CHAPTER VII. START OF ANOTHER DREAM

Marian’s eyes look three times bigger in amazement after I tell  her what had really happened yesterday. We were through with our “Tom and Jerry” sickness and now we are seriously talking about my painting job.

“So, you never had a talk yesterday,” Marian said.

“Yes, I never heard his voice.”

“That’s why you are having a day dream with his picture,” Marian is teasing me again.

“I’m just looking at it so that I could make an excellent painting. Girl, this will be my masterpiece!”

“How much?” She is referring to the amount stated in the contract.

“Fifty thousand,”

“Wow! Fifty thousand salary for one month. Congratulations, girl!”

“It’s a one-month job only, so don’t call it monthly salary. After this, I don’t know when will be the next job or if I will have another client again.”

“I said salary for one month. Not monthly salary. They’re different,” Marian reacted.

“I hope Mr. Morales will like my painting.”

“He will. Just do your best and prove to all that your painting is the best of  all. Go, girl!”

 

Marian was no longer there in the room but still I am talking to myself like she’s there.

“I will do my best , girl. I promise. This will be my masterpiece!”

I lay down and close my eyes to give myself a break. I want a little sleep. Tomorrow will be the start of my battle.

LOL again ~ hahaha ~ sorry i can't help it ~ maybe because it's becoming clear to me now but then again I'm just surprise on how you manage to put bits and piece of the main plot and divided it into chapters that makes your reviewer(me, a bit confuse)

and then di mo sinabi sa last chapter na picture pala ni mr. Morales yung ipipinta mo... his picture ~ i thought its a picture he has chosen to be a subject ~ you didn't say anything about doing a portrait :) ~ sana nag discuss ka ng konti doon sa discussion ng secretary...para may info a bit :)
good chapter ~

Novella lang kasi kaya parang puro summary yan. Pag humaba pa yan, novel na, matagal yan gawin. Hehe. May Book 2 kasi ako, doon naman elaborated yung past na yan at love story nila ng asawa niya.
Thnaks for reading.

yes i understand :) ~ pero may nabasa akong novella noon ~hellboundheat by clive barker ~ i really thought it was a novel kasi the same lang naman kasi yung elements ng storyline but just short ~ yours is unique ~ i can say quite a fast-track scenes ....
