Chapter: Chapter 17Isang simple at romantikong candle light dinner ang bumungad sa kanilang dalawa matapos nilang magtungo sa balcony ng kwarto ni Kaizer. Napa-iling at napa-ngiti na lamang si Lauren habang pinagmamasdan ang mga dekorasyon sa balcony. “Hindi ba’t parang napaka-competitive mo naman?” pang-aasar na puna ni Lauren dahil sa ayos ng mesa. Habang tinatahak kasi nila kanina ang daan patungo sa cabin suite ay doon niya naalala ang usapan nilang dalawa na sabay magha-hapunan ngayong araw. Hindi na siya gaanong nag-ayos dahil ang buong akala niya ay sa dining hall o kaya naman ay sa isang restaurant sa loob ng cruise ship lang ang pupuntahan nila. Kaya naman hindi niya inaasahan ang ganoong set-up. Kailan man ay hindi niya pa naranasan ang bagay na ‘yon. Sino ba naman kasi ang gustong magtangka… hindi ba? At isa pa, wala naman siyang panahon para sa ganoong bagay. Masyado siyang abala para maka-survive sa naging buhay niya. Subalit, katulad din naman siya ng ibang babae na gustong maranasan a

Chapter: Chapter 16Dahan-dahang umupo si Kaizer sa silya habang minamasahe nito ang ulo niya. Halos lahat yata ng activities sa cruise ship ay nasubukan niya. Tuwing nakikita o nakaka-salubong siya ni Lauren ay inaaya siya nito na magliwaliw sa cruise ship. Natatapat pa na nasa paligid nila si Claudia.Hindi niya alam kung nagkataon lang ba o talagang binabantayan ng babae ang kilos niya para makahanap ito ng tyempo na kausapin siya.“Here’s your coffee, Sir.” saad ni Jason matapos ibaba sa harap ni Kaizer ang isang tasang kape. Umayos naman ng upo si Kaizer saka dahan-dahang humigop ng kape. Matapos ilapag ang tasa sa lamesa ay tumingin siya kay Jason.“Report.” maikling utos nito.“Yes, Sir.” sagot ni Jason. Kinuha niya ang tablet saka inabot iyon kay Kaizer. Tinanggap naman ito ni Kaizer at saka tumingin sa dokumento na nakalagay roon.Tumikhim muna si Jason bago nag-umpisang mag-report.“Mr. Romero was the head of purchasing department* and the one that was responsible for sourcing and purchasing ra

Chapter: Chapter 15“I want to try rock climbing first. That would be a good warm up.”Kaizer could only tag along and let her decide. Luckily he wore casual clothes after hearing her say ‘fun activities’.They first went rock climbing. Kaizer was shocked that she’s good at that activity. She keeps up with his speed and even has a great technique.“Wow, I really enjoyed it.”“I can really see it in your face.”Lauren looks away for a moment and when she looks back at Kaizer her eyes are sparkling.“I know what we will do next.”“What?”Lauren pointed at the back of Kaizer. He turned around. “Look up.” Sinunod naman niya ang sinabi nito. Nakita niya roon ang isang mahabang water slides. “It’s the best isn’t it?” she said like a child who was excited to buy the toy she wants.Kaizer could only shake his head. Mukhang magiging mahabang araw iyon para sa kanya. Napaka-energetic ni Lauren at hindi niya alam kung

Chapter: Chapter 14Early in the morning, Stella and Marielle were already busy. Finally, the date for the engagement party was all set. It was 2 months from now that’s why the two of them were busy finding a great venue. Galing na sila sa iba’t ibang resort. Nagka-canvas kung saan may pinaka-magandang venue para sa engagement party ng anak. Naka-ilang resort na sila ngunit wala pa rin silang magustuhan sa mga ito. Minsan lang ‘yon kaya naman gusto nila na maayos ang lahat. Mula sa venue, invitation, gamit hanggang sa araw mismo ng event. Nasa isang pastry shop sila ng mga oras na ‘yon. Matapos kasi puntahan ang pang-apat na resort ay nagpasya sila na magpahinga muna sandali.Ibinaba ng ina ni Theo ang iniinom na fruit juice. Binaling ang tingin sa ginang na nasa harap niya. “Stella, akala ko ba ay sasama sa paghahanap ng venue si Hazel? Paano natin malalaman ang gusto niya kung wala siya rito?” nagrereklamo na saad ni Marielle.Ngumiti muna si Stella bago sinagot ang tanong nito. “May inasikaso lang d

Chapter: Chapter 13Lauren was already drunk and Kaizer didn’t know how to deal with her. After eating too many sweets, she then began drinking non-stop. Tahimik lang itong umiinom kaya naman hindi alam ni Kaizer kung ano ba ang tumatakbo sa isip ng dalaga sa mga oras na ‘yon. Hindi niya ito pinigilan dahil baka magalit na naman sa kanya ang dalaga. Nasa bar counter na sila naka-pwesto ng mga oras na ‘yon kung saan nasa harap lang nila ang isa sa mga bartender. Nakikipag-asaran pa sa kanya si Lauren kanina, ngunit matapos uminom ng ilang basong wine ay bigla na lang itong tumahimik. She had this seriousness on her face that made Kaizer unconsciously watched her. Mahirap na at baka kung ano pa ang mangyari kay Lauren. Kaizer looked at her intently. If he only knew that she has a low alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't let her drink any alcohol. He would have ordered some fruit juice instead. Lauren shifted her gaze at him and smiled. But Kaizer knew that it's not a happy smile. Sadness. Longing. Pai

Chapter: Chapter 12In the middle of the crowd, a brown-haired and grey-eyed middle-aged man walks toward them and warmly welcomes Kaizer. “Finally, I almost thought you rejected my invitation seeing how you don’t want to attend gatherings like this.” When he saw Lauren beside Kaizer, he curiously asked, “This beautiful young lady is…?” Kaizer proudly introduced her, “This is my girlfriend, Lauren.” Then he looked at Lauren to introduce the man. “Lauren, this is Mr. McDaniel, he's the owner of this cruise ship.” “It’s nice to meet you, Sir.” Magalang na bati ng dalaga.Tinapik ng lalaki ang balikat ni Kaizer. Halata mong natutuwa sa nakikita niya. He jokingly said, “We thought you would never have a girlfriend and end up being a single old man. But it seems you only want to keep your relationship a secret. Looking at this beautiful lady beside you, you must be afraid that another man will take her away from you.” “Of course, who wouldn’t be anxious if someone wants to steal your woman. But I wouldn’t

Chapter: Chapter 17A simple and romantic dinner welcomed the two after entering Kaizer’s room’s balcony. Lauren could only shake her head and smile while looking at the decoration on the balcony.“Aren’t you being too competitive?” Lauren teasingly commented about the setup of the table. Earlier, while walking on their way to the cabin suite, Lauren suddenly remembered the dinner arrangement they talked about. She didn't doll herself up and just keep it simple because she thought that they would only have dinner at the dining hall or in one of the restaurants on the cruise ship. That's why she did not expect this kind of setup. Never in her life has she experienced the things in front of her right now. Who would take a risk to do that for her… right?One more thing, she doesn't have that much leisure time to spend on such things. She is too busy thinking about how her life is gonna survive every day.However, like any other girl, Lauren also wanted to experience romantic things with the one she loves.

Chapter: Chapter 16Kaizer slowly sat in a chair while massaging his head. He thinks that he tried almost all activities on the cruise ship for these past few days. Whenever Lauren sees or meets him, the woman invites him to try another cruise ship activity. And every time that happens, Claudia is around so he can't refuse.He didn't know whether it was just a coincidence or the woman was really watching his actions so that she could find the perfect time to talk to him.“Here’s your coffee, Sir,” Jason announced after putting the cup of coffee on the table, in front of Kaizer. Kaizer sits properly and then takes a sip from his coffee. After placing back the cup on the table, he looked at Jason. “Report,” he commanded.“Yes, Sir,” Jason replied. Jason picked up the tablet and then handed it to Kaizer. Kaizer accepts it and then looks at the documents on it.Jason clears his throat before starting to report.“Mr. Romero was the head of purchasing department* and the one that was responsible for sourcing

Chapter: Chapter 14Early in the morning, Stella and Marielle were already busy. Finally, the date for the engagement party was all set. It was 2 months from now that’s why the two of them were busy finding a great venue. They went to different resorts, searching for the best place where they could celebrate the engagement party of their children. They have already visited several resorts but they don't like any of them. This event will only happen once in the lifetime of their children so they want to make sure that it will go smoothly. That everything will go according to what they have planned, from the venue, invitation, things and until the day of the engagement. The two madams were in a pastry shop at that time. Because after they visited the fourth resort, they decided to rest for a while. Theo's mother put down the glass of fruit juice she was drinking. Then, she shifted her gaze to the woman in front of her. “Stella, I thought Hazel will be coming with us in choosing the venue? How will we kn

He didn't stop her because the girl might get angry with him again.At that moment they were at the bar counter wherein one of the bartenders was just in front of them.Lauren was still teasing him a while ago, but after drinking a few glasses of wine, she suddenly fell silent. She had this seriousness on her face that made Kaizer unconsciously watch her. Something might happen to her if he looked away even if it is just a second. Kaizer looked at her intently.
