Body, Money "COME in," his deep voice sexily echoed in my ears.Awtomatiko akong napalunok habang nakatitig ako sa kanyang mga mata. I slowly wave my head and come in. Nagbigay naman ito ng daan para makapasok ako.Pagharap ko rito ay hindi ko mapigilan ang mapasinghap as he immediately pushes me into the wall and he pressed his body against me.I suddenly panicked and my heart pants. "A-Ashton–" he didn't let me talk any words. He just simply pressed his lips against me.My mind is blank at the moment his lips brush mine. Yes, I was expecting it to happen as I come into his place, but what I did not expect is his quick movement. He didn't stop kissing me until I didn't respond to his kisses.Napapikit ako ng mariin at mas lalo pang kumabog ng malakas ang dibdib ko. I push to remain calm even though inside I was trembling about what might happen that night.I kept on reminding myself that this is an exchange of money.Our lips parted when we are out of breath with the intense kisses w
No Appointment BUMUNTONG hininga ako. I am very worried for Astrid. Bahagyang lumalala ang komplikasyon niya sa puso na umaapektado sa kanyang paghinga. Bumagsak na rin ang kangyang katawan. Day by day my daughter suffering. The doctor always keeps on visiting my daughter. From time to time nila sinusuri ang bata. Ako na halos walang pahinga at puyat dahil hindi ako masyado nakakatulog para lang bantayan ang kalagayan ng anak ko. On the other hospital, si Mama Shirley rin ay hindi pa umaayos ang kalagayan nito. The doctor is still undecided to make an operation. Iyon pa ang kanilang pinag-aaralan sa kaso ni Mama. Hindi ko na alam kung saan kakapit para lakasan pa lalo ang loob ko. I am very helpless about all of the problems we have on our shoulders. Financially unstable is also stressing us. Awang-awa ako kay Mama Flor at Mama Joan dahil alam ko pati sila nahihirapan na. Napapabayaan na rin namin ang family business namin. "Amber," tawag sa akin ng bagong panauhin. It was Mama
Revelation [ ASHTON P.O.V. ]I WAS waiting in my office patiently. A smirk on my lips won't leave as I remember what happens last night.Last night... I swear, I did not expect that I quickly got the opportunity to take her body after a year. When she appears in front of my door I just couldn't resist looking at her. But what surprised me, she did not protest and let me do what I want to happen. And that is very satisfying. Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan ay kung bakit kailangan niya ang ganoong kalaking halaga. I thought to myself while smirking.Until then, I can't still be figuring out. But surely I will find the reasons soon.My mind is still going somewhere else, and my eyes deeply looking away. A knock outside my office door drags me out of my reverie."Sir, nandito na ho ang bisita n'yo. Kaso... Nanay raw ho siya ni Amber, Sir."I frowned upon hearing that her mother is visiting me. I pause in a while sorting out why her mom is here in behalf of her.Does something happen to he
Furious Eyes [ ASHTON P.OV. ]HINDI ko maipaliwanag ang aking nararamdaman sa mga oras na iyon. I feel so glad knowing that I have a child with Amber, but at the same time, I am angry with her for trying to hide my child from me.I was driving at that time. Malalim akong bumuntonghininga. Bahagya akong lumingon sa kabilang passenger seat. There is the woman who claims Amber's mother silently sitting."When did she give birth?" tanong ko sa pagitan ng katahimikan sa loob ng kotse.Lumingon ito sa akin saka sinabi kung kailan ito nanganak. I clenched my hands while driving. Bumigat rin ang aking paghinga. Ngayon pa lang gustong gusto ko ng sumbatan ang babaing walang pakialam sa nararamdam ko kung sakaling malaman ko na ang totoo."A-alam naming mali ang ginawa ng pamangkin namin sa pagtatago ng anak niya mula sa 'yo. Hindi namin masisisi si Amber kung ginawa niya iyon, for sure malalim ang dahilan niya. Alam kong labas na kami sa anoman ang gagawin mo kapag nalaman mo ang totoo, but pl
Consequences LUMAPIT agad ako sa anak ko nang makita ko na iginalaw niya ang kanyang isang braso. When I notice the time, I almost forgot that it was time for her soft food and milk.Naramdaman ko ang pagpasok muli ni Mama Joan at Ella sa loob ng silid. My mother approaches me and help me to feed my daughter."H-hija... Patawarin mo sana ako sa nagawa kong panghihimasok sa desisyon mo." wika nito sa mahinang tinig.Tumingin ako rito matapos kong maiupo ng maayos si Astrid. Huminga ako ng malalim."It's okay, Ma. I understand why you did it." tugon ko rito saka ko sinubuan ng pagkain si Astrid."Alam ko na galit ka sa ginawa ko," she said sitting on the side of the bed."Kung galit man ako... 'yon ay mismo sa sarili ko, Ma. Dahil pinalala ko pa ang kalagayan ng bata kaysa ang humingi agad sa kanya ng tulong." ngumiti ako ng bahagya rito. "You and he made me realize my mistakes. I deserve his anger." I added.Patuloy ko pa ring pinapakain ang anak ko. Nasa mukha pa rin ng bata ang kata
Instant Tita, Nanny [ PAMELA P.O.V ] I WAS still dumbfounded after my brother call me and informed me about what he said. It was like a bomb. A terrible bomb.What did he say? His son? Oh my, God! Is it true or he is just making fun with me?Tatawagan ko sana ito to confirm what he said, ngunit nakatanggap naman ako ng text mula rito. And my eyes just went wide and my jaw dropped off.["Here is the exact address, Pamela. ********** Please, take good care of your nephew 'Axel' while I and her mom are not around. If you have any questions, just wait for my call. Just be sure you will pick your nephew right now. That's an order."]I was still astonished. Paulit-ulit ko pa ring binasa ang mensahe ng nakakatandang kapatid ko na lalaki. My eyes were blinking in shock, and my heart rapidly beating.Tumikwas ang kilay ko. "Is this true?" I thought silently.Pero ni minsan man ay hindi pa nagbibiro si kuya sa akin kung may nais siyang ipagawa sa 'kin ng ora mismo. I shook my head in disbeli
Father and Daughter PAGKALAPAG ng eroplano ay agad kaming sinalubong ng medical team na nakaantabay sa aming pagrating. Isang ambulance vehicle ang siyang naghatid sa amin sa isang heart care hospital sa America, kung saan may kontak si Ashton at kung saan gagawin ang operasyon ni Astrid.Agad inasikaso si Astrid ng ibang mga doctor at mga nurse patungo sa operating room. Astrid's doctor and the two nurses who accompanied us had some discussions with the American doctors and nurses. They first discuss my daughter's medical records and also her condition at that moment.After their discussion, kami namang dalawa ni Ashton ang ipinatawag ng doctor upang i-discuss nito ang tungkol sa kalagayan ng bata, they also discuss the important information about our daughter's heart surgery at kung ilang oras iyon itatagal bago matapos ang lahat.The expert foreign doctors guaranteed that my daughter's surgery is only a bit difficult, and they also guaranteed that it will be going to be a successf
Almost Winter TATLONG oras mula nang inumpisahan ng mga doctor ang masusing operasyon para kay Astrid. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako mapakali. I try to stay calm, but the condition in that foreign country is quiet making me feel more uncomfortable. Nakasuot ako ng long sleeve thick shirt, but it doesn't mean I already feel warm inside. The truth is I feel a little bit of chill in almost wintertime in New York, America. I just can't get ready for it dahil sa sitwasyon ng anak ko ako nakatutok. Ganoon pa man ay ni minsan hindi ko iyon pinahalata sa taong kasama ko roon. Nang bahagya nang giniginaw ang pakiramdam ko ay nagpaalam na muna ako rito kahit pa hindi ako kinikibo nito. I stroll and try to find a coffee vendo machine throughout the hallways. Nang may nakita ako ay bumili agad ako ng dalawa. One is his usual brewed coffee and mine is cappuccino. Bumalik ako nang may bitbit na akong dalawang tasa ng kape. I looked at him and examine his firm and back. I let a sigh before
