Chapter 2: Disappointment
Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Lumabas saglit ng kwarto si Rosa ng bigla siyang harangin ni Andrea.
“Look who's here. The whore,” nakapamaywang pang sambit nito habang tinitignan siya mula ulo hanggang paa, “umalis ka na rito at huwag na huwag kang magpapakita sa pamilya na ito. You are already disgusting more than what you think!” Mahigpit na kinuyom ni Rosa ang kanyang mga kamao at tinignan ng may galit ang mapangasar na mukha ni Andrea. She wanted to kill her right now and just end hers right after. “You want to hit me? Come on!” Andrea rolled her eyes and muttered, “let's see how strong a whore can be, dali!” Hindi na nakapagpigil si Rosa and her right hand just in the air, and slapped her left cheek. Sa sobrang lakas nito ay umalingawngaw ang tunog at napaluha sa sakit ang kanyang kapatid. “Aray! Did you just hit me?!” She shouted with tears forming in her eyes and hurriedly went downstairs. Saktong nandoon ang mom and dad nila at narinig ang malakas na pagkakasampal. As soon as they saw the red cheek kay Andrea, they knew who slapped her that hard. “Mom, dad, she just slapped me! I was just walking papunta sa room ko when suddenly she stopped in front of me then slapped me!” Wala pa ring tigil ang pambabaliktad ng kapatid niya basta huwag lang siyang madamay kahit siya ang pasimuno. Niyakap naman ni Kieshna ang anak niya at hinaplos ang buhok nito, samantalang ang ama nila ay dahan dahang umakyat papunta sa direksyon ni Rosa. Bigla itong tumigil sa harapan ni Rosa at huminga ng malalim. Kitang-kita rito ang nandidilim niyang paningin at inis sa ginawa nito sa isa pa niyang anak. Alam na niya kung ano ang sasabihin ng ama. “Get out of here and forget that you ever had a family,” nagtitimping saad ng ama sabay umalis sa harapan nito. Kumirot na lamang ang puso ni Rosa dahil alam niyang ito na ang desisyon ng kanyang ama. Hindi man siya sinaktan uli ng pisikal ngunit ramdam niyang ayaw na talaga siyang makita nito. Walang ibang nagawa si Rosa kundi mag-impake ng mga gamit niya pati na rin ang mga regalong inihanda niya ng ilang araw. She took her passport with her things and all the gifts then brought it all downstairs. Seeing her father sa sala nila kasama ang kapatid na si Andrea na kaniyang nilalambing, nakaramdam siya ng lungkot at inggit. Hindi man lang tinanong ng kanyang ama ang nangyari sa kanya and ever since dumating sila ng stepmother niya sa buhay nila, naging outsider na siya ng pamilya. Kung hindi lang siguro namatay ang kanyang nanay, siguro hanggang ngayon nararamdaman pa rin yan parti siya ng pamilya at wala ang dalawang sumingit na lang sa buhay nila. See just felt more sadder sa kaniyang ina na hanggang sa pagkamatay nito ay hindi alam na niloloko lang siya ng asawa. This was the time Rosa made her decision, and that was never going back here or contact any of them. Habang naglalakad palabas ng malaking pinto ang kapatid at dala dala ang mga regalo at gamit nito, patagong pinapanood at nakangisi si Andrea. “I have been waiting for this to happen, Rosa. And all I need to do was for you to disappear.” Five years later… Tok tok tok* Someone was knocking on her door habang abala ang babae sa pagdidisenyo. Hindi tumigil ang pagkatok sa kanyang pintuan kaya wala siyang ibang nagawa kundi tumayo habang nananakit ang ulo. As she opened the door with this satisfaction, she looked at the two asian men in suits na nasa harapan niya. “Who exactly are you looking for?” She asked. “Excuse me, are you Miss Rosa Melandez?” Seryosong tanong ng isang lalaki. “Yes, this is she. Who are you and why are you here?” Nakatinginan ang dalawang lalaki sabay tumingin ulit sa kanya, “Well, we are entrusted to find you, Miss Rosa. Your late mother, Miss Rosette Melandez was the saviour of our boss.” Napatigil sa gulat si Rosa and napahinga ng malalim, “who are you referring to? Sino ang boss ninyo?” “Madame X. That is her name,” sagot ng isa. Bigla niyang naalala ang pangalan na ito. She was known for her powerful position and richest person sa buong bansa. The only name people know was Madame X. No one knew up until to this day who she really was. She knew about this dahil naikwento ng kanyang ina na nagbuwis siya ng buhay para iligtas ang first grandson nito. Ngunit kinabahan siya na baka iba ang pakay ng mga ito lalo na’t Madame X was also known for violence. Ang ina ni Rosa ay isa sa kilalang dakilang pulis at ipinagmamalaki niya ang anak niyang si Rosa. In every interview, lagi niyang binabanggit ang anak bilang isa sa mga nagbibigay sa kanya ng inspirasyon at maprotektahan ito sa kapahamakan. “Sorry, but can you please relay my message that I do not have any plans on meeting with them.” Alam niyang gustong bayaran ni Madame X ang favor ngunit wala siyang balak natanggapin ni isa nito. “Mommy, who is that?” Her child showed out of the blue and asked cheerfully. Mabilis na sumagot si Rosa, “wala ito, it's okay,” humarap siya muli sa dalawang lalaki, “I am really sorry but I am not accepting guests.” Pagkatapos ay isinara mabilis ang pinto. +++ In a luxurious village halfway sa taas ng bundok, isang ginang ang nakaupo sa tabi ng bintana. “Ano, may balita na ba?” Tanong ng ginang habang nakatingin sa mga bulaklak sa may bintana. “Yes, Madame X. Yung babaeng hinahanap po ninyo from five years ago ay bumisita sa isang secondhand shop.” “Already found her,” the man on the sofa exclaimed as he just typed a few keys sa keyboard.Kaugnay na kabanata
OH NO! MY SON'S FATHER IS A RICH MAN I MUST MARRY Chapter 3: Trojack
The room was dimlit, ngunit kitang kita mo ang mukha ng isang lalaki na halos wala kang makitang mali, para bang siya lang ang paborito ng Diyos. His handmade black fitted shirt ang nagiging rason para mas makita ang hulma ng napakaganda niyang katawan. His eyes were just staring at the corner, and anything that he does, even if wala siyang ginagawa, napakapogi pa rin nitong tignan. Biglang narinig niya ang papalapit na yapak papunta sa kwarto niya and a sweet voice from his grandmother ang umalingawngaw sa isip niya. “Just marry Rosa, my dear. I will never accept anyone but her as my granddaughter-in-law. You know me, Trojack. I don't usually likw people especially those who will be part of us.” But, at this point, isang tao lang ang pumapalibot sa isipan ni Trojack, the first and only woman he was possessed while in the dark. Simula ng nangyari ang gabing iyon, hindi na siya nawala sa isipan nito kahit ilang taon na ang nakakalipas. She was the only person who made him crazy de

“Yes! Kung saan pupunta ang mommy ko, I will always follow!” Masayang sigaw ng batang si Brent habang walang tigil sa pagtatalon sa saya. Tuwang tuwa rin namang pinapanood ni Rosa ang anak habang paikot ikot ito habang lumulundag sa harapan niya. All she felt everytime she sees her son was pure happiness and kahit anong problema ang sumusubok sa kaniya, nawawala ito kahit papaano. Ever since he was born almost 4 years ago, he was her main source of motivation and hope. Sobrang cute pa ng batang ito at napakabait, everyone who would meet him would end up loving more because of his personality. People would tell her na tama ang pagpapalaki nito sa kaniya, but deep inside ang nararamdaman niya ay kulang pa rin ang efforts niya lalo na’t walang kinagisnang ibang kadugo o mismong tatay si Brent. It still surprises her that he hasn’t ask about his father, but she knows that it will come any day now. It could be some time that she would least expect it, that’s why nakahanda na siyang sa

They both watched the women and his kid entered the taxi, and drove off the airport. Bigla uli nagring ang cellphone ni Trojack, and as he looked at it, it was amessage from an unknown number. From: Unknown Hi, this is Sheena. Can I call? Before he could even reply sa text na ito, the same number called and he had no choice but to answer it. “Hey, this is Sheena,” she paused, “well, I was wondering if you are busy?” “Why?” Malamig na sagot ni Trojack. “I have two tickets sa cinema for tomorrow, baka gusto mo maging plus one ko.” He paused and he felt something was off, “Yeah, I guess. Sure. Let me know where and what time we will meet.” And he just ended the call like that. He already felt something was really wrong as soon as he saw tha woman with her kid. It wasn’t the feeling he expected to feel ng makita niya si Sheena sa shop, it was odd. Napakagulo ng nararamdaman niya. “I think I need to do more investigation on this.” He whispered. +++ Madame X was on the sofa, drin

Bago umalis ng bahay si Rosa, niyakap niya ang anak. “You will be back by 6pm, right mommy?” Masayang tanong ni Brent na halos hindi kumawala sa mga bisig ng ina.“Of course, now, be a good boy kay ate Gigi ha,” ngiting sambit ni Rosa habang hinahaplos ang malambot na buhok ni Brent.Tumango bilang sagot si Brent at tumakbo papunta sa kasambahay nila na si Gigi. Halos apat na taon ng kasambahay ni Rosa na halos naging katuwang niya sa bahay. Mabait na tao at halos lahat ng mga kailangang tapusin sa bahay ay natatapos na agad ni Gigi bago pa siya makauwi. Kahit di niya ibinilin, ginagawa na lang niya.Hindi pa rin mawala sa isipan ni Rosa ang nangyari 5 years ago. Hindi niya pa rin matanggap kung ano nga ba ang ginawa niya para gawin iyon sa kaniya. She just can't even determine whether it was a nightmare or blessing simula nung dumating ang anak niya.It still made her feel uneasy lalo na nung pinalayas siya ng sarili niyang ama na hindi man lang pinakinggan ang side niya.

“Is there something wrong ba?”“Nothing mommy, it's just,” napatigil saglit ang bata at sumimangot pa lalo, “magiging busy ka rin po sa work tapos ako sa school.”“Anak, I know na nagaalala ka lang sa akin, but I will always support you sa mga gagawin mo. Tatapusin ko agad work ko para makauwi agad ako and play games with you, okay? Promise ‘yan ni mommy.”Napansin niyang ngumiti na uli ang anak at hinawakan siya sa braso.“Promise iyan mommy ah, you just made a promise!” “Everything for you anak, okay, nandito na tayo,” tinigil na ni Rosa ang makina ng sasakyan at kinuha ang bag ng anak mula sa tabi, “take a few deep breaths, and don't worry, people there are good people.”Huminga ng malalim si Brent and looked at her, kitang nabawasan bigla ang kaba sa mga mata ng anak dahil kitang kita nito ang takot kanina simula nung umalis sa kanila.“Si ate Gigi mo ang maghahatid sa iyo ha. Don't ever go with strangers. Baka may mangyari sa iyo.”“Yes po, tara na po, excited na po ako!” Masaya

“To be honest, I think you wanted to clarify something sa akin before I start my work. I know this seems to be kind of rude, but can we just go straight to the point, Mr. Trojack?” She said while her grip strengthen sa briefcase na bitbit niya.“Did you even know na hindi ako ang may ari talaga nitong company na pagttrabahuan mo? Or you just want to play hard to get?” “Wait, what do you mean?” Sa punto na ito, dito lang napansin na parang alam na niya kung sino ang nasa harapan. Ang apo ni Madame X.“Let's have dinner with my grandmother later, 7pm. Don't be late and don't refuse, I’ll pick you up sa inyo. You can bring your kid. That's all, you can go,” saad nito saka tumalikod and ignored Rosa.Umalis na lang ng office si Rosa, and mukhang hindi na siya makakatanggi pa. Kailangan niya na talagang harapin ng mismo si Madame X para matigil na yung binabanggit nitong repayment na nagawa ng mama niya few years back.She doesn't owe anyone and she doesn't need anyone's help either.

OH NO! MY SON'S FATHER IS A RICH MAN I MUST MARRY Chapter 9: At The Restaurant
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Simpleng tanong ni Rosa habang nakasandal sa pader.“I guess,” huminto saglit si Trojack at huminga ng malalim, “alam kong nagaalangan kang pumunta mamaya sa dinner pero sana pagisipan mo ng mabuti. My grandmother really wants to meet you and your son.”“What if it’s my choice not to go?”“This is a request, a favor. Just come to the dinner and I ensure your safety till you get home. Hindi naman nangangagat ang lola ko.” Huminga ng malalim si Rosa at tumingin sa mga mata nito.She felt he really wants her to come lalo na ang lola nito. Although she feels guilty agad sa idea palang na pumunta roon at magpakita, feeling niya kasi gagamitin niya lang yung tulong na ibibigay.“It just that,” she frowned, “I am not the type of person na may mahilig sa mga binibigay ng ibang tao lalo na utang na loob. I am very thankful for the thought ng lola mo, pero I feel like it is not right.” Kumuha ng barya sa left pocket si Trojack and inserted a few coins s

“Well,” Rosa paused, “she suddenly made a scene here saying na siya ang nauna sa upuan na dito. She suddenly started screaming at me that's why I fought back. That's where he suddenly showed up and told her na suspended siya for a week. Pinapapunta nga sa hr e.” Biglang tumawa ng mahina ang dalawa habang magkatingin.“Nako, ganyan talaga iyong si Penny. Everyone hates her actually, siya nga ang reason bakit natanggal yung dating designer head. She made this rumor about her being,” biglang tumigin kaliwa’t kanan si Flara at nilapit ang mukha sa tenga ni Rosa, “kabit ng isa pang empleyado. Ayon, nasisante agad. Kawawa nga iyon, may anak rin na pinapalaki.”“What was her reason?”“Sabi nila, she hates those who are talking back at her. Same kayo halos ng personality nung natanggal, i think they fought something about sa work and tinatama lang naman siya. They said na she took it personally, and knowing daw na mahinhin na tao ‘yon, probably pangit talaga ugali ni Penny.” Saad nito.“Pangi

She raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised by the question. She turned to face him, her posture relaxed but with a hint of wariness. "Do you know Shan?" tanong niya, may halong pagkamausisa ngunit sinadyang ipinapakita ang hindi gaanong interes."I know him," he replied, his tone indifferent. He looked out over the balcony, though his eyes never strayed far from her.Hindi alam ni Rosa kung ano ang pakialam ni Trojack kay Shan, ngunit hindi niya balak na magpaliwanag. "And?" she asked with an edge of annoyance, taking a casual sip of her wine. "Why should I tell you?"Before he could respond, Rosa turned to walk away, clearly signaling she had no interest in continuing the conversation. Wala siyang dahilan para makialam, lalo na't si Trojack ay kasintahan ni Sheena. But He wasn’t done. He moved swiftly, cutting off her path, his dark eyes fixed on her with an intensity that made her pause."Hindi mo sinagot ang tanong ko," sabi niya, his voice unwavering. "What is your relationship wi

“Love, I want that one,” Sheena cooed, tugging playfully at his arm. Her manicured finger pointed to a dessert that was slightly out of reach, her tone laced with the sweetness of a spoiled child.Inabot ito ni Trojack gamit ang kanyang mahaba at matipunong braso at inilapit sa kanya. Sheena’s face lit up with delight as she immediately took a bite, savoring the dessert with exaggerated enthusiasm. Agad itong kinain ni Sheena nang may kasiyahan, at hindi nakalimutang bigyan si Rosa ng isang mapanuyang sulyap.Rosa barely concealed her disdain, her eyes subtly rolling.Hindi niya maintindihan kung paano nakuha ni Sheena ang atensyon ni Trojack, lalo na’t tila binibigyan nito ng importansya ang lahat ng gusto ng babae, treating her as though she were the most precious thing in the world.Unable to sit through more of their display, Rosa stood up. “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom,” she said, her tone polite yet firm.Sa ilalim ng liwanag ng kandila, nagniningning ang kanyang evenin

The top jewelry exhibition was held in an exclusive private exhibition hall, renowned for its impeccable security and opulence. The surrounding streets were cordoned off, with security guards stationed strategically and patrolling the area to ensure the utmost safety of the elite guests. Lalo pang pinaigting ang inspeksyon sa mga bisita.Rosa clutched her pearl handbag as she passed through the security checkpoint. The meticulous inspection left her slightly on edge, but when she was finally cleared, she breathed a quiet sigh of relief. Isang concierge ang nagbigay sa kanya ng marangal na pagtanggap at maingat siyang inihatid papasok sa exhibition hall.Pagpasok niya, tumambad ang napakagarang bulwagan na puno ng mga hilera ng glass display cabinets, each destined to hold some of the world’s most exquisite jewelry. The event had not yet officially begun, and the guests were invited to a high-end buffet in the adjoining restaurant.Inayos ang kanilang mga upuan, at ang upuan ni Rosa ay

Sheena picked up her phone and dialed Trojack's number. She fidgeted slightly, a mix of excitement and anticipation lighting up her expression.“Hello?” His deep, steady voice came through. “Is it still painful?”A flicker of annoyance crossed her face, but she quickly masked it with a sweet tone.“Trojack, my love, gusto kong pumunta sa isang jewelry exhibition. Pwede mo ba akong samahan doon?” malambing at nagmamakaawang tanong nito.There was a pause on the other end. “What jewelry exhibition?”“Ipapadala ko sa'yo ang video,” sagot ni Sheena, mabilis na binaba ang tawag, saka ipinadala ang video. Not long after, her phone buzzed with a concise response.From Trojack:“Okay, I’ll take you there.”Her lips curved into a wide smile, but the movement tugged at her swollen face. A sharp pain shot through her, and she hissed in discomfort.Napahiyaw siya ng bahagya sa sakit at agad na napamura, “Rosa, bruha ka talaga! Aren’t you supposed to be some big-shot jewelry designer? Yet you can’

HIndi 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
