"We're here!" Mayor Salvatorre said as we stopped in front of a big mansion.

Crisp stucco finishes, terra cotta barrel tile roofing, courtyards, wrought iron balusters, a big entrance door made from wood and big glass windows all over the walls to finish the look added the Spanish Colonial touch to the mansion.

Sa sobrang laki, my mouth was left opened in awe. We entered a big gate kanina and now merong malaking fountain sa gitna paikot sa may entrance ng napakalawak na mansion.

I can't even explain it because it's just so beautiful and breathtaking. Mas okay pa ata tumira dito kesa sa Manila.

"Hmmm," Max groaned as he moved beside me. Bumangon na siya from my shoulder at agad na kinusot ang mata niya.

I looked at him and his eyes were so cute now that he just woke up! Mas lalo ito lumiit and I stopped myself from pinching his cheeks.

It might cost me my job.

He looked at me innocently. I think he just realized that he fell asleep on my shoulders.

"Welcome to Villa Salvatorre, Max and Ria!" Mayor Salvatorre said as he got out of the car.

Max looked around sleepily. Kinuha ko ang bag niya at inabot sakanya. My shoulders feel kinda sore but it's okay dahil nakatulog naman siya ng maayos.

"We're here na. Hope you slept well," I told him. I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling because he looks so cute lalo na at kakagising lang niya.

He fixed his face and looked at his watch. After that, binuksan niya ang pinto and we both got out.

I enjoyed the trip because I saw how beautiful Soleado is. The people are even waving at Mayor Salvatorre outside kanina and they all look so happy. Indeed, iba ang weather dito. Usually it's hot when it's this sunny pero dito it feels relaxing.

"Wow," I exclaimed when I got out of the car. I'm now seeing a better view of the whole mansion.

Sobrang ganda ng exterior ng house. I feel like dapat ito yung mga naf-feature sa mga home channels. I wonder who designed this? I want a house like this when I'm old.

"It's breathtaking, Mayor. No wonder your family is full of engineers and architects," Max said.

Inakbayan siya ni Mayor at saka tumawa. Zion walked papasok sa loob and he signaled the maids to get our bags.

Agad naman lumapit ang mga ito but I refused to hand them mine dahil magaan lang naman ito and kaya ko naman. I smiled to the maid and declined to her offer.

"Ay naku! We all know your mansion in manila is much more bigger than this! Wala ka bang bahay sa provinces?" Mayor said as we walked papasok sa mansion.

"I bought a house po in Nuvali," Max replied. "But not this big.."

"Hmm. No plans of settling down?" The Mayor laughed.

"Not yet, Mayor.." Max replied while smiling.

I was so busy admiring the interior of the house that I almost forgot na may mga kasama ako. It was so beautiful from the outside and lalo na sa loob! It was simple and hindi ganon karangya ang mga furnitures and in fact ang sofa nila ay made from wood lang but they made it look pretty!

I looked around and may malaking staircase sa gilid made from wood as well. Sa harap is the dining room and sa may left is the sofa. They have a chandelier sa gitna ng room.
