A lady is elegantly walking on the airport runway. She is surrounded by bodyguards as she makes her way out of the airport. Bumalik na siya sa kaniyang tahanan. Kung saan naranasan niyang magmahal at masaktan. Pain is still living in her heart and it will always be there. Over the past few years, she has become successful. She is now a model and an architect. Pagkatapos niyang umalis sa Pilipinas ay naghanap siya ng job at hindi naman mahirap dahil nakuha siya sa isang model agency. Her name became famous in the industry. Maraming kumukuha sa kaniya na mag-endorse ng kanilang brand. While modeling, she finished studying Architecture and graduated as magna cum laude. She was more inspired to work harder and succeed after experiencing so much suffering. Here she is now. A successful woman.

"Ms. Villaraza, totoo po ba ang rumor na may asawa ka na?" Tanong ng isang reporter nang nakalabas na siya. She is surrounded by the media. Cameras are flashing everywhere. She looked at the reporter. Tila natakot bigla ang reporter sa tinging nito sakaniya. "No. I don't have a husband. To those who are spreading these rumors, I'll file a case. Let's meet at the court." sabi niya at pumasok na sa van. Inilalayan naman siya ng kaniyang manager.

Reporters are still asking, Kahit na nakapasok na siya ng van. "Hayy. Kaloka naman ng mga reporter nayan, Besh. Saan ba nila narinig na may asawa ka na." Sabi ng Manager niya. "I don't know. Maybe my haters," Valerie said while scrolling Instagram on her phone. "Kung malaman ko lang talaga kung sino nagsabi ng mga ganon sasabunutan ko isa isa sila." Sabi ng manager niya na ikinatawa nito. "Don't mind them. Theh just want my attention" Valerie said. "Tomorrow pala you have a shoot for a brand company. Dapat 8:00 andon ka na. I'll send you the location," Her manager said. Okay," Sabi ni Valerie at umupo ng maayos.

Nakadating na siya sa kaniyang condo. Inayos niya ang mga damit na kinuha niya sa kaniyang mga maleta at nagbihis na rin ng pajamas. She does her skin care routine and lay down on her bed. Nakatitig siya sa kisame dahil di siya makatulog.

Kumusta na kaya siya? Okay lang ba siya?

Silly, Valerie. Why would you think of him? Maybe he is now a happily married man and have a kid with her wife. Sabagay. Mahal na mahal niya yon eh. Ano naman laban ko e fling lang kami. Hayss. Bakit ko ba siya iniisip. Even after he destroyed my heart, I still think about him. He still chooses her over me.

But now konti nalang. I'm slowly moving on. If ever we met again, I'll make him see that I'm not that girl anymore.

Kinabukasan ay inihanda ko na lahat ng gagamitin ko. I just drink coffee for this morning. Pumasok na ko ng elevator at pinindot ang ground floor. I get my car key and pumasok na ko. My car is the latest BMW. I start the engine and pumunta na ko sa location na binigay ng aking manager na si Liana. Matagal ko ng friend si Liana. I was shocked when my manager is a Filipino but at the same time happy. Siya palagi ang sandalan ko pag may problems ako.

Nakarating nako sa location na minessage sakin ni Liana. I park my car and get our of the car. This company is very big. I also heard na they are always on top. V's Clothing line is the name of the company.

I walk on the entrance. Nakita kong natigilan ang mga empleyado but I just ignore it. Sanay na ko na tinititigan. I enter on the elevayor and push the floor where I'm going. When I arrived, I  push the door.  Nakita ko si Liana at tinabihan ko siya.

"Buti naman maaga ka ngayon. I thought you'll  be late again" Liana said that made me look at her. "What do you mean? I always arrived early" Sabi ko. "Anong arrived early eh kahit ulit ulitin kong sabihin na exact time ka dumating ay hindi ka naman dumadating. Pag talaga may award na 'Always late' ikaw mananalo" Sabi niya. I just rolled my eyes. Sanay na kaming ganto. Always niya kong pinapagalitan dahil late ako.

The door opened. I think the CEO arrived. I fix myself para maging elegante naman ako sa harap niya. I look in front of me and my blood become cold. It was him.

Chrysus Nicolas Andino. The man who broke my heart is in front of me.
