CELESTEI was looking around the parking lot but I still didn't see him. Hindi ko alam but I was waiting for him for an hour now. Kanina pa ako pabalik balik rito. My class end at 6:00 pm but it's almost eight and his still not here. I let a heavy sigh at tumayo sa kinatatayuan ko. Masama ang loob ko, I was fuming mad at hindi nya ako masisisi kung may galit akong nararamdaman ngayon at isa pa hindi ko ata ito makakalimutan. Sya lang ang pinaghintay ako ng ganito katagal and worse literal na umasa lang ako.But there's a part of me saying that it was also my fault since umasa ako sa kanya na susunduin nya ako, he made fool of me! I hate him! I want to curse him to death! Pero katulad ng sinabi ko, kasalan ko rin dahil naghintay ako. Ito kasi ang hirap sa akin ang bilis kong magpaniwala sa kanya kaya heto ngayon umaasa na sisiputin pa rin nys pero mukhang malabo na iyong mangyari dahil halos ilang oras na akong nag-aantay rito na parang tanga.I bit my lowe lip to stop the tears seems
CELESTEBahagya kong binangga ang balikat ni Noah ng umalis ako, I saw how his jaw move on annoyance halatang hindi nito nagustuhan ang inasta ko. I don't know where did I get that confidence to defend myself. I just know that I was fuming mad. I wanted to ask Noah so bad, I want to curse him death!Its already clear that he will never choose me. Pampalipas oras lamang nya ako. Maybe he find our situation exciting and getting caught by my sister is what excite him. Noon pa man ay may naririnig na kaong balita patungkol sa kanya kung gaano raw ito kabilis magpalit ng babae pero binalewala ko iyon dahil sino pa naman ako para husgahan sya lalo na at ng mga panahon na iyon ay hindi pa kami magkakilala oh hindi ko pa sya kilalang lubos.Hindi ko alam ang dahilan nya about what he did. He never speak to me. He will just say that he was attracted to me and I can say that I was hurt.Yun kasi ang problema his lusting over me and I know this day he will be tired. It will fade, panandalian lam
CELESTEAwkward!That was the word I can describe the ambiance right now. Here we are still seating on the bench at park. Napaggigitnaan namin si Ivy. We are just all silence. Walang gustong magsalita sa aming tatlo. Napadako ang tingin ko kay Ivy sa biglang pagtikhim nito, but instead of meeting her eyes, ang mata ni Keith ang sumalubong sa akin. Pareho kaming nag iwas ng tingin dahil roon.Pinakiramdaman ko ang kabog ang dibdib ko. Hindi ko alam kung kaba oh kilig ito. Pero kung tutuusin ay mas madaling pakisamahan si Keith dahil may isang salita sya. Kahit kailan ay hindi pa nito ako nagawang paasahin, oh hindi kaya pareho lang din sya ng ibang lalaki? Kung papipiliin man ako between Keith and Noah Arkanghel ang pipiliin ko ay si Keith.Napakagat ako sa labi ko dahil naisip. Seriously Celeste pumipili ka? Napakaassuming ko sa part na iyon samantalang pareho naman silang walang gusto sa akin. Ouch huh reality sucks, wala naman akong nakikitang mali sa hitsura ko at isa hindi ako pan
CELESTE"Where did you go Celeste?" I let a heavy sigh and rolled my eyes at what Celestia ask. I have notice that these past few days napapadalas na ang pagiging curios nya patungkol sa akin. She mostly ask who I was with, kung saan kami pupunta at kung ano ano pa. Seriously papalitan nya ba si Mom at Dad sa pagiging mausyoso.Ever since that accident happen ay bihira na lang magkatagpo ang landas naming dalawa kahit nasa iisa pa kaming bahay. Meron sa part ko ang nalulungkot but at the same time masaya kasi nagagawa ko na lahat ng gusto ko pero tila may kulang sa pagkatao ko. At ngayon naman tila si Celestia na ang papalit sa kanila dahil sa pagiging pakialamera nya or baka naman nakakahalata na sya? Iwinaksi ko sa isipan ko iyon. That's not gonna happen, Noah and I are so careful."Do I need to report to you everytime where I go hmm Celestia. Pwede ba hayaan nyo na lang ako hindi ko naman pababayaan ang pag aaral ko" bahagya ko pa itong binangga sa balikat pero hindi ito natinag.
CELESTELabis ang kabang nararamdaman ko habang isinusuot ang natanggal kong top. Ramdam ko na pinagpapawisan ang kamay ko. I don't feel such remorse when I kiss him pero hindi pa rin talaga mawala yung kaba na nararamdaman kapag alam mo sa sarili mo na may nasasaktan kang iba. The image of my sister Celestia crying and blaming me for having an affair with Noah scared me.No matter how hard I try to convince myself that its okay to have an affair with him hanggat hindi nalalaman ni Celestia tinatamaan pa rin ako ng konsensiya. I feel like my Dad was really right I was blacksheep of the family. I was rules breaker ang problema nga lang ay puro ako na lamang ang nakikita nila."Calm down Celeste, calm down i'm just here" pagpapakalma sa akin ni Noah."H-how couild I calm down Noah, Celestia was outside baka makita ka nya. Anong gagawin ko" sobrang kabog na ng dibdib ko nawawala ako sa sarili kapag kinakabahan at hindi ako makapag-isip ng tama."Shhh don't worry she won't caught us so ca
CELESTE"Hey to Earth Celeste, are you okay?" Bumalik ako sa wisyo ng may bumangga sa akin. God i'm out of my senses! Paano na lang kung sa truck ako bumangga! Gusto ko pa naman mabuhay ng matagal!"I-Ivy" mabuti na lamang at si Ivy lang ang nakakita sa akin."Hey, Good morning. Ano bang nangyari at parang wala ka sa sarili kanina pa kita tinatawag pero hindi mo ako pinapansin kaya nilapitan kita pero your seem like thinking on something. Are you okay?" Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na buntong hininga at tumingil mula sa malaya. I was looking at the people on the quadrangle they were happily talking with their friends, they were also a lot of couples who's doing Public Display of Affection didn't mind if some of the professor caught them.Sana ganun rin ako, just chilling there at walang mabigat na dinadala. Ever since our path cross tila biglang bumaliktad ang mundo ko. I supposed to be on the top but now i'm slowly falling down, maayos pa ang pagsasama naming magkapatid until Noah came
CELESTEHindi ko na alam kung ilang minuto oh oras na akong nakatingin lamang sa kisame ng kwarto. Patuloy na bumabagabag sa isip ko ang binitawang salita ni Keith. Napakalaki ng impak sa akin nun dahil on my entire life it was my first time to hear from someone that he or she wouldn't be ashame to know me instead his even so look fine and proud of me.There was a connection between me and Keith that I can't explain. I am comfortable everytime i'm with him napapanatag ako just like how I feel when I was with Noah. Posible bang magkagusto ako sa dalawang lalaki? Napakaimposible talaga! I can be with Keith, we can be together but there's something that we can't we really can't. On the other hand Noah is like a forbideen fruit no matter how dangerous to take a bite of him but I just did take a bite no matter how poisonous it is. I take a risk, at heto ako ngayon wala atang katapusan kong haharapin ang bunga ng kasalanan ko.Napapitlag ako ng may kumaluskos sa may binatana ko. And my jaw
CELESTEPatuloy lang sa pagtunog ang cellphone ko at wala akong balak sagutin ito. Its been an hour since my phone are keep on ringing. Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na buntong hininga ng marinig kong nag ring ang cellphone ko and as usual it was Noah. Kinuha ko ang phone ko and read some of his message. Hindi ko alam pero wala ako gana na sagutin ang tawag nya. It seems like just this day I wanna cut my communication on him. Pero kilala ko na si Noah hindi ito titigil at ang isang malaking tanong kaya ko na syang tiisin?Arkanghel:Where are you? I'm already here i'll be waiting for you here.Napakagat ako sa labi ko habang binabasa ang text message nya. Nakailang tawag na rin ito sa ilang oras na hindi ko pinapakialaman ang cellphone ko. I just let it ring on my side table. Marahan kong ipinikit ang mata pinipigilan ko ang sarili ko na hindi mag break down at abutin ang cellphone ko sa side table.Arkanghel:Damn sweetie i'm worried about you. Is there's something wrong? I am so worrie
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. Investing in real estate diversifies his money and opens doors for more opportunities. His active role in growing businesse
