HEARTBEAT #01
CAIAH's POV
I massage my temple after comparing the two things in front of me. I still can't decide what to choose from the both of them since they're both taste good
I sigh heavily. I didn't knew that picking food could be this hard. I look at my left. It's a seafood cup noodles while on the right is a beef flavor
I look at my cabinet with only one food left. It's a canned sardines. I want to choose that but I don't know how to cook rice
Now I'm regretting of not going to grocery last day. Noong isang araw pa dapat ang schedule ko ng pag-grocery but something unexpected happened
My laziness happens and I'm completely and miserably regretting it now. But I didn't know that choosing food from a few could be this hard since I'm used of getting spoiled by my agent
She used to be the one who's bringing my grocery here. And take note, not just grocery but everything I needed in my everyday life to the point that I wouldn't need to go out. Not that I don't want it. I actually really really love it since I'm not that type of person who likes to interact with others. In short, I'm socially awkward
I'm still thinking of what to do when my phone suddenly rung. My forehead creased when I saw that it was Lei, my agent. I thought she was out of the country with her husband?
I remain silent as I answer her call, waiting for her to speak
"Where are you?" She ask
"Usual" I answered in a flat tone
I heard her sigh heavily on the other line. I don't know why? Maybe because of frustration? She's been telling me to go out and have a social life ever since I met her, which by the way is 6 years ago. So yeah. She's been bugging me to go out and see the sunlight for 6 years. And I do know how frustrated she is until now
Who wouldn't? But can someone blame me? I've been alone for many years yet I manage to enjoy my life. I don't need anyone who can make my life colorful or should I say... complicated. I'm okay with black and white. Don't need to put a strange color 'cause it will just mess up my own art which is by the way, my own life
"When will you seriously take my advice? Caiah, you also need to have friends or acquaintance. Di ka naman habang buhay na lang magkukulong sa loob ng bahay mo. You need to enjoy your life. Stop hiding yourself. Paano ka na lang sa mga panahon na ganito, na wala ako sa tabi mo?" She sounded like a teacher who's giving lesson to her dear student who continuously breaking all the rules
"I can take care of myself. I thought you're in Italy with Ian" I said, dismissing the topic
She sigh for the second time, giving up
"I'm worried about you so I decided to just cut our trip.. " I frown and was about to scold her when she cut me off "and! Ian also needed in his company so we really needed to go back home"
I sigh. Lei treated me like her little sister ever since we met. She takes care of me and always trying to talk to me kahit na minsan ay puro tango at iling lamang ang nagiging sagot ko sa kanya noon. She really give her best to make me trust her and she succeeded
I witnessed her love story with Ian, her husband. They maried each last year. Ian is a CEO of a distellary company so I thought Lei would resign to her job of being an agent to me and focus to be a lovely wife to her husband. I'm actually ready to set her free since it's also for her happiness. But she didn't. Instead, she told me that she'll never resign to her job as my agent as long as I'm still writing and that actually made me moved
