Prologue

We always loved the idea of having been able to go through life easily. Be born, be raised as a happy child, be adventurous during teenage years, figure out where you're good at in your young adulthood phase, land your dream job, earn a ridiculous amount of money, get married, and lead a great parenting life when you reach the peak of your adulthood. For some, this is what self actualization means as illustrated in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I’ve seen people reach this milestone when they turn 30. Me? Well I’m still pretty famous for my age. My status? I have no intention to figure it out anymore. Was I married? Did I get a divorce? To whom have I been building a house for?

Andrew was standing in front of his unfinished glass house in the middle of a mountainous land in the Rizal Area in a misty Sunday morning of May 8, 2030. He just turned 30. He had enough of almost everything a 30 year old man could have but there he was, standing cold while thinking how he should finish the house he was building for the last five years."Isn't it better if you just sell the place?"Richard spoke."Why do I feel that you're giving up on something you haven’t started just yet?"Andrew smiled weakly."I mean it had been five long years and I guess it's taking you so long to decide for its final look"Andrew caressed his chin, smiled."I think I should get an architect. A new one..... and maybe, a new civil engineer too."Richard took a gulp of his own saliva, shivered while looking at Andrew with eyes almost popping out."Hey Jonathan don't you ever think of doing that! Don't you ever-""Think

Many teeangers were huge fans of the characters led by the famous Andrew Cortez as Jonathan Castro  and teenage in-demand model turned actress Zoey Montes as Hailey Dela Cruz With the whole crew having problems with Zoey's contract, the director suggested to push with the people's demand for another season."We will distract the viewers.

May 9 of 2030 came in and Andrew, as he had always been for the last five years, woke up with a hangover. But that day, he woke up with the ID card in his hands kept safe in his chest.

He decided he could use a morning walk to sober up. Just as when he opened his front door, "Hi! Mr.... Cortez?" A woman wearing black polo in a pencil s
