"Kailangan mo ba talagang umalis, Ate?"
Kirk asked the same question for the umpteenth time since he found out that I'm moving next week to Cebu City for my new job.
"Little Bro, I already said yes to the job offer. I already signed the contract. Nagpa-medical na rin ako at nagpasa ng requirements," I told him as I put some of my things inside a large box.
"Eh bakit kailangang doon ka pa magtrabaho? Hindi ka naman sa Cebu nag-apply, diba?"
"Sa Manila kasi ang main office nila pero sa branch ang job assignment. May branches sila sa Makati, Pampanga, Tagaytay at sa Cebu," I explained.
"Eh di sa Makati ka na lang, doon ka sa malapit para gaya noong dati na umuuwi ka tuwing gabi," he suggested.
"Sa Cebu kasi may vacant position, Kirk."
He heaved a sigh of frustration, looking defeated.
