Chapter 30

I was right. Telling him about my feelings will help... a lot. He became more sensitive and considerate. He replies to my texts in an instant, he became more gentle and sweet towards me.

I should be happy right? I should be delighted. This is my agenda, the reason why I told him I love him. But why does it feel painful everytime he's being soft to me?

I admit, I love how he treats me. It's my dream. Pero may parte sa akin ang unti-unti nang napapagod na magsinungaling sa sarili ko na okay lang. Parang ayaw ko na pero gusto ko pa. May mga panahon ngang napapatitig nalang ako sa kawalan at hinahayaan nalang ang sariling isipan na maglikot, mag-isip ng kung ano-ano... kung may pagkakaparehas man ang mga naiisip ko, lahat masakit.

We spend our years together, we aren't official, we still aren't a couple. Wala naman siyang sinasabi. So I guess, I should keep my mouth shut about it as well.

Almost seven years na, naging architect na ako. My friends, si Laxus ay isa na ring engineer while Cedric became a secretary of someone big and powerful, but he went missing in action for years, bigla nalang kasi itong umalis ng bansa.

Sabi ng parents niya ay para daw mag-aral, nagtampo ako at nasaktan dahil umalis siyang walang paalam syempre, ayaw ko ng ganoon, specially because Stacey already did that to me before. But then he called me last year, unlike Stacey, he explained and apologized to me, ganoon din ang ginawa niya kay Laxus.

I am working under Gaj's company, he is the CEO and the head Engineer while I am his head Architect. We became closer, friends I must say. I am actually glad and thankful that he hired me. But I didn't became the Head Architect because we are friends, I worked hard for it. I still remembered those sleepless nights I spend to perfect my designs and presentations, but everything is perfect and worth it.

"Baby, will you be done at six?" There's longing in his voice that made my heart beat rapidly in an instant.

I bit my lower lip and checked my schedule through my desktop. I frustratingly closed my eyes and sigh, I threw my back on my swivel chair's backrest and gently massage my temple.

"Nope, I'm sorry. Bakit pala?" I asked with a soft voice.

"We haven't eaten dinner together for a week now." He reminded me, his voice became lazy and disappointed as well.

I sigh again and clenched my jaw as well as my fist. "Bawi ako next time, we just have to get this project done kasi before the week ends, Mr. Cerera is a huge client... I'm sorry."

He didn't respond, gusto ko tuloy magmura. Abraham is the COO of the ACAH and HUE Empire, he's such a busy person but he always makes time for me, while sadly I can't do the same. I am always busy and preoccupied.

My parents actually are not so proud of my profession, they want me to learn how to manage our business but I will always apologize to them everytime, because I know I will not be interested about it ever. Designing houses and such are my passion, it's my forte, it is where I belong and I know I am made for this.

They knew my relationship with Abraham, it's just that, they think we are in a real relationship-- where someday I could be walking down the aisle while he is wating for me at the altar. I wished for that. But I know it's way too impossible so I stopped hoping.
