Faded Memories (Isle Esme Series #1) CHAPTER 42.1
YesSinandal ko ang likod sa swivel chair sa office ko. I groaned when I felt my back ached. Buong maghapon nang araw na 'to'y puro meeting ang pinuntahan ko. I've been busy since we're planning to expand our Hotel, not just in Philippines but in Ireland too.For the last four years that I've been working in our hotel, nasanay na ako na laging puyat at maraming ginagawa. Kahit na laging pagod ay okay lang dahil para sa future namin ni Blake ang ginagawa ko.All of my hard work will paid off someday. Blake and I has been planning our future since he graduated from college. Hanggang ngayon ay nagta-trabaho kaming dalawa sa business ng family ko. Pero hanggang ngayong taon na lang siya since his own restaurant near in our Hotel are almost done by now.Tinotoo niya lahat ng sinabi at pinangako niya. He wants to build his own name by himself and he did that in four years. Lumalabas na siya sa mga interviews at magazine simula nang bumisita dito sa Hotel namin ang isa

"Oy, Pandak!" pinindot niya ang pisngi ko.I was still shocked because of what he said earlier. Umayos ako nang upo sa hita niya bago siya tiningnan ng seryoso.Day off namin pareho ng Sunday. And every Sunday we go to church and eat lunch outside. Simpleng date kumbaga pagkatapos no'n ay maggo-grocery kami at uuwi para mag-movie marathon sa gabi.Ganoon ang routine namin tuwing day off namin. Spend time together. Tapos ngayon, habang nanonood kami ng Armageddon ay bigla na lang siyang nag-alok ng kasal sa'kin."Ava, ang sabi ko magpakasal na tayo," ulit niya kaya halos manlaki ang mga mata ko habang nakatingin sa kanya."Y-you're really asking me to..." I gulped once again. "to marry me?"Humaba ang nguso niya. "It's actually a statement not a question. I'm not asking you to marry me, because it can be answered by yes or no and I don't want you to reject me... kaya walang tanung-tanong, pakasal na tayo."I looked at him for a second time then I rolled my

Engagement partyAfter being here in Isle Esme and having friends who are always there for me, it's really good but seeing one of them hurting is the one I can't afford. We are all worried about Gino finding that. Althea is getting married three months from now.And now seeing him here in Isle Esme, saying to us that he already saw Althea in Manila last month makes my heart ached even more."She's a different person now. She didn't even glanced at me and acted like she doesn't know me at all," malungkot na ngumiti si Gino. Umuwi si Gino kahapon lang. He's invited to Althea and Xavier's engagement party next week. Ang buong barkada ay nasa bahay nila Lucas at April.Sa susunod na linggo na ang engagement party ni Althea. We tried to contact her from her secretary but she didn't responds to us. Laging ang sekretarya niya ang sumasagot sa'min. Ilang oras kaming naghintay sa kanya na tumawag siya, pero wala."Are you sure Gino that you want to come with us

Kinabukasan nang umaga ay nilibot namin ang cruise ship. We had a fine breakfast at the buffet and in the afternoon noon we decided to swim.Glistening pool with an unforgettable vista beckons, that's the Pool Deck. Outfitted in teak accents which make it one of the most elegant at sea, the Pool Deck features a lavish pool and two whirlpools. You’ll also find an amiable and dedicated crew standing by to provide refreshing beverages and lounge chairs with plush towels.Si Kath at Simon ay nagbabangayan na naman."I can wear anything I want Simon and you can't do anything about that! This is my body and I have a nice body!" bulyaw ni Kath kay Simon.Simon is just being possessive again. Kath is wearing her blue two pieces. Kitang-kita ang hubog ng katawan niya. Sexy na siya noon, mas lalo siyang naging sexy ngayon. Her butt and boobs got even bigger too and she's getting the attention of every foreigner who looks at her."I know that you're sexy, pero minamanyak ka

Little BeanHindi pa rin kami makapaniwala sa nangyari. That's what Althea says before she vanished like nothing happened. Akala namin kakausapin niya kami sa engagement party nila ni Xavier pero hindi. Mukha siyang umiiwas sa'min, more like she's avoiding Gino. Akala namin maaayos na ang lahat, pero nakauwi na lang kami sa Isle Esme ay ganoon pa rin. Gino stayed here in Isle Esme dahil panahon ng harvest ng mga bulaklak.Maayos na ang lagay ng plantation nila ng bulaklak dito sa Isle Esme. Nakakapag-export na rin sila sa Manila at ibang bahagi ng bansa sa ngayon.Naging busy din ako sa Hotel namin. Blake's restaurant finally opened last week and it was a success. Ang dami agad costumer at maganda ang feedback ng mga tao sa restaurant niya. Kaya busy din siya habang ako'y pumunta nang Baryo Maligaya para tiningnan ang Hotel namin doon.We were away from each other for two days, but he managed to visit me there. Akala ko hindi siya makakapunta

Kaya ngayon ito ako at hindi maintindihan ang sarili. I rubbed my temple gently as I closed my eyes. Bigla na lang akong nahilo kanina habang nasa board meeting kami."Are you okay now?" my sister asked, worriedly.Pumasok siya sa opisina ko na may dalang pineapple juice sa baso at nilagay 'yon sa table ko. She sat in front of my table.Tumango ako bago uminom ang juice. "I'm fine now, Ate," tugon ko bag binaba ang baso sa table. "pagod lang siguro ako.""Mag-half day ka na lang muna kaya? Ako nang bahala sa meetings mo mamayang hapon." Umiling ako. "I can handle myself, Ate. Magpapahinga lang ako ng kaunti."Siya naman ang umiling. "I can't, Ava. Baka pagalitan ako ni Blake pagnalaman niyang masama ang pakiramdaman mo tapos hindi kita agad pinauwi."I pouted my lips. "Salamat, Ate Emerald!" tumayo ako bago siya niyakap."Of course, you're my sister and your health is more important than anything," She said, tenderly.I kissed her on her cheeks before I grabbed my bag. Diretso ako sa

Pain and confusionI couldn't move my body. I couldn't feel anything as if my body was numb enough to feel nothing. Parang naging manhid ang buong katawan ko sa nalaman. Masakit ang ulo at katawan ko dahil sa nangyari pero mas masakit ang nararamdaman ko sa puso.I shed my tears running down to my cheeks and I couldn't help but sob. I feel like I was torn apart because of everything they said to me earlier as soon as I woke up from comatose.All I could feel was pain and confusion. Parang sasabog ang ulo ko dahil sa mga sinabi nila. I was comatose for six months after being involved in a car accident six months ago. And here I am, laying in my hospital bed, confused and don't know what to do because I can't remember anything!"Mommy, call the doctor!" my sister said, panicking as soon as I woke up.Sumunod agad si Mommy kasama si Lola. Lahat ng tao sa paligid ko ay nag-aalalang nakatingin sa'kin habang ako'y lito habang nakatingin sa kanila dahil hindi

Nang makaalis ang nga tao at kaming dalawa na lang ang natira ay umupo siya sa hospital bed ko. There's still a little distance between us."So, may I know who you are in my life?" I asked, looking at him. "I mean, kanina ka pa nasa tabi ko and you even hugged me when you saw that I was awake earlier. You might be so important to me to act like that."He cleared his throat. "I-I don't want force you now. Hindi pa magaling ang sugat mo sa ulo."Tumaas ang gilid ng abi ko. "Pagpapakilala ka lang naman," usal ko. Marahan akong ngumiti sa kanya. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin kaya sinilip ko ang mukha niyang nakayuko."Seriously? You're not going to talk?" giit ko sa kanya."I want to... but I don't want you to hurt. Ang sabi ng doctor it might be risky for your health pag may mga bagay o sabihin ako na magpaalala sa'yo. Hindi ka pa magaling, Ava!"Nagulat ako sa medyo pagtaas ng boses niya. "Wala naman akong maramdaman na kakaiba sa'kin ngayon, Blake," sambit ko sa pan

EternallyI smiled widely as I hide my gift for him this New Year. Nilagay ko 'yon sa pinaka-ilalim sa loob ng maleta ko bago sinarado 'yon. Kinuha ko na ang damit na susuotin para mamaya. Lumabas ako nang kwarto namin at nakita siyang nagluluto ng hapunan namin. Lumingon diya sa kin bago ngumiti.He raised his thick eyebrows. "Today is New Year's Eve. Handa na ko sa regalo mo."Ngumiti lang ako. "Later, you're find out, blakey-baby," sambit ko. "bababa lang ako para sa reservation natin mamaya."Tumango lang siya at nagpatuloy sa ginagawa.

Right timeKinabukasan, nagising akong masakit ang katawan. I groaned when I feel so sore right now. I can't even moved my legs because it hurts a lot.Napabangon ako sa kama. Blake was still sleeping peacefully. Nakatagilid siya sa pwesto ko. I bit my lower lips, when I try to stand up. Dahan-dahan ay inangat ko ang sarili. Luckyly, I was able to stand up and walk. Kaya kong maglakad, kaya lumakad ako nang dahan-dahan papunta sa banyo. Masakit nga lang pero kaya ko namang i-handle. After I pee, bumalik ako sa kama namin.Nakita kong kakagising lang ni Blake. When he noticed I can't walk properly, he eventually went towards me."Are you okay?" He asked. Worried was written on his face while his he put his hand on my waist and other hand on my shoulder."M-masakit ng kaunti, pero kanya ko naman," sagot ko nang nakangiwi.Mabilis niya akong binuhat sa mga bisig niya at dinala sa kama. He carefully put me on our bed. Para akong babasagin na bagay at ingat na ingat siya sa paglagay sa'ki

"Ang daya naman!" reklamo ko habang tinapon ang baraha sa lapag.Ngumisi siya. "Anong madaya? Malas ka lang talaga, Pandak!" humalakhak siya pagkatapos kinuha ang lipstick ko. "come here."Sumimangot ako bago tinukod ang dalawang kamay at nilapit ang mukha sa kanya. Mariin kong napikit ang mata dahil sa lipstick na dumikit sa balat ko. He drew a large circle on my cheeks.Malakas ko siyang hinampas sa braso. "Ang daya mo talaga! Isang guhit lang,

TogetherWalang humpay kong hinampas siya sa dibdib. "I-I thought you're not coming!"He quickly grabbed my hand, pulled me closer to him and hugged me. "I'm sorry," malumanay na wika. "stop crying, please?"Humikbi-hikbi ako habang umiiyak sa dibdib niya, hindi alintala ang lamig na nararamdaman dahil nasa pinto pa kami nang apartment. He carefully caressed my hair. "I am so sorry, baby," He whispered.I continue sobbing. Para na akong nabaliw sa isip na hindi siya makakapunta tapos kanina pa pala siya nandito. Dahan-dahan niya akong inalalayan sa loob ng apartment.Diretso kami sa kusina at nilapag niya ang cake kasama ang bouquet of tulips. Suminghut-singhot pa ako habang kinukusot ang mga mata na nakatingin sa kanya. He opened the box of cake and put it in front of me. Sinindihan niya rin ang kandila bago umupo sa tabi ko."I-I you're really not coming..." umiiyak pa rin ako na parang bata sa harapan niya. "sobra akong excited na magkita tayo ulit. I tried to understand you when y

DisappointedKumain ako ng breakfast at nang sumapit ang ala-una ng hapon ay magpalit ako ng damit para mag-shopping. Since we're going to celebrate Christmas and New Year here, I'll just buy a gift for him.Malamig sa labas dahil sa snow kaya nagsuot ako ng makapal na damit. I grabbed a taxi to go to the mall. Nang makarating sa Mall mabilis akong nagikot-ikot. I also buy clothes and gift souvenirs to my family and Blake's family. Syempre, nabili rin ako ng mga regalo ko para sa mga kaibigan at ina-anak ko sa kanila.Malawak ang ngiti sa labi ko habang dala-dala ang mga pinamili ko nang tumunog ang cellphone ko. Mula sa bulsa ay sinagot ko ang tawag ni Blake."Hey," masiglang sambit ko. "just call me when you're already here.""Pandak, 'yon ang dahilan kaya ako tumawag," Mahinang wika niya.Kumunot ang noo ko habang naglalakad sa mall. "Bakit?"Natigilan siya sandali sa kabilang linya. Tila ba may gustong sabihin sa'kin. "Eh, kasi...""Kasi?"He sighed. "I can't go there today."Ako

IrelandHuminga ako nang malalim bago sumandal sa swivel chair ko sa office. Nihilot ko ang sintido bago ko narinig na may pumasok sa loob ng office ko. Then, I saw my secretary, Mich, walking inside my office with a glass of pineapple juice on her hand."Here's your juice, Ma'am Ava," She said, smiling.She put down my juice on my table and leave my office immediately. Uminom ko ang pineapple juice bago pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa. Nang matapos ako sa lahat ginawa ay ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang pagod. It's already dark outside but I can still see how beautiful the one of the most beautiful cities in Ireland, Dublin.Mula sa kinauupuan ko, kitang-kita ko kung gaano maganda ang Samuel Beckett Bridge. I can see how the lights of this city looks more beautiful tuwing sasapit ang gabi. Cobblestone streets abound, adding to the city's charm, it made me calm.Tamang-tama na lang na dito natayo ang Hotel namin. It's one of best spots here in Ireland. Where you

Nagising ako kinabukasan dahil sa sikat ng araw na tumama sa mukha ko. Bumangon ako para hanapin si Blake at nakita ko siya na papasok nang kwarto namin. He's wearing a maong pants and blue polo shirt. Kitang-kita ko tuloy ang muscles niya na naiipit dahil sa polo na suot.Magulo pa ang buhok niya at may hawak siyang tray na may laman na gatas at toasted bread. I also noticed that I'm now wearing my black lace panty and his long sleeve that he wore last night. Wala akong bra kaya alam kong kita ang dibdib ko dahil sa manipis niyang long sleeve."Good morning," He said as he sat down beside me. "kain ka muna nito tapos baba na tayo sa buffet dahil nandoon sila Papa."Inom ko ang gatas. "Okay," sagot ko bago kinagatan ang toasted bread. Napangiwi ako dahil kulang sa'kin 'to. Humalakhak siya nang mapansin ako. "Kulang?" He asked, laughing."Wala na bang mas masarap pa dito?" sumimangot ako. "hindi naman nakakabusog 'to, Blake!"Tumaas ang gilid ng labi niya. Tila ba may iniisip na kakaib

ContentedAs soon as we entered our room, his lips crashed into mine. My body was pressing against the door as his kissed became aggressive. Naging malikot ang mga kamay niya at agad na sumapo 'yon sa dibdib ko.Kahit na nakasuot pa ako ng dress ay ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng palad niyang marahan na humahaplos sa dalawang dibdib ko. I felt his tongue started penetrating my mouth, so I opened it widely for him.A moan escaped from my mouth when I felt his tongue sucking and biting my lips. Para siyang nangigigil sa bawat halik at haplos niya. He lips went down to my neck. Impit akong napahiyaw ng maramdaman na marahan niyang kinagat-kagat ang balay ko doon."F*ck this dress!" He cursed when he couldn't touch me there.Marahan ko siyang tinulak nang mapansin ko na parang gusto niyang punitin ang dress ko. "Don't rip it!""Ayaw natanggap, eh!"Napa-irap na lang ako dahil sa pagmamadali Niya. "E 'di, tanggalin mo nang maayos. Hindi 'yong sisirain mo!
