Jouri in S
Chapter 37
I wear shabby clothes. I smell awful. My eyelids are drooping. I want some sleep, but the ground is too cold. It is snowing. I used to love snow season, but now, I hate it. I am trembling, and all alone. Maybe I will die on this road. It is a good idea to die now. My parents, brothers, and sisters are already dead, after all.
What is the use of living my life anyway, when you got no one by your side?
My first day in this foreign place.
I am eating boiled sweet potatoes, but it tastes bad. I think it is spoiled. I got it from a garbage site, scattered nearby.
Who cares if I got poisoned by eating a single bite of boiled sweet potatoes? My family had it the hardest.
Even God has forsaken me. I have prayed numerous times to Him, for Him to guide me and my family, every night since I was little. Even if I did it half-heartedly, at least, I prayed, I had done it, not like other people. My parents thought us how to pray. Pray for

Chapter 38 "Hiraya!" What the hell. "Hiraya!" Shut up. "Hiraya! Our break time is almost up! Wake up! Let's go!" I am familiar with that ear-shattering voice, but I still am not used to it. It irritates me to the core. That cheerful high-pitched voice that I always hear every day, whether be it in the office, or at home. Lisha's voice can be comparable to the birds' chirping-feels delightful to the senses but sometimes makes some people who had a bad day pissed off even more. Lisha is both for me: she makes me feel things more deeply, even if most of the words she is saying make not a single sense, or her emotions are pretty petty in general. She is a petty person but is genuine. I cannot find any faults in her. Well, I found some faults, but are not that fatal. She is like an open book, reading her persona is easy-pea

Chapter 39She is sitting in her office chair, wanting to play with the buttons in it.But it is forbidden to play with the automatic office chair buttons unnecessarily."I feel empty. I do not know what should I do." Lisha looked at her palms.They are still wet from sweat due to them running the wide stretch of streets to reach the company at the exact time of their shift. She sweats easily, and the dry air from the air conditioner is making her throat dry and itchy.Lisha got her water tumbler from her office desk and gulped a good amount of warm water from it.She can feel her tongue, still filled with a tinge of sweetness, eating the dessert from the milk tea shop.Some small bits of the dessert is still completely unchewed, stuck in the corners of the insides of her mouth.Lisha unwillingly met the brown eyes of her ex-boyfriend in the office, and they are both surprised by the encounter. He is walking i
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story Why did you not tell me?
Chapter 40"Why did you not tell me that you know who I am when you already know it?"Her male workmates did not answer her."Why? Why did you not tell me that you already knew me and my family background?""We want to talk to you, at all times. You are a good friend, a down-to-earth person. You are a good person even if you are rich, and you are not looking down at us, even our families belonging to the middle and poorest classes.""Then what is the problem? Why did you all act like you do not know anything?"No one is still answering her.She turned to face the direction of her cubicle and took her first step to go back to it.She had the resolve to do what was right. Loitering during office hours, wasting the electricity, and adding to the internet bills without doing something worthwhile for the company is forbidden, and may result in suspension and some penalties. She will call the higher-ups to tell them what her wo
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story Since when?
Chapter 41There is a profound silence in the room. No one dared to speak a word-only the dripping of water from the bathroom across the department can be heard.It is now clear in their minds that Miss Lisha is now pissed off."Speak, now." Lisha came back to her monobloc chair and tried to listen to their explanations, but Aaron seemed to be the only one who had the guts to speak to Lisha, whose head is twirling with different emotions."We knew who you are when we saw you the first time. All of us are interns here before the company hired us, right? It is more of what we have observed when we saw you, not totally gut instinct, as I remember." Aaron stated.Lisha pondered for a second, rubbing her chin, thinking things deeply."Okay, then, what are you trying to say, Aaron? Get straight to the point, this discussion is being lengthy. Just answer my single question, and this issue is all done." Lisha grumbled, like a lion out of patie

Chapter 42She walked towards the second bedside table located nearer the VIP room door, opening a huge basket containing a bunch of flowers and a big vase. She opened her handbag and got some tissue wipes from it, and wiped the vase with tissue wipes to clean off some remaining dust from it.An elegant woman, in her middle fifties, graced the plain room of Tanashiri. She began taking out some meals from the meal basket she left at the entrance door and opened the meal containers. She also has some fragrant flowers packed into bouquets."You brought this all by yourself? Why did you not call someone to help you with all these errands?""I heard these flowers I bought are good for comatose patients. Experts say that the smell of the pollens of these flowers stimulates the nervous system of comatose patients that helps them regain their consciousness easily. I will visit our son every day to bring him newly-harvested flowers of this kind."
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story It is your mistake
Chapter 43That day, she is not that usual cheerful and smiley face pretty girl in town everyone knows.The place has an eerie atmosphere. It is a weird place for her, with silent murmurs everywhere. The longer she stays in that place, the more agonizing it is for her. She wants to cry her eyes out, she is really terrified.Some people there have grim facial expressions, and most of them aren't speaking a single word. More or so, for her, they look like zombies. Pale in color and blank in expressions.From observing afar, intently, you can say and have a wild guess that the customers in this hospital are couples.All of the customers are paired evenly: every girl and woman has a boy and man sitting beside them, respectively.It has been more than almost thirty minutes that she is sitting there in a comfortable set of benches made of combined aluminum and stainless steel, and the metals, therefore, are contributing to the cold atmosphere feel
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story What did I do?
Clarita is shocked, unable to react to what had happened.It is the first time Paciano scolded her.Yeah, everyone in the school, both the school staffs and students know his hot temper, he is easily angered, even at minor things. He is known to talk back to their school teachers, and punch other students whenever he likes.She thought that she would never experience that kind of treatment from her boyfriend. She thought that she is special, and would treat her differently from others.In front of everyone at that."Why are you shouting at me? What-what did I do?" Clarita asked her boyfriend.Paciano suddenly grabbed Clarita's arms which are burnt. He inspected her arm. It is now turning red."You should have been more careful. You brought this upon yourself," Paciano said, in a defensive tone.She is now fuming-irritated at Paciano for being inconsiderate."Excuse me, you are the one who bumped into me when we got
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story How come you are so eager about this?
Excuse me, Mister. If I may ask, why are you so eager about this?The doctor is still not finished sorting and finding other necessary documents for the medical procedure.He wants to get a hold of some papers to be signed for the procedure."I have a good future ahead of me," Paciano responded flatly.Is it only you that have a good future ahead of you?No. I cannot have my plans not put into action. I cannot afford to have a hard stumble this time on my path, I had so much hardship in my life and I put so much stake in the past to achieve my dreams. I must put my dreams and priorities first. I should not be weak-hearted. If I will be emotional and illogical, I won't achieve my dreams and aspirations in life at the right time."Hmmm. Alright.
