Chapter 5(Here We Go)

Akesha’s Ponit of View

I am already here inside of the Hera Publishing building waiting for my turn for my interview. My hands are shaking as a result of my nervousness I felt. I trust my self, and I'm sure that I will make it. Only two applicants before me, and whenever someone comes out to the HR office with a big smile, I'm become really nervous. I believe they have succeeded, and I am becoming uncertain and hopeless. I just remember what Shainna said to me. 

“Dont be nervous. Just focus to your goals and be proud. Don't forget to be honest because honesty is the besh policy.” she said.

I smiled because of the thought. Shainna is the best. She always help me in her own way.

Next…

Next…

Next, Anderson. Come in.

When I step into the room, I lose concentration when I see who my interviewer will be. This is no fetch. All of people, why Ms. Amanda? I guess she doesn't want me, considering the last time we encounter each other. She's so pretty, but so scary. I feel terrified, I think I've lost all confidence in myself.

“Sit-down, Ms. Anderson. You're wasting my time.” She doesn’t look at me but I felt heroo seriousness.

I came back to my senses and notice that my mind spaced out for a couple of minutes. It is a madness, I should be focus to my interview. I don't care who she was, and I'll do whatever I can to make this interview a success. I want to make a good impression.

I sat down and made sure I sat down properly. I greet Ms. Amanda and I chose the appropriate words to demonstrate professionalism. She gave me a nod and browse my application. I can't read her response to my application because she kept her poker face. This is so frustrating! I don’t know how to showcase my talent when I feel uncomfortable.

“Hmm. Good background, Ms. Anderson.” She smiled a bit and look into my eyes, and it help me to build my confidence. She’s so beautiful when she is smiling. I can help but I can smile as well. All of a sudden, she went back to being cold.

“You’re credentials is good. I want you to ask some questions. I have only one questions so you must answer carefully and do your best.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

“Okay, Ms. Anderson. Why you want to be a writer?” She looks into my eyes like she's reading my thoughts.

And then I start to wonder, if it is really my want or I’m doing it to revenge. But, deep in my heart I’d love use writing to show what I feel and to teach someone about life.

I smiled before I gave a response. I will say what ever I felt about being a writer.

“I like to writer because I can put all of my feelings into words and share my thoughts with others or with my readers. Writing lets me express myself in ways that I can’t say out loud. This might sound cheesy but it helps me escape reality. I want to create my own perfect world using my thoughts, paper and pen. I would love to feel my freedom to do the things I want to say out loud. When I was young, my mother used to tell me a story she wrote. She always make some poetry to describe me, to makes me happy, to make me inspired. My mother died, and I use writing a novel as a distraction, but then I just fell in love with writing.”

Judging by her reaction, she seems content. She nodded her head and held out a piece of paper that shocked me. O my gosh! I made it. The paper is a contract.

“You’re hired. I’m looking forward to work with you.” She said.

“Thank you so much. I promise I'll give it my best shot.” I get up right away and bow my head.

“Come on, read and sign the contract.”

I nodded and thoroughly read the contract and when I finished reading the contract, I signed it. I give it back the contract to Ms. Amanda. She scanned the paper and guided me to the things I have to do and not do. She also says that I can begin to work tomorrow morning. I’m really excited to start doing my job and this is the first step to achieve my goal to avenge the death of my mother and capture the culprit. Also, I want to enhance my knowledge, skills and writing ideas to make a good type of novel. Maybe I should come up to a plot so I could easily start the process of making a unique title, story characterization, story plot twist and others.

“You can go now. I expect you'll show up early tomorrow.”

“Yes, Ms. Amanda. Thank you so much for accepting me for the position.” I just keep my head down for a second. I can't stop smiling.

Next…

I leave the room with a big smile. I know I can make it. I'm sure Shainna will be happy if she finds out. I have my job. I can now earn money on my own. Before I left the building, there was a familiar man sitting on the bench inside the building. I don’t know why I approach him. I just did it, and I do know why. I just remembered that he is the man in the black shirt in the church incidents. This is so fetch. He's reading a magazine, and something's changed about the way he wears his clothes. He looks so professional at the moment, I can't see gangster vibes.

“Hey! Mr. Gangster.” I shouted.

I attract the attention of other people who are close to us, but Mr. Gangster still hasn't noticed my existence. me. God, I hate his guts. How can he just ignore me, I’m just standing in front of him. How dare him.

“Hey, gangster. Don't play stupid with me.” I repeatedly approach him and now I got his attention.

I can see in his reaction, confusion and irritations. What  a rude guy. I can easily read his reaction or am I just imagining things again. Based on how he reacted, he didn't know who I was. Maybe, he already forgot that encounter, and here I am doing some ridiculous thing. Maybe he doesn’t really remember what happened.

“Do  you remember me, Gangster? In the church?” I said. To help him to remember.

“I’m sorry, Miss. Are you talking with me?” he said with a tone of respect.

I’m actually confused right now. He’s so professional and full of manner when he’s speak. Haystt… I'm not sure whether it's someone else.

“Hey. Gangster is that really you?”

“I’m sorry, Miss. I think I know someone who truly resembles me.” He laughed and bring down the magazine and come near me.

“What do you mean?” I said nervous.

I step back one at a time and he’s still coming near to me. What is the problem of this guy and I don’t like the way he smiles. I backed away, but before I made another move, I hit somebody else. This is so not fetch. This is so awkward.

“Oh. Alright, here we go. My identical twin brother.” He smiles and I don't like his expression.

And what he just say? An identical twin brother. Omygash! My entire system cannot absorb what he is saying. To confirm with both eyes, I confronted someone I hit behind the back. My eyes got bigger when I confirmed what he says is true.

My eyes met the cold eyes and beautiful eyes of this gangster. I cannot move a single part of my body because I feel frozen. What the this is so embarrassing.

“Hey. Brother. I think you know this cute girl.” The guy in the suit said, and I feel like he's making fun of me.

I blushed, and I look down to hide it. This is so embarrassing and I don’t know how to escape this situation. Gangster is still silent. He's lookin' at his brother seriously.

“Easy brother. Don’t look at me like that. I will not.”

That gangster grabbed me and dragged me off, so I didn’t hear what her brother trying to say. I don’t really understand my self by letting this gangster dragged me. I just can’t complain. I did so much recklessness and I don’t want to add more. I He dragged me around and I noticed we were leaving the building. He hasn't stopped until I can't see Hera Publishing's building, so he’s taking me away to his brother. I don't know what their problem is, but I think there's a misunderstanding between the two.
