I tried to run from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lights
Even the night
It only reminds me of you

This is it! Andito na ako sa tapat ng gusali ng kompanya niya.
I tried to run away from you Rence, but fate keep on making its way to bring us together.
Maybe not for us to be back, but maybe because he deserve the closure.
The closure that I'm not sure if I could give.
Kahit na nanghihina ako at parang sasabok na puso ko sa lakas ng kabog nito eh dahan dahan pa rin akong lumapit sa information desk.
"It's just for my work, I'm just beling professional here." I said trying to compose myself with my lies.

LIAM TERRENCE VILLAFUERTE
Another stressful day, mabuti na lang at mamayang hapon pa yung susunod kong meeting. Makakapag pahinga muna ako.
*Ringgg! Ringgg!*
The telephone rang, badtrip.
"Hello?" It was my secretary.
"Sir, I just want to inform you that someone is waiting for you here, outside." Babae kaya? Tsk wala ako sa mood ngayon.
"Who?" Sana naman hindi 'to isa na naman sa mga babaeng obsessed sa akin.
"A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir." Bomb!
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
A certain Kate Valerie Zamora sir.
It keeps echoing in my mind and it annoyed the hell out of me!
What the hell? After 5 years, she's now looking for me. For what? For reconciliation? No way!
"Sir, papapasukin ko po ba?" Nagulat ako nung magsalita muli yung secretary ko.
"Ah.." Papapasukin ko ba? Am I ready to face her? No. I mean yes! Man, it's been 5 long years! You've move on, right? Right?
"Sir?" Tanong ulit nung secretary ko.
"Oh yes. Let her come in.." And let her see me. The one she left behind. At nang makita niya kung ano ang pinakawalan niya.

KATE VALERIE ZAMORA
Nakailang buntong hininga muna ako bago ko dahan dahang binuksan yung pintuan ng opisina niya.
Kakaibang hangin agad yung bumungad sa akin. Malamig. Oo malamig na hangin. Yun bang parang maiiyak ka dahil sa sobrang lanig ng hangin eh parang kalungkutan ang hatid nito.
And the rooms atmosphere- it creeps me out! Parang.. Parang napaka dark at walang kabuhay buhay.
"Looking for me?" Nabigla ako nang may magsalita sa likod ko at naramdaman ko yung init ng hininga niya sa batok ko kaya agad akong napalingun which is a wrong move dahil masyado ng malapit yung mukha naming dalawa kaya nagpanic ako at na out of balance. Good thing he was able to held me at my waist.
Mabilis pa rin talaga ang reflexes niya.
Naalala ko tuloy yung dati.
That moment when-
"Ehem." I snap out! Geez! Tumayo kaagad ng maayos, dahil nakakahiya.
Bakit ba ako nagkakaganito? Bakit ba ako nagbabaliktanaw sa mga panahon na alam kong hindi ko na dapat binabalik balikan pa.
Nilampasan niya lang ako at umupo siya sa swivel chair niya. Walang emosyon yung mukha niya at napaka cold ng mga mata niya. Wala na yung dating Rence. Well, what would I expect?
You broke him! Sigaw ng kontrabidang side ng utak niya.
Yea I did.
"So... It's been a while since we last meet Miss Zamora. Should I be glad that I see you again?"
And with that, I tremble.
