Love at Book Store

Chapter 9

Apo POV

Uncle came back from the town and I was quiet free because I dont have to stay in the store as before. Looking after the store is not a simple job especially book store . We have to look after small children too , who visit the store to read their favroite fairy tale book . I was feeling soo tired from standing all day that I was taking rest today on my room upstair .

" Aiissh , I couldnt sleep " I murmurled .
I was tossing from one corner to another in my bed , neither I can sleep nor I have energy to go downstair and help uncle .

Its been a week that I saw him , after leaving that day from the store - he never came back to the store neither message me nor I dare to mesaage him : I couldnt take my eyes off from our message chat box ..... like WHAT THE HELL ?! What am I even thinking ... Gather yourself , APO.. Gather yourself ....  Take a deep breath and slowly let it out.

* Tingling * * Tingling *

I heard the sound of store door bell which was hung at the top of the door . Uncle had bought this bell from the town  - whenever someone entered the store , the bell make this sound which can be heard throughout the store . Whenever I heard the sound of the door bell, unintentionally my eyes move towards the door without blinking,  until I see the one who is entering the shop. I was wishing someone to come in .......but he was nowhere to be found....

Again another week just went in a flash . I was unable to send the message which was already in my mobile phone draft yet again . I was not feeling confident , what if Mile was not interested to meet me again ? What if Iam the only one impatient here ? These questions always kick me in my mind whenever I try to send Mile a message .

Yet again, I was alone in the store . Uncle had gone town to receive some parcel from his friend . Before when uncle had gone to town , Mile accompanied me but now I cannt even ask to come again , right ?
or should I just Message him ?

" Ughhhhh " , I just scream soo loud hitting my head at the table that people at the store who were looking for the books stared at me .

" Sorry , sorry , please carry on " I just gesture them to carry on with my hands.

It was 2 PM at noon

I was just staring at my phone message box where I had written to Mile " Mile , Are you free tonight ?"
Like WHAT THE HELL ? Iam soo impatient .

" Uncle , uncle ! please give us that book ", some one was pulling my pant . I was soo focused staring at the mobile phone that I was startled and accidently ....... I just pressed the send button .

My internal body was just screaming inside like WHAT  THE F *** , JUST HAPPENED ?

Now , what should I do ? What should I tell him ? I just swoo away the child giving her the book she wanted.
And I was just sitting at the counter grabbing my hair with both hand , bowing down ----

The message was on read ! He just read my message . Otteoke ! Otteoke ! Iam soo embarassed right now --

* Deng * * New Message *

When the notification shows a new meaage .... My heart is almost in my mouth .

Mile - Apo , sorry I was unable to contact  you these few weeks . I will meet you tonight .

My heart is beating soo fast .....
