Chapter 21: An Unexpected Reunion

Winston's POVThe executive elevator opened with its familiar chime. I stepped out first, automatically slowing my pace when I realized Windy hadn't followed immediately.When I glanced over my shoulder, I found her standing just outside the elevator, quietly taking in the executive floor.Her eyes wandered from the polished marble floors to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Makati skyline. The afternoon sun filtered through the glass, reflecting against the sleek black walls and chrome accents that had become so ordinary to me over the years."Ang ganda..." she murmured.There was genuine wonder in her voice butI didn't respond.This building had been my second home since I was a teenager. I've walked these hallways thousands of times. I stopped noticing how luxurious they looked years ago. But seeing it through Windy's eyes… It almost looked different.Employees greeted me as we walked."Good afternoon, Mr. Domingo."And as always, I acknowledged each greeting with a brie

Chapter 22: My Innocent Promdi

Winston POVThere was a reason I hated social events. People assumed charity galas were about generosity. They weren't, actually. Not entirely.Money built hospitals, yes. Alam ko. Money provides scholarships, community projects but beneath the elegant gowns, expensive tuxedos, and crystal chandeliers… People negotiated and they measured influence, they judged.Every handshake had a purpose. Every smile hid an intention. And every newcomer was silently evaluated before the first glass of champagne was served.Windy had no idea what kind of world she was about to enter. As we walked toward the private elevator leading to the parking basement, she remained unusually quiet.That alone caught my attention. Silence didn't suit her. She was the type who asked questions every few minutes. Who found wonder in ordinary things. Who could somehow start conversations with complete strangers.Now… She was thinking. Probably replaying my last sentence.Everyone will be watching you.The elevator do

Chapter 23: Four Hundred Thousand

WINSTON POVI've always believed that preparation determines the outcome. In business, deals aren't won inside the boardroom. They're won days before the meeting even begins.By the time both parties sit across from each other, the winner has usually been decided. The charity gala was no different.Most people saw it as an elegant evening filled with champagne, expensive gowns, and meaningless conversations.I knew better. It was a battlefield disguised as a celebration.Every smile would be calculated. Every compliment would carry hidden intent. Every introduction would become an opportunity to measure someone else's worth.And this year… Windy would be walking into that battlefield.~The following morning, I arrived at my office earlier than usual.The headquarters was still relatively quiet. Most employees had yet to arrive, leaving the executive floor almost silent except for the occasional sound of printers warming up and assistants preparing documents for the day's meetings.I

Chapter 24: The Perfect Dress

WINSTON POVI never imagined choosing a dress could take longer than negotiating a multi-billion peso acquisition.Yet there I was.Standing inside a private fitting suite while watching five professional stylists struggle with one stubborn woman."Ayoko nito. Di ko bet."Windy stepped out from behind the fitting room curtain, carefully smoothing the fabric over her waist before facing the full-length mirror.The gown was elegant. Champagne-colored silk. Off-the-shoulder neckline. Simple yet classic. Exactly the kind of dress women in our circle would fight over.She frowned. "Parang hindi ko talaga siya bet eh."Ms. Alvarez tilted her head thoughtfully. "The fit is perfect.""Alam ko..." Windy looked down at herself. "Pero hindi ko talaga feel. Basta ayoko nito. Masyado siyang pang mayaman."One of the assistants tried not to smile. Even I understood what she meant. The dress looked expensive. But somehow, it wore her instead of the other way around."Next," I said simply.Ms. Alvare

Chapter 25: A Lesson in Etiquette

The drive back to the mansion was quieter than the one going to the boutique.Windy sat beside me, her gaze fixed outside the window. The garment bag containing the evening gown rested carefully across her lap, as though she was afraid even the smallest bump in the road would ruin it.She hadn't spoken much since we left. That, more than anything else, caught my attention. Windy wasn't naturally quiet. She filled the silence without trying.She talked to drivers, to receptionists, to gardeners, and to anyone who happened to smile at her.But now, she was unusually thoughtful.Oscar pulled the car through the wrought-iron gates of the Domingo Mansion. As always, the security guards straightened the moment they saw the car."Good afternoon, sir."I acknowledged them with a nod. Before I could step out, Windy rolled down her window."Good afternoon din po!"The two guards blinked in surprise before smiling. "Good afternoon, Ma'am."She waved enthusiastically before getting out of the car

Chapter 26: Her First Dance

Windy's POVKung may isang bagay talaga akong hindi maintindihan sa mga mayayaman...Bakit ang hilig nilang gawing komplikado ang lahat?Noong nasa probinsya pa ako, ang alam kong sayawan ay kapag may piyesta, kasalan, o kaya'y Christmas party sa barangay. Kapag tumugtog na ang banda, bahala na kung sino ang marunong at hindi. Ang importante, masaya.Pero dito, Dios ko! Naiistress ako, ang dami nilang ganap sa buhay. May ballroom na nga may etiquette pa silang nalalaman. May tamang lakad daw, may tamang upo, at may tamang hawak ng kubyertos. Ang dami nilang ka-ek-ekan.Feeling ko pati maling paghinga, may seminar pa eh. Nasstress na ko.Napabuntong-hininga ako habang nakatayo sa harap ng salamin sa kwarto ko.Simple lang ang suot ko, isang cream-colored blouse at beige na palda. Wala namang espesyal, pero ewan ko ba. Kinakabahan ako na parang may exam.Hindi ko pa rin makalimutan ang sinabi ni Winston kanina sa kusina."Meet me in the ballroom after lunch."Ballroom.Hanggang ngayon,

Chapter 27: Leaving the City

Winston's POVThere were very few things capable of disrupting my routine. Unexpected business losses, acrisis inside the company, or an emergency board meeting. Those were the kinds of things that usually occupied my thoughts.Not a woman who couldn't stop stepping on my shoes.I loosened my necktie as I entered my study, closing the door behind me with a quiet click. The mansion had already settled into its usual silence.Somewhere downstairs, I could hear the faint clinking of dishes as the kitchen staff cleaned after dinner. Normally, I would've gone straight back to work.Instead, I found myself looking down at my shoes. The polished leather now carried several faint marks.Courtesy of Windy. I should've been annoyed. Those shoes had been custom-made in Italy. She had stepped on them at least a dozen times during our lesson.Yet, the only thing I remembered was the horrified look on her face every time it happened."Sorry!""Hindi ko sinasadya!""Hindi ba masakit?"A smile threat

Chapter 28: Espresso

Windy's POVHindi ako makatulog. Ilang beses na yata akong bumangon para tingnan kung nakapag-empake na ba talaga ako.Tatlong beses kong inayos ang maliit kong backpack at dalawang beses kong binuksan tapos inayos ulit. Napailing na lang si Aling Rosa nang makita niya akong paulit-ulit na nagtitiklop ng mga damit."Naku, Ma'am. Parang isang linggo po kayong mawawala ah."Napangiti ako. "Excited lang po talaga, Manang. Excited na kong umuwi, nami-miss ko na kasi sina Ate Liza. At saka..." Huminto ako. "Nami-miss ko rin ang bahay."Tumango siya habang inaayos ang kuwelyo ng apron niya."Natural lang po yan. Panigurado, mababait po ang mga kapitbahay ninyo.""Opo, sobra. Tsaka miss ko na rin ang tahol ng mga aso ko tuwing madaling-araw."Napatawa si Aling Rosa. "Ma'am naman.""Totoo kaya. Kapag walang tumatahol sa umaga, parang may kulang."Napailing na lang siya habang natatawa.~Alas siyete pa lang ng umaga ay gising na ako. Actually, hindi pala. Hindi na talaga ako nakatulog, excite

Chapter 29: The Slippers

Winston's POVI had attended business summits in Singapore. Negotiated contracts in Tokyo. Closed acquisitions in New York.Yet somehow, walking through a small barangay in Batangas felt far more unfamiliar."This way!"Windy waved at me enthusiastically from several steps ahead. She was practically walking backwards while talking."Ano'ng iniisip mo?""Nothing.""Naks.""Ibig sabihin, seryoso na naman."She laughed before turning around just in time to avoid bumping into an old woman carrying a basket of vegetables."Nay Pacing!""Pasensya na po!"The elderly woman laughed. "Naku, Windy. Ganyan ka pa rin." She gently pinched Windy's cheek. "Namiss ka namin.""Ako rin po, Nay."I stood a few steps away, quietly observing. Every person who saw her, smiled. Not the polite smiles I was used to seeing at corporate events.These were genuine and warm. The kind of smiles that reached the eyes."Hoy, Windy!" A man in his fifties called out from across the road. "Kailan ka pa uuwi ulit?""Dep

Chapter 30: Three-legged Race

Windy's POVHindi ko alam kung paano kumalat ang balita. Pagkatapos lang naming maghapunan nila Mama kagabi, halos buong barangay na ang nakakaalam na umuwi ako. At ngayong umaga ay mas lalo pang nagulo ang tahimik naming kalsada."Windy!"Paglabas ko pa lang ng gate, sinalubong na agad ako ni Aling Nena habang may hawak na malaking bilao ng pancit."Aba! Mabuti at gising ka na. Mamaya na ang umpisa ng barangay celebration."Napakurap ako. "Barangay celebration?""Hala! Hindi mo ba alam?" Napahawak siya sa noo. "Taon-taon tayong may simpleng salu-salo pagkatapos ng anihan.""Ay oo nga pala!" Napahalakhak ako. "Nakalimutan ko.""Natural. Ang tagal mo na kasing nawala."Ngumiti ako. Namiss ko talaga ang lugar na ito. Hindi kailangan ng engrandeng handaan para maging masaya ang lahat. Sapat na ang mahabang mesa sa gitna ng kalsada, ilang kaldero ng pagkain, at mga taong magkakakilala simula pagkabata.Paglingon ko sa likuran, nakita kong palabas na rin ng bahay si Winston. Katulad pa rin
