Rejection and YOU Chapter 8
“I’m a good listener,” he spoke softly. I took a deep breath a few times and when I calmed down, “Sorry, it’s just a sad day for me.” He hummed. “When I’m sad, I used to do this one thing,” He was talking like we’re good friends and I did not mind. “What?” I replied, almost breathless from crying. “First.... stop crying,” He clucked his tongue and twisted his lips. He stood properly. “Second, stand up,” He offered his right hand for me to hold. I was hesitant, but he seemed to have that wonderful spirit and I didn’t want to disappoint him. I knew he was trying to help and ease my emotion. He held my hand for support as I reached for my bag. “I know an alternative way to go out of this campus swiftly,” He sounded so sure, but “Don’t you have class?” I asked worriedly. He told me they have an exam, but he got exempted. That was why he spends his free time wandering around. I wondered why a student like him could get exempted, and I couldn’t think of any reason. “Why?” sniffing, I

When we were inside my house, I right away went to the kitchen to make our food. I have no talent for cooking, so for us to have food on the table quickly, I cooked noodles and steamed buns.“Sorry, I don’t have expertise in cooking,” I apologized, but he shrugged it off. He gobbled on his food and seemed famished. “Did you eat your lunch today?” I wondered because I'd never seen him that ravenous. “I did,” he replied hastily. “So why does it seem you’re starving?” I creased my brows and pouted at him. “It’s not every day that you cook for me,” he winked with a satisfied smile. I flushed but did my best to stay composed. He was acting weird and being sweet at the same time. His gestures puzzled me immensely.When he finished all the food in front of us, it was funny because I wasn’t sure if it tasted good. For me, it was the usual savor. I could only shake my head at the thought.While I was tidying the kitchen, I let him watch a movie in my small living room. He already visited my

In the afternoon, I went to the orphanage to help watch the toddlers. From afar, saw Heidi busy preparing the meals for us to feed them. I really admired her wholeheartedness of aid to the children.“Hi, Ara! I’m glad you’re able to help today,” Miss Victoria, the head of the children’s care, never missed to always thank me for my dedication. “We received another child today,” She let me know, and the pity was clearly visible in her eyes. She said the little girl’s parents died in a tragic car accident and they left her alone without a trace of any members of her family.“I feel sorry for the child,” I sighed while dancing with a sleeping little boy in my arms. If I wasn’t mistaken, the orphanage had already thirty little angels in their care. My involvement in the institution helped me realize that even though I suffered from depression for what happened to me, I’m more fortunate than them because I got the chance to be with my parents while growing up until I reached my early teens

The next day, I stepped inside the office, anticipating a bright day from Miss Vera. As expected, I sighted her with a grin on her face.“Ciara, Amber already sent their purchase order. Have you seen it?” She asked while I put down some documents on her table.“Yes, Miss Vera,” I stood still, waiting if she has instructions to say.“Call Mr. Henry to start the production right away. I want us to complete the delivery a week before our agreed deadline.” She was back from being strict, which I’m used to. I nodded before I turned my back to do the task. Right after I dropped the phone after speaking to Henry, I sighted Iris pacing toward me. She was beaming with a bouquet of white roses in her arms. I got puzzled if Miss Vera’s husband surprised her or if they are celebrating a special occasion in their life.“They are beautiful flowers,” I complimented tenderly. My heart melted seeing such fresh and fragrant flowers. It could please every woman’s heart who can receive such a present.“

I slouched in my seat and blew a long breath. I was firm with my decision not to start or send him even a piece of a text message, but his actions brought me to the edge of breaking it.I took a deep breath six consecutive times, as I always do whenever I’m restless, and picked up my phone.“Stop sending me flowers. It’s not helping me at work,” straightforward, but that was the best thing to say. He was sturdy to understand that I wanted nothing to do with him anymore. I wasn't naive and indeed, he did it intentionally for me to succumb to my decision of not talking to him. Ironic, but he triumphed. As quick as a lightning, his name came flashing on my screen. I rolled my eyes, unable to determine whether to answer him or not. He was imposing chaos on my mind and heart.“What do you want?” irked and you could tell it in my tone. There was no need for me to hide that I’m unpleased talking to him. “I’m glad you picked up my call,” sounded calm, and I didn’t know how long his patience

“Hi Mr. Ford, I’m so pleased you accepted my invite,” Mr. Smith enthusiastically welcomed Denver’s team. They firmly shook hands while I stayed behind with a disrupted heart and mind. “This is Meadow Parker, the woman I mentioned to you when we spoke the last time,” he introduced naturally like a true business person. "Well, he really is" I hissed at the foolish thought.Meadow showed her captivating smile while shaking hands with Mr. Smith. Everyone exchanged hi’s and hello’s before Miss Vera announced and motioned us to the dining table.Mr. Smith sat down on the head of the table while Miss Vera was positioned on his left side and Denver across from her. But before Denver could settle on his seat, he pulled a chair for Meadow and they looked sweet together.“Such a gentleman,” I muttered mentally. I felt something sting in my chest that brought discomfort to my system. Truth be told, the wave of those jealous days I had for her before awakened from the very moment I saw her again.

“What happened?” he asked as soon as I rolled down my window. As much as I wanted to stay away from him, I felt fate was taunting me.“My car is in trouble,” I told him to just go because I’m bound to call the emergency hotline for help. “I’ll send you home. Just leave the car here and I’ll send someone to take care of it,” he offered, but I had no plan of coming with him. “Denver, just go,” I exclaimed exasperatingly, but he was hard-headed to let it go.“Ara, it’s already dark, and it’s too far from your house,” he kept on reiterating that it’s risky to wait alone for help. “Don’t be stubborn. It’s for your safety,” he was trying his best to convince me. “Will you just go?” I burst, clearly annoyed at wasting my three minutes talking to him. He growled at my firmness as he tried to collect more patience. In the side mirror of my car, I sighted someone stepping out of his car, and of course, I recognized Meadow instantly.She walked flawlessly toward us, “Denver?” and called softly

True to his words, he only spent around 10-15 minutes inside the institution. I did not know what he and Mrs. Victoria had talked about, but I felt good that he'd never forgotten about the children. He may not have seen those kids we helped before who got adopted by kindhearted couples, but what matters is how he still values the institution with compassion.“Where do I drop you?” I was driving out to the main street while he was sitting calmly on the shotgun.“My place,” and responded he’ll guide me on how to get there. I hummed and nodded in return. Unlike our previous encounters, the atmosphere inside of me seemed fine. Maybe because Meadow was not around or because I gradually accepted the fact that I needed to live through being civil with anyone.“How did you know I was at the orphanage today?” I couldn’t hold myself to asking out of curiosity.He puffed. “I trusted my luck,” He let me know he pulled over to my house but found out I wasn’t there, so he drove off to the orphanage

Rejection and YOU Chapter 69
I succeeded in inviting Ciara to dinner and had the chance to talk about us. I got to say those things I hid inside my heart for a long time. Although it wasn't as easy as I expected for her to grasp my reasons, I tried my luck to make her understand. Unfortunately, she was resolute about her decision not to get us back together. However, giving us up wasn't included in my options. Not that I could sense she was gradually losing her guard against me. Unlike the first few weeks of seeking her attention, I could tell she was getting more amicable toward me. Traveling from Cancun back to Harrisburg went smoothly. I offered to send her home after the rain poured unexpectedly and at that moment she agreed, I thought it was a good sign for the two of us. Unluckily, after being careless, it only ended to be the worst. She discovered I got someone around to get her followed and that made her infuriated. I did my best to justify my basis yet it only went into nothing. Rationalizing my action w

As soon as I got back to Seattle, I resumed the business launching with Mr. Barnes. In a short period of time, it was a hit. Competitors were astounded by the newest innovation from One Guard Electronic System. Clients and business associates lined up to get our services. In a span of a year, after introducing the design I uniquely created, it gave so much benefit to the company. Mr. Barnes's riches tripled just like that."Mr. Barnes, I'm ready to build my own company in Harrisburg," I discussed my plan with him. I negotiated it before we started the debarkation of the design in Seattle and I told him it was time for me to go back to my State. I was able to help him to reach the top of the industry and I believed, it was enough for him to let me go.With thorough deliberation, we ended up with a discreet decision.

DENVER's POVEverything between us seemed perfect and we were contented around each other until my near graduation. Mr. Parker laid out opportunities for me from different companies and their offerings were tremendously enticing. I was overwhelmed and it was hard to choose from the list. Mr. Parker was the reason why I got so many proposals to pick from because I was really eyed for my potential. As we discussed the best company that could give me the fastest growth, One Guard Electronics Systems caught my attention. As I read their company profile and the main concept of the business, I was triggered to be part of the team. Their structure was what I'm looking for. However, it wasn't as simple as I thought. It would be in Seattle and it was a home program. I would be away for around 2 to 4 years depending on how rapidly we could program the possible security system device project for every household. The company was aiming to create the most innovative program and be number 1 in th

DENVER'S POV When I went to college, it was just a typical apartment and campus daily routine. I was keen to finish my course on top because I believed I'm capable of it. I swore to just focus on my studies and avoid vices that could be a distraction along the way. Among those were partying, smoking, drugs, and women. I had my goals and timeline of everything that I wanted in life. I'm very particular with my plans as well as utilizing my full potential in my chosen field. I only had a few friends while at the University. I couldn't say they were my best friends because I didn't want to get close to anyone around. I was very occupied with my lessons and I used to be alone just to review and ace my exams. Yet sometimes, even if we do things in our own ways and how much we try to stay away from all the diversions we set for ourselves, there will always be something to occur beyond our control. One afternoon, I was sitting under a gigantic tree trying to solve a calculus problem whe

"Baby, relax! Let's get you to the hospital," Denver was trying to calm me down yet he was looking more freaked out knowing I was going to give birth. I held onto him because the pain was increasing and the contraction did not subside. "Mommy, what is going on?" Catie was frightened seeing us panic-stricken. Mindy grabbed her hand and told her to stay away from us because the baby is coming very soon. Denver called Alfie and in haste, the car was in front of our house. Gladly, we were able to collect all the necessary stuff in preparation for my delivery and readied it in the compartment of the vehicle. Truth be told, we organized everything a month before my expected due date. As soon as Denver settled me in the back seat, we left the house in a hurry. Inside the labor room, the nurses were very accommodating. I felt like my energy got drained because of the pain. I was all sweaty while Denver kept on caressing my back. The pity and worry mixed up and it was clearly printed on h

Meadow organized a baby shower party a week before my expected delivery date. She decorated one of our living rooms into a party event space. When I was called by Lea to go downstairs, my lips parted at how beautifully embellished our place was. Unaccountable blue balloons were hanging everywhere and bags of presents were gathered on a table near the improvised platform."This is too much, Meadow," I was still in awe. She pulled me towards the center before she motioned for Iris to start the program. The two of them prepared a few games that we enjoyed so much as well as delicious food to gobble on. Well of course, with the help of Mindy. The cupcakes were so enticing that I got to eat two pieces in a row.Honestly, it was only an intimate party because we only got those we used to have around the house every day. After opening all the gifts they prepared for the baby, Catie presented to sing for me and for her little brother. We all gathered to listen to her and it was a wonderful of

My Dearest Ciara,I know that a million apologies can't suffice for the unfair treatment I have done to you. It was improper to leave you and your Mom. Even if I got the chance to explain everything to you, you wouldn't understand my reasons. I ain't a perfect father to you and far from being one because I'm covered with flaws and faults. I inflicted so much pain in your heart and I can't blame you for the hatred you possessed for me. I'm not expecting your forgiveness but I just want you to know that I feel very sorry for everything I have done. I'm very proud of what you have become. You are strong and you deserve the happiness the almighty is pouring onto you and your family. We don't deserve any help from you but you chose to still deliver kindness in return. Maybe whatever is happening to me and my family is a retribution for all my sins. I was so selfish way back for following my happiness which caused you and your mom to suffer from the pain and hardships moving forward.

"Calm down! It's Brie telling me she bought a luxury bag online," Iris spoke vaguely. My brows crinkled at why she overreacted to Brie buying a bag. She was exaggerated as always. "What's with the bag?" Meadow couldn't get it too. "Guess who was the seller?" Iris asked and we couldn't think of someone. Honestly, we were not fond of buying luxuries online. Not sure about Meadow but as far as I knew she used to visit and see the items firsthand before acquiring them. "It's the bitch, Olga!" she exposed that Olga sold the handbag for a meager price. Meadow and I stared at each other in disbelief. "Are you sure?" Meadow asked her one more time. Even I couldn't believe that Olga went to the extent of selling her valuable possession. It was an attestation that she is running out of money for her bills and everyday expenses. "Karma is real," Iris muttered although we did not wish Olga to suffer such misery. "Alright, enough of her. Let's go get some food, I'm hungry," I complained bec

Felt like my heart was ripping into pieces to see my friend at a total loss sitting outside of the hospital morgue. She was covered in sorrow and in despair. If only she could hand over some of the pain she was dealing with in her heart, I would be glad to carry it just to lessen its heaviness. "Iris, please know that we are here for you." I consoled her cautiously because I knew she only have her mother left when her Dad passed away. And now that the most important human being in her life was gone, the devastation engulfed her entire system. I could absolutely feel the heartache because I experienced being left alone by my parents. Although our situation was different, the throbbing of our hearts did not vary. "Where is Mason?" I asked and she told me he was talking to one of the hospital staff about the arrangement of her Mom's discharge. Mason offered to settle everything because he knew Iris was mentally and emotionally wrecked. "Condolences, Iris," Denver offered his sympathy
