2022-01-08 12:56:12Asher was seating on the couch, holding an ice pack on his hand when I came inside.
"Ako na," saad ko sa kanya saka niya inabot sa akin ang hawak niya. I took a step closer to him and gently patted on the corner of his eyes. "Si Johnson ba may gawa nito?" Tumango siya.
"I deserve this," he said. Kita pa rin ang putok sa gilid ng labi niya. My heart clenched painfully seeing him in this state. "How was your talk with Dwight?" he asked while he was gently caressing my belly. I liked how Asher always asked me like what happened through out the day to me; he's always interested to me.
"Okay na kanina. Kumalma na siya. I explained, Asher. We were all hurt. I loved Dwight. He was the first man I've ever let in my life because I really hated men after my father cheated on my mother. You know that. But there's no saving when relationship couldn't be saved anymore. If there's something I've learned from our relationship is to never decide for your own. Dalawa kayo

Foremost Keeper Chapter XXXIV
Warning. This chapter is sensitive. I warned you.Nagising ako nang naramdaman kong nabangga ang ulo ko sa kung saan.Wait. I was moving. Where was I? My hand went to my aching temple and I realized my face stung.Nanlaki ang mata ko nang maalala kung ano ang nangyari.Kumunot ang noo ko. Si Terrence!"Don't panic, Jezrel. It's just me," the creepy voice from him welcomed me.I gasped in fear. God, no no. I tried to adjust my vision and I found myself inside his car."Terrence! Tigilan mo 'to, please! Ibaba mo ako!" I cried out. "Saan mo ba ako dadalhin? 'Wag ganito! Maawa ka sa'kin!"He threw me a fast glance. "Maawa? Are you hearing yourself, huh? I begged for your love but what did I get in return? Nothing. You just played with me."&nbs

"Kasalanan ko 'to, Dwight," paulit-ulit kong sinabi. Fuck! This was my fault! I should've taken care of them! I should've not let them alone there. I frustratedly raked my hair with my fingers."P're, we can't do anything about it." he said, trying to calm me. I tightened the grip of the bottled water I was holding.I was lucky enough that Dwight helped me. It took me a lot of beating from him for his forgiveness. Alam kong mali ako dahil minahal ko rin ang mahal niya. He also had to go to the psychiatrist. What happened last time was his last blow. I was glad that finally we're back to square but the bond that we had was not the same as how it used to be before.Fuck! I'm scared... I've never been this scared not until when their lives were on the line.Mahal na mahal ko sila, e.Itinukod ko ang kamay ko sa ulo ko at sinabunt

I wasn't able to sleep for the whole night as I had to take care of Jezrel who was peacefully lying.I caressed her hair and kissed her forehead. Pagkalabas ko sa kuwarto nakita ko si Dwight na papasok pa lang sa loob. Tinapik niya ako sa balikat. He placed the foods he brought then we found a place outside the hospital to sit together. We were both holding a cup of coffee, admiring the city lights from where we were."Jezrel is a strong woman," sabi niya saka uminom ng kapeng hawak niya. I couldn't agree no more. Because she was. After all, she was a fighter."I would say this again, Dwight. I'm sorry for betraying you." Humigop din ako mula sa hawak kong venti size. "I couldn't help getting guilty each day for falling for someone out of reach, especially knowing the fact that she was yours." Pagpapatuloy ko.I heard Dwight sighed. "We have already talked about this last time, right? It was my fucking fault, Ash. Inaamin ko na nagpabaya ako.

If there was anything I learned was to hold yourself together. Hold it. Keep it firm. No matter happens. For as long as you can. Because you only have yourself."Mama! Look! Ninang Kiana made me a new dress!" Joella was happily running around wearing the yellow dress. My heart melted seeing my now grown daughter.Ngumiti ako nang malawak sa kanya. "You look pretty, Joella.""Of course, Mommy! It's because you look so beautiful!" I laughed at her remark. "I'm just going to show this to Cholo, Mommy. He kept on teasing me, telling me I'm ugly!""Go lang anak."Everytime I look at my daughter, all I see her was myself back then who was happy, innocent and care-free."Jez, sigurado ka na ba talaga sa desisyon mo?" Diskumpyadong tumingin sa akin si Kiana."Oo naman. Pinag-isipan ko na ito nang matagal. Besides, tama na rin 'yung ilang taon naming pagtatago. It's time to go back."Sumisimsim ako sa iniimon na tsaa. Within the six yea

"What?" I held my breath for a long time, trying to process what he just said. "H-How?"Yumuko siya saka humugot nang malalim na hinga."I... I was really mad at him that I wanted to kill him with my own hands because of what he did to you... to us." He balled his fist as he remembered what happened. I knew where he was coming from. "Everything's a mess when you're away, Jez."I kept my gaze on Asher. But it's already a mess when we cheated on Dwight before. I stopped myself from saying those words."Tell me what happened, Asher. How did you kill Terrence?" I was eager to know the answer."I drove fast and the next thing I knew, I killed him. I was in jail for 2 years, Jez. I couldn'

"Mommy, are we going to Philippines?" kuryosong tanong ni Aiofhe habang nakaupo sa gilid at pinapasadaan ng tingin ang mga magazines. Pansin kong bata pa lamang ay sobrang mahilig na siya sa mga magazines, lalo na kapag tungkol sa mga damit. She's so interested on it.Tumango ako. "Yes nak. Remember Lola Andrea?""Yup. She's your mommy."I chuckled. "She's so pretty and kind like you, anak."Nangingiti siya habang binalik ang atensyon sa pagbabasa.Asher told me he would visit today again. We are also used to his presence. He was wearing a black basic statement shirt and black pants when he arrived. Napansin ko pa ang nakasukbit na gitara sa kanyang likuran. My heart hammered instant

I woke up another day as the rays of the scorching sun came into view."Summer na pala," I told myself as I got up from the bed.Days turned weeks. Weeks turned to years.A year has already passed. Asher was consistently communicating with us right after he flew back to the Philippines. He never missed a day to talk to us even through phone. It was difficult being apart from him again but I have to deal with it. It's his personal issue he wanted to overcome on his own. How brave of him to get therapy after everything that happened. We were all wrecked. I remember the time that I also had to endure PTSD after I gave birth to Aiofhe and the anxiety attacks I had after Terrence abducted me. Those were the darkest moments.I suffered from severe anxiety. The episodes of constant fear and worry that I always felt whenever I thought of Terrence. Na baka pagmulat ko ng mata ay nasa harapan

"What do you want to order?" I asked as I seated. He also sat adjacent to me."Just a juice will do," sagot niya. I ordered his drinks after.Nang makabalik sa upuan ay hindi ko alam kung ano ang unang sasabihin. I inhaled sharply before I spoke."How are you?" Sabay naming nasambit kaya pareho kaming natawa."Okay naman," sagot ko. "Ikaw?""Good. I was actually surprised that you called me. It's been a long time since the last time we met. You still look pretty," aniya. Nahiya naman ako nang kaunti sa sinabi niya."You and your compliments." I laughed."It's true. You've been alwa

Foremost Keeper Epilogue
Asher and Jezrel were happy with their family. Jezrel was now pregnant with their second child. Saksi ako sa mga napagdaanan nila. The smile on their faces was vivid. They looked so madly in love with each other. I couldn't ask for more.I guess this is how it ends. My first love whom I offered the world before finally settled with someone she chose to keep with for lifetime.Marco and Samara on the other hand, was happy too. I heard from him that Samara was pregnant with their third child. Sobrang sipag ng mokong. Natawa ako sa isipan ko.Johnson also finally got married. Akala nga namin ay walang balak eh. Pa'no 'tong tropa namin kahit dati takot mag-commit. Parang tanga. Nasaktan kasi 'yan dati kaya takot magmahal. But now look at him, he's now building a family with the love of his life and someone who she chose to keep with.Napangiti ako kapag iniisip ang mga pinagdaanan

"How sure are you with me?" She asked when we got home. We were lying on the bed while her arms are wrapped around me."I felt it. Ikaw lang gusto kong makasama, Sandra. Wala na akong ibang maisip na makasama kung hindi ikaw."Napangiti siya nang malawak. "Yieeee, kilig yarn?" pang-aasar ko pa."Edi wow, Dwight. S'yempre sure ka na sa akin. Ako ba naman pakakasalanan mo eh. Malamang sa malamang," pagmamayabang niya pa. Pinisil ko ang kanyang pisngi."Confident, huh?""S'yempre." Ngumisi siya. "I don't regret talking to you that night."Bigla ko rin naalala kung paano kami nagkita nang gabing iyon. When everything was blurry but then she came and gave me the light I was once hindered of. No'ng mga panahon na 'yon halos nabaliw ako sa ginawa ni Jezrel sa akin, pero ngayon makilala ko si Sandra. Worth it lahat nang nangyari. H
Foremost Keeper Chapter LIV
We try to work things out kahit may mga pagkakataon na hindi talaga kami nakakapag-usap nang maayos. Tulad ngayon, binabaan niya ako ng telepono. I vented out my frustrations on her which I shouldn't. I would be starting another project and it was killing me. Hindi na lang ako basta manggagawa, my father appointed me as the new president since he retired. And everything was heavy these days. Alam ko namang mali ako sa ginawa ko and I already apologized her. But she was not talking to me. Ito na yata ang pinaka-matagal sa phase ng relasyon namin na hindi kami nakapag-usap.I went to bar for a drink. It has already been days since Asher had been released. Unang hinanap nito ay alak. Baliw talaga 'tong mokong na 'to. Niyaya ko siyang uminom. Good thing, he was available."Nakausap mo na ba?" He inquired holding the glass of whiskey in his hands. Inikot ikot niya pa ito habang pinagmamasdan ang mga tao. He might really have missed the air outside. Lalo na dahil malakas tal
Foremost Keeper Chapter LIII
The first two months of not being with each other was so difficult. I wonder how do couples with long distance relationship? Never have I ever thought I would be in this state. My woman was away with me pursuing her dream and I was left alone here.Our communication was okay. It was more than okay. I had difficulty adjusting with her time zone but I was trying hard for her and she also did the same.I've seen her fashion walks online and her name was starting to become quite popular. She was new on that field but she managed to fight all the hurdles on her own. I couldn't be more proud with her.I already took the bath and today was our schedule for video call in Face Time. I was too to reach her but there wasn't response. Nag-message na ako sa kanya pero wala pa rin. This was the hardest being in this situation. You cannot just go to her when you want to. I was also busy with several projects. Inis kong bingasak ang phone ko dahil hindi pa rin siya sumasagot.

One night when we were at her condo. Sandra broke a news that made my heart devastated."I'm going to work abroad," she said.My eyes widened and my muscles tensed. "Why?" I tried to remain calm even though my voice was about to betray me."Napag-isipan ko na 'to matagal na. I want to pursue my modeling career abroad.""Are you sure? Or baka nagmamadali ka lang?""Yes, Dwight. I have to do this. I was scouted for a fashion week in Paris.""What about us?" I asked with my voice broke. "What about me, Sandra?"She cupped my face. "We can still work our relationship naman. We won't lose our connection.""I can't... Sandra... Mababaliw ako 'pag hindi makita."Her eyes brimmed with years. "Dwight naman... Please allow me to go. This is for me. Kaya naman nating gawan ng paraan, e. LDR

Alessandra feels home. Whenever I'm tired from work, I would go straight into her condo and sleep there. Mas madalas na nga akong matulog sa kanila kaysa sa bahay ko. She was no on the kitchen cooking when I went to her. Sa tuwing nakikita ko siya ay palagi akong nakangiti. Maingat na naglakad ako papalapit sa likiran niya. I hugged her and planted little kisses on her neck. "Stop it," she mumbled. The grin on my face did not disappear as I continued giving her sweet kisses on her neck until it reached her earlobe which was her sensitive part. "Ano ba, Dwight, parang tanga." She turned around to face me. Nakuha niya pa akong irapan bago ibinalik ang tingin sa ginagaw

"Do I have another scheduled appointment?" I asked my secretary beside me."None for today, Sir," he replied."That's nice. Sa wakas." I massaged my temple. It's been an exhausting day. My eyes were tightly shut. When was the last time I had a proper rest?Kanina lamang bumisita kami sa site para sa bagong project. Some Engineers were also with me. Bumalik naman kami bago mag-lunch."So, magbabakasyon ka talaga?" Johnson asked me while we were at his pad. Pagkatapos kong mag-trabaho ay dumiretso ako sa kanila. There's nothing to anticipate life these days. It feels like I'm just floating in the air, waiting to die. This feeling sucks. Ang mga kaibigan ko masaya. Si Marco ay may bagong anak. Si Johnson naman ay may pinakilalang babae k
Foremost Keeper Chapter XLIX
Just when I thought I won't be seeing this woman, I saw her again right in front of my eyes, still surprise of our another encounter. Funny how the destiny was playing with us.She sat down across me. I recalled how we ended up at her condo. We shared about each other's agony that time when we were in a bar drinking. I was grateful for her staying with me the whole time. That was the moment I had someone I shared my burdens with. That was nice, honestly. We were both each other's company. I thought I won't be seeing her again. She was a stranger and still a stranger. She looked frustrated though. Marahil ay dahil nahihiya rin siya sa mga naikuwento niya."I didn't expect this." Pinaypayan niya pa ang sarili. Kumuha siya ng isang basong tubig saka uminom. Ganoon din ako. "Do you like me?" I almost spitted the water on my mouth with how b
Foremost Keeper Chapter XLVIII
When you're cheated, what should be the first thing to do? To blame yourself over and over again, asking yourself what have gotten wrong? Or to hate those who cheated behind your back? To tell you honestly, I didn't know what to feel. My mind went blank and the first thing that popped out was to get my gun. When Jezrel told me she was pregnant. My body was numb. Asher, my best friend, my brother whom I trusted the most betrayed me. Gusto ko siyang saktan nang saktan! Pinaulanan ko siya ng suntok. Because the fuck, what did I even do to deserve this? Alam ko naman may kasalanan ako. Pero tangina bakit sa lahat ng tao kaibigan ko pa? I kept on punching him. I was livid! Paano nila
