Aqua's POV

"Sam, what're my appointments for today?" I asked Sam, my manager, my best friend.

"Pretty chill naman ang sched mo ngayon. Just a photoshoot for the front page of the December magazine. And then congrats nga pala sa latest mag mo! Top selling again! You're famous na ha."

I chuckled. "Thanks."

"Wala ka na ba talagang planong bumalik sa Pilipinas? I'm sure your family is worried."

"I lived by myself for ten whole years, Sam. I learned how to live independently. But I probably will visit them someday but go back as soon as possible."

She sighed. "You're hopeless."

Sampung taon na ako rito sa Canada.

The first two years, I lived with Sam, the kind person who let me live with her, because I am still not legal to live by myself and I didn't have money as well.

I had to work and stop schooling.

I don't think I regret anything.

I like the way things turned out.

I have a job, a model to be specific.

I am twenty-six, and I am financially stable.

My life is here, at Canada.

Everything is great.

Just... great.

I was on the way to get my car when a Bugatti pulled over.

"Heyy, Zien. Uh wait, how do you say that again- sabay na tayo sa work..? Was that correct?" I chuckled.

"Jaczon Yriel Walker, where did you get those words?" I said and opened the door of the shotgun seat and went in.

He snorted. "There goes my full name.
Sammie taught me, by the way. Hey Sammie!" He greeted Sam na papasok na rin sa kotse ni Jariel.

"Hey Sammie your a*s! I'm your Ate sh*t head"

Jariel is the little brother of Sam. He's a model too. Nagkaka partner kami from time to time, and he's issued as my 'secret boyfriend' as well.

Sa sobrang secret, kahit ako hindi ko alam, tss.

Media. Andaming nalalaman sa buhay.

He's a photographer too. He takes really good photos. He's my photographer pag biglang nag absent yung photographer ko.

"New Bugatti? Looks sweeet!" I complimented.

"Ako pa. Magaling kaya ako sa.. erm- ugh I give up. It's so hirap to speak tagalog."

"You sound so conyo, just speak in English, dimwit." Yes, kapatid nga sya ni Sam pero magkahiwalay silang lumaki. Sam was raised in the Philippines while Jariel has been here his whole life.

He pouted. "I'm trying to impress youuu!"

"You're being childish Jariel!" Sigaw ng ate nya mula sa likod. Kalamo naman e anlayo layo. "Saka hindi ka type nyang si Zien, blee!" Bumelat pa sya sa kapatid.

Napa ngiwi si Jariel. "I really have to learn Tagalog. I don't even understand what you just said but I know that you were insulting me, Ate"

"I wasn't insulting you! I said, you're not Zien's type." Walang preno nyang saad.

Agad akong napa tingin sa reaksyon ni Jariel.

He's pouting, of course.

"I'm not your type??" Nagpa awa pa ang loko.
