It's been a week since the audition and since then, my mind refused to rest because I was anxious and always waiting for the management's e-mail.
But as to this day, wala pa akong nagtatanggap kaya unti-unti na talaga akong nawawalan ng pag-asa.
They must've e-mailed Chloe already dahil siya ang napili nila.
"Jeez, Loreen, you'll crash your keyboard if you keep on typing harshly," Keisha remarked when she noticed how hard I pressed on every key of my laptop.
Akala ko ay magkakaroon na ako ng katahimikan kahit na isang araw lang dahil busy si Wren, pero mali ako dahil narito si Keisha sa office ko.
Wala kasi kaming klase at hindi niya alam kung saan siya pupunta dahil may out of town internship si Tonyo, kaya ngayon ay ako ang ginugulo niya.
"What do you think of this one?" she asked—showing me a picture of a pink coat gamit ang phone niyang napupuno ng mga glitters at crystals, tapos may pink pa na pompom keychain.
"Cute," I simply answered and returned my attention to my laptop because I was working on a document.
"Should I already buy clothes for Italy or should I just shop there?" She put down the phone on her lap and tilted her head.
Napabuntong hininga ako.
Lagi siyang bumibili ng bagong damit araw-araw at sa tuwing nasa tour kami, hindi siya nagdadala ng mga gamit niya dahil doon sa country na pupuntahan nalang namin siya bibili.
Ang rason niya sa pag gawa nun?—she claimed that it was less hassle because she wouldn't have to pull luggage, which actually made sense and convenient, if you were as wealthy as her.
"Oh, btw, I bought you canvases and paints because I remembered you when I passed by an art shop yesterday," she told me after a while as she resumed scrolling on her phone.
I sighed and gave her a tiny smile.
"Thanks, K."
I can't remember the last time I painted because I was so busy these past few weeks, so painting again would really relax me from the stress.
"You're welcome." She returned the smile, and then she rose up from her seat. "Make hintay here while I get it."
Tumango ako sa kanya at pinanood siyang lumabas ng office ko.
When she completely disappeared from my sight, I leaned on my swivel chair—massaging my temples.
Nasstress talaga ako lately dahil marami akong kailangang tapusing paperworks at next week na rin ang exam namin kaya kailangan ko na ring mag review.
Sighing and closing my eyes to relax for a while, a notification vibrated so I checked it and saw that it was my husband.
From CandyCrush: Miss na kita, love. Di kami paalisin dito😔
I chuckled upon reading his text dahil tila narinig ko ang nagcocomplain niyang boses sa loob ng utak ko at naiimagine ko rin ang mukha niya.
Siguro ay nakanguso siya ngayon at pumapadyak ang paa sa sahig habang hinihintay ang reply ko.
To CandyCrush: Where are you ba?
He immediately replied so I didn't close my phone.
And besides, I needed distraction from my paperwork and my husband was the perfect fit because he was entertaining.
From CandyCrush: Resto ni chef. Pinaghuhugas ako ng plato.
I snorted and shook my head, and then another text from him came.
