Kissing The Scars Kabanata 39
Case “Hija, inumin mo muna ito…” Ma’am Fiona handed me a glass of water. Umangat ang ulo ko at tinanggap ko iyon sa kabila nang panginginig ng mga kamay ko. “Thank you, po.”She nodded with a little smile on her lips and slowly sat down beside me as she caressed my back and seemed to be consoling me.“How are you? Vixon already told us what happened,” she said.Muling nanubig ang aking mga mata. Sinubukan kong magsalita ngunit walang lumalabas na kataga sa bibig. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa nakita.“It’s okay. Don’t force yourself to speak…”Tumungo ako at pinilit uminom ng tubig. Hindi pa rin bumabalik ang lakas ko dahil sa nangyari. “Wait, I’ll just get some first aid. You have wounds on your arms,” she noticed. Tumango lamang ako kaya umalis na siya. Dahan-dahan kong nilingon ang braso ko na halos tuyo’t na ang pulang likido.Mukhang nakuha ko ang sugat nang umakyat ako sa bintana para makatakas.Nangangatog pa rin ang kamay ko nang inangat ang baso at mu

DenyingTulala ako nang ihatid ako ng ina ni Kaleb sa isang bakanteng kuwarto sa kanilang tahanan. Kahit anong pilit kong umuwi ay hindi nila ako hinayaan. The documents precisely indicated my father's case. Ayoko pang maniwala pero awtorisado ang mga dokumento. Lalo na nang nakita ang background niyang impormasyon na kasama kami ni Mama. Napatingala ako. Napahawak sa naninikip na dibdib. Akala ko magiging maayos na ulit ang buhay ko nang nakilala ko siya, ngunit mukhang mas lalo pang naging komplikado. “Kumain ka muna, dinala ko na ang pagkain mo rito. Alam kong hindi ka sasabay sa amin.”“Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin ang lahat?” kompronta ko.Umangat ang mata ko sa kaniya. Nilapag niya ang tray ng pagkain sa ibabaw ng kama sa kabilang side bago lumihis ang ulo patingin sa akin. He licked his lips as he slowly sat down beside me. Umatras ako ng kaonti at nanatili ang kaniyang tingin sa akin. “K-Kailan mo pa alam?” nanginig ang boses ko. “Noon pa…” he paused. “Sa Alcatraz,” da

Truth“See, it was you?!” I hissed after showing his scandal as I turned off his phone and threw it at him. My tears continued streaming down as my heart felt so heavy. Gusto ko lang naman malaman kung saan ako nagkulang sa kaniya.Yes, I may be young at the time when we entered into a relationship. Though I still always understand him. I do always my best to be mature enough so that my young age would not be a burden to us. “Do you really believe in that?”Payak akong natawa. “Bakit hindi Kaleb, huh? Hindi posibleng gawin mo nga iyan dahil palagi kang nawawala noon! Palagi akong nagtatanong pero paulit-ulit mong iniiba ang usapan. At kahit isang paliwanag mula sa’yo ay wala akong narinig!” sikmat ko sa kaniya.Nabigo ako sa planong hindi na muli siyang kakausapin. Nabigo akong huwag nang halungkatin ang nakaraan. Subalit heto ako ngayon, kinokompronta siya, sumisigaw at umiiyak para sa katotohanan na matagal niyang itinago sa akin.Nandoon na rin ang pagnanais na malaman kung anon

Beg“Baby, w-what happened?” I asked, feeling nervous.“Ah! Mommy, where are you? I’m s-scared. There are a lot of guys here. T-They also hurt Yaya Lilita-”“Tangina, iyong bata!” rinig kong sigaw ng boses lalaki sa kabilang linya.“Khloe! Khloe! Baby what’s happening there?!” natataranta kong sigaw ngunit tuluyan nanf naputol ang linya.Muli kong sinubukan tawagan ang numero ngunit hindi ko na ito makontak. Nanlumo ako at nanginig ang buong katawan.Please, no. Not my Khloe.Another fresh tear rolled down my cheeks as I continued calling Lilita’s phone but it was already out of coverage. “No, please…” I kept on mumbling to myself while panicking, not until I heard their voice.“Who’s Khloe, Kyline?”Napakagat labi ako nang dahan-dahang umangat ang ulo. Napatingin ako kay Kaleb at Vixon na magkasabay na nagsalita habang rumaragasa ang luha sa aking mga mata at nagmamakaawang hinawakan ang kanyang kamay.“Please, I need to go back to Australia as soon as possible, I need help…” I beg

Breathe "Kyline!" sigaw nila sa akin ngunit agad na akong patakbong lumabas ng kotse. Nanlabo ang paningin ko dahil sa nakahambang luha. Ang sinungaling niya! Napakasinungaling niya! Sasabihin niyang mahal niya ako pero may anak pala siya sa iba? Malalaki ang hakbang kong naglakad nang maramdaman ang kamay na kumabig sa akin. Napaharap ako sa taong iyon at napasubsob sa kaniyang dibdib. "Tumatakbo ka naman palayo…" bulong niya. Mariing pumikit ang mata ko at pilit tinanggal ang luha. Ayokong ipakitang apektado ako sa nalaman. Ayokong ipakita na pagdating sa kaniya ay nanghihina pa rin ako.Mabilis ko siyang itinulak palayo at matapang na sinalubong ang kaniyang mga mata. "Kailangan ko ng makuha ang anak ko...""You shouldn't run again with me, Kyline. This place is dangerous," bulong niya. Tinanggal ko ang kaniyang kamay na nakahawak sa akin at lumayo. "Kailangan ako ni Khloe—""No, you will stay inside the car. And we'll save our daughter.""Hindi puwede! Sasama ako sa loob!

Scar"W-What happened? W-What should I do?" natataranta niyang tanong.Kahit ako ay parang na blanko ang isipan at hindi rin malaman kung anong gagawin. Nangangatog ang buo kong katawan habang malakas ang pagkabog ng dibdib."M-Mom…"“B-Baby again, inhale and exhale-”"Kuya!" Sabay-sabay kaming napabaling sa mga dumating dahil na rin sa gulat. Nanlalabo ang paningin ko dahil sa luhang nakaharang sa mga mga ngunit hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang dalaga. Nabuhayan ako ng loob nang nakita ang kapatid ni Kaleb. "What's happening here?" tanong nila nang nakalapit. Agad kong tiningnan ang dalaga. "Do you have the i-inhaler with you? I saw you holding it—"Tumango ito kahit na bakas ang pagtataka."Here, it's still unused," alanganin niyag inabot sa akin. Agad kong kinuha iyon ay nilagay sa bibig ni Khloe. Alam kong nakatutuok silang lahat sa akin at mahinang nagtatanong ngunit kahit isa ay wala akong pinapansin. Desperada na akong umayos ang paghinga ng anak ko."Baby, use this one t

ForgivenessWhen Papa brought me to Australia after knowing that I am pregnant. He stayed with me for a couple of months. I also met his parents who are already old but unfortunately, Lolo died after.Papa took care of me. He paid attention and he always gave me everything that I needed.He's been good to me and I could see how he regretted leaving my mother, the reason why as time passed by, I slowly genuinely accepted him being part of my life."Sweetie, I have to go back to the Philippines. But I will be back here," aniya. Tumango ako kay Papa habang nanonood ng TV. "Ano po bang business n'yo?" tanong ko. Tumawa lamang si Papa at ginulo ang buhok ko. He's always like that. Every time I was asking about his business he constantly changed the topic. "Do you want to meet your sister? She can go here if you want," Papa said. Naninikip ang dibdib ko. Pilit kong tinatago ang pait na nararamdaman. But this is one of my dreams… having a family aside from my mother. "If that's okay wi

Until now she's still trembling and her eyes are swollen. But I'm glad that she's still fine despite what happened. Humigpit ang yakap niya sa akin. Pinunasan ko ang luha sa kaniyang mga mata at marahan na hinagod-hagod ang likod. "Shh, it's alright, baby. We are safe now. Mommy is proud of you. You are very brave…" I whispered full of bliss as I gaze in Kaleb’s direction. Nakatulala ito kay Khloe. Namamangha, namumula ang mga mata."I'm still scared, Mommy… there's a lot of bad people..." hikbi nito kaya niyakap ko siyang muli."Mommy is here now baby, we are safe now…" Muling pumalahaw ang iyak ni Khloe. At dumagundong iyon sa buong apat na sulok ng silid. Napabalik-tanaw ako kay Kaleb nang suminghap ito na animo'y hindi alam ang gagawin. Umangat ang kamay niya na para bang gustong hawakan si Khloe ngunit

Kissing The Scars Special Chapter
SPECIAL CHAPTER Kaleb Oliver Villaruz Naalimpungatan ako dahil sa ingay na nagmumula sa sala. Dahan-dahan akong nagmulat ng mga mata at napansin kong bukas ang pintuan ng kuwarto. Lumingon ako sa tabi ko at wala na roon ang asawa at anak ko kaya agad akong napabangon mula sa kama at nagmamadaling lumabas ng silid. Diretso akong nagtungo sa living room dahil doon nanggagaling ang ingay. Nang makababa ay doon ko lamang napansin na may ibang kasama si Kyline. “I miss you so much.” Nangunot ang noo ko dahil pamilyar ang boses sa akin. Dahan-dahan akong lumapit dahil nakatalikod ito sa akin habang kayakap si Kyline. “Nagtatampo pa rin ako. Ang tagal mong nawala at hindi nagparamdam,” sambit ng asawa ko. Mahina akong tumikhim upang makuha ang kanilang atensiyon at hindi nagtagal ay sabay silang napalingon sa akin. “Hi, honey,” si Kyline na ngumiti sa akin. I smiled back at her as I walked toward her. Nang nakalapit ay agad ko siyang h******n sa ulo pababa sa pisngi. “Hoy mahiya

Kaleb Oliver VillaruzAs time passed by, nothing changed. There’s nothing to improve about the investigation because they stick to what they know. I am not losing my hope even day by day it could break me down. Did I fail to protect her? Is this the payback for my sacrifices?I buried my face in my office desk as another fresh tear rolled down my cheek. “Please baby, come back…”I immediately fixed myself when I heard someone knocking. I don’t want them to see how desperate I am now. I wiped my tears as I spoke. “Come in,” I said calmly. No one knows how hopeless I am. How miserable my life was day by day without my girlfriend. I pretended to check all the resort sales when I notice Mommy appeared.“Mom, what brought you here?” I asked without looking at her because my eyes don’t lie. I hear Mommy close the door as she walked toward me.“Your father is in a meeting and the resort is slowly going back to normal. We are very proud of you…” she expressed. I nodded. “Thanks, Mom. Whe

Kaleb Oliver Villaruz The following days were not been easy. After a day of spending time with her almost every day, I got busy at the same time Kyline's school started. I admit whenever I am with her I am always distracted and I even forgot my job because all I want is to be with her. And the most unexpected day happened when my mother gets kidnapped and thankfully that Owen and his team are immediately taking action. It was a successful mission by saving Mommy because the syndicates group didn’t aware that we are arriving. On that night they planned to assail the warehouse they traced for the past few days when someone give them a lead on this place.“Cousin, you should stay in the car or you should go home. This is not your job anymore,” said Owen which makes me shook my head as I held my gun tightly. “Just let me help you with this. I wanted to catch who dare to hurt my mother,” I insisted. “But it quite dangerous-” “I will be a careful cousin. I can defend myself.” Hindi

Kaleb Oliver VillaruzSince that day, I have been pretending to be a delivery boy in my cousin's restaurant. It's way better so I could slowly be friends with her.Baka kasi kapag nalaman niyang mayaman ang pamilya ko ay layuan niya rin ako. Knowing that she hates wealthy people. And that proves that she's such a simple woman with a nice personality.And I still remember the day I saved her from that asshole who tried to harass her inside her apartment. I was blaming myself for being late. Kung hindi sana ako unang umalis hindi mangyayari sa kaniya iyon. I was in the SM store to buy something for her. Nagmamadali akong bumalik ng resto ngunit napansin kong wala pa siya. “Miss, dumating na ba si Miss Gamboa?” I asked nicely.Ngumiti ito sabay iling ulo kaya agad na nabalot ng kaba ang dibdib ko. I was about to call her but damn it, I forgot my phone in my unit. Dali-dali akong sumakay sa dinadala kong motor sa pag-deliver at pinaharurot ito pabalik sa apartment. And I never thought t

Oliver Kaleb Villaruz (POV)Napabalikwas ako nang bangon mula sa higaan nang nakarinig nang pagkahulog ng isang bagay mula sa kung saan.Pupungas-pungas ang mga mata kong bumangon at agad napalingon sa aking tabi. I immediately smiled genuinely when I saw our little angel peacefully sleeping. I stared intently at Khloe's face as I slowly neared my face to her. My eyes watered and no words could define how happy I am knowing that she's my daughter. Our daughter. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa lahat.They said, I already did my best to find Kyline before. But it feels like it was not enough. I still felt useless.Kung ginawa ko lang sana ang lahat hindi aabot ng anim na taon bago ko nalaman na may anak ako sa babaeng akala ko hindi na ako mahal.My tears rolled down my cheeks while pecking a soft kiss on her cheek.Hindi ko man lang siya nakita noong lumabas siya. Hindi ko man lang na alagaan ang mommy niya habang nasa sinapupunan siya nito.Hindi ko man lang sila na

Home"Nasaan tayo?" tanong ko nang makababa mula sa sasakyan.Sinarado niya ang pinto bago diretsong lumapit sa akin. Umakbay bigla ang kaniyang braso sa aking balikat."Wait, I need to cover your eyes," halakhak niya at sunod na tinakpan ng tela ang aking mga mata.Sumimangot ako."Ano ba ‘tong pakulo mo Kaleb? Baka pinagtitripan mo ako, ah," sambit ko.Mahina lamang siyang tumawa at inalalayan akong humakbang nang matapalan ng tela ang aking mata."You will like this for sure," paninigurado niya.Hindi na ako umimik pa. Malakas na tumatambol ang dibdib ko habang sinusunod ang kaniyang mga sinasabi.Hanggang sa unti-unti kong naririnig ang pagaspas na alon ng tubig at ang preskong hangin na humahampas sa mukha ko.Napangiti ako, na-relax ang sarili at naalala ang mga biglaang pangyayari sa mga nakalipas na buwan.After the unexpected tragedy, everything prevailed. Villaruz's hidden enemies planned everything to try them down but Villaruz's siblings are too good to be defeated.Furthe
