Natapos ang aking trabaho at tama nga ako, Zach waited for me to finish all my works. And he waited almost 3 hours waiting for me in his car. Mabuti nalang at hindi ko dinala ang aking sasakyan dahil tinamad ako kaninang magdrive so I rode with a cab.

Sa pagkapasok ko pa lang sa kanyang sasakyan ay naamoy ko na ang kanyang pabango. It was so delicate to my nostrils— it doesn't irritate me. He revved the engine while I was only looking outside the window, and when I heard its roar, I reclined myself at the backrest of this leather black seat.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit narito siya. He has his own business for this night— like the digested case I was talking about awhile. Even I haven't had a chance to study a law, I know that it was so difficult— arduous. Medyo mahirap na nga para sa akin ang pagkwenta ng pera and calculate some equations that I don't really understand why they exist.

My eyes remained fixated to the road. Gabi na at ang mga kulay kahel at puting ilaw nalang ang nagbibigay ganda sa paligid. Nasasanay na rin ako na ganitong oras ako nakakauwi. And of course, I was still on process of getting used of my work now. I couldn't deny that I was pondering of my what ifs— like choosing my own dream and leave my parents' will for my future. Well, it was entirely an illusion because first of all, I can't do it in real life. I was so inept in doing my own dreams.

Besides, my dream was to become a Fashion Designer— but according to my Father, I wasn't fitted to that career because I was born to run the company and I should not leave it just because of my pathetic dream. I remembered how he became so furious and mad at me when he saw a lots of designs in my sketch book. Because of my fear to him, I immediately burned all of it— and that was the time I let go my dream for my family.

Mula no'n ay hindi ko na inabala ang aking sarili para ipagpatuloy ang aking pangarap. Narito na ako ngayon at wala ng atrasan pa. Dad was right, I was a Del Cel, I was born to maneuver the company and not to be in other profession. I nipped my skin just to extrude me from my trance. I should not think about it now.

Nakarating kami sa Condominium Building at agad na naghanap si Zach ng parking slot. He opened his car and jumped out, he supposed to open the door for me but it was too late because I was already outside, standing straight through my feet. He protruded his lips and remained standing in front of me.

"What's your problem?" I asked, looking little perplexed because of what he was doing.

"I'm just staring at you, is it bad?"

I grimaced, "Not really. But can you just walk straight to our condo unit? I kind of hungry already."

He nodded, "I should've brought you to the nearest restaurant."

"You don't have to. I can cook for myself."

"Give me that work for this night, then."

"And why?"

"Come on, Blair." he purred, "I'll be going to do my thesis for next week so I won't be able to see you as much as before."

"So?"

"I want to serve you for this night."

Kumunot ang aking noo pero tumango na rin. Wala na rin naman akong magagawa. Besides, I was so exhausted and I think I won't be able to cook a food for myself— I had only spilled those words because of my pride. And I also want to taste his dishes again. Zach was so very good cook, I don't know but he was much better that anyone I know.

We didn't talk after that and immediately swept to my condo unit. Agad akong dumiretso sa aking kwarto, leaving Zach at my kitchen. Bahala na siya para sa mga ingredients na gagamitin niya. He also knew where my kitchen utensils were so I have nothing to worry. After taking off my sandals, I threw myself on my bed and instantly bogged it half of my body. I yawned and after that, I closed my eyes and didn't know what happened next.
