CELESTE"Kelly! Sam!" Halos hindi na ako mapakali ng makabangon ako sa aking hinihigaan. I didn't even notice the time. I forgot that I need to go out with my children nangako kasi ako sa kanila na ipapasyal ko sila. Hindi ko nagawang makatulog ng maaga dahil sa sinabi ni Apollo, I was so paranoid at the whole night pakiramdam ko ay mag nagmamatiyag sa amin. Damn you Noah Arkanghel bakit hindi mo na lang kami tantanan! He already have a family and what about my sister? Isa talaga iyon sa pinagtataka ko, he has no balls literally!"Mga anak! Sam! Kelly!" Saan ba pumunta yung dalawang bata na iyon pinag aalala ako. I always told them not to go outside when i'm not with them especially now natatakot ako na kuhanin sila sa akin ni Noah ano mang oras kahit alam ko sa sarili ko na mas may karapatan ako sa mga bata. I raised them without his help even in terms of financial tinaguyod ko ang kambal na hindi humihinga ng tulong sa kanya.That damn Apollo Eleazar I know that he knows something a
CELESTENabigla ako nang may nagsalita sa tabi ko. Isa pala ito sa mga empleyado dito na kasalukuyang nagpriprint ng mga dokumento. Kung hindi pa ako nito sinabihan, malamang nakatulala na ako dito buong magdamag.Nakakahiya, ano bang nangyayari sa akin at bakit ako nakakalimot ng ganito?"Thank you for reminding me," nasabi ko, abala kasi ako kaya siguro ako napapahinto sa pag-iisip. Papunta sana ako sa opisina ni Apollo, pero hindi ko alam kung makikialam ba ako sa kanilang usapan o hahayaan ko na lang silang mag-usap. Kailangan ko pa namang ipasa ang mga papel na ito kay Apollo, at kailangan ko rin tapusin yung dalawang dokumento na iyon na pinapagawa sa akin ng masungit naming boss! Bahala na nga, nagbigay ako ng malalim na buntong-hininga at binuksan ang pinto.Napakunot-noo ako nang hindi ko makita si Chalsea sa loob. Bakit kaya agad siyang umalis? Kanina lang, may pasabog pa siyang balita na buntis daw siya, 'di ba? Hindi naman ako nangungulit, pero curious lang talaga ako sa k
CELESTEKelly are ignoring me for the whole time even right now. We are currently here at guidance office hindi ko na magawang makapagtimpi dahil patuloy pa rin sa pambubully ang mga bata. I don't know why at their young age they already know about that, and hate me if you want but this kid in front of me will really make your blood boil his so hardheaded. His the one who push Kelly kung kaya't nagkasugat ako.Hanggat maari ay ayaw kong makisali sa away ng mga bata pero nasaktan si Kelly kaya hindi ko na ito papalagpasin baka kasi maulit pa. Mas maganda na sa madaling panahon ay madisiplina ang mga bata. Basta humingi lamang ito ng tawad sa anak ko."Mr Smith your son will be expelled if he bully another kid again. Look at what he did to Ms. Ambrosio daughter" nakita ko namang napakamot na lamang sa ulo si Mr. Smith lang angasan ito ng anak."I'm really sorry, my son and I already talk about this and he promise that he will behave already and will say sorry to pretty Kelly right son?"
CELESTEPuting kisame ang unang bumungad sa akin pagkamulat na pagkamulat ko ng aking mata. I blink my eyes twice upang luminaw ang paningin ko. Mabilis hinanap ng mga mata ko ang kambal ngunit wala sila sa silid tatayo na sana ako ng mapagtanto ko kung nasaan ako. I was in the hospital. I massage my temple as i'm trying to recall at what just happen. Ramdam ko ang sakit ng katawan at ng ulo ko. I feel so drain."Thank god your awake" napahawak ako sa dibdib ko ng may pumasok sa room ko it was Apollo his holding a basket full of fruits. "Nasaan yung kambal?" my brows arched as I ask him he look confuse but he also recover and change his expression."They are already sleeping kaya inuwi ko puna iyak ng iyak eh sobra silang nag aalala. Kaya kung ayaw mo na mag alala sila humiga ka lang dyan at magpahinga." Wala akong nagawa ng sapilitan nito akong pinahiga sa higaan ko. Nag-aalala ako sa kambal dahil nakita nila ako sa ganung kalagayan baka matrauma sila dahil sa nasaksihan. Hindi ko n
NOAH ARKANGHELNang makarating ako sa school ng kambal ay hindi puna ako bumaba ng sasakyan I'm wearing a hoodie again and a mask but they already saw me a lot of times and when I go to their house when Celeste fainted they already saw me in different places. I know they have a lot of question to me why I keep showing up out of nowhere it just that ala lang silang lakas na tanungin ako at lapitan. I wanted to secure their safety.Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na buntong hininga ng makita ko na ang mga bata, a wide smile form on my lips. I saw Sam following Kelly and his daughter Kelly is trying to hold the boy hands but he keep oj refusing that made Kelly eye rolled. What the hell seriously! May crush na ba ang anak nya, I can't help but to chuckled on that thoughts. It amuse me on how Kelly rolled her eyes at her brother Sam who's trying to push her away to that young boy. Oh god gladly I have a protective son.Napag-isipan ko nang bumaba mula sa kotse ng makita kong nagtatalo na ang da
NOAH ARKANGHELI let a heavy sigh as I open my eyes and reach for my alarm clock on my side table to stop it irritating sound. Why would I even set it at this early morning, I don't have a lot on my plates and beside I still don't have plans for today. I already get out of my bed and didn't even bother to wear a shorts and a shirt a boxer is enough and i'm alone what's the matter of being fully clothed I'm alone.Dumietso ako sa banyo and wash my face, my forehead furrowed as I notice that my mustache well what do I expect its been a long time since I haven't shave it. Maybe I need to got ready since family day on the school of my kids is already on next week. Alright maybe its my plan for today.I already got dress but not so formal. I need Damien help I hope he won't ask for another condition. Damn him kung makahingi ng mamahalin na kotse sa kanya ay tila wala itong pera. Kahit kailan talaga ay mahigpit sa pera ang kapatid nyang iyon. Well its also for my sake and thanks to him he g

Are we, busy person aren't allowed to do some makeover."Laugh again and I will burn your new car!" "Chill chill ok but I can say that na wala ng libre sa panahong ito""Damn as usual but you can at least make it a brother price!""Whatever as long as you will pay me. And I can really say that your getting older puro kana lang kasi trababo. Let's go before I change my mind" I can't believe on what I see right now all of the girls inside the salon look on our direction as I enter with Damien he even whistle as he open the door tsk attention seeker. Nilibot ko ang mata ko sa loob ng salon it was my first time to enter in a salon and I can't believe it myself that I will enter a salon well expect the unexpected. Mabilis kaming dumiretso sa VIP longue ng salon hindi na namin pinakinggan ang mga tilian at bulungan ng mg
CELESTE POVMaaga akong nagising dahil sa favor ng kambal. Hindi ko alam pero pwepwede ko namang tanggihan ang favor ng mga anak ko lalo na ng malaman ko na si Noah ang tinutukoy nilang kaibigan pero heto ako pasa alas kwatro pa lamang at naghahanda na ng mga ingredients gagamitin sa pagbebake na cookies.At isa pa ayoko naman sila na madisappoint hanggat maari ay ayaw kong tumanggi sa kanila sa tuwing humihingi sila ng pabor sa akin.Maaga akong nagising dahil sa hiling ng kambal. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko matatanggihan ang hiling ng mga anak ko, lalo na nang malaman ko na si Noah ang tinutukoy nilang kaibigan. Pasado alas kwatro pa lang ay gumising na ako at inihahanda ang mga igredients na gagamitin sa pagbe-bake ng cookies nahiling sa akin ni Sam at Kelly.Sa totoo lang, ayokong madismaya sila, kaya kahit na medyo maaga pa, handa akong pagtuunan ng pansin ang kanilang hiling. Gusto kong mapanatili ang masayang samahan namin, kahit na laam kong kay Noah nila ibibigay ang ibebake
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.
