"Hay salamat nakauwi rin."panatag na turan ko ng makatapak na kami ni Marius rito sa loob ng aking apartment, sa haba ba naman ng oras ng aming drinive ay talagang mapapagod ka kahit na salitan kami pag pagod na ang isa.

Although we are still awkward after his sudden confession, Marius told me that it's just normal for me to act surprised lalo na't hindi talaga ako nakaimik kanina. Just seeing your best friend suddenly said that he is in love with you is something that gives you a sudden heart attack!

"Mag luluto lang ako Mera diyan ka lang ha?"sabi nito kasabay ng pag punta niya sa kitchen, tignan mo 'yun umamin lang siya pa 'tong naging gentleman 'eh halos ayaw nga niyang mag luto 'nong 'di pa umamin.

"Marius...you, what?"I cannot even utter a word because of his sudden attack on me, tila ba hindi ako makagalaw sa aming kinauupuan dahil sa kanyang isiniwalat.

All this time? He is in love with me? Pero kailan? Saan? Paano? My heart is really confused same as my head because of this swirling emotions inside, I am starting to fall in love with someone else which is Brandon but here I am witnessing how my childhood best friend telling me that he love me.

"I am in love with you, I don't know how but I just felt it Yumera. Isn't it ironic na ngayon ko lang nasabi sa'yo after all this years?"

"Marius this is━this is━"

"I know I got you surprised but I just can't hide it anymore,"he added leaving me speechless, how's this even possible?

To have someone loving you and to yearn someone who's still in love to his past? Am I a fool for loving Brandon when all this time Marius is a good catch? Maybe yes but maybe no, it is my choice falling for him but I can't just act recklessly.

"I'm so sorry Marius, you know that I am not yet ready to━"he cut me off.

"Stop, I know your not yet ready to enter a relationship. I am not forcing you to love me Yumera, I spent my time wanting to tell you about this but I am scared that I might lose you that is why I hid it for a long time.

But please, let me love you, let me have the opportunity to show you that I am serious."he said.

"I hope that you will still consider me as one of your closest friend, I hope that nothing will change just because of this sudden confession of mine."dagdag ni Marius rason para mapangiti ako ng mapakla, oh gosh, this is getting complicated. Brandon is messing my head and my heart now Marius will also mess it because of confusion.

"Pero bakit? What made you love me? Anong nagustuhan mo sakin?"I asked.

"To be honest, you are beautiful inside and out Yumera. 'Yun ang nagustuhan ko sa'yo━everything about you."he confessed making me smile for a second but later on my smile fades as I found myself wanting to hear those words from that one personthat one person which is no other than Brandon.

"Kumain na tayo Mera!"nabalik ako sa aking wisyo ng sumigaw si Marius mula sa kitchen. Mabilis naman akong tumayo sa aking kinauupuan at mabilis na nagtungo sa kitchen kung saan naabutan ko siyang nag aayos ng table

"Wow ha ang bait mo ata ngayon at ikaw ang nag luto?"pang aalaska ko rito pero umirap lamang siya bago kami umupo at nagsimula ng kumain.

"Ayaw mo 'nun? May cook ka? Jowain mo na kase ako!"he said making me slap his hand with my spoon.

"Bolero! Siya nga pala, free ako hanggang Friday, may pupuntahan ka pa? Sasamahan kita."

"Hanggang Thursday na lang ang stay ko rito kase may nag email kanina sakin, may bagong client na naman ako at kailangan kaming mag meet sa Friday."sagot nito.

"Ay seryoso? Is that a company or just someone who needs to build a house, apartment or something?"well Marius is a well-known engineer in the Philippines that is why he tend to have a lot of clients lalong lalo na 'yung mga businessmen or enterprises.

He is good and excellent in his job that is why he has a good feedback along with his former clients creating an image that gives him credit for his hardwork.

"I don't know pero na-mention ni Mr. Zhang na isa daw itong resort and they are hiring someone from Gitsune Empire as their architect of this project. Which means that person will be my partner in creating the blue print and planning about the said project."sagot nitong si Marius.

"Gitsune Empire? I think I heard that before but I kinda don't remember at some point."I mumbled.

"Of course you do, sino ba naman ang hindi nakakakilala sa mga 'yun 'eh halos laman sila ng business magazines sa buong Pilipinas. Lalong lalo na sa Japan, China, and yes also in New York. They are huge and one of the up rising empire in many aspects."Marius added.

"Eh sino naman 'yung magiging partner mo 'dun? I mean sino 'yung architect?"

"Hmmm.. let me check kung nasend na ni Mr. Zhang 'yung kontrata."Marius declared before he took out his phone and started to swipe, dahil nga naging abala itong si Marius sa pag kutingting ng kanyang phone ay mabilis akong natapos kumain at tumayo para uminom ng tubig.

"Oh! Here it is! Oh, babae pala siya? She's one of the major stock holders of Gitsune Enterprises slash their architect. Sabi ni Mr. Zhang pinsan daw siya ng CEO at owner,"Marius exclaimed.

"Wow naman, multi talented."komento ko.

"What's her name?"I asked in curiousity before I drank all my water.

"Shamara Ezra Wu,"

Oh God.
