I feel uneasy. Tambak ang mga papeles na nasa harapan ko, papers that I needed to review and sign but I haven't done even a single task since I've got into work. Though I tried to get my job done pero tititigan ko lang ang folder at susuko rin dahil wala roon ang isip ko.

I let out a heavy sigh.

Damn it.

Ah... fuck.

I don't know what to do anymore. This has been bugging me. Every. Single. Day. Bawat araw ay kinokonsensya ako. Pakiramdam ko, niloloko ko lang si Angela. I didn't even mean to prolong hiding my real identity.

It's just that I tend to forget everything every time I am with her. Nakakalimutan kong nagpapanggap lang ako. Kung sino ako. Every moment I'm with her is pure bliss. And I didn't want that to end.

But then, I knew I couldn't hide this forever. Ayoko rin namang habang-buhay na magsinungaling o magpanggap na ibang tao. Ayokong maging huli na ang lahat bago ko pa maamin sa kanya kung sino talaga ako.

It's Angela's birthday today and I finally decided to tell her the truth. That I am Lucius D'Angelo.

I smiled. If anyone would see me right now, they would think I'm crazy. Ngumingiting mag-isa.

But... I just suddenly wondered how Angela would react when she realized that she introduced herself as the girlfriend of Lucius D'Angelo in front of the actual Lucius D'Angelo. How would she react when she realized that she made me act as Lucius D'Angelo when I am Lucius D'Angelo?

Ah... I'll bet her reaction would be cute.

Pero nawala rin agad ang ngiti ko nang may iba na namang maisip.

What if... she'll get mad instead?

God damn. That's possible. She might even think I'm deceiving her. I had a lot of time to tell her the truth but I didn't. Pinagpatuloy ko pa rin ang pagpapanggap. And what if... she really gets mad at me then leaves?

Napasabunot ako sa sariling buhok.

Ah, fuck. It's scaring me. I've never felt this scared in my entire life. Ilang beses nang nanganib ang buhay ko pero ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang ganitong takot.

I don't want to lose Angela. It would kill me.

"Sir, Mr. Von Amstel is here to see you," I heard Glen's voice, my secretary, over the intercom.

I sighed. I blindly tried to fix my hair before I answered Glen.

"Let him in."

Ilang sandali ay bumukas ang pinto ng office ko. I saw Loki, who's eyes immediately darted to where I was sitting.

"Fourth, what's up?" I asked when he went in and closed the door behind him.

Tinungo n'ya ang lugar kung saan tumatanggap ako ng bisita. There was a set of sofas there and he sat on one.
