True love is worth the wait.

Wherever direction you may choose or labyrinths taken, it falls down to the two of you.

"What? I can't believe that you're rejecting my article Reign! This is impossible!" inis na inis na sabi ni Dominique habang nakatayo sa tapat ng table ng kanyang boss na isang Editor-in-Chief sa isang lifestyle magazine na pinagtatrabahuhan niya.

Umiling lamang ito at inilahad ang article sa unahang parte ng lamesa nito malapit sa kanya. Dominique isn't sure how red her face is. She's one of the most-sought after Magazine writers in town! Hindi basta-basta ang mga article na sinusulat niya and she proved herself a lot. Marami na siyang napanalunang mga awards sa pagiging journalist niya at hindi na ito dapat palampasin pa ng kanyang boss! She's an asset to this magazine!

"I've already made my decision, Dominique. This is rejected. Make a new article." he told her coldly.

"Ano? Kailangan bang ulit ulitin pa sa akin na rejected to ha Reign? Tapos sasabihin mo 'Make a new article'? Bukas na iimprenta ang magazine for this issue then you'll ask me to have another one? Are you nuts?" galit na talaga siya sa lalaking nasa harapan niya. Yes, this man is her boss. Pero who cares? He's just a newbie here in this company, and her? She's here for ages! She's working here since she graduated seven years ago.

Hindi na sumagot si Reign sa halip hinawakan nito ang article at inilahad kay Dominique at hindi rin naman ito tinanggap ng huli.

"I simply do not like this one. It's like too fancy, too hopeless romantic. Mukhang hindi totoo." sabi nito habang tinignan ulit ang unang pahina ng kanyang pinakamamahal na article.

Dominique clenches her fists. Asar na asar na talaga siya sa boss niya na ito. Parang namemersonal na kasi.

"Anong mukhang hindi totoo dyan aber? We're on the love month for the next ish Reign. February. Ano ba ang sinabi mo last time? We're just doing what you told us to do!" wala siyang pakialam kung tumaas na ang boses niya. Basta ayaw niyang I-reject nito ang pinaghirapang niyang isulat ng dalawang linggo.

Ano nga ba ang nilalaman ng article niya?

Well, it's about how you love and be loved. Experiences and the likes. Oo, aaminin niyang medyo nahihirapan siyang magsulat ng tungkol dito because she doesn't have any boyfriend or even a present love life where she can based to. But she did her best! Two weeks is two weeks para sa isang two-page article. Napakahirap nitong gawin para sa kanya pero heto ang kanyang magaling na boss na ni-reject ang pinakamamahal niyang article!

Pero hindi siya dapat sumuko sa simpleng rejection lang. Kailangan niyang ipaglaban ang kanyang gawa rito.

"I won't take no for an answer here, Reign. Take it or leave it. "

Nagsukatan sila ng titig ng kanyang boss.

He has a beautiful set of eyes. Napaisip niya. Umiling ulit siya at tinitigan ito sa mga mata. But she's distracted to those hazel eyes! She knew those were not contacts. Sa pagkakaalam niya ay half-European ito. But who cares? This man rejected her beloved article! Dugo't pawis ang inilaan niya matapos lang ito.
