Her Eyes Bedevil...(ON HOLD)

Chapter 2: In Her Eyes I felt Eternity

"The meaning of eternity will not be defined by the content of your heart but by whoever fills in that empty space within." - unknown

Sarah's POV

"Good Morning!" Masaya kong pagbati sa mga employees namin. Kasiyahan ko na makitang silang masaya sa kanilang trabaho. I really make sure that they are not just well compensated but also taken care off. To make an effective employee, you need to understand that they need rest, leisure, family time and among other things. Kaya sa company ko we only have 4 working days every week.

When I started the company, I always asked myself, Why am I doing this? Is it just to make money and that's it? But No! I need to have my purpose first before I can make money out of it. I draw inspiration from the life story of a successful filipino engineer in Silicon Valley.

Our country is one of fastest rising economies in the world, but still our internet technology is one of the slowest. So I took the challenge. I need to start a company with better services that will hire thousands more. There will be hardships, for sure but I was and still determined.

So I started Pacific Loop Telecom, and with the help of my dad and family, I was able to do it.

"Where's the boyfriend?" bati sa akin ni daddy, he never really fails to annoy me with his campaign of getting me a boyfriend. Gusto niya daw akong makitang ikasal at magkaapo sa akin. Kung kani kanino ako nirereto, pagka may maispatan siyang possible candidate, he really go for the introduction. Kaya na babansagan akong Ice Queen kasi lahat ng lalaking nireto niya and even yung nagaattempt manligaw, ay tinuturn down ko agad.

Could you blame me? Ang hirap kaya ng pinagdaanan ko. Ang hirap ko daw pasayahin at ang manhid.

Mabait naman akong tao, it's just na love is not for me. Ayaw kong magpaasa at magwaste ng time sa akin ng tao kung alam ko naman na wala silang mapapala sa akin, kaya telling them to stop is the right thing to do.

But here's the funny thing, may consistent akong secret admirer na laging nagpapadala ng flowers for 3 months now, wala akong idea kung sino because I don't give a damn about it. I Instructed my secretary to dump the flowers in the bin immediately para makuha ng kung sino mang secret admirer na yan ang message na wala siyang pagasa sa akin.

"Anak, you're not getting any younger. Gusto ko lang naman na you would have someone na magaalaga sayo when you get old." nagalala niyang sabi.

"Exactly Dad. Hindi pa naman ako matanda na talaga, saka nalang siguro on my 60's? What do you think?" mapangasar kong suggestion sabay kindat sa kanya.

"Anak, if you can only give yourself a chance.

Don't you wanna be happy again?" seryoso niyang tanong sakin.

Define happy ba? For me kasi, happiness means being able to live my life at peace. Sige nga, ano ang happiness?

"Dad, I am happy. I really am. Does happiness really have something to do with love all the time? Hindi pa pwedeng maging happy kahit single?" pagiinisist ko sa kanya, medyo hindi ko na nagugustuhan ang usapang eto.

"Of course Anak, look at your friends, they're happily married to fine men. Hindi kaba naiingit?"

I knew it! He's playing dirty with me. For sure may binabalak na naman to talaga.

"Dad, just please, kung ano man yang binabalak mo, stop it there. I won't take the bait." I said mocking him, nababasa ko na kasi siya, may ipapadate na naman to for sure sakin. Sino na naman kayang anak ng kakilala niya ang ipapakilala niya sakin.
