What the heck? Oh, my goodness!

I can't believe I agreed to this type of agreement. I never in my wildest dream would someone, a stranger, for instance, come to me and offer me this type of setting out of the blue.

Nanginig ang tuhod ko nang makalabas sa gusali na kung nasaan ang penthouse niya. Napahawak ako sa dibdib at humugot nang malalim na hininga.

Wala na si Glenn. Nauna na siyang umalis dahil may tumawag na kliyente sa kanya. Babalikan niya raw ako mamaya at dito kami magkikita sa penthouse niya.

I don't need to go back to the office anymore as he will not be around there. He doesn't want me to accompany him to meet this new client because he wants me to pack all my things and move them to his place.

This is insane. It's too fast, but I have no choice. I know this is crazy, but it is temporarily the solution to my problem.

It's been months since I left home without knowing what was happening there. I don't want to know about them because I know my stepmother

    Erykah Sunshine.Nerve crackling. . . este, wracking.Nanginginig ang tuhod ko at sadyang pinigilan ko lang ito. Peke akong ngumiti sa mga magulang niya, at malamig pa sa ice candy silang lahat makatingin sa akin.I cleared my throat and glanced at Glenn beside me.Naghahanap ako ng kakampi, pero mukhang wala akong maasahan kay Glenn. Dahil katulad din siya ng mga magulang niya. . . malalamig sila.Maraming pagkain at ang sasarap nito. Pero hindi ako matutunawan sa gabing ito. Puno ng kaba ang puso ko at ang katahimikan nila ay dumadagdag lang sa pag-aalala ko ngayon."How did the two of you meet?" Cheska asked. I didn't expect that it was coming from her. I anticipated Glenn's parents would ask me that, but I was wrong."Uhm, we-we meet in New York," pekeng ngiti ko. Nakatitig ako kay Glenn, dahil siya naman ang katabi ko, pero mukhang wala siyang narinig. Panay lang ang pag-subo niya at ganoon din ang mga magulang niya."New York? I see. . . That's explained why kuya always go over

    Erykah Sunshine."It's not Singapore but Hong Kong," I corrected.Napaigting ang panga niya habang nakatitig ng husto sa akin. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa labi ko."Okay, Hong Kong.""Yes," I mumbled and looked away. It was a minute of silence, and my mind was totally blank. I was close to telling him that we should stop this madness, but now? It's getting insane."Glenn?" Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa kanya. "Let's think about it first. I-I mean, getting married is not a joke. I don't know your plan, and I don't understand why you're doing this. If you are doing this to prove that you have moved on with your feelings from Saber, then don't do it. . . This is not right."Ayaw kong isipin niya na opurtunista ako. Oo, desperado na ako ngayon, at tama lang ang dating ni Glenn sa buhay ko para masolusyonan ang problema ko sa madrasta ko. Pero hindi parin tama ito.Marriage is sacred. It should be performed when two people are in love, which is not our case.He looked away and sighed.Gwapo si

    ButterfliesZebedee Glenn."The hell, Glenn. What are you thinking, bro? Is this the best solution you could offer to your parents' needs?" Diezel looked at me in dismay.I shut my eyes and rested my back on the recliner. I'm not listening to him anymore. I'm so tired today. My mother knows what's happening. Matalino si Mama at hindi ko siya masisisi sa mga bagay na ganito. Iba nga lang si Papa. Okay lang sa kanya ang kung ano, basta meron.That's how easy my father is."You are lucky to have such a cool father."Naupo si Diezel sa isa pang recliner sa tabi ko. Isinandal ang likod at pareho na kaming nakatitig sa madilim na langit.Diezel was right. My father was cool and was opposite to my mother."Anong sabi ni tita?""Ayaw niya. She's against Erykah," sagot kong nakapikit ang mga mata."Can't blame tita for that. She likes Saber for the family. Why can't you go back with her? I heard the engagement was call-off."My jaw tightened. I'm not listening to Diezel again. I'm a man in my

    Erykah Sunshine.UnlikeableWhen we arrived at our hotel, which was close to the building of our appointment, it was chilly. Glenn reserved a family suite for us, but we had separate rooms.I was exhausted, but I managed to wake up early and prepare a light breakfast. Today is the big day, and I'm already feeling anxious.May pagkain naman sa hotel at nasa baba ito, sa dining area, pero mukhang hindi yata ako makakain nang maayos dahil sa magaganap.I understand that this is only an artificial reality, and no emotions are involved. Although it will be legal in this country to perform the marriage, I don't think it will become legal in the Philippines unless Glenn will file our marriage to immigration.Wala na akong problema sa ganoon. Okay na ako sa set up na pinag-usapan namin ni Glenn. Walang malinaw na halaga pagdating sa pera dahil hindi naman namin pinag-usapan ito.The only agreement we had was that I would become his secret wife for his needs, and he would provide everything f

    Zebedee Glenn.The ceremony ended quickly. I managed to secure the right ring sizes for her finger and mine. Diezel signed the documents, and they were processed quickly. Before I knew it, I was holding it now in my hand. I then send the document scan to Xavion for the files to keep in the Mondragon OFS.'Congratulations. Let me know if you plan to marry again in the Philippines. I'll make sure all the boys will be present. When you return from your honeymoon, we will have the traditional ceremony. We'll be waiting.'Napailing ako nang mabasa ang sagot ni Xavion sa email ko."There is no next to this wedding, and that's for sure. As for the tradition, I will ask the boys to keep it. I don't need it anyway.""You can't say no to the boys, Glenn. That's bad manners." Diezel snorted behind me. He is now holding a beer in hand. "Cheers!" He drank.Umikot ang tingin ko at hinanap si Eres.Nasa isang pribadong resto kami. Diezel reserved the whole place as a token gift and I didn't know th

    Erykah SunshineUninterested.'You may now kiss your bride, groom.'I was confident that it would be okay. After all, Glenn is not my first kiss. Naibigay ko na ang unang halik ko sa unang naging boyfriend ko noon. Hindi na virgin ang labi ko, pero hindi ko inakala na makakaramdam ako nang ganun.I smiled at him and nod so that he could kiss me. Okay lang dahil asawa ko na siya at dapat masanay ako sa mga ganitong eksena.Gaya nga ng sinabi niya noong nakaraang araw, ay baka may mga eksena na hindi na siya magpapaalam sa akin sa kung ano ang gagawin niya, lalo na kung nasa paligid namin ang mga magulang niya.Glenn's jaw tightened, and when his eyes came down to my lips, I smiled, and the unexpected happened.Our first kiss.I never thought I would feel this hot and tingly. It was a breakthrough, and all the butterflies inside my stomach flew out.Stupid, self.At imbes na itakip ang bibig ko ay mas lalong diniin ko lang ang labi ko sa kanya para matikman siya nang maayos. Masarap si

    Zebedee GlennPain.What a load of bullshit."You can't work on it, Glenn. Mr. Okinawa didn't sign the contract today. He is not convinced. I guess we will have to take a different approach next time. I don't want to lose this client. This is a big project, and I don't want the Amantes to get it. "You have to do something to meet their demands!" Umalingawgaw ang boses ni Papa sa buong silid at napakuyom kamao ako sa sarili.I got home to this. I was hoping I could close the deal, but it was a disaster. Mr. Okinawa wasn't happy with what the legal team presented. They missed two things, and one was the most crucial on the list.Dianne told me about it already, but I chose to ignore that because I was confident that I could still win over the bidding project. Dammit. It was a mistake."What are you going to do about it, Glenn? Mr Okinawa gives us a week. You better fix this. We can't afford to lose this project. The entire Monde Firm's name is on the line, son. You better act now!" h

    Erykah Sunshine."Hey, are you okay?" Parang robot ang kamay ko at basta-basta nalang itong umangat at hinaplos ang gilid ng mukha niya. Pinakiramdam ko siya, at inamoy na rin."You're drunk?" I twisted my lips.He slightly laughed. "Just a little bit, Eres. I'm sorry." He slid himself inside and walked past me.Sinunod ko siya nang tingin at saka sinarado ang pinto. Sa kusinang bahagi siya dumiretso at binuksan ang magarbong refrigerator at kumuha siya ng malamig na tubig. Mabilis ang pag inom niya nito.Nagtungo agad ako sa bathroom at kumuha ng extrang face towel sa drawer roon, at nag martsa ako pabalik sa kung nasaan siya."Here. What's wrong?"Hindi na muna niya tinangap ang face towel at niluwagan lang niya ang sarili.He unbuttoned his polo shirt and removed it in front of me. He was wearing a singlet underneath, and immediately, my gaze was drawn to his chest."Akin na." Kinuha ko sa kamay niya ang polo at ang kasunod na ginawa niya ay nagpakaba sa dibdib ko, kaya tumalikod

    Brielle.I look at the blue sea sadly, feeling uncomfortable at the moment, trying to make everything alright.Gusto kong manatili kami ni tiya rito, para pagkabalik ni Morris ay nandito pa rin ako. Nagdadalawang isip na tuloy ako ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung tutuloy pa ba kami sa paglilipat ni tiya sa malayong isla na iyon.Ibinaon ko ang paa sa buhangin at ramdam ko ang lamig nito sa ilalim. Nilingon kong muli si Morris mula sa karagatan.Malayo siya, at hindi ko na halos makita."Inomin mo muna ito, anak." Inilagay ni tiya ang malamig na inomin na gawa niya. At kasama na ang kay Morris."Salamat, tiya." Tinikman ko agad ito, at ibinalik ko lang ang mga mata ko sa kung nasaan na si Morris ngayon. Tahimik ako at panag ang pagbuntonghininga sa sarili."Babalik na ako sa tindahan," aniya. Hindi ako kumibo at tulala pa rin habang pinagmasdan si Morris."Mamimiss mo ano?"Ang akala ko ay umalis na si tiya… hindi pa pala. Nilingon ko siya at katulad ko, ay nakatingin din pala siya kay Morr

    Brielle.Busog ako at masaya. Nagpahinga na si tiya at naiwan kami ni Morris na gising pa. Maaga pa naman, at alam ni tiya na sa bahay ni Morris ako matutulog ngayon. Kaya inayos ko muna ang lahat, para wala na siyang iisipin pagkagising niya bukas.Mahigpit ang hawak ni Morris sa kamay ko, at panay naman ang ngiti ko habang tanaw na ang treehouse. Huminto kaming pareho, at saka dumampi ang labi niya sa likod ng kamay ko na hawak niya. "I'll be missing you, Bree…" Humarap siya sa akin, at saka hinaplos ang gilid ng mukha ko."And I will miss you too, Morris…" Pinalupot ko agad ang mga kamay ko sa leeg niya at saka hinalikan siya.With both of our eyes shut, we kissed. . . It was majestic. Nakakatawa ang hitsura namin pareho. Para kaming mga teenager rito. We kissed, hugged, laughed and kissed again. Morri's jokes were not funny at all. Kahit pa anong jokes ang sabihin niya ay hindi nakakatawa ito dahil hindi bagay sa hitsura niya. Kaya heto, tudo tawa ako.Morris is also not romant

    Morris."Ilang linggo ka sa Italya? Buwan ba? Taon?"Glenn grimaced as he looked at me with never-ending questions. I shook my head, sipping the light champagne.It must be my last family dinner for I am going to go back to Italy in the next few days.“I will be back before you know it, Glenn.”He laughed a little bit.“I will keep an eye on your woman if you want.”I chuckled as I looked at his wife below."Brielle is fine. She's easy and she'll never go anywhere. Hindi naman siya katulad ng napangasawa mo ngayon. Mukhang palaban ang misis mo."“A little bit. She’s stubborn, but I can handle her.”"Sinusuban ang pasensya mo ano? In that case, I will not bother you to keep an eye on Brielle. I trust her,” I proudly said, and it was his turn to chuckle.“So, are you going back into business again?”I know Glenn is worried, but everything is okay with my business abroad. Iyon nga lang may mga bagay na sadyang naiiba sa kalakaran, at alam na niya kung ano ang mga ito.My father knew abo

    Brielle.I couldn't sleep, ending up staring at him while he was asleep.Noon, hindi ako naniniwala sa pag-ibig. Wala akong alam kung ano ang nagagawa nito sa buhay ng isang tao. Marami akong tanong tungkol sa pagmamahal, at nang hindi ko makuha ang tamang sagot ay kinalimutan ko na ang mga ito.Si tiya lang ang mahalaga sa akin noon. Siya lang ang pamilya ko. Siya lang ang kinikilala kong ina. Pero nang dumating si Morris sa buhay ko, ay nagbago ang pananaw ko sa pangalang 'pag-ibig'.I suddenly feel a weird desire, longing, and love for him. I want to be with him. I can't be at peace without seeing him. I want to sleep and wake up beside him. I want him to be a part of me. I want him with me forever… I know I'm selfish at times, but… that's me.Pero hindi naman ako bulag. Alam ko ang pangako namin ni Morris sa isa't-isa. Pumayag ako sa gusto niya, dahil wala namang kasiguruhan ang buhay.I'm not a good person. I've done a lot of bad things, and I have a dark past that I've been try

    Brielle."You don't want us to go somewhere, Brielle. Why not? The weather is good, baby. Let's go out fishing.""No. I don't feel like fishing." Tumalikod ako kay Morris at saka nag-kunwaring abala sa lababo."Alright. So, when do you feel like fishing or swimming?""I don't know. . ." Kibit-balikat ko. Nilingon ko siya. Nakaupo siya at hawak ang mainit na kape sa kamay. Dapat sana ay pupunta siya sa kabilang Isla para mamalengke, pero pinigilan ko. Si Bleu ang gumawa nito. Inilipat ko ang gawain na ginagawa niya madalas sa amin ni tiya."Why don't we finish the project you started at your place?" I sweetly smiled and walked towards him.Nasa bandang likod na niya ako nakatayo at niyayakap siya."The tree house?""Oo... Hindi ba matagal mo na na gusto matapos iyon. Mas mabuting tapusin na natin bago ka bumalik ng Italy."Humawak siya sa kamay ko, at saka umikot ang tingin sa akin. Tumayo siya at nakatingala na ako ngayon sa kanya.Matangkad si Morris, at polido ang katawan. His broad

    Morris."How are you feeling, Nay?" I gazed at her with concern. Brielle hadn't shared the truth about yesterday's events, and I learned about it only from Nay Belen."Okay lang, dong. I'm good, oi. Why worried? I was having fun there, you know." Humalakhak si Nanay at napangiti ako."Nag-alala ako, Nay. . . You are no longer young to wander around on your own. So, please be very careful." I gave her a quick hug."Oo naman. . . Hindi ko pa pwedeng iwan si Brielle ano." She smirked at Brielle, and my darling Brielle looked worried at her.I moved to her side. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday? I could have helped," I whispered."Okay lang. Wala namang nangyari. Naka-uwi naman kami ng maayos dalawa ni Tiya." She placed the food she made on the table."Next time, please let me know first, Bree," I gritted my teeth. "I'm here. I should be the first person to know. And the first person you seek for help."We stared, and she nodded gently."Next time. I will seek you first before anything

    Brielle.Nakaraos din ang gabi at heto, tulala ako sa sarili.His mother and brother, Glenn, left about an hour ago. Morris and I stayed because this restaurant also provides overnight accommodations for those who wish to stay longer than a day.Hinintay ko lang na matapos si Morris sa banyo at ako na ang kasunod. Wala ako sa sarili kanina at pilit akong nakikisama sa ina niya.She asked many questions as if she were one of my teachers in school. She seemed classy, as she came from a good family, the Monteverde.Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na hindi basta-basta ang pamilya ni Morris. May pangalan siya. May pinangangalagaan. May sari-saring negosyo sa buong Asya at Amerika and mga magulang at kapatid niya. Si Morris lang ang naiiba at hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ang alam ko lang ay may negosyo rin naman siya sa Italya, pero hindi raw kalakihan ito. Hindi raw tulad ng kapatid niyang si Glenn at ng mga magulang niya."Are you alright?"I spun, and there he was, standing a few feet from me, a

    Morris."Just meet them. That's the only way. Glenn is doing everything he could. He is in a tight sport, Mors. Hindi ko ito sasabihin sa 'yo ngayon. Pero ginagawa ni Glenn ang lahat para sa 'yo. He might be heartless, but he loves you as his brother."I shut my eyes while listening to Reeve in the line. Wala siya rito at nasa Amerika. Pansamantala, ay si Glenn ang humahawak sa negosyo niya na nasa parehong Isla."I already gave Glenn the details, and your mother will be there. Meet them for once," he added.I gritted my teeth. "I hate the old man," I uttered under my breath."He is not around the country at the moment. It's a good opportunity, Mors. And with the deal Glenn made with your father, it saves you."I inhaled deeply and shook my head.That lunatic Glenn, really? How many times I told him not to worry about me. He needs to worry about himself first! Ang tigas ng ulo niya."I know what you're thinking, Morris. Glenn is your brother. You and him are the same, bro. Hard heade

    Brielle."All of the sudden? Akala ko ba hindi ka seryoso sa relasyon na ito? Hindi ba sinabi mo sa akin na wala kang maipapangako?" I looked at him, confused, thinking of the other way around. Excited ako, at kabog ang pintig ng puso ko habang dikit ang tingin ko sa mga mata niya. Napaigting siya, at nakuha ko agad ang ibig niyang sabihin.I sighed, feeling disappointed. "Okay lang, Morris. You don't have to force yourself to introduce me to your parents. I'm not ready for this." Inunahan ko na. I shook my head and turned away from him. I know I should be celebrating because most woman looks forward to this... To introduce them to the parents of the person they love. But Morris is different. We already had a deal. He doesn't want any lingering promises, and I don't like this. I don't want a commitment. Kahit pa sabihin na natin na sabik ako at gusto ko naman, ay puno naman ng pag-aalala ang puso ko. Kaya mas mabuting wala na."Hey, Bree. Listen to me." He followed me.I paused an
