2022-04-18 14:31:30Hindi nakatulog si Hannah. Kaya kinabukasan, dinaig pa niya ang puyat na panda sa kaitiman ng palibot ng mga mata niya.
Paano, bukod sa hindi na nga siya nakatulog, sinabayan pa niya ng iyak."Hannah, napa'no ka?" Syempre napansin ng co-worker niyang si Mia ang itsura niya."Puyat," simple niyang tugon."Oh siya. Puyat na kung puyat. Kanina ka pa hinihintay ni boss.""'Andyan na siya?" Sinipat niya ng tingin ang suot na wristwatch. Maaga pa siya ng thirty minutes."Oo. Ang aga nga eh. Pinapahanda niya ang conference room. Meeting daw tayo lahat.""Talaga?" Bihirang mangyari na iipunin silang lahat para kausapin. Kaya sigurado si Hannah na importante ang meeting na iyon.She proceeded to her boss' office. Tatlong marahan at kalkuladong katok ang ginawa niya bago niya narinig ang boses nito na nagbibigay ng permisong pumasok siya.Nadatnan niya ang boss na seryosong nakatanaw sa glasswall ng opis

"He's at the hotel." "What?!" bulalas ni Hannah. "Kakagaling ko lang doon, Paul and his assistant said na wala siya." Kausap niya sa phone si Paul. Syempre hindi naman siya didiretso sa bahay ni Nate. For all she knew, baka banned siyang pumasok ng subdivision. "Baka sa kabila." "Saang kabila?" Frustrated niyang tanong. "Andaming NS Hotel. Which one? Please, I only have a couple of hours left and then my landlord will throw all my belongings if I am not back to get them." "Hannah, I'm sorry. I don't know. I'm going to fetch Elisha now." "Can you help me figure out?" she begged. "Please, I've nowhere to go. I need him to tell my landlord to give me more time." "You have his number, Hannah. Why don't you call him?" "I- I don't have it." Binura niya iyon para hindi siya matukso noon na tawagan ito. "I deleted his number," amin niya. "Geez, Hannah, you're so complicated. I'll forward it to you. Cal

"Nate," Hannah didn't know where she got her courage kaya nakatayo siya ngayon sa harapan nang malamig ang tingin na si Nate. It was barely twenty minutes after that mind boggling kiss and yet it was as if she was with a totally different version of Nate Sarmiento. Making her wonder if the kiss really happened or not. Wala siya sa suite ng NS kanina but in the very penthouse where the GM holds office. Ang ginawa lang niya ay lumabas ng silid tapos pumunta sa opisina nito kahit walang permiso. "I- I don't know what you're up to, but I just want to beg you- na 'wag ng idamay ang mga kasamahan ko sa trabaho. I- I'll leave the company if that's what you want... Wala na rin ako sa apartment, I'm sure na-report na sa 'yo ng mga tao mo–" she paused dahil nakita niyang naningkit ang mga mata nito. "It's alright. I understand. I already found a place to stay- ahm so you can have your apartment." "What are you talking about?" he asked. "The ap

"Ms. Rodriguez, in my office now. Bring my coffee," Nate said via intercom. Tinanguan siya ni Sarah and Hannah obeyed as she was told. Since their workstation was one floor down from the GM's, hindi nila nakikita ang pagdating nito as he was using the elevator directly to his floor. Nate would usually announce his arrival by asking for his coffee. Umakyat si Hannah sa penthouse dala ang kape nito gamit ang hagdan na nag-uugnay sa dalawang palapag. Sliding the keycard, Hannah realized her hands were shaking and keeping the coffee still was a struggle. Nininerbiyos siyang makaharap ulit si Nate. It took her a lot of effort to make herself appear relaxed when she knocked on the smoked glass door of his office. "Come in," he said and Hannah wanted to slap her face for shaking even more at the mere sound of his voice. "G-good morning, Sir," she greeted when he came into view. And she almost gasped. Ang gwapo ni Nate k

"The GM is too early today. He's looking for you. Bakit wala ka pa raw, eh d'yan ka lang sa baba nakatira," natatawang salubong ni Sarah kay Hannah kinabukasan. "He's here already?" Hindi siya makapaniwala gayong isang oras pa siyang mas maaga sa official time niya. "Yup. At mukhang bad mood. What did you do to him yesterday huh? Hindi na kayo bumalik pareho." "We went to your sister's house," she told her. "I know. Naikwento na sa akin ni ate. Geez, that boy. I don't know why he's not declaring his love to you yet. Such a torpe. Tsk!" "Sarah, maybe there's really nothing to confess," she proceeded to make Nate's coffee habang nakasunod pa rin ang kausap sa likod niya. "Besides, I'm not his type." "And what do you know about his type?" "Come on, the likes of Olive of course. Matangkad, maputi, sexy, maganda at–" "Manloloko?" Putol nitong iniikot ang mga mata. "They love each other." "

Body Heat. Hannah couldn't believe she was considering it. Nate had eaten, nakainom na rin ng gamot and back to his sleep. Pero nagising ito at nagchi-chill nang sobra. Pinatay na ng dalaga ang aircon. Dinagdagan na rin niya ang kumot nito. Sinuotan na rin niya ng medyas. But none of them seemed to work. At ang tabihan ito at yakapin nalang ang huling paraan na naiisip niya. She would often do it with Elisha before. But that was Elisha, anak niya. Not the grown up super duper attractive man she's in love with. Una, humiga siya sa tabi nito pero hindi siya umilalim sa kumot. For a while it worked bago mas lalo lang itong nagchill. So okay, she decided to give him body heat. She slowly slid herself in his blanket at niyakap ito. Inisip na lang niya 'yong pagkakataon noon na pinatulog siya nito sa mga bisig nito when she was mourning for the loss of her father. Nate didn't leave her then and even made a way to bring back the smile on her face by

Hannah woke up a little bit heavy headed the next morning. She seemed like she caught Nate's colds. At siguro dahil din for the past day ay iyak lang siya nang iyak. She was contemplating on the things that she lost because of her stupid decisions. She shouldn't have left without talking to Nate first. Dahil sa ginawa niya, she left him an impression that she never really cared for him and Elisha. At sa lahat naman ng maibabatong akusasyon sa kanya, 'yon ang pinakamasakit. Because it was never an easy decision to leave them. She died every day for three months. And they didn't have any idea how hard it was to keep moving on when the very reason she's still alive was no longer in her life. Pinilit ni Hannah na bumangon. Mag-aaga siya ngayon. Kailangan niyang maunahan si Nate. First step, be the ideal employee to Nate Sarmiento. Thirty minutes later, nasa workstation na niya siya. Pati si Sarah wala pa. Nilinis niya ang area

Kahit masama na ang pakiramdam at hindi naman hinihingi ni Nate ang presensya niya, Hannah didn't want to leave him. But during times when Olive and Elisha were in the wake, she had to leave. That she almost forgot. Olive. There's still Olive in Nate's life. Ito pa rin ang babae sa tabi ng binata at times like this one. "Hannah," si Adam iyon na nakita siyang nakasilip kina Nate, Olive at Elisha na kasalukuyang umiistima ng mga nakikiramay. Most were just business partners since Nate maintained his family matters private. Dumating sina Olive at Elisha kanina habang 'andoon pa siya. Pwede na siyang umalis pero hindi niya matiis ang pagkakataon na makita si Elisha kahit hindi niya ito pwedeng lapitan. "Hey," mahina at matamlay niyang bati. "Bakit 'andito ka? Magpakita ka kay Elisha," he urged. "I- i'm not sure kung magugustuhan ni Nate kung basta na lang ako magpapakita kay Eli." "He have been waiting for

"What was that, Nate?" She asked Nate who closed the room's door behind him. Elisha was now out of earshot as Adam took her with him after much convincing that her mommy wasn't going anywhere. "Can't you stay for Eli?" he asked back. Lumapit ito sa kinauupuan niya at ipinaghila ang sarili nito ng upuan sa tapat niya. Then he started to gently press a cold compress on her swollen cheek. "You know that I'd do anything for Elisha," mabilis ang tibok ng puso at naiilang sa proximity ni Nate na sagot niya, mas nararamdaman pa nga niya ang kamay nito kaysa sa yelo na idinadampi-dampi nito sa pisngi niya. "Pero ikaw? Is it okay with you?" "What do you think, Hannah?" Inihinto nito ang ginagawa para salubungin ang mga mata niya. "I- I can't really tell," amin niya. He sighed before pulling away. "Please do this for Elisha. I want her to be happy," pakiusap nito. "It's not like I can say no. I'm still working for

"Eli," marahang nilapitan ni Nate ang anak na nakatulala habang naka-indian sit sa gitna ng kama nito. "Time to see your doctor, anak."Pakiramdam niya kinurot ang puso niya when Eli didn't even look at him. His little girl was drowned into her thoughts again."Elisha, Dr. Railey is already waiting for you." Tinabihan niya ang bata at kinabig ito para halikan sa ulo."I don't need a doctor, daddy," mahinang usal ng bata. "I'm not sick.""He will just talk to you, anak." Dr. Railey was Eli's psychiatrist. For a week now, nakakailang session na si Elisha and yet parang wala pa ring improvement. Madalas pa rin itong tulala at bigla na lang umiiyak at sumisigaw. "Hey, do you like to visit mommy?"Upon hearing the word mommy, Elisha nodded almost eagerly. Gano'n naman lagi. Kapag nahihirapan siyang kausapin ito, Hannah would always do the trick. Kapag nababanggit ito sa bata, Elisha would start responding like her normal self."Yes daddy! I miss mommy so much!""

"Olive," Hannah tried to calm Olive down. "Let's talk. Not like this. Please, natatakot na si Eli…" "No... We will talk like this. Eli has to know what a slut you are, Hannah!" Gigil na itinutok nito sa tagiliran ni Elisha ang kutsilyo habang pigil nito ang bata sa buhok nito. "How you ruined our family!" Eli wasn't complaining kahit nakadungaw na sa mga mata nito ang pinipigilan nitong mga luha. She was a brave kid! Hindi niya alam kung dapat ba niyang ikatuwa iyon na tahimik lang ito o hindi. "Don't hurt her, I beg you." Siya pa ang naunang maiyak kaysa sa bata. "She's your daughter, Liv! Your own flesh and blood!" She couldn't contain seeing Eli so scared like that but she couldn't do anything. One wrong move and Olive could hurt Eli. "I know... " bahagya nitong inilayo ang kutsilyo "I'm not going to hurt Eli. I need her so Nate would come back to me. But– " bitin nitong itinabi sa leeg ni Eli ang hawak nito. "If you're not going to coopera

Dumiretso na sila sa bahay. Nate held a meeting with the whole security team of his house. Kung bakit, hindi niya alam. After an hour, nagpaalam ito na makikipag-conference meeting sa mga staff nito via video call. She told him okay at nagpasyang mag-bake na lang ng chocolate chip cookies para sa asawa niya't anak. They were like crazy with the cookie. Mag-ama nga ang mga ito. Hannah smiled to herself. Hindi mapipigilan ng problemang dumating ang kasiyahan niya sa bagong estado niya sa buhay. Nate loves her at kahit hindi sila makapag-honeymoon ngayon, okay lang. She knew Nate, babawi ito. That's for sure. She was preparing the ingredients when her phone rang. It was Olive. "Hannah," bungad nito nang sagutin niya ang tawag. "Hello Liv," alanganin niyang bati. "Eli's with me. I'm wondering if you can come and get her? I have an appointment in two hours. I cannot drive her back. I need to fix myself pa." "

Hannah woke up to the feeling of a hand stroking her hair. What??? Who??? How??? She was alone in the townhouse! Who could possibly be with her? "Hannah," it was Nate's voice, Hannah froze. Just last night, she dreamed of him. In fact it's still so vivid, she could actually remember every detail of her dream. So hearing Nate's voice when she was already fully awake though not still opening her eyes, made her heart skip a beat. "Hannah" she heard him chuckling. "I know you're already awake. Come on, open your eyes or I'll kiss you." Sukat sa sinabi nito ay agad siyang nagmulat, only to find Nate's face directly above her face. His amused gaze stared back at her surprised wide eyes. "N-nate?!" She stammered at nagmamadaling bumangon, totally forgetting na halos magkadikit pala ang mukha nila. So she ended up head butting Nate Sarmiento. "Ouch!" Exaggerated na sinapo ng binata ang noo nito. "I-I'm sorry!" Agad niya i

"Welcome back, GM!" Paul, his best friend slash Eli's bodyguard, greeted him with a huge grin on his face. Ito lang ang pinagsabihan niya ng pagdating niya dahil kailangan niyang magpasundo galing sa airport. "How's everyone?" he asked nang makasakay na siya sa kotse. "You mean, Hannah?" he teased and an involuntary smile lit up his face. Pero agad ding naglaho iyon nang makita ang seryosong mukha ni Paul. "Not good." "What do you mean not good?" kunot noong tanong niya na bahagyang kinakabahan. "The news isn't true right, Nate?" nananantiyang tanong nito. "What news?" mas lumalim ang pagkakakunot noo niya. "That you and Olive are getting married." "What?!" bulalas niya. "Of course not!" Saan galing iyon? "Well, that's what Olive's been telling everyone. That you're getting married. There were pictures of you and Olive circulating online. That you're together in Macau and you're having your sweet time t

It was just supposed to be three days. Kaso hindi siya nakaalis dahil sunod-sunod ang naging problema. Nate hated every freaking time he needed to spend in Macau. Each second away from Elisha and Hannah's almost driving his thoughts into nuts. He missed Hannah so much that he needed to disconnect himself with his phone during his stay in Macau so that he wouldn't be tempted to call her every hour. Worst, fly back to the Philippines just so he would have her in his arms again. Because admittedly, he was so in love with Hannah that he would move mountains to be with her. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that at the given time. Nate never thought he was capable of loving one woman that way. He had Olive for five years. Pero hindi siya nabaliw na hindi ito makita sa loob lang ng ilang araw. Although he believed he used to love her, separation had never been a problem to him. But with Hannah, it's a whole lot different story. Hannah Rodrigue

It's a weekend.Hannah decided to pay Leah a visit. Isinama niya si Elisha para makipaglaro ito kay Seth at para makita nito sa unang pagkakataon ang kapatid ng kaibigan nito.As expected, Eli's reaction was adorable. Seeing Bethany for the first time, Eli repeatedly told her na bigyan na rin niya ito ng kapatid. Inggit na inggit ito kay Seth."Eli, mommy and daddy need to get married first," sabi ni Leah."When are you getting married, mom?" Ungot nito na ayaw bitawan ang kamay ni Bethany."In the right time, anak.""When is the right time?""You'll just know it, Eli." Paano naman niya ipapaliwanag kay Elisha na malabo pa sa sabaw ng dinuguan ang relasyon nila ng ama nito? Eli won't understand."Okay," naka-pout na sabi nito bago lumapit kay Seth na tinawag ito papunta sa playroom."Ano na? Four days na si Nate sa Macau, ah? Kailan ang uwi?" untag ni Leah.Malungkot siyang umiling. Four days in Macau and he had only called her once. Pagk

"Coffee, Sir?" Hannah still works for Nate in the hotel. Pero sa bahay nito na siya nakatira at sinasabay na siya sa pagpasok after dropping Elisha to her school. Gusto pa sana niyang gawin 'yong dati na mag-i-stay siya sa school ni Eli but the kid herself said na kaya na nito with her yaya and Paul. "Yes, please." Hindi nag-aangat ng paningin na sagot ng binatang busy sa laptop nito. Maingat naman niyang inilapag sa tabi nito ang tasa ng kape na dala-dala na niya. "Express?" He smiled at her. "Yep..." nakangiti ring tugon niya. "For the ever busy GM." "Come here." "Hmn?" Kunot noong tanong niya na lumapit sa tapat nito, Nate's table in between them. "A good employee deserves a prize." He pushed his laptop to his side then leaned over his table, almost closing their distance while looking at her lips teasingly. "I am not aware of such," hindi siya umatras. "Wala ata iyon sa employee handbook."
