Subject: Applying for Secretarial Position
I almost spewed out the wine inside my mouth when I read the email I received. I slowly put down the wine glass and massage the bridge of my nose while reading the cover letter I received.
She did apply after five years, huh?
I've been waiting for her to apply as secretary since I returned to the Philippines and started working as the newest CEO of Silvercrest. What took her so long?
I sighed heavily and looked up. Kumusta na kaya siya ngayon?
It's been almost five years since I saw her. Years passed, and I still couldn't stop thinking of her. Walang nagbago, siya noong una at siya pa rin hanggang ngayon. I didn't even go out with other people because I felt like I was cheating on her.
Sa tuwing may mga lumalapit sa aking mga babae na nagpapakita ng interes, ako na mismo ang umiiwas.
Ayoko na ng sakit nang ulo. Tama na 'yong isang babae.

She hurt me a lot... I want to get mad at her, but I can't. My love for her is enough for me not to hate her. Ni isang beses, hindi ako nagalit sa kanya dahil at some point, I understand her reasons why she broke up with me. Ang hindi ko lang nagustuhan ay 'yong sinabi niyang kayang-kaya niya akong palitan... Na sawang-sawa na siya sa akin at gusto naman niyang tumikim ng iba.
No one knows how much I cried that day.
After the day we broke up, lumipad na ako paalis ng bansa. Wala na talaga akong balak umalis, pero 'yong nag-iisang taong dahilan kung bakit gusto kong manatili ay iniwan na ako. What's the point in staying here, then?
Nakatulala lang ako buong byahe. Nang lumapag ang eroplano sa Airport doon ko naalalang wala pala akong bitbit na luggage. Hindi man lang ako nakapag-impake dahil wala ako sa sarili. Years ago, I was happy to leave, but now that I'm here in another country, I feel so empty.
Literal na empty dahil wala akong dala ni isang damit. I'm just glad that I bought my belt bag with me, nandoon 'yong passport, wallet, at cellphone ko. Kahit paano may nadala ako.
AFTER two years of apprenticeship in Gensler, one of the most popular Architecture firms in the world, I decided to study in a flight school. My uncle encouraged me to do so since I knew how to navigate a plane. Hindi nga lang ako pwede magmaneho dahil wala akong lisensya. Doon ko nakilala sa flight school si Archie Echavez, we became friends. It's a small world because I found out that he was the ex-boyfriend of Architect Montesilva. She was the only girl I became friends with since my journey in the USA. Hindi kasi tulad ng iba, wala siyang interes sa akin.
My license is a PPL or a Private Pilot license since being a Pilot is just a hobby for me. I'm already a licensed Architect, and after three years, I'm going back to the Philippines. My journey wasn't easy, but it was worth it.
"Welcome home, Son!" My mom gave me a tight hug and a kiss on the cheeks.
"Thanks, Mom," I gave her a hug and small smile. Then, Dad and Croisx did the same.
"Welcome home, Archi-lot," Croisx uttered.
"What?"
"Architect-Pilot," He smirked, which made me smirked too.
Now that I'm back, My next goal is to be the newly appointed CEO of Silvercrest, which I became after months of getting home in the Philippines.
WHEN I started building my own firm, I contacted my best friend Hunter and Leoniel, who are now a licensed Architects and Engineers, to work under my firm. I named My firm ZDS Buildings & Structures, just like she wanted.
