Chasing Dreams (Book 2)

Sixty Two

Zion: Here. Uminom ka muna.

He gave her a bottle of water since he noticed that she already looked tired and sweaty.

Samantha: Thank you, Zion.

Zion: How was your day?

Samantha: It's a bit tiring but I'm enjoying it.

Zion: This will help you gain an experience. Are you going to continue your architecture course?

Samantha: Hindi pa ako sigurado. That's too soon, I might change my mind.

She smiled sweetly without looking at him. Little did she know, the man beside her couldn't stop staring at her. Admiring everything about her.

Zion: We've been here for a week na. We have to fly to Cebu bukas to check our other sites. Mr. Marcos will be there.

Samantha: Yeah, I was informed earlier. Gaano tayo katagal don?

Zion: Maybe 2-3 days.

Samantha: I see.

Zion: Are you alright, Sammy?

Samantha: Yeah, I'm good. Hindi ko pa kasi nasasabi kay Sandro na kailangan ko pumunta sa Cebu bukas.

Zion: I'm sure he will understand.

Samantha: I know but... it feels different na hindi na kami masyadong nagkikita.

Zion: Do you guys live on the same roof?

Samantha: No, I am staying at my condo.

She lied. Ayaw nya lang talaga ipaalam kahit kanino kung saan sya nakatira. The only person that she can trust right now is her boyfriend and her best friend. She knows her lolo too well. Until now, she didn't even know the reason why her grandfather always dictates what she needs to do. She was just thinking that Don Leon wants to manipulate her life for no reason.

Samantha: Can I ask you a question, Zion?

Zion: Sure, ano yun?

Samantha: What if... what if you have someone in your life but your parents doesn't want you to be with her and... and they keep on pushing you to another girl. What will you do?

Zion: That's easy. If I really love the girl and if I feel
like she's the one, I will fight for her.

Samantha: That sounds easy but it's not.

Zion: Yeah but I am ready to risk and lose everything for the girl I love. Money can't buy happiness. Is this about you and Sandro?

Samantha: What makes you think na kami yung tinutukoy ko?

Zion: Uhmm... Meron ba kaming hindi alam? You know that we love you, Sammy. Susuportahan ka namin kahit anong mangyari. If you need help on anything just call us anytime. And if you really love him, fight for him. I know for sure that you experienced the worst when you had amnesia. You lost everything and the only person that you have is him. Forget about the fixed marriage, even my brother is not buying their stupid plan. Baka nga tulungan ka pa namin tumakas.

She laughed a little and that makes him fall for her even more.

Samantha: Thank you sainyo... for staying by my side.

Zion: Cheer up, princess. We're almost done for today. Makikita mo na ang prince charming mo.

Samantha: Yeah. Thanks for stopping by.
