Once Again ✔️

Chapter 8

Ding!

I looked at my phone and received a message from one of my friends that is a photographer too.

"I've got a job for you. If you want the job see me at the XXX park at 10"

Finishing my meal, I look at the clock. Its already 9 and it'll took me 30 minutes to reach the park. Thinking I still have a bit of time, I waved a goodbye at my mom and dad and rushed to my room to dress. I just grab my coat on me.

I arrived at 10:15 I got late due to some traffic. I look for a blonde tan guy which is almost everywhere in the park. I see a guy with a snake like tattoo on his arm. Sneakily walking on him I pounce him at his back, and saw his surprised face on me.

"How are you Tim" chuckling at his bewildered face I slid down from his back, catching the gleam of his engagement ring from the Ray's of the sun.

"I'm okay, but got a little surprised after you pounce me at the back" laughing at him again. He turned serious. " So back to business, the job was to take pictures of people doing their jobs. They want us to capture their work and how they do it. So you in or out?" Thinking about it carefully while biting my nails in concentration. Weighting the prons and cons of the job, I look at Tim. I know he won't give me a job that is too difficult and that is not par to my abilities.

"I'll take it, but wouldn't it be difficult to take pictures of them working. I might hinder they're jobs and got annoyed with me." Asking for Tim's confirmation in this. Tim's been working for so long in this field and he know some problems that might occur in this project.

Some people don't like they're pictures getting taken especially when they're doing they're work. It might lose their focus and some don't want to reveal their secret recipes and some special methods they use. It'll be difficult for me then.

"Do you still want the job?" Tim looking at me his "puppy dog eyes". We both know that it's important to take this opportunity. The magazine was one of the biggest and famous magazine here.

"Fine, I'll just- I'll just try me best then" giving him a reassuring smile I watch Tim pump his hands and shout yes. Tim hug me so tight so I hit him in the back as I laugh.

Some people are giving us glances, some shaking their heads as me as Tim hold me in the air.

After Tim drop me off my house bringing the news to my family, hence,another round of hugs were given. They bombarded me with questions while I just shake my head, not knowing what I got myself into.

Entering my room, my walls are painted with baby blue color with two black strips in the top and bottom of it. I have a single bed with a small drawer and a lamp on top of it. Illuminating the whole room. In my small drawer was a mirror plastered on top of the lamp. It was full of some pictures that I took and reminders I have for the whole day. And I also have a big drawer full of clothes and some stack of books in my left side of the room. I have a big window and a small couch on it. I sometimes read there and fell asleep.

I started photography when I was just 13 years old. An old couple wanted me to take their picture and the smiles and gratitude was overwhelming but at the same time fulfilled my life.

I was succumbing to the darkness, with no light to guide me in the dark. I don't know for what reason I'm alive, well alive in someone's body.

I don't have any purpose in life and that time when I took that picture of them, I was reminded that I can live and there are many beautiful things that I want to capture. The memories may fade but there's an evident in every pictures that I took.

"I've been there" or "I remember the feeling that time".

And because of that, I pursued photography. Every people has a reason to live and they have their own purpose in life, and I think that capturing ones memory to be known forever is my purpose.

Sitting on my bed as I place my laptop on my lap searching for Tim's email. Scrolling down as I read the details I found the people I need to take photo of.

Christopher John owner of the Sweet Delicacies. An old bakery that is still running down and has gained many branches around the world.

Sophia Richoe, a famous Instagram model with 7.5 million followers and have advertise some famous makeup brands.

Leanna Jin a famous modern artist that has won many awards and held successful gala's.

Richard Edmond, new and most sought dj and have gotten famous in just three months time.

And lastly is, Sebastian Kings a businessman, investor and owner of some famous hotel chains and restaurants.

Reading the last person made my eyes bulged and jaw hang. I rub my eyes and pinch myself many times, just to make sure I'm reading right. But the name inside the email remains unchanged. Immediately calling Tim for confirmation.

"Pick up, pick up. Come on Tim, pick up" biting my nail as I wait for Tim to answer me.y heart is beating so fast I can feel it beating through my ribcage. I was amazed myself that I can still call.

"What is it woman? I'm having a good time here with my fiance and you decide to call out of nowhere! Have you lost your mind!" My ears buzz as I heard Tim shouting across the phone, distancing it from me, I waited until he finish. I know it's already late and he's having a lovely dovey scene with her fiance.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just want to ask a question that's all"

"What is it?" He grumble under his breath. I laughed discreetly as I hear "Ashley" tim's fiance telling him not to be mean to me.

" I just want to make sure you didn't type the wrong name. Is it really Sebastian Kings? Or another Sebastian? Biting my lip as I wait for his reply, the tapping sounds of his finger in the computer makes it more nerve wracking for me, after some time, Tim finally answer.

"Yeah, it's Sebastian Kings. Any problems with him. I can change hi-" I didn't let him finish as I shake my head no and realize it was a stupid move so I answer.

"No! I mean no,no. It's uh all good. Yeah pshh it's all good." Blabbering my mouth like a fool I stop the call.

Plopping myself in my bed I hug my pillow so tight. Squeling in delight, I remember dad and mom are sleeping so I stop and bury my head into the pillow. I slept with a smile on my face thinking only one thing.

This project doesn't seem so bad at all.
