1 PROLOGUE

Its another typical day at work. Attending meetings, appointments, new projects, and of course new problems that I need to face.

"Architect Olivarez," My brother entered my Office. Wearing a black dress shirt tucked in his faded pants. I looked at him, and raised a brow. "You're so grumpy. You look like a shit." I glared at him. How could he say that to his beautiful sister?!

"Anong pinunta mo dito?" I asked. He seated on my couch and put his feet on the top of my mini table. This asshole look so arrogant, parang siya.

"I'm here to piss you off," I glared at him again and throw him a tissue, he managed to dodge it. "Mom said, you'll attend your last meeting today." My brows creased. Akala ko tapos na lahat ng meetings ko? My gosh, I attended four meetings today, Can I have a break?

"Hindi ba pwedeng bukas na 'yan?" I asked and massaged my temple. "I'm so fucking exhausted."

"Halata nga, but she said you need to finish that, or else hindi daw dadating yung designer bag na binili niya sa Paris."

I looked at him with big eyes, "Did she just blackmailed me?" I was waiting that bag for one month! "Okay, fine. I'll attend that meeting. What is it all about? And what time?" I asked and sipped on my smoothie.

"Bakit hindi mo alam?"

"Malay ko ba!"

"Malay ko ba!" He mocked me.

"Ano nga kasi!"

"It's a new project for your house, mamayang three, my gosh." He mocked me again. He stood up and looked at me. "You should fix yourself, you look like a shit. Hindi pwedeng ganyan ang itsura mo 'pag nakita mo siya." Shit na naman? Paulit-ulit? Do I look bad already? My gosh.

"What?"

"You look like a shit," He exclaimed again.

"No, the last one!"

"I didn't say anything."

I shrugged. Pero, he uttered a word! That asshole! I sipped on my smoothie again and think about my house. I forgot! Nagpapa-gawa pala ako ng bahay, sa sobrang dami kong ginagawa nakalimutan ko na ang bahay ko! Actually its my dream house, with someone. But now, its my dream house only, only my dream house, and not with someone.

I stood up and brought my makeup kit inside the restroom, so I can retouch my self. I looked at the mirror, okay pa naman, so far. Hindi naman ako tinubuan ng pimples at wala akong eyebags! I retouched myself with powder, cheek tint and lip tint. I dont use lipstick, minsan lang siguro if uma-attend ng big events.

I comb my wavy hair, and tied it in a half, and let my side bangs fall down beside my face. Hindi ako sanay sa mahabang buhok dahil short hair naman talaga ako dati, kaso may naalala ako pag short hair ako kaya 'wag na lang. Memories bring back memories, bring back you.

Umalis din naman ako ng restroom at nag-tungo sa isang mall para kumain at mag window shopping, hindi naman ako pala-gastos. Minsan lang naman.

Nag-tagal ako sa mall ng dalawang oras, nilibang ko ang sarili ko kaya napa-bili na rin ako ng ibang damit at sapatos. Minsan nga lang e!

Bumalik ako ng Company and fixed myself again dahil nasa conference room na ang mga engineers na kasama ko sa paggawa ng bahay ko. Since I'm an Architect, ako na lang din ang magde-design ng bahay.

I walked gracefully towards the Conference room, the employees looked at me with awe, tanging ang tunog ng heels ko ang naririnig. As soon as I reached tge conference room, my eyed automatically looked at the guy wearing a navy blue dress shirt, sleeves folded above his elbow, wearing an I.D and holding a folder.

He looked at me intently, I raised a brow. I calmly seated on the chair in front of them.

"Good day, Architect Olivarez." I looked at the other Engineer, oh. Magka-kasama pa din sila hanggang ngayon?

"Good day, Engineer Valino." He smiled at me and looked at the other Engineer. Siniko niya ito, kaya napa-tingin ito sa kaniya bago ibinaling ang tingin sa akin.

"Good Afternoon, Architect Olivarez." He greeted with a formal tone. I raised my chin up and smiled at him.

"Good Afternoon, Engineer Demarco." I greeted. I smiled bitterly as memories flashed back on my mind.

It's been five years, Engineer Demarco. Hanggang ngayon, ikaw pa rin.
