World of Tsundere

Chapter 1 "Are you really going to pursue that?" Kylie my bestfriend asking me those questions again and again. "Oo nga. I am sure of it. My dream is to be a scriptwriter. That's why I am applying for this job." I answered back. "Come on, Sofia Claire De Vera. We both graduated and passed the board exams of being an accountant, then biglang shift ka ng landas na tatahakin? Being a writer? Parang ang labo naman Sofi." "You know Ky, my passion in writing is unexplainable." "Yeah right, I therefore agree on that part." she cutted in "But- dito ako masaya, okay? I only took the accountacy course because of my parents. They are both CPA's that's why they want me to become like them. Pinagbigyan ko sila noon, kaya sana pagbigyan nyo naman ako ngayon." Her expression slowly changing on what I have said and closely she hugs me real tight. "I'm sorry Sofi for nagging you like that, nag aalala lang kasi ako sa future mo. You are my bestfriend, I only wants the best for you." "Thank you Kylie, I appreciate those things. But don't worry about me, kay? Malaki na ako and I can take care of my self. All I want is a full support from you, and from my Mom and Dad, hmm?" I said while breaking the hug and holding her hand. "So, when will you start?" she ask me. "I don't know, I'm still waiting for the reply in Vast Entertainment. But they already interviewed me and luckily I also passed all their examinations. I'm just hoping for the best and to start soonest. Ikaw ba, kailan start ng work mo dun sa Auditing firm?" "I'll start next week, mabuti na lang malapit lang yung auditing firm dun sa inapplayan mong company. Let's meet often okay?" "Alright. alright." I chuckled. Almost 11 pm, when I heard a call from my phone. I slowly open my eyes and open my lampshade. Dali dali kong tinanggap ang tawag dahil isa ito sa mga producers ng Vast Entertainment. "Hello?" I asked nervously. "Hello is this Ms. De Vera?" "Yes po. Ako nga po yun." Breathe in, breathe out Sofi. "Well, sorry to interrupt your sleeping I guess?" "No. It's okay Mam." I quickly answered. "Well, okay then Ms. De Vera. I would like to tell you that you got accepted as one of our junior writers in our company which is Vast. I want to formally introduce to tomorrow in our company, is that okay with you?" Wait? For real?! "Ms. De Vera? Hello?" I stopped dead tracks on what I have heard. "Ye-yes Mam! I'm sorry for idling, I'm just shocked." I uttered almost whispering. "No, it's okay Ms. De Vera, we are actually happy to be part of your journey as a writer in our company. I'll see you tomorrow by 9 AM. Congratulations." "Yes, please. Thank you so much!" And we hanged up. After that call hindi ko mapigilan hindi tumili. "Oh my gosh! This is it! I'm finally becoming a real writer in the making. You can do it Sofia." Usually my daily wake up routine is between 8 to 9 AM. But today is different, I'm officially part of the growing adults wherein being employed is part of those things. Pero mas excited ako sa pagiging junior writer ko sa Vast Entertainment. 6 AM palang pero puno na ako ng energy para sa gagawin maghapon, yeah kinda nervous because of the new people whom I will be meet later, pero mas nangingibabaw sa akin ang saya para sa pangarap ko na unti unti ng natutupad. Well, by the way I am living alone here in my condo which my parents bought for me when I passed the CPA board. Actually they are living out of the country since when I started college, they are living in Australia since both of their job are also there. My Mom's company offered her to go to Australia to be a General Manager, while my Dad also went with my Mom and nagpalipat siya sa company nila. Diba, how true love works. Well the initial plan of our family is to migrate over there. Pero hindi ako pumayag since I want to stay here in the Philippines. And sayang na rin yung tagal ng inaaral ko sa accountancy, I'm in a 3rd year college then if I am not mistaken. Thankfully, they agreed na dumito muna ako sa pinas, and napapayag din sila ni Kylie dahil sya naman din ang makakasama ko habang wala sila. Kylie and I both lived in a dormitory and through that mas naging close kami sa isa't isa. I was now walking papasok sa Vast Entertainment, actually 8:30 palang pero ang call time is 9AM, masyado na ba akong excited? Agad muna akong pumunta sa reception area para tanungin saang floor ang The Writer's Hub. The receptionist ask for my ID which I give immediately at may tinawagan sya sa may landline. "Ms. Sofia?" the receptionist called my attention "Yes po?" "Nasa 8th floor po ang The Writers Hub. Room 506." "Uhm. Thank you." Agad akong napabugtong hininga sa narinig ko. 8th floor? Araw araw aakyat ako ng 8th floor. Oh my god. If you are all curious on what's happening to me. Sadly to say, I have this 2 phobias. Claustrophobia -fear of enclosed spaces and Nyctophobia fear of the dark Trust me, when those phobias came in to me, I literally got panic attacks and cannot breathe properly. Kylie and my parents knows my situation, that's why during our dorm days, sa 1st floor lang kami ni Kylie. While ngayon naman sa condo na binili ng parents ko, I'm only at the 3rd floor kaya hindi sya mahirap akyatin araw araw, I hate using elevator because of my claustrophobia. I started to go upstairs para before 9 AM makarating na ako doon, siguro naman wala pang 10 or 15 minutes bago ako makarating sa 8th floor diba? Pero hindi pala sya madali, the staircase are built so big, parang mga sobrang tangkad yata ang dapat dumadaan dito. Grabe this is so tiring. Negative thoughts go away. We need to go to the 8th floor. 1st floor done, 4th floor done, 6th floor almost done. I am now closing my eyes while holding the staircase railings. Not really aware what is happening around me. All of a sudden, I stopped on my climbing tracks. Hindi ako napahinto dahil napagod ako, napahinto ako dahil may nabangga ako. Agad akong napamulat at nanlaki ang mga mata sa nakita ko. There this guy, holding an iced americano on his right hand while his left hand naman ay pinapagpagan ang nabasa niyang shirt. Agad akong napatakip ng kamay sa aking bibig. "Oh my god. I'm so sorry!" I immediately went to him at hinawakan bahagya ang basa niyang damit. "Don't touch me." he coldly said while glaring at me. "I'm really sorry." paghingi ko ng dispensa. "Your sorry can't do anything for my ruin shirt." "How can I make it up to you? I can buy you a new one or labhan ko na lang?" I'm trying my best para ma-settle na to. "No need for that.” He paused “But really next time, used your eyes while walking. Don't act stupid." he enounciate those words like a knife. And he turns back on me. Pero hindi ako nagpatalo, I immediately grab his arm and faced him. "You know what, just accept my apology. Literally, I came up all the possible solutions for this, you don't want me to buy clothes, and you don't want me to do laundry.Pero a simple act of forgiveness is enough, you don't have to be rude for telling me I am stupid. I am not a CPA first taker passer for nothing." I said to him at dali dali akong umalis at tumungo na sa 8th floor. What a day to be ruined.
