There’s a huge sea behind this house?! “You look surprised,” natatawang saad ng matanda na nakaupo na ngayon sa upuan. She bit her lower lip as she looked at the ocean again. It’s golden hour. May mga ibon na nagliliparan at pinaghalong kahel at pula ang kalangitan. The place looks so majestic, en
“Naiintindihan ko po,” she replied and smiled. “And it really helped us. Ayaw ko rin pong maging selfish knowing na sa oras na bumagsak ang negosyo namin, hindi na makakapag-aral si Elijah. He has a life ahead of him.” Sa kanyang sinabi ay napangiti ang matanda. Binaba nito ang hawak na tasa sa mes
“Hon, you’re here.” It was Jessica. Dumiretso ang dalaga sa asawa nito at hinalikan ang pisngi. She immediately looked away and decided to go to the kitchen. Narinig niya ang usapan nila ni Jessica ngunit hindi niya na lang ito pinansin. Pagpasok niya sa kitchen at kimuha ng tubig sa fridge. Pini
Tahimik silang umupo sa trunk ng sasakyan habang tinatanaw ang buong syudad ng Cebu. She didn’t know skies could be this enticing even during at this darkest hours. May iilang bituin sa kalangitan at lahat ‘yon kumikinang, katulad nang kung paano kuminang ang mga ilaw mula sa syudad ng Cebu. “You d
“It does exist,” sambit ni Beau. “Universe is big. It can’t be that there’s only life here on earth.” Emory turned to him and smiled. “You love astrology too?” Umiwas sa kanya ng tingin ang binata at napangiti siya roon. Mahina siyang napailing at sumimsim sa kanyang iniinom na juice. She’s like a
“Are you making milk for your wife? Ang bilis mo naman yatang malaman na gatas ang paborito ni Emory bago matulog?” mapanuyang tanong ni Jessica. Yes, it was Jessica. Ang magaling na asawa ng kanyang kapatid. “Siguro hinintay mo ang pagkakataon na ‘to, ‘di ba? Ang maghiwalay si Emory at Brille par
Rinig na niya ang maiingay na manok sa labas ngunit hanggang ngayon ay dilat pa rin ang kanyang mga mata. Emory is sleeping beside him and it’s already three in the morning. Hindi niya alam kung paano siya matutulog sa ganitong pwesto. It feels so awkward! Very awkward. Hindi niya alam kung gagalaw
After waking up from her deep sleep beside Beau, she immediately got up from the bed and change. At nang pagdating niya sa kusina, naratnan niya ang Tita niyang abala sa paggawa ng agahan kaya heto, tumulong na siya. “Between you and my mother, mas malaki pa po ang oras na magkasama tayo, Tita.” Ti
That made her chuckle as well. Umismid lamang si Gem at lumipat sa kanyang daddy. Umalis naman si Emory sa pagkakasandal kay Beau at tumingin sa kanyang dalawang pang anak na lalaki. Lumapit naman ang mga ito sa kanya at isa-isa niya itong niyakap.“Did you have fun?” she asked.Tumango si Blue haba
She started browsing through the pictures while Selena is busy roaming her eyes. Hindi niya na lamang ito pinansin at pinagtuonan na lamang ng tingin ang kanyang hawak ngayon.Marami siyang mga napapansing designs na maganda sa paningin. But of course, hindi lang sa kanya ang kasal na ito. It’s her
“Do you want some tea? Coffee?”“No need. I’m not here as your guest. I’m here to coordinate with you how to plan out your wedding.”Hindi alam ni Emory kung ano ang kanyang dapat na maramdaman. She was looking at the woman, confused of what she should do next. Nakatitig lamang siya rito na para ban
“You wanted this,” he replied and looked at her. “You wanted this and there’s no need to be sorry. You chose him.”“He’s the father of my children.”“And you think he loves you?”“I love him,” she replied in a very low voice. “I… I don’t need him to love me. I love him, and that’s all matters.”Pans
Nang ilang hakbang na lang ang layo ay narinig nila itong nagsalita.“I was told you’re coming over.” Lumingon ito sa kanilang pwesto at tinaasan siya ng kilay. “You came here for what? To brag how happy you are right now?”Umiling siya at napalunok. “Brille…”“Have a seat,” saad nito at iminuwestra
“Are you sure about this?”Hindi na niya mabilang kung pang-ilang beses na siyang tinanong ni Beau tungkol sa bagay na ‘yon. She frowned at him and then smiled. Humilig siya sa balikat ng kanyang katipad at niyakap ito sa beywang.“You’re by my side. I’m always sure, Beau. Alam ko namang hindi mo ak
“What do you mean seeing me in person?”“Hindi mo ba alam? Your secretary contacted me to be your wedding planner. So I guess I have to see you soon?” Humagikhik ito. “Anyways, it’s morning here. Mag-iimpake pa ako para makapagkita na tayo.”Magsasalita pa sana siya nang margining niya ang malumanay
“Ako ang mauunang papasok,” he replied coldly. “I want to see him as well.”“Why now?” pangungulit nito. “Are you trying to win your parents back?”Napaismid siya sa tanong nito at mahinang napailing. “I don’t even give a fuck about them. Pinagbibigyan ko lang ang fiancée ko. I want her to be happy.
The flight bounce back to the Philippines was quiet. Kasama nila si Selim na umuwi. According to him, he just wanted to be back in the Philippines and spend more time with the kids. Hindi rin naman problema ‘yon sa kanya. Mas mainam na rin ‘yon dahil gusto niyang makabawi sa binata dahil sa mga sakr
