NOVEMBER GOT ME YOU

Chapter 16

DINA'S P.O.V

I don't want to talk about how I ended up letting myself go from Steve's arms. It was horrible. I cried my eyes out for 4 hours in the plane til I fell asleep.

And I just landed back in Heathrow. Good whatever London, I'd check the timezone later.

I quickly found my suitcase at the baggage claim corner and grab a taxi to drive me to the apartment. Luckily college still let me have the room I used to live in, til further notice or til I finished with the documents and all that.

London was still beautiful. I smell Christmas already. Sun was barely shining. Strong fall wheather and in few days it would be snowing.

"Miss, is this the correct address?" The driver's voice surprised me.

"Oh. Yes it is. Thank you very much." I paid him.

"Let me help you with the case."

"Thank you. And please keep the rest."

I approached my room and gave myself a quick power nap. I should be meeting Brianne the college staff in two hours. When I woke up, there's already a voice note from her.

"Hi good afternoon Ma'am. Sorry I was so tired and fell asleep right away."

"Please just Brianne or Bree." She smiled. "It's alright. Have a seat."

"How are you?"

"I'm very well." Bree showed me some papers. "Follow the yellow stamps as of where you should sign."

"Okay." I took a deep breath and started working.

"How are you missing London?"

"Wow. Coming back here is one of best experiences I've ever had again in my life. It's good to be back. Three years of school term has made this city my second home."

"That is so amazing. How's Indonesia by the way?" Bree, she was only like five or six years older than me. And she's an alumni. So we pretty much talked like friends.

"Hot, still hot. You'll be the first to hear from me when it has snow or something." I chuckled. "Hey I'm planning to stay."

"Stay?" She echoed me.

"Yes, stay I mean staying around."

"But why? Isn't your country a good place for you? I remember you'd been homesick during thesis term."

"I know... But when I come here, I feel like wanting to do something more." I shrugged. "Funny, like I knew what to do around to survive life."

"Well, I...actually have a pretty good offer." Brianne smirked. "Now funny how things work perfectly, isn't it?"

"I'm ears." I made funny faces as my right hand started to freeze because too many documents to sign.

"What about being a lecturer assistant? I know your skill is very good. Some new students might need introduction to photography world, where you could take place if you want."

"Wow." I silently gasped. "For real?"

"Here is Mr. Edwards for you to call. He's looking for an assistant. Let him know you heard this from me." She wrote a number in a piece of paper.
