as our leader but others are either Filipino, Chinese or Thai. Nung mga panahon na palaboy laboy na ko sa kalsada at walang makain, nakilala ko ang leader namin at siya ang nag recruit sakin pagkatapos nun sa Thailand na kami naka base for 4 years.
To make it simpler in words, we supply drugs. Pero sa tingin ko hindi about dun kaya kami nandito ngayon dito.
"คุณคิดว่าเขาต้องการอะไร?" (What do you think he wants?) I asked Boo-Nam.
"เงียบ. " (Quiet.) he responds.
Finally he turned his attention to us and we bowed paying respect.
"I only need you to do one thing. Find the key to the safe. No matter what happens."
Kung iisiping mabuti, napaka simple lang naman ng hinihingi niya. Pero sino bang makakapagsabi na dahil sa simpleng susi na yon ay maraming buhay ang masisira?
