CHAPTER 1 This is the first time in my life that i saw someone who will love me deeply, i thought it last forever, i thought i could be his number one and that he will share the rest of his life with be, but then again i only THOUGHT that because it's just like a dream, he appeared one night and then the other night he's gone. He left me, i lost, it's like i run in a competition but i didn't won the race, i lost the game, i am the loser, he won, he reach his goal, i will forever regret that i gave everything, i hate me for being selfless when it comes to him, i didn't love enough because i am not enough. but i wish that one day, someone will love me the way i wanted to be love, to be treated, to be happy, contented and most importanly someone that can give the love can bury the pain.. "hello" it's so early when someone interrupted my sleep gosh! "where are you? we have meeting!" he sounded mad. oh my gosh it's mav. I am damn late now because of hangover, gosh the hard liquor! i hate it, I'm just damn brokenhearted that's why i went to club last night, of course with friends. "I'm on my way there" i said and ended the call. I took a bath and went to the company just to be so damn guilty, i know my father will surely be mad at me, i am so nervous. Exactly 10 am when i entered our company, i walked naturally like before, like no one is here, i am so embarrass because for sure i am late! my gosh maverick I'm gonna kill you! "Good morning Ms. Lani" the elevator girl interrupted my meditation! I smiled and greeted her too, well in fact i am not in the mood, but i smiled everywhere and whenever an employees appear in my sight. When i am in the front of the door, i enhale a large amount of an air and exhale it to lessen my nervousness, i opened the door and smile and greet them a "Good morning everyone!" i said with my teeth revealed i simple rolled my eyes when i saw maverick quitely laughing at me at the side! ugh i hate him! but my eyes suddenly form hearts when i saw his seatmate! omg omg! he's so freaking hot! is he the investor? oh the famous business man huh? gosh i can definitely define him in three words! handsome,perfect and rich! oh my fabulous! hahaha! i can't wait to flirt with him! I didn't noticed that I'm staring at him, i just felt it when he arched his right brow like he was asking why I'm staring at him, he smirk and it stop my heart beat, oh my gosh! kill me now! "You can sit now ms." he said smiling at me, i felt that all of their eyes are on me so i just seated beside my father. "I'll talk to you later" my father whispered at me, i suddenly froze! char! I'm nervous in his way of saying that to me! We just discussed about the plan of my team in our new project in baguio city, we talked about this business proposal in our new investors and we didn't lost because he agreed! so fabulous! lunch time when i have time to check on maverick and punch him! he's so mean to me! Maverick is like my brother to me, we grew together because our father are bestfriends, but he said he didn't want me to be his bestfriend that's why when we were in highschool all of our batchmates thought that we were together but we didn't, i only see him as my older brother and i think he see me as his sister. "how was your trip?" he asked, pointing at my trip in baguio to checked our project there. "it's fine though tiring because of the long ride, that's why I'm late, I wanna have a long sleep." i lied though yes i checked the project but i don't wanna say to him that i am being fooled by someone! gosh i am so dumb that's why i went on club and invite my friends there. "i hope it will be successful" mav said. "yeah, i hope too" i replied. "you can do it" he said motivating me. "i know" i said in a low tone of voice. "i just didn't want to disappointed him again mav" He hugged me " it's okay to failed, that's part of your way there" i smiled because he understands me. I failed my father not in my studies but he didn't give his full trust on me when it comes for the company, he only thinks that i am a silverwoman b***h that got fooled lot of times, he knew everything about my past, and about my boys of course. Maverick and i talked about a lot of things, he asked me a lot and i answered him honestly, except the one, he didn't know that i got fooled, he didn't know that i am broken it will only disappoint him too. He also convincing me to talk to her, but i said that i don't have time, and he said he understand me 'it takes time' that's what he said and I'm thankful that i have him, maverick. After that talk i went in my office to do my papers and after my papers got done, I've got a call from my father. "Yes dad?" i answered. "if you're free now, go to my office." that's a command. "yeah, i almost done" "okay." he hang up I suddenly became sad, that's my father he didn't want me to fail, i sigh because of sadness. I went in of his office and saw him with his secretary discussing whatsoever thing, they stopped and his secretary went out, i know because they're whispering something to each other maybe he wants a privacy, ksh! "have a seat" he said as cold as he is. "what is it?" i asked, i didn't want to die here at an early age! joke! hahaha i just felt so nervous i think he will scold at me ksh! "she called at me and she wants you to talk to her" he said. Ugh! why do all people wants me to talk to her!? when in fact that i am not yet ready! they should have a patience because i am the one who will decide whether i want to talk to my mother or never talk to her again! "but i am not yet ready dad you know that" i sigh "then when?" when you will be ready huh?" he said starting to get annoyed. "i will talk to her whenever i want." "just make sure you will." and i know that this is the ending of he was saying 'talk' he didn't even bother to ask me if I'm okay! And I'm not wrong because that was the end of our talking, i went to the mansion after that since i am not staying there anymore because i have my own condo, though i considered that as a visit. "nanny eloida! I'm here your baby lania" i shouted in a happy tone "oh, lania baby, how are you?" atleast my nanny cared for me i said in mind. "I'm good, how's this house? isn't a little boring here? hm nanny?" " a little baby because you are not around." " ah, I'm so touched nanny come here hug me hahaha" After i checked on my nanny and of course the mansion that no family members are living! so fabulous! i went to my condo and think about the handsome man earlier in the meeting, he's so handsome, has a perfect body, and fine attitude, that's what i like! my gosh lani! your nanny will be upset because you're so easy to get! ksh! "but he didn't court me? why would i be easy to get? i only have a crush on him starting this day!" hahahaha yeah fabulous i took a bath and do my skin routine and went to bed just to think of him again! it's so fine to like him? is it possible that he will like me back? can't be! I'll be dead! but i really want him! i think it is called 'love at first sight' ksh! lani! you're being so unbelievable! THE NEXT DAY Thursday morning when i got a call again, i reach my phone on the side just to see that it is a new number. 'it is so often that i am getting a call earlier in the morning huh?' "Lani, my girl can we talk?" a familiar voice asked. "I'm not yet ready, maybe next time." i ended up the call and sigh, tears suddenly fell on my cheeks, I'm quietly crying. i went out of bed and took a bath to relax my body, i am in the bathtub when suddenly a bad memories appeared in my head again, i cried so hard to lessen the pain but it didn't. 8 am when i got park in the parking space of our company, it is in the back of the building so i have time here to cry again. "oh my gosh noelani! you look so upset!" talked to my self in the mirror. i wiped my tears and put my make up again to hide my pain, that's what all i can do to make my self free from the past. I went inside the building, when i entered the first glass door i stopped and look around just to see no one, i look at my watch it is already 8:30 they should have here now! oh my gosh i didn't even noticed that my car is the only car in the parking space! and even the guards is not here! what the hell is happening now!? My thoughts suddenly stopped when someone put handkerchief or whatsoever thing in my eyes just to cover it, my mouth form an 'o' "oh my gosh! is this kidnapping? oh my gosh oh my gosh, please someone help me!" i yelled i heard someone smirking behind me, oh the one that putted this in my eyes! who are you?! I'm gonna kill you once i get away from this! my goodness, what's this all about?! gosh I'm getting annoyed, real pissed off. "this is not kidnapping ms., this will make you more cry" he whispered in my ear "wha-- what!? are you a stalker, spy or something? i am not crying!" "okay, is that so? now are you ready?" he said sarcastically. "what's this all about!? are you going to kidnapp me? a-nd ask my father for a ransom? oh come on! he will not give you that damn ransom! because he doesn't care for me!" "shh, just step forward, you're being too loud" he said like not interested at all. I step forward and he guide me with his hand on my arm. I suddenly stopped and think, i felt that he stopped too because of me, 'is he a handsome business man?' oh my gosh lani can't be! he sounded like him! "a-ah by the way,who are you?" i asked and he laugh! "okay just forget what I've said." "I'm braylon, your business partner, someone ask me to do this, because that someone saw me earlier alone so he ask if i have something urgent to do and i said nothing, that is why i am doing this and besides i can't refused so.. i just agree" "wa-it what? you're braylon? oh my gosh! why are you doing this!? a-re you? do y-ou want me?" oh my gosh why did i said that!? ugh can't be! He laugh so hard like there's no tomorrow again! ugh I'm so embarrass! kill me kill me!!! "don't assume ms. herrera, as I've said someone saw me walking alone there and ask me to participate in this so i agree because i don't have a choice, isn't that clear to you, should i elaborate it ms. herrera?" "ah yeah.. i mean it's fine, sorry " i replied in a low low tone of voice, feel so embarrassed! "but you're not hard to like, it's easy to like you i guess, but i do have a girlfriend ms.herrera" oh my gosh i almost died because of that, suddenly heart attack! cause of death 'because his crush confess to her that he already have a girlfriend' yeah probably YES!! did i just heard that my crush starting from today is is is what the hell!? he has a girlfriend! I'm dumb founded! i didn't thought that it would be possible because of his perfect aura! "ah- hahahahaha! I'm just kidding you know?" i said out of embarrassment. "okay if you said so, just keep walking." I keep walking and heard lot of voice singing a "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday happy to you birthday to you happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday to you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANI!!! I putted out the cover in my eyes and i cried because of happiness! tears of joy! haha, mav went to me and hug me he kissed my cheeks. "Happy Birthday lani, love you!" he greeted me smiling so brightly. "ah I'm so touched, thanks mav whom idea is this?" i replied "well, this is my idea, since i know that you didn't want a big party i hope it is fine for you, atleast celebrating with your employees and of course with me, and including mr. Hemson" "braylon?" i asked "yeah, i asked him to lead you here" he turned to my back and talk to braylon, "by the way bro. thanks!" "Happy to help mr. verdoza" braylon replied "You should thank him too lani" he turned to me and said that "ah yeah, thanks mr. Hemson" i sincerely said. "no worries, ahm by the way i have to go to mr. Herrera's office now" "my dad?" i asked "yeah, we have something to talk to" he replied "okay, thanks again" i said. he simply smile and left us "so let's eat?" mav said to get my attention because i am staring at braylon "yeah, hey yasmin and all of you let's eat!" i said in our employees. "so have you talked to her? she got your number in me" mav said "ah is that so? so you're the one that gives my number to her? mav you know that i am not yet ready to talk to her" "yeah i know, but she said she only wants to talk to you to greet you, because lots of your birthdays passed that she didn't had guts to greet you" "If she really wants to greet me on my past birthdays, she should have come to her home and celebrate with me" i said "I'm sorry lani, i understand you, sorry" he apologize "No it's fine mav, you don't have to be sorry" i smiled to assure him After we ate, we left that office clean to go back at work, mav said that my father knows this celebration. After the work i went shopping just to give gift to my self, my father send me message and he said he can't greet me in person because he is in tagaytay doing some works there, he even send his gift in my condo when i went there. I got a lot of greetings from my friends on social media, and text but the only one that i am waiting for is the greet of my family, my parents. Indeed that my mother wants to say sorry to me, she tried so many times but i always refused, because she didn't come home and talk to me personally that's what i want because i want to see her and hug her and cry with her, she have a new family in taiwan, she was married with another man that she found there when she was working as a domestic helper when i was 4 years old, they got divorced of my father when i was in pre-school, i didn't understand that because i was to young back then and when i became a teenager my father being honest with me, he said that my mother gone abroad just to support our needs but suddenly fell in love with his boss, and being married and have a new family, she went to philippines when i was 14 and asked me to go with her in taiwan, she didn't even said sorry to me that time, i refused her offer because i love my father, i know his sacrifices that's why now we have our own business, and now that i am happy my mother still wants me to be with her and left my father, i didn't knew the whole story of my parents because my father only tells me that my mother left me and have an affair, that's all i know since then. "I wish i can say to the world, i have the best mother" i uttered and cried quietly.
