Ang tatlong mabibigat na katangian ng isang taong nasa pinakatuktok ng mundo ay mayroon ang nag-iisang anak ng economic contributor ng isang bansa. No one believes that his comfortable life is actually the opposite. Raphael Rivera Mondragon (Raffy) is the only child of Megallodon Consort Company owner also known as MC Group of Company. This is one of the largest and influencial Shipping Company worldwide. Though Raphael is the only heir, he took the step of his Police uncle, the bestfriend of his father. He was not interested in business since then reason why his father hate him so much but love him secretly. He became a cop for 3 years and promoted as Leutinant because of his excellent job and dedication to his work. His identity as an heir son was hide due to some threat to his life. His father never give up on convincing him to study business since he needs to take over the company and the position of his father as a CEO. Fortunately, he was convinced by his uncle. After another 4 years, he got the diploma for Business Management. He was trained as a CEO in 1 year before he formally owned his father's company and officially became the heir. But one planned tragedy happened. "Call my dad, Lenard!" . His voice is hopeless and weak. Raphael is sitting on the sofa of his wide room. His face is calm but full of worries. Nakatayo lang si Lenard sa kung saan siya napatigil nang pumasok siya sa kwarto ni Raphael. Lenard is now speechless while looking at Raphael with blood stain in his shirt. Kasabay nun ang pagsalin-salin ng kanyang mga tingin sa direksyon ni Raphael at sa nakahigang si Lorence. The bloods in Raphael's bed, the corpse of Lorence and the gun beside him made his whole body became numb. "Lenard!, I said call my dad!" Raphael shouted with full of anger to Lenard when he noticed the unresponsive action of his secretary. Raphael can't think anything at the moment. The only thing he know is he needs his father. He never asked help to his only parent before but he can't believe that the only person he is thinking right now to save him from this disgrace , is his father. No other choice, kahit sarili niya hindi niya matutulungan ngayon. Saka na natauhan si Lenard nang makarinig siya ng sigaw mula ki Raphael. Agad niyang hinablot ang cellphone sa kanyang bulsa at nagdial ng number ni Henry Mondragon. Only silence that sorrounds them at Raphael's luxurious bedroom the whole time na hinihintay nila ang kanyang ama. And Raphael is now thinking deeply on what will be the right thing to do nang mahimasmasan na. "No Raphael, hindi ako papayag na masira ang image mo, ng kompanya, ng pamilya natin, we will cover up this incident!" Ang wika ng ama nitong si Henry matapos niyang isalaysay ang mga pangyayari. "No dad,," "Let the world know what the murderer created" . Raphael is now ready to face the risky situation. "What do you mean?!" Henry was curious. "The aim of the real culprit is to destroy my image. I will use his desire to catch him". Raffy said with determination to the plan he already created in his mind. Henry didn't answer showing that he don't like what Raphael's plan. It will be dangerous to his son. "Dad, please trust me!", he said at hinarap ang kanyang amang nakatayo sa harap niya. Hinawakan ang dalawang braso to please. He looked him like he is saying please do me a favor. "This is the time that i need your cooperation, please believe me, i can do it!" Raphael continued. It takes a second before nag-agree ang kanyang ama. "O sige, I will call your tito Herman,but please Raphael, take care of yourself!" He said with calm voice at sinimulang tawagan ang Ninong ni Raphael to start the plan. Kasabay ng kasalukuyang pag-uusap ni Henry sa kabilang linya ay ang biglang paglaho ng kanyang anak sa paningin niya. Tanging kurtina ng slide door ng terrace na patuloy na ginagalaw ng hangin ang nanatili. Dito niya huling nakita ang imahe ng kanyang nag-iisang anak. Henry finally accepted the reality that his son escaped from the terrace of his bedroom to start the invented scenario. Raphael, Lenard, Don Henry Mondragon and his father's bestfriend, a Chief of Police Herman Hernandez decided to keep Raphael as wanted until they will find out who framed him. _____________________________________________ Sa pagtatago ni Raphael napadpad siya sa isang apartment na medyo malapit lang sa kompanya... He was a cop after all, he decided na ipahanap sa secretary niya ang pinakamalapit na hideout or a place na unexpected na pagtataguan niya. Sabi nga nila, kung magtatago ka ng pera, wag dun sa nakatago masyado dahil doon hahanapin ng magnanakaw, instead, sa surface area which is hindi expected na makikita. Risky dahil hindi din sigurado kung hanggang saan ang takbo ng utak ng kalaban but Raphael always believe in his laws of thought. He decided to stay near the company para nadin mas madali niyang mamanmanan ang possible real culprit at mas madaling makahanap ng ibedinsya. Maraming dahilan kasi na nasa kompanya lang ang may kagagawan ng lahat. Nagpagawa nadin siya ng fake identities sa tulong ng kanyang mga connections. A man in black leather jacket na naka cap with a black mask ay pumasok sa isang mamahaling sasakyan. "Nawithdraw mo naba lahat?" He is Raphael Mondragon talking to his secretary Lenard. "Yes sir, anjan nadin ang fake ids mo and everything is clean, no traces, buti na lang at naitago mo pa ang black card ng mommy mo, i didn't expect ganun kalaki ang laman". Lenard replied at inabot ang isang maliit na black bag. "Walang ibang inisip si mommy kung hindi ang kapakanan ko, maybe that was her reason para magsave ng ganito kalaki without knowing by my dad". Medyo nalungkot ang gwapo nitong mukha. "Sorry to mention your mom sir". Lenard said when he noticed the change of Raffy's facial expression. "Nakahanap ka naba ng hideout?". Raffy said instead of replying to the topic. "Unfortunately sir, isang apartment lang ang available na malapit sa company, check this". At inabot ang isang tablet. "Okay na to, nakatago at hindi sa highway, mataas din ang building, i need this kind of position". Ang wika nito habang nakatitig sa picture ng isang apartment. The long and big building ay mayroong sa palagay niya ay apat na floor. The style of the building is like L shape which the other portion occupies the front park of it. Nakacompound din ito para sa safety ng mga tenants. "Pero kung hindi pwede, maghahanap pa ako, baka may mabakanti sa iba, why not magbayad tayo ng isang tenant in exchange sa paglipat niya sa ibang apartment, i'm sure, maraming papayag niyan lalo na pag malaki". Said Lenard. " No need, makakadagdag lang tayo ng traces to the cats at makakapagbigay ng curiosity to anybody, we will try this apartment". Ang siguradong sagot niya. Para siyang hinihila ng katawan niya papunta sa lugar na iyon. He want to lie down his body na gusto nading magpahinga. "Ok sir,". Lenard replied. Dali-dali nading lumabas si Raffy sa sasakyan ni Lenard. Nang makalis ang sasakyan ng sekretarya ay saka niya napansin na sa isang cliff pala na puro mga damo sila nagkita ni Lenard. Hindi mo na siya umalis. Nakatitig lang siya sa napakalawak ng syudad ng Maynila. Napakagandang tingnan ang napakataas na Kompanya niya na siyang nagniningning sa lahat, napapalibutan ito ng mga lights galing sa iba-ibang mga buildings ng City. While inhaling the cool breeze of the air, he end up talking to his mind. "Kaya mo pala ako sinira....... because my company is a Giant Gold that you want to own? You're trying to steal my property. Kung sino kaman, i will never allow you to get what is mine, never, that's mine and forever mine". He said to his mind na may kasamang galit at paghahamon. _____________________________________________ Rowena Jane Gonzales (Yna), Mahinhin pero matalino at dyosa sa ganda. She is currently working sa company ni Raphael. Nursing sana ang kukuning course para susunod sana siya sa yapak ng kanyang ama na isang Surgeon Doctor but her father now is in coma after an accident. From a wealthy life, Yna's family became miserable and poor. So she decided to shift to another course na mababa lang ang tuition. After 1 year binigyan siya ng scholarship ng MC Group of Company as a help since his father is a former Family Doctor of Mondragon family at isa din sa dahilan kaya madali siyang nakapasok sa kompanya. Fortunately, She finished Business Marketing after a long sacrifices. Pero hindi parin nawala sa ang dream niya na maging isa ding doctor. Hindi niya alam papaano, pero she is into it no matter what. Since unang araw ni Yna sa trabaho at binigyan siya ng oras ng company sa kanyang paglipat, she decided to check the apartment na nereserve sa kanya ng may-ari na kaibigan din niya. Si Bea, isang true friend na hindi siya iniwan hanggang sa maging mahirap ang pamilya niya. This lady is a businesswoman kaya hindi sila palaging nagkikita ni Rowena dahil sa busy schedules nito. "Hello Bea," She smiled at her nang makasalubong ito sa hallway ng apartment malapit sa reception area. "Hello Yna", abot hanggang tainga din ang ngiti nito nang makita ang kaibigan. "Thank you talaga Bea ha at pinadiscount mo ako, don't worry pag may sweldo na ako magbabayad na ako ng buo". Then she laughed na lalong nagpaganda sa kanya. "Ok lang yun Yna, sige, kunin mo na lang yung susi sa reception area, may kailangan akong puntahan eh, di na kita matutulungan sa gamit mo ha". Bea slightly smiled to her. "Ok lang yun, subra-subra na yung discount", Yna smiled back to her true friend. Paalis na sana si Bea nang may lumapit na lalaking nakasuot ng black facemask na tinanggal din niya nang makaharap na sina Yna at Bea. Kahit nakatakip ang mukha nito kanina, halata parin ang kagwapuhan nito. He have a tantalizing eyes that every girl will be hypnotized kapag tinitigan niya ng matagal. He has a thick eyebrows na kapag nakakunot ay parang isang God of Devil na kahit sino ay mapapasunod nito. Napakakisig ang pangangatawan and he is tall. Sakto lang ang body figure nito, in short, physically perfect. Kaya parang napatunganga sina Yna and Bea when the Godly creature approached them. "Hi, sino sa inyo si Bea?" Hindi ngumingiting tanong ni Raffy. "Me, ano pong maipaglilingkod ko sir?" Bea answered him. "Apartment 45, pinareserve ito ng kaibigan ko kanina, pero sabi ng receptionist niyo kinancel ng may-ari ng building kasi may pinapasok na iba?" Ang pagpapaliwanag ni Raffy sa supladong tuno. Yna's POV: (Halaka, nagcancel si Bea para sakin?) "Ah yes sir, unfortunately, yung ipinalit ko kasi sa inyo is a very important person, Kaya kinancel ko yung reservation niyo, wala nadin kasing bakante and i'm helping a friend, anyway pwede naman po kayo maghanap ng ibang apartment" Ang mataray ding sagot ni Bea pero nakangiti ng may halong kaplastican. "No dito ko gusto, sa building nato, sa apartment nato, sa room nayun, i will double my rent, ako ang kukuha ng room" ang aroganting sabi ni Raffy. Mukhang hindi niya nakontrol ang attitude niya. Tsaka mas hindi naman siya mahahalata kung magdoduble pay siya kaysa magbayad ng tenant para umalis. Tsaka isa pa, nangibabaw ang pride niya. It is his first time na ereject ng isang small business na kagaya nun. Sanay lang talaga siya sa pang VIP Treatment kaya hindi niya matake na magpakumbaba at pagpasensyahan na lang. Mukhang nanlaki ang mata ni Bea, na ikinabahala ni Yna, kasi baka siya ang piliin ng kaibigan. Kaya galing sa pananahimik nagsalita nadin ito. Desperada talaga siya eh. "Ah excuse me sir, I am the very important person na tinutukoy niya, pero hindi naman siguro makatarungan yang suggestion niyo, hindi fair" ang medyo pataray na wika nito. " Its fair, costumer ako, this is business, now Ms. Owner, deal?" He said na parang lalong tumaas ang tuno ng pananalita. Hindi makasagot si Bea ng ilang segundo hanggang sa, wala na talaga siyang maisip, gusto niya yung double pay na offer ng lalaki pero ayaw niyang ebreak ang promise niya at paasahin ang kaibigan. Kaya gumana ang pagiging wais ni Bea. " Kung gusto niyo, kayo na lang dalawa sa apartment?" Then she smiled na parang may nakakalokang ngiti. Raffy: No, hindi pwede, i want and i need privacy. Yna: Lalo naman ako, Bea, babae ako hindi kami pwedeng magsama sa iisang bobong. "Then, you can back out miss". Raffy said nang walang alinlangan habang nakatingin ki Yna. "Ikaw dapat magback out sir,", she said while nakatingala sa lalaking matangkad. Hindi alam ni Yna kung my right ba talaga siya pero bahala na wala siyang pera, ang mamahal ng ibang apartment. "Isa lang ang solution dito, pasensya na kayo, kung hindi kayo papayag pareho, para fair, i will not going to accept you as my tenant, the room 45 is now closed, thank you". Akmang aalis na si Bea nang sabay sumagot si Raffy at Yna. Sinadya niyang gumamit ng reverse psychology approach. Sana umepekto sa kaartehan ng dalawa. Kailangan niyang mapapayag ang mga ito na magsama para labas na siya sa konsensya. "Okay na" sabay, Raffy and Yna. "Anong okay na?" Bea said at ibinaling ang atensyon sa dalawa. "Ako papayag na ako", Yna said. "Ako din", Raffy continued. Pumayag nadin siya kasi Pagod ng matulog kung saan-saan, ilang araw nadin kasi siyang palaboy laboy. Di naman kasi pwedeng mag check-in ito kasi nga wanted siya. Ang nangyari, since parehong desperado ang dalawa, silang dalawa ang kumuha ng kwarto kaya napilitan si Bea na gawing harang ang dalawang closet sa kwarto ng apartment since isa lang ang kwarto ng room and put another bed para maging for two ang room. Raffy and Yna were both desperate to get the room because they have no choice. Distance and affordability for Yna's reason and Distance and availability for Raffy.
