[Enna's POV]
"Selena! Eh Janno Gibbs mo na ang Anda Lucia nitong si Enna. Mamaya mahuli pa ito ng hubby niya malagot din tayo. Ayokong ma bad shot dun," lumapit si Shakira sa counter kung saan nakatayo si Selena. Selena was counting money.
"Oo na oo na. Sandali lang, bakla!" Selena flipped his green bangs at binalingan ako. "Ito na ang kita mo today, Enna."
"Thank you!" I smiled and took the two hundred and thirty pesos. Sobrang sakit ng neck ko kasi marami rin akong customer at pagod rin yung hands ko pero I'm happy kasi may pandagdag na naman ako para sa ring namin ni Mikho.
"Sige na ganda. Pwede kanang chumurva. Ipagluto
[Enna's POV]NAGULATako nang may nag-park na dalawang heavily tinted na mercedes SUVs sa front ng apartment namin. I looked at my hubby. He was sweating at hindi siya mapakali. Ayaw naman niyang sabihin sa'kin kung bakit. Ayaw nga niya akong pababain but I insisted.Hmmp!This doesn't look like one of Papa's vehicles.Who are these people?"Mikho..."Kumapit ako sa kanya. Biglang sabay sabay na bumukas yung doors ng SUVs. I almost dropped my jaw when I saw the guys who went down from the first vehicle.Geee!They were all unbelievably gorgeous gorgeous men! They stood motionless in front of us. Blangko ang muk
[Mikho's POV]"Enna..."I rammed into her hard while my eyes were fixed into her beautiful face, her little beguiling eyes lethargic as they gazed back at me. God, but my Enna looks so perfect that it hurts to look at sometimes."M-mikho..."she whined, gripping her little hands tightly around my neck."K-kaya mo pa ba, p-palangga?"I worriedly asked with my labored breath. She was panting, her breathing shallow, and barely moving on top of me."I'm tired...but okay lang kasi I'm about to come na... pero p-romise me last mo na 'to ngayon ha...? Pagod na kami ni baby..."she pouted.Tumango ak
[Enna's POV] "P-papa..."Nanginginig kong sabi ng tuluyan na akong makapasok sa living area namin. Papa was standing at the middle of the grand foyer kasama si Mama at si Ate. Walang emosyon ang mga mukha nila habang nakatingin sa'kin. Ever since I was a baby girl, I have never once remembered that my own mother was warm to me, or my older sister. No matter how hard I tried to reach out to them, they were civil towards me at ang tangi ko lang nakakausap ay ang yaya ko. I was so lucky that I was raised by my sweet Yaya. But sadly, umuwi si Yaya sa province nila when I turned twelve. Papa was always busy and it was so seldom na nakakausap at nakikita ko siya dito sa bahay. I have nothing to do and I felt like an outcast in the family. I was just so glad na dumating si Mikey. Since then nagkakulay y
[Enna's POV]"Open the door, Adrienna!"sigaw ni Papa mula sa labas but I didn't move."Ayoko! Ibalik niyo ako kay Mikho! Hindi ako magpapakasal kay Ahston!"I shouted at napahagulhol na naman ako.I locked the door from the inside kaya hindi sila makapasok. I could hardly move dahil nanginginig parin ang katawan ko. Sobra akong natatakot sa ginawa nila kay Mikho. My eyes were swelling since last night at hindi na ako naka-sleep. I attempted to escape pero I can't open the door to my balcony. I can't break the glass of my windows. I can't even find my old cellphones. And there were no keys to any of my storage. Parang plinano na talaga nila ito. Ang bad bad nila! Kung alam ko lang na ganito ang gagawin nila sa'kin sana hindi ko nal
[Mikho's POV]"BAWAL po ang dalaw sa kanya, Ma'am. Iyon po ang bilin sa amin. Malalagot po ako 'pag nalaman nila na pinalabas ko siya,"sagot ng jail guard matapos makiusap ni Tita France na gusto niya akong makausap. She came in with Shakira, who was also negotiating the guard to let me go. I don't know how they'd found out that I was here. Sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko pero kahit pa'no ay nagpapasalamat akong nandito sila."Sige naman po, Sir. Kilala po namin siya. Yung mukha bang iyan ang adik at rapist? Eh mas mukha pa nga po kayong kriminal kesa sa kanya!"Shakira scowled at the jail guard."Shakira ano ba!"Saway ni Tita."Sir, nakikiusap po kami. Narito lang naman kami para dalawin si Mikh
[ Enna's POV]IMADEup an excuse kay Kuya Jaguar na may kukunin lang ako dito sa kwarto. Good thing, pinatawag siya ni Mama sa baba. My family's downstairs at ganoon dinsi Ashton na abala sa pakikipag usap sa mga bisita. Hinanap ko sa cupboard ng bathroom ko yung mga nakatagong mga emergency medicines at agad ko namang nakita yung hinahanap kong sodium bicarbonate. Mikey taught me how to use it before sa drama club na sinalihan ko.I stirred the pill with a little water hanggang sa naging foamy ito. Then I brought it with me palabas. I knew anytime Ate will call me dahil magsisimula na ang engagement kaya kailangan ko na itong inumin. I went through the right wing again, careful na hindi nila ako makita at pumasok sa isa sa mga guest room's
[Enna's POV]"I m-miss you so much ..."sabi ko at mas lalo akong napahagulhol."I miss you so much too, palangga. You just don't know how much... "he whispered as he tried to calm himself from crying. Napahikbing kinagat ko naman ang labi ko kasi baka marinig ako ni Ashton."Listen palangga, nandito ako sa likod ng bahay niyo ngayon malapit sa basement. Hindi ako makapunta sa gilid ng bahay dahil maliwanag ang ilaw. Makakalabas ka ba ng bahay niyo papunta dito sa basement?""M-mikho paanong--""Ssssh, I'll tell you everything later. We don't have so much time. Can you do that for me, palangga? "
[Enna'sPOV]"Palangga? Hindi ka pa ba tapos?"Mikho was worriedly knocking the bathroom door pero hindi pa kasi ako tapos. I want to get rid of Ashton's touch. Bakit hindi sila matanggal? Kanina pa ako nag i-scrub pero ayaw matanggal.My tear fell habang kinuskos ko ng kinuskos ang balat ko until there were already scratches in my skin. I can't do it with Mikho. Bakit hindi ko kaya?"Enna?!"Napaatras ako ng bigla bumungad si Mikho sa harap ko. I was naked kaya tinakpan ko ang katawan ko. I can't even looked at him in the eyes."Palangga, ako ito,"he said when I tried to hug my own b
[Enna's POV]"Papa!"gulat at sabay sabay na sabi ng mga anak namin. Mikho came in with a bouquet of flower in his hand at may bitbit din siyang cake. Excited na nagtatakbo naman si Natsu sa Papa nito, sa likod nito si Meme na agad ding napatayo para salubungin ang Papa niya."Papa!"si Natsu na nagtatalon pa. He must have missed his Papa so much. Kinuha naman ni Meme ang cake sa kamay ng Papa niya saka ito nagmano at humalik sa pisngi ni Mikho. Inabot ni Mikho si Natsu at kinarga na tuwang tuwang ding nagmano. Sunod sunod nang pumila ang mga anak namin para magmano at humalik. I was surprised yet hindi ko mapigilan ang matawa. Ganito kasi lagi ang tagpo kapag ka nandiyan ang Papa nila, para silang pumipila para mag flag ceremony. Ganyan sila ka pormal pagdating sa Papa nila.
[Enna's POV]I couldn't swallow dahil sa sikip ng dibdib at lalamunan ko. I had been staring at the book for a very long time now.Ang bad bad niya! How could he make me so frustrated and so happy at the same time? Nakahiga parin ako sa bed because my body was literally weak dahil sa mix of emotion. I still don't understand what was happening, I felt like I just woke up from a dream. And bigla nalang sumulpot si Ate Cassie at kasama pa si Lizzie!"I swear I don't know about this Enna. Hindi ko din alam kung papa'no niyang nalaman ang mga suppliers natin. Wala akong choice kundi aminin sa kanya ang plano natin nung araw na nagsusukat tayo ng gown because he already knew na pala everything before hand hindi lang niya ini exp
[Enna's POV]"Basta pupunta po kayo 6PM bukas Tita ha? Pakisabi nalang din po kay Shakira. Bye po ingat!"I dropped the call at sumunod sa hubby ko sa meat section.I invited our closest friends para sa birthday ni Mikho bukas and now were doing the groceries. He just want an intimate dinner tomorrow. Ito na kasi talaga ang nakasanayan niya tuwing birthday niya. It's also a way of our family bonding kasi magluluto kami with the family. I know they have the entire hotel para maghanda sa kanya pero you know my hubby. Hindi naman siya ganun. Simpleng tao lang siya. And I'm super duper excited na on Monday, a day after his birthday for our big day! Mukhang clueless naman ang hubby ko kaya I did not worry na."Adrienna?"
[Enna's POV]From: AteCassieThe dresses are already here for fit. Saan na ba kayo? Please don't let Mikho come over here. Baka 'pag nakita siya ni Sari hindi na 'yan paalisin.Me:Kakaalis lang namin sa hospital, Ate. I stayed after Papa's dialysis kasi may diniscussed lang iyong endocrinologist niya after. Ten minutes diyan na kami.I replied to Ate Cassie while my hubby was talking to me."Enna are you listening to me? Kanina ka pa naka hawak diyan sa cellphone mo,"parang naiirita niyang untag sa'kin.
[ Enna's POV]" JUST like what happened sa amin ni Mikho. Hindi naman naging madali para sa'kin na tanggapin ang lahat ng nangyari sa buhay namin. I know darating din ang time na magiging okay kami ni Ate. Ang importante I get to spend time with Papa until his last days and okay narin kami ni Mama. Nagkausap na kami tungkol sa nangyari noon at sinabi niya sa'kin ang totoo. That she tried to accept me kahit bunga ako ng sekretong relasyon ni Papa sa iba. Though cold siya sa 'kin wala din naman siyang ginawa para saktan ako. At ngayon alam ko na ang totoo, it was more than enough for me. At kahit anupang gawin ko, pamilya ko parin sila."I smiled habang nagkikwento ako kay Ate Cassie.Few days ago, sinamahan rin ako ng hubby ko na dalawin ang puntod ng totoo kong ina. A part of me wanted to see her.
[Enna's POV]" PALANGGA, natatakot ako. Maybe they will do the same thing again kagaya ng ginawa nila noon. Bakamadamayang mga kids,"I breathed out while Mikho was squeezing my trembling hand. It wasn't easy to ignore the trauma that my family had left sa puso at isip ko. Kapag nakikita ko itong bahay, lahat ng mga masasakit na pagpapahirap nila sa'min ni Mikho ang naiisip ko. Natatakot akong baka mangyari muli iyon. I know na ini-expect na ni Papa na nandito kami. I just pray and hope na sana maging okay ang lahat. Sa totoo lang, mas nangingibabaw parin iyong takot ko kaysa sa pag-aalala ko sa kalagayan ni Papa. Mabuti nalang at behave lang ang mga kids na sinabihan na ni Mikho na dadalawin namin ang lolo nila. Sana lang hindi nila maranasan na mapagtabuyan or ang hindi ma welcome ng family ko. They we
[Enna's POV]HINDIako makatulog at hindi ako mapakali. Hindi ko naiintindihan ang nararamdaman ko. I promise may hubby na titigilan ko na'ng mag smoke pero I think I need this now to wear off my tension.After my two sticks, na hiningi ko sa guard sa baba, I decided na pumasok na ulit sa suit namin. Sana hindi naramdaman ni Mikho na nawala ako sa tabi niya. He can easily feel pa naman.I carefully sneaked inside the main door pero nagulat ako ng ang mukha agad ng hubby ko ang nabungaran ko. He had just woken up but he looked angry already."You've been smoking again, Enna,"he said rigidly na parang alam talaga niya ang sinabi niya at madilim akong tiningnan. Hindi ko alam
[Mikho's POV]"Are you okay, palangga?"I held Enna's hand tighly when we entered the hotel, looking at her eyes earnestly. This is one of the ways that I wanted to do to show her how much I love her. Sobrang mahal ko siya kaya kahit mahirap gagawin ko ito hindi lang para sa sarili kundi para sa kanya.Karga ko si Yuri habang bibit niya ang natutulog nang prinsesa namin. Sari had been too bubbly and energetic since the flight kaya maaga itong nakatulog."I'm okay. Huwag kang masyadong mag worry, okay?"she squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile.I was happy that she's trying so hard to reach out to our kids and she was trying so hard to look even stronger. Nag aalal
[Enna's POV]"You're a greedy greedy old man. Don't you know that?"sabi ko habang binubutones ang white polo shirt ng hubby ko. He looks a hundred times hotter with his clean-shaven face. I shaved his face and para tigilan na niya ako sa pangungulit, I did something para matuwa siya because he can't take me since I'm still very sore. Sobrang hapdi pa kaya and I know I more than made him happy by doing that."Do I look like an old man to you?"nakakunot ang noo niyang tanong. He was taking it seriously.I bit my bottom lip para pigilan ang tawa ko. I combed my fingers through his wet hair. Gosh, he doesn't know how gorgeous he looks with his age. Even without his effort ang dami dami ko paring kaagaw sa kanya.
