Megan's POV
"Hello? Meg?""Luisa! I missed you! buti naman at napatawag ka?" tanong ko sakanya
"Off course! babalik na kami diyan this week, and next week na yung engagement party namin ni ken" sabi nito sakanya "natanggap niyo na ba 'yung invitation?" tanong niya "pinahatid ko sa bahay niyo, minimake sure kong alam niyo baka nakalimutan niyo na ko eh!" pagbibiro niya pa
"gaga! pwede ba 'yun? I'll check sa bahay pag uwi ko" sabi ko sakanya
"Where are you ba? shoot?" tanong niya
"No, Nasa office" sabi ko sakanya
"Ahh!! Office ng---"
"Family business girl!
"OMG!!!! Lee Corp?? HALAAA BESHYY!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!" masaya niyang singhal
"Mas masaya 'ko sa'yo aba..." sabi ko sakanya habang inaayos pa rin yung mga gamit ko while inaayos ng Secretary kong si Abby ang mga upcoming files for signature and meetings sa mga susunod na araw
"Ih!! balita ko kay Cal--"
"Oo na!! Ichichika ko sayo pag uwi mo!" Sabi ko sa kabilang linya
nakita kong may kinakausap din sa phone si Abby which is galing sa front desk sa ground floor. Baka mamaya I have something to sign at kung ano-ano pa.
"Luisa comeback soon! I miss you! I'll hang up na I think may kailangan pa akong gawin. Take care!" sabi ko sakanya at binaba na
"Ah, Ms. Lee, Si sir Renz Loreto po nasa baba na po." Sabi niya
"Renz??" tanong ko ulit
OMG! oo nga pala! I just agreed na sumama sakanya gosh!! nawiwindang tuloy ako sa mga bigla bigla kong desisyon hay!!
"Okay sige, just tell them pababa na rin ako" sabi ko sakanya
Inayos ko saglit 'yung damit ko at mukha ko bago bumaba ayoko namang makitang haggard nitong si Renz.
Pagkababa ko I saw him. Tall, Chinito, Maputi in short gwapo.
"Hi" Bati niya sakin sabay abot ng bouquet of flowers.
"uy, para san to? nag abala ka pa." sabi ko sakanya
"It's for you." sabi niya at ngumiti
"Let's go?" tanong niya sakin
"I brought my car Renz" sabi ko sakanya
"It's okay, ang mahalaga I get the chance to eat with you." sabi niya sakin at ngumiti.
Bakit kaya ang bait bait nito saakin? hay nako.
Sumakay na ako sa sasakyan ko at nagmaneho na papuntang resto niya. Ilang minuto rin ang biyahe at nakarating na kami. I saw Renz's car na nagpapark lumabas na ako at hinintay siya. Sabay kaming pumasok. Pagkapasok namin binati siya ng mga empleyado niya as well ako.
Rinig na rinig ang kanta ng LANY which is Someone Else...
"I'm sorry that I loved her first" pagsabay ko sa kanta.
"You know the song?" tanong niya habang inaayos ang uupuan ko
"Yeah, it's my favorite band" sabi ko sakanya
"Really? me too" sabi niya at pinaupo na ako
"Thanks" sabi ko sakanya
our dinner table was set with wine on top. He told me he already ordered our food na sure daw siyang magugustuhan ko.
"uh..." paninimula niya na halatang nahihiya
"Alondra, I already told you through my texts na... I like you." paninimula niya. Off course! I'm shocked! although alam ko naman trough his texts talaga
nginitian ko siya. kinakabahan talaga ako!!
"It was a coward move actually, if you didn't scare me that you'll block me I wouldn't have the courage to actually get you on a date..." Sabi niya sakin. namumula na siya siguro'y nahihiya rin siya.
But I love someone else... How can I tell to this kind man...
"and now, I have this chance... I wouldn't let go of it... please... Alondra... let me prove myself to you... please... le-let me court you." sabi niya saakin
I was left shocked! I didn't know what will I response kung sasabihin ko ba sakanya na may iba akong gusto and it's not him...
"Sir here's your order" sabi nung waiter
OMG! THANK YOU LORD!! YOU'RE THE BEST FROM SAVING ME SA NAKAKAHIYANG SITWASYON!! PHEWW!!
inilapag na nung waiter yung mga pagkain and we start eating.
"Uhm... Renz..." paninimula ko... "Actually I don't know where to start kasi nahihiya ako sayo.." sabi ko... "I appreciate your efforts, I do... you are kind... and I think I need to tell you this because I don't want you to get hurt... but I already like someone else.." sabi ko sakanya
nakita ko ang paglungkot sa mga mata niya...
"No, It's okay Alondra" sabi niya sakin sabay ngiti "Nahuli yata ako ng dating? but good thing, He still brought you here, because of him I get to know you more..." nagpause siya sandali off course! confuse ako sa sinasabi niya. "The guy you like is my bestfriend..." sabi niya sakin and I saw his sad eyes again... hay...
"ho-how did you know?" tanong ko sakanya
"I saw the way you looked at him, I wished I was him..." tanong niya sakin "But, Alondra... will you please still give me a chance to prove to you myself... please..." tanong niya sakin
"but-"
"no but's Aloe, if i'll get hurt... I'll take the risks." sabi niya
I want to protest because somehow I don't want him to get hurt loving me while I am loving another... Even though i've got no chance with Calvin... he's still the guy that I love...
"Renz, Thank you for today... I really appreciate everything" sabi ko sakanya sabay nginitian ito.
but my heart already belongs to someone else...
"No Aloe, Thank you." sabi niya wearing his sweet smile
"I'll go ahead then?" pag papaalam ko.
I was about to leave but I saw someone familiar...
Those broad shoulders... That style of hair... His aura... at ang mapupungay niyang mata... straightly looking at me...

Romance"I can only love her when she finally change me from being a stone-hearted man." Sabi nila pain can make people change, pain makes people grow and stronger but what if there's a twist in it and you're still stuck on past... paano ang present?
