My Husband's Secret

Chapter 5

Kinabukasan ay inayos ko at nilakad ang mga papers na kakailanganin ko for applying a job. I didn't put my family background on my resume because I will be accepted immediately kapag nalaman nilang ako ang anak ni Zamuel Gray. And I don't want that. Gusto kong matanggap ako sa trabaho dahil sa sarili kong sikap. And I want to spent my seven remaining months by doing everything by myself.

The first reason is I want to learn how to do things on my own and second is Dad won't be there with me when I get married. Si Dad lang ang inaasahan ko sa lahat ng bagay. I'm depending myself on him.

I'm glad that I completed all of my requirements within the day at bukas ay makakapagsimula na akong magapply sa iba't ibang company at antayin kung tatawagan nila ako.

After completing all the requirements ay naginquire naman ako online about the upcoming board exam. They also sent me the requirements for the LEA or the Licensure Examination for Architect.

I found out that the board exam will be held on January, next year. So basically, I'm already married at that time dahil sa December ang kasal namin at May palang ngayon.

I have 7 months to prepare for the exam. Same span of time kung saan malaya ako.

I was busy applying job for the whole week and I'm drain kaya naman nakahilata lang ako sa kama ko at nago-overthink.

There are so many what ifs going through my mind. And it's freaking me out!

What if walang tumanggap sakin? Pano nalang, edi hindi ko din nagamit ang seven months para gawin ang gusto ko. Wala na akong ibang chance na gawin ang mga gusto kong gawin once I settled down with that annoying guy.

What if hindi na ako dito nakatira? Ano kayang mangyayari sakin? What if dito, what if doon. I'm an overthinker and I was interrupted by the sound of my ringing phone.

"Hello?" I asked the other line.

["Is this Ms. Zoey Gray?"] Tanong ng babae sa kabilang linya.

"Yes, how may I help you?"

["Oh, Im Ms. Angelica De Jesus, an agent of Y and Z Architecture and I'm here to inform you that you passed the first stage of applying to our company and you've been sorted out to proceed to an interview. I will inform you about the date and time of the interview. Have a good night! ."] Sabi ng nasa kabilang linya.

Oh my gosh, I cannot contain my happiness at muntik na kong mapatili on my phone! Tumikhim ako and acted professionally as I respond to her.

"Oh, Thank you so much!" And hanged up afterwards.

Nagtatalon at naggulong gulong na ako dito sa kama ko sa sobrang kilig! Sino ba naman hindi kikiligin sa balitang yon?!

Medyo humupa hupa na ang nararamdaman ko when my phone rang again.

"Hello? Zoey Gray speaking"

["Hello Ms. Gray, I'm Mr. Alan Aquino and I'm here to inform you that you will proceed to an interview for AE Architecture Company. I will inform you about the date and time of the interview. Thank you and have a good night!"] Wika ng boses sa kabilang linya.

Nagpapasalamat ako dahil nacontrol ko ang tili ko for the second time. As in ibang level na yung kilig ko ngayon.

"Thank you, sir" at pinatay nya na ang tawag.

Kung kanina ay pagulong gulong at patalon talon na ako sa kama ngayon na may ay may kasama pang paghampas at pagbalibag ng unan sa nananahimik na pader.

I can't believe that I will proceed to an interview for two companies! And mind you, hindi basta basta ang mga kompanyang iyon.

Nawala na ang pagrarally na nagaganap sa utak ko dahil sa mga natanggap kong tawag. Sa sobrang kilig ko ay tuluyan na akong nakatulog.
