They all woke up early that day. Out of 300 people, 290 were able to confirm coming in to the hotel. The other 10 needed to travel and would take until next week to fully transfer.They had to also comply to a lot of health protocols for their travel. By eight in the morning, people have started to come in. Melai and Travis took the liberty of welcoming the first batch. They were made into 50 people per batch to make sure the hotel would not be swamped up. All this time, they were working hand in hand to make sure that thing would go swiftly. They have also delegated the welcome party on every batches pairing up with each other. Sari made herself occupied. It's been a week since Melai's wedding and she still has not asked Dash further about what he said. Sa tingin niya rin ay wala itong maalala. He never mentioned anything the following morning and instead, he cooked a healthy meal for her. They haven't even found the right time to talk. Ever since the wedding, she's been pretty

Dash"You said you did something bad."I did something bad? But why can't I remember anything?I tried to recall everything that happened that night. I wondered if I was too drunk to recall a single thing. My people in the kitchen were now on lunch as I sat in front of my oven, pouring myself a glass of wine. As the liquid slowly filled the rim of my glass, a sudden splash of memory came to me. Right here in this kitchen. "You mind filling me with some of those?"She leaned against the kitchen door, a wine glass in hand. I sat in one of the stools across my kitchen table. I just saw Sari talking to Austin. My mind was fighting just moments ago if I should intervene or just let them be. Sa huli, nanaig ang kagustuhan kong mapag-isa. Perhaps to think about the things that I have been doing. Now, Shane approaches me with a glass in hand, asking me to share a wine. "Fancy seeing you here." she glances at the entire kitchen."This is my turf. How about you? Why are you here?""Silen

The account launch was successful and the 300 employees they hired went live the next week.Everyone had to go through their training process through zoom links kahit pa nasa magkakalapit na lugar lamang sila.They needed distance as much as possible. Melai and Travis slide right into the training process effectively and started their own training classes in just a few days from the time they were onboarded. Sari on the other hand has focused more on serious aspects with a few more focus on the growth of her department. She had more exposures with her team managers than the people themselves. She didn't even get the chance to tell them of what happened to her and Dash. Alam naman niyang susuportahan nila kahit ano pa man ang maging desisyon niya. The constant meeting with stakeholders had her working almost all the time. Ever since the whole pandemic thing, she hasn't done any activity that would help her get distracted. She missed her plants and her house. Nangako naman si Dash

Stacy was declared positive with COVID. Now, they were all in Team Huddles to talk to everyone and ask if anyone has made contact with her on the days that she was sneaking out. About four people from the kitchen staff expressed that they were exposed, while about two of their employees also said they've had an interaction. Every one of them will have to take the COVID test to see if they are positive. "We still have no news from the hospital of Stacy's whereabouts. For now, all we know is that she will be held in quarantine until further notice. For now, I'd like to reiterate to everyone that we need to follow all the mandated health protocols to make sure we don't get compromised. Safety is the number one priority. If you don't care enough for yourself, care enough for others who are breadwinners of their families. Do not compromise anyone."Those were the words she emphasized during their call. "That was really direct to the point Sari. Thank you." she heard Austin as they wer

Her eyes never grew tired for the last few days. Three days after hearing about Stacy, she never had the chance to sleep again. In all of those times, all she could think of is how she would have had more time. Sometimes, even when she's in the middle of doing something, she finds herself stopping and just sobbing. This day is the day Stacy will be cremated and hopefully brought home to her family. They would not even get to see her or attend her funeral. This entire pandemic has changed a lot of things. They are not permitted to mourn for a long time. When patients are diagnosed with Covid, the only option is to cremate them. Her phone rang and all she could do was stare at it for a very long time. When she had the energy to lift it up and answer it, she heard Melai on the other line."Hey, we were wondering if you would be available later today at around 3 PM?""What's up?" she lazily asked."We're doing a small service for Stacy. Just us. If you have the time, you can go to th

"How did you get in?" she calmly asks. She sat in the couch, now livid of what is going on. How did he managed to get into the hotel? "Money makes the world go round Sari. Kahit gaano pa kahigpit ang security ng hotel na 'to, there's always a way to make it inside without people knowing.""Why are you here Collin?"The room has turned dark as he let down all of the blinds. Na para bang kung may makakakita man sa kanila ay pwedeng makaapekto sa mga binabalak niya."I want revenge Sari! That's all I want!""Revenge for what?""For the way you left me hanging." he cupped her face, making her feel the cold exterior of the gun he was holding. "You did it to yourself Collin. You were becoming worst.""Worst? Isn't that the point of all of it?""No.""'Tang Ina mo Sari! Binigay ko sa'yo lahat.""I never asked you for anything, except to help me. That was all there is.""Right..." he nodded continuously, "Oo nga pala. Pangangailangan mo nga lang pala ang dapat na importante. I don't matter

She opened her eyes, inaaninag ang bawat sulok ng lugar kung nasaan siya. She realized that she was in her own house. Napabalikwas siya ng bangon at mabilis na binuksan ang pinto. Her house seemed too bright, something she thinks was too unrealistic. A mug of coffee was already sitting in the counter top of the kitchen. And that coffee smelled really good. She immediately walked down the stairs and grabbed the cup of coffee, totally ignoring the fact that she doesn't know yet exactly how she got into her house. She took a sip of the coffee and found it smoothing as it gets into her system."My house definitely still has the best coffee." kahit pa alam niyang instant coffee lang iyon.She walks to her garden and realized that her gardenias have now fully bloomed. They looked ethereal and in some unexplainable reason, the sun's rays seemed to have glimmered right into their petals.The moist coming from daybreak can be seen from drops of morning dew seen in their petals and leaves.

"How long have I been here?" she turns to her father.They were sitting in front of the garden once again."A week.""Has it been a week already." it's more of a statement rather than a question."It has been."She lift her head up and saw the bright sky.Everything in here seemed really bright and the daylight seemed really long. "Hindi mo pa ba na-mimiss ang mga kaibigan mo?""Syempre naman na-miss. Pero mas na-miss kita pa.""At na-miss din kita. Pero alam mo namang hindi pwedeng manatili ka dito ng matagal di ba?""Hindi ba talaga pwede?""Anak, hindi mo pa oras. Hindi pa ito ang tamang panahon.""I just find it tiring to come back to a life that's been messier than the usual," she sighed, "Papa, hindi ako naging mabuting tao. And I think, for the first time in my life, this is the only place that made me safe and comfortable. This is the only place I seem to feel at peace.""Naiintindihan ko naman kung bakit," her father held her head and let it lean in his shoulders, "But peace

FUBU Epilogo
Sari stepped into the Philippine airport, her return marked by a mix of emotions. The familiar sights and sounds of her home country surrounded her, triggering memories of the life she left behind two years ago. As she navigated through the bustling terminal, she couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and anticipation. The air was filled with a medley of languages, the hustle of travelers, and the distinct aroma of Filipino delicacies. It was a stark contrast to the various places she had explored during her global journey. The airport echoed with the voices of families reuniting, friends sharing laughter, and the occasional strains of a local song playing in the background. Sari's heart fluttered with a blend of excitement and apprehension as she thought about the people she had missed and the changes that might have occurred in her absence. She recalled the promise she made to Austin, the box he handed her before she embarked on her solo adventure. The small velvet box contai

She woke up and tiptoed from the room. Not too long ago, she noticed the peculiar lights from outside. Once in the kitchen, she reheated the coffee they left last night. She grabbed a mug, wrapped her body with the thickest coat she has and stepped out to her lawn with the cup of coffee. She walked towards the middle of her lawn and lift her head up, the Aurora Borealis has appeared right on top of her own lawn. In the clear night sky, they looked like swirling rivers of greenish-blue light with hues of red and yellow. This is the first time she's seen it. And quiet honestly, no words would ever compare to what she sees right now. No wonder people have always wanted to come here. The lights were believe to symbolize good luck, protection, and prosperity. She researched about it on her second week. She felt a different kind of overwhelming feeling. Then, she felt strong arms wrapped around her body. She didn't bother turning around and instead, leaned her head against his chest.

"So, how did your meeting go?"She turned to her glass window. The sun shone brighter today. She felt that was odd because she didn't get to sleep that night. Austin's face haunted her."It was alright.""You didn't enjoy it?" her therapist leaned back, trying to give her enough space to breath."I didn't. I talked to a skeleton in my closet that I've been avoiding for too long."The therapist raised an eyebrow, sensing the gravity of the situation. "A skeleton in your closet? Can you tell me more about it?"She took a deep breath, her gaze still fixed on the sunlit landscape outside. "Austin, the man I love. We had a conversation, and it wasn't easy. I couldn't escape the memories, the emotions that surged back. It felt like I was facing a version of myself that I've been trying to forget."The therapist nodded in understanding. "Confronting the past can be challenging, especially when it's tied to strong emotions. What aspects of the conversation made it difficult for you?""He want

She took a sip of her coffee as she looks out the huge lawn now filled with snow. As she sipped her coffee, the bitter warmth contrasting with the chilly Greenlandic air, she couldn't help but marvel at the pristine snow covering the expansive lawn. The serenity of the silent community around her cabin added to the peacefulness she sought. This is the first time she's been away her country home. The decision to escape to Greenland was driven by a desire for solitude and introspection. Three weeks ago, she got out of the country without anyone knowing. Shen simply sent the ticket for her destination. Now, she's in one of the coldest country in the world, Greenland. Her cabin was in the middle of a silent community, courtesy of Shane herself. She figured that it was some sort of an Air BnB booked especially for her. From this tiny cabin, she reflected on her own life. She gets visited by a therapist whom she met on her second day. She's been known as someone who has 100% success rate

The evening news and even the morning shows filled her faces.Sari became a sensation overnight as Austin's team tipped of the station's of her incoming press conference and interview. This day, she will be featured in an interview to one of the most controversial talk show host who does not hold her tongue when it comes to the most current news and events.The interview is in a popular network's studio and all Sari have to do is walk into their premise."Is Austin coming?" she asks Shane from the reflection of the mirror inside the dressing room."I don't think so."Sher rubbed her palms against each other, hoping to get enough heat that would calm her nerves."Are you okay?" Shane curiously asked while looking at Sari from the mirror."Yeah." she nodded, "I just feel nervous about all of this."Shane came to her and gave her a tight hug. She sees Sari smiling as she did that."Thank you for being here.""Lukaret, bakit naman hindi. Of course I will be here even if you don't want me

His office and even the house near Sari's is filled with Police Officers. He's been working with them 24/7 to make sure she's safe. The moment that Austin heard from Shane, he connected with the task force to help them catch Elias as well. But in the middle of all the chaos, he received an anonymous call. That was one of the strangest things he has received that day. "Hello?""I have something that I'd want to talk to you." it was a woman's voice on the other end of the line."It's not important anymore. Meet me in La Piazza."Then the call ended. His phone is not monitored by the police task force so he knows that no one is listening. He dialed another number."Dash. I need your help. I have to get out of this place.""Meet you at the exit in 5 minutes."He turned his phone off and got back to his office. He used the exit door from there to reach the entire building's exit where he knows Dash will be waiting. Just when he reached the exit of the building, Dash's car just took a s

He handed her a glass of wine. One she knows must have had some kind of drug in it. He asked her to wear the leather outfit he bought her. In the table near them, was some of the kinkiest paraphernalia's she's seen. The sight of those made her cringe. This is the first time she's been with a man who seems to be on the more violent side. Hesitant, she took the glass and slowly took a sip.Iilang beses na ba niyang hinayaan ang sarili niyang gawin kung anuman ang gustong ipagawa sa kanya.Hasn't she been this way eversince she met Collin?"We're going to have some fun tonight."She giggled. The drug and the wine is taking effect so fast."Really?""Really."He slowly crawled towards her, a rope in hand. As soon as he gets to her, he uses the rope to tie her hands on her back. The remaining stretch of the rope is tied to both her feet.This makes getting out harder."Have you always been this kinky?""I have always been this wild." he answers.Worry filled her.

J looked at the party scene. He just proposed to his girlfriend. The same woman he met while they were isolated in Austin's hotel. Lumapit sa kanya si Travis. "Congratulations bro." "Thanks Man." he proceeded on drinking from his own beer bottle. "You don't seem happy?" "How can I? Until now, Sari is still nowhere to be found. God knows how I'd want her to be a part of the wedding." "Well, you don't have any date for the wedding yet right?" "We don't. Pero baka kahit makapag-set na kami ng petsa, wala pa din siya. This all seems strange to me." "I know. The twins are back. I guess Sari made a few sacrifices along the way." "That has always been what she's doing. Sacrificing." J sighed as he once again took another sip of his beer. "I still believe she will be with us soon. Hindi ko din alam kung sa paano'ng paraan ako pwedeng makatulong. But every time I am somewhere, I always look around to see if may maliligaw na Sari sa mall or sa isang restaurant. Na baka at some point,

It felt strange but she had this feeling that she is being watched. After her strange encounter with Elias' mother, she fell into deep slumber. Now she's waking up to the sudden chill and feeling of someone staring at her while she's sleeping. As she slowly opened her eyes, a shiver ran down her spine as the room's dim light revealed an eerie stillness. The air felt charged with an inexplicable tension. She scanned the room, searching for any signs of movement or the source of her uneasy feeling. The soft glow from the moonlight seeping through the curtains illuminated the room in an ethereal manner. Shadows danced on the walls, creating a mysterious atmosphere. With her senses heightened, she strained to listen for any unusual sounds or footsteps. Suddenly, a creaking noise echoed in the room, making her heart skip a beat. Her gaze darted towards the source of the sound. There, in the corner, she noticed a figure, partially obscured by the darkness. The silhouette seemed to blend
