CELESTE"Salamat po Ma'am. Naku ma'am napakswerte nyo po kay sir Noah. Yung batang iyon talaga katulad ng tatay kung magmahal" napahigpit ang hawak ko sa bulaklak, tsokolate at ilan pang masasarap na pagkain na galing kay Noah. He always ask some of his men to bring this to me. He make sure that I would eat all the foods he gave to me. Sino ba naman ang hindi kikiligin sa ganun di ba.Dahil kahit sinong babae pangarap na makaranas ng ganung treatment. It make us feel so special kahit na sinabihan ko na ito na hindi nito iyon kailangang gawin at maging praktikal. At hindi ko alam kung pinipilosopo nya talaga ako dahil halos last month lang ay pinadalhan nya ako ng isang sakong bigas at groceries stocks at lahat iyon ay paborito ko mabuti na lamang at may mini refrigerator ako sa loob."Ano pong ibig nyong sabihin?""Ganito rin kasi ang ama nya rati ng magkatampuhan si Sir Kane at Ma'am Keisha. Mahal na mahal ka talaga nya hija maniwala ka. Iba magmahal ang mga Eleazar. Naku mauna na ak
CELESTE"Celeste are you there? Hey are you okay what happen, nag aalala na ako kanina ka pa dyan" hindi ko magawang sumagot kay Keith. Kasi kahit ako naubusan ng sasabihin, I don't know what should I say. I'm not okay and I'm still thinking what does he mean on his poem. Naguguluhan ako, hindi ko maiwasang lagyan ng meaning ang bawat letra at pangungusap sa tulang iyon.I was overthinking when I read those words on his poem.But just like the sunsetOur story has come to an end. Anong gusto nyang iparating? Is he giving up on pursuing me? Masyado ba akong nagmatigas? I don't know I keep overthinking. I want an answer, I want to make it clear. But everytime I tried to call his number isa lang ang lagi kong naririnig sa kabilang linya na nag iwan sa akin ng pangamba. Bakit kailangan nya pang mag-iwan ng mga unpuzzled messages naguguluhan ko!The number you have dialed is cannot be reached. Please try again later.I was sweating all over at bahagyang nanginginig ang kamay ko. I can't h
CELESTE"Thank you Ma'am hope to see you again" marahan kong pinunasan ang pawis ko sa noo dahil sa sobrang pagod. I don't know but I easily got tired halos ilang oras na akong nag seserve ng mga customer. And also greeting them hindi naman ako napapagod ngumiti it just that I was standing there for an hour. Greeting for all customer that enter and exist. Hindi ko akalain na ganito kahirap ang trabaho bilang isang staff crew sobrang nakakapagod at kailangan talaga ng mahabang pasensya. Tinitiis ko na lamang ang masasakit na salita na naririnig ko sa mga customer at pilit silang iniintindi kahit na mali nila ay kinakailangan mong magpakumbaba. Dahil ang sabi ay customer are always right but it just really unfair to us, the employees nababastos kami at hindi tama iyon pero pag pinaglaban namin kami pa rin ang mali.May pagkakataon talaga na tila gusto mo na lamang umupo pero hindi pwede. In my entire life I never feel exhausted like this, maybe hindi lang ako sanay sa mga ganitong gawa

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND I'M SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT THIS HOW THE STORY GOES.CELESTE"Are you sure about this Celeste I can go with you" marahan akong umiling kay Keith I know his just worried but I can take care of myself at buo na ang desisyon ko. I decided to tell Noah about my pregnancy I want to get this out of my chest. I was so nervous at what he will gonna react, paano na lang kung hindi nya matanggap ang anak namin.I don't have any intention to destroy his relationship with my sister...lalo na at ikakasal na sila at magkakaanak. I just really want to tell Noah about my pregnancy I don't have any intention. Hinahanda ko na ang sarili ko sa mga posibilidad.I call Noah last night and ask him for talk mabuti na lamang at pumayag ito. I even heard my sister voice on his background I try so hard to not be affected but when he end
CELESTEI don't know how I survive that night, I was so scared, lost and hopeless. I blame myself for Katarina death. Her body was found death the couple even try to put the blame on me at ako ang itinuturo nilang pumatay kay Katarina. Mabuti na lamang malakas ang ebidensya laban sa kanila. I got trauma, I always had a nightmare that will left me onto tears.Hindi ako makapaniwala na mangyayari iyon ss akin. Ano bang nagawa ko para parusahan ako ng ganito. Ng dahil ba sa paninira ko ng relasyon ni Noah at Ate! Hindi pa ba sapat na iniwan at hindi ako kayang panindigan ng taong mahal ko.Tandang tanda ko pa ang kababuyang ginawa nila sa amin hindi na ako nakapagpigil ng maipakulong sila ni Daddy. I didn't expect that he knows my pregnancy and I'm so sorry for judging him easily. I still have those scars, marks and the memory I experienced on their hand sobrang nakakatrauma. My parents was so angry muntik pang atakihin si Daddy.Akala ko katapusan ko na ng araw na iyon, it was a long da
CELESTEHanggang ngayon ay tulala pa rin ako ng malaman ang pangalan ng mabait na ginang. Hindi ko ba alam kung nag ooverthink ba ako. There's a lot of Eleazar there Celeste, maybe it just a coincidence pero hindi ko pa rin maalis sa isipan ko si Mrs. Eleazar.Hindi ko rin naman kasi maiaakila na may hawig sila pero unti lang naman. Hindi ko pa kasi nakikita ang mga magulang ni Noah kahit noon pa kaya wala akong ideya."Ayos ka lang ba Celeste, tila wala ka sa sarili. May masakit ba sayo?" mabilis akong umiling sa sinabi ni Tita. I let a heavy sigh and trying so hard to clear my thoughts, siguro sadyang nagkataon lamang iyon. Just like what my auntie say to me and even my parents the life in abroad aren't that so easy sobrang hirap I feel homesick. Minsan nagkukulong lamang ako sa kwarto ko dahil may trabaho si tita and her childrens was on their own condo. Karamihan rito ay nakabukod na sa mga magulang pagtungtong sa legal na edad. I ran towards the restroom and vomit, my whole body
CELESTEI was too stunned to speak ng makababa ako sa hagdan. I was clueless at what he is doing here at early morning I don't have any idea. His even have a basket on his right hand full of fruits I don't know what is his intention. I can hear my aunt giggles at my back napapikit na lang ako ng marihin, I bit my lower lips when I feel a sudden strike of pain in my womb kung kaya't binagalan ko ang pagbaba sa hagdan."Are you okay? You better seat here" inalalayan ako nitong makaupo sa sofa I feel my baby kicking. I don't know when his near my baby kick. Maging ako ay naguguluhan na rin."Ayos ka lang ba Celeste? May masakit ba tell me" mabilis akong inilangan si tita nabigla lang talaga ako sa biglang pagsipa ni baby. When I turn my head on the side I saw Apollo green eyes with full of care balot ng pag aalala ang mata nito. Why does he need to give such confusing signals. His mom go with me in my OB-Gyne I didn't tell her about his son errands. Akala ko hindi na masusundan ang araw
CELESTE"Do you have an appointment ma'am with Mr. Eleazar?" Napalunok ako ng marinig ang sinabi nito, I don't have any appoinment hindi ko naman akalain na kailangan papala nun."I don't have any appoinment but this is really urgent he gave me this business card" when the girl saw the business her face lightened."You must be Celeste ma'am right?" Mabilis ko itong tinanguan nakahinga ako ng maluwag mabuti na lamang at hindi ko pa naitatapon ang business card na iyon. Ito na lang talaga ang naiisip ko na paraan para kumita para sa mga anak ko. Sana talaga ay tanggapin pa ako nito, kakapalan ko na talaga ang muka ko."Follow me Ma'am Celeste" I just followed her until we reach Apollo Damien office he was occupying this large space. He was really well off tila nalulula ako sa taas nito, I'm not use with this, I feel like I was an outcast i'm the only one who's not wearing appropriate attire. Ngayon ko lang narealize na dapat naman pala ay nag-ayos ako kahit unti nakakahiya pala they are
NOAH ARKANGHEL "NOAH THERE WAS A SNAKE HERE!" natataranta akong tumakbo sa ikalawang palapag ng bahay namin ng marinig ko ang boses ni Celeste. Damn! I was panting when I reach our room. "What is it sweetie" binigyan ako nito ng isang matalim na tingin and when I saw what's on the floor ay napatampal na lamang ako sa noo ko. "Look the snake just leave this here!" "I'm sorry sweetie" hahalikan ko sana ito sa pisngi pero umiwas ito. Nawala na kasi sa isip ko ang damit na hinubad ko kanina at nasa lapag ito. Ayaw nya talaga sa makalat kaya't hanggang maaari ay hindi ako nagkakalat. I choose to work from home dahil kinakailangan kong bantayan si Celeste she got hospitalized last week. Sobra ang galit sa akin ni mommy ng malaman iyon halos itakwil na ako bilang anak hindi ko makapaniwala pero alam ko namang may mali ako kasi hindi ko sinunod ang gusto ng asawa ko. Damn I still can't believe that she is my wife. She is pregnant on our third child may kalakihan na ang tiyan nito at ang
NOAH ARKANGHEL There's something special about starting your day with a peaceful morning routine, especially when it involves cooking up a delicious breakfast like fried rice, hotdogs, sunny-side-up eggs, and toasted bread with milk. It sounds like you've created a comforting and satisfying meal to kickstart your day. Taking a break from my paper works to focus on something as simple and enjoyable as preparing breakfast can really help recharge your mind and spirit. Sometimes, stepping away from the hustle and bustle of work allows us to appreciate the little moments in life hindi ko ba alam but I'm so energetic today. Speaking of memories, like what happened last night that's brought a smile to your face this morning. Sometimes, it's the ordinary moments that leave the biggest impact on us, reminding us to treasure each day and find happiness in the little things. Nakikinig ako ng kanta habang nagluluto I have earphones on my ear bahagya ko pang ginagalaw ang katawan ako at sumas
CELESTE Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin maiwasan ang matulala sa kawalan dahil sa napag-usapan namin ng Daddy ni Noah. At first I don't really understand why did the Eleazar do that ipinagpapasalamat ko pa nga dahil hindi nila napatay si Daddy. I discover that he shot Noah, yun siguro yung scar na nakita ko sa kaliwang parte ng dibdib nito. I can't imagine that he can able to do that just because Noah refuse to help them on the bankruptcy of their business. Hindi ko masisisi ang Eleazar sa ginawa nila, they almost lost their son Noah at hindi ko rin mapapatawad ang mag-asawang Ambrosio kapag nangyari iyon. My memories came back pero hindi pa lahat yung mga memories na nagflaflash sa akin bago ako mahimatay ay nangyari ng mga nata pa kami ni Celestia. Our real parents put us on orphanage and left us with another family but it so sad that the orphanage is not the normal one. They use to sell kids himbis na alagaan at pakainin ginagawa nila itong trabahador at pinagtratrabaho sa mu
CELESTE As I sat in the garden, nibbling on my bread and sipping juice, my attention was drawn to the lively scene before me. Celestia, my exuberant sister, was engaged in a playful game with Noah Arkanghel and the twins, their laughter filling the air. Aunt Keisha and Uncle Colten had retired to their room, leaving the younger ones to their amusement. Hindi ko na lamang maiwasang mapairap dahil sa view sa harap ko! Glancing around, I noted the absence of our other siblings. They were all caught up in their respective business ventures, leaving only Luna, the enigmatic one among us, present. Luna, with her striking presence as a model and shrewdness as a business owner, often stood apart from the rest of us. Masasabi ko talaga na napakaganda ng lahi nila, walang duda tila napakaperpekto ng babae nilang kapatid pero ang pagkakaalam ko ay ilag sila rito. Some would label her as the family's black sheep, but to me, she was simply misunderstood. As Celestia and Noah shared jokes and p
CELESTE Kanina pa ako tulala dito sa kwarto magmula ng lumabas si Noah. And i'm still using the white sheet to cover my naked body. I can still remember the hurt that strike on his green eyes when I told him I don't love him anymore. Nabigla lamang ako dahil hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko at isa pa natatakot ako na bumigay muli at sumugal. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagtulak sa akin at lumabas ako ng kwarto. I am trying not to go outside but I can't help it. While stepping down the stairs I heard a sound of a shattered glass kung kaya't napahinto ako. The only lights within the mansion is the chandelier, and i'm not familiar with their mansion sinusubukan ko lamang sundan ang ingay na narinig ko mula sa nabasag na baso. Wala akong ideya kung may gising pa sa pinagkakatiwalaan nila but I can say they are already sleeping cause its almost 11:00 pm."Damn it!" Napahinto ako ng marinig ang boses ni Noah. Hahayan ko na lamang sana ito pero nag-aalala ako, knowing Noah his kinda war freak.
CELESTE Kanina pa ako tulala magmula ng makaalis kami sa bahay, ipinatingin ko na lamang ito kay Tita. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa nangyari kanina. Noah and I just fucking kiss! Kung hindi pa namin narinig ang mga bata ay baka nasa sofa na ako ngayon and still moaning his name! Napailing na lang ako sa isipan na iyon. Masyado kaming naging sabik sa isat-isa but the problem now is I don't know on how can I face him! Tandang tanda ko pa rin iyon, I can't help but to touch my lips but I groan when I felt the wound on it. Bakit kasi kinakailangan pa nyang kagatin at panggigilan! "Mommy what happen to your lips po it looks swollen?" Napagawi ang tingin ko kay Kelly ng magtanong ito. We are already here at the airplane ramdam ko pa ang antok ko pero hindi ko magawang makatulog dahil sa nangyari kanina it keeps playing on my mind. "Ahh its nothing anak, bakit hindi ka na lang matulog" I heard Noah and Apollo chuckled at what I said nasa kabilang upuan lang ang mga
CELESTENang magising ako sa ingay ng alarm clock, agad akong tumayo at pinatay ito nang hindi magising ang kambal. Mapayapa ang tulog nila dahil sa pagod. Ipinaghanda ko agad ang aming mga gamit para sa susunod na araw. Matagal ko nang pinag-isipan ang aming pagbabalik sa Pilipinas. Bilang isang ina, hindi ko nais na maging di-makatarungan sa aking mga anak kung sakaling nais nilang bumalik. Oo, nagpasya na akong bumalik sa Pilipinas. Handa na akong harapin ang mga pagsubok at magpatawad sa mga nangyari. The kids were overjoyed when I shared the news with them, and even Noah couldn't believe it. He thought I might just be caught up in the moment, but I assured him that I was determined to return to the Philippines with my children and start anew. Besides, I've been missing the Philippines the food, the people, and the simple way of life.Yes, we're living a simple life here in London, but it's quite different. The cost of living is no joke, especially since what I earn from the bake
CELESTE Its been an hour since we left the restaurant. I can't stop thinking about Daniel's bombshell: the mother of his daughter. It's hard to believe we bumped into each other here. Maybe things happen for a reason, as they say. Our meeting feels like fate. Daniel's revelation has left me stunned. I'm grappling with the idea that life's events might be part of some bigger plan. It's like the universe is guiding us to face truths we never saw coming. The shock of seeing Daniel again, combined with his unexpected news, has stirred up so many emotions. I'm left wondering about the mysteries of fate and coincidence. How did we end up here, connected in this moment? Despite feeling overwhelmed, I can't shake the feeling that this meeting holds some deep meaning. As I think it over, I can't help but wonder what else life has in store for us on this wild ride."At first I still don't believe that you are related like how come right" kanina pa kami rito palakad lakad lang dito sa parke and
CELESTE Pasado alas sais pa lang ng umaga ay nagising na ang mga bata. Hindi ko magawang pagsabihan sila dahil baka magtatampo nanaman kaya hinayaan ko na lamang. I can't win on an argument with Noah when he say his going to tour the twins around his company here in London kaya't maagang nagising ang mga bata ay hinihintay ng mga ito ang pagdating ni Noah. They were so jolly, while eating their breakfast. Hindi ko akalain na merong kompanya rito si Noah grabe hindi ko ata kayang bilangin ang dami ng properties nila.Noah loves buying land, especially in business areas, as part of his money plan. Even though he's already successful, he keeps investing in growing industries, making him a billionaire at a young age.Understanding land's value, especially in developing areas, boosts his wealth.Noah's smart strategy and market understanding show his business skills.
