Money. Kung may pinakaimportanteng bagay man na mayroon sa mundong ito, 'yun ay ang pera.

They keep on saying money can't buy you happiness but it can, in my own way. That's what keeps me moving, what keeps me motivating.

Sa panahon kasi ngayon, ang mga tao, hindi na bumabase sa kung ano ka, bumabase sila kung anong mayroon ka. If you have the money, and the status, you can have what you want. Anywhere, anytime.

His dark brown eyes stared intently at me, his calloused, rough hand felt so firm and warm against mine.

I noticed how he looked so playful yet serious all this time, his furrowed brows, his thinned lips and stubborn jaw.

There is something in his eyes that keeps me looking at him, ni hindi ko na napansing magkahawak pa rin ang aming kamay roon matapos ang shakehands.

"Miss?" His baritone, cold voice called.

I froze, mabilis na napabitaw sa kanyang kamay at napaayos ng tayo.

I glanced at him and licked my lower lip.

"Uh, I haven't introduced myself to you." I said, clearing my throat and standing firmly.

"You can call me Sera," I said softly.

He stared at me, his eyes seems too serious but enough to make me feel uneasy and nervous.

Hindi s'ya nagsalita at tumango lang, he stood and put his hand on his pocket and I immediately cleared my throat and asked him.

"You? What should I call you?" I asked curiously.

He stared again briefly and cocked his head.

"Ephraim," He said huskily.

Oh...that was a hot name.

I nodded, biting my lip and suddenly remembered how I look right now! Hindi pa ako naliligo!

I began panicking, sumulyap ako sa sarili ko at napapikit ng mariin nang makitang nakashirt lang ako at shorts!

"Engineer, handa na po ang sasakyan." Napabaling kami sa lalaking nakaputing uniporme roon.

I saw the man stared at me briefly before looking at his boss.

"Mauna ka na, I will drive the car." He said coldly.

"Sigurado po kayo? Tumawag rin po si Ma'am Emilia at may gaganapin daw pong presscon sa nangyari."

"Susunod ako," He said and the driver nodded, muling sumulyap sa akin na nagtataka bago yumukod at umalis.

I bit my lip, I silently stared at him and blinked when he looked at me again.

"U-Uh, kung gusto mo pumasok ka muna..." I said, mentioning our house.

He slightly nodded and put his hands on his pocket, tumalikod naman ako para makapasok sa bahay pero kinakabahan na ako roon.

Good this is that, my parents are gone. Kaagad kong nakita si Miggy na nanunuod ng TV kaya tumikhim ako para tawagin ang kanyang atensyon.

He took a glance at us, ang maamong mata ay bahagyang tumulis nang makitang may kasama akong lalaki.

"Migs, si engineer..." I said softly, nang sumulyap ako sa lalaking katabi ko ay nakita kong binasa n'ya ang labi at nakatingin lang sa akin.

"Uh, si Migs, kapatid ko." I said.

Nakita ko ang pagtayo ng kapatid ko mula sa sofa papunta sa tabi ko, kita ko ang taka at hiya sa kanyang mukha habang nakatingin sa matangkad at tahimik na lalaki sa tabi ko.
