MALIYAH POV
As I wonder what happened a while ago, I'm alone now in my room. Still, I couldn't process everything after discovering that Clint's children were cutie little angels. How? Is he married? Confusion consumed me. Did he play with my feelings way back then? We met for almost one year based on the kid's age, one year and six months. Means that he knew he was already a father? Am I calculating the timeline and months correctly? Sumakit bigla ang ulo kakaisip sa mga nalaman ko. Maraming mga katanungan ang gumugulo sa isip ko, na hindi ko naman mabigyan ng sagot.
Inikot ko ang mga mata ko sa kwarto na pinagamit ni Yaya Mameng sa akin. Hindi ko agad napansin kong gaano ka, kaganda, at kalapad ang kwartong tutuluyan ko mas malaki pa ata ito sa buong bahay namin.
The wallpaper was light brown, fully carpeted with brown fur texture. There is a large sunset painting on the wall where the headboard was. The birds flying through it made it a perfect sunset. The

MALIYAH POV My palms are shaking. I saw rage and longing in his deep blue-green eyes. Maya maya naging malamlam iyon, ngunit agad ring nawala. Napalitan ng walang emosyong mga mata, at nagtagis ang mga bagang niyang nakatingin sa akin. “Wa—ter” malat na boses niyang sabi sa akin. Kumuha agad ako ng tubig, dahan-dahan kong inangat ang ulo niya, at inilapit sa bibig niya ang baso para makainom siya. Nang tumigil ito sa pag inom, inilapag ko ang bago sa side table, nakakalahati rin nito ang tubig. “Sir—Sir Clint, do you need anything else?” utal kung tanong sa, diretso kung tinitigan ang kanyang mga mata, sinalubong niya yun ngunit i
MALIYAH POV As I closed the door, tears fell from my eyes. All my bravery was gone. I could feel the excruciating pain in my chest. I punch where my heart is located just to ease the pain, to no avail. I wiped my tears and walked toward the exit. I saw Mang Danilo standing on the hood of the car. As I moved in his direction, he opened the door as soon as he saw me walking. I saw confusion in his eyes, and sadness was visible on his face. "May problema, Ms. Maliyah?" I felt his pity and concern. Walang akong maapuhap na sagot sa kanya. Kundi simpleng tango nalang. Hindi naman ito nagtanong pa ulit. Pero dinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya, ng pumasok na ito sa driver's seat. Ipinikit ko, ang mga mata ko. Para hindi na ulit tumulo ang mga luha ko ngunit kahit anong gawin ko, umalpas pa rin yun. As I wiped my tea
MALIYAH POVA month after that kissing scene, I felt a knife strike me in the chest; that kissing part was like a nightmare that kept on haunting me even in my dreams. Sir Clint was discharged weeks after he woke up. Our working relationship was worse than I thought. He made it complicated and difficult on my part. He was angry every time I was near, but he laughed and enjoyed it even though there was nothing to laugh about. Minsan iniisip ko, nasisiraan na ito dahil sa mga kinikilos niya. Gaya na lang ngayon. Masaya ito pero ang pinapanood naman niya ay action movie, para itong may tama sap ag iisip sa kinikilos niya. Nakatayo ako sa di kalayuan sa kanya kasi gusto niyang magpahinga. Hindi pa sana tapos ang dalawang oras na session namin. Nag rereklamo na agad itong pagod na. Their gym was fully equipped. Lahat ng kailangan mo andoon na.“Ms. Delos Santos, come over here.” Dinig kung utos ni sir Clint. Agad akong lumapit sa bandang gilid niya at tumingin sa mga mata niya. I hid my
MALIYAH POV Tunog ng telepono ang nagpagising sa akin. Kinusot-kusot ko pa ang mata ko. hindi ko namalayan kung anong oras ako nakatulog kagabi. Antok na antok pa ako dahil hindi ako makatulog sa ginawa ni sir Clint sa akin. Pati ba naman sa panaginip ko may halikan na eksena. May lahing witch ba si Sir Clint? “Hello?” patanong kong sagot sa kong sino man tumawag hindi ko na natingnan ang screen ng telepono ko. Nakapikit pa ang mga mata ko. “Mal-Maliyah?” garalgal na boses ni ate ang nasa kabilang linya, napabalikwas ako ng bangon at biglang nagising ang diwa ko. “Ate Maze, kalma muna, anong nangyari?” nanginginig ang kalamnan ko, sa takot at nerbiyos. “Si Ton-ton, Maliyah!” pasigaw na ang boses ni Ate Maze. Hindi ko na siya naiintindihan. Dali dali akong bumangon at pinatay ko na ang tawag at diretso ako sa banyo para maligo. Gusto ko nang liparin ang Maynila papuntang Cavite. Diyos, ilayo niyo po sa kapahamakan ang pamangkin ko. Piping dasal ko. Agad akong naligo, at halo
MALIYAH POV Unti-unti nagkakaroon, ng magandang resulta ang phlebotomy procedure ni Tonton, sana maging tuloy tuloy na ang improvement niya para kahit papaano hindi na masyadong problemado si Ate Maze kasi nasa final exam na niya , ilang linggo na lang gagraduate na siya. Konting tiis nalang, maayos din ang lahat. Tumatakbo ang diwa ko ng hindi ko namamalayan na nasa tabi ko sir Clint. “Are you deft, Mayah? I was calling like hundreds of times now.” Nayayamot na ang tono ng boses niya pero hindi naman ang mukha niya. “Huht? Tinatawag mo ba ako?” Maang kong tanong sa kanya, totoo naman talaga hindi ko sya naririnig. “Ay hindi,” pabalang na sagot nito. “Eh hindi naman pala eh” Padabog kong sagot sa kanya, sabay sipa ng electric wheel chair niya. “Kanina pa nga kita tinatawag hindi mo naman ako naririnig ano bang iniisip mo at lutang ka na naman, if you're thinking about you nephew, don’t worry about it, Alfred handled everything.” Iritableng sagot niya sa akin. And speaking o
MALIYAH POV I woke up at five in the morning, just to watch the sunrise. Daha ako pumanaog, at naka bakatin ang mga paa ko para hindi ako makagawa ng ingay dahil ayaw kong makabalahaw ng mga natutulog pa. Nang makarating ako sa entrada ng pintuan at akmang pipihitin ko ito, dinig ko ang baritonong boses ng isang lalaking laman ng isip at puso ko. Puso talaga Maliyah?Kastigo ng utak ko. “Can I come with you, Mayah?” Siya na ang may pinaka malambing ang boses, na nag bansag ng Mayah sa akin noon. Hanggang ngayon, pero bakit yun naalala niya. Dati tinanong niya ako, kong sino ako. Dinig ko ang lakas ng kabog ng puso ko, ang aga naman niya magising. I was so excited to watch the sunrise alone but being, with sir Clint it was more wonderful. Lumapit ako sa kanya para alalayan ko siya gamit ang mga saklay niya, it was five months after he woke up, his mobilization was improved day by day, and it was my honor to be part of his therapy and recovery. As we reach the sea shore. I assisted Cli
MALIYAH POVWe’re going back to Manila, the last few days were one of the happiest moments in my life. I couldn’t deny the fact that Clint made me happy. Doubts consumed me, but I want to give him the benefits of the doubt. Relationship build with trust and commitment. Wait teka nga MIND manliligaw palang, yung tao relationship agad, pwedeng pakipot ka naman konti. Dalagang Filipina na galawan?Paano si Scarlet? Sino ba si Daniyah, hindi man lang niya nabanggit ang kambal. Kulang kulang tatlong oras ang biyahe namin bago kami nakarating ng mansion nina Clint. Nasa garahe palang kami dinig ko ang tilian ng mga bata, at ingay na nasa loob ng mansion. Hula kong andito na ang mga anak ni Clint. Ano kaya ang maging reaksiyon niya kung marinig niyangtawagin ako ng mga anak niya. Nang maka pasok kami kita ko ang mga bata naglalaro kay Doc Chlyde na naka sampa sa likod nito at nag lalaro ng kabayuhan, si Andrea naka kay Dhianna, at si Anthony naman kay Doc Chlyde, ang lutong ng tawa nilang dala
MALIYAH POV (SPG) Umuwi muna si Alexander sa kanila, and he strongly denied what happen, hindi daw siya magpakamatay sa overdose. He admitted he was drunk because he witnessed his boyfriend was cheating. Gusto niya lang daw kumalma at makatulog. I pity him for what happened. As for me, Clint and I were strangers, akala ko yung bakasyon namin was the start, and I was utterly wrong. He was a different person back then, and on that day, he formally asked me again for the second time. I was naive to believe that we have a second chance. Gusto ko nang lumayo, at takasan kung ano ang sakit na gusto niyang iparamdam sa akin because really it seems unfair on my part. Bakit niya ako pinaasa, lalapit palang ako aalis na siya, ang pinakamasakit pa , parang sampal sa akin na kumuha siya ng panibagong Physical Therapist without informing na, ayaw niya pala sa trabaho ko. Hindi ko naman maabala si Doc Chlyde for my resignation because they are in their honeymoon. Nagbigay ako ng resignation ko ng
CLINT POV (SPECIAL CHAPTER WITH SPG) My wedding proposal last night was a success. Maliyah’s face was epic. She was surprised, shocked even. She was crying, yet happiness was visible in her beautiful eyes. What touched me even more, was her face when she saw me on my knees, full of bruises, cuts, and wounds all over my face and body. My heart aches every time I see her, tears fall, and I feel excruciating pain is too much to handle. I want to kick myself for pulling off stunts to make it more convincing. No doubt that she loved me very much. I have been waiting for the perfect time to propose, but everything gets complicated every time. So, I decided to plan everything from distancing myself, being aloof, and treating her in a very cold manner. I only want to hug, kiss her, and bury my manhood inside her. But what I did was the exact opposite. I was like a lunatic. I was the one who treated her that way, but the pain was double. Para akong sinasakal sa sakit kapag nakikita ko ang sa
MALIYAH POV-FINALE (WARNING: SPG) Six Months Later We moved to Clint’s penthouse in Taguig. Our lives seem different. Clint had been distant for a few months now, but he was the sweetest dad, pagkagaling nito sa trabaho uuwi agad para maalagaan ang mga anak namin. But he has been cold and aloof lately with me. I don't know what I did wrong. Kapag tinatanong ko naman siya kung may problema, lagi nalang niyang sagot, he was tired and he handled high-profile clients. Isang tanong isang sagot lang din ito. Hindi rin siya sabay kumakain sa akin, pero siya ang nag papakain sa triplets namin, katulong ang mga yaya nila. Yaya Mameng stayed in the penthouse para may kasama daw ako. Hindi rin dito natutulog si Clint. Ang daming dahilan, kung tatanungin ko siya. Nakakainis na talaga, siya. Akala ko okay na kami, at nasabi na namin na mahal namin ang isa't isa, pero bakit ganito kalamig ang pakikitungo niya sa akin. Gaya na lang ngayon. Nakakapag tampo na. “Clint halika kana, kakain na, naka p
CLINT POV “Khingston! Khingston!Come out! Come out. I will find you!” Scarlet had just entered the mansion with tactical gear. She will go to war if she’s like this. The place I built was bulletproof and shockproof as I heard her from the monitor. I have cameras and hidden cameras installed all over the house. My room was safe; it had an electrifying security system and could release toxins that could paralyze your entire body for hours. If they try to break it, the backup data is installed, and the android will take over the complete security. My DNA can override the android security system and some trusted agents like Allister. We installed machine guns on the door of my room for additional precautions. The scanner was hidden inside the wall; I hired experts worldwide for this. I want their safety, nothing more. Maliyah’s DNA has been installed as well for emergency purposes. I will never leave her side, even if I lay my life for her and our children. It took almost four hours for
MALIYAH POV The celebration of the baby shower and my welcome home party was a success. I never thought Clint made such an effort to make me feel at home and welcomed. I never imagined that after all the trials and hardships we faced together, we could still manage to smile and disregards the nightmare that made us completely different person. My hips and legs are aching after the party. The arrangement was perfect, and the most fantastic part was the gender revelation. I am carrying a triplet. Clint was very attentive; with every move I made, he was there to assist me. No complaints, nothing. He is always mindful of what I need and what I want. He kept asking me if I needed anything, and I felt happy. He asked if I felt uncomfortable or needed to pee in the bathroom. When I'm in a situation like this, I always want to share it with him. Our guests had already left the party, but some of Clint's friends stayed. He brought me to his room and prepared a warm bath for me. It feels pe
MALIYAH POV “Maliyah! Maliyah!” someone is calling me, the woman who kept calling me before I was in a coma. I roam around my eyes to look for that sweet voice. Then a white light came out from nowhere, and I saw the same woman in my dreams; her face was at peace and beautiful as ever. “Hello Miss, kilala mo ba ako?” it was full of curiosity questions, wondering who she was. “Maliyah, alam kong marami ang mga katanungan sa isip mo pero ito lang ang hiling ko sayo, bigyan mo ng pagkakataong magpaliwanag si Clint, at mahalin mo ang kambal!” then she turned around and walk towards the light, left me dumbfounded. Siya ang ina ng kambal, paulit ulit itong nag replay sa utak ko. “Miss wait please! Ano pangalan mo!” hindi na siya lumingon pa. “Soon Maliyah soon!” yun ang huling salita bago tuluyang siyang nawala sa mga paningin ko. Iminulat ko ang mga mata ko, puro puti ang sumalubong sa akin, ilang beses ko rin ipinikit at iminulat ang mga mata ko para masanay sa liwanag na nanggaling
CLINT POV A cold water woke me up. My hands and feet are tied up in a metal chair. My eyes roamed around. I saw Maliyah sitting not far from where I was. She’s still unconscious, and my heart tightens as I look at her. She is indeed the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I was madly in love with her. I go crazy without her. No one is around the area. I can’t even move. My wrists and feet have tie wraps on them. They double it and cover my mouth with duct tape. “Well!Well look who’s awake.” Napalingon ako sa boses ni Scarlet. Puno ng galit ang nararamdaman ko ngunit wala akong magawa. She went closer to Maliyah and pulled her hair and slapped her face. I cursed to death as I saw Maliyah's red face. She can’t utter any words because she has duct tape too. I saw her tears falling on her beautiful face. Parang tinarakan ako ng kutsilyo sa mga luha niya. “Wake up your stupid bitch!!!” it was Scarlet and shouting at Maliyah’s face. She’s murmuring. Lalong nag pupuyos ang galit ko.
MALIYAH POV Napalikwas ako ng bangon ng maramdaman kong parang bumaligtad ang sikmura ko. Patakbo kong tinungo ang banyo at walang habas ang pagsusuka ko doon. Nagluluha na ang mga mata ko, wala naman lumalabas sa bibig ko kundi dilaw na likido mula sa tiyan ko. Hagod sa likod ang nag pataas ng tingin ko. It was Clint wearing a floral pink apron and he’s holding a ladle on his left hand. I was mesmerized how handsome this man standing in front of me. “Are you alright sweetheart?” kikiligin na sana ako dahil kitang kita ko ang pag alala niya sa akin ngunit biglang pumasok na naman sa isip ko ang nakakaawang mukha ni Marco. My conscience and guilt were hitting the deepest part of my heart and I was drowning in despair at the same time. A question pops up in my head? Bakit nga ba ako nag suka wala naman ako kinain. I have no watch to check the time. Nag mumog ako at nag hilamos. Iniabot niya sa akin ang towel nang hindi man lang ako nagpasalamat “Oo okay lang ako! Tabi dadaan ako!” pa
MALIYAH POV (SPG WARNING)Papa was true to his words sinundo nga niya ako pagsapit ng ika siyam ng umaga. May dala rin siyang dalawang milo at supot ng tinapay alamakong pandesal yun dahil naamoy ko agad ang peanut na palaman. Hindi parin naman ako iniwan ni Clint. Kahit labag man sa isip ko na manatili siya sa tabi ko wala akong magagawa pa. He insisted. Siya lang ang makakatulong sa aking na makamit ang hustisya kailangan ko. Para sa katahimikan ng isip at puso ko, pati narin ng konsensiya ko. Bumukas ang pintuan ng silid ko, iniluwa si Wendy doon para alisin ang swero sa kamay ko.“Good morning frenny, kumusta naman ang tulog mo?” pero ang nguso nito sa banyo kung saan naroon si Clint. Matapos akong morning routine hindi ito pumayag na hindi ako tulungan. May dala siyang mga toiletries para sa aming dalawa. Napailing nalang ako sa mga pinag gagawa ni Wendy“Bati na kayo?” pabulong niyang tanong sa akin, pinanliitan ko siya ng mga mata ko. Tinawanan niya lang ang kunawaring galit ko
MALIYAH POV (THE RETURN) The memories rushing in my mind were unbearable. I remember every single detail of my experience. Traumatizing, haunting like a ghost that is seeking justice. As the pain starts, then hatred follows. Then a question pops up in my head. Is vengeance necessary to get my justice? But an image of a dying boy who helped me escape was haunting my peace. Blood flowed on his mouth, a tear in his beautiful eyes as he closed them, and everything was back in my reverie. How would I get my justice? Then an image of him appeared in front of me. He looked at me with sympathy, longing, fear, and anticipation. Mixed emotions were all over his handsome face. "Maliyah!" as he called out my name, it was the sweetest yet. There is a frightened tone in it. Oh, I missed those dark blue, green eyes I always adored. But something wasn't right. Memories are dashing to my mind, and I can't process any of them. "Tu—big, please." Malat ang boses kong hingi sa kanya. Agad itong tumalim
