Chapter 1

Every sacrifices and struggles is worth it. Every success is worth celebrating for. We won’t truly be happy if we won’t experience struggles in life. I can say that I already experienced the struggles I’m saying and I already overcome it. Now, all I wanted is to enjoy life and do everything I want to do, spoil myself and lastly love myself.

I sipped my drink while looking at the monitor of my laptop. I’m busy watching vlogs about tourist spots in Cebu. This past few days I’ve been busy searching about Cebu and looking forward to travel together with Ryan.

I don’t know what's with me. I’m new to this that’s why I agreed with his proposal. To meet him in Cebu then we’ll roam the City. Ang sa ‘kin kasi ay ang makilala siya sa personal at malamang seryoso ba talaga siya sa ‘kin. I want to enter in a relationship with a partner who’s thinking and seeing his future with me. I want a serious one.

I massaged the bridge of my nose as I waited for Ryan’s reply. I don’t know. As time passes by, he’s getting creepier and I don’t know him anymore or baka ako lang talaga ang nagbibigay ng meaning sa mga kakaibang kilos niya. Maybe he’s just overstressed with his work. He’s a CEO of one of the biggest company in Cebu. That’s what he said.

Ryan: Bebe, kailan u pupunta rito? Gus2 na kitang makita!

I smiled. I want to see him too.

Me: Don’t get to excited! Bukas ng gabi nandiyan na ako hahah!

I giggled. I always feel butterflies when I’m talking to Ryan. He always give me unknown feeling pero nitong mga nakaraang araw parang nag iba talaga siya. The way he chatted and his words, nagiging bastos na ang pananalita niya. Isa pa naman sa pinaka ayaw ko ay ang bastos na lalaki. I want respect.

I look at the glass behind. The weather’s nice huh. It’s gloomy today. I stood up and go to bathroom to look at my clothes. Today I’m wearing a hoodie crop pullover and maong high waisted pants. I wear three inches heels and tied my hair into ponytail. Balak ko kasing mag malling ngayon.

"Ranz where’s Mikay?" I ask one of my barista here at my coffee shop.

"Ah si Mikay po ba ma’am?"

"Ay hindi, si Makoy!" Sarkastikong sabi ko.

Nanlaki ang mata niya at luminga linga. Minsan may pagka shunga rin ‘tong lalaking ‘to.

"Hala ma’am kaka-alis lang po ni Makoy..." Napakamot siya sa batok niya.

Agad uminit ang ulo ko pero ibinuntong hininga ko na lang ‘to. He’s stupid sometimes but I just always keep on calming myself para 'di maiwasan na mapasigaw.

"Ranz! Si Mikay ang hinahanap ko!"

"Ma’am tinanong po kita kanina tapos ang sagot mo si Makoy hinahanap mo,"

I just sighed. Napailing ako at bumungisngis. Ang cute niya. Mikay and Makoy are twins. I don’t know kung ba’t ganyan ang mga pangalan nila.

"Nevermind. Pakitawag na lang si Ate Annie."

He nod. Tumalikod na siya at hinanap si ate Annie. Ate Annie is my trusted manager here. She’s the one who will handle my business when I’m gone and I trust her with this.

Naglakad ako papuntang counter at tinabihan si Leah, my cashier.

"M-ma’am..." Tarantang aniya.
