MET BY TRAGEDY

THREE YEARS AGO   Only the two of us stood beneath the frigid sky on a snowy December night.   He grabs my hands and pulls me in closer. His eyes, like mine, are full of bliss, which I believed could only happen in movies. The butterflies in my stomach began to tickle my entire body.   For me, it's a lovely night, and I'm feeling like a princess.   He's speaking with his heart rather than his words when he says, "Thank you for coming into my life, Selena."   My shaking hands smiled at him as they touched his face.   "Thank you for always making my heart warm, even when the weather was so chilly."   My eyes immediately closed

I awoke with a big grin on my face. I need to start my day off on a good note- "AHHHH!" When I heard Haxilla cry in the living room, I bolted. "Can you tell me what happened?" Brittany was the one who asked. "A cockroach flew on her body, and you know how much Hax despises cockroaches," she explained as she stood there watching Haxilla jump and roll around the room. "Did you simply stand there like that? Oh, please help me-ah!" Hax had fallen on the couch. With a shake of my head, I returned to my room. Later, when she realizes the cockroach has gone away from her, she will be fine. I can still hear her yells, but I choose to ignore them and prepare for my interview. Sel, be courageous and confident. You've got this! Haxilla stopped whining and began preparing breakfast as if nothing had happened

"Finally, we met," Ma'am Perfiana said as we exchanged handshakes.   "Yes, I'm really apologetic for the previous day; my documents got bogged down in a muddy puddle," I stated. Her face was filled with both confusion and worry.   "Why? What went wrong? "She inquired as she prepared her laptop for the interview.   "I got bumped by a jackass, grr nevermind," I joked, and she laughed as well.   We're seated on a bench outside the company, which is unusual for a job interview.   "By the way, ma'am, does the job interview have to take place within the company?" I inquired.   "Look at the spot where we are," she replied with a smile.   Only a few folks were walking there when I looked around. Unlike outside of a company, there is a low population count here. "All I see are people walking by..."   "The company was l

"Wait, you're saying the glasses you broke in your life are the most important requirement?" Incredulous, Haxilla inquired. In the interview, I told them everything that had happened the day before. "Yes, when I was aware of it. My heart was racing so fast, "I said this as I was cutting paper for a flower origami. We're assisting Britanny with her client's debut design. "That's strange. By the way, you're friends now with Haru?" Britanny inquired as she glittered the flowers. "No, I'm not sure. Perhaps just a casual get-to-know-each-other?" "Do you have a photo of him?" In response to Haxilla's question, I shook my head. My phone rang as we were putting the finishing touches on the flowers a

"Where did you go the day before? What made Britanny come to you first?" While preparing breakfast, Haxilla inquired. "I went to the mall to get the foods you requested," I explained while eating my bread and chatting with Haru on Instagram. He texted me last night about what happened to us in his car. It is, however, very good. Shocks, every time I recall my cheeks burning up. We've only known each other for about a month, but we did that "thing." He sends me random messages, tells me jokes and serious stuff, but never mentions his personal life. I didn't coerce him into telling me; it's still his personal space. Everytime he sents a message, I can't stop myself to smile, it always gives me a butterfly in my stomach feeling. "Hey, who's that guy that made you blush?" Britanny suddenly took my phone away so I need to chase her. I'm dead i
