Callum’s POV

“Nagawa mo na ba ang inuutos ko?”

Iyon agad ang bungad ko ng makita ang kaibigan kong si Austine pag pasok ko ng office. Pagod akong umupo sa harap ng lamesa ko at nag hihintay sa sasabihin niya.

“Wala ka namang inutos na hindi ko nagawa” mayabang na sabi nito bago inilahad sa harap ko ang isang brown envelope.

Seryoso kong kinuha ‘yon at napangiti kalaunan ng makita ang nilalaman.

“Good job. I already send the money on your account” I smirked.

Isa-isa kong binuklat ang mga litrato at dokumento na nilalaman ng envelope at gusto kong palakpakan ang sarili ko. I knew it. I knew from the very start that Mr. Clemente was hiding something in his pocket.

“Your suspicion is correct after all, huh?” mangha na sabi ni Austine habang nakaturo sa litrato ni Mr. Clemente na nakikipag-usap sa isang businessman. “Nalulong na siya sa sugal at nagkaroon ng maraming utang dahil dito. He even reasoned his being hospitalized and used his daughter”

    Callum’s POV “Did you already send her a food? Her meds?” tanong ko kay Nanay Nelia pagkarating ko sa hapag. May mga pagkain na sa lamesa pero wala si Patricia. “Opo, pero hindi pa niya kinakain kasi sumusuka pa siya. Yung gamot naman kumpleto ang ibinigay ko,” sagot nito bago umalis. Napabuga na lang ako ng hangin bago nag simula kumain. Gusto ko sana siya puntahan sa kwarto at alagaan pero alam kong susungitan niya lang ako. Hindi naman lingid sakin na iniiwasan ako ni Patricia. I get it that she felt awkward every time we’re together after that hilarious night. I know because of what happened between us, she confirmed her doubts to me even more. I can’t blame her because every time I tried to make a conversation with her, she’ll walk out and will distance herself. Every time I looked at her, I’d remember that night and I want to curse myself because of that. That’s why I feel that she was mad of me. “Nariyan na po ang driver, sir” Tumango ako sa isang katulong bago

    Callum's POV "She's still not here?" I almost gasped as I didn't see a trace of Patricia on the dining table. Is she going to ignore me again? "Hahatiran ko pa lang po siya ng pagkain sa kwarto. Tinatanong niya rin po pala kanina kung narito na kayo sa ibaba," Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Nanay Nelia. Why she would asked that? "What's her reason? Is she always asking you?" "O-Opo sir..." nahihiya siya'ng tumango. I greeted my teeth. If this is what she want, then fine! I was not forcing her. Sigurado ako na ngayon ay hinihiling niya na sana ay mabilis lang ang isang taon para makawala na siya sakin. As usual, mag isa ako’ng kumain at mabilis din umakyat sa kwarto pagkatapos. Its weekend, so today should be my rest day but that's not a trend for me. I need to review some reports and documents because next week I'll be communicating with the boards again. Buong mag hapon ay nakaharap lang ako sa laptop at mga folders. I just told the maids to bring food to my room

    Callum's POV I became too busy with the company. Meeting with the boards and sharing some structural ideas with the members was not that easy. I was trying my best to manage my time but Patricia herself also makes way to avoid me. “I talked to Mr. Clemente yesterday, he said that you have appointment with him?” Pagod ako’ng tumingin kay mommy na nakaupo sa harap ko. Katatapos lang ng meeting ko kasama ang mga shareholders at mamaya ay may panibago na naman. My mind was already tired. “Yes, mom. He’s encouraging me to invest to that specific property” sagot ko sa malamlam na boses. “What’s your plan?” she asked curiously. Nag kibit-balikat ako. “I was planning to trapped him and make him look like he can't fool me. He’s working on another way to pay off his debts” “Hmm, he’s really an abuser” mapait na sabi ni mommy. “By the way, you look so trouble at the meeting earlier. Is anything bothering you, Callum?” “No, mom. I’m just tired maybe…” isinandal ko ang katawan sa

    CALLUM’S POV“I won’t go to the office today” Mabilis ko rin pinatay ang tawag pagkatapos ko sabihin ‘yon. It was my secretary. It’s weekend again so I will spend my day here in our house. Kung makikita rin naman ako ni mommy sa kompanya ay magagalit siya. Dahil gusto niya na magkaroon ako ng oras kay Patricia.I started my morning by opening some files. Una kong binuksan ang mga files at documents na isinend ni Austine. Ayon sa kanya, nilalaman nito ang mga impormasyon tungkol sa mga Laurier.Pilit kong inintindi ang nilalaman nito ngunit tanging pinagkakautangan lamang nila ang nakalagay, sa pagkakaalam ko ay bayad na rin nila ang mga ito so there’s no point anymore.“It is nonsense” usal ko bago pinatay ang laptop. Lumabas ako ng kwarto at dumiretso sa kusina. Nakaramdam ako ng uhaw kaya gusto ko uminom ng tubig. Wala ako’ng nakikitang maids at tanging si Patricia lang ang nadatnan ko. Nakatalikod siya habang nagtitimpla ng kape at kusang lumingon ng marinig ang yabag ko.“Good

    PATRICIA’S POVMasakit ang ulo ko, nanginginig ang mga kamay at hindi makapagsalita.Tanging naalala ko ay nanghina ako kanina hanggang sa mawalan ako ng ulirat. Nawala na ang hilo ko ngunit tila nanghihina muli ako ng makita ang envelope na naglalaman ng ultrasound at record ko sa ospital. Nakalagay na ito sa side table ko.“H-How come?” usal ko at dahan-dahan bumangon sa kama.Natatandaan ko na hawak ko ito kanina. Did Callum…oh, no! He can’t be seen it!Kinuha ko ang envelope at halos manlambot ako ng makitang gusot na ang mga papel na tila nilamukos. Indication that it has been touched. “N-No…”I brushed my hair with so much frustration. Wala na rin ang inilagay kong pregnancy test at natagpuan ko ‘yon sa ibaba ng lamesa. Siguro’y si Callum nga ang gumalaw nito dahil maaaring siya rin ang nag buhat sa akin papunta rito?Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko at kinabahan. Where is he now? Is he going to tell it to my parents?Natataranta kong kinuha ang cellphone ko at tinawagan s

    Patricia’s POV“How can I escape this day again?”Bumuntong hininga ako bago tumayo sa kama. Binuksan ko ang bintana kaya kumawala ang sinag ng araw sa kabuuan ng kwarto. Another day means another stressful day for me. Hindi ko alam kung nagtangka pa si Callum na puntahan at komprontahin ako kagabi rito sa kwarto dahil mabilis akong nakatulog. Kumakalam na ang sikmura ko kaya kahit ayaw kong magkita kami ni Callum sa ibaba ay bumaba parin ako para kumain. “Magandang umaga po, Mam” bati sa’kin ng katulong. “May pagkain na po sa hapag”Tumango ako bago sinipat ang paligid. “Uh…si Callum?”“Na’ko, nasa kwarto niya po. Uminom kagabi at madaling araw na natapos doon sa may pool area”Nag salubong ang kilay ko. “What? Nag inom siya? Marami ba ininom?”Tumango naman siya. “Opo…nag kalat din ang mga basag na bote roon sa likod…”Nasapo ko ang bibig sa gulat. He got drunk. I-Is it because of m-me? About what he found out?Hindi muna ako kumain at dumiretso sa pool area. Halos manlaki ang mata

    PATRICIA’S POVPuting kisame at mahinang tunog ng machine ang bumungad sa’kin nang mag mulat ako.Nasaan ako? Mabigat ang katawan ko at kahit gusto kong tumayo ay hindi ko kaya. Hirap din ako’ng itaas ang mga kamay ko.I noticed that I was wearing a patient gown. Ano’ng nangyari sa akin? Nasa ospital ako…“Patricia? Thank god you’re already awake!”Nagulantang ako sa sigaw na bumalot sa room. Iginala ko ang mata at natagpuan si mommy na palapit, nangingilid ang luha. “Mommy…” namamaos kong sabi.“Anak, mabuti gising ka na! Ano’ng nararamdaman mo? Itong braso mo kamusta na-““Ouch!” I flinched when she touched my left arm.“Oh, sorry! Siguro sariwa pa ang sugat mo…”The scaring happening suddenly pop inside my mind as I looked at my hurt arm. The black van, armed guys and those gunshots...Mabilis nag init ang mata ko at sunod-sunod na dumaloy ang mga luha rito. Nanikip ang dibdib ko habang naalala ang takot ko ng mga sandaling iyon.“A-Anak? Are you okay?” natataranta na si mommy. “W

    Patricia’sPOVMabilis kumalat at naging usap usapan ang naging pag ambush sa’min pero mabilis din iyon nawala. Dalawang araw lang ako nag tagal sa ospital at nag pauwi na rin ako. Sa mga lumipas na linggo ay nahirapan talaga akong kalimutan ang nangyari. Hindi ako makapaniwala na nakaligtas ako pero hindi ko rin matanggap na patay na si Nanay Nelia at ang driver. Parang gumuho ang mundo ko ng malaman ‘yon.They’re innocent! I witness how good they are and an instant, they already gone. Those evil should pay for this. I will never ever forgive them!Kahit ang pag dalaw at pag comfort ng pamilya at kaibigan ko rito sa bahay ay walang silbi dahil matindi ang iniwan na trauma sa’kin ng nangyari. Palagi na lang ako natatakot. Kahit sa pag labas ng bahay ay takot na ako.“If you need something, just call the maids. You’re safe now. There’s bodyguards around the house and roaming around the village. You don’t need to worry, if you feel something bad just call me,”Iyon ang mga huling salita

    CALLUM’S POV “How’s life of being a married man again?” I sip to my coffee before looking at Austine in front of me. “I can’t explain the feeling, Austine…” I answered. “Still reminiscing how we started,” It’s been what? A year now, since Patricia and I got married. Our relationship flowed so well. I’m still managing the company while Patricia is on her clinic. Ngayon, nagulat ako sa biglaang pag bisita ni Austine at kapatid kong si Ram sa’kin. Narito kami sa garden. Patricia was not at home, she was just going out to buy something. Austine is sharing some of his and Jess misunderstanding. “She’s asking for a break up?” I asked in surprise. “Why?” Lumihis ng tingin si Austine. “She wants to settle down already and you know I’m still not ready…” Natahimik kami Ram. Kaibigan ko siya at mahalaga si Jess kay Pat, hindi magandang mag hiwalay sila. “Bakit ba hindi ka pa ready?” ani Ram. “You two not getting younger anymore. Syempre, naiinggit ‘yon at naiisip na magpakasal-“ “Ayaw

    CALLUM’S POV“Finally, you got her again. We’re happy for you,”I smiled at Austine, who were my best man again beside me while we were waiting for the big and elegant door to open. I roamed my eyes around and can’t help but to smile seeing our families together.“Thank you, bro…” bumuga ako ng hangin at pinagdaop ang palad. “Kinakabahan ako,”Natawa si Austine. “Ngayon ka pa ba kakabahan? Totoo na ang nararamdaman niyo ngayon. Unlike on the first wedding, you two look so stiffed,”Yeah, I remember that. How the beautiful Patricia glared at me while we’re exchanging vows. How we pretend that we love each other but today? There’s no pretending anymore.Today is our wedding day. Today will be one of the best day of my life for sure.“Dalawang beses na kayo ikakasal,” biglang sabi ni Austine. “Ngayon, naiinggit na si Jess. Sana walang pangatlo, ha”“Why don’t you marry her, then?” I asked confused.I frowned when I saw a hesitation in his face. “Alam mo naman na hindi pa ako ready. My bu

    CALLUM’S POV“Callum, I swear, this is a silly idea!”Hindi ko pinansin si Austine na nakasimangot sa tabi ko. Nandito kami ngayon sa parking malapit lang sa clinic ni Patricia.“Come on, go outside. Do it!” pag pilit ko kay Austine na lumabas ng sasakyan ko.I pointed to him Patricia’s car just in front of us.“Damn, bakit ba kasi ako sumama sayo!” he gasped dramatically. “I can’t believe you come up with this corny idea-““Just shut up and do my favor,”I pushed him until he opened the door irritatingly.“Sa lahat ng humihingi ng pabor, ikaw ang makapal ang mukha!” usal niya. “Fuck, I don’t know you anymore. Ganito ka pala ka-corny pagdating sa pag-ibig. You’re whipped!”Natawa ako dahil nakasimangot siya’ng lumapit sa sasakyan ni Patricia. Tumingin muna siya sa paligid bago binutas ang gulong ng sasakyan. I smiled secretly. Perfect!Austine is still frowning when he returns.“Damn, I’m done! Wag mo na ulit ako idadawit sa ganitong bagay!”I tapped his shoulder before he left me her

    CALLUM’S POV“Callum, I’m really sorry. I didn’t want to make that happen…”Umalingawngaw ang pag iyak ni Zara habang nakayuko sa harap ko. I didn’t expect her to be my visitor this morning.“Patricia’s right, I was too desperate. To get you, to snatch you from her,” she continuously sobbed. “The loss of your child makes me so guilty to what I did. I can't sleep at the thought of you both grieving,”Nag tiim bagang ako habang pinanonood siya.“What will I do with your sorry if she leaves? She left me and you can’t do anything about it,” malamig kong sabi.I saw her shoulder shaking. Hindi ako naaawa sa kanya.“Why are you here, anyway?” I asked harshly. “I don’t want to see you! I fucking hate you, Zara!”“I’m here to apologize, C-Callum-““I don’t need that,”In the middle of crying, she took something from her bag. She’s trembling and handed it to me, I didn't accept it so she just put it on the table.It was the supposed evidence against the Mr. Laurier. The recordings and some pic

    PATRICIA’S POV“Doc, ano po ang update kay Miss Bella? Banned na po siya rito di ‘ba?I nodded to Nurse Aubrey as I studied my patient's urine test results this morning.“Yeah, I’m sorry about last week. Nakita niyo pa,”Hindi ko masyadong iniisip si Bella dahil sabi ni Callum, si Mrs. Velasquez mismo ang kumausap dito para tigilan na kami.So far, my interactions with Callum was good. Last week, we go out for a dinner. He still gives me flowers, we even visited Agatha. What we’re doing are so far to what I was thinking before. Akala ko...hindi na ‘yon mauulit. Akala ko mananatili na lang kaming iwas sa isa’t isa.“Ayos lang, doc. Mukhang okay na kayo ng asawa niyo,”I smiled with her term. Hindi na ako sanay na kilalanin si Callum bilang asawa dahil ilang taon kaming nagkahiwalay. Pero ngayon, pinararamdam niya sa’kin lahat ng bagay na hindi ko naranasan dahil lumayo ako.He also went to our house and talked to my parents.He asked permission to pursue me again. Knowing my parents ar

    PATRICIA’S POVSeven years ago, I told myself to focus on my career, becoming a doctor. I thought it would be my priority through the years but when I came back here, a lot had changed.I can't understand myself anymore. I thought...I'll never feel anything for Callum. I just fooled myself.Ngayon, parang tanga ako’ng naghihintay ng pag punta niya rito sa clinic ko! I keep looking outside my office.“Patricia, stop it!” I whispered to myself.Pinilit kong mag focus sa trabaho. Ayaw kong maapektuhan ito ng mga iniisip ko. But minutes just passed, I just found myself staring at my phone and waiting for his reply, damn it!“Ano bang nangyayari sa’kin…” naguguluhan kong bulong.Tumayo ako at lumabas sa office.Natagpuan ko sila Nurse Aubrey na abala sa pag inject sa mga babies na kararating lang. Lihim pa ako’ng napasulyap sa labas ng clinic pero malinis doon.Bumuntong hininga ako bago nag asikaso sa ibang pasyente. Nakalimutan ko saglit ang iniisip. Natuwa ako sa mga batang paslit na pi

    PATRICIA’S POV Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin at unang isipin. Kung ang tungkol ba sa trabaho ko o ang mga bagay na ginagawa ni Callum ngayon. Pagkatapos niya’ng sabihin sa’kin ang chance na gusto niya, palagi na siya’ng dumadalaw sa clinic ko. Halos araw-araw. Sending me flowers and foods sometimes. But what gave me a strange feeling was the things he showed me. Pakiramdam ko, malapit na ako’ng mabaliw sa ginagawa niya. “Doc, may flowers po ulit para sa inyo!” Nakangiting tumakbo palapit sa’kin si Nurse Aubrey habang hawak ang isang boquet ng roses. Bumuntong hininga ako bago ito kinuha. “Grabe, absent nga siya ngayon pero may flowers parin!” kinikilig niya’ng usal. Napailing ako bago binuklat ang note sa flowers. To my doktora: I can’t see you now because of a sudden meeting but expect me tomorrow. My face flushed after reading that. What’s with the flowers though? Hindi ko na nga alam kung saan ko pa ilalagay ang mga bulaklak na ibinibigay niya sa’kin. Ang iba

    PATRICIA’S POV My day didn’t go so well. Pumasok ako sa trabahong wala sa mood. Apektado parin ako sa nangyari samin kahapon ni Bella. I didn’t expect that to happen that way. I was so shocked. Bukod kay Zara noon, isa rin siya sa taong nagsabi sa’kin ng mga ganoong salita. Why do I feel that I’m the antagonist here? Kaya nga ako umalis dahil nasaktan ako, sinaktan nila ako. Pakiramdam ko ako lang ang sagabal sa kanila pero heto na naman. It's like I'm the reason between them again. Is Bella another version of Zara Banner? But some point, I realized something from what Bella said. Tama nga siguro siya na dapat hindi na ako bumalik, na ako lang ang gumugulo sa kanila but that’s not my intention. Should I gave her the satisfaction that she want? Para matapos na. Para hindi na ako masali sa kung ano’ng gulo tungkol kay Callum. Should I talk to him for our annulment? For them to be happy? I would gladly cooperate though. “Doktora…may bisita po kayo” I stopped writing the necessary

Jaime message me to come here to talk about my concern. It’s really big here. Alam ko’y magagaling din ang mga doktor dito. It’s about my patient. Maliit lang ang clinic ko at kailangan ng malaking doktor na hahawak sa kanya. Naalaa ko si Jaime dahil sa ospital nila. “Akyat na lang po kayo roon sa office ni doc. Hintayin niyo na lang po siya roon dahil nasa emergency room pa…” saad ng nurse. “Thank you,” Ngumiti siya at hinagod ako mula ulo hanggang paa. Nagtataka ako’ng tumalikod sa kanya papunta sa elevator. May mali ba sa suot ko? I’m just wearing an off shoulder dress. Nakalugay lang din ang buhok ko.Hindi ko na lang ‘yon pinansin at pumunta na sa 5th floor. Nang makarating ako roon ay wala masyadong tao. Ilang nurses lang.
