Prologue
"Inspiration. 'yan ang kulang sa akda mo, Mr. Andrade. Hindi ko maramdaman na may factor sa manuscript mo. Your story-I'm sorry to say this- but some kind of. I'm sorry, this story can't be publish"
"Are you serious, Ms. Laydine? I've asked for a friend's approval not to mention na isa siyang author and he said it was fine"
"yes. It was fine but not that good. Mr. Andrade sinabihan na kita this is your 20th-"
"19th Ms. Laydine"
"-times, fine, 19th times sa pagpasa ng manuscript but all of it was not good. I'm not judging nor underestimating your capability to write pero.."
"I get it, Ms. Laydine, thanks for your time"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry but please find an inspiration to write more. To write an unrealistic but realistic story. I know you're a good writer"
"thanks, I'm going"
"I'm sorry again"
"I understand"
*sigh
"Mr. Andrade? I'll give you one more chance again.. on the third day of May submit your manuscript if di ko nagustuhan then it's time that you need to accept my offer to you"
"Thank you Ms. Laydine! Thank you! I'll do my very best"
"I know, you may go now"
"Thanks"
"Earl?"
"yes?"
"I'm saying this as a sister, good luck"
"thanks, sis"
