One Last Chance Chapter 22: Their First Night
ZARIYAH bit her lip as she kept on pacing back and forth in her room. Kulang pa yata ang isang glass ng wine na ininom niya para kumuha ng sapat na lakas ng loob para gawin ang binabalak. Maybe she really needed to get drunk. Humarap ulit siya sa salamin at pinagmasdan ang kanyang repleksyon. She’s already wearing the negligee she bought. Halos lumagpas lang sa suot niyang undies ang haba nun. “I doubt that Kylian still has time to meet that woman. He’s busy right now. Sa kanya ko ipinagkatiwala ang acquisition ng Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. He’s probably stressed right now. Samantalahin mo na yun. hija. As his wife, you already know what to do, right?” “Will this really work?” nag-aalala niyang tanong kay Daniel. Ngumiti ito sa kanya. “Why, of course it will. I’ve already done my part, hija. Now it’s up to you.” She let out a long sigh. Inayos niya muna ulit ang buhok at saka lumabas ng kwarto. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she made her way to the ot

INALOG-ALOG ng batang si Kylian ang balikat ng batang babae na nakasandal sa kanya. Namamasa pa ang gilid ng mga mata nito. “A-andyan na ba si tatay? Makakauwi na ba tayo?” Kylian opened his mouth to say something pero naudlot iyon ng biglang nabalot ang buong warehouse ng mga hiyawan ng mga lalaking dumukot sa kanila. The little girl beside her trembled in fear. Napalingon siya sa direksyon ng mga ito na abala sa pag-iinom at paglalaro ng cards. “Gusto ko ng umuwi. Gusto ko ng makita si tatay,” naluluha nitong sabi. And once again, sinubukan niya ulit makawala mula sa pagkakatali nila but failed. “Set us free!” hiyaw niya sa mga lalaki. Pero tila ba bingi ang mga ito at dinedma lang ang pagsisigaw niya. He closed his eyes. Gusto na niyang makauwi. Nasaan na ba kaya ang daddy niya? Hinahanap na ba siya nito ngayon? O baka naman ay mas abala pa rin ito sa trabaho nito? Iminulat niya ang mga mata at ang scenario sa paligid niya ay nagbago. There was c

SANDALING napahinto mula sa pagtitipa si Zariyah at napasandal sa kinauupuan. She checked the time on her computer. It’s already lunch time. Marahas siyang napabuga ng hangin at bumalik muli sa ginagawa. She wanted to finish the meeting minutes first before grabbing her lunch. “Hey! Hindi ka pa kakain?” Mula sa ginagawa sa computer ay nag-angat ng mukha si Zariyah. It was Nadia. Nakaangat ang kilay nito na nakatingin sa kanya. Bahagya siyang natawa. “Mauna ka na. Tapusin ko lang ito.” “Seryoso ka ba, Zariyah? Nakikita mo ba ang oras? It’s already our break. Tama na yan pagiging workaholic mo at kum

ZARIYAH bit her lower lip. Matiim ang tingin sa kanya ni Grey. She looked away, feeling uncomfortable under his steady gaze. “Ano na naman bang kalokohan ang pinagsasabi mo? Is this another trick again?” Grey leaned toward her and asked, “What tricks?” He pondered for a few moments then laughed softly. “I’m not playing any tricks on you. I am… intrigued by the sadness within your eyes. Could it be because of that man?” “Whether it is because of that man or not, it has nothing to do with you,” she answered icily. Tinalikuran niya ito at muling naglakad. She took a deep breath. Her chest

GREY’S gaze fell sternly on Zariyah’s face. “Is there something you’re hiding?” Her lip began to tremble. Napalunok siya. “No. I’m not hiding anything,” she answered. Hopefully her voice sounded more composed than she felt. Grey studied her face with mocking eyes, and his mouth twisted into a humorless smile. “Nothing, huh?” he mumbled. Ibinalik ulit nito ang tingin sa tv. Hindi na ang asawa niya at si Lexie ang nasa tv screen. Tapos ng ibalita ang tungkol sa dalawa. “I thought

“I SAW that from the news last night. I was actually shocked. Akala ko namamalikmata lang ako. I even had to search for it on the internet.” Zariyah gazed up at her wide-eyed. She was too shocked to speak. She rarely watched the news kaya wala siyang ideya. Ngayon ay naiintindihan na niya kung bakit ganun na lang ang tingin ng mga katrabaho niya sa kanya kanina. “Is it true? Are you really married to Kylian Fontanilla?” Hindi siya sumagot. Rather, she didn’t know what response she’d give. Pero hindi ba’t ito naman ang gusto niya? Ang malaman ng lahat ang tungkol sa kanila ni Kylian.

A LIGHT knock on the door made Kylian stop from reading for a moment. Napakunot-noo siya nang si Dylan ang pumasok sa loob ng office. “What’s up?” Kylian shook his head in dismay. “You sure have a lot of freedom,” he commented. Dylan plopped down on the sofa. A frown quickly wipe away his smile. “Bakit naman ganyan ang mukha mo? Parang hindi mo yata ako gustong makita.” Muli niyang ibinalik ang atensyon sa binabasa na article sa laptop. “What brings you here?” tanong niya na hindi man lang ito tinitingnan. “Wanna chill out?” “Maybe next time.” Napabuga ito ng hangin. “Come on, Kylian. I think you need to relax for a bit especially with what’s going on right now. Nabasa mo na ba ang ilang mga komento ng mga tao sa’yo?” He rubbed his face with a heavy sigh and leaned back in the swivel chair. “I know,” he muttered. In fact, iyon nga ang kasalukuyang binabasa niya ngayon sa laptop niya. Sa kanilang tatlo, siya

DAHAN-DAHAN na iminulat ng batang si Zariyah ang mga mata niya at ang kulay puting ceiling ang unang bumungad sa kanya. Napangiwi siya ng maramdaman kumikirot ang bandang noo niya. She couldn’t move her body at maski ang likuran niya ay kumikirot rin.Napalingon siya sa gilid nang marinig ang boses ng kanyang ama. Kasalukuyan itong nakikipag-usap sa kaibigan nito, who was also her friend’s dad.“I think it’s better this way,” narinig niyang sabi ng ama ng kaibigan.Hindi maintindihan ni Zariyah ang pinag-uusapan ng dalawang matatanda but none of those matters to her. Gusto niyang malaman kung nasaan na ang kaibigan niya at kung kamusta na ito. Sa sobrang pag-aalala ay kahit ang kasalukuyan sitwasyon niya ay nakalimutan na niya.&nb

NAPANGIWI si Zariyah habang tinitingnan ang mga lingerie na naka-display sa loob ng underwear store na pinasukan nila ni Nadia. Napalingon siya kay Nadia na abala sa pagtingin ng mga undergarments. “Did you just bring me here to accompany you sa pagbili mo ng undergarments?” she asked in disbelief. Ibinaba ni Nadia ang hawak na lingerie at tumingin sa kanya. “Why, of course no,” natatawa nitong sabi. Dinampot nito ang isang lace garter lingerie at inabot sa kanya. “We are here to buy you some lingerie. So what do you think of this?” She shook her head. “No. I… I don’t think this would suit me.” “Oh, is it too much for you?” Kinuha nito ang lingerie sa kamay niya at ibinalik ulit sa clothes rack. “Do we really have to buy lingerie?” Nagpatuloy sa pag-iikot sa loob ng store si Nadia habang siya ay nakasunod lang dito. “Huwag mong sabihin ay nagsusuot ka rin ng ganito?” Nadia shrugged her shoulders and glanced at her. “Why not? Wearing one makes me fee

“EARTH to Zariyah! You still there?” Ang tinig ni Nadia ang nagpabalik kay Zariyah sa kasalukuyan. She glanced up at her frowning face. “Oh, sorry. May sinasabi ka ba?” Ngumuso ito. “Kanina pa ako nagsasalita dito pero di ka naman nakikinig. Para lang ako nakikipag-usap sa hangin.” Napakamot siya ng ulo. “Pasensya na. May iniisip lang,” paliwanag niya. Nadia leaned forward, her face filled with curiosity. “May problema ba? Care to share?” She bit her lip. Pinaglaruan niya ang pagkain sa plato gamit ang tinidor na hawak. “Nadia, alam mo ba kung… kung paano mang-akit?” tanong niya na halos pabulong. “Anong sabi mo? Paano mang-ano? Lakasan mo naman boses mo,” reklamo nito. She cleared her throat, her cheeks burning red. “Ang sabi ko alam mo ba kung paano mang-akit?” pag-ulit niya. Sa pagkakataon ito ay nilakasan niya ang boses sapat para marinig nito ang sinabi niya. Mabuti na lang at walang naki-share ng table sa kanila ni Nadia. “Oh, wow,” anas nit
