Shattered Vows Chapter 11
AmaraAll day we stayed in the hotel to rest. It felt really great that Rafael came with us. It made me feel a little more at ease.Medyo naninibago rin kasi ako nang makabalik ulit dito pagkatapos ng ilang taon. Mahirap man aminin pero parang nanumbalik sa akin ang mga nangyari noon pagkalabas namin ng eroplano. Mabuti na lamang at minsan ay kinakausap ako ni Rafael, kahit kadalasan wala naman sa hulog ang pinagsasabi niya basta malibang lang ako. Nakakatulong iyon maibaling sa ibang bagay ang atensyon ko, kaysa isipin ang mga nangyari noon.Nakakagalit ang ginawa nila, nakakasuka. Hanggang ngayon ay pinagsisisihan ko talagang hayaan sila na gawin sa akin ang lahat ng iyon. Hindi sila karapat-dapat sa kabaitan ko. Inabuso nila ako.We shared the huge room he booked. I had no problems with it since alam ko naman na ang pagkatao niya. Kahit yata maghubad ako sa harapan niya mandidiri lang iyon. Ilang taon na kaming magkaibigan, at laking pasalamat ko rin sakanya na nabuhay pa ako ngay
Shattered Vows Chapter 12
Amara Bumaba ako sa harapan ng isang napakalaki at eleganteng building. Its modern design was striking, with large glass panels that allowed a clear view of the interior. Kitang kita sa labas lahat ng tao sa loob, mayroong nakatutok sa laptop, may nag uusap at ang mga nagtra-trabaho rin dito. The building exuded an aura of sophistication and success, much like the one I had in the States. Huminga ako nang malalim bago pumasok sa loob. I walked through the glass doors, entering a spacious lobby filled with sleek, contemporary furniture and tasteful art pieces. Maganda ang atmospera, kahit saan ka lumingon ay halos yayamanin ang makikita mong tao. I made my way to the reception desk, where a friendly yet efficient-looking secretary greeted me. "Good morning," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'm Amara Verity Fernandez. I have a meeting regarding the perfume collaboration." Ngumiti ito sa akin ng malaki, bato ako binati. "Good morning, Ms. Fernandez. We've been expecting you.

Amara I went back to the hotel after that. Para akong nakalutang, hindi maintindihan ang dapat na maging reaksyon. Hindi naman ako sigurado na siya iyon, nakakapanibago lang. Pumasok ako ng hotel ngunit wala na sila roon. Ibinilin ko naman sakanila bago ako umalis kanina na umalis nalang sila kahit wala ako. Susunod naman ako pagkatapos. Pero parang nawalan na ako ng gana. Hindi dapat ganito, matagal ko nang ibinaon sa limot lahat ng nangyari. Kung sakaling siya man iyon, ano naman ngayon? Malamang ay sila na ngayon ni Tiana. Baka nga may anak na sila. Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas. Kontento na rin ako na ako lang at yung mga anak ko. Nandito pa si Rafael upang suportahan ako sa lahat ng bagay. I sighed at my own thoughts, feeling the weight of my fears pressing down on me. Shaking my head to clear my mind, kinuha ko yung cellphone para tawagan si Rafael. Kailangan ko silang puntahan ngayon, nangako ako sa dalawa na susunod ako doon. Kailangan ko rin ikalma ang sarili.

Amara "Ask mommy" sagot ni Rafael kay Yuan. Nangungulit itong huwag muna bumalik ng States at pumunta sa bahay ni Rafael sa probinsya. I chuckled as Yuan kept tugging at my hand, trying to get my attention. "Mom, can we stay here a little longer? Please?" he begged, his eyes wide with excitement. Kasalanan talaga ito ni Rafael, dahil sinabi niya pa iyon. Hangga't maaari sana ay pagkatapos namin na mag gala rito, ay babalik na kami ng States. Hindi ako komportableng mamalagi rito. On the other side, Ayala was quietly taking in the surroundings, her small hand firmly in Rafael's grip. She looked up at him every now and then, her curiosity evident in her gaze. Tahimik lang si Ayala, hindi ito yung tipong nangungulit pero makikita pa rin sa mukha niya yung kuryusidad. Naghihintay ng magiging desisyon ko. Paano ako tatanggi kung ganito yung mga mukha nila. I glanced at Rafael, who was smirking playfully, his eyes sparkling with encouragement. "It would be a good experience for t

Javier I sat at the head of the table, fingers tapping against the polished wood. The room bustle with low conversations, but the tension was thick. Every eye was on me. I took a deep breath, trying to keep my cold anger in check. We were in trouble, and my team knew better than to waste my time.Masyado ko na yatang napapabayaan ang kompanya dahil lang sa balitang nasagap ko. Ilang araw palang ang nakalipas nang hindi ko ito nasuri. Ito na agad yung nangyari. Napasapo ako sa aking noo at napabuntong hininga, sanhi ng pagtinginan ng mga taong nandito sa loob ng conference room.The projector flickered on, casting a pale blue light across the room. Graphs and charts filled the screen, outlining our latest setbacks. Delays in our big project, rising material costs, labor disputes. It was a nightmare threatening to destroy one of my companies. “Let’s get started,” I said, my voice cold and firm. I leaned forward, elbows on the table, and looked each executive in the eye. They were nerv

JavierI’m driving at top speed to get to our house. Mom keeps pulling stunts like this, and I’m fed up. This is going to be her last warning. I can’t deal with all this bullshit anymore.Palagi nalang pinaparatangan ang asawa ko sa mga walang kuwentang bagay. Ilang beses ko na itong pinagsabihan, umuulit pa rin. Kung hindi niya mabigay ang respeto na karapat-dapat sa asawa ko, handa akong tapusin lahat ng ugnayan namin kahit siya ang mismong nagluwal sa akin.When I finally pull up to the house, I see her sitting comfortably on the terrace, a cup of tea in her hand. She’s smiling sweetly at me, as if she’s been eagerly waiting for my arrival. Her calm demeanor only fuels my anger. I step out of the car and walk up to her, my eyes cold and unyielding. She’s accusing my wife of cheating on me, and it’s tearing my life apart. I can’t understand how she can be so relaxed and content while causing so much chaos. Natutuwa pa yatang nasasaktan niya ang asawa ko dahil sa ginagawa niya.“We

RafaelWhen we finally arrived in my home province of Capiz. Mabuti nalang at pumayag si Amara, ngunit kanina pa itong seryoso. The journey had been long, but seeing the lush, green landscapes and the familiar sights of my childhood made every mile worth it. Amara sat beside me, tahimik lang ito na nakatingin sa labas, while Yuan and Ayala pressed their faces against the windows, eager to take in every detail."Look at that beach, Papa! Can we swim in it?" Yuan asked, ang boses nito ay malaki at tuwang tuwa. "Of course, we can," I replied with a smile. Tumingin ako sa dagat, inaalala ang mga nangyari noong bata pa ako. "I used to swim there every day when I was your age."The winding roads brought us closer to the village, and the scent of the sea mingled with the fragrance of the fields. Amara leaned over, her head resting on my shoulder."Ang ganda rito," she whispered. "I can see why you love it so much." Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi nito, at kinindatan ko lamang siya.We drove p
Shattered Vows Chapter 18
AmaraI stayed at the mansion with my daughter Ayala, who was sleeping so peacefully. Her tiny body curled up under the soft blankets, completely relaxed after the long journey. Rafael and Yuan had gone out to explore, leaving the house in a gentle, serene quiet.Settling into a cozy armchair, I opened my book and let myself get lost in its pages. The silence was comforting, a rare moment of calm.Mabuti na rin na pumayag akong pumunta rito. Napakaganda ng lugar na ito, malayong malayo sa kinalakihan kong lugar. Kung sa lugar na nakasanayan ko ay halos malalaking building ang makikita, dito naman ay konti lang. Wala masyadong malalaking gusali.Noong nalaman ko kay Rafael na Capiz ang probinsya nito, ayoko na tumuloy. Ngunit pumayag nalang ako, kaysa bawiin yung sinabi ko.Naalala ko ang mga nangyari dati, hindi naman na dapat pang inaalala. Ang sinabi dati ng mama ni Javier na nandito sila ni Tiana, nag babakasyon habang ako ay naiwang mag isa. Matagal nang tapos iyon. Kaya mas mabut
