MC POV
Life as a CEO and living alone is not easy. It sometimes feel nice but most of the time, boring. I have a goal. One of those is to serve Buddha who gave me all that I have right now, but also to find the love of my life even if my faith is against it.
I am Cerulean James Sandijhon. Also know as CJ Sandijhon. I am born with this unique blue eyes that I inherited from my mother. This man is 28 years old, 6'4 and known as one of the most successful perfume owner. Aside from those characteristics, I have more to show.
Nagising Ako mula sa pagkaidlip. Same old routine. I got up and walk towards my bathroom. I yawn as I saw the woman from across the streets building. She is wearing her night gown as she sit at her balcony. She waved, and I raise my eyebrows to answer. I ignored her and went inside my bathroom.
Nakasakay na Ako Ng makita ko na Naman Ang babae na nakatira sa kabilang building Ng building ko. Tinatahak ko nag Daan papuntang Monastery. Nasa routine ko na Ang bago pumasok Ng trabaho ay dumaan doon. Pagbaba ko Ng sasakyan ay Nakita ko na Ang Isa mga matalik Kong kaibigan na mas piniling mag "monk" kesa mag Asawa. Niyayaya na rin Ako nitong sumama sakanya tutal wala Naman Akong Asawa at walang balak. Pinagiisipan ko pa Ng maigi. Maraming bumabagabag saakin ngayon, Isa na doon Ang babaeng may magagandang ngiti at balat.
Napapikit Ako dahil sa mga pinagiisip ko. Nasa Monastery Ako tapos ganto takbo ng pagiisip ko.
"Maligayang pagbabalik, kaibigan" bati nito.
Ngumiti Ako Saka tumango at nagtuloy tuloy sa pag pasok Ng Monasteryo.
Lumuhod Ako sa harap ni Buddha, at pumikit.
"Namo Buddhaya, heto Ako muli upang humingi Ng kapatawaran sa Aking maling pagiisip. At gayundin upang humingi Ng senyales, upang di mahirapan sa pagdesesisyon kung akoy magaasawa pa ba o papasok nalang sa paglilingkod saiyo" tahimik na dasal ko.
Tinapos ko Ang pagdadasal at tumayo.
Sa Aking pag lingon ay Nakita ko muli Ang babaeng kanina pa Hindi nilulubayan Ang Aking isip. Nakapikit ito at tila ba may hinihiling na napaka laki. Minulat nito Ang mga mata Ng dahan dahan. Ng magsalubong Ang aming mga paningin, tila ba ay dahan dahan itong ngumiti. Napakaganda.
Dali Dali Akong nag Iwas Ng tingin at naglakad na palabas. Yumu-yuko Ako sa mga nadaraanan Kong "monk". Pag labas ko Ng Monasteryo ay pumasok na Ako sa sasakyan ko. Hindi na Ako nakapag paalam sa kaibigan ko dahil sa Hindi ko masabing dahilan kung bakit Ako nag mamadali. Dali Dali Akong nagmaneho papunta sa trabaho ko. Isang Araw na Naman Ang kailangan kong harapin Ng mag Isa.
As I enter my company, my secretary approach me holding a paper. According to my instincts it's my schedule. She starts to walk beside me while talking. I ignore some of her words but one sentence caught my interest.
"Pardon?" I asked.
"An event invited you to be one of their guest speaker. It will be headed at Carancho Hotel tomorrow morning" She said while still walking with me. How can a woman talk while walking?
"I don't remember I approved that" I said raising my eyebrows. Trying to remember.
"You did sir" she answered. And then I remember it . It was last week yet I'm not ready for it.
"Fine, send me the details" I roll my eyes because of stupidity. How can I forget such an event?
"Right away sir" she answered and left.
I am now standing Infront of Buddha. Facing our Lama. Wait our Lama? I looked around and saw a lady beside me holding a candle just like me. What the? What is happening? Am I in the event already? Why does it look I'm about to marry! I tried to talk but when I met the eyes of the woman beside me my mouth instantly shut. It's the woman across the street! She is smiling at me and a tear fell down her cheek, she then suddenly said words that gives my heart a million adrenaline before I can talk I suddenly wake me up from my dream. "I love you"
