SETTING: NEW YORKTumunog ang phone ni Quinn. Isang unknown number ang tumawag sa kanya habang namamasyal siya sa iba't ibang sulok ng New York.
"Hello? Who's this?" tanong ni Quinn sa taong nasa kabila ng linya.
"Quinn, magtatampo na talaga ako sa'yo." tinig ng lalaki ang sumalubong kay Quinn.
"Anthony??!"
Anthony Madrigal is one of New York's famous architects, at a young age of 24 -- gwapo, mature, looks and acts old for his age, and right-hand lang naman ni Francis Buenavista. Before graduating, he was the top of his class sa Columbia University in New York kaya he was lucky to have his internship at one of New York's biggest architectural firm, no less than the Vista-Holt Technology.
"Oo, ako 'to." sagot ni Anthony. "Di mo man lang ako pina-alam na bumalik ka pala ng New York at dito ka pa magpaPasko."
"Sorry... biglaan din kasi yung change of plans namin. Sa Pilipinas lang talaga kami dapat magpaPasko kaso hindi naman namin inexpect yung nangyari kay dad." Quinn replied.
"I changed my company phone just recently but you can always email me... or message me on facebook or instagram." pahayag ni Anthony. "I knew about your dad but I wasn't able to visit. Pinadala ako ng firm sa Italy for a very important business negotiation when it happened. Hindi ko maiwan. I found out you flew to New York the next day. Sayang, di na kita naabutan."
"Ah, yes. Isang linggo lang. Umuwi na rin ako kaagad kasi may eskwela. I even missed my midterms nga."
"Are you free later? Yayayain sana kita magdinner tonight on this French restaurant na lagi kong pinupuntahan... You know, to catch up." Anthony invited.
"O sige ba...text mo sa'kin yung address." Quinn affirmed.
"Okay, I'll see you later then."
