"I'm fine..." mataimtim itong nakatitig sa akin. "I mean... Really, I'm fine."

"Don't be a hardheaded brat... Change into comfortable clothes." nagsungit na naman!

Hindi ko talaga inaakala na ganito pala ang ugali ng taong ito. Napa-kabossy!

"Luke, you don't have to do this. I fine now. Kanina lang talaga masakit. Nasagad ko lang ang katawan ko, pero hindi na masakit ngayon." lie, masakit pa talaga ang katawan ko pero hindi ko iyon aaminin. Damn body pain!

Nag-iwas ito ng tingin at masungit na ginulo ang sariling buhok. The annoyed look is very evident. He initiated on giving me a massage, although the idea was so tempting but I've promised to keep myself away from him as much as possible, If I had a chance of course.

"Magpapahinga lang siguro ako sa loob." I pointed my room. We're at the living room he's sitting in the sofa comfortably while me standing two meters away from him. He slowly nod without giving me a glance so I excused myself. I let-out a deep sigh for relief as I walk towards my bed.

I can't stand his presence today. Even though I like it when we're inch away from each other, but sometimes it felt suffocating and giddy especially if he's in a grumpy or inclemency mood. Like today! they said that girls has this unexplainable kind of mood swings, but right after I've met luke, I was kind of doubting what philosophers have accredited. I have my grandfather who's temperament I don't understand sometimes, specially if he wants tenderness from Lola, not to mention paulo who's attitude I don't usually get, let's include travis on the list, that boy has a crazy character one minute his playful next minute his serious and next minute his mad! Like seriously? How about my men cousins, uncles and any other guy friends? I want to roll my eyes as I remember them one-by-one.

It's really hard to believe that we, girls, have no justifiable mood swings because men are!

Or, it was just me? Surrounded by men with unexplainable crazy attitude!

It was lunch time when I heard a soft knock behind my door. Maybe it's ate aljie knocking me for lunch? I got up, closing the book I was reading earlier before I got disturb.

"Na disturbo ko ba ang pahinga mo?" oh no ate aljie, you have no idea.

"Hindi naman."

"Handa na ang tanghalian. Mag ayos kana." Really? Mag-ayos? Napangiti ako bago tumango.

Bumalik ako sa loob ng kwarto at nag suklay bago lumabas.

Nasa hapag na si luke pagkadating ko, hindi pala ito lumabas? Wala ba itong trabaho? At his age? I'm certain that he's now working or even running his own company, it no surprise to me specially that he's a falcon. Ang gara lang ginawa pang-tambayan ang bahay ko.

Nang nag angat ito ng tingin sa akin ay tinaasan ko ito ng kilay.

"No work?" I shamelessly asked.

"I'm the boss." He then shrugged his shoulders in a smooth manner.

"Well then, perks of being a boss huh?" hindi na ito nagsalita kaya'y umupo ako sa silyang katapat nito.

I was eating while thinking somethings about Luke. I mean I don't really have an idea who's this guy are, I only know him by the thought that he is my father son but nothing more else. I only know him by name! It drives me to thinking about why we haven't met before? After all business world wasn't that big! I mean he is a falcon son, they are quite famous in business industry.

I never heard him before not even on newspaper or in business magazines! So unusual, I mean I'm not into business section but it doesn't mean I've I'm not interested right? Kilala ko nga ang kahit simpling negosyante sa ibang bansa pero bakit si luke ay hindi ko kilala? Specially that he is a falcon by name and by blood. It makes me wonder. Maybe he value his private life so much? But how about his business life? Still, it doesn't really made sense!
