Hindi alam ni Zaeia kung ano ba ang dapat niyang maramdaman. Baby is a blessing pero ngayon na mag-isa lang siya ay makakaya niya ba?
She promises to seek revenge on her sister, but how will she do so while carrying a kid in her womb?
Her parents' first affection was for her; it was just her sister who kept interrupting and ruining things. She wants to raise her child in a loving environment. She doesn't want her child to have to go through what she did. Her wish is for her child to live a happy life.
Napahawak siya sa kanyang puson habang umiiyak. Pinigilan niya ang sarili na umiyak dahil sa pagkakaalam niya ay bawal sa buntis ang umiyak o ma-stress.
‘Sorry baby, mommy will stop crying!’
She let out a sigh and slipped the pregnancy test into her pocket.
Napaisip siya kung sasabihin niya ba kay Duke na buntis siya ngunit sa huli, naalala niya ang pangako niya sa lalaki. Sinabi niya dito na hindi niya ito hahabulin kahit buntis siya. And for her, Duke isn't ready yet to have a baby.
Huminga siya ng malalim, hindi niya kailangan isipin ang lahat. She plans on raising the child on her own.
"Don't stress yourself, Zaeia! Kaya mo 'yan!" she whispered to herself.
She cleaned her face in the bathroom sink. She walked over to the mirror and stared herself in the eyes.
‘Duke, I'm sorry, but the baby is mine, and you'll never know I'm pregnant.’
Sa kabilang banda, nagkaroon ng kaguluhan sa mundo ng mga mayayamang tao na nagmamay-ari ng mga malalaking kompanya nang mabalitaan ng karamihan ang biglaan pagpapakasal ni Adonis at Kara.
Kara enjoys being in the limelight, and she was smirking in the mirror as she looked at herself in a white bridal gown. Their wedding cost Adonis one hundred million pesos.
Maraming nabigla dahil alam ng karamihan na ang dapat na magpapakasal ay si Adonis at Zaeia.
"Darling, congratulations!" nakangiting sabi ng Daddy ni Kara. She laughed.
Pagkatapos niyang makuha si Adonis sa kanyang kapatid, nagtagumpay siya! Mayaman si Adonis kaya hindi niya papayagan na mapunta si Adonis sa walang kwenta niyang kapatid.
‘I wish you were here, Zaeia! I'd like to see your distressed expression.’
Nagkunwari siyang nalulungkot. Nakita niya ang kanilang ina nila na nakangiti sa kanya ngunit malungkot ang mga mata nito.
She gritted her teeth. Naiinis pa rin siya kay Zaeia, hindi niya inaasahan na umalis ito.
"I wish Zaeia is here. Nalulungkot ako daddy kasi parang inagaw ko si Adonis sa kanya." Kunwari ay malungkot ang kanyang boses.
"Don't be. Hindi mo inagaw si Adonis sa kanya, darling," nakangiting sabi ng daddy niya. Niyakap siya nito at halos maluha pa ng makita si Kara na suot ang wedding gown nito.
"Pero kasi dad, maraming nagsasabi na inagaw ko raw si Adonis! Sana nandito si Zaeia para linisin ang pangalan ko!" maktol niya. Lumapit ang mommy niya sa kanya at hinaplos ang ulo niya.
Napapikit ang kanyang ina. She's guilty! Kinampihan niya si Kara kahit mali ito at inalisan siya ng anak niya sa huli.
"Enjoy your day! Huwag kang malungkot. Hindi natin hawak ang utak ng ibang tao. Be happy with Adonis." Nakangiting sabi ng mommy niya. Hindi niya alam kung ano ba ang dapat niyang maramdaman. Dapat ba siyang maging masaya dahil ikakasal na ang kanyang anak o dapat siya’y malungkot dahil nilayasan siya ng kanyang anak. Anak niya pa rin naman si Zaeia ngunit nasobrahan na yata siya sa pagkampi kay Kara.
She fixed her gaze on her husband. She's in pain. Nang ikakasal na sana si Zaeia at Adonis ay hindi naman ganito ang ekspresyon ng asawa niya.
Adonis kept his gaze fixed on his wristwatch. Nakarinig siya ng katok kaya napatingin siya sa pumasok sa kanyang kwarto.
Hindi pa ito nakaayos dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi siya makapaniwala na wala si Zaeia.
"Anong nahanap mo?" tanong niya sa lalaking pumasok sa kanyang kwarto.
"Sir, umalis po talaga si Ma'am Zaeia. Galing po siya ng airport ng nakaraan lang," sagot ng lalaki. Napakuyom siya.
"Get out!" galit na sigaw niya. Gusto niyang magwala, hindi niya pwedeng ihinto ang kasal nila ni Kara dahil lamang wala si Zaeia.
Napatingin siya sa kanyang damit pangkasal. Gusto niya ng punitin 'yon! Useless lang ang lahat kung hindi niya makikita na nasasaktan si Zaeia kapag ikinasal siya sa kapatid nito.
Kara was smirking again. Tuwang-tuwa siya ng makita ang inggit sa mga kapwa niya babae. Sinong hindi maiinggit sa kalagayan niya ngayon?
"Congratulations, Kara!" nakangiting sabi ng iba. She smiled.
‘Girls, don't be jealous! Gosh.’
Gusto niya magyabang ngunit hindi niya magawa. Isa siyang inosente sa mata ng karamihan, kay Zaeia niya lang ipinapakita ang tunay niyang kulay.
"Thank you!" nakangiting sabi niya. But she secretly wished she could roll her eyes!
"But Kara, sorry for asking you this. Hindi ba’t si Zaeia ang dapat na pakasalan ni Adonis? Nagulat na lang kami na kayo pala ang magpapakasal." Nakangising sabi ng babae.
Gustong sabunutan ni Kara ang babaeng ‘yon. How dare she had the audacity to mention her sister's name on her wedding day.
"I know you’re nice naman! But Zaeia's nice too. Hindi kasi ako naniniwala na walang nangyari upang mapakasal ka kay Adonis." Nakangising wika ng ibang guest sa kanilang kasal.
Her father's expression changed as he heard it.
"Zaeia isn't here. Si Adonis at Kara talaga ang nagmamahalan," nakangiwing sagot ng kanyang ama.
"Ganoon ba tito? But we see how Adonis proposes to Zaeia, which is unfortunate because she isn't present. We'd have the most amazing wedding we'd ever seen," malungkot na wika ng isa.
Tinandaan ni Kara ang mukha ng babaeng iyon at isinusumpa niya na makakaganti siya rito.
She pretended to cry.
"Daddy, I'm sorry! Hindi ba’t tama ako? Akala nila ay inagaw ko si Adonis kay Zaeia!" naiiyak na sabi niya. Lumapit ang mommy niya sa kanya sabay haplos sa kanya.
"Don't worry about them, Kara," said Amanda.
"You think it's my fault, too, Mommy." She cried as she sat on her knees. She watched as her mother's emotions shifted.
"No, I want you to have a wonderful time on your wedding day! Don't worry about them." Masuyong wika ni Amanda habang yakap-yakap ito.
Kara wanted to pull the hair of that woman. Nakita niya ang pagngisi nito sa kanya bumulong pa ito sa mga kasama nitong babae saka tumawa.
After seeing Kara's enraged expression, Elisha wanted to laugh so hard. Nadagdagan pa ang inis nito sa kanya nang siya ang makasalo ng kanyang bulaklak.
When Elisha's parents saw how she caught the boquet, they smiled. Kumaway siya sa kanilang dalawa. Nakasimangot naman si Kara sa kanya ngunit nagpumilit ang ngiti nito.
"What a good thing. Ikaw pa talaga ang nakasalo," sarkastikong wika nito. Elisha gave her a friendly grin.
"Miss Congeniality, what exactly is the problem?” She walked over to Kara and whispered to her, “Do you ever realize you've violated a number of rules? I can immediately punish you, but Zaeia is a friend of mine. Consider yourself lucky.”
Nagsalita si Kara at hinawakan ng mahigpit ang braso ni Elisha, “Stop ruining my fucking wedding, you bitch.”
Elisha smiled. Hindi halata na nagkakaroon sila ng bangayan.
"I'm not ruining it, babe. Mabait ka naman, hindi ba? Why are you acting in this manner? Kara, nakuha mo man si Adonis pero alam naman natin kung sino talaga ang mahal niya," natatawang wika niya.
Nagkunwari itong aksidenteng natapakan ang wedding dress ni Kara.
"Oops! My bad. hindi ko sinasadya, Kara. Ang ganda mo kasi sa wedding dress mo! Grabe! Nakakainggit,” sarkastikong wika niya. Kara pretended to smile at Elisha, but she really wanted to slap her.
"You'll be sorry for what you've done to me. Keep in mind what I'm saying.” Banta ni Kara. Elisha pretended to be scared.
"Oh gosh, I’m scared! I'd like to see how you ruined your parents' business. I'm really looking forward to that. I wish mabati man lang kita kapag nangyari 'yon," nakangising sabi niya. Naglakad siya upang makapunta sa stage ngunit sinadya niyang banggain si Kara upang matumba ito.
Kara was furious by Elisha's actions. She smiled pleasantly when she noticed Adonis staring at her.
‘You bitch, Elisha! You'll have to pay for this!’
Huminga siya ng malalim at kinalma niya ang kanyang sarili.
Nakita niya ang walang ganang mukha ni Adonis. Gusto niyang magalit dahil halata sa lalaki na napipilitan itong magpakasal.
‘I'm hoping you're here, Zaeia! so that I can slap you!’
Until now, Duke had been blown away when he learned that Adonis had married Zaeia's sister. He's well aware of Kara's plan!
Nakita niya na lumapit ang kanyang mga magulang sa table ng pamilya ni Elisha. Nag-kumustahan sila at nag-usap tungkol sa kanilang mga negosyo.
"Mr. Anderson, we're so happy you're all here. Pwede rin natin mapag-usapan ang kasal ni Elisha at ng iyong anak na si Duke." masayang wika ng ina ni Elisha.
Napatingin siya kay Elisha na papalapit sa kanila. Nakangiti ito.
"Yes! I forgot about that part. Hindi ko pa nasabi kay Duke ang bagay na ito," nakangiting wika ni Mr. Anderson, ang ama ni Duke.
Duke was annoyed. Hinahanap niya si Zaeia ngunit wala ito sa kasal ng kanyang kapatid. He could feel his heart pounding.
Para sa kanya, mahal talaga ni Zaeia si Adonis kaya’t hindi nito nakayang pumunta at makita siyang pinakasalan ang kanyang kapatid.
"What do you think about this, Duke? Are you willing to marry Elisha?" nakangiting tanong ng Daddy niya. It came out of nowhere. They are both opposed to their parents' idea.
Gusto niyang umangal dito ngunit alam niyang kahit ano pang pagtutol niya ay wala na siyang magagawa dahil desisyon io ng kanyang mga magulang. At isa pa, nakasalalay din dito ang kanilang negosyo.
"Kung ano ang gusto mo, dad," pilit na sagot ni Duke.
Elisha's facial expression caught his attention. Her smile faded, then reappeared. Duke was well aware that she, too, was opposed to the idea. Apart from having a lover, Elisha is Zaeia's friend.
Zaeia's twins had grown up so wonderfully in two years after 9 months of carrying them in her womb. Lumaki silang matalino at puno ng pagmamahal. Lahat ng atensyon ni Zaeia ay ibinibigay sa kanila. Hinding-hindi gugustuhin ni Zaeia na maranasan ng kanyang mga anak ang paboritismo na kanyang naranasan noon. She adores each of them equally. Ang kanyang kambal na anak ay isang babae at lalaki. Magkasalungat ang ugali ng dalawa ngunit pareho nilang mahal ang isa’t-isa lalo na ang kanilang ina. “Chocho, get up! Mom said that we would be heading to the bookshop to purchase new books and other stuff.” Chacha kicked Chocho's ass up to wake him up as she walked past his bed. As a result, they began battling on the ground. They're kids anyway, and their favorite game is physical fighting. Napahinto na lamang sila nang kumatok sa kanilang pintuan ang kanilang ina na hindi maipinta ang mukha. “Do both of you want to just stay here and read the same books, or do you want to stop arguing so we
In the end, Zaeia agreed to celebrate her children's birthday in the Philippines. Hindi pa siya handang bumalik pero mukhang kahit anong usap niya sa mga anak ay hindi pa rin niya ito mapapapayag. Her kids are smart. Daig pa nila ang nakikipag-usap sa kasing edaran niya. She's thankful that her children were both smart, there's a small chance na makuha nila ang katangahan ni Kara. "Mommy, we're so excited! I'm done arranging my clothes," Chacha said to her. Zaeia stroked her hair and rubbed her temples. She considers herself to have been duped. Her children had duped her into agreeing! "Well done. What about your brother?" tanong niya sa kanyang anal. Chacha shrugged her shoulders like she doesn't care about her brother at all. "Where is he?" Zaeia asked her daughter again. "He's using his computer again." Chacha answered her. "Alright, I will pack his clothes." She said but her daughter rolled her eyes. "Mommy, don't you dare! We aren't babies anymore! I'll talk to my brothe
“Zaeia!” sigaw ni Lucas ng kunwaring nilubog ni Chocho ang kanyang ulo sa dagat habang sila’y naliligo. Napatawa na lamang si Zaeia dahil sa kakulitan ng dalawa. Samantalang si Chacha naman ay kumakain lang ng strawberries sa kanyang tabi matapos nitong maligo. Tumayo si Zaeia at sinalubong ang kanyang anak ng isang tuwalya. Napaismid naman sa kanya si Lucas dahil hindi man lang siya binigyan ni Zaeia ng tuwalya. ‘Isip bata.’ “Let’s go back to our room na. Gabi na at sisinipunin kayo kung mag-swimming pa kayo. Bukas naman.” “Okay, mommy!” sabay na wika ng kambal. Bumalik na sila sa hotel na kanilang tinutuluyan. Ngayong araw ay ang kaarawan ng kambal. Hindi na nila hiniling pa ng magarbong selebrasyon. Mas pinili na lamang nilang i-enjoy ang kulay asul na dagat. Pagkabukas ng elevator ay bumungad sa kanila sina Elisha at Duke. Nagtungo ang tingin ni Zaeia sa kanilang mga kamay na magkahawak. Mas lalo pa itong hinigpitan ni Elisha nang mapansin na nakatingin rito ang kaibigan. La
Zaeia sighed when she saw her twins walking towards her. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin dahil halos hindi siya nakatulog sa mga rebelasyon na nalaman niya. She loved Elisha and treated her as her own sister but she still chose to betray her. Her eyes lacked emotions. "Mommy, what are you thinking?" Chacha asked her. She looked at her children with love and compassion. "Mommy, are you stressed? Maybe, you didn't like to celebrate our birthday here in the Philippines." Chacha sounds sad. Chocho hugged his twin sister. "Twin, mommy needs rest. Maybe she needs beauty time?" Chocho whispered to his twin. Chacha giggled. "We will go home. Did you two enjoy your day?" tanong ni Zaeia sa kanyang mga anak. Nakita niya na bitbit ng dalawa ang mga gamit nito. Napakunot ang kanyang noo ng makita na wala si Lucas sa likod ng mga bata. "Where's your uncle Lucas?" tanong ni Zaeia sa kambal. Her twin smirked. Tumingin siya sa paligid at nakita niya si Duke at ang ahas na kaibigan niya na naglalaka
Zaeia walked into the building with a smile on her face and her brow up straight as her confidence grew. The building was full with chitchats, with some scared of her as she was known for her harsh leadership while others grinning at her and that they were glad she was back as she made her way to her office only to discover Duke sitting in her chair.“What are you doing in here?” she asked in a monotone voice, her eyes shirked, her mood shifting due to the man in front of her.The twins held her hand as they sensed her deep emotion. She took her twins to her workplace while Lucas returned to the United States for critical neurology appointments.“We really looked alike,” he remarked while glancing at the twins.Nagkaroon naman ng halo-halong emosyon si Zaeia nang mapagtanto ang sinabi Duke.“What are you talking about? Anak namin sila ni L-Lucas,” she spoke in a stuttering tone, clearly concerned about Duke's plans. Duke laughed as he stood up and walked to the door and said, “Ganito
Nakasimangot at hindi maipinta ang ekspresyon ni Kara habang pinapanood ang kanyang kapatid sa harapan upang i-propose sa mga shareholders ang kanyang plano upang umangat muli ang kanilang kompanya. Nalaman nila na masyadong nagpa-panic na ang mga ito dahil sa papalapit na pagbagsak ng kanilang kompanya."As of now, I talked and negotiated with those agents who resigned and they want to be part of our company again," Zaeia said using her business tone.One of the stockholders raised his hand, and Zaeia smiled lovingly at him to get their approval, then looked at her sister and winked at her, making her upset once more."They resigned in our company but still you choose to hire them again? Paano kung balak lang pala nila magtraydor sa atin?" tanong ng lalaki. Ngumisi naman si Kara sa naging tanong ng shareholder.“There have been several complaints of agents failing to complete their tasks correctly, yet you still opt to hire them? Why not attempt to find new ones?” dagdag na tanong na
Nakatulala lamang si Duke habang hinihintay si Elisha na lumabas. Napabuntong-hininga siya. Sigurado siya na siya ang ama ng kambal ngunit parating kinakaila ni Zaeia ang lahat.'Come on, man! The agreement will be void if you keep doing this,' Duke told himself. Iritable siyang napasabunot sa kanyang noo saka napalingon ng makita si Elisha na naglalakad papunta sa kanya. He secretly gulped. It's his fault, buntis na si Elisha ano pa nga ba ang magagawa niya?"What are you doing?" tanong ni Elisha kay Duke ng makita niya na sinasabunutan nito ang sarili."Nothing," sagot ni Duke. Mabilis itong pumasok sa kanyang sasakyan na pinagtaka ni Elisha. Pumasok na rin si Elisha habang inoobserbahan si Duke."What's wrong with you? Dahil na naman ba ‘to kay Zaeia?" tanong ni Elisha.Napakapit naman ng mahigpit si Duke sa mismong manibela."H-Hindi, may iniisip lang ako na proposal sa mga investor," dahilan niya kay Elisha. Elisha nodded her head and looked out the window. She keeps thinking Z
“You will need surgery. We can use the total removal procedure but there's a good chance your eyesight will be damaged,” Lucas remarked while pointing out the tumor on the patient's MRI on his monitor.He's been a competent neurosurgeon for a long time, and people look up to him since he's one of the best. He has dealt with a variety of patients during his career, but it was his late mother who inspired him to become a surgeon. Despite the fact that he was unable to save her, he wishes to use his abilities to help others.It's terrifying to have to operate on people, knowing that one wrong move can ruin everything; specifically, Lucas is working with the brain, spine, and other nervous system components.The surgery is scheduled following their conversation. He tried to call Zaeia to see how the twins were doing, but she didn't answer.Lucas knows very little about Zaeia's life and what she is up to. He was only aware of what occurred between her and Duke. Despite the fact that he doe
Percival glanced at the pictures that Elisha tore apart. He was concerned that Elisha would get a lot of stress because of Duke's actions. He wanted to ask him but he didn't have the right to."You should relax yourself, Elisha. Think about your baby," Percival said, making Elisha comforted a little bit.Percival wanted to pull his hair in frustration. He didn't even know why he was caring for Elisha."You should ask him first, don't assume that he's doing something nasty behind your back," Percival wanted to praise himself. He's not a saint, he wanted to grab this opportunity but he couldn't. He can't reveal his intention because he is scared that Elisha will avoid him.‘Oh, I wanted to build a f*cking statue for me. I'm not a saint after all,’ Percival said to himself."This is Zaeia’s revenge on me! I know she was mad at me after taking Duke away from her!" Elisha gritted her teeth. She was mad at her friend, does Zaeia know how she feels guilty whenever she sees her! Does Zaeia th
"Cut!" The director shouted. He was amazed by their acting, it feels too real. "Wow! Bravo. I like how you both acted, parang totoo na naglalaban kayo," puri ng direktor. He was in awe of Zaeia, who was pulled behind the car by a man as she was busy typing on her phone. Duke covered Zaeia's lips while she shouted as if there were no tomorrow, which helped her realize that he was not a kidnapper. She exhaled deeply. “Anong ginagawa mo rito?!” sigaw ni Zaeia. Hindi siya makaisip ng dahilan kung bakit naisipan ni Duke na sundan siya sa set gayon pa’t buntis ang asawa nito. Napakaraming tao at kamera ang nakapalibot sa lugar kaya’t hindi mapakali si Zaeia dahil baka ito’y magkaroon na naman ng isang isyu. Duke leaned on her and whispered, “Wala lang. Uh, napadaan lang,” wika niya at napakamot sa kanyang batok. Kumaripas ng takbo si Zaeia patungo sa direktor nang siya’y tawagin nito. Marahil ay mayroon pa silang kinakailangan tapusin. Napapansin ni Duke na siya ang pinag-uusapan nila
“Ano sa tingin mo ang sasabihin ni dad sa ‘tin?” tanong ni Zaeia sa kanyang kapatid na si Kara. Kasalukuyan silang nakatayo sa labas ng opisina ng kanilang ama. Hindi nila malaman kung sino ang dapat unang pumasok sa loob. Mayroon daw importanteng sasabihin si Alfonso sa kanilang dalawa ngunit ang kanilang ipinagtataka ay bakit silang dalawa lamang? Dapat kung mayroong magandang balita sa kumpanya ay dapat magpatawag ito ng pagpupulong kasama ang ibang miyembro ng board. “I don’t know. Maybe he needs to fire you?” wika ni Kara habang nakangisi na nagpakulong muli ng dugo ni Zaeia. Kahit pa anong pilit nyang makipag-usap nang mahinahon sa kanyang kapatid ay puno ng hinanakit at selos ang sagot nito.Ngayon pa’t hawak nilang dalawa ang mga matataas na posisyon sa kompanya ay kinakailangan nila ng kooperasyon ngunit mukhang malabong mangyari ito. Halos ang trabaho ni Kara ay si Zaeia na ang gumagawa dahil sa inis niya rito at hindi niya gugustuhing makita ang kanyang pagmumukha upang m
Mabilis na na-discharge si Zaeia dahil nagpupumilit ito kahit ayaw ni Lucas at Chocho. "Mom, stop it, we should stay here in the hospital!" Chocho exclaimed. He was afraid that maybe Zaeia had a serious injury. "Yeah, Chocho is right!" sang-ayon agad ni Lucas. Napabuntong-hininga na lamang si Zaeia sa dalawang lalaki na sa kanyang harapan. Kailangan niyang malaman ang nangyayari sa kompanya ngayon dahil wala siyang tiwala sa kanyang kapatid. "You two, shut up, I'm alright. I need to go to the company," Zaeia reasoned but Chocho's eyes were bloodshot. "No! I want the doctor to take you for a test, what if you have a serious injury? What about your head?" Chocho said again. Lucas was amazed and he wanted to salute the little boy. Ang talino nito at mabuti na lamang ay hindi niya ito naging kaklase. He feels proud of Chocho. "Oh, stop being a brat, Chocho, or else. You'll be grounded, no computer or no use of your tablet or even your books," Zaeia acted like she was serious about
Elisha feels sad after he sees the emotion in Duke's eyes. Emosyonal siya dahil buntis siya at hindi nakakatulong ang nalaman niya sa kanyang sitwasyon. "Why did you kiss her?" Elisha asked him. Huminga ng malalim si Duke. Oo, nagpadala siya sa bugso ng kanyang damdamin. "Elisha please don't ask me that question," nakokonsensyang sabi ni Duke. After all, they're married and what he did was a sin.Nakalabas sila sa hospital at pumunta agad sa parking lot. Pumasok agad si Elisha sa kotse ng akmang pagbubuksan siya ni Duke ng pinto. Nagdesisyon na lamang ito na pumasok na rin sa kotse. Elisha's face was dark but her eyes were full of sadness. Nakokonsensya na siya sa nagawa niya kay Zaeia tapos nalaman pa niya ang ginawa ng kanyang asawa ngayon. "Ayaw mo akong magtanong pero bakit ginawa mo? Duke, alam ko na nagpakasal lamang tayo dahil sa negosyo pero sana irespeto mo ako, pati ang magiging anak natin," masakit sa loob na sabi ni Elisha. She stopped her tears. Unti-unti na siyang na
Duke decided to follow Zaeia as he witnessed how Zaeia got hit by a post. He was in fear thinking about Zaeia's condition. He went out to his car and ran to save Zaeia. He saw Zaeia was unconscious and bleeding. "Zaeia!" he shouted his name. Seeing Zaeia in her state makes him tremble in fear. "Fuck! No, Zaeia please," he wanted to cry but he couldn't. He needs to save Zaeia first, mabilis niyang sinuntok ang bintana malapit sa driver seat at chineck ang kanyang pulso. "Come on, Zaeia! Wake up," maamong sabi niya. Nagising si Zaeia na nasa hospital na siya. Her head was hurting. "Why am I here?" tanong niya sa kanyang sarili. Bigla niyang naalala na ang pagputok ng baril at nang mabangga siya sa isang poste. "Elisha," galit na sambit niya sa pangalan ng kanyang kaibigan. She was sure it's all Elisha's fault. That time before she heard the gunshot, Elisha texted her, thinking it's Elisha's warning. "Ibang klase ka talaga, gusto mo na talaga akong mamatay," gigil na sambit niy
Naghahanda na si Zaeia upang umuwi dahil madilim na ang gabi. Siguradong magtataka si Lucas at ang kanyang ina kung bakit natagalan siya sa pag uwi.Isang kamay ang sapilitang iniharap siya sa kanya na walang iba kundi si Ada.“That wasn't even an act. I almost drowned, bitch!” sigaw nito. Pakiramdam ni Zaeia na totoong nangyari ang mga bagay na nakalagay sa script kaya’t halos makatotohanan ang kanyang nagawa.“Well, I’m sorry,” sarkastiko niyang tugo at nagpatuloy sa kanyang ginagawa.“Anong kailangan mo, Zaeia? I’m living the best of my life. Kung tungkol sa organisasyon ang dahilan ng pagpapakita mo uli sa ‘kin, pwes hinding hindi na ako babalik.” Isinuot ni Zaeia muli ang kanyang jacket at naglakad papalayo. Ngunit huminto siya matapos makalabas ng tent at lumingong muli kay Ada.“Well, good luck to you.” At naglakad patungo sa kanyang sasakyan. Nakasalubong niya ang manager ni Ada at inabot ng sikreto ang tseke na naglalaman ng tatlong milyong pesos.“Do your job smoothly.” Tuma
