Boodle Fight

"Hello? Look at Howard, all the women around are having a crush on him. I'm with the woman who has a crush on him though. Because he’s nice and has become more energetic than he was before," Lucille said with a shudder.Zannie suddenly pinched her on the side. "Jokes on you, don't you have another crush? How's Arnaldo?"Arnaldo is also a friend of theirs and Zannie knows that Lucille has always been in-love with that young man ever since."Why? Will I just let myself root for the only one I like? Are we, huh? I have no commitment to anyone so I'm free to have a crush on someone else. I'm not like you Zannie—I’m not like you who feel so committed with the guy who can’t even reciprocate your feelings for him."There was a moment of silence between the two. Lucille covered her own mouth, maybe she offended Zannie because of the last thing she said. Ever since then, even though Zannie doesn't admit to her, she is aware of Zannie’s one sided love for Jacob. During the time they were togeth

Honest Remarks

Zannie was slightly conscientious. To think that Howie would curl up while sleeping in the cold outside seems excessive and cruel if considered. "Can you sleep here outside?"Howard smiled again. “How about you? Can you bear to see me sleeping here outside? I'll have a hard time and I'll be very cold. Jacob said that you should be kind to me." There was a mixture of sarcasm in the tone of Howard's words. On his side, he must show that Zannie's behavior is still understandable. That was Jacob's order, he needed to befriend her so that his grades would not be dropped in the evaluation. And he found out here that Zannie is also in Trias, it's just for Jacob because they were also talking last month."Oh go ahead, you're just there in our barracks," Zannie was forced to reply. As for her, she should still be kind to Howard because he might complain to Jacob and claim that she’s mistreating him."All right."They were walking quietly toward the barracks when Zannie suddenly stepped on the

Profession Revealed

"It's fun to watch the clouds, isn't it Howard? It's proof that the storm is over, because the sun is peeking out. At least, we all can feel at ease."Zannie could not hear the conversation between Nurse Andrea and Howard. As usual, the woman was like a lizard again. What she sees can ruin a good mood ahead of her..'Obviously she likes Howard, but she should just at least act like she’s hard to get,’ said one side of her brain while simply stealing a look at the two."Hey hey hey! You look cute. No jokes, you look like lovers." She heard the words of a medtech staff member who is with them now, referring to Howard and the pretty nurse who seemed to be agreed by others."Ms. Andrea is single, eh you Mr. Howard, do you have a girlfriend?" insert another of their fellow medtech staff.Howard shook her head and laughed. "No, I only have a profession to take care of once this volunteerism is over.”"So nothing? We're the same." Nurse Andrea couldn't help but laugh at Howard's indirect an

Make Things Clear

“He told me a quote that was really inspiring. That children can also see the light at the end of the tunnel. He is no longer bossy. He is also less passive when speaking. He is no longer picky about food. He is willing to act; he plays close attention to the leader’s instructions. He is a gentleman. He no longer complains. He communicates well.”Howard smiled as he was walking to the car where he was going to sleep for tonight. He was able to read those enumerated remarks about him in just twenty seconds or less. Even though Zannie was being cold and mean to him, she still even gave him good remarks regarding his performance and demeanor while doing humanitarian work in Trias.“I must give her a proper reward. Or should I say, I must do her a favor since she gave me a good grade,” he said and closed his eyes while still thinking of her. ***Zannie also found time to hand Howard's evaluation sheet to Jacob. It is true that Jacob is not on duty yet so Zannie has to follow him in his

Insulting Words

Another day ended when the team was very busy with the medical supplies to be given to the camp. Only then did Howard have time to talk to Zannie again and find her in the barracks where she was staying."Zannie? Are you there?" he began while knocking on the door. Howard had to wait a little over a minute before Zannie opened the door for him."What's the matter? Why are you looking for me? Have you discovered that I sent your evaluation form?" Zannie inquired as she faced the young handsome man who, as usual, made her heart tremble for unknown reasons."Actually, I just want to ask you out," Howard stated flatly."Huh? What do you mean?" Zannie inquired, perplexed."I mean, I'd like to have dinner with you, just the two of us," Howard explained."That's not going to happen; I've been working with the medical team all day," Zannie said bluntly."What's the point?""What's the big deal?""I'm tired like you, and I have some things to say," Howard explained.“You can say it here. Don’t

Empathetic

Zannie's vision seemed to blur. The insult she heard was like a dagger repeatedly stabbing her heart. She thought that the pain caused by her suerior's words were unendurable. As long as she can, she promised before that she would not cry while in front of them in the evacuation center even though there were even more tearful situations she experienced in this place. But this man is overdoing it. She knew his plans to smuggle other relief goods and to sell them to distant places to fill their pockets but she couldn't get enough and solid proof. She still remained silent because she didn't want trouble but she wouldn't let him blame her for the misfortune once this thing is revealed to the public. She just bowed and chose not to speak. Howard noticed her tears. Zannie is not good at hiding it no matter how she tries to act tough in front of everyone. All of them are throwing sympathies to her but just keep their mouths shut. For sure, the silence are because of their absolute fear for

Unique Camaraderie

"Did he ask you something else, Zannie? I think that man has connections behind his back that's why he had the guts to flaunt his authoritative power.”Zannie shook her head and paused for a while. Two of them decided to clean the other barracks while their other colleagues are away and still serving in the evacuation center. “Just don't mention him. It makes me annoyed again, especially with him! He's really a monkey!"“Okay okay. I won't mention it. By the way, can you teach me how to quickly remove the dust under the bed?”"I'll teach you how, I will show you how", Zannie said and this time, she came closer to Howard but she could feel his nervousness and fear. “Why are you trembling? Are you afraid of the dark?” Zannie asked, she's a bit concerned.Howard nodded timidly and distanced himself away from the bed.“I'm a bit scaredy cat and people tell me that it wasn't obvious. When I was younger, I used to have fear of being under the bed because of some horror movies that I watch

Friendly Dinner

"The dinner is ready. Eat it." Zannie handed a bowl with a newly boiled egg on it."Thank you," he replied nicely. He didn't ask Zannie to prepare something for him after they safely arrived at the barracks and cleaned other rooms for their fellow colleagues. But he concluded, that was just the girl's way to thank him for saving her out of embarrassment.“That’s our first dinner, Mr. CEO,” Zannie said as she started to eat her own food. The young man just let her go first. But she noticed how Howard remained staring at her and still did not eat the food she had prepared for him. "Is there any problem?" She deliberately released the spoon from her hands because she was conscious of Howard's stare; she probably had put more salt in the boiled egg in his dish."Nothing." Howard even smiled at her before he started eating. Zannie just nodded. "If you don't like the dish, I'm sorry. The canned goods you often eat are also out of stock. Maybe our comrades already consumed all of them." S

A Sudden Question

"Howard?"His smile automatically registered on his face when Zannie called him by his name. He immediately looked at her. "Why? Are you done with your dinner?"Zannie nodded. "By the way, you can sleep inside. I'll just wait for Lucille and where she can sleep, I'll just be there.""But, that's a quarter.""No, ah. She said we'll be there first on the other side, with the new volunteers." She smiled prettily. Howard is even more fond of looking at her. "I can sleep here, oh." Howard pointed to the bamboo bench he was sitting on, it was even big enough for a person to sleep on and there was no need to bend over. "The breeze is nice out here, I can sleep easier. Go to sleep too, Zannie."Howard even demonstrated that he can sleep on that bench. He was able to fit himself. He's tall but he knows that he can sleep there comfortably."I've been tired all day due to the amount of relief goods distributed earlier. I'm used to it."Zannie could do nothing but shake her head. She couldn't

Another Romantic Dream

“It's almost 6 in the evening, nobody's here to help us.” Zannie was yawning while speaking. She couldn't help herself not to feel hopeless at this moment. Howard tried to call them so many times but none of them were reachable as of now.“I don't want to assume this, but what if that medical head stopped our colleagues from sending help?” Howard assumed.“I'm thinking the same way.” Zannie got out of the vehicle but she stumbled upon realizing it was still raining outside.“I just can't stay here and wait for them,” she grumbled.“You should wait here, okay?” she added and stood up.“Hey, where do you think you are going? Don’t you know how dangerous it is for you to go alone?” Howard argued.“What do you want me to do then? Stay still and wait for nothing? I don’t want to waste time though,” Zannie reasoned.Howard shook his head and just adjusted Zannie's position, he even removed the tuxedo coat he was wearing and that served as Zannie's blanket.“What are you doing?” Zannie sudde
