I felt overwhelming satisfaction after the meeting. I don't know what really makes me satisfied. I just walked out of that room with a very light feeling inside me like I have completely proven everyone... which I actually did.

'Yon ba talaga ang nagbigay sa akin ng matinding satisfaction? Or... it's the moment when you prove yourself to that one particular person that you aren't what he think.

I shook my head to dismissed my thought. Definitely not the latter. Maybe, I am so satisfied because after all the disgust comments about me, I managed to prove that I have principles and dignity for myself. That... I'm not that low like Fritzie.

Speaking of her, her fans still strongly stand for her. Nakita ko sa ibang comments ang mga masasamang salita patungkol sa akin. I don't know why I am not affected at all. Eh no'ng 'di pa naganap ang meeting, I am bothered by their opinions.

The press con will really be a big help for my stained name. I don't care if people will believe it or not, what's important for me is I have finally cleaned my name.

"Look, 'diba siya 'yong third party kaya naghiwalay sina Fritzie at si Cade?"

"Yeah but they said he's really not a third party. Why would Cade choose him over Fritzie? He's just a gay, he can't bare him a child,"

"Hindi rin naman sila ni Cade,"

Iba't ibang narinig ko pagkapasok ko sa isang restaurant para i-meet si Ian. I'm not affected of what they are saying but something about it irritates me.

It's like they are looking down a person for being a gay. What would I expect from the Filipinos anaway? Of course they'll belittling all the person like me. They are close minded after all.

I chose to ignore it. Dumiretso nalang ako sa lamesa kung nasaan naka-upo si Ian. He's all smiled when I neared.

Ngumiti rin ako. He looked so dashing and neat right now because he's in corporate attire. Hair slightly pushed back and his perfect face features made him appear undeniably handsome.

"Hi! Good afternoon..." he greeted and stood up. He then pulled a chair for me that made me flushed.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya and I greet him too then I smiled. I then sat and watched him went back to his chair in front of me.

"Have you had lunch yet?" he asked when he sat.

Umiling ako dahil pagkatapos no'ng meeting ay dumiretso agad ako rito. Maybe, the pres con had started right now... the reason why there's no media even followed me here.

"Not yet..." Simple kong sagot.

"Let's order first?"

Tumango ako. Nagtawag na siya ng waiter para kuhanin ang order namin. We ordered and after we told the waiter about our order, we talked about the house while waiting.

"The construction will start on August three. Everything was already prepared. Materials and the workers, we are all set. So I want to ask you for your opinion about this design."

Kinuha niya ang isang plates kung saan niya iginuhit ang design ng bahay. I opened it and saw the design. It was a modern two storey house with a touch of greek intricate designs.

Malaki ito at maganda. I studied it thoroughly and I don't see any bad about it. Tumango ako at nag-angat ng tingin kay Ian. Ngumiti ako para ipakitang maayos iyon.
