Author's note: I won't be able to update this week as I am preparing for our defense. I'll be back next week. Thank you for your support!

Sa tatlong araw na nagdaan ay parang nakilala ko nang lubos ang tatay ng anak ko. Alam kong eksaherasyon iyon dahil hindi sapat ang tatlong araw para kilalanin ang isang estranghero.

Hindi siya pumalya- ni isang beses sa panliligaw niya kuno sa akin. I was touched by his efforts. Kahit gaano siya kaabala ay nagagawa niyang magbigay ng oras sa akin.

Alam ni JK ang tungkol sa amin dahil kasama pala siyang bumili ng bouquet of decade flowers. Inasar-asar nga ako ng hayop na 'yon dahil akala daw niya ay tomboy ako. Muntik ko nang ibato sa kaniya ang paborito niyang keyboard dahil sa inis.

Speaking of keyboard, nalaman ko na rin finally kung saan nagmana si Jaze nang pagkahilig niya sa online games. Si JK na hudas ang salarin dahil nahuli ko siya isang hapon na naglalaro ng Legends of Legion at hindi nagtatrabaho. Iyon pala ang pampalipas oras ng hinayupak.

(A/N: Legends of Legion is equivalent to league of legends in reality.)

Halos magkatulad lang ang magkapatid sa tuwing kasama nila ako; malamig at walang pakialam ang mga ekspresyon nila kapag iba ang kaharap nila samantalang nag-iiba sila kapag ako na ang kaharap. They're much warmer, much easy to get along with, and much more expressive when they're with me.

The difference is that Jasen isn't as talkative as JK...

The third day of courtship came. I was fixing my final schedule so that I could start to work properly this week.

"Done!" Manager Rivero excitedly said. I grinned and gave her a big hug.

"Thank you! You've worked hard," sambit ko nang bumitiw kami sa yakap.

"We've worked hard." Manager Rivero corrected and we both smiled knowingly.

Naglalakad ako patungo sa tagong parte ng basement parking lot. Soot ko ang isang white t-shirt, black denim pants, white sneakers, and black glossy leather coat. I just let my waist-length wavy hair drape on my shoulder as they danced against the cold wind of autumn.

This is my disguise to avoid having scandal. Mahirap nang ma-scandal lalo na ang mga baguhang gaya ko. Mabuti nang mag-ingat para hindi maging magulo ang buhay.

I decided to try to be with him since wala naman akong karapatang tumanggi. Thanks to his practicality. I mentally rolled my eyes. I could take this opportunity to get to know him better.

Alam ko namang nasasabik si Jaze sa aruga ng isang ama. He didn't tell me because he grew up sensibly but as his own mother, how could I not know?

A dashing handsome red-haired man stood in front of a limited edition silver-gray rolls-royce car. He was wearing a black polo that he tucked under his black trousers and expensive Balenciaga belt. He was wearing a black leather shoes.

He looked like a fictional character that came alive. His messy red hair, his posture as he leaned his back against his car, and his cold and indifferent expression made him looked hotter and more attractive.

No wonder he could make me give up my everything, seven years ago. Napangiwi ako sa iniisip ko.

My cheeks burned when our eyes met. His icy gaze melted and his thin red lips- that were originally pursed into thin line- curved the instant he saw me.

Ganoon palagi ang eksena sa tuwing susunduin niya ako. Ngunit hindi pa rin ako sanay dahil sa hitsura niyang tila mabusisi at iniukit ng dahan-dahan ng Diyos dahil sa pagiging perpekto.
