Love in Beta Chapter 186
Sa isang maaliwalas na hapon, si Maya ay nakaupo sa tabi ng isang café sa may tabi ng park, ang malamlam na sinag ng araw ay dumadapo sa kanyang balat. Sa harap niya, isang tasa ng kape ang nagsisilbing aliw. Ang kanyang utak ay puno pa rin ng mga tanong—pero sa pagkakataong ito, hindi na niya alintana. Sinasadya niyang magpahinga mula sa lahat ng kalituhan, umaasa na kahit sandali, ang tahimik na pagninilay ay magbibigay ng sagot sa mga tanong na nagmumulto sa kanyang isipan.It had been two weeks since that day, and everything had shifted slightly. Hindi na siya kasing takot tulad ng dati. Hindi na siya natatakot magtiwala, at hindi na siya natatakot mabigo. Siguro, part of it was because Ash had proven himself. Hindi siya nagmadali. Wala siyang iniiwasang expectations. He was just there, patiently waiting for her to open up, to find her own pace.Pero may isang tanong na hindi pa rin niya kayang sagutin. Ano ang future nila ni Ash?Maya wasn’t sure where things were going. They wer

Maya sat at her desk, staring at the screen in front of her, her mind elsewhere. Hindi na niya matanggal sa isip ang mga salitang sinabi ni Ash ilang araw na ang nakalipas. Ang tanong na “What’s next?” ay paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa kanyang isipan. Hindi siya natatakot—at yun ang unang pagkakataon na naramdaman niya iyon sa isang relasyon.She was learning to trust again. She was learning to be vulnerable, and with Ash by her side, it felt like she could take on the world.That afternoon, Maya met with her best friend, Ava, at their usual café. Nasa tabi sila ng isang maliit na lamesa, at habang hinihigop nila ang kanilang kape, hindi maiwasan ni Ava na magtanong.“So, how’s everything going with Ash?” Ava asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. “Are you two really… official na ba?”Maya chuckled, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. “I don’t know yet. We’re taking it slow. Pero… I think we’re getting there.”Ava’s eyes widened, obviously excited. “Ooh! So, you’re starting to rea

Maya woke up to the soft hum of her phone vibrating on the nightstand. She reached for it, squinting at the bright light from the screen as she checked the time. It was already 7:30 AM. Kailan lang ba naging ganito kaaga ang gising ko? She thought, half-smiling as she saw the notification from Ash.Good morning, love. I hope you slept well. Can’t wait to see you today.Her heart fluttered. Kahit simpleng message lang, it still managed to make her feel special. She sat up, rubbing her eyes as she thought about everything that had happened between her and Ash. For the first time in years, she was waking up with a sense of excitement, something she hadn’t felt before in a relationship.“Okay, Maya,” she muttered to herself, standing up to get ready. “One step at a time. Don’t rush this. You’re doing great.”---By 9:00 AM, Maya was already at the office, trying to focus on the stack of reports in front of her. But even with all the work, her mind kept drifting back to Ash. They’d spent t

Maya had been pacing back and forth in her apartment for the past hour, trying to organize her thoughts. Today was the day. It was finally happening. Ang araw na kung saan magkakaroon sila ng official na pag-uusap ni Ash tungkol sa pamilya nila, at kung paano nila ipapaalam ang tungkol sa relasyon nila. Maya took a deep breath as she stood in front of her mirror. She adjusted her dress one last time, smoothing out the wrinkles that didn't even exist.You can do this, Maya. For you and Ash. For the future you're about to build with him.Her phone buzzed in her pocket, pulling her out of her thoughts. It was a text from Ash.I’m here, love. Just a few more minutes, okay? I’m thinking of you.Maya smiled, feeling the warmth in her chest. She couldn’t deny it anymore—she was scared, yes, but she was also excited. Wala nang atrasan. They had agreed to meet halfway—sa isang café kung saan hindi sila magiging obvious sa mga tao. Their families didn’t know yet, but that would change today.Sh

Maya woke up the next morning with a sense of relief that she hadn’t felt in a long time. The events of the night before—telling both their families about their relationship—had been a success, despite the tension. She could still feel the weight of Ash's hand in hers, the unspoken promises they made, and the peace that slowly settled in her heart. She stretched, feeling the cool morning air through her open window. Sa mga sandaling ito, parang lahat ng takot at pangarap nila ni Ash ay nagkakasalubong. Maya felt like something big was about to happen—something good. But the reality of what they had done last night still hung in the air, kaya she couldn’t help but replay the events in her head. Ang unang reaksyon ni Reginald was a little cold, but Catherine had been surprisingly warm. Maya appreciated her openness. In the end, it wasn’t the approval of their parents that would determine their future. It was their choice, and that was the most important thing.Maya checked her phone.

Maya woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. Despite the whirlwind of emotions and challenges they’d faced recently, there was a sense of calm in her heart that she hadn’t felt in a long time. The love and connection she shared with Ash made her feel grounded, like everything would somehow fall into place.As she got out of bed, she stretched and looked outside her window. The morning sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft glow over the city. It was the kind of morning that made her feel hopeful, like a fresh start. Maya’s phone buzzed, signaling a message from Ash. She quickly grabbed it, her heart skipping a beat when she saw his name.Ash: Good morning, love. I know we’ve got a lot ahead of us, but I want you to know that I’m so grateful for you. I’ve never felt more sure of anything in my life. Let’s take this one step at a time, yeah?Maya smiled as she typed her response.Maya: Good morning, my love. I feel the same way. I know we’ll face challenges, but I be

Maya woke up the next morning feeling lighter than she had in weeks. Ang init ng gising niya, parang everything was falling into place. She glanced at the clock on her phone: it was still early. Ash had sent her a good morning message, and she couldn’t help but smile when she saw it.Ash: Good morning, love. Just wanted to remind you that I’m thinking of you. Have a great day, and I’ll see you tonight.Maya couldn’t stop the smile on her face. She knew they had a lot to figure out, pero for the first time in a long time, she felt ready for it. There were still challenges ahead, but with Ash by her side, she knew they could face anything.After sending a quick reply, Maya got ready for the day. She made her usual coffee, enjoying the quiet moments before the chaos of the workday began. Despite the busy schedule ahead, her heart was calm. She knew that whatever came next, she had someone who truly cared about her, someone she could rely on.---Work was hectic, like always, but Maya was

Maya woke up the next day with a sense of peace that she hadn’t felt in a long time. The night before was a turning point—when Ash finally told her that he loved her. It wasn’t just the words themselves that meant so much, but the sincerity behind them. Para kay Maya, it felt like the first real moment of complete vulnerability she’d shared with anyone in a long time. But while her heart swelled with love for Ash, she couldn’t ignore the uneasy feeling tugging at her—there were still things they needed to address.She stood up from bed and stretched, the soft rays of the morning sun spilling into her room. She had so much on her mind—about her past, about her present with Ash, and about the future she was slowly beginning to envision with him. Her thoughts immediately went to her mother’s words, the concern she had expressed about her relationship with Ash.Maya couldn't blame her mom. It was only natural for her to worry, especially after all the hurt she had gone through. Rachel had

One Year Later Maya adjusted the hem of her elegant yet comfortable white dress as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. It was a simple yet stunning piece—soft, flowing fabric that accentuated her curves without being too extravagant. She never imagined she’d wear something like this again, not after the last time she dared to believe in forever. But this time, everything felt different. This time, it was real. A soft knock on the door broke her thoughts. Ava peeked in, her hazel eyes shining with excitement. "Girl, ready ka na ba? Or are you still having your signature ‘Maya overthinking moment’?" Maya let out a soft laugh. "I’m ready." And for the first time in a long time, she truly was. Ava grinned, stepping fully into the room, holding a bouquet of white peonies—Maya’s favorite. "Good. Kasi hindi na makapaghintay si Ash sa labas. Para siyang batang binilhan ng bagong laruan. Halatang kabado pero sobrang excited." Maya’s heart swelled at the thought of him. Ash.
Love in Beta Chapter 235 (Epilogue)
Habang naghahanda si Maya para sa dinner date nila ni Ash, hindi niya mapigilang makaramdam ng konting kaba. Sa bawat galaw niya—pagpili ng damit, pagsusuot ng makeup, at pagkumpuni ng buhok—may halong excitement at nerbyos. Matagal na rin siyang hindi masyadong lumalabas ng ganito. Ngunit si Ash? He was different. Iba ang dating niya—kalmado pero intense, matalino pero humble, at higit sa lahat, totoo. "Ava," tawag ni Maya habang nagsusuot ng simpleng pearl earrings. "Okay na ba ‘to? Hindi naman masyadong formal, ‘di ba?" Naglakad si Ava papunta sa kanya at sinuri siya mula ulo hanggang paa. "Girl, you look hot. Pero ‘yung tanong talaga, ready ka na ba?" Napatingin si Maya sa salamin. Sa isang banda, handa siyang harapin si Ash, handa siyang malaman kung saan talaga patungo ang kanilang relasyon. Pero sa kabilang banda, natatakot pa rin siya. What if hindi pa rin niya kayang pagkatiwalaan ang pag-ibig? "Hindi ko alam," aminado niyang sabi. "Pero malalaman ko mamaya." --
Love in Beta Chapter 234
Maagang nagising si Maya kinabukasan, puno ng energy mula sa gabi nila ni Ash. Habang nagtitimpla ng kape, napatingin siya sa cellphone niya, nagbabasakaling may message mula kay Ash. Nang makita niyang may notification, isang ngiti ang gumuhit sa labi niya. Ash: Good morning, beautiful. Hope you have a great day ahead. Coffee na ba? Hindi napigilan ni Maya ang kilig habang mabilis na nag-reply. Maya: Of course, nauna pa nga yata ako sa’yo. Busy day ahead, pero worth it after last night. You? Agad namang nag-reply si Ash. Ash: Meetings as usual, but I’ll survive. By the way, I booked us dinner for Saturday. It’s a surprise.Napangiti si Maya. Isa na namang bagay na aabangan. ---Samantala, nasa opisina na si Ava, sinusubukang mag-focus sa trabaho. Pero sa totoo lang, nag-e-echo pa rin sa utak niya ang sinabi ni Julian kagabi. “I can’t ignore how I feel anymore.” “Ava, ano ba?” bulong niya sa sarili habang binabasa ang report sa harap niya. “Focus. Work first, emotions la
Love in Beta Chapter 233
Sa pagsisimula ng umaga, abala si Maya sa pag-aayos ng kanyang apartment. Hindi niya maikakaila ang excitement na nararamdaman. Sa kabila ng pagiging abala sa trabaho, hindi niya mapigilang maglaan ng oras para sa nalalapit nilang date ni Ash ngayong gabi. “Relax, Maya,” bulong niya sa sarili habang inaayos ang mesa. “It’s just dinner. Nothing too fancy.” Pero sa totoo lang, hindi lang ‘just dinner’ ang tingin niya rito. Lahat ng moments nila ni Ash ay parang espesyal, parang laging may kakaibang magic. ---Sa kabilang banda, si Ash ay nasa NovaSpire, nagtatapos ng ilang importanteng meeting. Bagama’t focus siya sa trabaho, hindi maiwasang magpunta ang isip niya kay Maya. “Sir Ash,” tawag ng assistant niya. “The board wants to finalize the budget proposal for the new SoulLink update.” Napabuntong-hininga siya pero ngumiti. “I’ll look into it tomorrow. Make sure Julian and Ava are looped in for any revisions.” Habang palabas ng opisina, iniisip niya ang sinabi ni Ava tungko
Love in Beta Chapter 232
Ang huni ng umaga ang gumising kay Maya. Bumangon siya mula sa kama, pinagmasdan ang sikat ng araw na tumatagos mula sa kurtina. Hindi na niya kailangan ng alarm clock sa mga ganitong araw; sapat na ang liwanag na pumuno sa kwarto niya at ang init na hatid nito sa kanyang puso. Ngunit ngayong araw na ito, may kakaiba siyang nararamdaman—hindi takot, hindi alinlangan, kundi pag-asa. Pag-asa na dala ng mga pagpiling ginawa niya nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Habang naghahanda, nakatanggap siya ng mensahe mula kay Ash. Ash: Good morning. See you later?Maya smiled at the simplicity of his text. Diretso, walang paliguy-ligoy, pero ramdam niya ang sincerity ng bawat salitang kanyang binibitawan. Maya: Good morning. I’ll see you later. Coffee’s on me this time.---Sa kabilang banda, si Ash naman ay nagmamadaling nagbibihis sa kanyang penthouse. Sa kabila ng abalang schedule bilang CEO ng NovaSpire, sinigurado niyang maglaan ng oras para kay Maya. Hindi na siya katulad ng dati—yung Ash
Love in Beta Chapter 231
Maya sat quietly on the couch, staring out of the window. The soft, golden light of the late afternoon bathed the room, making the whole place feel warm and cozy. Sa kabila ng lahat ng nangyari, naramdaman niya na unti-unting bumabalik ang kanyang lakas. May mga sandali pa rin ng pagdududa, pero sa bawat araw na lumilipas, natututo siyang tanggapin ang mga pagkatalo at tagumpay. It wasn’t about perfection anymore—it was about finding peace with herself and the choices she made.It had been a few days since their dinner, and everything seemed to be slowly falling into place. Ash, despite his responsibilities at NovaSpire, had been nothing but present in her life. It was easy to see that he was as invested in their relationship as she was. And for once, Maya felt no hesitation, no fear of abandonment. Hindi na siya natatakot na baka siya'y iwan, hindi na siya natatakot na masaktan. Maybe it was because she finally believed in herself, and because she believed in him."Hey, are you okay?
Love in Beta Chapter 230
Habang si Maya at Ash ay patuloy na nagsasama sa kanilang mga bagong hakbang sa buhay, may mga pagkakataon na ang mga simpleng bagay ay nagiging dahilan para magtulungan at magbukas ng mga pinto para sa mas malalim na koneksyon. Sa kabila ng kanilang mga takot, mga tanong, at mga hindi inaasahang sitwasyon, natutunan nilang tanggapin ang bawat isa, pati na rin ang kanilang mga imperpeksiyon.Isang linggo matapos ang kanilang getaway, umuwi sila sa kanilang mga routine. Ash, na balik sa NovaSpire at sa mga makukulit na meetings, at si Maya, na patuloy na abala sa kanyang mga proyekto sa kumpanya. Ngunit kahit abala, natutunan nilang makahanap ng oras para sa isa't isa. Ang isang simpleng dinner date ay naging ang pagkakataon nila upang magbalik-tanaw sa mga nangyari at planuhin ang mga susunod na hakbang."Alam mo, Ash, ang mga simpleng sandali na ito, kaya ko na ngayong tanggapin," sabi ni Maya, habang binabaybay nila ang kalsada patungo sa isang maliit na restaurant na paborito nilan
Love in Beta Chapter 229
Ang mga araw ay patuloy na dumadaan at para kay Maya, natututo siyang tanggapin ang lahat ng aspeto ng kanyang buhay. Dati-rati, lagi siyang nagmamadali, laging abala sa mga plano at mga bagay na kailangang tapusin. Pero ngayon, natutunan niyang huminto sandali at maglaan ng oras para sa mga bagay na mahalaga—para kay Ash, para sa kanilang relasyon, at higit sa lahat, para sa kanyang sarili.Isang umaga, habang nag-aayos siya ng mga dokumento sa opisina, nakatanggap siya ng mensahe mula kay Ash. Ang simpleng mensaheng iyon, na nagsasabing "Good morning, Maya," ay nagbigay ng ngiti sa kanyang mukha. Hindi na siya nagmamadali, hindi na siya natatakot. Kasi alam niyang kahit anong mangyari, nandiyan si Ash upang samahan siya.Nakatagilid siya sa mesa, pinagmamasdan ang cellphone habang iniisip ang mga tanong na patuloy na bumabagabag sa kanya. "Paano ba talaga ito magiging?" tanong niya sa sarili. Marami siyang mga pangarap at plano, pero hindi niya kayang ipagpaliban ang mga bagay na na
Love in Beta Chapter 228
Ang umaga ng araw na iyon ay puno ng mga pag-aalala. Habang umuupo si Maya sa kanyang desk, hindi maiwasang mag-isip tungkol sa mga susunod na hakbang. Ang trabaho, pamilya, at ang relasyon nila ni Ash ay nagiging mas kumplikado. Sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, may isang bagay na hindi kayang burahin ni Maya sa kanyang isipan—ang mga tanong tungkol sa hinaharap nila ni Ash.Nagdaang linggo, marami na silang napag-usapan ni Ash, mula sa mga plano para sa kumpanya hanggang sa mga personal nilang pangarap. Pero ang tanong ng "paano kung?" ay patuloy na bumangon sa bawat desisyon na ginagawa nila.Habang hawak ang kanyang cellphone, si Maya ay nag-aalangan kung tatawagan si Ash o hindi. Gusto niyang malaman kung ano ang naiisip nito, kung handa ba silang magtulungan sa mga bagong hamon. Ngunit bago siya nakapag-desisyon, tumunog ang telepono niya. Si Ash. “Good morning, Maya,” sabi ni Ash, ang boses nito ay malambing at maasahan. “Are you okay? I know you’ve got a lot on your plate lately.”M
