Love is Strange 8
Since the award show is still tomorrow, I thought of doing a half day at work today. I'm going to a ramen house.I miss Wella and Cali again. As well as the cute, cute Phoebe. I have fixed what needs to be fixed for tomorrow.So now, I'm going to say goodbye to Miss Stacey that I'll only be there for half a day.As usual, I knocked first before entering. Miss Stacey immediately greeted me with a smile.She was wearing her eyeglasses and her hair was in a high ponytail.I walked closer to his table."Good afternoon," I greeted."Oh Iris, why?""Uh, I'm just going to say goodbye for half a day today.""Okay sure. I already checked your outputs. And you need, we all need beauty rest! Because we will be busy tomorrow morning! So yeah, you can all go home," then he smiled at her."Alright, thank you and take a beauty rest."In the taxi to the ramen house, I texted Wella.Me:well bc kb?He immediately replied.Wella:Nde poMe:ramen house tauWella:Are you free?Me:free by CaliWella:G

Ethan was speechless. He just looked me straight in the eye. Then he slowly bent down and looked up.I saw how the hump on his neck rose several times. He passed us by without saying a word.When he disappeared in front of me, I was relieved."Iris? Are you okay? Who is that and what did you say I'm your wife. Haven't you moved on yet?"I slapped Justin on the arm. He is still very sensitive to this day.Justin was my ex-boyfriend in high school. He's the one I ran to when Mama and I had a fight because of Henry.He is also my only friend other than my plastic friends.We became grade eight and reached grade nine. We broke up before we were in grade ten.Because we are still immature. We both agreed to separate.Besides, he likes someone else. We also ended on good terms."You feel!"He laughed and held her arm."Just kidding! But seriously, how are you?"I pulled him back down the hallway to the restroom."I'm fine. You? How are you...and Dane?"I saw how Justin's face changed. His h

I couldn't stop smiling at that text from Ethan. Somehow I feel better.I still have a few hours left for my break, so I answered them one by one. I put Wella's first, Anne, Ethan's last.I put his name in my contact lists as Ethan. I've saved it so I won't have to think about who the unknown number is texting me.Me to Wella:that's fine, besides, it's good that you didn't say it...maybe I didn't do my job right and failed the exam. so I understand you didn't tell me right away. Mama's condition is fine.I'm with Anne:I've been in the department for a while now. after our meeting I will go home. in our house.Me to Ethan:I didn't use it. Don't worry, I'll give it back to you and even if I haven't used it, I'll wash it. thank youI put the cellphone on the table and fixed my desk. Because of a week without work my desk is a bit dusty. Then my little trash bin is also full of trash.There are only three of us in the office including miss Stacey. One is Iya, she is doing something in

I was about to type something to reply to Ethan. When I heard a knock from the door."Hija...this is manang Dares. Your mom is waking you up and you're going to have dinner..."I smiled before answering. "I-I'm awake! I'll just get ready and then I'll go downstairs.""Alright hija, hurry up or the food will get cold on the chin."I didn't answer and just stood up. I fixed the bed and rubbed my face. Then, I went down. The whole house was quiet, because there were only a few of us here.I caught up with Mama who was sitting in her usual place. When he saw me, he immediately smiled."Eat son," I sat across from him.Lots of food. Everything looks delicious, but I don't feel like eating. I just took the right amount of food. I can really use you up.Then we started eating. It was also quiet, but Mama was smiling in front of me. So I smiled back at him too.That night ended quietly. I kissed Mama on the cheek before going to my room. I locked it, then I went to bed.The next day, I woke u

Justin's girlfriend is probably Dane!"Is that serious?"Anne nodded one after the other. So I looked up and closed my eyes. I also washed my face with my palm. I also ran my hand through my hair and straightened myself."Eh, didn't you pretend that brother Justin was your husband? How is that? Sir Ace caught brother Justin with someone else."I looked up at Anne. "P-it's possible that Justin cheated on me."Anne's face soured and shook her head. "That's what you're going to tell Sir Ace if he ever mentions it to you. I'm telling you, you're good at accusing. You're convincing!"I just had a bite of potato in my chicken curry. I don't know how to answer and I will tell Ethan if he mentions it to me.I'm sure he knows that I'm just lying. There is no more and no explanation is needed.What he had just witnessed and heard yesterday was enough. There is enough evidence that I am lying.Before he was definitely lying and I was just pretending.Now, he was definitely sure.But...I also thi

Because of the shock, I ended his call. My cellphone vibrated immediately.Ethan:did you kill? that means you are holding your phone. where are you? have you eaten?Me:sorry, yes, yes, and yes.Ethan:Shall we have a video call?Me:why?Ethan:I want to see you :((Ethan:my day was boring. we just spent the day in the dorm. then I just ate, played, ate, and slept.Me:that's good. besides the promotion, you have a lot of energy.Ethan:yes.

While riding the elevator, I texted Anne.Me:I'm going up there. are there any works?Next, I replied to Ethan.Me:rehearse well haha.The elevator rang and I put my cell phone in my pocket. I immediately walked to the COPT office. When I opened the door, everyone was focused on their computers.Then they looked at me when I opened the door.I was stunned for a moment because of the shame. I bowed and quietly went to my cubicle with Anne."Grand entrance yarn?"I pulled her hair. It's still annoying!"I texted you. I asked if you were doing anything, but you didn't reply!""Oh," he was still sitting in his seat. "Did you text?"He took the cell phone from his bag. And read my text. I just shook my head and turned on the computer in front of me.I took the phone out of my pocket because of the vibration. I thought it was Ethan who texted, it was the witch next to me.Anne:I see you were a baby earlier hihiMe:where?Anne:lobby, with Yuri and Uno. then miss Krystal. Miss Krystal's

My chest beat faster again. I didn't expect that question. Even though I wasn't the one being asked, I was nervous."Uh...for this one...I'll answer."The DJ put on sound effects. "Okay! So what's the answer?! My dear listeners, please listen carefully."Quiet. Everything is quiet. My co-workers suddenly fell silent. Even DJ, Riki, and Yuri are silent. Waiting for Ethan to answer."I don't know if I was allowed to tell this. But...yes, I am already interested in someone. That someone wasn't Krystal. In fact, she knows who that is.""Oh my goodness!""Come on, if it's not Krystal who is it?!"Everything returned to the noise. My co-workers had their own reactions. Someone still stood up. The noises from the speaker are laughter and the sound effects of the DJ."Alright, folks! We need to calm down. I know we're all freaking out! But! Can we know who's this lucky girl?"Ethan laughed softly which made my heart beat even faster. "Because she's very private. So I won't tell her name or an

"Yes, the news is that the Chairman took me on purpose to become a trainee again. Do you know that the Chairman's favorite..."I just sighed when I heard that. That's not new to me. Someone always notices that I'm attached to the Chairman and what they say. I'm really nervous that if I make my debut... they'll think it's because of the Chairman.I just laugh at my fellow trainees for teasing me. Tonight, the big night. Tonight it will be known who will debut in HBLE's new boy group. I was so nervous that I sang in the bathroom to calm myself down. Then now, I laugh at their teasing. They say I need Miss Soho's help to find Ms. Lily is back again.I was very itchy after my name was mentioned. I can't hold the mic properly. My voice trembled while speaking in front of many people, the producers, the Chairman, Risen and especially Seventh.My trembling turned to joy when my friend's names were also mentioned. We hugged as we completed the debut tonight.I was so happy when I found out th

"You're down here, pre," I said to my friend at the computer shop.I was on my way home because I passed by a computer shop so I stopped for a while. My broken brother scolded me. He changed our Wi-Fi password! So I can't play! My examinations are over. I don't have a pile of plates anymore.Broken people do things differently. Ts He's still able to ground me, right? I'm in my second year of college. Really crazy.Every click I make on the mouse and the keyboard is fast. I've put up with the headphone being stuck in my ear even though it smells different. I'll just take a shower when I get home."The strength of one of our opponents," said the person next to me who is my ally. I also only met him here at the computer shop. He saw that I was playing as well as he was playing so he invited me."Gosh, that's okay. Just don't let it go," I answered him.Apart from my addiction to music, it is also one of my preoccupations. Especially in the first weeks after that night. I made it a distra

"Alright Ace, go with sister Jing. Mommy will follow okay?"I was crying tightly hugging Mama. I don't understand why he is sending us home together with sister Jing when we can all go home together.While I was hugging him tightly, he was pushing me away. He was trying to get out of my embrace. Why?"M-Mommy, please go together p-po..."-Son, Mommy will be next okay? I'm just going somewhere—""Come on Ace," Kuya said coldly.I ignored him so he joined in pulling me away from Mama. Mama just nodded and smiled at me. While I was losing and trying to get out of the hands of sister Jing and brother Manu.No! I don't want to go home without Mommy! I kept crying that I didn't care if people were looking at me. In the car I stiffened, all the doors were locked. I wasn't there and I still hurt Kuya. While sister Jing took care of me and prevented me from getting out of the car.I didn't mean to punch Kuya in the face.I looked at the back of the car as we drove away from our favorite restau

"H-Huh? What do you mean we should stop? Stop from breathing? Stop from talking? Eating? What Lily Iris?"I want to stay serious but I can't. Especially and I can see the confusion on his face. It's like he's crying again."Why? Did I do something wrong? Was it about the text? I was just joking! So, please baby tell me what exactly do you want us to stop? I-Is my courtship? Y-You want me to stop now? Why? D-Did I rush everything again? I already told you, we will keep this slow..."His eyes fell to the floor. I bit my lower lip to stop laughing. He will not be my Eltan if he is not this OA. He wouldn't be this Eltan that I liked before if he didn't think ahead. A different Eltan is in front of me now if he doesn't cry because of the frustrations he feels."Yes Ethan," I tried to keep my voice cool. "I want you to stop flirting with me. I want you to stop, let's stop this."He looked up at me and smiled weakly. He nodded one after the other."I see, I know that from the beginning it is

I clenched my hands under the table. What Ethan said made my head hurt. I don't know who I should really be angry with for what happened to us.Many names are mentioned. I don't know which of them to blame. Iya, Gavyn, Chairman, Ethan, or myself."But the Chairman was even angrier with what Serrah did and when I said that I would also re-release a statement. He stopped me. Do you remember when I was alive? I told you that I would make my statement on the issue live. I didn't who was able to say more because of the Chairman."He continued. He tried several times to issue a statement but the Chairman always blocked it. He apologized to me because he was unable to release the statement he knew I was waiting for. But I didn't answer. I let him talk. He has also grinned. That's why I rarely talked to him then.I thought it was because he was affected by the issue. By the way, he was facing something more serious. What I think about him is why he doesn't want or doesn't have a statement rel

They laughed so I couldn't stop laughing. Fortunately, the workers at the firm that Justin works for are kind and hardworking. They had started less than half a day, they had finished quite a bit."Miss Ganda, do you have a boyfriend yet?""Miss Ganda has a girlfriend! Didn't you hear what Architect said earlier? Miss Ganda is hers!"They kept teasing the one who asked if I had a boyfriend. I was about to say that I don't have a boyfriend, when someone asked me again."Do you always visit here, miss Ganda?""Uh, I don't know. Besides, you can just call her Lily," I told them."Alright Lily!"I just smiled at them again and told them to continue eating. After a while I decided to go home. I said goodbye to them and they were even sad and said that I would visit again.I just said I would try. Especially I'm waiting for someone to accept me at work. Ethan has also disappeared from the surroundings. I don't know where he went. But I didn't see him until I got in the car.I just drove hom

"Thanks, Hijo, but aren't you busy? Are you really sure you'll accept this? I can get some architects from the firm that Justin works for if you're busy. It's embarrassing-""No Tita, we have a three-month break. So, I'm not that busy. Besides, I want to keep my promise. Even if it's just my promise to you," he said calmly.I scoffed at what he said.I drank the shake that was in front of me. We have food on the table. There are three Filipino dishes, there are also cakes for dessert. I was the only one who had a shake while the three of them had one pitcher of iced tea.It's good and he has a word. He was also right, he fulfilled the words he left to Mama. Even those promises he made to Mama."Okay, so do we have a deal?" the two men exchanged glances. "I will talk to Atty. so he can arrange a contract and some important papers. Then, we will have another meeting if the construction starts..."After the conversation, we started eating. Mama and Justin are still talking continuously w

I accept it.It took me a long time to admit to myself that I accepted Ethan without him.I had to see him happy with Serrah before I decided to forget him. I had to get tired and chase before I accepted that I wasn't really me anymore. I tried several times, I begged and begged and insisted. And he only answered one thing..."Please Ethan," I cried to him.I caught him alone in the dressing room and took that chance to talk to him. No one else and just the two of us. I don't even know how and why I ended up here."I told you, Lily. I don't want it anymore. We're done. What else do you want to hear?" The irritation was obvious in his voice.I stepped closer to him but he also stepped away. I sighed."I want you to take back everything you said.""I have nothing to take back. Everything I said, I stand by."I sobbed. "Is that all? You're just going to throw everything away? I thought-""Didn't I tell you to forget everything?" he already thinks badly of me. "And stop me, please. My dec

The days passed quickly.It's my last day in the department.I will move again and meet new faces and new personalities.I'm in Gavyn's office, he's fixing my paper. In order for me to reach the top, I will let them shop for the department for me. They will base Ethan's comments on me. How I am at work and his personal opinions about me.I patiently waited for Gavyn to sign and comment on each page of thick paper. It took him half an hour to sign and write. He sorted the papers back into my folder. Then he handed it to me."Is it okay if I ask you how's your experience working in a cafeteria?"I sat up straight. "Uh, at first I was a bit... scared. Because we were talking before that the new senior in the department was rude and strict. So I did my best not to make a mistake so I wouldn't get yelled at or scolded. But as time went on working here, I noticed that the senior here is not really rude and strict. It's a good workplace, less hassle compared to my past departments. Maybe I'l
