XV. A Delightful Breakfast
Last Updated:
2021-07-27 14:45:15Friday night Trisha was preparing to sleep and scanning her f******k account when she got a chat from Marsden. Ganito sila palaging nagcha-chat… kahit na ano lang ang topic, about their work and other nonsense. Bago lang din niya nalaman na may-ari pala si Marsden ng Construction and Engineering Company, Engineer din pala ito.
»Hey pretty! Whats up?
She laid in her bed and replied:
»Hey pretty!😝 Still getting prettier each day.
»Same here girlie.hahaha
»Hahahaha. Hey man how’s your day?
»I’m not going to reply until you call me handsome.
»(rolling my pretty eyeballs here)
»Com’on I’ve called you pretty (I’m sulking here)
Trisha laughed, para talaga itong bata.
»Okay fine Mr. Handsome, how’s your day?
»Yeeh! I won!
»👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻you’re such a baby
»Hahahaha. loser! I’m fine, medyo busy sa office kaya dito ako sa condo natulog.
»Have you eaten yet?
»Are you going to cook for me if I havent?
»Lucky much!
»Ouch! It hurts, I really missed your cooking
»Hahaha…Well, you can eat here anytime you want. How about Wednesday night? Chloe and I have this tradition that we ate together every Wednesday night, youre very welcome to join us, unless of course you have a night life.
Trisha’s phone rang.
“Really? You’re inviting me?”
“Siyempre, I don’t wanna deprived you of my delicious cooking.”
He laughed. “ I don’t want to intrude in your girls’ night.”
“Ano ka ba, it is friends’ bonding and you’re my friend so you’re always welcome to join. Agreed? Wednesday night?”
“Agreed! I’ll put it in my schedule.”
Trisha yawned, “See you on Wednesday then, goodnight handsome!”
He chuckled “Goodnight gorgeous,” and the call ended. Trisha can’t help the itch creeping in her face with the words gorgeous uttered by Marsden, made her heart to skip a beat.
Kaumagahan Trisha was preparing breakfast nang may kumatok sa pinto. Nang buksan niya ito, Marsden was there broadly smiling, dimples and all. Prepared na ito patungong trabaho wearing a blue striped white shirtsleeve that was folded baring his well muscled arms.
Sexy. Naibulong niya sa sarili.
“Good morning!”
“Good morning!”
“Hmmm…smells good. Made me hungry,” turan nito nang sundan siya sa kitchen.
Umupo ito sa table and looked at her while she cooked. Nang maluto ang itlog, she placed it in front of him at nagtoast ng bread. Nagluto rin siya ng hotdog at nagsimula na silang kumain. Hindi ito ang unang beses na sabay silang magbreakfast. Minsan pagkagaling nito sa isang malaking park upang magjogging na nagkataong malapit sa village nila, dito ito nag-aalmusal and they always ate comfortably.
“Do you have plans for tomorrow?” tanong nito nang matapos nguyain ang malaking chunk ng bread with hotdog and egg.
“Wala, pero may nabili akong bagong libro and I planned to read it tomorrow for the whole day. Bakit?”
“Well, my friends wanted to give me a welcome party and I wanted you to come with me.”
“Ayoko nga!” Hindi siya sanay makihalubilo ng ibang tao, especially hindi niya kakilala. And looking at Marsden tiyak na ang mga friends nito mga upper class.
“Com’on Trish, I need you there! Please…” Kinuha nito ang kamay niya na nakapatong sa mesa. “You’re like a talisman, you always calmed me.”
Trisha bit her lower lip and played with it with her teeth. Marsden suddenly let go and he continued eating with gusto. Naguguluhan si Trishang nagpatuloy na rin ng pagkain.
“Okay, I’ll go. Okay lang ba talaga na kasama ako?”
“Siyempre naman. I can bring whomever I want. If I wanted to bring all the animals I saw in the street, they don’t have any choice…I’m the main guest,” pagyayabang nito with a smirk.
“Ang lakas naman ng hangin, yabang ah!” aniyang natatawa pa rin. “Gawin mo kaya,” pabirong mungkahi niya dito.
“Brilliant idea! It could pissed them off…you’re very smart,” papuri nito sa kanya.
She laughed and thrown a tidbit of egg na nahulog kanina nang ipinalaman niya ito sa kanyang toasted bread.
Natatawa itong umilag. “That’s bad!”
Tinaman pa rin ito sa balikat. Mabuti na lang at hindi ito nagmantsa. Inirapan niya ito at ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain. “Ayaw kong sumama sa’yo. Madadamay pa ako sa kalokohan mo. I’m a good girl.”
“Kaya nga kailangan kita eh. You inspire me to behave,” he said with a lapsided smile.
“Okay talo na ako. I’ll go so promise me you’ll behave.”
“Cross my heart and hope to–” natigilan ito “–live!” saad nito.
Natatawa na lamang si Trisha at tinapos ang pagkain. “Ewan ko sa’yo.”
Nang matapos na silang kumain nag-offer si Marsden na ihatid siya sa trabaho. Ito pala ang may-ari ng Zion Engineering and Construction Company na isa rin sa mga malalaking kompanya na ang main office ay nasa Business Center din just around the corner from their office.
Nagmamadali siyang nagbihis at lumulan sa sasakyan nito. She made herself comfortable at medyo kinakabahan dahil ito ang unang pagkakataon na ihahatid siya nito. It’s already more than a month after she and Drake broke up. Kilala ng mga kaibigan si Marsden in name only dahil hindi pa niya ito napapakilala ng personal.
“Oi Mars, tama na siguro ‘yong pa-Pixies mo. Nasasanay na kasi ang mga kaibigan ko,” pati na rin ako and I shouldn’t have. “At tsaka lumalaki na ‘yong tummy ko,” sabay tapik sa tiyan.
He chuckled. “Okay.”
“Ang dali mo namang kausap. Pwede rin naman once every three months,” aniyang nangingiti. Siyempre Pixies Delights ‘yon. Kung sa gadget pa, parang Apple, high in.
Natawa ito. “Fine, pwede rin naman once a month.”
“’Wag na! Masyadong magasto. Alam ko mayaman ka but still, enough na ‘yong makatikim kami once every three months diba,” pangungumbinsi niya dito.
“Fine! By the way it’s a beach party,” anito tungkol sa pupuntahan nila bukas.
“I like beaches, lalo na ngayon ay ssumme.” She’s excited kahit na medyo kinakabahan dahil finally makikilala na niya ang mga kaibigan nito.
“You’ll love it there, it’s a private place you can swim to your heart’s content.”
Sandaling natigilan si Trisha dahil sa isip niya tiyak na mga sophisticated ang mga kaibigan nito…siguro mga modelo at mga sexy. Hindi siya sanay magbikini kung kasama ang ibang tao. She was blushing and fixed her attention outside the window of the car. Marsden will see her in a bikini. Naalala niya tuloy ‘yong time na lasing na lasing siya and he undressed her making her blush even more.
“Thank you. Ingat!” aniya nang pababa na ng sasakyan sa harapan ng building nila.
“See you tomorrow,” saad nito bago tuluyang umalis papunta sa opisina nito.
Nang naghihintay si Trisha na bumaba ang elevator sa ground floor ay nagulat siya nang may biglang humawak sa mga braso niya.
“Oh my God Trisha!” kinikilig na turan ni Abby. “Is that him?” pabulong nito nang may dumating na sasakay din ng elevator.
“Yup!” Bumukas na ito at magkasabay silang lumulan dito.
Pinigilan muna ni Abby ang curiousity dahil maraming mga tsismosa sa paligid.
Ngunit nang makarating na sila sa kanilang opisina sunud-sunod ang tanong nito. Maaga pa kaya naman silang dalawa pa lamang ang tao dito.
“Ano, naglevel-up na ba? Hah?” kinikilig nitong tanong.
“Ano bang pinagsasabi mo, kaibigan lang talaga kami.” Sinimulan na niya ang pag-on ng kanyang computer.
“Sayang naman. So aside from the chocolates, hatid-sundo ka na rin?”
“Nagkataon lang na nadaanan niya ako sa bahay. At tsaka wala pa akong planong magboyfriend. Focus muna ako sa trabaho,” pangungumbinsi niya dito.
Totoong ayaw niya muna ng relationship ngayon but it doesn’t mean that she already gave up on love. She just wanted to prepare herself when the right man comes along.
“Sige na nga! Oi dalahin mo siya sa birthday ni Jay hah para naman makilala namin.”
“I was actually planning to.”
“Good girl!” at nagsimula na rin itong magtrabaho.
Next week pa ang birthday ni Jay. She was already planning to invite him para naman makilala rin ng mga kaibigan. Sana available ito. Minsan nakakalimutan niyang isa itong CEO ng sarili nitong kompanya at partly owner din dahil half-brothers nito ang current chairman at director ng White Marz Hotel. Napakadown to earth at humble kasi nito. Hindi rin maarte at iginiit rin nito sa kanya na siya pa rin ‘yong Marsden na kaibigan nila noon. Nang malaman niya na ganito kataas ang status nito medyo nag-alangan siya sa pakikipagkaibigan dito. Ngunit, naalala niya ang batang lalaki na palaging nasa bahay nila dahil palagi itong mag-isa. ‘Yong batang naglalaro sa kalsada, pinagpapawisan, naiinitan. ‘Yong batang walang kiming kumain ng mumurahing gum na binigay niya dito. Natawa siya nang may maalala–‘yong Marsden na sarap na sarap ang kain kahit na anong lutuin niya. Naisip niya hindi hadlang ang pagiging mayaman nito sa pagkakaibigan nila.
Hindi siya sigurado kung ang mga kaibigan nito ay tulad kay Marsden. She might not belong to their circle, they might not like her but she will be there to support him because she knew he needed it.

Hinihintay ni Marsden si Trisha sa loob ng sasakyan while searching a good music on his phone to play in the car radio. Nang marinig niya ang pagsirado ng pinto ay napalingon siya dito. Natigilan siya nang makita ang papalapit na kaibigan. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin niya mapigilang humanga sa ganda nito. She radiated light in every turn and Marsden can’t stop the sudden sensation caressing his heart. She wore a yellow floral beach minidress. It surrounded her like a petal in bloom. He was attracted to her. No matter how he refused to admit it, the attraction lingered there whenever their together. Remembering their almost kiss and the urge to kiss her yesterday when he saw her playing with her lip took a lot of his self control. He sighed. I needed to date, and fast. She’s a friend Marsden, always remember that. Paalala niya sa kanyang sarili. “Hey!” Umupo na ito sa passenger seat at ibi

Natatawa na lamang si Max sa dalawa. “She’s cool,” lumapit sa kanya si Elise. “Yeah, she makes him laugh.” “You knew her?” “Just an acquaintance, I knew his ex-boyfriend. Why all the questions Elise?” tanong ni Max with a mischievous smile. “Nothing! I’m just curious, they looked good together. Do you honestly believe na wala talagang namamagitan sa kanila?” curious na saad ni Elise. She was itching to know because if this girl was the one who could break Marsden’s wall then she wanted to make sure she was worth it. Max thought of the picture and mysteriously said. “I don’t know but it’s for them to find out and for us to wait patiently dear,” sabay tapik sa pisngi ni Elise at tuluyan ng umalis para magpahinga sa sarili niyang kwarto…he was also travel weary. Max knew Trisha had already cracked the outer shell Marsden had built to protect himself from the hurt again. Hopefully

Gabi na at nakaupo ang mga babae sa dalampasigan sa harapan ng rest house at nakapalibot sa isang maliit na campfire. Panay ang tanong ni Elise tungkol sa kanya na sinasagot naman niya at minsan naman ay nagtatawanan kapag may ikinikwento si Myrtelle na ginawa ng kapatid sa current girlfriend nito. Magkatabi sila ni Elise. “So Trisha, you’re an Accountant?” tanong ni Rheanne. Medyo nagulat siya nang magsalita ito, hindi niya akalain na papansinin siya nito. She talked to everyone but her. “I’m a Junior Accountant at Lucian Group,” nakangiting sagot niya dito. Nakita niya ang slight grin nito, warning her to be cautious with her before the attack. “So you were just an accounting staff?” saad nito at ngumiti kay Myrtelle when she silently laughed at the insult. “Rhey!” saway ni Suzette. “I am an accounting staff.” Trisha proudly said. “I am actually proud to be one.

Kinaumagahan nagmamadaling nag-ayos at naghanda ng gamit si Trisha dahil napatagal ang kanyang paggising. Madaling araw na nang dalawin siya ng antok. “Naku naman ba’t ba hindi mo ako ginising Mars, nakakahiya,” nasabi niya ng ayusin ang higaan. Ngunit bigla siyang natigilan nang maalala ang narinig kagabi. She decided to act normal right now and talk to him about it later kaya nang matapos ay dumiretso na siya sa kitchen kung saan narinig niya ang magiliw na kwentuhan ng mga kasama. “Good morning Trish!” masayang bati sa kanya ni Suzette nang makita siyang nakatayo sa may pintoan. Naggood morning din ang iba nang lingunin siya. Siyempre maliban kina Rheanne at Myrtelle. “Good morning! Pasensya na napasarap ang tulog ko.” Dumiretso siya sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ni Marsden. “Good morning!” bulong nito sa kanya while grinning. “Don’t worry, kakagising lang din namin.” He poured a hot coffee sa cup niya at nagpat

“Oy bakla, anong gusto mong regalo bukas?” tanong ni Abby kay Jay nang ibinigay niya ang hinihingi nitong documents. “Oy beshie bakit reregaluhan mo ako?” excited nitong tanong. “Bakit naman kita bibigyan, ano ako mayaman?” pag-iinis niya. “Umalis ka nga sa harapan ko. Bruhang to paasa.” Tumawa si Abby. “Hindi seryoso talaga, ano bang gusto mong mataggap bukas?” “’Yong boylet mong kasama noong sabado sa mall pwede?” “Sira! Pinsan ko ‘yon. He’s a Noli Me Tangere sis. Touch Me Not, okay?” “Ay sige na nga. Actually ‘yong tab ko sira na eh ginagamit ko pa naman ‘yon sa pag-aaral ko.

Kinahapunan ay dumiretso na sila sa bahay nina Abby na kapitbahay nina Jay. Doon sila nagbihis at nag-ayos samantalang si Brix naman ay nauna na kina Jay dala-dala ang kanilang regalong external drive na pinagtulungan nilang bilhin. Panay ang sulyap ni Trisha sa kanyang phone habang nakaupo sa mahabang supa. Hindi pa natatapos sina Abby at Joyce sa pag-aayos. “So, darating ba si Marsden?” tanong sa kanya ni Analie na katabi niyang nakaupo sa mahabang supa. “Hindi eh,” pilit siyang ngumiti dito. Ayaw niyang magsinunghaling sa rason kung bakit hindi ito makakapunta kaya naman hindi na niya ipinaliwanag pa ang dahilan. “Sayang naman, we’re looking forward to meet him. Oy! Pasensya Trish pero nacurious ako eh…ang gwapo pala ng Marsden mo. Celebrity!” kinikilig nitong tapik sa balikat niya. Hindi nga naman niya naisip na celebrity ito.

Nag-undertime siya sa trabaho upang makausap si Marsden at pasalamatan sa pagbibigay nito ng regalo kay Jay. Nang siya ay papunta na sa reception at the ground floor hindi niya maiwasang magworry kung ano ang magiging reaksyon nito kapag nakita siya. She wanted to thank him personally and perhaps to say sorry for the ultimatum. They might not see each other again but atleast they separated in a good way. “Yes Ma’am?” tanong sa kanya ng magandang receptionist. “Nand’yan ba si Mr. Hernandez?” aniya. “May appointment po ba kayo?” “Wala pero–“ “Pasensya na po ma’am hindi po kasi pwede kung walang appointment.” “Importante lang talaga ma’am,” pakiusap niya dito. “He knew me, baka pwedeng itawag mo muna?” Nagdadalawang isip ang receptionist mabuti na lamang at paglipas ng ilang saglit ay kinuha nito

After a while, she raised her head, blew her nose with her handkerchief and looked at him. He wiped a drop of tear upon her lip. “What happened?”“It’s because of me…it’s my fault, I killed an innocent child Mars.”“What are you talking about?”She retold Chelsea’s accusations and it angered him.“Nothing happened that night, I just let him kiss me to show him I don’t feel anything anymore, to have a closure, for him to leave me alone.”“Hey, hey, listen to me,” gently palming her cheeks with both hands. “It’s not your fault, it was an accident.”“I know, yet I’m so afraid…what if karma befell me. I know I shouldn’t because God won’t be that cruel pero kasalanan pa rin ‘yun. She lost her child because of me, because I let Ash kissed me that night. I have the choice to stop it but I didn’t–““And what are you afraid of? That someday it will also happen to you?” Napansin niyang natigilan ito. “We all have our sins Trish and what you think you’ve done is not even your fault at all.
Be Officially Mine LVII. Inescapable Guilt
It’s been a week since Trisha heard Chelsea’s reason for hating her and no matter how much she tried to be optimistic and stop herself from feeling guilty, she can’t. Because she was there, and Ash did kissed her and she let him, to show him that she’s not affected anymore, there’s no spark, that things have changed for months of being apart after she transferred to a public school. And also to close their relationship properly, to say goodbye, so Ash would stop those childish acts that forced her to come to him. Chloe was in Davao with her boss and Marsden was in Bacolod to close a big deal. She missed him so badly especially now that she’s feeling down. They talked over the phone yet being together physically is different. She can’t eat properly, she can’t even sleep for fearing of the nightmare that came to her that night after she and Chelsea talked. She woke up crying, feeling the pain of losing someone, her heart cried and ache for someone. Her baby, her own baby. Most
Be Officially Mine LVI. Hatred Justified?
Weeks passed and Marsden and Trisha enjoyed every moment spent with each other. They read books together, do joggings together at the park Marsden usually do joggings. Marsden stayed with her in her apartment, together they went to the office and when Marsden needed to extend his time at work, he always asked Gareth, one of his trusted employees to drive her home using Marsden’s car.Trisha knew her friends noticed the change in their relationship but she always denies it. They both agreed to keep it secret and asked Chloe and Rudy to do the same. In the eyes of the others who knew them both they were just friends. Wala rin namang malaking pagbabago dahil sanay narin ang mga kaibigan na palagi siyang hinahatid at sinusundo ni Marsden pero siguro dahil na rin sa effort nitong mahatid siya araw-araw, at sa mga chocolates na dumarating, pati na rin sa mga pagkain kapag nag-oovertime sila kaya naman minsan iba ang ngiti ni Jay sa kanya.Everyday, waking up with Marsden was like livin
Be Officially Mine LV. Lovers
When Trisha woke up the next morning, she felt like someone who had finally woken up from sleeping for years. She just lay there and closed her eyes again to thanks God for this another day. Last night she thought it would be her last or if not, Arnel would definitely left her devastated and surely ruined. She wanted to cry again, not of fear this time but thankful and relieved to have her guardian angels. “Marsden,” she whispered as his face appeared on her consciousness. She can’t stop the blush traveling over her face as she remembered something else that happened last night. Naitakip niya ang mga palad sa mukha as the events played before her eyes. Feeling giddy for the words he’d uttered and guilty, definitely guilty for sleeping on him. When finally she decided to clean up and went down to the kitchen, her stomach growled with the delicious smell coming from there. Trisha thought him gone but she heard his voice singing along with the music on his phone. Nakita niyang b

Jade was calling Arnel for the hundredth time but it’s always out of coverage. She was anxious to know what happened and even excited to hear her enemy’s downfall. A sly grin slowly appeared over her face. Finally, if Trisha get devastated and change her positivity, Jade’s beloved Ash wouldn’t like the bitch anymore, and she will have him for good. Finally! Finally! But the bastard Arnel can’t be reached and it’s disturbing her nerves. She was about to leave and go to the bar where Arnel wasn’t banned when someone knocked on her bedroom door repeatedly. Her dad is in congress and her mom visited her friends. Who could it be? “I’m coming, I’m coming,” aniyang naiinis at padabog na binuksan ang pinto. “A-Ash!” Jade was a little bit shocked to see him and a sudden burst of anxiety dwells in her rapidly beating heart. What if Ash realized what she’d done? But he looked calm, maybe he is here to ask her out. She pasted her sweetest smile. “Hey, come in.” She led him to her sof

“We should terminate the contract to avoid being caught up with his illegal deeds,” Marsden said in anger. “But sir–“ “Your department is the one whose responsibility is to check the credibility of the people we get into contract with. How come, that this problem is here now taunting our patience.” He looked at their eyes one by one. “Don’t make me caught you receiving commissions from our clientele just for their papers to pass the screening.” They just looked down and received his scolding. This is a serious matter. These men are in the company even when his grandfather was still the chairman. He trusted their loyalties but someone is surely having his loyalty bought. “Sir!” bulong ni Hans sa kanya. “Nasa office mo si Trisha at Drew.” Napangiti siya nang marinig ang pangalan ni Trisha pero nagulat siya ng marinig na kasama nito si Drew. Worriedly, he excused himself at pumunta sa kanyang opisina. He saw Drew outside of his office. He was angry and worried while Drew re

“Mag-oovertime ako ngayon, I have a deadline which I think, is impossible to meet.” Kausap ni Trisha sa cellphone si Rudy nang tumawag ito habang papasok siya ng rest room sa kanilang floor. “I already explained it to her, pero hindi siya nakikinig and after the meeting she just left. I’m so sorry Ruds, pati ikaw nadadamay sa mga kalokohan ko.” “Ano ka ba, sumabay ka na sa boyfriend mo…ako na ang bahala sa sarili ko at tsaka minsan lang nga kayo magkatime, aayaw ka pa.” After assuring him she’s okay kahit na hindi siya masusundo nito mamaya, in.off na niya ang cellphone at ibinulsa sa kanyang blazer. Habang naghuhugas ng kamay, naisip ni Trisha ang meeting kanina. Thankfully, hindi siya late dahil every detail ng meeting ay importante. To start, Chelsea was having an indefinite leave. Unfortunately, as Chelsea is leaving, the staff are required to finish monthly reports this week and other necesarry reports for their new boss. Trisha handles four large branches and it’s defin

“God! She’s killing me!” Marsden whispered to himself when he got inside his car. It’s getting harder to control himself around her. He wanted to give in, he wanted to feel her, embraced her, wrapped himself with her heat. But his mind, the one who keeps on reminding him of his promise not to let his heart rule again over his head, waking him like a drench of cold water. He snorted with the thought that she wanted to learn flirting. She’s already a killer and he’s not sure if he can survive the next time. He tried to keep it cool, everytime this crazy attraction pulls him like a magnet and every day gets harder and harder to resist. Tomorrow, he should tell Trisha to stop what she feels because he doesn’t feel the same, such a big lie. He should stop this and if being far from her is the only solution then he had no other choice. ‘*** “Teka, ang aga pa ata nangangapitbahay ka na?” aniya
Be Officially Mine L. My New Neighbor
Days passed and Trisha and Marsden renewed their friendship. Eating together at breakfast and sometimes at dinner. But one thing that change is that he never sleepover anymore. Even when the rain never stop pouring, he always had reasons to go. Sometimes it makes Trisha laugh to think he was afraid that she would lose into temptation and ravish him at night. But then, reality also makes her sad that even though their friendship was returned, he was still careful and maybe just trying to spare her feelings…he might not have directly told her to stop but she felt how much he avoided her failed flirtations. It was not easy really, because Trisha don’t know how to flirt. With her previous relationships, she wasn’t actually into flirting, was not motivated or doesn’t have the chance or maybe theirs were different with how she felt with Marsden. However, she is quiet enjoying it. Everytime he looked at her in a way that to
