Today is her 60th birthday. And we were going to surprise her. All the things and foods are all set. Our whole family was complete from Mommy's side to Daddy's. Eric's family is already here too, he is only the one missing. I don't even know where he went up.
Tumango sila.
"Good, dahil paparating na sila!" I said excitedly.
I went up to my room to get my gift for her. As stepping the stairs I hummed Mom's favorite song. Exactly, when I putted it on the table. Brent used car 'Almera' beep a signed that they are already here. I signaled Bella to place on the door. She have something to do. I handed her the party popper. I also called Dad whose smiling now and presented him the cake.
"Good luck to us Dad!" I tap his shoulder and sit near the microphone. Hope it will be successful.

Around 10 am na akong nagising sa mahimbing na pagkakatulog. I checked my phone, a missed call coming from Bella and Eric. Hindi na ako nag-abalang tawagan sila pabalik dahil ang tanging nasa isip ko ay maabutan si Mom ng gising.Pagkatapos kung magbihis agad na tumungo akong hospital. Dala-dala ang resignation letter. Halos isang oras rin ang pagi-isip ko kung gagawin ko ba talaga ito but I have no choice. Kailangan ko naring suklian lahat ng sakripisyo ni Mommy sa kompanya ayaw kong mawala ito dahil lang sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari.Sapat na ang natutunan at karanasan ko sa Nascar, Maybe it's the time.Napahampas ako sa aking manibela ng maabutan ako ng traffic. PANIRA. I dialed the phone number of Dad."Good morning Dad, Gising pa si Mommy?" tanong ko sabay tanaw sa mga nakahelirang sasakyan dulot ng traffic."Uh-huh, Hinihintay niya daw ang princesa!" napangiti ako. "Where are you now?"

"Young Sis someone wanted to talk to you outside!" he articulated.Napatuwid ako ng upo sa sinabi niya."Sino?" Inayos ko muna ang aking sarili bago lumabas."Who knows. But I'm sure his one of your hundreds of admirers. He is the type of guy you really idealized, tall, nose-shaped, handsome, well-dressed and a model—Ouch!"Binatukan ko siya. Pinagsasabi ng lalakeng ito?"If that personalities you said doesn't match to the person I will be talking. Better hide younger brother cause you're dead!" I warned.When I got out of the room, I saw no man sitting. But a woman with a face who is very familiar to me.Humanda yung Brent nayon sa akin mamaya."Hi Dette!" nakangiti siyang kumaway sakin.

It was like we were in a market because of the crowd. Worse thing is they pushed themselves harder to come first on us.Ang kani-kanilang dalang mic ay halos magkanda-subsob sa mukha namin dahil sa paguunahan.Naabala ang ibang mga reporters ng namataan si Dad na paparating sa bukana ng hospital.At dahil doon nawala sa amin ang atensyon nila. Mabuti nalang at hindi sila basta-bastang makakapasok ng hospital kaya nakausap ko saglit si Dad."Dad—""Go to your Mom sweetie. Nagi-isa lang siya

"Kung ganun, kailangan na nating bumaba and go to the other building because that is where the household goods we sell restore,"Umayon siya sa sinabi ko. Hindi naman gaanong malayo ang building ng mga furniture namin dahil nasa gilid lang ito ng kompanya at malalakad lang rin ito.Habang pababa ang elevator ipinakilala ko muna ang aking sarili."Nakalimutan ko po yatang magpakilala sa inyo.

"Welcome to W's furniture, Ma'am!"The coolness and the smell of the aircon clash on us.The sales lady approaches to assist Mrs. Jenefer but I insisted myself to handle her kaya naghanap nalang siya ng ibang customer.Una naming pinuntahan kung saan nakalagay ang mga sofa."

Kaya gusto sana kitang imbitahing lumabas para naman makapag-usap-usap tayo!" Pambawi niya."We've been over for a long time, Justin. Don't you remember that?" napalakas kong saad.

"Can we talk for a moment?" he said nonchalantly.Bigla nalang kumabog ng malakas ang puso ko. Sa hindi mapaliwanag na dahilan bigla akong kinabahan. Sumunod ako sa kanya palabas hanggang sa huminto siya malapit sa fountain.Namataan ko si Tita Alexa at Tito Jeffrey na pasakay na sa kanilang SUV kasama si Zelai at kanilang personal driver."Hindi ka pa uuwi?" he stayed his cold stare facing at me. Pinagpagan ko ang upuan tsaka umupo at tinuro ang parte sa gilid ko ."Dito ka sa tabi ko, Babe!"Tila'y hindi niya ako narinig dahil ibinulsa niya ang kanyang dalawang kamay ng nakatayo parin sa harapan ko. Iwinagayway ko ang aking kamay malapit sa mukha niya. I saw frustration in his eyes."Dette, I have something to tell you!" Inangat ko ang tingin ko sa kanya. Ang mapupungay niyang mata ay napalitan ng pagiging malamig na titig."Oh bakit nagmistulang nawala ang endearment natin?" I tri

"Hop in, ihahatid na kita!"My wrist watch hands move to the quarter of 3 in the morning. I'll bet my eyebags will be so full. Para na siguro akong bangkay na nakatakas sa kabaong. But anyways,I still have a 2 hours left to sleep for my tomorrows schedule."Salamat talaga ng marami, Bella. Kahit gaano ay nabawasan ang bigat at sakit dito sa puso ko!"Abala siya sa pagmamaneho. "Wala iyon, dahil alam ko pag-ako na ang nagkaganyan gagawin mo rin ito sakin-Charot!"Umiling ako. Bella seems born to be a joker but enough not to hurt everybody's feelings. Sa kaunting minutong nakasama ko siya ay gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. She is a gift of gab. So glad to be her friend at all."Ingat ka!" I waved at her when I got down of her Morris Garage car. "Thank you ulit!"Some of our lights were off especially at my room. I'm already home. Nagising si Mommy when I opened our main door. Di kalaunan ay

He stood up firmly. He intertwined his hands on his back and walk beside me. I quivered when I smelled again his manly scent.Lumingon ako muli kay Bella pero binigyan niya lamang ako ng kakaibang ngisi at kumaway sa akin para makaalis na. She really left me here with him.Dinamay pa ni Bella ang sales lady na nagdala sa akin papunta rito. Hinigit niya ito papalayo sa amin. Does she know his coming? I doubted her gestures now."Well, I'm here to buy furnitures for my home. It look too spacious now and it so irksome. I wan't your furnitures to fullfill sa anumang kulang sa aking bahay." he asserted huskily.I gave him a fake smile. "Thank you for choosing our things to complete your house. The only thing I would say is, you will never regret on your decision!""I already regret one thing,""May sinasabi po kayo?" I asked bemusly. He shook his head. "Dito

"Can we go out, Dinner?" Justin asked genuinely.I smiled how he put some efforts convincing me to come. Para siyang teenager. Naalala ko ulit tuloy ang mga panahong lumalabas kami para mag-date. Sa kalaunan rin nagpatinaod na ako sa kanya. Sa isang magarbong restaurant niya pinahinto ang sasakyan kaya nakatitiyak akong dito ang sadya namin.Umikot siya at inalalayan akong makababa ng Mustang limited-edition niyang sasakyan. The waitress greeted us and guided where to sit. I was amazed when I saw the lights from the city. It was really a nice spot, kitang-kita rito ang kagandahan ng San Carlos.Lumapad ang ngiti ko when he handed me flowers."Thank you!" nanunuot sa ilong ko ang mabangong amoy ng mga ito. "But Justin-"He interupted me. "I understand. Alam ko naman talagang wala akong pag-asa sayo. Malakas ang kamandang ng isang Asterio sayo eh,"I smiled awkwardly. Kahit kailan tal

Hindi ko mawari kong napipilitan lang ba siya o galit sa pasya ng ina. He's hard to read now. At isa yan sa mga napansin kong nagbago sa kanya. Pansin ko rin ang limitado niyang galaw na para bang may maximum limit iyon. I sighed."Let's go." he firmly said.I looked at the girl bago ako tumalikod. She's not looking at me and Eric anymore instead na kay Tita na ang atensyon niya and she's smiling when Tita offered her to sit. Mahinhin siyang umupo sa harapan nito.My brows furrowed. How could this man leave his girlfriend like not existing. Hindi man lang niya ito tinapunan ng tingin bago tumalikod. Tsk. Poor girl and poor him.Pababa na kami ng hagdan ng pinauna niya ako. I stopped. Pinaningkitan ko siya ng tingin ng magtama ang mga mata namin."What?" he snorted like he didn't know what he did. Like he's clueless.Feeling inosente pa. Ngumuso ako."Bakit nakapadal

"If ever he will beg, please accept him back. He didn't mean it, he just did it in order to protect you. It is all my fault! Sorry."Her last words occupied my mind. Para akong lutang ng makalabas ng station. Hindi ko man lang naiintindihan ang sinasabi niya.Kung wala lang ang mga bodyguards ko sa aking kiliran tiyak na nabundol na ako sa kung sino-sino. I was really in my deep thought, is he reffering for someone? If yes, for whom?I was going to entered in the car when I saw a bunch of teens holding a cup of milk tea. Kumalam bigla ang sikmura ko.I roam around my eyes nagba-bakasakaling makakita ng malapit na milk tea-han. Pero bigo ako, tanging mga karenderya lang ang mga nakikita ko sa gilid. Ngumuso ako. I carassed my tummy, looks like I can't satisfied my cravings for today. Or maybe I'll just order it later on Grab."Ma'am may malapit lang po rito na starbucks," My moods lightened. Lu

"Slap me!" diretsahang pasya ni Railey ng madatnan ko siya sa visitor's area ng kulungan.I sat on the chair in front of her and placed my bag beside me. She was already wearing color orange shirt.After knowing that she was already in the jail, that alerted me. Pero kinabukasan nalang ako pumunta ng presinto dahil hindi ako pinayagan nila at delikado na dahil gabi narin.Hindi ko na pinasama sa 'kin sina Dad at Brent dahil alam kung napagod sila sa ginawa nila kahapon. But I was with my personal bodyguards naman para rin mapanatag ang loob nilang tatlo."I don't do that," I said coldly. I admitted na masyado ngang masama ang nagawa niya sakin pero sapat na ang makulong siya ang bilang parusa.Ngumuso ako. I wasn't that bad. I'm not kind of person."Ano masaya ka na ba ngayon? Nakita mo akong nandito at nilalamok. Sana naman ay pinapatay mo nalang ako sa Tatay mo o 'di naman s

"Sweetie, May lead na daw ang kapulisan kung saan maaring makita si Railey!"Naalerto ako sa sinabi ni Dad. Agad akong napabalikwas sa pagkakahiga. I placed the phone between my shoulder and ears at hinagilap ang mga gamit kong nakalatag sa mesa ng opisina ko.I messed it up noong nakatulog ako."Wait for me Dad, I'll go with you" I said in a hurry. Wala na akong pakealam kung magulo ba ang pagkakalagay ko sa mga gamit sa bag."No sweetie, No need." Kung paano ako nagmamadaling iligpit ang gamit ko ay siya rin namang kabilis pagtanggi ni Dad. "You need to rest baka mapano ka pa kung sasama ka. This is dangerous, Sweetie. Remember, You need to take care of every single time you move."I sighed and pouted my lips."But Dad--""Young Sis, Kami na ang bahala rito. Bagkus we're now far from where you are at sayang na sa oras pag binalikan ka pa namin. Or else baka tumaka

"Who ordered you to do this?"When it was calm, Brent was the first to ask. He gritted his teeth. We sat face to face with the three suspects with their hands behind their backs. The mouths of the three remained silent and could not lift their eyes to us."Sino?" he repeated coldly. Anytime ay parang sasabog na siya sa galit pag hindi pa ulit ito sasagot. Kung nakakamatay lang ang titig ni Brent tiyak na nalagutan na ito ng hininga kanina pa.Umamba siyang tumayo pero agad ring napigilan ni Daddy. He clenched his fist. Kahit si Brent ay naghuhurmitado na sa galit, isang salita lang galing kina Mom o Dad tiklop siya."Let them talk, Wag mo munang bubugbugin baka mas lalong itikom ang mga bibig niyan." Dad articulated with a sharp eyes towards the suspects. "Magsasalita rin iyan. Pinag-iisipan pa nga lang."Bumuntong hininga ng malalim ang nasa gitna. Sa tingin ko'y nasa mid 30's na ang edad.

After knowing Mom that I'm pregnant hindi na siya mapakali sa sitwasyon ko. Kung ano-ano nalang ang mapapasok sa ulo niya.Kung tutuusin para siya ang buntis sa aming dalawa. Mas stress siya kesa sakin."Is the baby healthy? Should I hire some bodyguards for you two?"Mom and Dad also knew that recently I was receiving some death threats. Kaya natural na hindi mawala-wala sa mukha niya ang takot."A personal nurse will it do?" si Dad sa mapag-alalang tono.Napangiti ako sa inasta nila."Don't worry the baby is healthy, no need for bodyguards and a nurse," mahinahon kong sunod-sunod na sagot. "Everything will be fine."Sinabi mo na ba ito kay Eric?" Brent asked.Natigilan ako saglit bago sagutin ito. Dad eyes were waiting for my answer while Mom bowed her head. I know that they will ask this matter. Eric."Hindi pa, Sigur
