He stood behind the cash register, preparing for the rush hour. Sa gilid niya nakatayo si Evelyn, ang in-charge sa counter, aalalayan siya nito ngayon na mag-asikaso. Ikatlong araw na ng pormal na pagtatrabaho niya rito at maayos naman ang nagiging takbo nito. He is yet to make a move, kailangan niya munang masiguro na hindi magiging kahina-hinala ang bawa’t galaw niya.
Artemis is currently cleaning tables; it seems to be her duty around the café. He tracked her every move, eyes following every movement.
“Magkakilala po kayo?” he heard Evelyn ask, it’s the first time she directly talked to him since his first duty. Naputol ang pagtingin niya kay Artemis nang bumaling siya rito. Bahagya niya lamang itong nilingon. She’s a petite girl, pretty eyes hidden behind big glasses, small nose and thin lips. Her head is the same level as his shoulders, kaya naman kinailangan niya pang yumuko nang bahagya.
