The Archer

Chapter 9

Azaria Eloise Harris

I can't stop myself from smiling so widely, Haven is so cute.

Grabe ang epekto ni Haven sa akin, am I too obvious? I don't think so. I adore her so much, ever since nung nakita ko siya sa office ni Tita Diana, walang araw na hindi ko siya naiisip. I always want to see her and be with her, I want her close all by myself.

As much as I want to spend time with her I can't. May kailangan pa akong tapusing trabaho na ipinapagawa sa akin ni Daddy, I can't disobey him. Hindi magiging maganda ang kalalabasan kung sakaling suwayin ko ang mga utos niya.

I'm used to it, mas gusto ko na ako ang mag-suffer sa mga trabahong ipinapagawa niya kesa ipasa niya rin 'yon kay Eli. I'm glad that Eli is in France, she's far from responsibilities. She's free and she can do everything she wants to do. Just thinking about that makes me happy and content, I'm willing to do all the work, Eli deserves to live freely. Hindi tulad ko na buong buhay ko yata ay naka-depende sa gusto nila Daddy.

I took a shower as soon as I went inside my unit, I feel giddy kahit na medyo hindi pa mabuti ang pakiramdam ko. I had to lie, Haven is much more stubborn than me.

After ko mag-shower ay diretso na ako sa office ko to start working. I wear my glasses then opened my laptop and then a notification appeared on my phone.

A smile immediately formed on my lips, it's a message from Haven.

From: Aviana

I'm home :)

Just one message from her can make my day a thousand times better. I immediately replied on her message.

To: Aviana

Good, what are you doing?

Nothing, I'm on my room lang.

Are you working na?

I'm about to but a cutie
messaged me so I had to reply.

Aviana is typing...

Finish your work, I think
she misses you already.

Oh damn, Haven. You'll be the death of me! Since when did she learn to flirt back? That's flirting, right? Oh, gosh! What should I reply? I bit my lip while trying to think of a possible reply.

Enough, I might just go there.

Stop teasing me, honey.

Go and start working!

Don't reply on my messages.

I'm not teasing you, just being honest.

Gusto ko mang mag-reply pa pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko, I think I'm better. I feel so energetic pa nga actually, I really have to finish this work as soon as I can.

Yung paperwork na for 2 days ay natapos ko within 8 hours nonstop,
alas tres na ng madaling araw and my back hurts! I'm a bit hungry na rin so pumunta muna ako ng kitchen to check what's available to eat.

But unfortunately, wala akong nakita. May ingredients naman pero gutom na ako at wala ako sa mood magluto.

Wish me luck, sana ay gising pa siya.
