Sandaling namanhid si Gael sa kanyang nasaksihan. Panandalian niyang kinumbinsi ang sarili na imahinasyon niya lang ang lahat. Na nasa maayos na lagay si Charlie at walang kaguluhan na nangyayari sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. He even tried to blink a few times—willing the dreadful scenario away from his head. But when he opened his eyes, his bride, his wife still laid there on the cold ground, bleeding.

With his chest constricting, he tried to stand up, wanting to go to Charlie as soon as he can. But his bodyguard nearby kept him from doing so. Anger burned his skin in an instant. He had to go Charlie and no one, not even the damn death god himself could prevent him from doing so.

He turned himself onto the ground, lying on his back, and gave the bodyguard hovering over at him a straight jab to the jaw. Napaupo ito, bago siya mahilo-hilong binitiwan. He took that chance to crawl his way to Charlie, who fell near the entrance of the church.

    It was a manic day for Charlie. No. It was chaos spelled in all caps. She was supposed to wake up an hour ago for her scheduled appointment. But because she and Gael stayed up late yet again last night, there she was rushing to fix herself so she could run to where she’s heading to for the day. “Hey, slow down, beautiful. You’ll hurt yourself,” nakangiting sabi ni Gael sa kanya, sumandal pa sa hamba ng pinto ng walk-in closet niya—looking so handsome with just his lounge pants on and nothing else. “Go away, Gael. You know I cannot be late today,” sabi niya habang naglalagay ng sunscreen sa mukha. She’ll need lots of those sa pupuntahan niya. Gael chuckled. “Bakit, hindi ka naman late a. You still have at least an hour and a half to spare.” She scoffed and picked up her blush powder. She won’t wear her full make-up today. “An hour and a half spare that I’ll spend for travel. You know how’s Manila traffic in the morning, Gael. It’s one of the worse and I can’t afford to be late toda

    “Are you ready?” tanong ng Mommy ni Charlie sa kanya. She filled her lungs with air and gave her mother a slow nod. “Yes,” she replied smiling. Gumanti ng ngiti ang Mommy niya, nangingilid ang luha. Masuyo pa nitong inabot anag kanyang pisngi. “I wish you all the happiness in the world, sweetheart.” “Thanks, Mom,” sabi niya bago niyakap ang ina. They stayed like that for a while bago sila nakarinig ng katok sa pinto. “Hey, the music’s starting and all the guests are waiting. Don’t tell me may balak ka pang itakbo ‘yang anak mo, Sam,” said her father’s familiar voice outside the door. Natatawa nilang binitiwan ng Mommy niya ang isa’t-isa. Sandaling nitong pinunasan ng panyo ang gilid ng mga mata nito bago siya muling nginitian. “Let’s go. Your Dad cannot wait to give you away… officially,” pabirong sabi ng Mommy niya bago inabot sa kanya ang kanyang bouquet. When her mother opened the door to her room, she was met by her father’s loving gaze. “Finally,” anito, nakangiti. He gave

    “Again? Pero puno pa ang fridge niyan, love. Nakita ko kagabi nang bumaba ako sa kitchen,” reklamo ni Gael kay Charlie nang muli siyang maglagay ng dragon fruit sa cart. They were out grocery shopping in a local grocery store in Cancun. They have been staying there for a week now in celebration of their second wedding anniversary. It was a trip she didn’t really want to take at first because she easily gets tired lately. But when Gael told her that she will call the shots every time, she was in in no time. She rolled her eyes and faced him. “Can’t you get it? I’m not buying them for me to eat. I’m buying it because they looked cute,” pagrarason niya, muling naglagay ng dalawang piraso pa ng nasabing prutas sa cart. Gael huffed. “Should I buy you a dragon fruit farm?” “Of course not!” sabi niya, muling naglakad sa aisle ng prutas na kinaroroonan nila. “What about a grocery store then? You want me to purchase this grocery store for you?” Namawaywang na siya at hinarap ang asawa.

    "Charlie, hindi pa ba tayo uuwi?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Jasmine kay Charlie.Awtomatikong nabitin sa ere ang sana'y pag-inom niya ng tequila na nasa shot glass na hawak niya. She smiled at her bestfriend who has this familiar worried look on her face. "With that look on your face, we'll be here in an hour more or two," pabirong sagot niya bago tuluyang ininom ang alak.Not a second more, the bitter taste of the drink burned her throat but it was not enough to keep the worries of the day away.Sumimangot si Jasmine. "Ang paalam natin kay Daddy madi-dinner lang tayo, hindi tayo maglalasing," reklamo pa nito bago ininom ang laman na alak ng sarili nitong shotglass.Lihim siyang napangiti. Jasmine has always been reserved even when they were in high school. Madalas kasi itong ma-bully dahil common knowledge na inampon lamang ito ng mayamang pamilyang kinalakihan nito—ang mga Benitez. But she's glad that Jasmine is slowly gaining her confidence to move within their circle. She's even down

    Nagmamadaling lumapit si Gael sa kani Jasmine at Charlie at marahan silang iginiya palabas ng club. Pagdating sa entrance, nakita niyang pumarada ang pamilyar na big bike ni Gray Samaniego, Jasmine's family friend, sa harap ng club. She hasn't seen Gray in a long-time. Three years to be exact. Gray took off his helmet, got off his bike and walked over at them in few long strides. "Thanks for the heads up," anito kay Gael bago bumaling kay Jasmine. "C'mon, Jasmine. I'll take you home," pormal na pahayag nito bago iniabot ang hawak nitong helmet sa kaibigan niya. She felt Jasmine's hand tightened on hers. Kung bakit, hindi niya alam. It took a few more seconds before Jasmine let her hand go and hesitantly took the helmet from Gray. "M-mauna na 'ko, Charlie. I-I'll text you when I'm home," anito bago tuluyang naglakad patungo sa big bike ni Gray. She would've wanted to send Jasmine off but Gael quickly took her hand and led her back to her car. On the way, nakasalubong nila si Theo

    Walang ganang hinahalo-halo ni Charlie ang soup na nakasilbi sa kanyang harapan. She and Theo were at Rancho Italiano having dinner. Sila lang dalawa dahil hindi pinayagan si Jasmine ng Daddy nito na lumabas. Honestly, she doesn't know what happened to Jasmine after their failed night out three days ago. Pero mukhang nalaman ng Daddy nito na nagpunta sila sa club at muntik nang mapahamak. Hindi niya kasi ito masyadong nakakausap these past few days dahil may pinapagawa raw ang Daddy nito. But she had a feeling na mukhang napagalitan ang kaibigan dahil sa kanya. Her friend's adoptive father is a retired general. It's a given na istrikto ito sa anumang bagay. She chewed the insides of her cheeks, guilt slowly filling her heart. Mukhang nalagay pa niya sa alanganin si Jasmine dahil lang sa gusto niyang magrebelde dahil sa pagbabalik ni Gael sa buhay niya. Gael. Lihim siyang sumulyap sa labas ng restaurant. She saw Gael standing beside her car talking to her other bodyguards. Maya-ma

    "Getting a solid connection with the Mondragons will give SSL an opportunity to finally work with the European market. We've been working on that for ages, Sam. But every effort doesn't seem to prosper. Maybe Charlie's marriage with Theo will do that. We need to enter the European market. In that way, SSL will be more stable when Charlie takes over.""I know that but... it's marriage, Aaron. I feel like we're selling our child over some business connection.""Please dont put it that way. I feel awful when you say that word sell. Hindi naman natin ibebenta si Charlie. We are just giving her and Theo a slight push. Besides, mukhang gusto naman ng mga bata ang isa't-isa. They even went out with just the two of them tonight for the first time. If that isn't a sign that they like each other then I don't know what is.""What if Charlie will not agree with the plan?""Oh, she will. She's a good girl. Trust me, she will."Charlie balled her fist as she recalled the conversation she overheard

    Marahang ibinaba ni Gael ang bottled water sa bedside table ng kanyang kama. It's 2 o'clock in the morning. He should be sleeping dahil maaga pa ang trabaho niya bukas. But sleep is elusive when his whole being is full of unrest.Bakit hindi? Nasa harapan niya mismo si Charlie, sleeping peacefully like a beautiful angel she is on his own bed.A soft smile formed on his mouth.Gising na gising siya subalit pakiramdam niya nananaginip pa rin siya. Bakit hindi? Bukod sa galit ito sa kanya dahil sa ginawa niya rito noong debut party nito, maraming mga mata ang nakabantay rito. Kaya nga siya nagtataka kung bakit ito nakatakas ngayong gabi... at nagpakalasing pa nang mag-isa.He huffed and slowly shook his head. Matapos niyon, marahan siyang umupo sa gilid ng kama at pinagmasdan ang anghel na natutulog sa kanyang higaan.Was it when she gave him her cute heart-shaped pancakes? Or when she gave him her handmade birthday card for him when she was 6? Or was it every succeeding heartwarming ges

    Kanina pa nasa harap ng salamin si Gael subalit panay pa rin ang pag-aayos niya sa kurbata ng kanyang suit. The damn thing just won’t align!Frustrated, he took it off altogether and huffed.He’s anxious for some unknown reason. Gray, who arrived last night, said at it must be the wedding jitters but he refuses to believe so. He’s just on edge because he didn’t get to see his wife and son for hours now. Sneaking in at Charlie and Levi’s hotel room crossed his mind a few times last night. With his skills as a former elite boduyguard, he could do that with no sweat involved. But his grandfather gave him a talk about keeping his word and just wait until it’s time for them to meet at the altar again. Subalit naging sobrang napakahirap niyon sa kanya dahil sa iisang hotel lang silang naka-check –in na mag-anak—just different floors. Idagdag pa na talagang makulit si Tala at panay-panay ang pagbabantay sa mag-ina niya, h’wag lang niyang makita ang mga ito.Gray told him to have a little dr

    Lena was in the bathtub for hours now. She was watching the tiny drops of water coming out of the faucet as they join the already cold water she was soaking her body in. On the background, she can hear the news from the old TV— the dreadful news she had been hearing for her entire week now. Gael is getting married again… to his wife Charlize. When Gael broke up with her more than a month ago after he had learned about her deceit, she had always been on the run since. Her father and the authorities were after her. She cannot afford to get caught. Especially not by her father. She just knew that when her father would find her, he’ll punishher for ruining his plans. And with her state right now, she knew she'd die with just one blow. Tears fell from her eyes as her heart wracked with pain. She remembered the days when her life was better, when she had so much hope, and when she was still loved. Oh how she wished she could go back. For now, she had lost all of those and slowly losing

    “You did what?” hindi na napigilan pa ni Charlie ang magtaas ng boses dahil sa sinabi ni Tala.They were at the private office of her husband. Doon niya ito dinala upang makapag-usap silang dalawa ng pinsan nang masinsinan. Kaya lang, ilang minuto pa lang tumatakbo ang usapan nila, pakiramdam niya gusto na niyang sumuko. “I got married,” pag-uulit ni Tala. “H-he's a prince," alanganing dugtong nito, namumutla.Her eyes widened even more. Did she hear her right?"I’m sorry, what?"Tala released a slow breath. She looks flustered as she was. "Knoxx is a prince of a small country called Maritria. It’s somewhere in the Mediterranean. I don’t know more than that. I stopped my research the minute I’ve learned that his family was related to the British royals.”She paled and gasped aloud. "You married into royalty?!" she asked in disbelief, her voice a notch higher.She had always known her cousin to be troublemaker, wild like how the world put it. But Tala really outdid herself this time.

You are a fast learner just like you Dad.” Nagmamadaling lumingon si Levi kay Charlie. Her son’s eyes were sparkling with pride. “You heard that, Mommy? Grampy said I learn fast like Dadddy!” Charlie chuckled and walked over at the bed where Levi and Aksel were. She reached for her son’s cheeks and gave it a gentle pinch. “I heard that, sweetheart. Now why don’t you go with Jacob for a while and let me help Grampy with his food,” aniya. Mabilis na ibinalik ni Levi ang mata kay Aksel at nagmano sa matanda. “Bis später, Grampy! (See you later, Grampy!)” bibong sabi ni Levi bago lumabas sa silid ni Aksel. “You raised a really smart boy, Charlie,” ani Aksel nang sila na lang dalawa ang naiwan sa silid nito. "That's because you are a great teacher, Aksel. Don't you agree?" she said as she helped Aksel sit on the bed. The old man chuckled and spoke som

    “Here, have some coffee,” ani Charlie habang ibinababa sa harap ni Gael ang tasa ng kape na siya rin ang may gawa.Nag-angat ng tingin si Gael sa kanya. His eyes, just like the few days that have passed, was distant—gloomy. It was as if she's not there. O mas tamang sabihin na nasa iba ang isip nito. He forced a smile. “Thanks, love,” anito bago tahimik na dinala ang tasa sa bibig nito.She released a slow breath and sat on the chair in front of her husband. They were at the balcony of the Bernstein mansion. It was already late afternoon and the sun was beginning to set on the horizon. But she feels like Gael’s day was just about to start.Ito kasi ang nagbabantay sa lolo nito sa gabi. Mula nang dumating silang mag-anak sa Germany halos tatlong araw na ang nakararaan, hindi na natigil sa pag-aalala si Gael sa lolo nito. Why wouldn’t he?
