Jacob
Hi. I'm Jacob, a Sales and Marketing Officer at one of the biggest companies here in the metro.
I'm not quite thirty, but I'm getting there. I have four sisters and I'm the only boy, the youngest as well.
My girlfriend is someone I've been with for almost six years now. We got together in college then broke up. Then, in one party that I went to, I saw her there and boom. We just decided to get back together again and we haven't parted ever since.
She's the one I will marry some time in the future, that much I know. She's from a well off family, gorgeous, and we just fit, you know?
It's quiet and steady and I was pretty sure my days of looking at other women were over.
But life tends to throw you a curve ball just when you feel like you've figured it out, right?
It was a pretty dull day at work.
I was just working on my administrative stuff when I noticed some movement at the area to my right, which had been vacant for a time.
"Dito sila Ma'am Sab," said a staff member, who then proceeded to scuttle about clearing the desk of some papers.
I turned to my team lead. "Pare, anong nangyayari?"
"Lilipat diyan yung Finance team."
Just as I turned to the opposite direction again, a face appeared at the desk beside me and I saw one of the most beautiful faces I ever saw in this office. And I couldn't help but stand up and introduce myself.
"Hi. I'm Jacob Magnaye."
She smiled, giving me a little tentative, assessing look. "Sabina de Leon."
And that was the start of the happiest and most turbulent time of my life.
