Chapter 1

"No," matigas na sagot ko sa sinabi ng mga magulang ko kaya kapwa silang napatigil sa pagkain at napatingin sa akin. They are discussing to arrange my marriage for god's sake.

Matapang kong sinalubong ang mga mata nila. All my life I followed them. At ngayon gusto ulit nilang pangunahan ang buhay ko?

"What?" inis na tanong ni Mommy. Naninibago siya na nagawa kong tumanggi ngayon. 

 "Hindi ako magpapakasal sa lalaking hindi ko kilala," sambit ko sa madiin na boses. It's the first time I talked back. Palagi akong sunod-sunuran pero sobra na ito ngayon.

"Sinusuway mo ba ang gusto namin? You need to marry a man from a good family for our business! We need to expand our business more! We need a man from the same line!" sabi ni Daddy at pinalo niya ng malakas ang lamesa pero hindi ako gumalaw.

"Why me? Why not, Ate?" matapang na tanong ko kaya nangunot ang noo ng kapatid ko at mabilis niya akong pinagtaasan ng kilay.

"You, ungrateful child!" sigaw ni Mommy.

Dahan-dahan akong tumango saka umiling sa kanila. I maintained my straight face and I don't care if they will get angry even more. I don't want to marry a stranger. Kahit pa anak iyon ng kung sinong bilyonaryo. Handling the company is fine but I won't marry anyone.

"Do me a favour, please. I won't marry for convenience. Never," I said and Dad laughed sarcastically.

"Gusto mong patunayan ang sarili mo? Go! Find a good man for you!" he shouted.

"I have a boyfriend so I won't just marry someone you want from me—"

"Siguraduhin mo na may maipagmamalaki ang sinasabi mong boyfriend! Get out of here! Wala kang kwenta! Huwag na huwag ka ulit magpapakita sa amin!" galit na galit na sigaw niya kaya tiim bagang kong kinuha ng bag ko bago tumalikod.

I smirked sarcastically. Of course. Kailan ba kami nagkaroon ng maayos na dinner? Iyong hindi ako pinapagalitan or iniinsulto? Never.

Tuloy-tuloy akong naglakad na tila walang problema. I am used to all of this. I am used to be their daughter but it doesn't feel like that. I am used to act like one of their employee who always follows them. Pero hindi na sa parte ng buhay ko na iyon.

Not my marriage. They have no say on whom I would marry. Hindi ko sila hahayaang hawakan ang parteng iyon.

I drove my way to my favourite bar. I can't believe I just said to my parents that I have a boyfriend. Kahit ang totoo wala. But I don't want to get married!

Napahilot ako sa sintido ko saka lumiko ng daan papunta sa opisina imbes na sa bar. It's eight in the evening and my parents should be proud because I am workaholic. Pero kailan ba nila ako nakita?

I rolled my eyes before parking my car. Tuloy-tuloy akong pumasok sa loob ng kompanya. The ground floor is empty. Hindi ko maiwasang isipin ang mga sakripisyo ko sa kompanya na ito. I manage this right after I graduated because my sister doesn't want to. And of course, my parents favoured her and they made me manage this even though I am not yet ready that time.

Sinunod ko sila. I want them to be proud of me.

Pero kulang pa ba ang mga nagawa ko?

Atlast, I learned how to speak for myself, for the first time.

Naglakad ako papunta sa opisina ko. The cubicles are all empty. Nilampasan ko iyon pero may nakita akong isang bukas na computer sa dulo na cubicle kaya kunot noo ko iyong nilapitan.

Hindi pa ako tuluyang nakakalapit doon ay biglang may lalaking sumulpot. His hair is messy. Papikit-pikit siya na tila inaantok. Bahagyang bumagal ang paghakbang ko hanggang sa kusa akong huminto habang nakatitig sa kanya.

I smirked.

I didn't know that there is someone as workaholic as me in this company.

"Sh*t," rinig kong marahan na mura niya.

I raised my brow even though he still didn't see me.

Ilang sandali pa ay nakita ko na may tinawagan siya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pinapanood ko siya ngayon. I am just curious. Sino ang mag-o-over time hanggang ganitong oras? 

Ako lang. 

"Trish, I'm really sorry. I can't be with you tonight. I am trying to find some ways to gather the three million that we need. Huwag mo munang ipaalam kay Tito. Gagawan ko ng paraan. Ako ang bahala. Don't think about it too much. I love you. Pupuntahan kita bukas," he said over the phone.

Napahalukipkip ako.

I am amazed.

"F*ck," muling mura niya saka siya pabato na nilapag ang cellphone niya sa tabi ng computer.

"Mr. Villanueva," I muttered just enough for him to hear me.

Bigla siyang tumayo ng tuwid dahil sa narinig at mabilis akong hinarap. I saw his eyes widened. At kahit pa medyo madilim sa palapag na ito dahil patay lahat ng ilaw ay kita ko pa rin ang pagtaas-baba ng adams apple niya.

I stared at him coldly.

"Ma'am, Good evening," he said but I looked at him from head to toe.

I am handling this company for almost four years now. And I remember him being here during those years. Mas nauna pa siya sa akin sa kompanyang 'to. 

"Why are you still here?" I coldly asked.

We stared at each other's eyes. Bahagyang umawang ang mga labi niya saka siya bahagyang nag-iwas ng tingin sa akin. Naningkit ang mga mata ko dahil doon pero nang binalik niya ang tingin niya sa akin ay nagtaas ako ng kilay.

"May tinatapos lang ako," he answered.

Now I got to see his pointed nose. Bahagya niyang niluwagan ang necktie na suot.

Dahan-dahan akong humakbang palapit sa kanya. I need a boyfriend. And he will act as my boyfriend. 

"Mr. Zale Villanueva, right?" I asked with no emotions. Bahagyang nangunot ang noo niya pero tumuwid siya sa pagkakatayo nang mas lumapit ako sa kanya. Hinawakan ko ang necktie niya saka dahan-dahan iyong inayos habang nakatitig sa mga mata niya.

Of course, I know him. I know my employees.

Nagpipigil siya ng hininga kaya ngumisi ako ng kaunti.

"I have an offer," I said. Hindi niya inalis ang mga mata niya sa akin.

Amazing, right? 

The Ceo is near you, Mr. Villanueva. You should be thankful.

"What is it?" he asked. I wanted to roll my eyes when I heard his deep and solid voice.

"I'll pay you three million pesos," marahang sambit ko bago binitawan ang necktie niya.

"For what—"

"Be my boyfriend," I cut him off. His eyes widened. Dumaan ang pagtataka sa mukha niya. And I expect him to say yes but he shook his head. Tila namuhay ang kakaibang inis at galit sa loob ko dahil sa pag-iling niyang iyon.

I can't believe my employee dumped me.

"I know that you need three million so why won't you agree?" matigas na sambit ko. I won't lose my cool because of his nonsense rejection.

"Ma'am, I am engaged," he answered and I scoffed.

"Mr. Villanueva, do you think I'll make you my boyfriend for real? I just need someone to pretend to be my boyfriend for three months. Just three months and I'll pay you three million," pagklaro ko pero hindi nag-iba ang itsura niya. It's like he'll value his principles first before anything else.

"That's still cheating, Ma'am," he said so I scoffed again before slightly pushing his chest.

"Nonsense," I said before turning my back at him.

Tuloy-tuloy akong pumasok sa opisina ko at hindi na muli siyang nilingon. I can't believe those people. Pinakawalan niya ang tatlong milyon para sa walang kwentang bagay. I just need him to pretend. Hindi ko siya aagawin sa fiancee niya. The h*ll I care about that.

I checked some papers inside my office. Kaagad rin akong lumabas matapos iyon. I glanced at his cubicle and I found out that his computer is already off. I roll my eyes before walking towards the elevator.

At bumalik ang lamig sa itsura ko nang makita ko kung sino ang lalaking nakasandal sa loob na tila malalim ang iniisip. Pumasok ako ng walang kahit anong sinasabi kaya napaayos siya ng tayo at napatingin sa akin.

I don't usually interact with my employees. Pero ngayong nakikita ko siya ng malinaw sa pinto ng elevator ay hindi ko maiwasang punahin ang tindig niya. He looks good for a simple employee. Kung hindi ako pamilyar sa mukha niya ay baka isipin ko na isa siyang bilyonaryo na nagpapakasaya sa buhay.

Nagsalubong ang mga mata namin sa pinto ng elevator.

"Why do you need a guy to pretend to be your boyfriend?" he asked.

Nilingon niya ako kaya nilingon ko rin siya.

"Who are you to question me, Mr. Villanueva?" I asked. Umigting ang panga niya dahil sa sinagot ko.

Hindi siya nakasagot kaya nang bumukas ang elevator ay tuloy-tuloy akong naglakad palabas. I could feel his presence behind me. Pero kung ayaw niyang tanggapin ang gusto ko ay wala na akong pakialam sa kanya.

 Hanggang sa parking lot ay ramdam na ramdam ko ang presensya niya sa likuran ko. At nang makarating ako malapit sa kotse niya ay bigla niya akong hinawakan sa palapulsuhan. His warm palm is impossible in this cold night but I did not let it affect me.

Walang emosyon ko siyang nilingon.

"Bitaw," utos ko pero hindi niya ginawa.

"Hanggang kailan ang offer?" he asked so I raise my brow.

"I don't need your unsure answers, Mister," I said so he slowly let go of my wrist.

 "I'll think about it," he said without looking at me.

I scoffed before shaking my head.

"I repeat, I don't need unsure answers," I said before getting inside my car.

Pinaharurot ko ang kotse ko paalis at kitang-kita ko sa side mirror na nanatili siyang nakatayo doon. I smirked.

"Wala akong planong mang-agaw," I murmured.

    Chapter 2I woke up the next day because of my sister's call. Ayaw ko sanang sagutin pero dahil sa inis ay sinagot ko rin. "What?" I was a little bit pissed."F*ck you, Chloe! I had no time to slap you last night! Don't drag me into your problems!" she shouted so my blood boils."Why, Kyla? Or should I call you Ate? Why don't you be productive and stop being a spoiled brat? Oh, my bad. Mom and Dad like you a lot so you can do whatever you want," I sarcastically said and she laughed evilly on the other line."Yes, I am the favourite daughter and you are the cursed one. It's your fault anyway. Live with it," she said before dropping the call. Inis kong naibato ang phone ko dahil doon saka galit na tumayo mula sa kama.Cursed one?If my brother is still alive I won't be like this. Hindi sana ako naghihirap ngayon. Hindi sana ako ang nagbubuhat sa lahat ngayon. Why are they blaming me for what happened when in fact I don't know anything back then? My parents loathed me. They are all bla

    Chapter 3Nang matauhan ako ay ako rin mismo ang nagtulak sa kanya kaya naputol ang halik. After that I ran towards the exit."That won't happen again!" sigaw ko nang makalabas kami.That was a mistake!"I said I am engaged—""F*ck that! Kalimutan mo iyong nangyari kanina! Let's stick to our contract," I said and I am slowly losing my cool so I breathed hard before closing my eyes a bit.Nang medyo makalma ko ang sarili ko ay muli ko siyang tiningnan. I found him staring at me like a hawk."Did you hear me? Wala nang halikan na magaganap," I said while glaring at him."Ikaw ang lumabag sa kontratang ginawa mo, Ma'am," mahinang sabi niya kaya umirap ako.I am sure Kyla saw that. That's already enough for now. My main goal is to introduce him to my parents. And of course, they must like him.Dahil sa naisip ay bigla ko siyang tiningnan mula ulo hanggang paa. If it's the looks then he can literally pass."How much money do you have on your account?" I asked."Why? Importante ba 'yon?" ba

    Chapter 4"Ma'am, you still have an appointment—I'm sorry! I-I'm sorry!"My eyes widened when I heard that. Mabilis kong tinulak ng bahagya ang dibdib ni Zale at kapwa kaming nanigas dahil doon. Nagkatinginan kami at kapwang gulat-gulat pero mabilis akong nakabawi kaya ako ang naunang tumayo.I made sure that I look stiff and cool when I turned to my secretary. Namumutla siya at pabalik-balik ang tingin sa akin at sa kasama ko ngayon na dahan-dahang tumatayo at bahagyang tinataktak ang suit niya."What is it?" I seriously asked my secretary like she didn't see anything.Napalunok siya saka tumango."You still have an appointment po. Iyong isa sa restaurant ay ini-automatic cancel ko po. But you still have an important meeting," aligagang tanong niya kaya mabilis akong tumango saka naglakad patungo sa lamesa ko na tila walang nangyari.My heart is beating so fast right now but I chose to ignore it."I'll go," I said before glancing at my gold wrist watch.

    Chapter 5Hours has passed and when I woke up it's already Sunday. Sunday is my rest time and work out time but today I am so lazy and tired that I want to sleep more but I can't. I still need to revise the contract between me and Zale.Tamad akong bumangon mula sa kama sa papungas-pungas na bumaba sa unang palapag na tanging cellphone lang ang dala. Pero sana iniwan ko na lang ang cellphone ko dahil pagkabukas ko ito ay message kaagad ni Mommy ang bumungad sa akin.Mom:I heard your boyfriend from your Dad. How can you be so proud if your taste are like that? Disgusting.Napalunok ako at napatiim bagang dahil doon. I chose ko ignore it. I did not reply.Wala na rin naman akong magagawa kung iyon ang isipin niya. I am slowly learning and accepting every hurtful words from them. Kaunti na lang at masasanay na ako. Back then, I was so young when I realized that. After my brother died their other daughter also died for them.I want to complain. I could still clearly remember now how I cri

    Chapter 6"Get out now, Mr. Villanueva! We have nothing to talk about!" I shouted when we got inside my office.Tinapunan kos iay ng masamang tingin pero hindi siya umalis."No, my fiancee saw the news! She's mad at me!" he said in his controlled voice but it's still so loud that it made me even more angry.I laughed sarcastically."Then what? What do you want me to do? Are you f*cking crazy?! You accepted this and now you are acting like a bullied employee?! I f*cking paid you! Three million!" I shouted.My heart is beating so fast because of too much angriness. Kung malapit lang siya sa akin ay baka nasampal ko na siya sa pagtaas niya ng boses."Wala sa usapan natin na pwede itong kumalat," I said with his gritted teeth. Muli akong natawa ng sarkastiko at umiling na tila nababaliw."Alam mo na pwede pero bobo ka talaga!" galit na galit na sigaw ko kaya tumalim ang mga mata niya. Mabilis siyang pumikit na tila nagpipigil ng galit at nang muli niyang buksan ang mga mata niya ay nakita

    Chapter 7Punong-puno pa rin ako ng galit nang makauwi. Parang bumubuga ako ng apoy sa init na lumalabas sa ilong ko. I can't accept that it happen. Hindi ko matanggap na tinawag ako ng nakakainsulto ng babaeng iyon.She's no way near me.How dare she?And how dare Zale let her woman step on my property?Pilit kong inaalis ang galit sa katawan ko nang biglang mag-ring ang cellphone ko para sa isang tawag. Nanginginig kong kinuha iyon nang hindi tinitingnan kung sino ang tumawag."Sana hindi mo na sinampal si Trish. I can accept your slaps but—"Mas lalong umusok ang ilong ko sa galit nang marinig ang mga katagang iyon at ang boses niya."How dare you?!" I shouted. Buong-buo na kumalat ang boses ko sa unang palapag ng penthouse at tila gusto kong magbasag ng kahit anong gamit ngayon din."Itutuloy ko ang usapan natin. But I won't let her hate me so I told her everything. And her reactions were valid because I hurted her—"I laughed sarcastically."Do I have to thank you for that, Villa

    Chapter 8Biglang nag-iba ang oras ng kasal at huli kaming nasabihan. The time in the invitation was wrong. The wedding will start at three o'clock so here we are right now. Trying to change as fastt as we can because Mom's already flooding my inbox with her messages.Zale is done while I am not. I am still fixing my make up. This is pissing me off. Ayaw ko nang minamadali. Ni hindi ko pa naaayos ang buhok ko. I want to fix my curls but my mother will hate me even more if we'll be late. Matapos kong mag-make up ay mabilis na akong tumayo saka nilingon si Zale. The color motif for girls are peach so I am wearing a beack dress now while Zale's wearing his typical suit."Let's go," inis na sabi ko saka nauna nang lumabas.I heard that they are multi-millionare. They should have bought their own resort for the wedding. Or they should have rented this whole resort for them. Pagkalabas namin ng hotel ay kaagad kong natanaw ang venue sa dalampasigan. I shivered when I saw the strong waves.

    Chapter 9I slightly moved when I felt a heavy thing on my stomach. Dahan-dahan akong gumalaw. Hindi ko pa man nabubuksan ang mga mata ko ay ramdam ko na ang hapdi nito. At parang binibiyak ang ulo ko kaya unti-unti akong napadaing.I tried to open my eyes. I blink a lot of times to make my visions clear. At nang bahagyang luminaw ang paningin ko ay pinilit kong umupo pero iyon na lang ang paninigas ko nang makita ang braso nakayakap sa tiyan ko.My lips parted and my eyes widened in shock."What the h*ll!" sigaw ko saka mabilis na bumaba mula sa kama.That's the reason why Zale woke up. Napakusot pa siya ng mata niya na yila hindi alam ang gagawin. Kabado akong napatingin sa sarili ko at iyon na lang ay paghinga ko ng maluwag nang makita na suot ko pa rin ang damit ko kagabi. Same as Zale. "What the h*ll are you doing?" inis na tanong kong muli at tila doon lang pumasok sa isipan niya ang lahat kaya mabilis siyang umalis mula sa kama at nagmura ng maraming beses.I am not that drunk

    EpilogueChloe Lorin Navrus, she's unreachable but I can't believe I am able to kiss and hold her right now.Gustuhin ko mang lumayo at bumalik kay Trisha nang tapusin niya ang contract ay hindi ko kaya. I tried so hard to ignore the flame that I'm feeling for Chloe but I just can't.How can she act like a snow queen after what happened between us in Cebu?I can't f*cking sleep thinking that she can ignore me. She can push me that easily. Yes, ako lang ang baliw sa aming dalawa. Chloe Lorin Navrus can shatter me in small pieces. Siya lang ang may kakayahang gawin 'to.Kung alam ko lang na ganito. Sana hindi ko pinagbigyan ang sarili ko na magpanggap na boyfriend niya. Mas lalo lang akong nabaliw sa kanya. Mas lalo lang gumulo ang utak ko.But I have this toxic side.

    Chapter 57Hi! This will be Zale's Pov same as the epilogue. Thank you so much for supporting Zale and Chloe's story from the start until now.***Working in Navrus Corporation is already a lot sinceI was a fresh graduate when I entered here. Maganda silang magpasahod kaya hindi na ako naghangad pang lumipat ng ibang trabaho. This is fine. I am fine in this giant company. I am lucky because I got accepted."Akala ko ba si Ma'am Kyla lang ang anak nina Sir Navrus?" I heard my office mates talking while we are in the conference hall.Ngayon daw ipapakilala ang bagong magiging Ceo ng kompanya. We heard that it's the President's daughter.I am already two years working in this company and I've seen the President a lot of times. He's cold and strict. I've also seen his wife and their daughter. They are all elegant. Tila hindi basta-basta.But today, the younger daughter will sit as the Ceo. We haven't seen her.Lahat kaming mga empleyado ay tumahimik nang bumukas ang pinto ng conference ha

    Chapter 56Hindi ko magawang alisin ang tingin ko sa suot-suot kong singsing. It's so beautiful. So elegant. Kasyang-kasya sa akin. The diamond is so huge. It's worth of millions, I'm sure.Nawala lang ang pansin ko sa singsing nang maeahang gumalaw si Zale sa tabi ko para mas lalo akong yakapin. Dahan-dahan ko siyang hinarap at nakita ko ang inaantok niyang mga mata na nakatutok sa akin. It's already nine in the morning yet we are lazy to get up.Bumangon lang kami kaninang alas sais nang sumuka ako pero pareho ulit kaming bumalik sa pagtulog. Akala ko tapos na ako sa pagsusuka tuwing umaga pero unti-unti na namang bumabalik. My OB warned me about this. Nagbabago lang ng kaunti pero nandoon pa rin. But I'm thankful that Zale's always here to assist me."You won't work?" mahinang tanong ko pero siniksik lang niya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko."Mamaya na," he murmured and his hot breath tickled me.I let him in that position as we both play each other's hand.

I sighed before looking at her.She smiled like she's teasing me so I rolled my eyes."Where's your bodyguard?" tanong niya kaya muli akong napairap."He has work," I answered because Zale's fixing his investments. And he's trying to get more connections. "Oh," Kyla said. Naningkit ang mga mata ko dahil parang may ibang kahuguhan ang naging reaksyon niya."Umalis ka nga," inis na sambit ko pero ngumisi lang siya lalo."Aren't you insecure?" she asked. I glared at her but she's not affected. May gana pa siyang humalukipkip habang nakangisi sa akin."Leave," malamig at inis na sambit ko pero hindi siya natinag."He proposed to his ex. Pero sayo hindi," she said.Napalunok ako at naikuyom ko ang kamao ko dahil sa narinig. Tumawa siya dahil sa naging reaksyon ko saka nanunuyanh tumayo. "I'll go now. Don't ove

    Chapter 54I was really so eager to visit Dad in jail the next day. Kitang-kita ko ang pagdadalawang-isip sa mukha ni Zale nang makauwi kami sa penthouse house. He knows that I'll visit Dad today. "Ipaubaya mo na lang 'to sa mga abogado," sabi niya.Nilingon ko siya sa tamad na nakahiga sa kama.Gulong-gulo ang buhok niya dahil pagkarating namin dito kanina ay muli kaming natulog. And now he's seriously hot on my bed. Wala siyang damit pang-itaas pero nagmumukhang hubo't-hubad siya dahil natatabunan ng comforter ang pang-ibaba niya katawan.I'm almost done and he sill there on the bed."Kung ayaw mong sumama bahala ka," inis na sabi ko dahilan para unti-unti siyang bumangon."I told you, your father must be in jail but we don't know what can he still do. Nag-aalala lang ako," he reasoned out again so I rolled my eyes."May mga pulis doon, Zale. Just hurry up. Inis na inis na ako sayo!" inis na sambit ko pero lumapit pa siya sa akin para marahan na humalik sa pisngi ko. I rolled my ey

    Chapter 53Hindi ko alam ang mga nangyari. Hindi iyon klaro sa isipan ko. Malabo ang mga alaala ko. Basta paggising ko ay nasa hospital room ako. The last thing I remember was my hand full of blood and Mom's bathing with her own blood.Kaagad pumintig ng mabilis ang puso ko sa sakit at dahan-dahan akong umupo mula sa pagkakahiga dahilan para biglang mapabangon si Zale na nakatungo sa tabi ko."W-What happened?" nanginginig na sambit ko. Mabilis kong hinawakan ang tiyan ko.Tell me that I did't lost my baby.Tell me that my baby's safe."Are you okay?" mahinang tanong niya at hindi pinansin ang mga tinanong ko.I shook my head as I caressed my tummy."Zale, what happened?!" I demanded and that's when the door opened. Pumasok si Kyla na magang-maga ang mga mata at maraming dugo sa katawan.Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at kaagad na bumuhos ang masaganang mga luha ko. "Chloe," she sobbed and she went to me quickly. Mahigpit niya akong niyakap kaya mas lalong tumulo ang mga luha ko habang sinu

    Chapter 52The next day I forced Zale to call Kyla since he noted her number before he changed a sim card. Pero limang ulit naming ginawa iyon ngunit walang sumasagot.In the end we gave up and we called Mark instead. Pero walang alam si Mark sa nangyayari. Wala siyang balita and it made me so frustrated."Your Dad gave up. He realised that he can't force you," Zale said after calling Mark.Napabuntong hininga ako at napailing."No," sabi ko dahil alam kong hindi iyon mangyayari. I have this feeling that something will happen. Kinakabahan ako sa hindi ko malamang dahilan. Pero napangiwi ako nang malingunan si Zale na kampante lang na nakasandal sa headboard ng kama habang mapupungay ang mga matang nakatingin sa akin. Nawala sa isip ko sa mga iniisip ko saka ko tinuon sa kanya lahat ng pansin ko."Hindi pa ako sanay na ganito ka. This is your another version. Chloe Lorin Navrus away from her company hits really different," he said while staring straight at me.Marahan siyang umayos ng

    Chapter 51Sinabi niya sa akin lahat ng nangyari kung paano sila umabot sa ganoong plano. I listened carefully while we are cuddling on this medium sized bed. "When you didn't go home to me that night I immediately knew that something happened. Pero isinawalang bahala ko. I trust you. But I went crazy when I heard the news of your father's interview the following day. I followed your sister's car that night," he explained.I sighed.That's when my father's men nearly killed him."Hindi ka dapat pumunta sa bahay," sabi ko pero ngumisi lang siya ng sarkastiko saka umiling."Kung hindi lang ako napuruhan ay babalik ulit ako sa sumunod na araw. But I can't f*cking walk," he hissed.Napalunok ako saka napapikit ng mariin dahil sa narinig."Let's not talk about this," he said and I shook my head."No, I want to know everything," I insisted and he sighed."You need to rest," mahinang sabi niya saka mas inayos ang pagkakahiga namin.It feels illegal to be happy and content with him right now

Your Dad might track us," he whispered.Nanatili lang akong tahimik.I can't still believe that I am with him now. Mas lalong humigpit ang pagkakayakap niya sa akin. I close my eyes to feel the moment. And suddenly I feel asleep. Para bang sa ilang araw ay ngayon lang ako ulit nagkaroon ng maayos na tulog na walang inaalalang sakit.Nakatulog ako habang yakap-yakap niya. Ilang sandali pa ay naalimpungatan ako sa biglaang paggalaw ng sinasandalan ko. Dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang mga mata ko."Sigurado ka ba dito?" dinig kong sambit ni Mark kaya dahan-dahan akong umayos sa pagkakaupo. Zale immediately seek for my eyes so I sighed before gently nodded at him. I'm fine now."Anong oras na?" mahinang tanong ko saka marahan na inayos ang jacket na suot.Marahan niyang inayos ang buhok ko bago tumingin sa wrist watch na suot niya."Three AM, the ship will leave at five," he said so
