Coffee's been my downfall ever since everything was a disaster. Ang paso at tamang pait na dulot nito sa aking dila ay tila ba tumulong sa akin na gisingin ang aking diwa.

Well, I've been a good for nothing kind of girl.

Life sucks to the point na ayaw ko na talagang gumising pa. Salamat sa kape, ginising ako nito.

Salamat sa kape at naririto ako, nakaupo, bilang Isnia Montemayor, ang magiging tagapagmana ng Montemayor Group of Companies.

And soon, I will be...

"Ms. Montemayor?"

Napatigil ako sa pag-iisip ng kung anu-ano when someone called me. Lumingon ako with a terrifying stare, and there she was, Stella Garcia, secretary of my dad.

"How many times did I already tell you to call me Ms. Isnia?" I said and sipped from a cup of coffee.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Isnia. But there was something urgent," sabi niya habang nakayuko.

I sighed and sipped again.

"And?"

She continued what she was saying and when she said that name, my world stopped.

Napatigil ako at ang alam ko, nabitawan ko ang baso na may mainit na kape. I saw Stella running towards me and I know, she's asking me if I'm okay.

Wala na akong pakialam. Wala na akong naramdaman simula nang marinig ko ang pangalan na yun.

I immediately got out of the office to go where he is.

Kung nasaan ang taong nagdulot ng paghihirap at sakit sa aking buhay, pati na rin sa aking puso.

At saksi ang kape sa lahat ng iyon.
