Chapter 19: My Own Butterfly
John and I are now friends after the casual coffee date that we had last week. At work we often saw each other and sometimes exchanged greetings. As I am having shifting schedules, we only bumped into one another when I'm on my morning shifts or got out from graveyard shifts. He also continued to send messages to me asking how's my day, have I eaten yet, what am I gonna do, and so on and so forth. It was very overwhelming to know that he continues to do these stuffs after what I have told him about my past. Slowly, I am getting attached to every messages that both of us exchanged. May it be a random "hi" and "hello" greetings to a small flirty texts of "i miss you" and "I wish you were here". I started to develop some sort of feelings for him however I can't deny the fact that I am too afraid to start over again.
The fear that lived in my heart haunts me every night. Each night, the face of my daughter and the time she was taken away from me gave me a melancholic moment. All

I started my day with a shower and a breakfast then immediately drive my way to the hospital for work.I parked my car as usual and I walked towards the lobby. One familiar voice called me from behind. "Hey Jess, wait for me". It was John, the new medical director, who happens to be the guy I met from the bar few weeks ago. "Good morning, you look different today", he smiled as he greeted me. "Hmm, Is it a good different or a bad different. And good morning to you too, Sir", I replied. He chuckled and we both exchange our laughter. It was so easy to talk to him and to make a conversation with him. "A very good different. You look more beautiful, by the way", he teased me.

I decided to wear a sage green colored dress with silky fabrics that hugged nicely to my curves. I paired with a long gold earrings that dangle almost to my shoulders, with my hair in their perfect curls and a good amount of make up to sum my look up. I feel different in this outfit, but I kinda like the way I looked right now. I grabbed my pair of heels and my purse. I checked my self once again in my mirror and I am happy that I agreed to this date. It is just 10 minutes to seven, when I heard someone is knocking on my door. I knew right away that it was John. As I opened the door, I was greeted by the most handsome guy I have ever met in his black suit and fresly shaved face. He is such a breath of fresh air. We made an eye contact that lasted for about a few minutes, none of us was saying a word-- like it was a staring contest. I break the silence and greeted him, "Hi John, you are early." I ushered him inside my apartment and offered him to sit down. "You look amazingly

It was winter when I decided to apply for a job abroad. I heard about an interview of group of companies in a suburb where I used to go to work. I head to the hotel where they did the interview and found myself wondering if it is a good idea. However, I wanted to escape from this place where I find myself frustrated all the time.

It was almost after 3 hours when I got my turn and headed to the interview room. And we began.

In medical field, I tend to excel a lot, so I find it easy to describe and answer what she wants. After half an hour, she told me to wait for a call back. I was just told by the assistant that I got the job. Was very excited about it and could not fathom my happiness. I immediately called

What happened to you and Nick?" my mom asked. They were so clueless of how my life has been after I got married. Beside from the money that Nick monthly sent to them, and the video chatting that we had every once in a while, I don't really open much of my problems as I was too embarrassed to let them know of my situation. "Mom, Dad, I can't do it anymore, however, I still love Nick. I was so deeply wounded that he has been cheating. I could accept that he will beat me before, but this? I can't", I cried in my father's arms."I know you. You're so resilient. But have you heard your mom complaining of me beating her to death? Never! It's a red
