Still Dark, Love (Still Series #1)

Hakbang 49

"Are you sure about this, Hashline?"

Iyan ang bungad sa akin ni Sasha matapos kong sabihin sa kaniya ang mga planong gagawin ko.

"Yes, Sasha. I already think about this twice and my decision's still the same. I'll quit modelling." Ani ko.

Tumango siya at tinignan ang mga papeles kung nasaan ang mga brand na may kinalaman ako. It's been two months that I constantly rejected any offer. I just don't feel like doing it.

Don't get me wrong. I love modelling. At first, it was not really my thing but then as time passes by, I learned to love it. It gave me more confidence within myself and it empowers me in so many ways.

Right now... I just think that it's not really my passion. Modelling isn't my passion.

There are things in life you'll love but that doesn't mean it's already your passion. I love modelling but I can't see myself doing this work for the next years. I am grateful for the opportunities it gave me but I think... it's the end of it.

I want to focus on our business. Sayang naman ang inaral ko kung hindi ko mapapakinabangan. Isa pa, ako rin naman talaga ang magmamana noon kaya mas mabuting ngayon palang, umpisahan ko na ang pagmamanage.

"I'll contact all the brands and will inform them about your brand pullouts. I'll check some contracts, too. Kung may malalabag ka ba at kailangan mong tapusin ang mga iyon." Ani Sasha.

Ngumiti ako. "Thank you, Sasha. I'll breach the contract. Sorry. I'll just pay the damages."

"Alright, Hashline. I'll contact you once it's all settled. For now, I'll give you two days to fully think about this."

Tumango ako sa kaniyang sinabi at ngumiti. I already think about this. Two days won't change my mind.

I'll still quit.

Ang buhay na pinapangarap ko ay iyong tahimik at walang ibang tao ang nanggugulo. I realized that the industry I am into doesn't give me the life I wanted for so long.

Maingay sa industriyang ito at maraming opinyon ang mga tao. I don't wanna live based on their opinions of me. I don't want to cause troubles to the people around me. The only opinions that will matter in my life is my opinion of myself and the opinion of my loved ones.

Kinuha ko ang bag ko at maayos na nagpaalam kay Sasha. Maraming papel na nakalatag sa lamesa niya at halatang busy. Hindi lang rin kasi ako ang hinahandle niya.

Nagpasalamat ako sa lahat ng tulong niya sa akin tapos ay lumabas na ng kanyang opisina.

Today... I'll celebrate with Riordan.

For the past two months too, their business fully bloomed. Kung successful na noon ay mas successful na ngayon. Yesterday he closed another deal with an international company so we decided to celebrate it.

Nga lang at nasa flight pa siya at sa ibang bansa naganap ang pagcloclose ng deal kaya habang hinihintay pa siya ay magmamall na lang muna ako.

I am alone today coz my friends and cousins are busy with their own thing. I am busy with my own business, too.

Sa paglabas sa industriya ng pagmomodelo, papasukin ko naman ang industriya ng pagnenegosyo. I am planning to build a salon so I am researching things about it. Nililista ko na din ang mga supplier na pagkukuhanan ko kung sakali mang matuloy ang plano ko na ito.

Since I love everything about hair and nails, I think this is a perfect business venture for me.

Pinatunog ko iyong kotse ko pagdating sa parking lot at agad na pumasok. I put my things on the shot gun seat and settled myself after. I checked my phone to see if there's any message from Riordan, but there's none.
