Chapter 1

"Ellaine!"

Napailing ako nang may tumawag sa akin. Naalala ko na naman ang huling mga araw ko sa bahay. And I'm about to reminisce again.

"Ellaine Felidad!" Napatingin ako sa paligid at narealize ko na si Miss Liza pala ang tumatawag sa akin. Naku po, thirty minutes na sermon na naman ito. "I need you here!"

Si Miss Liza kasi ang magiging supervisor ko kapag naprocess na ang pagiging member ko sa isang company team daw. Hindi pa n'ya sinasabi sa akin, eh. Baka raw kasi bigla akong magback-out kapag sinabi sa akin ang said company team. Kaya sa ngayon daw, I am her secretary.

Nang makarating na ako sa door ng office ni Miss Liza, may something hologram na nagflash sa harap ng pinto n'ya at hindi na ako nagulat. May dalawang buwan na kasi akong nandito at hanggang ngayon, wala pa tin ang ipinangako nilang company team. Ilinagay ko ang right thumb ko doon at bumukas ang pinto habang may naririnig akong, "trusted person, please enter."

As usual, si Miss Liza, nakaupo sa kanyang black na upuan at nakatalikod sa pinto. Feeling daw n'ya kasi big boss s'ya kapag ganoon. Inikot n'ya ang upuan n'ya at nakita ko si Miss Liza na nagbabasa ng mga papeles. Naalala ko nga si Miss Nina eh.

"Oh, you're here," ang sabi n'ya sa akin at alam kong ang pinto ay sarado na. "One and a half minute earlier than usual."

Yumuko ako kasi baka may sermon na naman s'ya. Sasabihin n'ya, "dapat ang kilos mabilis, malinis," na never n'yang nakakalimutang sabihin sa isang araw.

"A-ano po ba yung binabasa n'yo?"

"About you."

"Po?"

"I said it. About you."

Pinaupo n'ya ako sa navy blue chair na nasa harap ng table n'ya, office arrangement. Binigay n'ya rin sa akin ang papel at kahit hindi ko pa mabasa ang unang word, nagsalita na agad s'ya.

"I'm about to sign it but would you agree?"

Binasa ko nang maigi ang content ng mga papeles at mukhang willing namang maghintay si Miss Liza hanggang sa matapos ko ang mga papel na ito. Ang unang page ay naglalaman ng mga Company Teams.

Atmos Team
Company team which is responsible of determining what is the weather for tomorrow, or even for the year. This company team actually helps NASA with the cause of our modern technology. Thus, NASA is prevented to be in the main office of Minovmatt, instead, the Atmos Team Representatives will be the one assigned to keep good communication with the government. They are also the one responsible for helping the air pollution lessen. They are having their team station in the stratosphere.

Hydro Team
Hydro Team ensures the safety of species within the hydrosphere safe. The global warming is a part of their responsibility since the glaciers that nearly melt nowadays are part of the hydrosphere. They are having their team stations in the West Philippine Sea and in the Pacific Ocean, under the sea level.

Geo Team
The Geosphere is the focus of this team. They utilize the natural resources that may come into scarcity if not used properly. These natural resources doesn't include plants. Thus, they only include the non-living or symbiotic factors here on Earth. They have their Team Station at the nearest forest from Minovmatt Incorporated.

Bio Team
This Bio Team ensures the population of trees that might run out these years. This company team is also responsible for any concern about the health of every biotic factors in the biosphere. They are handling their station at the Biotic Hospital.

Constell Team
Constell Team came from the word 'Constellation' that means pattern of stars in the night sky. This team is different in a way that they are responsible not in Earth. Instead, they are responsible where the Earth is included, the space. They have the highest risk. The technology has been high enough for them to explore the universe more than anyone did.

Einst Team
They always work with everybody else in all the teams. This team is composed of scientists. They list data that are for Science Education. Their new discoveries are really helpful. They have their laboratory in Minovmatt.

Central Team
This Team is the widest of them all. They have the control in every team that concerns every matter in this dimension. They control with their minds in a way that is connotation and denotation.

Napatingin ako kay Miss Liza dahil natapos ko na ang first page at puno na agad ang utak ko. She nodded and smiled.

"Read the next one."

"Sige po."

"And by the way, the Central Team is able to use telekinesis."

Natulala ako dahil sa sinabi n'ya. Parang sa Central Team ako mapupunta kasi nakontrol ko yung bato dati pero ang gusto ko sa Einst, Constell, o kaya Bio Team. Anyway, kapag nasa Central ako, may control akong tingnan ang lahat ng Team.

As I turned the next page, an agreement is there, to be signed by Miss Liza. I looked up to her, who smiled at me more like a male than a female. She muttered na hindi ko na halos marinig.

"Po?" I asked in confusion kasi hindi ko talaga narinig. Parang may sinabi lang s'yang one plus one equals two.

She smirked and pointed at the paper:

This is to be signed by the Central Team supervisor,

"Is there any mark of my name?" She started na parang may sermon about time wasting na naman (I shook my head to what she'd said). "And it means it's not me - anymore."

"Anymore?" My second question about this just came out of the corner of my mouth.

"Yeah - and perhaps, you know it now."

"Eh?"

She let out a small chuckle na medyo naguluhan ako lalo. Unpredictable kasi talaga ngayon.

"It - simply - means - about - you!" She then gave me back the questioned look I was wearing. "YOU - ELAINE - FELIDAD - WILL - BE - THE - NEXT - SUPERVISOR - OF - THE - WIDEST - TEAM - THE - CENTRAL - TEAM!"

She smiled at me as if she was going to retire. I think less than this. Wala pa nga akong gaanong alam dito sa Minovmatt at promoted agad ako. This is absurd.
