Songs - The Story of Marites after the Tinig Series
(Author's tip) Kindly play the youtube song first before reading :)
"I always believe that somewhere. somewhere in this vast universe there is someone out there, someone that is right for me."
I left our barrio with a broken heart, I do know for a fact that he will not love me back and I will never get the chance to be with him no matter what.
He is madly inlove with Esang and I was always a third wheel. Who likes to be a third wheel by the way. I never dreamed of becoming one. I was devastated when he told me that he will never love me but I think it is okay, I was released from the shackles of the idea that maybe someday, someday he will love me and hug me and see me, not as a "buddy-buddy" girl but someone who really loves him from the bottom of my heart.
I cried until there's no tears flowing from my eyes. There's no hatred from me, he just loved the person it is not his fault that is why I am letting him go and also myself.
It is really tough living in the Metro, the food, the pollution and the culture it is totally different way back. I worked as a cashier in a convenience store taking 12 hour shift a day and believe me it was not easy.
From checking the items, greeting the customers and asking them about their orders it was a challenge. Especially using the machine, sometimes I am having a hard time pressing the touch screen ordering system.
I do remember my first day at work, there was a very angry lady because I did messed up on how I greeted her. She was really a force to be reckoned with just because I wasn't able to smile at her my manager was called in an instant. I admit it was a monotonous tone, with no energy at all but who cares about it anyway right? It is my first day and she should spare me on those reports. Does she know that I am also having a bad day?
After that incident, I was informed by my manager that there are some customers who will be like that. We need to be extra careful on how we will present ourselves to them because we are the representation of the company. I started on faking my smile at first, it was really hard.
How can you smile for long hours if you are fixing the inventory for hours! How can you smile if there are some rude customers along the way it is really hard I must say and I do commend my manager for doing that for the longest time.
Good thing we have a music player in the convenience store whenever I am not in the mood I always listen to the songs that are pre-loaded on that. It was my moment of heaven especially if there's no customer around.
As this music was played, memories of Luis returned. I began to sing again, there are customers eating in the table at the convenience store but I didn't care that time since I am not manning the cashier I am checking the stocks. I closed my eyes as I sang my whole heart and when I opened it I was shocked that there are people watching me and even taking a video of me singing.
This is now the story of Marites after she left the barrio, if you weren't able to read the first 5 few post about it you can always check the Point of View of Luis. Although if you are not familiar with the Filipino language you will be having a hard time though because google translate is not helpful most of the times.

I may write some of them in English but I really don't know when it will be :)
The images used are from the blog post of https://steemit.com/art/@alexandravart/creativecommonsart-my-unfinished-paintings-series-nr-1
wherein it is a part of creative commons.
You can follow @alexandravart to check on her other artworks. Her works are awesome pieces and I do thank the folks on this initiative because of it I was able to have a continuation of my work.
The reason why the story is written in English this time is because I want @alexandravart to be able to read what I did on her artwork since I am not a painter/ editor of images this is the best way that I can honor her on this amazing piece.
As the Op said ... play the youtube song first.
