Claire's Pov.
*Alarm Rings*
As I slowly opened my eyes the warm sun rays coming from my window embraced me. Another reminder, nakalimutan ko nanaman mag sara ng kurtina kagabi. Honestly, the cases that I'm currently handling have been keeping me from doing anything but work lately. "Yan, bakasyon pa more. Edi Craming ka ngayon Claire" I said to myself as I recall my last week's vacation kasama ang mga friends ko.
My Morning thoughts were cut off when I heard a knock on my door.
*Knocks*
"Nak! Claire?" A voice behind the door said.
"Pasok po kayo Nanay!" I exclaimed.
The door opened and a lady who's in her 50s strode into my room. From the looks on her face, Parang masesermonan nanaman tayo dito ah.
"Aba anak, anong oras na Hindi kapa nabangon diyan. Yan, yan ang nakukuha mo sa kakapuyat. Ano kaba naman Clarita! Tignan mo nga ung kuwarto mo, unti nlng at baka sumiklab na ng Apoy sa kadami dami ng mga papel na naka kalat dito." Pag sermon sakin ni Nanay Nita.
Ay nako, Nanay never changed. Lagi niya parin ako pinagsasabihan. Simula palamang sangol ako eh, siya na ata ang tumatayo na ina para saakin. Para niya kong kinupkop at tinuring totoong anak kahit na may mga anak siyang naiwan sa probinsya. Hiring her was the best decision that my parents made for me.
As I stood up from my bed, I rushed into nanay and gave her a morning hug.
"Ikaw naman nanay, masyado kang na i-istress dahil sakin. Baka tumanda ka niyan nay, From 25 years old maging 60 kana diyan. Dapat happy lang tayo nay, kaya nga ligaya surname nyo po diba" I said while making lambing to nanay.
"Aba! Ikaw talagang bata ka, lagi mo nalang ako binobola. Sige mag ayos kana dahil ikaw nlng ang iniintay sa baba" Nanay said.
I nodded and she went out of the room.
After I took a shower, I got dressed and prepared my belongings. When I finally was able to get down the dining room I greeted my Mom and Dad and took a seat.
"So, I heard that you were chosen by the Ayala's as their attorney." My dad Started
"Mhm! We signed a contract a few days back. Hindi ko na dapat tatangapin yung offer nila since I'm handling too much on my plate at the moment but, I thought of our family ties with them" I responded.
"Buti naman you considered that Iha," Dad said
"How about the Marcoses? A friend of mine said na one of the Presidential sons was listed as chairman of a striving real estate company. And ito pa, their contract attorney recently retired. So maybe, nag hahanap sila ng someone fresh from the field." Mom butted in.
Talaga lng ha? I doubt they would be looking for a younger individual in a field of work ko. Sabagay, the pay might be great. But they hadn't released any statement on the newly opened position. If I finish some cases I might be able to get in touch with them.
"Claire? Claire to earth. Are you okay Anak? Have you been going to your sessions? Oh, nakakalimutan mo nanaman ba?" Dad asked.
"Yes Dad, you don't have to remind me I'm doing my best naman para wala akong ma miss na session eh, saying sobrang busy lang ako these days," I argued back. Not intently raising my tone.
"Me and your Dad just want you to get better honey. We miss the old Claire na happy-go-lucky. Kahit lagi namin napapagalitan dahil sa mga kanyang pinag gagagawa, we miss her badly." My mom said.
Nagging sentimental nanaman tayo dito eh, wala na silang pake kung ano ang gawin ko, nasa tamang dad na ang 25. The Claire they're asking for is immature and stupid. Nagpaka tanga dahil sa isang tao. Kaloka ko dati.
"Whatever, Mom. I'm heading out. Baka ma late pako. I'll see you guys after your trip to the States." I announced and walked towards our front door. And hopped in my car.
"Ma'am may dadaanan po ba tayo bago po kita ihatid sa opisina?" That's Manong Del.
I shook my head "Wala napo manong, baka ma late pa tayo." I replied.
He looked at me through the car's Rearview mirror and nodded.
- Avellino & Co. -
After being dropped off at my building, I immediately headed for my office.
Upon entering my floor. My assistant Minie greeted me.
"Good morning po ma'am na email ko na po ngayon lahat ng scheduled agenda nyo for today, and yung mga pina halungkat nyo po na documents naka alphabetically arranged napo sa desk no. May need pa po ba kayo Ma'am?" She asked.
"At the moment, I don't think so. Thanks a lot, Minie, you are surely one of a kind." I smiled at her and opened my laptop.
As I was checking my emails, one specifically caught my eye.

Interesting. Pero, a-attend bako? After all that has happened, kakayanin ko pa ba siya makita? "It's been 7 years Claire. Diba naka pag move on kana? Talaga ba?" They are one of the biggest real estate companies. Don't let your past meddle with great opportunities.
"Isipin mo naman career mo this time Claire," I whispered to myself.
That thought made me lean back in my swivel chair, as I felt a tear running down my rosy cheeks. "Wag kana maging tanga this time"
