Third Person's P.O.V.

Makalipas ang limang taon

Hindi madali.

Yan lang ang masasabi ni kiran sa naging buhay niya sa loob ng apat na taon.

Walang araw na hindi niya ginustong umuwi.

Pero tiniis niya lahat yun para sa pangarap niya, sa bawat obrang nililikha niya ay ang panahong lumilipas na malayo siya sa mga mahal niya.

Unti unti ay isa nalang ang naging dahilan ng pagtupad niya sa pangarap niya, lagi niya kasing nababalitan mula sa ina ng lalaking mahal niya na ito ay may kasintahan na.

Tanggap niya na.

Masaya siya para rito, ang hiling niya nalang ay sana mahal siya nang taong yon ng buong buo.

"Mr. Dela Cruz how have you been? Majestic gallery as i expected" he smile and shake his hand.

A customer of his since he was in 3rd year college, a working student, racket niya na magpinta para sa extra na pera nung mga panahon na yun.

He smile politely and proudly, pride swelling inside him at the success rate of their 1st gallery "thank you mr. Walter hows heather?"

"Fine, getting bigger now that you mention her i assume that i can finally hire you again?" He ask looking hopely but sadly the young man have to say no.

Gusto muna umuwi ni kiran bago tumanggap ng trabaho, may sapat na ipon naman na siya, ika niya sa isip niya.

He smile at him apologetically "i would love to but for now i have to turn the offer down, i have a plan to go home to my home town first before being open for any type of work" kiran politely declined.

The old man chuckle "is that so? Well thats too bad" sagot niya and before kiran can even answer lumapit sa kanya si daisy, co-artist who helped him make this gallery/ art exhibit as successful as a newly graduates art student can.

"Excuse me can i barrow Mr. Dela cruz for a second?" She ask with a polite smile.

"Yes. Yes ofcourse go ahead, ill see you around kiran" magiliw naman na sagot ni mr. Walter sa dalaga.

Daisy pull him to the side "did something happen?" Tanong agad ni kiran sa kaibigan.

She giggle "nothing but someone wants to see you personally" his eyebrow furrowed.

He can almost hear his heart pumping louldy against his chest dahil sa kaba. Minsan kasi hindi padin siya sanay humarap sa mga tao.

"Where are they?" Tanong niya trying not to show any signs of nervousness.

The girl grin knowingly before grabbing his hand ang pulling him to the othe side of their gallery "you're gonna be so shocked!" Excited na sambit pa ng dalaga habang hila hila siya.
