Reverse

♥.....♥

Dressing up, I rushed to the kitchen and hard my already made breakfast.

During my munching time, my phone rang again.

With my mouth full of crunched bread and salad, I stressed my neck to view the caller ID and it was the same number that called me minutes ago.

I crumpled my brows.

It is strange why the number gave a gap before calling again.

I naturally know when someone calls you and you hang up or do not pick, they will keep calling for some time and if you still resist, they will cut the call not to call again for a long time.

Spatially if that person is not familiar with you.

But in this case, the contrary happens.

I should try answering this call for once. At least I don't do this often >> I said to myself picking up the call after gulping the rest of the food in my mouth.

*On phone*

"Hello" I answered formally

"Yes, baby. It's your mum"

My hands trembled after hearing that voice and my heartbeat increased...

I became speechless.

"Baby...I know we've had... misunderstandings but we miss you so much. And we're sorry for what we did" She spoke again.

"Hello.."

After a long of silence from me, she said

"Your dad and I want to see. If you don't mind dear. We'll love to be with you for some time"

"Ok...I should hang up now. We will be waiting for your confirmation. Love you" She let out then hung up.

I felt my world spinning at that moment. It was then I realized I have been holding my breath throughout.

<< How did she even get my number? My information is personal and confidential.

Could it be what I am thinking? >>

Robing my face with my palms, I lowered my head.

<< Why could they want to see me? Cause I sense something is up.

Whatever it is, I don't think I want to ever see them.

I have gone a long way on my own to return.

After all, they banished and disowned me as a vomit. Why would they want to eat back from that?

This is so ridiculous and shameless for them to do >>

I struggled to finish the rest of my breakfast. My mood was already spoiled.

After that, I took my things to live. On looking at the time, I was late for work.

<< Shit! >> I cursed

I may hate my job, but I am very competent, hardworking, and sensitive when it is a concern.

I put in my all and I have rewards for that, as a result, my salary gets increased.

Rushing out, I stopped a taxi and hopped in.

It was a 10minutes journey.

When we arrived, I lined out and paid the driver.

Just at the entrance, a guy was singing a lovely song with his guitar.

Wow! He got talents. I rarely see this around since the street is not so busy here as compared to the uptown.

I marched forward with a gorgeous smile and tipped the man some dollars then got into the building.

Everyone was busy with the communication flowing throughout the hall.

I had to pass to my boss's office to check-in and collect the files which needed attention before going to my desk.

On strolling, I greeted everyone I knew.

Few meters away from my boss' office, one of my colleagues who was ahead, gestured to me.

I didn't understand what it meant.

"The boss is having a crucial meeting with special guests" She whispered.

Still not hearing what she mumbled, I walked away. I was already too late to listen to anyone.

When I arrived at my Boss's office, I knocked then got in.

To my greatest alarm, some exclusive men positioned their focus on me.

They were three in number. One was in his 50s', the other was--

Well, I think we should do a reverse

...................♥....................

To my greatest alarm, some exclusive men positioned their focus on me.

They were three in number. One was in his 50s', the other was-- the man I HATED the most.

I blinked my eyes respectively, trying to take in the film before me.

"Nice meeting you Brithney," Leonel announced with a grin on his face and I looked at him furiously.

*Flash Back*

The sun was setting and my parents were still at work.

I needed to refresh my brain after a long time spent at school.

I took a trek in my neighborhood while listening to music from my headset.

Due to the volume from my set, I sang loudly without taking note of my pitch or how far it traveled. I knew my voice was normal though.

"You have a lovely voice," said a boy across the street. I barely got his voice so I took off my set and realized he was by my side.

I didn't notice his presence nor registered when he crossed my path. I must have been lost in the beat. Most times when I start vocalizing, I am transformed and find myself in another world.

"Thanks" I responded under my breath. Not sure if that was the right thing to say since I didn't get his words.

"Do you becoming a music artist?"

"No.." I declined

"So why do you sing so well?" He questioned

I was speechless. I didn't know how to reply to such a question.

"Can I walk with you for a while?"

I wanted to reject it. I knew where that was heading to. I've always avoided such moments. I was 18 and had no boyfriend. But I didn't care. I guess I wasn't attracted to any.

<< Common girl! He's just asking for a walk. Nothing more. Don't think too far. >> a voice yelled in my ears. And I responded at once

"Sure.."

He flashed and we wandered together.

"You should train your voice. You're such a good singer. You know that right" he said, and I smiled faintly.

"Forgive my manners. What's your name?" He asked

"Brithney.."

"That's a lovely name. I'm called Leonel" he introduced. I nodded "Nice to meet you"

"You're so beautiful." He complimented and I cursed myself for letting him walk with me.

Firstly, I was not attracted to him. And even if I were, it would end just at friends Zone.

"Thanks.." I said rarely smirking.

"You seem depressed. Do you have any worries? " he asked

<< What the! Do I look depressed? Since when? >> I asked myself.

Looking at him, I creased my brows.

"I know those who sing and listen to music have a story to tell. What's yours?"

I blinked severally then responded

"Hmmm. I don't know"

"Why don't you?" He adds

I didn't want to say this, but I had to...
