Chapter 39

Jayda's POV

Andito ako ngayon sa office ng boss ko na nakaupo sa may couch kasi pinatawag niya ako regarding sa ginawa kong story kung i-a-approve o hindi.

"Now that I finished reading your storyline, may I ask if you're targeting those readers such teenagers that like stories like you created?" sambit ng boss ko na ikinangiti ko, reminscing what made me write this story.

"It's not like I wrote this story for readers like them, but instead...... I want to inspire....." sambit ko na nakangiti.

"What do you mean about you saying that you want to inspire?" tanong ng boss ko na ikinangiti ko.

"Since nowadays...... I know, you know, and we know..... that it's difficult to trust people around us...... kasi may naloloko, may nabubudol, may mga taong nagtetake advantage ng pagiging mabait ng mga kakilala nila..... and that's why it's hard to fall in love anymore with someone...... because the moment you become inlove, you may end up being hurt, being abandoned, and you may end up regretting na nafall ka sa mga taong hindi deserve ng pagmamahal mo..... to the point that you could only trust..... is yourself.....

I used to be someone who has fear in terms of falling in love.... kasi dalawang beses nakong nauwi sa one-sided love..... which became a barrier for me to be open regarding my feelings to someone who I fell in love with for the third time..... pero nung nagpaparamdam na siya sakin, nung binibigyan nya ko ng hint tungkol sa nararamdaman niya sakin, at nung umamin narin sya sakin at last, I gave myself a chance to break free with those hindrances that I myself created..... and ayun, kami na until now.....

What I meant to inspire people is ang sarap mainlove, lalo na pag nasa tamang tao ka.... and what I meant about what I said.... na hindi mo alam yung mangyayari sa mundo hanggang sa naranasan mo na siya..... that's why I wrote this story, a story about how my relationship goes with my boyfriend....." sambit ko na ikinangiti ng boss ko.

"And this is why I approve regarding the story you created....." sambit ng boss ko na ikinalaki ng mata ko.

"Talaga po, sir?!" tanong ko na ikinatango niya habang nakangiti.

"Yes, because you're not just targeting those readers, but you were just being yourself..... Writing a book is not just for readers, but instead, it's about expressing what you feel, and why you are creating this kind of story..... so what I want you to do is to revise if may nais kang ayusin sa book na ito and finalize your story because once you've finished it, this company would publish it right away." sambit niya na ikinangiti ko at tumayo na.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you po!" sambit ko habang nagba-bow sa kanya.

"Don't thank me.... because I'm thankful instead that I work with a writer like you...." sambit niya na ikinangiti ko.

"No wonder, ang swerte talaga ng boyfriend mo sayo!" dagdag niya na ikinangiti ko.

"No sir, I'm lucky to be his girlfriend kasi I am what I am right now.... because of him...." sambit ko na ikinangiti niya.

"You may now go home.... your office hours is over....." sambit niya na ikinangiti ko bago makipag-shake hands sa kanya.

"Goodbye po sir, and thank you!" sambit ko na ikinatango nya bago ako umalis ng office nya.

Nag-time out nako at niligpit ko na mga gamit ko at umalis na ng office.

Habang naglalakad paalis, kinuha ko cellphone ko at chinat si Darren bago ko ulit itago phone ko na nakangiti....

Hanggang sa nakarating nakong parking lot at pumasok na sa kotse ko para magdrive.
