Guilty Pleasures SIXTY
GALE'S POVI watched as Adhara backed away, and ran to the door with her tear-stained face. I let out a deep sigh. As much as I didn't want to hurt her, she chose this.Ilang sandali pa ay muling bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok si Mommy na galit na galit. Magkasalubong ang kanyang mga kilay, at bakas sa pagtaas baba ng kanyang dibdib na malapit na siyang sumabog sa galit. Her cheeks were red, and she doesn't look pleased at all."Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ka nagkakaganyan, Gale! I'm so disappointed in you! You promised to marry Adhara, and then when you met that wimp, you decided to simply forget your promise," aniya."No, Mom. Ikaw po ang hindi ko maintindihan. Why are you forcing me to marry someone I don't love? Wala akong pananagutan kay Adhara because the last time I remembered, she chose her dream over me," I replied coldly.Natahimik si Mommy, pero naroon pa rin ang galit at pagkairita sa mukha niya."Yes, she left, but she came back for you," she insisted."Mom, I already

NIKKI'S POVI was standing in front of an infant clothing, and I felt my heart beat racing. Habang tinitingnan ang maliliit na mga damit na iyon ay nakaramdam ako ng kakaibang init sa puso ko. I kept on wondering, how would it feel to have my own children.I see myself smiling while watching a little boy and a little girl, as they ran along the wide lawn. Nakaupo ako sa isang lounge chair, katabi si Gale na nakahawak sa bewang ko. Napangiti ako. It was such a happy thought."Kanina pa kita hinahanap, nandito ka lang pala—"Camille abruptly stopped talking when she realized we were standing in the children's section of the Department Store. As usual, hinila niya na naman akong mag-shopping upang maibsan ang stress niya sa trabaho."Buntis ka ba?" patili niyang tanong.Halos mabilaukan ako sa sinabi niya, lalo na at napalingon sa amin ang ibang mga tao. Hiyang-hiya tuloy ako, at agad ko siyang pinandilatan ng mga mata."Baliw ka talaga! I'm not pregnant, natutuwa lang akong tingnan ang m
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-TWO
GALE'S POVI watched as Dominique ate everything I brought her. I watched in amazement as she took the last slice of pizza, and ate it without even offering me. Napailing ako. It's kind of weird, and fascinating at the same time.Hindi ako makapaniwala na naubos niya ang isang box ng pizza. Not that I'm hungry, but it was just so weird. Is she that hungry?When I looked at her face, she smiled in satisfaction. Hindi ko maiwasang magtaas ng kilay, she's been acting really weird."Okay ka na?" I asked her."Yep, thank you love!" she replied.Nagulat ako nang bigla siyang lumapit sa akin, at nangunyapit sa braso ko. Inihilig niya ang kanyang ulo, at yumakap nang mahigpit. I smiled, she's never the touchy one, but now she's slowly softening. I kissed the top of her head."Love, nauuhaw ako," she said."Okay, I'll just get you some water," saad ko.Akmang tatayo na ako nang pigilan niya ang kamay ko, dahilan para mapalingon ako sa kanya. She looked so freakin' cute as she pouted her lips, l

Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-FOUR
NIKKI'S POVI paced back and forth inside our room. I was restless, and worried about my family's reaction to our news. Our pregnancy wasn't planned, but it was the best thing that happened to us. And I'm hoping that this baby may unite our family, and strengthen our ties."Relax, everything's going to be okay," Gale whispered, wrapping his hands around my waist and giving me a soft kiss on my shoulder blades.I instantly relaxed under his touch."How can I?" I whispered back."I'm here, hindi ko kayo pababayaan. I will fight the world for you, love," he assured me.I nodded my head, and turned to meet his eyes. I can see the sincerity and honesty brooding in his eyes. He gave me a small smile before lowering his lips to capture mine.A few minutes later, we were already inside the car, driving towards the restaurant where we had a dinner reservation.
