Lovers Reunion

"Skye, please," Jaxon's voice was desperate, but I couldn't bear to look at him after what I'd learned. "Listen to me first, baby." "What is there to explain?" My words were bitter. "Why keep it hidden until now?" He didn't respond. I let out a mixture of sobs and laughter. "See?" "Skye, please. My situation is difficult. Just give me a chance to explain. I have too much on my plate." I shook my head. "No, I don't need to hear your lies." "Is it that hard for you, Skye? I always listen to you." His words hit me. "Are you blaming me? Sorry, Jaxon. This setup is tiring. I waited for you, but you were not there when I needed you most. I tried to reach out, but you were too busy with things you didn't tell me. So, I was left alone like I was no one." I could see a mix of emotions in his eyes—emotions I couldn't fathom, emotions I saw for the first time since we started our relationship. "I'm sorry, Jaxon. I want to let go. I tried so hard, but I'm choosing myself this time. You stole the only friend I had!" As I opened the door, my heart broke. "Baby, please. Don't give up on me. I love you." "I can't feel it, Jax. I'm too drained. I'm sorry." I stepped outside the room. "And I hope not to see you again."

"Skye, please," I could hear the intense pleading in his voice, but I didn't know how to look at him after finding out everything that happened. "Listen to me first, baby." "What is there to explain, hmm?" Each word I uttered tasted as bitter as bitter gourd. "Why, if I hadn't found out now, were you planning to tell me, or were you planning to keep it hidden until the grave, huh?" He didn't respond, so I released a mixture of sobs and laughter. "See?" I could clearly see the confusion in his eyes, but I chose to feign ignorance. I didn't care about how he felt right now; my own pain was doubled. "Skye, please. My situation right now is very difficult. All I’m asking you is to give me a chance to explain my side. Please give me a few days. I have too much on my plate right now." I shook my head as tears continued to stream down my face. "No, I don’t need to hear any of your lies." "Is it that hard to make it easier for me, Skye? I always listen to you, but why, when it's you, is i

"Miss Callista, you're assigned to interview our new applicants tomorrow, so be here on time. Please don't you dare to be late even for a second." The woman nodded in response to her head's instructions, holding some papers."Yes, sir," she replied before excusing herself and heading to her table, which was filled with folders. She took a deep breath, looking at a stack of application forms in front of her.She needed to review them carefully to select suitable candidates to hire this month. She was assigned to interview the applicants because it was August, and unfortunately, the company had openings during this time.She was a psychology graduate who passed the board exam in her first year. However, finding a job was not as easy as she thought. She was often asked for experience, which led her to the HR department in Quezon City. It wasn't bad, though; she had joined a good company with decent salary and friendly people.But of course, she still needed to get along with everyone, as

The following day, she arrived at work early, hoping to avoid another lecture from her department head as her headache was pounding fiercely. She spent the morning assisting her youngest sibling, who was now in fifth grade, with a school project. Her other sibling, a college student studying HRM, was also busy with studies to support their youngest. She had only returned home the previous day, as her mother had requested, after nearly six months away.She settled into the designated hiring room, one of two interview rooms, alone at a long table with two chairs in front. Besides the flower vases and glass windows on each side, she adjusted the AC to alleviate her headache and brought a cardigan in case she felt cold.At eight in the morning, her coworker informed her that the interviews were starting soon. She finished her water to ease her headache, realizing that conducting interviews in this state wouldn’t be ideal. She regretted not eating the breakfast JC had brought her; maybe t

Every chapter is a mix of flashback and present time.Five years ago.I tightly held the strap of my bag as I walked down the long hallway, the surroundings unfamiliar to me. It was my first day as a college student, and I couldn’t help but feel nervous about what life would be like inside.My building was at the far end, and I was running late, so I hurried my pace. It was frustrating—why did I oversleep today? Mom didn’t wake me up, and they weren’t home when I left, so I also felt hungry since I hadn’t eaten since last night.When I arrived at the room assigned to me, everything was chaotic, although our professor was already seated. I took a seat at the front since it was the only vacant one left.Like the usual routine on the first day, there were introductions to the lessons for the whole semester and getting to know each other. I didn’t know many people yet, so I just kept quiet as I walked towards the canteen near our building. The weather was hot, making it lazy to walk, and

Time flies, and our midterm exams are approaching. I’m often with Kim now; she’s still flirtatious and talkative, but I’m starting to get used to it.We’re on our way to the park; our first class for the day ended early. I’ve been planning to talk to Adri, but I don’t seem to be in the mood. Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. If I were someone else, I’d probably be scared.“What’s wrong?” I asked, pretending to sit on the bench we passed by. Walking is tiring. Luckily, this spot is under a big tree, so it’s nice to hang out here. It feels good because it’s cool.“It’s annoying because of Aldrin,” she said with a frown. She’s referring to her boyfriend, whom she started dating before college, so probably they’ve been together for three or four months. From her look, it seems they had a fight, or worse, they’re close to breaking up. It’s obvious that the guy isn’t that serious about her. She’s just blinded. That’s the problem with people who are too in love; they can’t see th

“Elara?” I was brought back to reality by a tap on the shoulder. Alex greeted me, looking puzzled by my distraction. He really looks so much like Kim, maybe that’s why I felt comfortable with him so quickly, just a few days after starting work at this company.“Why?” I asked, my thoughts were too deep at the moment.“It’s your off, it’s already 8 pm. Are you going to work overtime? If not, let’s go out together.” I smiled and nodded at his suggestion, checking the clock on the side of my table. He was right, it was almost eight in the evening.“Alright. Let’s go.” I replied and quickly tidied up my table, which was littered with papers.“By the way, do you know the last applicant earlier?” I paused, trying to remember who he was referring to. It was Jaxon.“Why?” Instead of answering his question, I asked one instead.“Earlier, before he left the company, he asked for your number, but I didn’t give it to him since it was private information.”“Thank you.” I replied, taking a deep brea

“Stop it. That’s enough. This is different, you look ridiculous,” I said and threw the bread I was holding at the person beside me. We arrived early today, with thirty minutes to spare before our first class starts, so we decided to go to the mall to kill time. School can be boring sometimes. “Sorry, Ely, but I really feel giddy about Zander,” she replied, still busy tapping away on her phone screen. I sighed as I watched her acting silly, smiling to herself. “Just remember what I told you, if he ever hurts you.” She paused for a moment to look at me, but then quickly went back to whatever was buzzing on her phone. “Don’t worry. He won’t hurt me, he said it’s just me.” “Yeah, just you. You’re the only fool in your relationship,” I retorted. “Wow, you’re so bitter! Get a boyfriend yourself!” she teased. I shook my head and tied my hair back. “No way, I’ll focus on my studies first. What will I tell my parents if I get a boyfriend so early? We’re just first-year college students,

“Oh no! That ugly doll is staring again.” I almost fell off my seat if I hadn’t grabbed the edge of my table because of the strong blow I received.“Why?! And I told you not to call me that!” I almost shouted back, tucking the fallen hair away from my face.“Because you’re a witch! What’s your problem? You’re always staring into space? And why? Elara is too long! What a waste of my saliva!” JC, the witch, yes, he’s gay, he’s my co-department head, and I was with him during my last year in college, asked.“Nothing, I’m just tired. I’ve been interviewing for 3 days straight, and please, fix your attitude.” I just replied, not in the mood to chat right now.“Anyway, oh yeah, congrats girl, the President liked the applicants you selected, but before I forget, he issued a memo.”“What memo? I’m not doing anything, why would he issue a memo to me?”“Not sure, but he said to see him before lunch.” I quickly checked the wall clock near my desk.“Shit, it’s already 11 am.”He nodded as if to s

“Wait, you’re early today, Elara?” Kaila greeted me as I entered the 4th floor, she’s the earliest one to arrive in our department, sometimes she’s the one who opens the air conditioning in the office and even in the pantry, and she turns on the PCs.I shook my head and sat down, taking a sip of the coffee I bought from the vending machine. “I haven’t left yet, I just went downstairs to pay for my bath, anyway, I have spare clothes in my car.”Her eyes widened at what I said. “What? Oh no! What if something happens to you?” She asked, leaning slightly towards me to inspect my face. Maybe I look okay today? I don’t know, I hope so.“I have to finish things up before I go home,” I replied, taking a sip of my coffee. I sat down and started encoding the data we would need for the next week.“Okay then, I’ll go to my cubicle, I still have a report to finish.” She excused herself and left my cubicle. I just nodded in response while still busy typing.I didn’t know what time I would finish h

“Hi Elyyyy my friend!” I paused typing my report on my laptop when someone suddenly spoke on my phone. I saw Alexis’ name on the screen, as it was set to auto-answer when on my speed dial.“Oh, you witch, why are you only showing up now? Why have you been absent for two days?” I scolded her. The background went silent, so I furrowed my brow.“I just had some things to take care of, you witch, and I filed for a three-day leave,” she said, laughing on the other line.“So, you’re absent until tomorrow?” I asked while still typing on the keyboard. I’ve already done half of my work for the day; I’m almost finished, and I still need to make copies of everything before organizing them in the cabinets. It’s past six in the evening, overtime again.“Mhmm,” I sighed, knowing what she was going to say next.“There’s a problem,” I concluded.“Huh? Who? Where?” I sighed even though she couldn’t see me.“You,” I said, which made her silent. “Gotcha,” I added, then laughed.“Freak,” she laughed back
