Zamara's POV

I'm Haggard! You know, lately I'm busy about something important, yah know about company.

Well, I am launching another model of bag and perfume! And it was a big big responsible for me.

Pupunta pa ako mamaya sa Taiwan for the Launching, and next week sa Thailand. My bag, or ZLA bags is the most famous bag and the most expensive bag here in Asia.

So I was working as a CEO of my company, ZLA Company. It was my name's initial, Zamara Liz Alcantara.

Well, tumataas na ako. Tumataas na ang pangalan ko at kilalang kilala na ako not just here in the Philippines but almost in the whole world! And that's because of my self-esteem and of course hard work.

Halos limang taon na walang akong tigil sa trabaho. Para makamit ang pangarap at makalimutan sya. Pero kahit anong busy, kahit anung pag eenjoy, hinding hindi sya nawawala sa isip ko.

Mag kikita pa kaya kami? O baka naman hindi na.. kasi baka may pamilya na sya o baka naman di na nya ako kilala.

Sampong taon na ang lumipas, naging mayaman na ako, naging tanyag na ang pangalan ko, pero bakit sya parin?

Umupo ako saglit, inopen ko ang phone ko,  may nag notif from tweeter kaya nagulat ako.

' I knew, nothing will stay '

I read Kath's tweet.. Siguro nag break na naman sila ng boyfriend nya. Well not my issue.

So andito na din ako sa tweeter nag tweet na rin ako..

'Everything is knew, yet I wonder why everything is still about you?'
 
Bakit nga ba sya parin? Tsk tsk.

After updating my status, I went inside my office. I have million of papers to sign and I need to finish it asap!

"Excuse me Miss Zam, your flight is ready, thirty minutes nalang po, update from Kristy" Biglang lumitaw ang Ass. Secretary ko. Well baka busy si Kristy.

"Yah, thank you! Can you get me cucumber with kalamansi?" I said and she nodded. "Shake ma'am?" Oh well kala ko gets nya, si Kristy lang pala ang nakakaalam.

"No, it's juice, and please hurry because I don't want to be late to my flight, thank you" Mahinahon na sabi ko. As long as kaya ko, ayaw ko maging bossy sa harap nila.

Maya maya ay dumating na ang juice kaya nag pack nako ng gamit for flight, then nag pasundo narin ako papuntang airport. It's a private flight, anyway.

>.<

After many minutes andito nako sa Taiwan, sinundo ako ng company car and deretso na sa office branch namin. Aminado akong mas malaki eto kesa sa main branch namin.

"Good morning Miss"

"Hello miss"

"Still look pretty Miss"

Isa isa ko silang nginitian, Good mood ako ngayon at wag nyong sirain! Pumasok sa main lobby kung saan gaganapin ang launching.

"And now, let's welcome the Prettiest girl and the pride of ZLA Company, The CEO Miss Zamara Liz Alcantara" Sabi ng host at nag palak pakan silang lahat.

Umakyat ako at lumapit sa microphone, tingnan ko muna sila bago mag salita.

How proud I am!

"Thank you for the warm welcome" Sabi ko at nag blink pa a host "Thank you so much for coming today! This is one of the biggest event for my company and of course for me too. I never thought that I'll become this way, and succeed this way. Well, I am just lost girl who doesn't know how to wash my clothes, but now I am here, In front of many people, launching my new products! I am proud of everybody here, who trying hard to success! The world is ours to conquer! Let's shine!" Sabi ko at nag palak pakan naman ang karamihan.

I am proud of what I've done!

After cutting ribbons, and signing many papers, I went to the pres-con. Pagod nako pero kaya parin, this is for my future.

Pag pasok ko ay inaasahan ko rin ang palakpakan at hiyawan ng mga empleyado at ibang partners ko sa company.

"Let's welcome the CEO of ZLA Company, Miss Zamara Liz Alcantara" Sabi ng host at ngumiti lng ako. Dumeretso na ako sa upuan ko at nag hintay sa mga magaganap.

Of course, it's a pres-con kaya maraming mag tatanong kaya nag handa narin ako ng isasagot.

After a couple of minutes nag umpisa na rin ang tanunga at pag uusisa sa mga produkto ng ZLA.

"Question for miss Zam, What are the challenges that made you stronger to conquer the world as you said miss?" Tanong ng isa at nginitian ko rin sya.

"We, humans are born to be problematic. Hahahaha, everybody here has a problem, big or small, bearable or unbearable, we should fight!" Taas noong sabi ko. "I am just a poor girl, I study every morning and working every night, well in the Philippines nothing is new, everybody need to work hard to have a better future. I'm a girl who's ambitious, I have many dream, that I thought I wouldn't achieve. I remember when I was high school, my teacher said 'Hindi kana makakaalis sa kahirapan' which means I will just stay poor and helpless but then I try hard, I work hard and accept the fact that I just have my self! So I need to conquer or bear everything alone, and that made me stronger" Mahabang salaysay ko. Nag palakpakan naman silang lahat..

"Uhm ma'am, sorry to ask but what about your love life? You know you're 26 and are you still single!" Lakas loob na tanong ng isa. Medyo sumikip ang dibdib ko sa tanong nya.

Pano ba kita masasagot?

"It's okay" Pilit na ngiting sabi ko "I have an ex boyfriend.. I am sixteen back then when I met this guy, that I thought will be my last. Well we don't have a perfect relationship, sometimes we argue, sometimes we are sweet and sometimes there's a problem, but they said anything can't stay..." Pag putol ko sa kwento ko. Tama ba?

"Then what happened ma'am?" He asked again.

I smiled bitterly.. "He left me, he said his family need him and also he doesn't love me anymore... It's painful and it hurts" Tipid na sabi ko na parabg pinipigilan ang pag luha. Kitang kita ko ang disappoinment sa mga mata nila kaya nag pilit ako ng ngiti.

"But now, look at me ..I AM ME!" Nangiting sabi ko at tumayo para umalis sa venue.

Grabi dalawang tanong palang yung nasasagot ko ang bigat na ng nararamdaman ko.

Pero tama ba talaga na ANYTHING CAN'T STAY?
