Fixing A Broken Heart [Completed]

C1. Ang Desperada

Justine's POV

Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na akong napabuga ng hangin. Naiinis na ako.

Hindi na ako nakaalis sa Chapter 3 ng bagong novel na sinusulat ko! I definitely know the scene. I exactly know what should be the outcome. But the heck of it, parang may kulang. Parang may something missing. And I really can't pinpoint that.

Tumayo na ako at sinara ang screen ng Macbook ko. I grabbed my phone and dialled.

Dialling Prei Vidanes.....

Mga nakalimang ring siguro bago sagutin.

" Hey witchy! Wazz up! Anong atin? "

" I can't write. " maktol ko.

" Pssh. Writer's block ba? Ice cream lang katapat nyan. "

" No. I don't think this is WB. But it's something more and I can't even fathom it. "

Narinig kong bumuntong hininga naman si Prei sa kabilang linya.

" Girl, magkita na lang tayo sa Cafe La Vista. Para mabatukan kita in person. "

" Arayt! I'll be there in a moment. Ligo lang ako. Bye Bitchy Prei! Laters baby! "

And we ended the call.

And I'm thanking the angels above for giving me my BFF for this kind of scenes in my life. Gosh!

**********************

I sipped my favorite strawberry - caramel Frappe and looked to her bored face.

" Jus, normal lang na nabablanko kapag nagsusulat. Why panick agad? " she rolled her eyes and took a sip of her frappe.

" Tch. Hindi nga kasi yun eh. Alam kong may kulang. Hindi ko lang alam kung ano. " nakanguso kong sabi.

" Pabasa nga ng ginawa mo?" she said irritated.

Binuksan ko naman ang Macbook ko at binigay sa kanya. And she started reading it. She's a writer like me pero more of Action-Romance or Sci-fi ang forte nya. Unlike me, purely romance lang sakin wala nang halong ka-echingan.

While she's reading, nagbrowse muna ako sa Social Media Sites. And what I saw on Instagram made me smile.

How I envy my former prof, for a fairy tale come true?

Nag renew kasi sila ng vows ng husband nya na si Mr. Gabriel Elizalde for the 3rd time. Hanggang ngayon kinikilig pa rin ako sa story nilang dalawa.

By the way, former prof ko si Prof Mia Diane Sandoval-Elizalde sa St. Anne University during my Accountancy days.

And for starters, isa po akong CPA. I even graduated Cum Laude and passed the board exam immediately. I went to an Audit Firm for work. Pero 2 months pa lang ay nag-resign nako agad. Because my 2 months stay in audit was pure hell. So I went to BIR bilang tax accountant but I only lasted for 3 months kasi hindi ko masikmura ang katiwalian sa loob, konting kibot dapat may lagay. Damn! I am not for that dirty schemes so I quitted kahit ano pang offer nila sakin to stay. After naman sa BIR, I went to corporate practice at nakatagal naman ako ng 1 year pero nag resign din ako agad. I don't know what's the problem with me. After I resigned, I had some soul searching schemes. Hindi ko rin kasi ma-gets kung bakit hindi ako makatagal sa work at umay na umay ako sa trabaho ko. Well, I am richly compensated naman as a CPA pero hindi ako masaya.

Until one time, during my soul searching days, I discovered a Writers-Readers Community Site, and being a book worm, bet na bet ko yun. At namalayan ko na lamang na nag-post ako ng una kong on-line story. Mahilig din kasi akong magsulat pero hanggang notebook lang yun at ako lang ang nakakbasa. So I never expected that it will boom dahil pumatok ang story ko and it garnered million reads in just 3 months of being posted to that site. Na-enjoy ko sya kaya naman nagpatuloy ako sa pagpo-post ng story having the pseudonym of 'pinkpurpleblue'. Dun ako nakilala. Hanggang sa may nag offer sakin na i-publish ang mga works in paperback. Which I gladly accepted. And the rest was history.
