Broken Arrow of Fate (Broken Series #2)

Chapter 11

Hired

I sighed and pouted while looking at my feet.

After weeks of staying in Cebu, my feet are tired already. Yes, I have my own driver here and helpers, but in office, I walked a lot while wearing heels some of the times. Though, minsan naman naka-sneakers ako kaya masaya na ako doon, lalo na kapag nanonood lang kami ng photoshoot at walang ginagawa masyado.

Yung kakambal ko, next week pa siya susunod dito dahil hindi naaman sabay yung internship namin at kakaiba din ang internship niya. Sa school din siya magi-internship dito sa Cebu, not like me na nasa office talaga na literal.

Nagsabay din kami ng internship sa company namin, mas nagtagal lang siya don kaysa sa'kin dahil nga magkaiba naman ang schedule namin.

"I want tinola po" I answered the cook when she asked me what I want for dinner. I just arrived home and they waited for me before they prepare the dinner. "I'll just rest and you can call me once it's done" I then looked at the helper who nodded at me.

After taking a shower, I saw a message from Carlo asking if he can call now because he knew I am already home. I even gave him my schedule, so he won't call me while I am in the office.

"Hello" I frowned when his voice sounded off.

Is he sick or something bad happened to his day?

"Is everything okay? Are you feeling sick?" I asked and put my phone on the stand, while I am combing my hair.

But before he can even reply to me, his younger brother blocked his view and spoke.

"Ate Fate, may sakit si Kuya!" sabi nito at kaagad tumakbo dahil pagagalitan siya ni Carlo, na siyang isinigaw ang pangalan ng kapatid niya.

"Anong nangyari?" narinig ko naman ang tanong ni Tita sa background niya.

"Wala 'yun 'nay, kumukulit na naman ang bunso niyo" sagot naman ni Carlo at nagsuot ng headset bago huminga ng malalim at tumingin sa akin.

"You're sick?" I asked and he slowly nodded, as if he don't want me to know that. "And you still attend your class today?"

"Well, still sick but a bit better now. I passed the quiz" he weakly but proudly stated and I smiled before I glared at him.

"Now, rest. Sleep, bawiin mo ang lakas mo. Kailangan mong magpahinga, wag kang mag-aaral muna. You're so stubborn most of the times, Carlo Asuncion!" I nagged angrily and he just chuckled.

Carlo freaking Asuncion chuckled and I am here angry at him? Seriously!? Ang tigas talaga ng ulo nito madalas.

"Nakakainis ka naman" naiinis na dagdag ko at sumeryoso na siya.

"But nagpapahinga na ako habang kausap kita. Hindi ako nagbabasa o nag-aaral at kausap pa kita. That's all that I need" seryosong sabi niya at kumunot ang noo ko.

"Pero mas makakapahinga ka kapag matutulog ka at walang ginagawang iba. Wag matigas ang ulo, wala ako dyan para bisitahin ka. At sa lahat talaga ng araw na magkakasakit ka, 'yung wala pa ako sa Manila ha" sabi ko at ngumiti siya bago sumandal muli sa unan.

"I knew you are worried and I swear, I didn't expect to get sick. I followed all of your advices and I am taking care of my health. I have at least three to five hours of sleep a day, then an hour to every meal time without any books in front of me. Then an hour or two of just resting. I didn't expect to be sick when you are not even here in Manila" he explained and I sighed. "Don't worry, I will be better tomorrow. I took my meds earlier and I will drink one again later. So, don't worry about your man here, just continue slaying your internship like what you planned"
