AFTER eight years... “Sir Knives, nai-close na natin ang deal with Thompson Group. Our next client is from K Fashion Company. They want to build a branch here in the Philippines and they chose Grayson Construction to handle the project,” ani Liam habang panay ang pagpindot sa ipad na hawak. “K Fashion? The famous fashion company in Japan and America?" paniniguro ni Knives habang nakatutok ang mga mata sa laptop. “Yes, Sir,” ani Liam. “May schedule na ba ang appointment?” “Yes, Sir. The luncheon meeting is at Victoria's Restaurant, at exactly 12 PM.” “Okay, ikaw na ang um-attend, Liam. Mommy's death anniversary is tomorrow so I have to visit the cemetery,” ani Knives habang panay ang tipa. Tinatapos kasi niya ang output my blueprint para sa isang project. “Okay, Sir.” “By the way, mag-post ka ng job opening sa website natin. We need engineers, architects, and other skilled workers in the company. We need more people for incoming projects.” “Alright, Sir Knives,” sago

“Okāsan, kare wa dare? (Mom, who is he?” inosenteng tanong ng kanyang 7 years old na anak ni Kaiser habang nakatingin kay Knives at nakasimangot. Samantalang si Kaori naman ay tahimik lang habang nakikinig sa mga ito. Kumabog nang husto ang dibdib ni Keiko ng mga sandaling iyon—ang makita ng kambal ang kanilang daddy. Hindi pa siya handa na mangyari iyon at hindi pa n'ya alam kung paano ipapaliwanag ang totoo sa mga anak. Kaiser and Kaori are fraternal twins and are 7 years old. Kaiser looks exactly like Knives and Kaori is a little version of her. Alam niyang may karapatan si Knives na malaman ang totoo lalo pa't alam niyang magtataka ito dahil kamukha nito si Kaiser. Pero sa t'wing naaalala n'ya kung paano siya niloko at sinaktan nito noon, ay mas nananaig ang kanyang galit sa lalaki. Pinagdudahan siya ni Knives at inisip na sa ibang lalaki ang batang ipinagbubuntis n'ya. And then what? Bigla itong magpapaka-ama matapos nitong makita na kamukha nito ang anak n'ya? No way! “Sā

“HI. I'm Knives Grayson. The owner and CEO of Grayson Construction. How about you?”Hindi kaagad nakapagsalita si Keiko nang makitang si Knives ang nakatayo sa kanyang harapan. Pero makalipas ang ilang segundong pagkabigla ay nagbalik siya sa tamang wisyo.“You?” nakasimangot niyang turan. Hindi n'ya inabot ang kamay nito at sa halip ay pinagtaasan n'ya ito ng kilay.Pero gayunpaman, aaminin ni Keiko na matinding kaba ang nararamdaman n'ya habang nakaharap ang lalaking minsan niyang minahal at ama ng kanyang mga anak.“Yes, it's me,” nakangising sagot naman ni Knives sabay bawi ng palad na hindi naman pinansin ng babae. “I'm here for a meeting with Grayson Construction. Baka nagkakamali ka ng babaeng ka-meet, Mr. Dawson,” pagtataray ni Keiko. She was no longer the Lalaine she used to be, like a poor kitten terrified of the man in front of her. “Then I am the person you're looking for, Ms. Inoue,” nakangiting tugon ni Knives sabay abot ng bouquet ng white Daisy. “Here. Alam kong gust

“MS. KEIKO, nag-send na ng blueprint ang Grayson Construction. Ipinadala ko na po sa email ninyo,” anang assistant ni Keiko na si Aaliyah. Because the K Fashion building was still under construction, Keiko temporarily bought a three-storey building to use as an office, six months ago before she returned to the Philippines.Tumango naman siya. “Okay, I'll just check later.”While busy drawing drafts for a clothing design she plans to sell this summer, a call on the intercom interrupted what she was doing. Sinagot n'ya iyon habang panay ng guhit ng libreng kamay. “Yes, Aaliyah?” tanong n'ya sa kabilang linya.“Ms. Keiko, there is a woman looking for you at the reception. Her name is Abby Del Rosario,” anang assistant n'ya sa kabilang linya ng intercom.Awtomatikong naihinto ni Keiko ang ginagawa nang marinig ang pangalan ng best friend. Kumabog ang kanyang dibdib dahil hindi maganda ang kutob n'ya ng mga oras na 'yon. Balak na n'ya na talagang puntahan ang best friend pero dahil nagka
