ROOM 808. It was just a normal night at kwarto lamang ito sa iba, ngunit para kay Rosa, ito ay isang masamang panaginip. She never saw the man who made love with her or even knew his name. Ang naalala lang niya, ang kakaibang init at minty na labi nito. After being planned and trapped sa isang silid ng dahil sa plano ng stepsister at kapatid para mapaalis siya, nagbunga ito ng isang anak na lalaki. After 5 years passed, ang pag-uwi nila sa Pilipinas ang magiging simula ng unti unting paglabas ng katotohanan at ang nalalapit na pagkikita ng dalawa from that night. Will she get the revenge she deserves? Or will she never find the truth about her son’s father?
view moreHIndi makakalimutan ni Trojack ang mga sinabi ni Rosa bago pa ito umalis ng opisina niya.Lumingon si Rosa, sinulyapan ang lalaking nakatayo habang nakapatong ang mga kamay sa mesa, at mahinahong pinaalalahanan, "She isn’t as kind as she looks," she said coldly, her voice carrying a hint of mockery. "You’d better be careful not to be tricked by her."His eyes narrowed, his expression unyielding. "Ironic. The one who hit someone today was you," makitid ang mga matang sabi ni Trojack.Gusto talaga ni Rosa na hindi lang saktan kundi tuluyang tapusin si Sheena, pero tamad na siyang magpaliwanag pa. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes. No one will ever believe her tulad ng nakaraan, mismong ama niya pa nga ang mas pinili siyang palayasin sa kanila, and no one was there by her side.Kung ang lalaking ito ay napakabulag para gawing sentro ng buhay niya si Sheena, ano pa nga bang masasabi niya?Not only did I want to hit her—I wanted to throttle her.Nang makabalik si Rosa sa opisina nang
"Be good and listen," Trojack said softly, stroking Sheena’s head.Hindi niya makakalimutan ang mga sinabi ni Trojack sa kaniya habang naglalakad palabas ng company.Her heart leaped at his gentle gesture. In that moment, she felt as though she had captured all the affection he had to offer. The warmth in his voice and the protective touch made her feel comforted, validated, and undeniably triumphant habang si kay Rosa, labis ang kanyang natatanggap. Ngunit sa sobrang takot niya na baka parusahan siya ng kanyang kasakiman, tumigil na siya sa paggagawa ng gulo.Could her greed lead to punishment? She suppressed the thought quickly, resolving to maintain her composure. No more provocations, at least for now. Wala naman siyang taglay na pambihirang kagandahan. Ang tanging paraan upang makuha niya ang pabor ni Trojack Yddro ay sa pamamagitan ng kanyang personalidad.That had always worked for her, and it would keep working. After all, Rosa would soon be out of the picture."She’ll be fi
"Get out! I don’t want to see you again!" Rosa’s voice was icy, her finger pointing resolutely toward the door. Sheena sneered, leaning lazily against the armrest of the sofa. "Ano? Hindi ba sapat ang lakas ng lalaki mo? Or are you disappointed in the... service?" Her mocking smile deepened. "Rosa, you’d better watch your tone with me. Otherwise, I’ll let the entire company know about your little secret. Tingnan natin kung paano ka mabubuhay sa trabahong ito." It only made her more angrier deep inside, wala siyang karapata para sirain na naman siya. She did it once, but never twice. She was the reason why her life sucked, and kung paano niya kinaya ang trauma ng magisa. Her expression didn’t waver, but her hand moved instinctively to the phone. Mariing pinindot ni Rosa ang telepono sa opisina at tinawagan si Vrest. Pressing the internal line, she spoke in a calm but firm tone. "Vrest, come to my office." Agad na dumating si Vrest, pawisan at nagmamadali. Itinuro ni Rosa si Sheena
Three days later, it was five in the morning.Nanaginip bigla si Sheena. "Ah...no!" Sheena sat up in fear, sweating profusely. When she looked at everything around her, she realized that it was a nightmare.Rosa’s face turned pale, but she quickly regained control, her eyes narrowing with contempt as she stared at Sheena. The memories of that night, though fuzzy, still haunted her. She hadn’t recognized the man at the time, but she was sure it wasn’t someone of importance."You're wasting your time," Rosa responded coldly, her voice steady despite the turmoil brewing inside."I don't care about the past, and I certainly don't care sa kung ano ang ginagawa mo ngayon.”Sheena leaned against the back of the chair, her lips curling into a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Oh, really? You don't care? Yet here you are, trembling." She took a step closer, her eyes scanning Rosa’s face, trying to gauge her reaction."You think I’m scared of you?" Rosa snapped, her posture straightening. "You
The ambiance of the café was calm and elegant, contrasting sharply with the tension Andrea brought as she stormed in. Sheena dressed modestly yet with subtle elegance, sat waiting at a table in the corner. Her fingers tapped the side of her coffee cup as Andrea slid into the seat across from her.“You’ve been so elusive lately,” Andrea started, narrowing her eyes. “Nagpunta ka raw ng trip. Saan ka nagpunta?” tanong nito, puno ng kuryosidad.Sheena’s grip tightened on her cup. “Just a quick getaway,” she said, her tone casual. “Naglibot lang ng dalawang araw para mag-relax,” mabilis na sagot ni Sheena, pilit na itinatago ang katotohanang namuhay siya nang marangya nitong mga nakaraang araw.“Your shop must be struggling for you to take time off,” Andrea probed, suspicion in her voice.“Hindi naman, pero wala ring masyadong customer, kaya nagpahinga na muna ako,” sagot ni Sheena nang walang bakas ng kaba while she smiled faintly..Andrea leaned in, lowering her voice. “You won’t believe
Alam ni Jon na hindi maganda ang naging relasyon nina Kieshna at Rosa noon pa. His expression darkened as he turned to glare at Kieshna and said, “Rosa and her son just got back. There’s no need for your sharp words. You’d better get along with them.”Her lips tightened, but before she could respond, a voice from the staircase broke the silence.“Mom, kaninong bata ito?” biglang singit ni Andrea mula sa hagdanan. Her curious tone echoed through the hall as she descended the stairs. Her gaze landed on the boy in her father’s arms, and her brows furrowed in confusion.“Kaninong bata? Anak ‘yan ng ate mo, ipinanganak niya sa ibang bansa,” sagot ni ina nito sa malamig na tono.Andrea’s eyes widened in shock. “What?” she blurted, hurrying down the stairs to confront Rosa. “You didn’t even tell us you had a child. Hindi ka ba nahihiya?”“Andrea!” His father’s voice snapped like a whip. “How can you speak that way? Brent is family, and I won’t allow you to disrespect him or your sister. Hind
Since Jon Melandez had given advance notice, Kieshna ordered the servants to prepare dinner. The table would be set lavishly, but not a single dish catered to Rosa's preferences. Instead, she focused entirely on her daughter's favorites, ensuring her point was made without words.The quiet hum in the kitchen was interrupted when one of the servants approached her hesitantly."Madam, sabi po ng amo, mahilig daw sa hipon ang panganay na dalaga. Bumili po ako ng hipon. Hindi niyo ba ipapaluto?" tanong ng kasambahay habang lumapit.Her eyes narrowed, her expression darkening. She waved a hand dismissively. "Oo, ipaluto mo! Cook it—but make it spicy enough to burn. Let that little brat choke on her arrogance,” sagot ni Kieshna nang may galit sa tinig.Agad namang sumunod ang kasambahay at umalis. Halos hindi maibsan ang sama ng loob ni Rosa; tila umaapaw ang init ng kanyang ulo. Sa mga nakaraang taon, yumaman nang husto si Jon, and the company was listed, their family assets soaring well p
The meeting concluded shortly after, but as everyone prepared to leave, Trojack said, “Miss Rosa Melandez, please stay.”Saktong iinom sana si Rosa para maibsan ang tuyong lalamunan, ngunit halos mabulunan siya nang marinig ito. Kaagad siyang napapalibutan ng mga inggit at selos na tingin, especially Penny’s sharp, resentful stare.After the others left, Rosa took a steadying breath, then turned to him. “Is there something I can help you with?”He cut to the point.”Bakit ka pumasok? I told you to stay at home, hindi mo kailangang pumasok.”“I can do everything without your permission. Plus, I do not need your help especially raising my son. I’ll talk to the hr about my sudden day off kahapon. Hindi mo ako kailangang bigyan ng mga special requests. I am just staying at your house because we needed to make sure na makulong muna yung—” she stopped talking dahil unti unti na naman niyang naalala yung nangyari kahapon, and the thing that happened in between them.Trojack’s tone softened.
Habang nagluluto, bigla na lang umalis si Trojack at nagpaalam kay Brent.He went to the kitchen and said, ‘Rosa, I’ll be out, baka bukas na ako makabalik. Eat and have some sleep. Pupuntahan ko lola ko sa ospital rin before work. I’ll text you for some updates about her, pero the doctor said she is fine.”“Thanks for letting me know, be safe.” Rosa replied while cutting some onions.Hindi na nagsayang ng oras si Trojack and umalis na agad, leaving both of them downstairs. Hanggang ngayon tulog pa rin ang kasambahay nila na si Gigi, sa sobrang pagod siguro ay hindi na ito nakakilos or nagising. Hinayan na na lang muna ni Rosa kaya hindi na niya ito ginising.Patapos na rin naman siya sa mga gamit nila.That night after they ate, she held him close as they fell asleep together under the gentle moonlight.The next morning, after dropping him off, she took a taxi to her company, AD Pavillion. Though the building was small compared to the nearby skyscrapers, the brand had gained respect l
“Rosa,” nanghihinang sambit ng nakikilala niyang boses, “Minolestiya ako rito sa club, please, puntahan mo ako rito sa 808,” humihikbing dagdag ni Sheena.Biglang nag-end ang call at walang alinlangang umalis si Rosa na galing sa kaniyang bahay, iniisip ang kapakanan ng kaibigan na si Sheena Cruz. Damang dama niya ang panginginig ng mga kamao niya lalo na nung narinig niya ang panginginig at panghihina sa boses mula sa phone call.Room 808.Rosa looked at the doorknob, then tumingin sa itaas na may nakalagay na room number 808. Nakakaramdam siya ng kaba, ngunit mas iniisip niya si Sheena, and entered the room without saying any word.As soon as she opened the door, wala siyang nakita kundi kadiliman. Bigla na lang may humablot sa kanyang kamay, and closed the door.“Bitiwan mo ako! S-sino ka?!” Sigaw ni Rosa na hindi napigilang manginig sa takot.Hindi niya makita ang katawan miski ang mukha ng taong may hawak sa kaniya, but she is sure enough na malaking lalaki at delikado ang nasa ha
