Chapter Thirty Six: Our Problem

Today is the day where I am officially signing as a Cardoza Angel to their agency.

I am a bit nervous but I am also excited to start working as a model, kahit na nabigyan na nila ako ng schedule kung kailan yung trabaho ko, mas importante pa rin na may dokyumento para kumpirmahin na parte na 'ko ng pamilya nila.

I am meeting Ares again, he's the reason why I'm nervous because how am I going to tell Genevieve about this again.

Will I even tell her about this?

It'll be just awkward, I don't even want to mention that part kaya wala na 'kong sinasabi sa kanya tungkol doon.

Will I tell her?

Siguro, pero hindi muna ngayon dahil marami na 'kong problema ngayon sa buhay ko na kailangan ko munang isipin kung paano ko nga ba aayusin o kung aayusin ko ba?

Akala ko kapag tapos na 'ko sa college siguro wala na 'kong problema.

Wala na 'kong assignment na poproblemahin, o pera kung saan ako maghahanap nun para pambayad sa tuition ko at renta namin.

O tests ko rin at finals ko para lang makagraduate na 'ko pero heto... may problema nanaman ako.

I am doing so well in life and these kinds of things happen again and now it's all because of Alexander Seth Cardoza.

I thought that he was the issue, I mean he was, with his actions.

Yung problema niya nung nalaman niyang nagkaroon na pala ako ng boyfriend ko, yung nalaman ko na siya pala yung nagpapadala ng almusal sa apartment ko, nung nalaman kong naging kapitbahay ko siya, hanggang ngayon iniisip ko pa rin na may dahilan talaga siya kung bakit naging kapitbahay ko siya.

And now we kissed.

He kissed me first.

And then now he punched the guy I was supposed to make out with and then made out with me at the back of the bar?

That is the new problem.

Ako na yung problema.

Kaming dalawa yung problema talaga.

'Di ko alam kung paano ko aayusin 'to kung ako naman ang problema.

Pero napagisipan ko na maganda muna sana na maging normal lang ang interaction naming dalawa ni Alexander.

We'll just have it at that and then I'll think about ways to how to fix this situation that we have.

Yeah, right now I just have to act normal towards him.

Na para bang magkaibigan pa rin kami at walang nagbago sa pagitan naming dalawa.

He's still my Alexander and I'm still his Katerina.

"Do you want to eat breakfast together?"

"No."

Inalis ko ang tingin ko sa kanya at agad ko siyang nilagpasan, naglakad ako ng mabilis papunta sa malapit na elevator dito sa floor namin at pagpasok ko sa loob ay agad ko siyang nakitang pumasok din kasama ko.

"C'mon, eat breakfast with me."

"No, Alexander."

"Why not? Is it..."
