Every relationship begins with a friendship. Of course, you can't enter into a relationship with someone you don't know or just commit to someone you don't know. On the other side, on the west coast of the country, I decided to stake my entire futur...

"Ma'am, okay na po ba 'tong design for a rest house?" tanong ng isa kong co-worker na mas mababa sa akin ng position sa company. I looked at her draft and I nodded.
"I think it's best if it has floor to ceiling windows here on the back yard because the location of where this is going to be built is in Antipolo, right? Great views of city lights for the clients to see." I suggested and he nodded before going back to his desk.
Nag ring ang phone ko at nakita ko na tumatawag si Luca.
[Caitlyn, nakausap ko na si Zayn. He said he agreed pero hindi pa sure kung anong oras ngayong araw. Busy daw sa firm, update na lang kita ha.]
"Oo sige, basta samahan mo 'ko mamaya ah? Salamat."
I ended the call agad and continued with my work.
I am excited and also nervous for later. Kahit tinarantado niya ako 4 years ago, nawala na ang galit ko sa kanya dahil lumabas na si Zai. She completed my world when he broke me to pieces. That's why I am very thankful that I have a daughter right now.
She fixed the whole in my heart that Zayn was supposed to fill.
Ang plano ko ay 'wag muna sabihin kay Zayn na hindi ko pinalaglag ang bata. Malay ko ba kung maalala niya na sinabi ko sa kanya na buntis ako? I am just going to tell him about my father's situation and we'll go from there.
It's weird because some part of me is hoping that he's single, para matanggap niya ng buo si Zai. Sabihin niyo na tanga ako pero umaasa din akong maayos namin ang iniwan namin 4 years ago. Malakas din kasi kutob ko na may ibang dahilan pa, but he was forced not to say the truth and lied.
Lawyers are good liars.
A cliche line but a true one.
Tatlong araw na akong bumalik sa trabaho at hati naman ang kaisipan ko. Half of me is thinking about work and the other half is thinking about Zai and Zayn.
It was around 4 pm at 2 hours na lang bago matapos ang trabaho ko when Mom called. Weird, bakit siya tumatawag? Ibinaba ko ang hawak kong lapips bago sagutin ang tawag.
Video call pa siya, "hello?" nakita kong nasa playroom iyon.
