From the moment his eyes laid upon her, she has started running in his mind. Curiosity must have killed the cat, but the desire to know her more drove him to uncover a myriad of secrets... Until he finally understood-- She's a lost soul chained to her past, nursing a broken heart... While he is just a mere spectator of it all... ...watching... wanting to reach out... From a distance. ==== This is a REACTION STORY to cursingfaeri's Miss Astig.

Pagbabago. Lahat ng tao hangad ang pagbabago. Pero bakit nga ba tayo naghahangad magbago? Para ba sa sarili? O para sa ibang tao? Kaya ba nag-iiba ang tao dahil ginusto nito? O dahil sa iyon ang nararapat. Sabi nga nila, ang buhay ay isang malaking hamon. At ang buhay ko? Siyempre inuulan ng pagsubok. Pagsubok na susukat, magpapatibay at sa akin bilang isang indibidwal. Mahirap makisama, mahirap makisalamuha. Sa kadahilanang ito, ang pagbabago ang naging sandigan ko. Kailangan kong ibahin ang sarili ko. Para sa sarili ko, para sa mga taong nakapaligid sakin, at upang ma-inda ang lahat ng ibinubuhos ng buhay. Ngunit hanggang saan ang kaya kong baguhin? Ano ang mga bagay na kaya kong isakripisyo? Kaya ko bang ikaila ang sarili ko para lang tanggapin ng mundo? Ng mga tao? Upang makamit ang sinasabing pagbabago? Pipilitin ko pa rin bang magbago? Kahit na ang kapalit nito ay hindi ko na makilala… ...ang tunay na ako? Isa lang ang sigurado. Lalaki talaga ako. Promise!

Itong "The Proxy Dad" ang naging bunga ng mahabang pakikipagdiskusyon at debate at syempre tawanan sa aking mga kapwa authors, na aking mga naging kasangga sa pagbuo ng "The Proxy Wife." Shet, nosebleed. So sa makatuwid ay ito ang Book 2 ng "The Proxy Wife," di naman ako masyadong mahilig sa 'Proxy' no? Ang sequel na nakakabaliw..chos. At dahil isa rin akong dakilang spoiler, di ko po ipupublish as public ang magiging BS, kaya pasensya na. Ayokong maging rated [R] Restricted ang book na ito. (choosy pa eh no?) So sorry po sa hindi fans? Meron ba? hahaha.. :* Kung nabasa niyo ang naunang book, wag sana syang ikumpara dito. Maraming Salamat. Hehe. :D ---------------------------- No Soft copies. wyngardium_leviosa © 2012

"Honestly, I don't have much to offer. I'm just a typical random guy who was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Ang hirap palang magmahal ng taong matagal mong iniwasan. Bakit kasi walang early warning device ang puso para masabi agad na malapit ka na sa brink of falling in love? Para sana pwede pang mag-back out. Hindi 'yung huli na--yung kahit anong pilit mong ikubli 'yung nararamdaman mo, masyado nang matindi. Kung baga sa sakit, nasa terminal stage na pala." -Clementine Tongco "This must be the dumbest move I've done in my entire existence. How can I not know it? How could I not recognize what I really feel for her? Now it's too late.
