Features Of Our Future (Fondness s e r i e s #2)

Chapter 37

Gaya ng napag-usapan namin ni tita sels. Sa lumipas a tatlong araw nakahanap ako ng trabaho pero part-time lang dahil hindi naman ako taga dito. Umalis na rin ako sa bahay nila tita sels at naghanap ng mauupahan, kahit pa Isang kwarto lang

"I can help you, charlie"

Kulang nalang magpapadyak ako habang kausap ko itong si clerdenn. He was so willing to help me. Pero ayoko, sobra na ang naitulong sa akin ng pamilya niya tapos huhuthutan ko pa siya tsaka kaya ko naman e

Napakamot ako sa ulo ko at napasimangot"I told you I can't accept help for now, clerdenn. I need to train my self"

He sighed before handing me a water. Nasa resto kami ngayon, nilibre ko siya dahil na-receive ko na 'yung unang sweldo ko. Nakapag-tabi naman na ako. At Isa do'n ay ang para sa pag-aaral ko ng law sa unibersidad

"I have a condo. I merely use that, you can borrow it for the meantime. So you don't need to stay with a cheap room anymore"he seriously offer

Nakangiti akong umiling sakanya"it's all right clerdenn! You don't have to"

"Charlie, you only just have a months before the enrollment. You can't provide an enough money just for being a waiter, sweeper, server-"

"Lawyer"I finish his sentence and shrugged

"Clerdenn, remember the day you told me that I had to believe my self? This is what I'm trying to do now. Thank you for your offer to help but it's fine okay? Just focus on your study and got a licence"I even gave him a thumbs up but he just rolled his eyes

"Okay. But I'm always here to help you. Don't think twice"he said not looking at me because his busy eating

"Why you're so willing to help me? Friend ba us?"I joked

He glare at me"No. We're kinda strangers"

I laugh then throw a tissue on his face. He just rolled his eyes then resume from eating. I didn't really expect that clerdenn will be my friend here. Among the others he never question me about the scandal that probably he have seen also

He keep my privacy and when it comes on my passion to pursue my dream he is willing to help me. Kulang nalang akuin niya pero hindi ako pumapayag syempre

Like what he said. I used to be a waitress, serves, sweeper and any job I could occupy. Hindi naman ako maarte sa gano'n, lalo na't kung malaki naman ang madudulot sa akin kahit pa nakakapagod. May hinahabol akong deadline ng enrollment kaya marami akong part time job na inaplayan

Ang pahinga ko nalang ay pagtutulog o kakain. Ni wala na akong oras para mag-ayos ng sarili. Hindi ko din pinaalam kay kyriah ang tungkol dito dahil alam kong mag-aalala siya at hindi magdadalwang isip na puntahan ako dito

Basta ang alam ko may nakatanggap na sakanyang kompanya. Sobrang saya ko para sakanya, alam ko naman na magagawa niya yon dahil napakahusay niyang painter. Tsaka petiks nalang sakanya ang makabawi sa gano'n

"You need help?"clerdenn asked while he's busy highlighting his notes. Habang ako ay abala sa pag-pupunas ng glass wall sa tabi niya

Mabilis akong umiling at ngumisi kahit pa hindi ako nakaharap sakanya"I can do this, thanks"

He used to be always around me whenever job I went. Bigla nalang siyang susulpot, wala naman akong magawa. Alangang paalisin ko siya e hindi naman siya nang-gugulo. Madalas lang siya mag tanong ng mag-tanong

"Are you tired?"clerdenn asked before sipping his coffee while his eyes are focus on his laptop. Habang ako ay nag-mamop ng sahig sa tabi lang niya
