Guilty Pleasures SEVENTY-ONE
GALE'S POV"Nooooo!"A loud scream left my lips as I saw Adhara's car crashing to a ten-wheeler truck. Bumigat ang dibdib ko, at parang hindi ako makahinga habang tinitingnan ang wasak na sasakyan. Kusang tumulo ang luha mula sa mga mata ko.Mabilis kong itinigil ang sasakyan, hindi iniinda ang sakit na nanalaytay sa balikat ko. Bumaba ako at lumapit sa sasakyan. My heart was racing, fear consumed me.No! God, no! This isn't happening!Gusto kong paniwalain ang sarili ko na panaginip lang ito, pero ang eksenang tumambad sa akin ay patunay na totoo ang lahat ng ito.Wasak ang unahang bahagi ng sasakyan, at kita ko ang duguang katawan ni Adhara. Naipit ang dalawa niyang paa. Sa passenger side naman ay nandoon si Dominique. Wala siyang malay, at puno rin siya ng dugo. Kumabog ang dibdib ko nang makita ko ang dugong umaagos sa kanyang binti.Fuck, no! Our child!Wala sa sarili kong kinatok ang bintana, pilit siyang ginigising ngunit nanatili siyang walang malay. Ayaw kong isipin na... Hind

NIKKI'S POVThe bright rays of the morning sun touched our skin, making us feel a lot warmer today. I looked around, and took a deep breath, realizing how peaceful this place is.I stood in front of a grave. Nandito ako para magpaalam, at makipag-usap sa isang tao na matagal ng nawala sa mundong ito. This will be the last time, because after this, I will surely go somewhere far away."Are you sure about this?" Gale asked from behind me.Lumingon ako sa kanya at ngumiti. I've never been sure. Napagtanto ko na kapag hinayaan ko ang sarili ko na masaktan habang buhay, ako ang talo. Kasi ang taong nanakit sa akin ay matagal nang tahimik sa kabilang buhay, habang ako, nandito pa rin sa pahina kung saan puro sakit at pighati ang nararamdaman ko."Y-yes, I am." I cleared my throat. "This is the only way for me to move forward, Gale. I needed to let this one out. I need to let go of my pain, and my anger...""I know." He replied.Lumapit siya sa akin at marahan niyang hinaplos ang mukha ko, sa

NIKKI’S POV Nakabibingi na musika at makapal na usok ng sigarilyo ang sumalubong sa akin pagpasok ko sa bar. Under different circumstances, I would never find myself standing here, but today was an exception. Naglakad ako papunta sa bar counter habang manghang nakamasid sa mga tao na narito. Some women were dancing obliviously while men took advantage of their drunkenness. Napaismid ako habang pinapanood ang mga taong naghahalikan at halos magtalik na sa dance floor, mga walang delikadesa! Napahinto ako sa harap ng bar counter at wala sa sarili umupo sa isang high stool.

NIKKI’S POVThe bright morning light greeted me as soon as I opened my eyes. I stretched my arms a little and closed my eyes again while snuggling my pillow.Hmm, ang bango naman ng unan ko ngayon.I smiled as I inhaled the masculine smell of my pillow – napamulagat ako at napanganga ng imbes na unan ang hawak ko ay isang matipunong dibdib ang hinihimas ko. Inilibot ko ang paningin ko at doon ko napagtanto na hindi ito ang kwarto ko. Tiningnan ko ang sarili ko at agad akong napatili nang makitang wala akong saplot maliban sa mga undergarments ko.“Ahhhhhh! Anong ginawa mo sa ‘kin? Hayop ka! Hayop ka!” sigaw ko at sinakyan ko ang natutulog na lalaki at pinaghahampas.“Ouch! What the fuck!” ganting sigaw nito at biglang tumayo dahilan para mapaupo ako sa kama.Ngayon a

NIKKI’S POVI sat on my chair as I listened to the presenters for today’s meeting. Nasa conference ako kasama ang CEO at ang miyembro ng Board at kasalukuyan kaming nagpupulong tungkol sa monthly monitoring ng kompanya. Kasalukuyang nag-didiscuss ang Finance Department tungkol sa Sales at Trend ng kompanya sa nagdaang buwan, ngunit wala roon ang aking atensyon. Pilit ko man na kalimutan ang mga nangyari nitong nakaraan, ngunit parang bangungot ito nagsusumiksik sa kaibutoran ng aking isipan.Napatingin ako kay Dazzle na siyang nagsasalita sa harapan, pero pakiramdam ko ay hindi ko siya naririnig. Para bang nakatingin lang ako sa kanila, ngunit hindi ko sila nakikita. Nahulog ako sa malalim na pag-iisip at hindi ko namalayan na ako na pala ang susunod na magsasalita.“Dominique? Hey, Dominique!” napapitlag ako nang marinig ko ang sigaw ni Dad.Noon ko lang napagtanto na nasa akin na pala ang atensyon ng lahat. Napap

NIKKI’S POV“Shit! Ang haba naman ng buhok mo, Girl! Imagine, kaka-break mo lang sa ex mo na cheater, aba, may replacement na agad,” kinikilig na saad ni Camille habang naglalakad kami pabalik sa office.Hindi pa rin ako nakahuma sa nangyari. Matapos iyong sabihin ni Gale ay mabilis akong tumalikod at naglakad palabas ng cafe. Gulat at hindi ako makapaniwala. Bakit? Bakit siya tatawag sa akin? Sa anong dahilan?“What? What replacement are you talking about, Camille? Anong akala mo kay Vonn, spare parts ng sasakyan, o unit ng cellphone na madali lang palitan?” nakataas ang kilay kong tanong.“Alam mo, don’t waste your time crying over him. He’s not worth it,” saad nito at tinitigan ako.Napaiwas naman ako ng tingin sa kanya. Of course, I’ll be a hypocrite if I’ll say that I’ve already moved on. Ilang

NIKKI’S POV“N-napatawag ka?” napamura ako sa isipan ko nang marinig ko ang nauutal at gulat kong boses.Seriously, kailan pa ako na-intimidate sa taong kausap ko lang naman sa telepono?Narinig ko ang mahinang tawa ni Gale sa kabilang linya na lalong nagpa-init sa mukha ko. I shouldn’t be acting this way, Jeez!“Stop laughing, will you?” inis kong bulyaw sa kanya, pero sa halip na tumahimik ay lalo lang siyang natawa sa akin.“Titigil ka sa kakatawa o ibababa ko na itong tawag mo?” pananakot ko sa kanya na mukhang umobra naman dahil bigla siyang natahimik at napatikhim.“You’re really scary, milady. Kahit hindi kita kaharap ngayon, you still have the same effect on me,” kapagkuwan ay saad nito.Ramdam na ramdam ko ang mabilis na pagtibok ng pu

GALE'S POV"No! Dominique!" sigaw ko habang dinidiinan ang paghawak sa balikat ko, kung saan tumama ang bala.Dali-dali akong tumayo sa tulong ng mga magulang ko at susuray-suray na tumakbo palabas ng bahay. Sinubukan kong habulin sina Adhara, ngunit hindi ko na sila naabutan pa."Gale, we need to take you to the hospital!" histerikal na sigaw ni Mommy."No, Mom! I won't go anywhere until I find Dominique and Adhara. Call the police!" I instructed.Mabilis kong tinungo ang sasakyan ko at nagmaneho palabas ng village. She wouldn't have gone that far yet.I hissed from the pain that filled my system. Kinagat ko ang labi ko para pigilan ang pagsigaw. Sandali akong tumigil sa tabi ng kalsada. I tore a part of my shirt and wrapped it around my shoulder. Napapikit ako at napamura sa sakit, pero hindi ko iyon ininda. I have to find Dominique. Kapag may nangyaring masama sa kanya at sa anak namin ay hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko.I wasted no time. Muli kong pinatakbo ang sasakyan at mabil
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-NINE
NIKKI'S POVMy mouth parted and my heart started beating so loud, seeing the look on Adhara's face. She's standing on the doorway, her hands were inside the pocket of her black cloak. Hindi ko naintindihan ang kaba na biglang lumukob sa akin, hindi ko na siya makilala. She's far too different from the Adhara I knew a year ago.Siguro nga ay pagpapapanggap lang ang pinakita niya sa akin noon, pero gusto ko pa ring paniwalaan na may kabutihan pa rin sa puso niya. However, seeing her face right now, I could only think of the worse. Masama ang tingin niya sa aming lahat.I gulped when she started walking towards us. Instinctively, Gale pulled me to his side."What are you doing here, Adhara?" Gale's voice was stern, and serious."I came here to claim what's mine," she said.Napasinghap ako, lalo na nang makita ko ang kakaibang ngisi sa mukha niya. She looked like she lost her mind, and the way she laughed, I can't stop thinking that maybe she lost her sanity."Akin ka lang, Gale. You promi

NIKKI'S POV"I'm really sorry for everything..."Hindi ako makapaniwala sa narinig ko. Tita Graciella was sitting in front of me, asking for forgiveness. It was something I never expected. After all, hindi maganda ang naging huling pag-uusap namin.I cleared the lump in my throat, trying so hard to stop myself from tearing up. Something warm touched my heart, and I felt as if it was burning. I always imagined how it would feel to make amends with her. And now I knew, the word happiness will never fit the way I'm feeling right now."I know saying sorry isn't enough to compensate for all the damage and pain that I caused you, but please know that I am sincere. I'm really sorry for all the things I did," she said, her voice started to crack.Her tears spilled uncontrollably from her eyes. Something told me that she's not lying. Her eyes held truth, and genuine regret.Hindi ko na rin napigilan ang sarili ko na umiyak. Bumalik sa isipan ko ang lahat ng masasakit na salitang binitawan niya

LOUIE'S POVI glanced on my wristwatch, it's already a quarter past three which means she's already fifteen minutes late. I sighed, and told myself to wait for another fifteen minutes, and if she doesn't show herself yet, I will leave.The door suddenly opened, and I saw her walking inside with her eyes settling on me. Sa unang pagkakataon ay nakita ko siyang ngumiti ulit sa akin.Kumalabog ang dibdib ko at hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko. It's been years, but the regret I felt for not telling her the truth is still eating me."Gracie..." I whispered her name."Louie... It's been ages," came her reply.Binalot kami ng katahimikan. Nanatili lang ang mga mata ko sa kanya, pilit na inaalala ang dating Graciella na naging kaibigan ko. She's still beautiful and regal, the past years did a good job in maintaining her beauty.Habang nakatingin sa kanya ay napagtanto ko na iba na siya sa dating babae na minsan ay naging parte ng buhay ko. And along the memories of our friendship, the

GRACIELLA'S POV"Dominique is pregnant..."His words kept ringing inside my head. I couldn't take it! I wanted so bad to be mad at him, but when I looked at his eyes, I could see how happy he was. His eyes were filled with different emotions, and I knew it was all he ever wanted.Am I that heartless?Am I that selfish?Dominique stayed sitting on the couch, as Gale walked towards her, occupying the space beside her. He kissed her forehead, and it broke my heart. Gustong-gusto ko na hayaan sila, pero sa tuwing naaalala ko ang mga nangyari noon, hindi ko maiwasan na magalit.I trusted her parents, but they broke my trust.Unable to take the sight in front of me, I slowly backed down and left their apartment. Parang nawalan na rin ako ng lakas na pilitin pa si Gale dahil alam ko na mali ako. Alam kong mali ako, pero hindi ko pa rin talaga matanggap na sa dinami-rami ng mga taong pwede niyang mahalin, ang anak pa talaga ni Diana.Dali-dali akong sumakay sa sasakyan ni Ara na naghihintay sa
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-FIVE
GALE'S POV"Dominique is pregnant."My own voice resonating in my ears. Malakas na kumabog ang dibdib ko, lalo na nang makita kong nag-iba ang ekspresyon sa mukha ni Tito Louie. Alam ko, I haven't yet done much to prove myself worthy of Dominique, but this pregnancy was unexpected. Nevertheless, I don't regret having her pregnant. The only thing I felt upon knowing about it is pure happiness.Umigting ang panga ni Tito Louie, habang si Nicole at Camille naman ay parang na-estatwa at hindi agad nakapagsalita.Naramdaman ko ang init ng palad ni Dominique nang ipatong niya ang kanyang kamay sa kamay kong nanginginig."D-Dad..." bulong niya.Ramdam na ramdam ko ang kaba at takot niya. Kitang-kita ko sa kanyang mga mata ang pangamba."What's your plan now?" Tito Louie asked.His voice was strained, but he didn't sound angry. Napalingon ako sa kanya, ngunit wala pa ring nagbago sa ekspresyon ng mukha niya. Seryoso pa rin ito at hindi kakikitaan ng kahit anong emosyon.Napatingin ako kay Domi
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. We decided to let my family know first. As much as I wanted to invite Gale's family, I know it would only be full of tension and awkward
