Surrender To You

I arrived at the municipal hall at exact three o'clock in the afternoon, it's a good thing na walang traffic kaya sakto lang din ang dating ko.

Bago bumaba ay tinignan ko muna ang sarili sa salamin. I put a small amount of blush on to my cheeks and a red lip balm to my lips, when I got contented I let out a heavy sigh before getting off my car.

I didn't bother to bring any proposal or documents. My lawyer already gave it to the Mayor and I just need to discuss it further to him. It will be a great deal kung makuha namin ang approval niya. At bakit hindi na lang din mag supply dito? In the very first place the hacienda is here in San Del Monte.
It really bother me kung bakit hindi kami nag aangkat ng produkto dito sa San Del Monte eh kung dito nakatayo ang hacienda. I never ask my grandparents or my parents about it, they don't even look bother so i didn't tried to ask.

I just want to continue the legacy. Not only to expand our business but to give a chance to other people to have a work.

My grandparents started this business, they started from scratch until one day it boomed and with this they started to help the poor by giving them the opportunity of having a job. And my parents has the like to do it so they continued what my grandparents started and so do I, will continue it.

Ng makapasok sa loob ng municipal hall ay ang isang maliit na receiving area at may malaking painting ng bayan ng San Del Monte ang bumungad sa akin. The municipal hall is more likely a mansion with a touch of Spanish interior, from in and out you can see it. Even the sofa set is made out of wood well furnished and the walls, is well made also. The ceiling has a painting of the native people of San Del Monte, mas gumanda pa ito dahil sa liwanag na ng gagaling sa wooden chandelier. Everything look so preserve i can't help but to be amaze.

"Good afternoon Ma'am, Anong po'ng kailangan nila?" Bungad sa akin ng receptionist when I got in front of her.

"I have an appointment to Mayor Del Salvo."  I said as I give out a bit of smile.

Tumango naman ito at biglang may tinignan sa journal note nito kung saan naka lista ang mga pangalan ng may a appointment sa mayor.

"Miss Laquesta, Tama po ba?" She said as she raised her face to me.

"Yes." I said.

"Ah sige po Ma'am. Ipapaalam ko lang po sa sekretarya ni Mayor na nandito kana po."
I just nodded and just roam my eyes around the hall.

The girl receptionist got busy on the phone, announcing about my arrival as she asked for a permission to let me in.

A flirtatious chuckled caught my attention. Sa tahimik ng receiving area ay ito lang ang tanging makakakuha ng atensyon mo.  I raised my left eyebrow. Is flirting allowed in this building? Seriously?

A girl in a black skirt partnered with a fitted pick polo shirt with a dark chocolate brown wavy hair busy flirting to a guy who looks like a farmer but at the same time looks like not, facing my direction.

It has a big strong broad shoulder paired with toned biceps and triceps and I guess behind those fitted white longsleeve  he has something that will let every women droll. A tall moreno guy, thick brows, luscious pinkish lips and a honey colored eyes with long eye lashes. Upturned nose and prominent strong jaw. How come there's such a handsome farmer in this place? He look so good you wouldn't  mistake him for being one.

I felt a sudden jolt when his eyes met mine. Those honey colored eyes that sent thousand shiver down my spine along time ago met mine once again.

I gulped. He changed. His more intense now, his aura is intimidating, his intense gaze glued my feet, let my heart beat erratically. I never thought that he'll affect me this  much, far from before.  I can't even think a word with the way he look at me. I hold my breath na para bang pati pag hinga ay mahirap dahil sa pag titig niya.
