"Daddy, aren't we gonna play outside?" tanong ng prinsesa ni Anthony. Nasa bahay sila ng oras na iyon kasama ang kakambal nitong kapatid at inaayosan n'ya."We will but first, we have to put a towel on both of your back para hindi kayo matuyuan ng pawis and also I have to put polbo sainyo dahil papagalitan tayo ni mommy kapag nalaman n'yang hindi ko kayo nilagyan ng towel at polbo." aniya pa sa mga anak n'ya na ikinahagikhik ng mga ito.They're already five years old, time goes by so easily. Parang dati lang tuwang-tuwa siya dahil nalaman n'yang babae at lalaki ang kambal nila ni Emily pero ngayon, binibihisan na n'ya ang mga ito para makapaglaro sa labas kasama ang mga anak ng iba niyang kaibigan."daddy you're so scared of mom. Mom won't bite you." ani ni Germoiane, ang lalaki n'yang anak na ikinatango-tango naman ni Hermioane na babae n'yang anak."Yeah, mom won't bite me but if she'll gonna be mad at me, the chances of me sleeping on the couch is one hundred percent so let's not m

Humihingi siya ng pwedeng lutuin sa umagang iyon sa mommy n'ya, this past few days nagiging picky eater si Emily kahit tapos na ang paglilihi nito."oh she will." siguradong tugon ng mommy n'ya sakanya."I don't get it, mom. Bakit paranh naglilihi parin si Emily eh one of these days manganganak na siya diba? diba dapat babalik na sa normal ang pag kain n'ya?" tanong n'ya sa Ina. Naka loud speaker ito dahil nagluluto siya habang kausap ito. Actually, ginising n'ya ito ng maaga para tulungan siya."I don't know, you're a doctor, you should know." anito at binalik sakanya ang mga tanong n'ya."I don't know. Maybe it's the hormones. Maybe the twins wants more foods." aniya pa dito na ikinatawa nalang ng mommy n'ya."So you guys didn't really bother to know the gender? you want to be surprised that much, huh?" anito pa sa kabilang linya."Yeah, nagkasundo kami ni Emily na huwag alamin hanggang

Today is the day of Emily and Anthony's wedding. Everyone is busy preparing and so as Emily. Her make up is done but her hair is still on going. She's not wearing her wedding gown yet and she hasn't seen it yet. It will be a surprise since Anthony chooses the design and she choose a design for his tuxedo as well."The bride looks so beautiful." komento ng make up artist n'yang bakla habang ang isa sa mga tao nito ay inaayos ang buhok n'ya."Thank you, you did the make up so all credits to you." she said to him but he laughed at what she said."Our make up is good but really, you're already beautiful even without those. I was even speechless when I saw you, I thought if you still needed a make up." tumawa si Emily sa pangbo-bola nito."Ikaw talaga, napaka palabiro mo." aniya pa."Nako ma'am, akala mo ba siya lang ang na speechless sa ganda mo nung makita ka namin? kami din 'no, like your so pretty po talaga." sumang-ayon din naman ang ibang kasamahan nito na ikinatawa lang ni Emily."T

"Mr. And Mrs. Vasquez, how are you? I'm doctor Antonia." nakipag kamay silang dalawa sa bago nilang doktor. The doctor is an Ob-gyn and so good in what they do. She's actually one of Anthony's most amazing doctors noong full time doctor pa ito hospital n'ya. Pero ngayon may sarili na itong clinic at pumupunta lang sa hospital n'ya kung magpapaanak ito ng isa sa pasyente n'ya."Antonia, how are you?" tanong pa ng asawa n'ya dito na ikinatawa nito."I'm fine, doc. The business are going strong and your wife is one of my patient now." sabay tawa nito at baling sakanya ng tingin nito."Hi, Mrs. Vasquez. I'll be your doctor for your whole pregnancy." ngumiti si Emily dito. She likes the doctor. She thinks that she's kind enough to be her friend."Hello, I'm excited for this whole pregnancy." aniya pa na ikinatawa nang doktor pati narin ng asawa n'ya.Umupo na sila sa upuan sa harap ng table nito dahil marami itong tanong. Sobrang dami nilang pinag-usapan bago pa nga nag ultrasound. Hawak-h

"Buti naman at hindi kayo late na dalawa, ano?" natawa si Emily sa bungad sakanila ng kaibigan n'ya."why would we be late?" maang-maangan n'ya pa dito."aba ewan ko sainyo. Kayo lang naman nakakaalam ng ginagawa n'yo sa bahay bago umalis." anito. Andoon din ang ibang mga kaibigan nila at mga pamilya nila na susukatan ng gown and suites. Everyone is there and the last one to arrive is si Anthony at Emily, parteda wala pang ginawa yan, but at least they're not late."so? are you ready? I'll measure your body now and take note, Emily, I'll put some extra space kasi two months from now pa ang wedding, meaning medyo lalaki na ang tiyan mo kaya I'll put some extra measurement para hindi tayo mahirapan sa mismong kasal kasi masikip sa'yo ang gown." tumango si Emily sa kaibigan. she lets her do whatever she wants to do since she's the expert in it.Nakapili na sila ng design ng gown, or should Emily say na nakapili na ng design ng gown n'ya si Anthony. She challenged Anthony na ito ang pumil

"I can't believe this guy, fainting dahil buntis ka." nakahiga ang asawa ni Emily ngayon sa sofa ng hospital habang ang iba ay nagsi-celebrate parin. "Yeah, such a weak." ani naman ni Edward habang pinapalibutan nila si Anthony na tulog na tulog parin.Everyone was shocked when she said the good news but he fainted, pero imbis na mag-alala ang mga ibang doktor, natawa nalang ang mga ito peri ang mga kaibigan nito ay natatawa na parang nahihiya dahil sa kaibigan nila."Easy for you guys to say, hindi pa naman nabubuntis ang mga jowa n'yo kung meron." singit ni Mary sa mga ito."you're not pregnant so I can't really relate to him so for now I'm gonna call him weak." tugon naman ni Christian at napailing-iling na lamang silang magkakaibigan dito."Alright everyone, stop talking about Anthony na. Gigising na iyan any minute from now." matapos sabihin iyon ni Emily ay nagising din talaga si Anthony na para bang naalimpungatan pa."How are you feeling?" tanong n'ya sa binata at nang makita

2 days had passed but there's still no improvement with Alexander and Kaylee's relationship. Alexander is still mad with the lies and the fact that Kaylee doesn't have the plan to tell him about their daughter which is valid and Kaylee is afraid to talk to Alexander at the same time she's also still mad at him for what he did in the past, valid as well. Both have a valid reason why they're mad. "Hello? I brought you something.." Alexander is grinning from eat to eat as he is approaching their daughter in her room, hiding something from behind him, a surprise for his daughter. Alexander always come home from work na may dalang toy para sa anak n'ya and his daughter loves it everytime. "What is it po, daddy?" his daughter ask, giggling in excitement. Napangiti ng mas malaki si Alexander dahil sa reaksiyon ng anak nito. "I bought you this big barbie. A human size, barbie." napatalon sa tuwa ang anak nito. She is so happy and immediately hug the toy that he bought for her. Mat

"Daddy? are you mad at mommy?" tanong ng anak n'ya sakanya habang nasa loob sila ng sasakyan at nagmamaneho si Alexander pauwi sa Manila. Kaylee is in the passenger seat while their daughter is in the backseat. Alexander throw a glance to Kaylee sa mirror but Kaylee is just facing the window. Not facing him at all. And she's still in her uniform. "No, baby. Daddy's not mad on mommy, just disappointed but not mad.." tugon n'ya sa anak n'ya. Pawang katotohanan, ayaw n'yang magsinungaling sa anak n'ya. "Then why are you guys not talking to each other po?" tanong pa nito ulit. "Mommy is just tired from work and daddy needs to focus on driving. That's just it, baby." tugon n'ya ulit sa anak. Tumango-tango naman ang anak n'ya sa sinabi n'ya. "You can sleep there, baby. It will take a while before we'll arrive at our house in the Manila." aniya pa ulit sa anak. "Is our house big po ba sa Manila? excited po kasi ako makita kasi sabi ni mommy sa'kin dati na big daw po ang house n

"Alright, schedule the meeting at 4 pm today, I'll be heading home now." Alexander utter to his secretary om the other line. "Noted, sir. Have a safe drive, sir." his secretary replied and Alexander just nodded like his secretary can see it and he ended the call. He's now packing his clothes and ready to check out that hotel room that he lived for how many weeks. Matapos sabihin sakanya ni Kaylee ang lahat ng masasakit na salita na dapat n'yang marinig, naisipan n'ya munang bigyan ito ng space. Uuwi muna siya sa Manila para sa trabaho n'ya. He doesn't know how long he will give Kaylee a space, maybe he will just watch her from afar and protect her from afar for awhile before showing himself to her again. Alexander knows that Kaylee was really pissed and angry at him every since and even now, he doesn't want to add fuel to that by adding more frustration to her. After that night, Alexander didn't go to restaurant when morning came. He was just at his hotel room and spacing ou

"Alexander, ako na kasi." Alexander wanted to take the tray of food from Kaylee's hands para tulungan ito lalo na't marami-rami ang hawak nito at may drink pa na daldalhin. "I'll take this and you take the drinks." aniya pa dito. "You take the drinks and I'll take this. Hindi ka pwedeng magbuhat ng mabigat, kakagaling mo lang sa sakit." naiinis na tugon ni Kaylee sakanya. "Maayos na ang pakiramdam ko, anong pinagsasabi mong hindi pa ako magaling. Sige na, ako na ang magdadala nito at ikaw na doon." tinuro ng dalawang nguso n'ya ang drinks. "Gusto n'yo ako na magbuhat?" may biglang nagsalita sa likod nila. It's the unwanted guest of Kaylee. bumaling ang tingin ni Alexander dito at tinaasan ito ng kilay. "You shouldn't be here. This is for the employees only, you're not an employee so please get out." pagtataboy ni Alexander sa lalaki. "Alexander—" "am I wrong, Kaylee? tinaboy mo ako from here before, ba't parang sasawayin mo pa ako dahil pinapalabas ko itong bisita mo from the k

When everyone is working, at 2 pm in the afternoon, a customer enters the restaurant. It's a man that was very familiar to Alexander's sight. Naningkit ang dalawang mata n'ya ng bigla itong lumapit kay Kaylee at saka nakipag-beso dito. Tinitigan ito ng maigi ni Alexander, dahil sa selos at para narin maisip n'ya kung saan n'ya ba nakita ang binatang lumalapit-lapit kay Kaylee. "Anong ginagawa mo dito? bibili ka ba ng pagkain?" nakangiting tanong ni Kaylee sa lalaki. Sobrang laki ng ngiti ni Kaylee dito, ngiting hindi nito naibigay sakanya simula nang dumating siya sa lugar na iyon. "No, I just came to visit you." kumindat pa ito kay Kaylee na mas lalong ikina-inis ni Alexander. Who does he think that he is to do that to his wife? Mas lalo pang nainis si Alexander when the guy leaned closer to Kaylee para may maibulong dito at nagtawanan silang dalawa matapos iyon. "That's Colin, palagi iyang andito dati minsan kapag day off ni Kaylee si Kaylee ang pumupunta sakanya sa Manila." an

Morning came and Alexander felt better than last night. bumaba na rin ang lagnat nya, but Kaylee is not on his room anymore. She has left at nag-iwan lang ng note pati gamot at saka pagkain sa bedside table nya. binasa ni Alexander ang note na iniwan ni Kaylee para sakanya."I already check you, you're fever are already down but you still need to eat and drink your meds to prevent it from striking back again. Don't come to work today, just stay at home at magpa galing ng todo, don't be stubborn." napangiti si Alexander sa letter na iniwan nito matapos nya itong basahin."even in letters, she's still so bossy and mataray. I can hear her voive with only this letter." he jokingly said to himself and chuckled afterwards. Tumayo na si Alexander mula sa pagkaka upo sa kama at dinala ang pagkain na hinanda ni Kaylee sa maliit na dining table ng hotel room nya at doon kinain iyon pati narin ang gamot nya ay doon nya narin ininom. Matapos iyon ay inopen nya ang laptop nya at email nya para e-

"Gideon, ano ba! Pasimuno kana naman sa kalat!" galit na usal ni Matilda habang nakatingin sa asawa n'ya na ngayo'y parang batang hindi makagalaw kasi pinagalitan."Mahal, we were just playing." pagpapaliwanag pa nito pero tinaasan lang siya ng kilay ni Matilda."Pinapatulog mo dapat yang mga anak mo, ba't nakikipag laro ka?" galit parin si Matilda.Lumapit si Gideon sakanya at niyakap siya para paamuhin na masasabi naman ni Matilda na effective."Sorry na, ayaw kasi nilang matulog. Isang oras na akong strikto sakanilang dalawa para matulog sila pero nakiusap sila na ayaw talaga nilang matulog kaya pinagbigyan ko na." pagpapaliwanag nito and Matilda just gave her husband a deadpan look."Gideon, it's almost 9 pm—" hindi na natuloy ng dalaga ang sasabihin ng lumapit din sakanya ang kambal at niyakap siya para payagang huwag muna silang matulog."Mommy, there's no class naman tomorrow kaya please, pumayag kanang matagal kaming matulog ngayon. We sleep kaninang hapon and even woke up aro

"WHAT? I'LL BE LATE!" sigaw ni Gideon sa mga kaibigan n'ya na daig pa mga babae sa hina kumilos."Anong late? Bro, may one hour pa tayo para mag ready. Ba't kaba nagmamadali? I mean, this is your wedding but you're not the bride. Mas maraming make up ang bride kesa sayo, hindi mo na nga kailangan mag make up. Chill, alam kong excited ka pero chill. We'll be there in time." ani naman ni Anthony sakanya habang inaayos ang tuxedo nito.Tapos na mag ayos si Gideon pero ang mga kaibigan n'ya, nagkanya-kanyang harap sa salamin para magpa-gwapo pa."I'm chill. Gusto ko lang makita ang magiging asawa ko." Hindi alam ni Gideon pero kinakabahan siya."Hindi pwede. Your parents are old fashioned and so, you're not allowed to go and see the bride. Any minute from now pupunta na tayo ng simbahan, relax." komento pa ni Christian.Hindi parin mapakali si Gideon, siguro dala narin ng nangyari dati kaya natatakot siya na baka maulit iyon. Yun ang isa sa pinaka ayaw n'yang mangyari ulit sa buhay nilang

"You need to wear white dress." suhestiyon ni Emily kay Matilda na ikinataka naman ng dalaga."For what? I mean, is it necessary?" nagtatakang tanong n'ya pa sa kaibigan na ikinatango nito."It's a gender reveal party and it's theme is Angel. What does Angel wear? Diba white?" pagpapaliwanag naman ni Mary na mas lalong ikinataka ni Matilda."Mary, ipapaaalala ko lang sayo na you're wearing a gray dress and Emily and Ali are wearing peach dresses. So kung Angel ang theme ng party, ba't hindi kayo naka white?" aniya.Parehong nagtinginan ang tatlo na para bang nag-uusap sa pamamagitan ng mga titig na iyon."W-well, hindi naman kami ang nanay. Y-you're obliged to wear white and so as Gideon kasi you're both the parents. The theme are only applicable sa parents." kumunot ang noo ni Matilda sa paliwanag na iyon ni Mary."May tinatago ba kayo sa'kin?" naningkit ang mga mata ni Matilda habang nakatingin sa mga ito na ngayo'y parang napepe dahil hindi makapagsalita.A minute after that, Emily

"What is it mom?" tanong n'ya pa sa mommy n'ya na nasa opisina ng dalaga ngayon at sunod ng sunod dito at alam ng dalaga na may kailangan ito mula sakanya."I have something to tell you, please hear me out muna before you'll react." naintriga naman si Matilda sa sinabing iyon ng Ina."What is it?" Tanong n'ya pa ulit dito.Excited ito na may kasamang gigil na ngumiti sa dalaga. "We'll gonna do a gender reveal party to your baby." anito na ikinanoot ng noo ng dalaga."Gender reveal? Paano? Ano? What's that." naguguluhan n'ya pang tanong sa ina n'ya."Gender reveal. Diba, malalaman mo na mamaya yung gender ng baby? So dapat sasabihin mo sa doctor na isulat nalang sa paper yung gender ng baby and the doctor needs to fold it para hindi mo makita at namin para sa gender reveal. It's like a celebration of the baby's gender which we'll find out together." paliwanag ng mommy ni Matilda. Hindi alam ni Matilda kung saan nito pinagkukuha ang idea na iyon."Where is that idea even came from?" na

"Are you gonna kill them?" tanong ni Matilda sa binata."They have to die." ayaw baguhin ng binata ang desisyon n'ya pero knowing Matilda. Mas soft si Matilda when it comes to that thing. Mas pipiliin n'ya na ang hustisya ang maghusga sakanila."You already planned that, right? You will make them suffer and kill them afterwards?" tanong nito na para bang alam na nito lahat ng plano ni Gideon.Mahinang napatango-tango ang binata. "Are you gonna stop me?" mahinahon ngunit sa kabila nun, pinapalangin ni Gideon na huwag siyang pigilan ni Matilda pero laking gulat ni Gideon nang ngumiti si Matilda sakanya."I want you to not do it..." hindi alam ni Gideon ang mararamdaman. Ayaw n'yang baguhin ang plano n'ya pero kung ayaw ni Matilda, ayaw n'ya ring ipagpatuloy iyon. They did him wrong but they almost killed Matilda and what Matilda will say will be the final plan of him. "But I don't want to be soft hearted at this moment. They almost killed me and my baby. I think whatever plan you have f

"Cindy Vergione, come here and I'll comb your hear before you play outside with kuya and daddy." tawag pa ni Brea sa bunso n'yang babae. Narinig n'ya ang nagtatakbong mga paa nitong maliliit. Vergione is now four years old and she's there second child, the third one is still on her stomach."mommy, will Tito mark and the other Tito's and tita's will be there to play with us?" sobrang cute ng boses nito at pinanggigilan iyon ni Brea."Yes, your Tito's and Tita's will be there to play with you." aniya pa. Magaling na si Mark, Edward's parents took him to America para doon magpagaling and when they came back, magaling na si Mark na ipinagpasalamat n'ya. Ang iba naman n'yang kapatid ay malalaki narin habang si Brealle ay nagta-trabaho na bilang doktor sa isang malaking hospital sa bansa. She's so proud of her sister for the past years and now? she's studying because she'll gonna take a board exam for being professional nurse. Yes, nag aral siya sa loob ng anim na taon, she also met her p

Habang palabas silang dalawa ni Paul galing sa kwartong iyon ay hindi parin siya makapaniwala na buntis siya. All this time, she thought that it was just because her period is coming but she forgot that she's already delayed."Will you be okay?" tanong nito sakanya nang mapansin nitong tulala siya habang naglalakad sila."I'll be fine." nasundan iyon ng isang malaking buntong hininga at natawa sakanya ang binata. "You have to be stress free, makaka apekto iyan sa bata. Does Edward know? nag-away ba kayo?" kumunot ang noo n'ya sa tanong ng binatang doktor sakanya."How did you know that it's Edward?" nagtatakang tanong n'ya pa dito."I saw you guys being together in a restaurant once. So I guess you two are back together and I suppose that's his child?" may pag aalinlangan nitong tugon sakanya."oh, yeah just don't tell anyone yet. Hindi n'ya kasi alam at wala pa akong planong ipaalam sakanya." aniya pa sa binata pero imbis na ito ang sumagot sakanya, ibang boses ang sumagot mula sa h

"Ate? dalawang araw kana dito sa hospital. Wala ka bang planong umuwi muna at mag bihis?" tanong kaagad sakanya ni Mark pagkabalik n'ya galing bumili ng lunch nito.Tumawa si Brea sa kapatid. "Mabaho na ba si ate?" biro n'ya pa sa kapatid pero nagulat siya ng tumango ito sakanya."Oo ate kaya umuwi ka muna at maligo. Ang baho mo na." kumunot ang noo ni Brea sa sinabi nito kaya inamoy n'ya ang sarili pero hindi naman siya mabaho kaya nagtataka siya sa kapatid."Hindi naman ah. Pinagti-tripan mo ako eh." aniya pa sa kapatid na ikinatawa nito."syempre biro lang iyon, ate. Kailan ka ba naging mabaho? ang akin lang naman ay magpahinga ka muna sa bahay. Hindi ka nakakatulog ng maayos dito eh." anito pa at ngumiti si Brea dito saka kinurot ang pisngi ng kapatid.Brea is glad that her little brother is getting better and better every day. She's thanking God for that. "nakakatulog kaya ako ng maayos. Ano ka ba." pagsisinungaling n'ya pa dito. Hindi naman ito ang dahilan kung bakit kulang-kula

naalimpungatan si Brea nang biglang tumunog ang doorbell ng hotel room kung saan siya tumuloy matapos n'yang umalis sa penthouse ni Edward. It's been two hours since then."Oh my gosh, what happened?" it's Brealle, she immediately texted Brealle to come over and talk to her."Our contract has already ended." she said to her but Brealle was just looking so deeply into her eyes. She saw the eye bags and how tired her face is. "Tell me what really happened. I know this is not just about the contract, ate. Alam kong hindi ka hahayaang ni Kuya Edward na makawala sakanya so tell me what happened?" nagbuntong hininga si Brea at naglakad papunta sa kana para umupo doon at nakasunod naman sakanya ang kapatid sabay sarado nito sa pinto."Last night, I've waited for him to come home and eat dinner with me. He promised me na uuwi siya dahil titikman n'ya ang luto ko, I was looking forward to it. I waited from 6 p.m up until 2 a.m and trying to be so understanding kasi alam kong busy siya. I didn'

"Brea? baby? wake up. Bakit dito ka natulog sa sala?" dahan-dahang iminulat ni Brea ang mga mata at kaagad na bumungad sakanya ang mukha ni Edward.She's sure as hell that her eyes are puff because of too much crying from last night. Hindi niya pinansin si Edward at kinuha lang ang cellphone para tingnan kung anong oras na. It's almost 11 in the morning kaya bumangon siya without saying anything to him."Brea, I'm sorry about last night—" "save it, looks like you enjoy your time with Cheska. Hinatid ka pa n'ya kagabi, I wonder what you guys will do if I wasn't here." she said without any emotions and without looking at him.Hindi sumagot si Edward sakanya. "But that's okay, not that I should care. You're single naman so it shouldn't be any of my business." dagdag aniya pa at pumasok sa kwarto at dumeretso sa banyo. Napabuntong hininga si Brea nang makita ang mga mata n'yang magang-maga dahil sa kakaiyak at naiiyak na naman siya pero pinigilan n'ya ang sarili kasi pagod na siyang umiya
