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

Zebedee Glenn.I'm so tired. Why the hell did I even drink last night? It's not me. But then again, I had enough, and I needed to vent out, and drinking was the only way I could mend myself.Nang maimulat ko ang mga mata ay nasa parking lot na kami ng golf course. Nilingon ko si Erykah at inaayos niya ang buhok. Tinali niya itong mabuti. Hindi niya napansin na iilang segundo na akong nakatitig sa kanya.Erykah is somehow my solace. I don't know what kind of person she is, but she's capable of many things, and that makes her perfect in my eyes. She can do all the jobs that I want her to do. She can probably manage the firm if I'm not around, and that's what I need from her."Have you receive my schedule from the HR?" Pinutol ko ang pag-aayos niya at umayos na rin ako sa sarili. Tinangal ko ang seatbelt para makalabas na."Oh? Y-Yes, Sir. I got it last night," she smiled. She quickly stepped out."That's good. It's your job from now on. You can message me every day and send me a follow

Erykah Sunshine."So, that's how you know my name?" Malakas akong natawa nang malaman ko ito."Oo. I couldn't be bothered asking if I can go with you because you are fast. But then again, I caught you just in time."Napailing ako sa sarili habang nagmamaneho. Katabi ko lang siya. Ang akala ko ay may espiya ang mga mata niya, pero mali ako. Nalaman niya lang ang pangalan ko sa reception borrowing desk nang mag renta ako ng golf ECAR. Panghuli na raw itong akin at doon niya nabasa ang pangalan ko dahil nasa likod ko naman siya. Hindi ko siya napansin."Madalas ka bang naglalaro mag-isa?""Ngayon lang. Hindi sumipot ang dalawang kaibigan ko dahil abala sila sa mga anak niya. Kaya nag-iisa ako rito.""Aw…" Nginitian ko siya at saka ibinalik ko ang mga mata sa daan. "Then, you should have taken your girlfriend with you," suhesyon ko."I don't have one." Kinigat niya ang pang-ibabang labi. Nakita iyon ng mga mata ko."Pihikan ka siguro ano? Kung sa bagay hindi ka naman mauubusan. I'm sure

Zebedee GlennSorry.Business and business. That's all it was all about. It's boring.The food was served, and I ate quietly. I called Erykah earlier, and it's good that she found some friends around.I was actually worried about her. Iniwan ko kasi siya, dahil abala ako sa pakikisuyo kay Papa. I need to make the proper measurements to win back the project from Mr. Okinawa. I can't afford to lose it this time.Katabi ko si Saber, at walang humpay sa pagsasalita si Papa sa ama ni Saber. The conversation was smooth, but not for me. I tried not to get into their business, but it's impossible. With Saber beside me, it's hard to get away, and I wish time would run fast so that this useless trick of my father would end."Look at the two of you. I do hope things will work out this time."Tumikhim ako nang marinig nang magsalita ang ama ni Saber at tahimik lang din sa sarili. Sandaling natawa si Saber at halata na gusto niya ito."Kids are kids, kumpare. They can do whatever they want. I'm n

Erykah Sunshine.Certified heartless.Full moon ba mamayang gabi? Ba't ganun ang ugali? Ang hirap hulaan ng ugali ni Glenn. Ang buong akala ko kasi ay galit siya kanina, eh, parang wala lang naman iyon sa kanya.Inayos ko na lang ang mga natitirang damit ko at naglinis sa condo. Malinis na ang lahat, pero dahil nakikitira lang naman ako rito ay mas mabuting mag linis ulit. Bumili rin ako ng stock na pagkain na puwede kong maluto sa tuwing magugutom ako. Nag-stock rin ako ng mga paborito kong chi-chiria at iba pa.Sunday came, and there was nothing to do. I rang Nanay Mira because I was thinking of her, and everything is good on her part. Uuwi raw siya sa Mindanao sa susunod na linggo dahil kailangan. May sakit daw ang anak niya at ang walanghiyang asawa niya ay wala raw silbe, dahil nagkakasakit daw ang mga bata. Hindi nga siya masaya, dahil pera na naman daw ang po-problemahin niya, pero dahil nakaipon na siya ng konti, ay napagpasyahan niyang umuwi nalang at magsimula ng panibagon

Erykah Sunshine.Pakiramdam ko pagod na ang araw dahil walang katapusan ang dalawang araw na tambak sa trabaho. Minamadali ni Glenn ang lahat dahil tutulak na kaming Visayas sa mga susunod na araw.Glenn was serious. Cold and snob like usual. May napansin din ako sa kanya sa unang overtime namin. Hindi na niya suot ang wedding ring. Wala na ito sa kamay niya.When I got home that night, I felt disappointed, but I tend to think on the good side. We are not in a serious relationship, and everything was agreed upon legally. There were no feelings involved. But why am I so affected?Hindi kaya ako nakatulog nang gabing iyon, dahil iniisip ko kung ano ang nasa isip niya. Gusto kong magtanong, pero wala ako sa sitwasyon magtanong sa kanya.Siguro okay na ulit sila ni Saber? Baka nga. Awkward naman kung may singsing siya sa kamay 'di ba? At ano pa ba ang papel ko kung ganun? Wala na.Huling araw na ito at bukas ay pa Visayas na kami. Maaga ako ngayon sa opisina dahil gusto kong matapos ang

Zebedee Glenn."Glenn, it seems like you really want to keep her. What else could it be? Maybe you're developing feelings for Eres?"Halos mabilaukan ako sa ininom at napaubo ako sa sarili. "Dammit. It went the wrong way." I mumbled and wiped my mouth."Yeah, sure, it went the wrong way, Glenn," Bryce laughed at me."Unexpected love never comes easily on the right path. It always falls under the wrong line and happens unexpectedly. And before you know it, you are already under the spell of love.""What? Seriously?" I laughed hard. It's funny how Bryce interpreted my kindness.Erykah is now ni Basilica Verde down Visayas part. It is located across from where Diezel is temporarily hiding. The BV area is rich in ecology, and its surroundings are covered in thick forests. It's a preserve with no other inhabitants.There are villages down the main road, and the area is close to the sea.Kaya ko nagustuhan ang geography ng lugar ay maliban sa malawak ang lupain, ay malayo ito sa mga taong

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
