I could not believe that I almost lost my cellphone and wallet earlier today.
I had lunch with Ica. We opted for Jollibee because it is just across our building and we do not have to walk to Paseo Center, where Reyes Bbq was located which was our first choice and which is a 10-15 minute walk from our building, anymore. The establishment was packed with people by the time we entered the restaurant that is why we just decided to eat our ordered food in the floor's pantry.
Our floor's pantry is so small. Well, it can actually accomodate 10 standing people (or more if you would force it). But I can tell you that those 10 people would be extremely uncomfortable unless they are all friends. Anyway, a boss is then occupying the counter that time, leaving us with no choice but to sit on the two red chairs available. We then proceeded on sitting and eating our bought food, using our lap as our table. But after a few minutes and realizing that we could not really eat well on that position, Ica suggested for us to eat at the canteen located at the penthouse of the building.
It almost took us thirty minutes or so to finish our meal before getting back to our floor. Upon reaching my work station, I suddenly realized that I was not clutching my phone and wallet anymore. I really really got nervous! Who would not right?! I was actually half expecting for the worst and half hoping that I will still find those. I got so worried! I was already rehearsing my "nawalan po ako ng cellphone at wallet papa at mama" lines that time. I just had that phone last year and I got it as a graduation gift from my dad. It would be so embarrassing to tell him that I already lost it. I also have all my identification cards there, my PRC license and bank cards, which upon realization made me more worried and fidgety than ever. All because of my carelessness.
I backtracked. I had gone first to the penthouse and even compelled to check the trash that Ica and I left on the tray. The items were obviously not there. I knew that it was not there because I had never ever left my belongings in the canteen.
As I was waiting for the elevator to go down our floor, it suddenly occurred to me that I had placed my cellphone and wallet on the pantry's counter. I had vividly remembered putting it on top of the counter before seating on one of those red chairs. But lo and behold, my items were not there where I last put it! And to make matters worse, they are nowhere to be found inside the pantry.
There were only two possible scenarios for this event:
1. Somebody might have took and stole those.
2. Somebody might have took and kept those for safekeeping.
I was still trying to be hopeful that time but the idea that I may never actually find those again kept on bugging me. Good thing I still had the sanity to ask a colleague for help and he was more than willing to give it naman. Bait di ba?
But instead of going out and asking people around, he knowingly pulled and led me into one of the boss' cubicle. I was actually adamant that time. Why are we heading to a boss' cubicle when we have to find my lost items right NOW?! I thought "Putik naman tong si kuya To, nagagawa pang magloko e we have a serious business to deal with!" Haha. But as we got near the cubicle, I caught a glimpse of my beloved stuffs on top of the table and suddenly all my worries volatilized.
Thank God.
It turned out Sir Marvin got my stuffs and put those for safekeeping. He jokingly said that it may not seem like it but he had already whipped out all the money from my wallet. I jokingly told him that it was okay since there were no cash in there in the first place. True enough wala nga! Putik, pati yung snatcher malulungkot kung makita niyang 40 pesos lang laman ng wallet ko e! Anyway, I super thank you Sir Marvin! It also turned out that my colleagues had already known the whereabouts of my "missing" wallet and cellphone but did not inform me. Sarap batukan! Pinapahirapan pa ako! Nakakatawa nga namang mang-trip ng tao at mas nakakatawa kung putlang-putla na sa nerbyos yung tinitrip mo.
Well it was okay, I just laughed it off with them afterwards. I know I will also get my revenge in the near future. Bwahaha! Lagot kayo!
