He came to me and hugged me without saying anything. "I'm sorry for all I did. And I'm letting you go. I know that you don't love me anymore so I'm ready to be patient for you." Dave... I closed my eyes and realized, I hugged him back and rested my chin on his arm. We are only carried away by our emotions so we do bad things. But anyway, I forgive you since you told me your reason. You have become a part of my life, Dave, and I was happy to have you before. "Dave."
Xiana's spirit is already awake at 3 am because of her work, she doesn't want to be caught in the queue so she wakes up in the morning even if she doesn't want to or wants to.
"Grandma, I'm leaving" he replied politely to the old man who was sweeping in the darkness of their garden.
"No, Xiana, why do you wake up early in the morning and your class is late, right?" Xiana smiled at her grandmother who, if true, was her mother because her mother disappeared early while her father disappeared in the sea while fishing. and it's been a long time.
"Grandma, you know I have a sideline, right?" The old man didn't answer and just shook his head.
"Just be careful" he just gave her a nod and then left.
Xiana was the only grandchild when her Grandma and Grandpa raised her since her parents died. Xiana is graduating from being a teacher. Just one semester and he will finish it and he will be able to help his grandmother and grandfather but it is not finished yet because even though he is graduating, he has a problem with his fees at the university he is attending. Because his professors have always been patient and this is what makes a way for him to pass the exam. She owes almost a lot of money to the university and she doesn't have that much money so Xiana is struggling.
And he was able to find a job and it's even taxing his health because he was already up studying, he was waking up early for his work.
Xiana is only twenty-one years old and she already knows how difficult life is. Because they were poor in life, xiana never once regretted their state in life.
Xiana has a job as a restaurant bookkeeper. If you think about it, his job is not difficult but this is where he makes a mistake because the owner is rich, he has fifty restaurants in different parts of the Philippines, so he can handle large amounts of checks, sometimes he can handle millions of checks so his life is dangerous. So in his job he keeps everything closed and doesn't let them know how much he pays.
Xiana smiled because there was no one when she arrived at the bank. He needs to be early so that he can be the first to be attended to by the crew to avoid the bad guys. Xiana waited for several hours and came out with a guard from inside the bank.
"Oh Xiana, how are you?" he just smiled at her. And they didn't talk to her anymore and when the bank opened, she was immediately let in because the Restaurant in the Bank was VIP, Xiana didn't need a number to call.
"Good morning Xiana" Coni who always takes care of her greeted her.
"Aren't you tired Xiana" talking to her even though she was working?
"There is no fatigue for someone who needs money, Coni" Coni smiled at him.
"The boss's wealth, why don't you borrow from it?" Coni asked him.
"I'm sorry, I'm only paid by Sir Kino's BIR, so I haven't seen him in person yet."
"You're so beautiful, Xiana, you don't fit in just being a bookkeeper" xiana just smiled at what her friend said.
"I'm about to finish my education course, but I won't be able to graduate if I can't pay the university fees, I have as much debt as I have," he let out a deep breath.
"I know you can handle it Xiana, just wait. It's still a lot and I'm fine with three" Xiana smiled at her.
"It's okay" and since her friend was busy, Xiana decided to do a review first because they had a quiz.
Xiana is beautiful and sexy and her hair is long and so straight that you would think it was dyed but it is her natural beauty. She has thin lips and her complexion is rich because of her whiteness which is creamy white, but Xiana doesn't like to beautify and wears sexy clothes so her real beauty is not visible. Because Xiana loves Skinny Jeans and long sleeve clothes. Many admire her high waist-length hair, but even so, she is still beautiful.
Everyone wonders if Xiana has a race and it is Yes, Xiana's father is a Half Mexican which is why she is so beautiful. But Xiana has never been proud of it, unlike others who boast that they have a race. For her, she is a pure Filipina.
Sometimes Xiana thought to thank the old man who helped her. It's just that he was crying on the side of the bridge because of the large amount of money he has to pay for the university and he knows that his grandmother who sells vegetables in the market around the corner and his grandfather who helps sell, can't afford it anymore, because he needs more than half million because, from the beginning of his 1st years of college, he was just trying to pay. Book fees and other fees are included, so that's the amount she needs because of the subjects she takes, Xiana used to be a scholar at a private school in college, but because she lost her sponsor, that's how she mourned. he will pay.
And that's when the old woman appeared getting out of the car and he told her his problem so she told him that she would work with him. He just took his phone number and the next morning a company called him and he has a salary of 10k per month, that's okay with him and he's saving, but sometimes he can't stop spending because when his grandfather got sick he was immediately taken to the hospital because he had asthma and was also in pain.
"Xiana oh it's done" Coni breathlessly told him and presented his thick papers to him so he accepted them.
"Thank you Coni" he smiled at her so he said goodbye as he was leaving.
----
When Xiana arrived at the University, she was nervous going in because she knew she would be scolded again. So he took a deep breath and entered his room. His classmates immediately greeted him.
"Xiana, how is your work?" he let out a breath and sat in his chair.
"This is all you can do to pay for university" he replied sadly to his friend Lexin who was far away from him. It's nice but it's a dancer at the bar and once a customer is chosen, that's it. But. It's kind, even though it's a job, Xiana didn't judge it even once because she knows that self-service is really difficult if it's Lexin's.
"I told you to come with me. Just dance and you'll make heaps of money" Lexin said smiling at him but he shook his head.
"I don't want lexin because grandma will get angry and then I'm okay with my 10k per month"
"Hello, Yna that's just a little" he looked at lexin badly because of the name he was called so she smiled.
"I love Yna," she said
waking up "I don't know you Lexin"
"Why is it a big deal for you to call her Yna?" Lexin asked her while she was arranging her notebook on her desk
"I don't want to be given someone else' It's a different name because I was born only once and I was baptized only once, do you get it Lexin?" Lexin didn't answer and was silent when their professor arrived.
"Good morning class" greeted their female professor. He slightly looked at Xiana and looked at her then let out a deep breath
"What am I going to do with this boy" the professor was thinking.
"Pass these sheets," he said then gave the president their examination when president Dina reached Xiana, Dina was thinking twice if she would give it to her or not.
"Dina, give it to her" when their professor said to her, Dina smiled and nodded..
"Yes ma'am" she gave it to her while whispering
"Sorry, Xiana " Xiana just smiled at this and accepted her test paper. While they were taking the exam, their professor came out.
"Prof Rena is Miss. Ocampo's payment okay?" asked the university administrator.
"Oh, dear! That's our problem" the admin sighed.
"He's graduating and the man's grades are disappointing! He's also one of the top lists of our Summa Cumlaude" Xiana's Prof bowed.
"Tell her I will give her another chance and if there is no one I will pass that position on to someone else" their prof just nodded and didn't even notice that Xiana was also listening because she was about to pass her examination prof but unexpectedly he heard something that shouldn't happen.
He returned to his seat sadly.
"I told you to approach the CEO of that restaurant" Lexin whispered to him but he ignored her.
When his class was over, he just walked and didn't notice that he was in the opposite building.
He let out a deep breath and bowed
"I can do it" he whispered to himself then decided that he would just lend money to him because he knew that he would give him that much money because he was rich.
"Oh Xiana, you're here? You're supposed to be back for the BIR in a month," he just smiled at his boss's secretary.
"Amanda is sir there?" He weakly responded to Amanda.
"Whose sir is it?" Xiana nodded shyly
"Ah yes, why?" Xiana smiled with effort
"Why I'm just going to ask him for something, it's really an emergency" he pouted at the same time making Amanda smile.
"You are really beautiful, is that a problem at your university?" Xiana just bowed her head and did not answer.
"Oh he's okay, just wait" he called someone until he was told to come in. So he went inside but it was not the main office but the living room that opened to him.
So he walked further when he heard his voice which seemed scary because of the depth of his voice.
"DAMN IT, FIND HER" he shouted so he stopped, even before he saw her full face he was scared.
"But kino, we can't trace with just this thing, many women wear it" he heard the man reply, he just waited outside because he was still talking to someone.
"THEN FIND HER" she just shouted so the man came out and Xiana was a little surprised because of the man and she saw his face and it looked familiar to her but she didn't notice him until she took a breath and knocked first.
"Come in" he closed his eyes and entered with his head down while his boss just looked at him from head to toe, he was still in his school uniform.
"Your that girl?" he asked her so she raised her brow her boss was a little amazed at her beauty and so was Xiana.
He was so handsome she said in her mind
"So?" he suddenly asked him so he immediately sat down and faced his boss
"Sir, I would like to ask you something," he said with a pleading voice. Kino leaned back in his chair as he stared at the beautiful beauty that was served in front of him, his beautiful smile shining.
"Okay" he just nodded.
"Can I give you a loan?" xiana bowed at what he said.
"Loan?" Kino said with a laugh.
"How many square meters would you want to be my cultural?" Xiana raised her face and noticed that what she said was wrong because of her nervousness, but now with her feelings.
"I mean can I borrow money? I promise I'll pay you back" Kino's face became serious.
"You need money?" Kino asked and Xiana just nodded.
"How much?"
"500k" kino suddenly coughed from the coffee he was drinking so xiana bit her lip
"For what?" she asked while wiping her mouth
"At the university, since I'm still in my first year I can't pay" explain he is here. Kino just looked at him.
"Give me your phone number, my secretary will call you" was the only answer, so Xiana stood up and gave her respect.
"Thank you" he then turned his back because he knew that he wouldn't give it to him because if he thought about it, his boss still doubted him.
"It's life," he said annoyed as tears suddenly fell.
"Baby, always wear your face mask, is that okay?" I talked to my six-year-old son. "Okay, Mom!" He answered enthusiastically while looking at the high gate of the house where we were standing. "Are you going to work here?" He asked. I nodded and squeezed her cute hand. I hope we won't be evicted if I can work here. I also hope my son won't steal chocolates at night, my old boss mistook me for a ghost so I was fired! I couldn't help but laugh, my mother and I have been through so much and my son is strangely gaining weight and not losing weight. "Come in now." The guard caught my attention. I nodded and walked in with Alexandria. The butler of the mansion greeted us and escorted us to the maid's quarters, they were so happy with my daughter that you would think she would be working with them. But even so, I'm thankful because it seems like it's really okay that I work with him even though it's very unprofessional. Judy and Roxan didn't hold Alexander until he went to sleep, so it's bad if they scolded him until he was left to sleep.
He smiled then took my hand and put the book in there. I quickly took the book and walked out. I might punch him in no time. Fuck you my first kiss is gone. That's a damn president. She really is ready for me.
We just followed him with our eyes. Not far from the abandoned university, Ellice's car was parked and we were hanging out. It only takes a few steps to reach the gate, so we see Ella's every move as she slowly opens the gate. "Girls, it's open. Come on, let's take a look inside" Ella yelled at us. We got out of the car one by one and went to see Ella. When we arrived at the gate we found that it was indeed open. After all, no one is surprised by an abandoned person. "What are we going to do? Don't tell me we're going in there?" Mitch asked cleverly. He just followed us and kept his hand on his mosquito-bitten leg. "Let's go inside. Let's find a place to sleep. We can't just spend the night in the car," I told them. Maybe some bad person passed by where we parked the car, and we might be tripped up, we're still girls. We have nothing against you. "France is right. We have to get inside to find a place to rest" Ellice agreed with what I was saying and went inside first. "But guys-"
I was just walking around the premises of my new school. Our class just ended and the teachers announced that it was 'club hours' and that we could join the club we wanted. The case... I don't want anything. There is nothing like that for me. I can't go to the sports club because I have asthma. I will drown if I join the Swimming Club because I can't even do a simple dog swim. It's also not possible in Math or Science Club because my brain will definitely explode there. I can't do Cheerdance because I don't know how to dance and my bones will break because of the hardness of my body. I'm not an artist by blood and I'm not a book lover. I then thought of hanging myself from a tree. I have no talent. I'm having a hard time choosing a club. So I just chose to walk around. I'm also new to this school. I was educated when my uncle was abroad so I was able to move to the classy St. Mikhailov's Academy. As I walked I reached the part of Nevada's Square that was quite wooded. There are many trees and big ones. I sat down in the shade and rested while looking around. Then suddenly....
As I was walking along the road, I noticed someone looking at me. So I looked around but I couldn't see him. So I just told myself that it was just my imagination. I just walked because I was in a hurry to get to the Jeep Terminal. But I stopped walking because someone suddenly grabbed my arm. So I got nervous and I suddenly looked at him. I can't see his face because he's wearing a mask. I wanted to talk to him but he turned me away and put a handkerchief over my mouth. I struggled but I couldn't because he was too strong. So with so much struggle and dizziness, I lost consciousness.
There are things in this world that we cannot see clearly. Sometimes they are just people's imaginations and you may only read about them in books. Hiding because they know people will not understand them when they see them. Evil but sometimes does inexplicable good. Things that... Things? They don't really matter, what am I saying?
