He doesn’t want tha that. What is he going to do now? Napatingin siya sa kanyang phone nang makita itong nag-ring. Kinuha niya ito at tinignan ang caller. Kumunot ang kanyang noo nang makita ang isang unregistered landline number na tumatawag. “Beaumont Khaleesi speaking, who’s this?” malamig niy
“Hindi ko alam kung ano ang meron,” she replied to her friend who is now busy sipping on her champagne. Habang siya naman ay sumisimsim ng juice. Wala siya sa mood uminom ng alak nitong mga nakaraang lingo. “Siguro ito na talaga nakatadhana para sa ‘kin.” “Sana magdusa si Jessi sa mga nagawa niya s
“Bakit hindi mo sila sinita?” nagtatakang tanong niya. “Wala rin namang mangyayari, e.” Humugot ito ng malalim na hininga. “Bahala na nga. Halika na.” Sakto namang bumukas ang pinto kaya agad silang lumabas ng elevator. They walked inside their rented suite and Cindy was the one who locked the doo
“You have nothing left to take back, Violet. Stop being delusional and don’t bother me.” He didn’t wait for the woman to speak. He immediately ended the call and put down his phone. Nang mag-ring itong muli ay hindi na niya ito pinansin. Pinokus na lang niya ang tingin sa laptop. Ngunit mukhang ay
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” sambit ni Cindy at mahinang natawa. “Are you really a doctor or you are just fooling around? Look.” Napatingin si Emory sa kanyang kaibigan nang ilabas nito ang pregnancy tests na ginamit niya kanina. Mas lalo siyang nakaramdam ng pagkalito. Bakit hawak ito ni Cindy?
“I want some milk as well, Cindy. Thank you so much.” Ngumiti si Cindy at tumango saka ito nagpaalam na lalabas muna ng silid. Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga at hinimas ang kanyang tiyan. “I have a baby,” she whispered while caressing her tummy. “I have a human in my tummy.” Napangiti siya ha
“The Head of the Khaleesi Clan is now… dead.” Mariin niyang kinagat ang ibabang labi at nanginginig ang mga kamay na sinauli ito sa kanyang kaibigan. “T-that’s fake. There’s no way he’d die. M-malakas pa ‘yon nang umalis kami sa Cebu, e.” “Maybe this is true, Emory.” Malungkot na tumingin si Cindy
Hindi na mabilang ni Emory kung ilang shot na ang sinalin ni Beau sa baso. She just stare at her husband who is now grieving. Walang ni isa sa kanila ang nagbabalak na basagin ang katahimikan na ‘yon. She just let him drink. Ang daming mga taong sa kanyang isipan ngunit pinili niyang manahimik. Kas
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
