It was a lovely morning when I've decided to roam and head my way to my favorite place, it is a cliff but not too high for a cliff and beyond that is the huge plantation of sugarcane of the family De Herrera where you can see and witness the most beautiful sunrise ever. This is where I go everytime I take a morning walk. Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit gustong, gusto kong masilayan ang unang sikat ng araw, i find it so beautiful and peaceful at the same time. Napangiti ako ng unti unting sumilay ang ngiti at dumampi sa aking balat ang sinag ng haring araw. Simula na naman ng panibagong pag asa't panibagong yugto ng mahirap kong buhay. Pero ni minsan, hindi ko naisip na naging malas ako sa buhay dahil mahirap lng kami. Aaminin kong mahirap nga ang buhay na dinadanas namin pero hindi ko naranasang maging malungkot sa piling ng mga mapagmahal kong magulang. Just like how family De Herrera, eventhough how rich and powerful they are, they're not looking down on people who's working for them just like me. I work for them as their helper and maid every weekends and during weekdays I work in their hacienda as Senyora Lucia De Herrera's secretary. I really admire and respect their family. Hinahangaan ko sila hindi dahil mayaman sila. Hinahangaan ko sila dahil hindi sila matapobre at gahaman sa yaman kung kaya't lahat ng kanilang mga tauhan ay nirerespeto sila. And I admire them as the epitome of Perfect family. Si Don Marcus De Herrera ay ang ama ni Senyor Lucas De Herrera na asawa ni Senyora Lucia De Herrera they have five children. Their eldest is Lexus Veyron, second is Alfa Romeo, third is Aston Martin, fourth is Benz Datsun and the youngest is Chrysler Roewe. Chrysler Roewe is really close to me and my family I treat him as my brother, Hindi ako close sa apat na mga kapatid niya dahil nasa ibat- ibang bansa sila namamalagi pero si Lexus Veyron ay ni minsan di ko pa nasilayan dahil rinig ko'y sa Spain daw ito namamalagi at may sariling negosyo at bahay doon. Hindi naman kami talaga taga rito, we just came here 5 yrs ago dahil namatay ang lolo ko kaya naisipan ni papa na dito nalang din kami mamalagi dahil nag offer si Don Marcus ng trabaho ky papa at kay mama dito ko narin ipinagpatuloy ang aking pag-aaral they gave me scholarship and now they're giving my younger sister schorship also. at pagkatapos ko mag aral ay kinuha akong secretary ni Maam Lucia. Which she prefer to call her when we're at work at Tita naman daw kapag namamasukan akong maid sa kanila kada weekends..

Sa kalagitnaan ng katahimikan ay my mga yabag ng kabayo akong narinig, my eyes narrowed to where it was and then I saw a black arabian stallion which probably one of the properties of family De Herrera. My heart hammered in my chest when I saw the masculine black horse. I've never seen that horse before it's far different from the horses of the senyoritos I've never seen them ride a black horse most of the time I see them riding brown or white horse.

"Who are you?" That deep baritone voice thundered in my ears. Napatingin ako sa lalaking sakay ng kabayo. My heartbeat doubled when i get to stare at those protruding stormy black eyes. They were dangerous and mysterious. My mouth parted as to what I see now, he's like a God looking down at a mortal like me.
Napasinghap ako ng bumaba siya sa kabayo niya. Kasabay noon ay ang paunti-unti kong pag atras at tumakbo palayo sa lalaking naging sanhi ng pagtibok ng puso ko.
"Hey! Wait!" He shouted.

After that incident this morning I cant get off those black eyes out of my mind.

"Hija? Are you okay?" Tanong ni Senyora Lucia.

"Yes, ma'am I'm okay, Im sorry I space out." Sabi ko sabay tipid na ngiti.
Napatango nalang si Senyora Lucia tsaka ngumiti pabalik. Hindi ko talaga ma isip na ganong klaseng ka gwapohan, those protruding black eyes paired with thick eyebrows and curly long lashes, his arrogant nose, thin red lips and square jaw. Can't get enough of his handsomeness. Oh god!
"Hayyy" i sighed and dreamily imagine that man.

Lexus' POV
"Damn dude I saw you with Alexandra Grande last night, really dude?"My best friend Kyle taunt me and then laughed a bit he's half spaniard and half filipino.
"Hindi ko alam na ganon ka na ka tindi. Is she good in bed?"

I smirked "napaka chismoso mo Kyle tumigil ka dude." Napatawa ako ng sumimangot siya. Para talagang bata.

"Comm'on dude dont be so secretive." He said then started lifting weights. We're currently in the gym. Pero patuloy parin si Kyle sa pangungumbinsi na sabihin ko sa kanya lahat ng detalye. Yes every fucking DETAILS.

Im On my way home when my phone rang it was from papa. Napangiti ako.

"Hey son! how are you?" Really? Alam kong may kailangan to o may pabor na hihilingin. Alam ko na modus ni papa.

"Come on pa, I know you're up to something. Spill it." I answered and smirked.

He chuckled. "Oh, you know me too well huh?."

"Of course pa."

"Son your mama and your abuelo want you here because of the upcoming death anniversary of your abuela."

"Pa,"

"I dont want no for an answer Lexus Veyron. I want you here with us your brothers will be home too so you have to be too!" My mama shouted back at me on the phone. While my papa and abuelo laughed.

I sighed "fine mama." I guess I really have to go home.

"Good, I want you here as soon as possible." Napamura ako ng mahina. Really ASAP? I dont do teleportation. Shit.

"Are you cursing me now Lexus?!!" Napa upo ako ng tuwid dahil sa sinabi ni mama.

"Of course not ma."

"Good. Now pack up your things and go home. I want you here ASAP!"

"Okay ma. Bye ma. Love you and see you." I sighed.

Dumating ako sa hacienda 6 in the morning. So I've decided to get Axis one of my favorite horse, he's an Arabian Stallion. Oh I missed riding with him. He neighed when I touched him.

"Hey buddy. I'll take you on a ride. I hope you still run fast" i smirked. I miss riding with him. Noon palaging siya ang kasama ko tuwing namamasyal ako. Sumampa ako sa likuran niya at kinabig siya palabas ng hacienda.

Napadpad kami sa isang bangin na tanaw ang malawak na taniman ng tubo. Wow. Pero may napansin akong babae na nakatanaw sa papasikat na araw, her back is facing me. She's wearing a yellow dress. Her natural bown wavy hair danced with the morning air breeze. Napatulala ako ng bahagya siyang lumingon sa gawi ko. Sa kabayo siya nakating so i had the chance to stare at her rare beauty, her fair skin matched her hair and her dress, she has freckles at her nose bridge and her undereyes, and as I can see she has freckles showing on her shoulder blades and colar bones.
"Who are you?" I asked. Napatingala siya sa akin. I was was dazed, stunned and amazed because she has different eye colors, amber and blue thats it. Oh boy. She's goddamn beautiful. I controled myself not to touch her because I know she'll be scared. Napamura ako ng mahina when she started walking backwards and I panicked when she run away from me.
"Hey wait." Fuck. I didn't get her name.

That's the start. And Now I Can Still see her running away from me in my dreams. Who are you really? Fuck.
