Storms In His Heart (Art Boys Series#1)

Chapter 86

Chapter 86 I'm not

"I'm nervous."

Hindi ako mapakali sa kinauupuan ko at napansin naman iyon ni Mama.Tumigil siya sa pagkain at nilingon ako.

He placed her hand on my shoulder and squeezed it a bit."You'll be fine,i know you will do good."She assured me and smiled.

"Don't think too much anak,just act natural.Answer the questions the way you always do."Sabat ni Tito at nag thumbs up.

I exhaled and nodded.Nagpatuloy akong kumain pero hindi ko parin maikalma ang sarili ko.I'm really going for it.

The job interview i dreamt of,this is it.

I stepped in the veranda and looked at the gloomy sky.It's raining a lot today good thing the winds are not an issue for this special day.

Nilingon ko si Kuya Arsius na inabutan ako ng payong."Don't be so paranoid,huminga ka."

"Hayaan mo siya."

Tumingin kami kay Kuya Argust na nakasandal sa  railings ng veranda.Nakapamulsa itong tumingin sa akin at kininditan ako."You can do it."

"Nabasa ka."Bungad ko matapos kaming makapasok ng kotse niya.Kinuha ko ang panyo ko sa bulsa at pinunasan ang mga braso,leeg at pisngi niya.

He held my hand."Ako na."I gave him my handkerchier and he started his wiping his face.Hinawakan naman niya ang isang kamay gamit ang bakanteng kamay niya.

"Whatever the result will be,you can still try Ambrielle."He gave me his blue handkerchief.I smelled it and smiled at him.

The side of his lips rose up."Without failure,there will be no success."

Kinagat ko ang ibabang parte ng labi ko at matunog na bumuntong hininga.Lumingon ako sa mga kasabay ko na nakangiting lumabas ng building at sumakay sa mga sasakyan nila.

Tumingala ako sa makulimlim na kalangitan at pinagmasdan ang paglakas ng ulan.Tumungo ako at tinignan ang isang envelope na dala ko.

I really did my best but i think..it was not enough.

Everything was still not enough.

Gusto ko ng makapag trabaho,gusto kong ipakita kay Mama na tama lang ang kinuha kong kurso.I really want to make them proud and see that i can be like my stepbrothers.

Independent and successful.

My one whole intern year was just a waste...

Walang alinlangan lumapit ako sa isang trashbin at sinalubong ang malalaking patak ng ulan.Tinapon ko ang envelope at pinunasan ang namamasang pisngi at noo ko.

A familiar car parked infront of me.Argust opened his umbrella before stepping out of his car.His eyebrows furrowed when his eyes darted on me.

Tipid na ngumiti ako at makahulugang tumango siya.He opened his arms and i pursed my lips.Tiim bagang akong humakbang papalapit sa kaniya at tumakbo.

I hugged him and cried silently."I didn't make it."I sadly said.He carressed my back and kissed my head.

"I know,don't cry.Were just here for you."Masuyong sabi niya at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.

"I'm always here for you."

"Ambrielle,ayos ka lang??"Tanong ni Mama sa akin.Hinawakan niya ako sa noo  at mabilis na nilayo ko naman ang mukha ko sa kaniya.

"I'm fine Ma."Sagot ko at inayos ang painting na katatapos ko lang gawin.Nagiwas ako ng tingin sa kaniya at nilinis ang mga pinag-gamitan ko.

"Okay then."She crossed her arms at tahimik na bumaba ng kwarto ko.I heaved a sigh at nahihilong umupo sa kama ko.
