Chapter 119 - New Life

'Congratulations! You've won as one of the aspiring writers in this platform! You may now claim your reward and gain more popularity with your future works!'

I smiled as I read the message of the company that I've been working for how many years.

Yes. I'm an author.

I've started writing when I was in second year high school where I really wanted to write my own story and develop my skills.

I didn't know that writing would be that hard since I was also busy on my paper works in school then. I was suffering from lack of sleep since I started to write and It's not healthy anymore..

I love writing so I still continue to write before. Though, I don't have that much of readers but I'm still happy when someone was acknowledging it as a good one.

There are times that I'm really happy for reading all the comments on my story that they really liked my characters. Of course, I would be so motivated to write more, but as the time goes by and I moved up to 3rd year high school. Lots of school works stopped me from writing.

I needed to prioritize my studies so I temporarily stopped writing. No one asked me to do it, but I know for myself that I must end it. My family didn't know about that hobby of mine because I'm not a vocal person. I always keep what I'm doing and I don't share my problems with anyone as long as I can still keep it.

Quitting isn't easy for me before and it's really hard to stop formulating some stories when I'm studying. I keep thinking about different scenarios and yeah, it's getting harder everyday.

And when the time keeps moving forward, It makes me think that it's time to move on and keep dreaming. I decided to just keep it as an inspiration to finished my studies and when the right time comes, I would write again and finished what I've started.

I graduated on my 4th year high school and that time, I reminded myself to try hard this coming college. I wanted to write again, but in some circumstances..I didn't go to college.

I was down as I remember how my parents can't provide my school needs before. And I was the one who decided to quit. I can see that they're having a hard time so I gave up my studies.

It's painful but I had to..

That day, I decided to find a job and as I was waiting for my acceptance I took my time to find information about writers on internet. I was dumbfounded because I didn't know that writing would cost some bucks before.

I was surprised when I saw some platforms who offers a job for authors. I was hesitated that day since I was close to achieve my dream to become an author again.

But then, I decided to grab that chance to start my own life again. I applied for being an author and after my verification, I was accepted as an employee on Noah's shop. I didn't expect to be selected on that shop since it requires an experience in IT field.

But my life changed when I started to work with him. He gave me the position of a photo editor but I can't do it so he trained me until I became good. Not as good as him but I've tried so hard to meet the requirements of a good editor.

He wanted me to become a full-timer but I told him that I can't. I thought he wouldn't accept it but he immediately told me to start working. I was so happy that time and I wanted to tell the world how happy I am.

So, when I started to work I was really motivated. I worked hard on my job and after my hours I would instantly go home and write. I'm always busy and I can't even go out to get some foods for myself. That's why I'm used to convenient store's foods and some ready made foods.

That's the kind of life that I used to experienced during my work days. And when I have the time every Friday, I would go to convenient store with my friends. It's a night out where we could hang out together because in the morning, we'll have to work again which makes us busy.

My friends loves going out and it's not a problem to me really. I just don't have the time and I'm not used to go out and have fun. Especially, that I'm always busy with my works. I have no time for happiness.

It was tiring of course, I needed to multi-work just to provide for my family and at the same time for myself. Writing doesn't really payed too much than I imagined. It was somehow nice and fun but sometimes, I'm thinking of going back to college and have better career.

I thought everything would be perfect when I reached the thing that I wanted to do, but it's just really not enough..

I realized that what I want isn't something that can last forever. It should be needs, and now I accepted that really need to study for my better future.

I needed to give up my writing again and go on with my studies. I know I needed this, I needed to work hard to be able to grow. I can do this when I have everyone's blessing.

And this is the right time now..

I would stop on writing again..

"Raine! Have you prepared already? I made some breakfast for you!" I heard Sam's voice outside.

She slept here last night because she wanted to help me prepare for everything in a fast way. She wanted to come with me but I refused. I have to go there alone and feel the warmth of the school. I have to face it alone.

"Coming!"

I stood up on my dressing table. I just finished doing my skincare so I'll just have to eat first. My friends won't allow me to go there with an empty stomach so I just followed what they ordered. This will only happened right now.

Jess's went to work early today, she had a meeting so she really need to go and Gia was also busy preparing for her proposal later so she also had to leave early. I understand it of course, I'm not their priority by the way. They had their own lives.

"So, is it really required to be that beautiful when enrolling?" Sam arched a brow to me while wearing her pink apron.

I chuckled a bit before flipping my hair and sat down on the chair.

"I'm always beautiful, duh!" I rolled my eyes.

"And you're so arrogant bitch!" She scowled.

I just gave her a smile and start eating. I'm wearing my pink silky robe, I used to wear this when I'm having my breakfast so my clothes wouldn't attached some stains from the foods.

"Thank for the food, Sam. You didn't have to do this.." I gave her a touched look and she just smiled and nodded.

"Who would send you? I can drive you there." She offered and also sat in front of me.

"No need. Noah would pick me up,"

My mouth watered to the scrambled egg and bacon on the table.

"Good for you. I wish I have a boyfriend to fetch me on the work too!" She sarcastically said.

I laughed and just eat my food. After that, I offered to wash the dishes but Sam insisted to do it too since she doesn't have much to do today. I don't have a choice but to let her so I just walked straightly inside my room and change.

I wore a black cropped tank top and a high-waisted mommy jeans and some casual rubber shoes. It's a bit cold so I also wore a leather jacket. I didn't know what to do with my hair so I just fixed it in a bun and let some strands flow down my face. I also put some minimal make up and a tint lip balm so freshen up my face.

My baby would be starstruck with me again.

I giggled to what I thought and start texting Noah. I just told him that I'm done and I'll be waiting for him here and after that I decided to go out with my canvas bag.

When I went out, I exactly received a text message of Noah and I immediately opened it. I smiled when I read his message.

'Am I late? Sorry, just had some traffic on the way. I am now here outside of your unit. I love you baby!'

He's so paranoid really. He probably thinks that I'm waiting for him for some hours! So cute, Noah.

I opened the door and he's right! He's now standing in front of the door while wearing his sweet smiles. Oh God.

I would be melt by that.

"Good morning." He greeted and scanned my whole body.

My face heated when I saw the admiration in his eyes as he turned it back to face me. Gosh!

"You looked, beautiful."

Damn. I bit my lips to prevent myself for smiling widely. I had to contain my happiness.

My God, Raine! Aren't you used to his cheesy words?! Still affected, huh?

"T-thanks!" I just gave him a smile before going out of the unit.

Sam bid her goodbye earlier, she said she has an emergency meeting with the board of their company. She just wished me a luck and left. I feel sorry for her since she really gave an effort to serve me but she needs to go back to work again.

I hope she's okay..

"Are you okay?" Noah asked as we sat inside his car.

I turn my eyes at him and didn't surprised when I caught him looking at me.

"Yeah. I'm just worried about, Sam. She's working hard and she can't even rest.." I pouted.

"She'll be fine baby. I know she can handle it. No one will ever endure a hardship for a long time. She'll definitely come to you.." He caressed my cheeks.

Now I felt more okay.. Noah's right.

"For now, just think of yourself. Good luck, baby.." He muttered in so much admiration in his eyes. Oh God.
