the House

It could have been that case. I liking him for all the reasons in the world but not really. For these first two chapters.. let me tell you most of the ordinary things going on. Like the average girls, I also went through every hurting moment that a girl can feel. I also had a number of boy-flings and boyfriends.

One day I realize that these boy is checking me out. But it cannot be. We are living in the same roof. No.. we are not relatives of some sort. Nor borders in a bording house. We are not even close to steady-boyfriend-girlfriend thing. So definitely it’s not a live-in situation or a conjugal reason. For one, we decided to share everything there is to share because coincidentally we saw the house at the same date with the previous owner.

We both liked the house. Since the house needs to be sold urgently because the owner is flying to the States, he decided to have a round-table discussion with us. I was really caught off guard when I saw him in the open-house-round table meeting. Of all people, who would ever imagine seeing your not-s0-close-classmate-in-elementary-days in a place like this.

At first, I felt a bit conscious because it’s as if I have to fight for the house that we’ve seen at the same time. For 3 weeks, nobody seems to let go of the house. The owner needs the money, so I tried my best to get all my savings and do some sidelines in order to pay for the down payment. But since I am a fresh graduate and I just had my first job, considering my starting pay is not that sufficient for the needed down payment, I almost lost hope in getting the house.

Well, on the other hand.. this boy came from a wealthy family and has his fair share of savings, etc.. With this, he doesn’t have to go through everything that I’ve tried to do to buy the house. In just a snap, his family can write a check and voile! Here comes the lovable house right in front of his palm.

Suddenly, the owner decided to give us the benefit of the doubt. We really didn’t think it’s possible. But he said that if we want the house, it’s the only way that he can sell it to us. It was a bit unbelievable that we are the only ones whom he want to sell the house with. I for one don’t think that I will be able to fight my dineros with this guy. So, without hearing the conditions that Mr. Owner was about to say, I told them that I wouldn’t be able to compete or save money with a deadline.

But Mr. Owner stopped me from giving up. He asked not-s0-close-classmate-in-elementary-days if we could share the house, share the utilities, and other stuffs. Ok. So the place is fully furnished. The house is a two-story building with 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a veranda, a beautiful garden, and a huge high-tech kitchen. Yes. It’s lovely and with how I described it, you’ll think that I am such a dreamer. Ok. I know now. But I really fell in love with the place the moment I set my eyes on them.

YES just the place and not not-s0-close-classmate-in-elementary-days.
