Chasing Heartaches (Shattered Pieces Series #1)

Chapter 31

Life

I need to start to find a part-time job to have money for next school year. I already told Tryne about this, he was not against it at all. Gusto ko nga sana na sa cafe na lang ulit ako kung saan ako nagtrabaho last year pero mukhang hindi sila tumatanggap ng part-time this year.

So I decided to search on the internet. Sa panahon kasi ngayon lahat na makikita sa internet. You can even find a job and apply there.

I saw that Liverary was on hire, the cafe with a library that Tryne and I visited last time.

Nagbihis ako agad, kinuha ko ang maliit na bag ko na lagayan ng pera at wallet. Binitbit ko na rin ang kailangang mga papeles para ipasa sa Liverary. Nakalagay naman sa post nila ang requirements.

"Tryne, I'm gonna leave now," I said and kissed his cheeks. He flinched a little like he didn't expect my sudden move. He was currently sitting on the couch while watching. His coffee was placed on the table.

"Hey!" He looked at me in shock, caressing his face.

"You didn't like that?" I teased.

"I love it!" He smiled widely. "I'm going to give you a ride. Wait here," sabi niya at lumakad papuntang kusina. He drops his coffee cup in the sink. Mabilis siyang lumapit sa akin at hinawakan ako sa baywang.

"Where are we going?" He asked while giving my head kisses.

"I'm going to apply in the Liverary for a part-time job. I need to work for money." I smiled widely at him. He smiled too, looking so proud of me.

Binuksan ko ang pinto ng condo at nauna ng lumabas. I opened his car door and sit comfortably in the shotgun seat.

"Seatbelts," sabi niya nang makapasok na at nakaupo na sa driver seat.

Iniayos ko ang seatbelt ko pagkayari ay ko inayos ang mga papeles na dala. I checked it for the last time para malaman ko kung may kulang ba sa mga papers.

"I'll wait for you." Ipinarada niya ang sasakyan sa tapat ng Liverary.

"No. You should go now." He still needs to work on their company. Sinabi niya kanina sa akin kung ano ang kondisyon ng Mama niya, she wants him to work at their business while he was on a school break. He said that he will be the one who will inherit their business and he is going to practice his skills as early as possible.

"You sure?" He asked. I nodded and smiled at him to convince him. He should go now, hindi ko rin kasi alam kung anong oras ako mayayari sa interview.

"Bye then," he said.

I opened the door and wave my hands to bid goodbye to him.

"Ingat!" I said before closing the door.

I was currently sitting in front of the mid-thirties lady, binabasa niya ngayon ang mga papel na dala ko. Nakakunot ang kaniyang noo habang nagbabasa. Hindi ba ako matatanggap? Yari na akong interview-hin at confident ako sa sagot ko.

"Thank you. We will call you later," sabi nung babaeng nag interview sa akin. I gave her a sweet smile before standing up. I also told her my thank you before leaving the room.

Paglabas ko sa office ay bumungad sa akin ang shelves ng mga libro. I let my hand pass through the books on the nearest shelf. Nang nasa bungad na ako ay nagulat ako nang makita ko si Windy na nakaupo sa lapag sa pagitan ng dalawang shelves. There's a black blanket on her lap, her coffee was placed on her side. Nakakunot ang kaniyang noo habang nagbabasa. She sipped on her coffee slowly as she turns the book pages.

Napunta ang tingin niya sa gawi ko, siguro ay napansin niyang may nakatingin sa kaniya. She smiled at me, her eyes were also smiling. Sa unang tingin mo palang sa ngiti niya ay malalaman mo ng hindi iyon peke. And like the last time I saw her, I didn't know what to do. I was torn... so torn if I am going to smile back or just go and ignore her.
