Project...


Los Angeles 8:30 am...


I silently watch every drop of the rain through my office window. It's Monday morning but I was overwhelmed with my tasks again.


For four years, I poured all my time at work. It's not easy to be an architect outside the country, especially that not all the clients agreed with your designs.


There are things that are really hard to reach and live with it, so...you really need to persevere to get what you want. Because if you do nothing, you will never learn to stand on your own. You need to be a strong and resilient person as you reach your dream, because if you continue to remain weak ay walang mangyayari, habang buhay ka lamang nakaupo sa posisyon na iyon.


"Good morning, Hira. It's very early but you looks like you have fallen a sack of rice." I raised my brow as I saw Andrea entering my office.


She's my colleague. She became my first friend when hired in this company. She's a Filipino but she grew up in Los Angeles at dito na din siya nagkaroon ng pamilya.


"You want coffee?" Tanong niya.


"Sorry, Andrea, but I have a lot of tasks now." Sabi ko at umupo sa swivel chair. Ngumuso siya at inikutan ako ng mata.


"C'mon, bitch. Work can wait, I just want the two of us to bond again. We don't go out anymore just because of your job. Don't worry, it's my treat." Sabay kindat niya sa'kin.


"Are you sure you'll treat me?" Paninigurado ko sa kanya ngunit inikutan niya lang ako ng mata.


"Oo nga! Let's go, mamaya mo na gawin 'yan.." Tumayo siya at hinila ako palabas ng opisina ko.


Pumasok kami sa isang coffee shop na malapit lang sa kompanya namin. Wala akong ibang naramdaman kundi kalungkutan nang muli akong makapasok sa isang coffee shop.


It's been four years and within that years, I was no longer able to enter again in any kind of coffee shop because I feel like the pain is coming back as if it happened yesterday.


My memories came back of how I left my own country filled with tears on my face and my heart was broken for leaving the person I love the most.


I took a courage when I saw AJ in the coffee shop kung saan kami magkikita. I've already late dahil hinatid ko pa si Mommy sa bahay pagkatapos naming puntahan si Daddy sa presinto kung saan siya nakakulong.


Nakatingin siya sa kanyang phone na para bang may hinihintay siya doon. It seems that my heart stabbed by the needle while watching him waiting for my arrival nor even my text.


I was about to approach him when someone blocked my way. My eyes widened when I saw Mrs. Santiago in front of me.
