I walk away from the house that I live for almost half of my life. Half of my HELL LIFE. I don't know what to do. I don't know where to do. I let my feet guide me where to go until I reach the park. I cry all my heart burdens. All the bad events that take place in just a second. I just sit at the bench, watching people as they passed by.
Suddenly, a handkerchief shows of in front of my face. Someone offered me a hankie. Is that obvious I'm crying? Or maybe he's just observant?
"Here, take this. It's all I can offer you for now. You can hug me if you want to, to lessen your burden inside." The stranger said. I'm touched. The stranger tries to comfort me unlike my relatives who even throw me out of their house.
The stranger sits beside me.
"I'm Xsher Santos. I can relate at your situation cause we're the same here. Anyway, if you don't want to share your burden and you don't want to hug me, I better go." He straightened. "I hope we will meet at the future." Then before he turns his back, he smiled at me, and I can't help but smile at him too.

"Miss Legaspi, your turn for the interview." The receptionist said.
I'm nervous. Very. First, it's my first time to have job interview. Yes, I am one of the graduates of batch 2013-2014 of Araullo University. My friend's parents help me at my tuition fee, and I work for a part time job for my allowance.
After Kyle, Rovy and Justine found out how did my Auntie Myrna treated me, they offer their house. They said I'm always welcome at them. They will always be there for me.
"Miss Legaspi, you can now go inside his office." That voice makes me back to reality.
As I sit at the front seat of the desk inside of the President's office, I felt the chill in my body. Only the president's back can be seen in my view. I'm very nervous. What if he wouldn't accept me? What if he will reject me? How can I back the favor for my friend's parents who help me for a couple of years?
Then he faced me. He had a good physical feature: fair complexion, his eyes we're blue-deep as the ocean and Chinky eyes, slightly curly black hair, pointed nose, red pouty lips and heart shaped face. I remember at the back of my mind that I met him before, but I don't remember when, where and how did I meet him. Maybe somewhere in my past? Geez! I don't even believe at reincarnation!
"How are you Miss Legaspi?" he said then he poses that cute smile on his lips. I even feel the intense meaning of his smile. Why do I have this feeling that we meet before?His perfect white teeth showed again. Now, I love your smile, boy! I even feel the shivers down my spine because of that smile.
Will you shut up Jane? Your on your future job interview!
"Pardon sir?"
"I'm asking how you are?"
"I'm a little bit nervous sir because it is my first job interview and my soon to be work." I smiled shyly.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" he laughs heartily. "Don't you remember me, seriously?"
"No, sir. It's our first meeting."
"I know your joking."
"No, I'm not sir. I don't remember that I meet you before."
"Before anything else, I want you to know that your hired." He smiled widely.
"Thank you, sir! But why that early? You didn't interview me properly if I can perform well at your designated work for me."
"I knew you before. We meet at the park while you were crying. Remember the hankie I gave you? I hope it's still in you"
My eyes grew bigger. "You mean, your Xsher Santos?" I smiled at the situation when I met him. I always think of him every hour, every minute and every second that day until now. I blushed at that thought.
"Oh, you're blushing. Did I say anything for you to blush?" He said while hiding his famous cute smile.
"I'm sorry sir." I looked down.
"Anyway, you will start working tomorrow. Be here at my office at exactly 7:30 a.m. then we will talk about your definite job description."
"Thank you, sir!" I stand up like him. "Can I hug you? Returning the favor for that day, you know." I looked down cause I don't want to be rejected by him. I feel that he is my savior.
"Yeah, sure. I can breathe now. You never fail to amuse me, Jane."And seconds later, I'm enveloped in his strong arms....
