Embracing my Serotonin

Chapter 1

Thick concrete wall with bunches of books piled up, scanning and looking for the books I need for the upcoming classes. I only have two weeks to prepare, and I'm not that kind of person who's too lazy to even prepare the needed things.

I'm in the middle of looking through the books on the second level of this mall book store when I see a proper woman reclining against the wall and intently perusing the book she's holding.

I can't help but to look at this beautiful creature, tangina tao ba to??  From her organize eye brow, long eyelashes, pointed nose and her thin red lips. This sight is too much to handle.

"Creep."

I was taken a back nang magsalita ito at isinara ang libro na hawak niya. Walang ganang tumingin ito sakin at tinaasan ako ng kilay.

I immediately avoid her stares at nagpanggap na hindi siya tinitingnan kanina. Kinuha ko na ang mga libro na nasa listahan ko. Isa nalang ang kulang. Tangina, mukhang ang taas pa.

I tiptoed a bit para maabot ito pero hindi talaga, masyado iyong mataas. Maabot ko na sana ito nang may maramdaman akong presensya sa likod ko at ganun nalang ang paglundag ko ng kunti dahil sa mga kamay nitong hindi sinadyang mahaplos ang kamay ko at kinuha ang librong hawak ko na.

"Poetic of Space? Interesting."

Tangina bakit ang lapit niya naman ata? Her alluring scent is distracting the house my nostrils. I was just staring to her serious face while she's scanning the book. Tumingin naman ito sakin at inabot ang libro ko.

Kukunin ko na sana ang libro sakanya nang bigla niya nalang tong binitawan sa mga daliri nitong mahahaba na ikinasanhi ng malakas na ingay dahil sa cover nitong makapal.

"I slipped."

I was stunned for a moment dahil bigla nalang itong dahan-dahang naglakad palayo sakin na hindi man lang ako nilingon. What the hell just happened?

Ilang minuto ko pang tiningnan ang dinaanan nito bago kinuha ang librong binitawan niya. Binabawi ko na ang iniisip ko kanina.

Ang sama ng ugali.

I stormed out after ko magbayad sa mga librong binili ko. Agad naman akong sumakay sa sasakyan na dala ko papunta bahay. I was thinking of that woman. The nerve to do that thing in front of me na parang wala man lang pakialam na nakakawala na s'ya ng respeto!

"Where's Mom?" I said to my butler when i arrived to our house.

"Kaka alis lang kasama ang Daddy mo for business trip."

I knew it, that's why tahimik nanamn ang lugar. I smiled sarcastically while roaming my eyes to the huge mansion. Parating wala sila mama at papa dahil sa negosyo. It's fine though, pero di ko maiwasang malungkot. Anyway i'm not fan of dramas, I'll just drop this shit.

I was staying inside my room for about 3 hours watching netflix. I was munching a popcorn when i felt my phone vibrated. I placed it in my ear to hear the other line.

"Miss, we already checked the building and it's perfect for the charity house na itatayo mo."

A smile plastered in my lips nang marinig ko iyon. Aside from my duty in DPO, it's also my hobby to build charity house in different places.

"A'right. Start the construction as soon as possible. I'll just send the design later in your email, ikaw na ang bahala dun."

That's why I will take an Architecture this coming school year dahil gustong-gusto ko talagang maging ganap na Arkitekto. Isapa ako ang madalas na nagdedesinyo sa mga pinapatayo naming charity house ng mga kaibigan ko.
