Jelly."Yeah. More beautiful. So, no need to be smug, right?" Larry."Of course, this is more beautiful. Hindi ito ang magiging finale dress kung hindi. Let's be very proud of the fruit of our labour." Olga.Natasha only smirks. For her, there's nothing to be angry about. After all, those people are praising the milktea design. That means, the praise directed to herself.Sania smugly laughed a little. She then said, "Of course, this is nice. But without Natasha's help, it won't appear in the crowd now.""Yeah, yeah. Thanks to Natasha. I wish Endi would know about it. I'm looking forward to Endi's comment." Roda said.The expression of the four de

Although she was the one who personally made the dress, she still couldn't believe that it was made with her own hands.Everyone's eyes sparkled like a diamond. The dress is very pleasing to the eyes. As if, ngayon lang sila nakakita ng ganoon kagandang damit sa mga fashion events na napupuntahan nila."Mrs. Tolentino, can you say something. This dress is very beautiful and very special. I and everyone want to know who is the designer of this very beautiful masterpiece.""Oh yes.

Ms. ShynThe world-famous Ms. Shyn nodded at Natasha.Natasha also nodded with a gentle smile. Of course, kilala niya ang naturang personalidad.Ms. Shyn is famous in the world of fashion. She is a world-renowned designer back then. Lahat ng nasa circle of fashion world ay tinitingala at kinikilala siya. She is also a gentle, humble and very passionate woman.

Tasyo's DeathNatasha graduation day should be the happiest day of her life. Ngunit isang trahedya ang nangyari sa araw din ng college graduation day niya.Napag-alaman nilang sinugod sa hospital ang kanyang Lolo Tasyo dahil sa pagtaas ng presyon nang dugo nito na ikina stroke nito nang wala man lang itong kasama sa bahay nila.Natasha rushed to the hospital with her grandmother Belinda, ngunit wala nang buhay ang Lolo niya ng dumating sila sa hospital.The doctor confirms the death on arrival ng matanda.The pair of grandmother and granddaughter cried hard after the doctor informed them about the death. Hindi nila akalain na sa isang saglit lang ay may buhay na biglang nawala."L-Lola... paano na tayo? Wala na si Lolo." Natasha cried hard in the arms of her grandmother."Tahan na apo ko. Hindi natin hawak ang buhay ng Lolo mo. Mahirap mang tanggapin ngunit kailangan nating magpakatatag sa buhay ngayong wala na siya sa piling natin." Naluluhang pang-aalo ng Lola ni Natasha sa kanya."
Stubborn HeartSa huling hantungan ay bumuhus muli ang mga luha ni Natasha at ng Lola Belinda nito. Sa huling hantungan ay dumalo rin ang unang anak ni Belinda sa unang asawa nito.Sa araw na iyon ay naroon rin si Grandpa Mario at ang anak at ang asawa nito upang ihatid si Tasyo sa huling hantungan.Halos naubos na ang mga luha ni Natasha sa palagiang pag-iyak niya. Tanggap na niyang wala na ang kanyang abuwelo na pinakamamahal. Hindi niya lang maiwasan ang sobrang malungkot dahil sa katotohanang hinding hindi na niya ito makikita, makakausap, makakatawanan, at makakasama sa loob ng bahay kailanman.When the funeral is finally over, Mario walks at Natasha's side. "Natnat, Liam is coming over. Siya ang magsusundo sa amin ngayon rito sa sementeryo."Natasha's heart skipped a beat when she heard that name.Of course, Natasha knew who Liam was. Liam is her greatest crush and her greatest love of her life. Bata pa lang ay may pagtatangi na siya para sa nagiisang Apo na lalaki ni Mario Came
Gifts 'Nat...'Biglang tumahip ng malakas ang dibdib ni Natasha sa pagtawag nito sa kanyang palayaw.Natasha's eyes unwillingly turned and glanced at Liam and she nodded slightly. "Hmm.""How are you? It's been 2 years since I saw you." tanong nito sa kanya na titig na titig sa kanyang mga mata.Natasha feel uncomfortable with the stares but she needs to stay calmed. Ngumiti siya rito ng bahagya at itinago niya sa kanyang likod ang nanginginig na mga kamay. "I'm fine." wika niya kahit pa alam niyang namumugto at namumula ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa huling sulyap niya sa kanyang Lolo Tasyo."Uh, I just learned that you already graduated in your Fashion Course. Congrats. Um, I prepared some gifts for you." wika nito saka inabot sa kanya ang isang mamahaling kahon na pahaba na kulay Asul.Matagal iyong tiningnan ni Natasha. Iniisip niyang tanggihan ang ibinigay nito sa kanya. Lalo at kitang kita na mamahaling alahas ang nasa loob niyon."Natnat, tanggapin mo ang ibinigay niyang gift p
Vicious WomanNatasha paid a visit to the Cameron Mansion that morning as Mario instructed her yesterday.Dinala agad siya ng katulong sa study room ni Mario kung nasaan ito naroon at hinihintay siya.After the housemaid knocked on the door, may nagbukas naman agad ng pinto mula sa loob. It was the personal butler of Mario, Siba."Uncle Siba, good morning." pagbati rito ni Natasha."Natnat, pasok ka. Hinihinta ka na sa loob." Pagbigay alam rito ni Siba.Pumasok naman si Natasha at bigla rin siyang napasinghap dahil sa kanyang narinig na malalakas na boses."Sa ayaw at sa gusto mo, pakakasalan mo siya!" boses iyon ni Mario sa malakas na tinig."I won't marry her. Never!" boses naman iyon ni Liam.Napalunok si Natasha sa kanyang naririnig. May kutob siya na tungkol iyon sa napagusapan nila ng lola Belinda niya kagabi ang kanyang naririnig."You have no right to refuse my decision. Sinabi ko na sa 'yo ang dahilan. Please, accept your fate. Marry her and everything will be fine.""That is
Grant Your WishesLiam pursed his lips, and still, he was very angry while staring in Natasha's direction."Grandpa, is your heart ached because I accuse her like this? Hindi mo ba naisip na nasasaktan rin ako at nagagalit sa 'yo dahil mas siya pa ang kakampihan mo? Hindi mo ba naiisip ang nararamdaman ko? Why are you so very unfair? Noon pa man si Natasha na ang palagi mong nakikitang tama at ako palagi ang mali at masama!"Mario instantly feels guilty about his grandson's words. Bumuntong hininga siya at tumingin sa galit na mga mata ni Liam."Apo, you already know what my reason is right? Kung hindi dahil sa Lolo ni Natasha, wala na ako sa mundong ito noon pa man. Kung hindi dahil kay Tasyo noon, walang Mathias at walang ikaw sa mundong ito ngayon."Liam narrowed his eyes. Alam niya ang kwentong iyon noong bata pa man siya. Of course, he was very grateful to Natasha's grandfather. Ngunit hindi niya akalain na sa bandang huli ay siya pala ang magbabayad ng utang na loob ng abuelo ni

Drop Dead GorgeousThe D.L. fashion event that night has 4 sets of dressing climate seasons, which are spring, summer, fall, and winter.Nauna ang winter with 5 kinds of beautiful dresses. Sumunod naman ang spring na hindi nalalayo sa dress code ng summer.When the two sets are done, hindi agad isinunod ang dalawang set.Davis and Rahna invited some famous singers and dancers from the entertainment industry.When the famous celebrities are done with their performance, sumunod naman ang isang set ng dress which is the fall season.Like the winter and spring, ipinakilala rin ng emcee ang bawat dress lahat and who is the designer behind it.When Natasha Diaz's purple dress came out, everyone was surprised with the beautiful dress she made. Everyone murmurs that the dress is very pleasing to the eyes. Bagay na bagay iyon sa sikat na modelo. Saktong sakto rin iyon sa katawan ng modelo.Natasha was pleased. Lalo na ng makita niyang pumalakpak ang kanyang in-laws at grandpa Mario ng marinig
Fashion 1Natasha, Sania and Roda have a smooth weekday in the company since Natasha showed up and successfully helped Olga's group with the problem they can't solve.Also, since that day, Rahna stands for Natasha, and no one dares openly bully Natasha.Rahna also expressed her disappointment for mistreating her favourite employee.Aside from that, they're all afraid of offending a person they cannot afford to offend. Also, they are afraid of losing their job in such an outstanding fashion company.Starting that day, Natasha became a hot topic. Everyone was slowly becoming nice to her, except for those people who could not easily accept defeat.Katulad na lang ni Olga at Jelly. The two of them are still afraid or triggered by Natasha's capabilities. They're afraid Natasha will surpass them in the near future.Finally, the fashion events arrive. Excited ang lahat. Lalo na ang mga empleyado ng D.L.Rahna and Davis were more excited, to think nasa special list nila ang Milktea ni Endi na
BiasedEveryone was embarrassed. Napayuko silang lahat sa isiniwalat ni Rahna.Rahna steps forward to Natasha's side. "Thank you for helping, Nat. Please, don't take their words to heart, okay?" Rahna speaks like she's doting to her younger sister. The affectionate tone was evident.Natasha obediently nodded. "Don't worry. I'm not that so petty, ma'am.""Good, good. You are so very kind, Nat." Rahna said smiling.Everyone saw how good the big boss to Natasha. Kahit ng una pa man. That's why, some of them attacking silently Natasha on her back but Natasha didn't take them seriously. She turned blind eye dahil wala talaga itong plano na patulan ang mga tao na hanggang parinig lang sa kanya.Natasha's personality is that as long as they don't harm her, she will not reciprocate.Even though some of Natasha's colleagues ignoring her, or talk trash of her but Natasha has a way to shine. Katulad na lang ng sandaling iyon. Ang hindi nagawang maresolba ng top designer ay siya ang nakagawa.For
SurpassedRahna nodded. She wants to cheer her up but she holds back herself. "Go ahead."Olga gritted her teeth.Jelly's face turned ugly.Larry and Vina also looked unwilling.All of them were hesitant about Natasha. For them, Natasha is like an ant and very annoying.Ruby, also feels sour and cold. For her observation, Rahna is indulging Natasha and she was very wondering.Natasha slowly walks near the mannequin. She then reached out the paper, which is the original design of the milk tea dress, and looked at it a bit. Of course, alam na niya ang gagawin niya but it's only a show.After a minute of scanning the design, she put it down gently on the table. Then she seriously reached out the fabric and marker.Natasha folds the fabric very smoothly and she draws a pattern with the marker. Her expression was serious and smooth as if she knew what she was doing.After she finished the pattern, she grabbed the scissors and cut them very calmly.Everyone frowned. Their eyes are all at Nat
Be FairNatasha, Sania and Roda follow Mrs. Tolentino to the special work room.When Noel, the CEO's assistant, pushed open the door, Ruby, Olga, Jelly, Larry, and Vina were there facing the dress they were working on. It's a design of Endi."Good afternoon, Mrs. Tolentino," Ruby greeted Rahna. But then she frowned a bit when she saw Natasha with her team."Good afternoon, Ma'am." pagbati naman ng apat kay Rahna. Like Ruby, their expression turned a bit off.Rahna cleared her throat and not slightly. "Good afternoon." Then her eyes move to The Milktea dress.Lumapit roon si Rahna at tinitigan ang dress na nasa mannequin. Umikot pa ito upang masuri nito ng maigi.Natasha's eyes turned serious while staring at the beautiful dress.'Hmm, I'm quite satisfied. Tama lang na sila ang napili ni Ma'am Ruby na gawin ang design ko na iyon.'"Um, if all of you are wondering why I bring them here, I'd reach out for help. Let's see if they have some suggestions to help you since wala ring naibigay n
Reaching Out For HelpOn the 3rd week of the month, sinimulan na rin ni Natasha kasama si Sania at Roda ang pang tatlong dress design niya.Katulad ng nauna at pangalawa. Hindi na naman napigilan ng dalawa ang mamangha sa design ni Natasha. At that time, they didn't just praise Natasha's design but also Natasha."Wow..." Sania and Roda's eyes sparkled with admiration while staring at the design that Natasha showed them."This is superb." Sania."Magnificent." Roda.Natasha was satisfied with the compliment. Ngumiti siya ng bahagya habang nakatingin sa mga mukha ng mga ito."Natasha, is this really your design?" Sania asks like an idiot.Natasha frowned at the question. "Yup. It's mine.""Oh. You are brilliant, Nat." Sania."I can say, you have a very talented mind and hand, Nat." Roda praised her."Thank you girls." Ang tanging nasagot ni Natasha sa dalawa."Natasha, hindi ba ito ang finale mo na gagawin? Last na ba ito?" tanong ni Sania ng humarap ito sa kanya.Natasha nodded. "Yes, t
