Chapter 30
After one year
"Ms. Sloane, may nagpadala po para sa inyo." Belle said and hand me a flower. Nag-thank you lang ako at lumabas na din siya agad. Ever since na-promote ako as the head of Architect Department ang dami ng nagpapadala ng bulaklak galing sa mga kaibigan ko. Kahit sila Tracy at Jace na na-promote din naman mas mataas sa dati nilang position, pinadalhan din ako ng bulaklak. Pero itong bulaklak na hawak ko ngayon, it feels different from all the flowers that I received.
Naghanap ako ng card or any paper na nakaipit sa bulaklak pero napatigil din ako nang may mahulog na papel, kinuha ko 'to agad at binasa ang nasa loob;
'Congrats on your promotion, Alli'
The hand writing is so familiar. Kinuha ko agad ang phone ko para i-message siya.
To: Sylas
Got your flowers, thank you, Sy
From: Sylas
Congrats again on your promotion, Alli. I'm proud of you
Isang taon na simula ng magkahiwalay kami at ilang buwan lang din nang magkita kami dahil sa conference na pinuntahan niya dito sa Pilipinas. Kung hindi ko lang ata nalaman kay Tita na umuwi siya, hindi pa kami magkikita.
"Hindi mo man lang sinabi sakin na uuwi ka." I said while pouting.
After that day, hindi na ulit kami nagkausap until he messaged me that we're okay to be friends again tapos itong umuwi siya, hindi man lang nagsabi sakin.
"Sorry na, ilang araw lang din kasi ako mags-stay para sa conference and I thought you'd be busy that why I didn't bother calling you." He answered.
We just spent his free time together bago siya bumalik sa hotel niya, mamaya na agad yung flight niya kaya kailangan niya na din mag-impake.
"Thanks for hanging out with me again, see you when I see you, I guess." I said and give him a hug before I went inside my car.
That's our last meeting and now, he gave me flowers for my promotion. Pilit kong kinukulit si Mama na ipadala ako sa Italy dahil alam kong doon naka-base si Sylas at alam kong may company din kami doon pero ayaw man lang ako papuntahin ni Mama kesyo mas kailangan ako dito sa Philippines. Ugh!

I just occupied myself with work especially now that I'm the head, mas madami na din akong tinatrabaho, I have this condo project in Tagaytay and a house renovation in Bulacan. They personally asked me to design their house and that's when I realized na isa pala sa mga prof ko nung college yung may-ari ng bahay na yun. And up until now, wala pa din akong design na nagagawa for them just because yung wife ni Sir Paz ay nasa ibang bansa at gusto niya sa sundin ko lahat ng suggestions ng wife niya.
