Sunshine In The Rain 48 - Pain
“Nope. She’s fine, Nika. Vien is fine, safe and sound.” Halos mapatumba ako sa sahig nang marinig kong ligtas si Vien. My baby’s safe. Okay na ako nang malaman kong ligtas si Vien.Ramdam ko namang inalalayan ako ni Harvin. Pero kaagad ko ring inilibot ang tingin ko sa paligid nang unti-unti nang lumalapit ang mga Sierra sa amin, ngunit hindi ko nakita si Eros at Elio.“Si... Si Elio? Where is he? Nasaan ang asawa ko? Wala namang nangyaring masama kay Elio, hindi ba?” sunod-sunod kong tanong. Sobrang basa na ng kamay ko dahil sa kaba at takot. Nanlalambot na rin ang mga tuhod ko kung hindi lang ako inaalalayan ni Harvin at ni Ate Lily, paniguradong nasa sahig na ako ngayon.Nagkatinginan sila Kuya Errol at Kuya Reid, huminga naman ng malalim si Kuya Emman tsaka lumakad naman papasok si Kuya Ezekiel kasama si Kuya Ravi para tabihan ang mga asawa nito. Anong nangyayari?Kaagad na nagsialisan na ang mga sasakyan para iparada iyon sa parking lot, pero hindi ko pa rin nakikita si Elio.“

ELIO BLAZIEL SIERRA I stared at Nika, who had been unconsciously looking at the window. She’s been like that for days, pero gumagalaw naman ito para asikasuhin kami ni Vlad at mga pamangkin niya. Hindi din ito kumakain ng maayos, kaya nag-aalala ako. It’s like she’s here, but her mind is somewhere else, lost in all the pain and worry. And as much as I wanted to reach out, to help her, I didn’t know how. Pero mas lalo akong nag-aalala sa kanya nang hindi ko man lang ito nakitang umiyak, at pagluksahan ang pagkawala ng anak namin. I didn’t know she could be this strong. Stronger than me, even. Or maybe she’s just pretending to be strong—for me, for Vien, for Vlad, and for Harvin, Haven and Harry. I admire her. I admire every fiber of her being, her resilience, her courage in the face of everything we’re going through. She’s the rock holding us all together, and I’m in awe of her strength. “They took Vien for ransom, Elio.” Eros said as he walking towards me holding his phone. Na p

VERONIKKA ELYSE LAURIER I heaved a sigh as soon as the rain poured down on us. Tag-ulan na naman at eto ang pinakaayaw ko sa lahat. Aside sa nakakalimutan kong magdala ng payong, ay may naaalala ako. Hindi naman sa pinakaayaw, ang dami lang naganap nang gabing iyon na hirap parin akong paniwalaan iyon. My ex-boyfriend cheated on me while my mom was on the verge of dying. We broke up under the heavy rain, both soaking wet, and my heart was torn into pieces. Basag na basag ako nang mga oras na iyon. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin. Akala ko ang taong mahal ko ay siyang magbibigay ng saya na siyang nag-aalis ng mapait kong nakaraan. Even though he knew my past experiences, my pain, my sufferings, he still chose to cheat on me. Ang lala lang kasi sa limang taon kayong nagsama, hinayaan kong lokohin niya ako, padamahin na mahal niya ako, at ako lang wala nang iba. I was overwhelmed with frustration, questioning why everything had happened to me. I found myself in tears, standing at the ed

Vien was deeply engrossed in playing with her dollhouse, arranging miniature furniture and dolls with meticulous care. She eagerly beckoned Vlad to join her, despite his initial reluctance. "C-come on, V-Vlad! It's fun," she urged, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Vlad hesitated, eying the dollhouse skeptically. "But Vien, this is for girls," he protested, crossing his arms.Vien frowned slightly, her brow furrowing in determination. "I-It's okay, Vlad. L-Let's just play together," she said still stuttering but trying to speak.After a moment of consideration, Vlad relented with a small sigh, realizing how important this was to Vien. As they started playing, Vien's infectious laughter filled the room, temporarily lifting the weight of their challenging circumstances."Tha-that's n-not h-how to do it, V-Vlad." I observed gently as I watched Vien patiently guide her brother through assembling the dollhouse."You're really good at it, Vien." Komento ko. Sumilay sa kanyang mukha ang sa

VERONIKKA ELYSE LAURIERKaagad akong napaupo sa gilid ni Sir Elio at kinuha ang phone ko to check on him. Napapoker-face nalang ako nang makitang tulog na siya. Humihilik pa. This guy is unbelievable!After what happened earlier, tutulungan lang ako?! Wait—what do you expect, Nika? A sex after the kiss?! Nakakahiya ka!I called Manong Jules to help me carry Sir Elio to his bed. Nang makasiguradong maayos na itong nakahiga ay chineck ko narin siya kung ayos lang ba siya. Mukhang ayos naman. Lasing lang.I called Doc Yasmir to ask something."Yow! This is Hira, Nika. Whatsup?" Napatawa ako dahil sa inakto ni Doc Hira. Para lang siyang bagets kung makipag-usap kaya mahal na mahal siya ng lahat kasama na si Doc Yasmir."Doc! Ano kasi," napatingin ako kay Sir Elio na mahimbing na natutulog."Si Sir Elio po kasi..." nagdadalawang-isip kung sasabihin ko ba."Com'on, Nika. Time is running and you know how much time is so-so-so precious to us. So, spill it.""He kissed me." I bluntly said. Nak

VERONIKKA ELYSE LAURIER Ilang minuto akong nakatitig kay sa kanya nang bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto niya. Sabay kaming napatingin ni Sir Elio doon at nakita namin ang nakangising si Ate Tri. "Ang tagal niyo, akala ko gumagawa na kayo ng milagro!" "Ate Tri/Tri!" We said in unison. Ramdam ko ata ang pamumula ng pisngi ko sa sinabi ni Ate Tri. "What? You're both adults!" Ate Tri said mischievously. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng kakaiba nang ramdam kong biglang lumamig at nang mapatingin ako kay Sir Elio, malamig na itong nakatitig. Feel ko sobrang dilim na ng aura niya. "Demetria." Tawag sa kanya ni Sir Elio. Bigla namang nagsitaasan ang buhok ko sa katawan ng tawagin si Ate Tri sa kanyang buong pangalan, aside, it was too deep, too cold, sobrang nakakatakot din na halos manginig na ang buo kong katawan dahil sa boses niyang iyon. "Com'on, Elio. Your kids are waiting for you," malumanay na sabi ni Ate Tri. Nakangiti siya na para bang hindi natatakot kay Sir Elio. Maybe she's used t

ELIO BLAZIEL SIERRAI was frantically pacing back and forth as Nics was inside the bathroom, testing the pregnancy test. She'd been showing signs of pregnancy, so I bought a test just to be sure.I was too afraid, knowing that my Veronica shouldn't bear a child. Yet we did that, with such caution.We've been married for two years now, and we both wanted to have a child. I was afraid. But my Veronica wants to have a baby, and we'll be focused on her health as soon as she gets pregnant.The seconds felt like hours as I waited, my mind racing with worry and hope. I heard the bathroom door creak open and turned to see Nics stepping out, the pregnancy test in her hand. Her eyes met mine, filled with a mixture of fear and anticipation.She took a deep breath and held up the test. "It's positive," she said softly, her voice trembling.A rush of emotions overwhelmed me—joy, fear, excitement, and anxiety all at once. I crossed the room in a few strides and wrapped my arms around her, pulling h

VERONIKKA ELYSE LAURIERI woke up early to do my morning exercise and yoga. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden glow through the windows. I grabbed my yoga mat and headed to the exercise room, eager to start my routine and clear my mind.As I entered the room, I froze, my eyes widening in surprise. There, in the center of the room, was Sir Elio, running on the treadmill. He was topless, his muscular chest glistening with sweat, and he was wearing only a pair of loose workout pants. The rhythmic sound of his feet hitting the treadmill's surface echoed in the room.I stood there for a moment, unable to look away. His intense focus and determination were palpable, and the sight of him in such a raw and unguarded state took my breath away. He hadn't noticed me yet, so I quietly unrolled my yoga mat in a corner, trying to compose myself.As I stretched and started my yoga poses, I couldn't help but steal glances at him. His movements were fluid and powerful, with each

Sunshine In The Rain 47 - Safe & Sound
VERONIKKA ELYSE LAURIERI stared unconsciously at the window. The pain... The hurt... The lose of my unborn child... Vienna’s missing... Elio’s got hurt... I got hurt... Harvin and Haven got hurt emotionally... Why? Bakit kailangan namin pagdaanan ang lahat ng ito?Paano... Paano ko tatanggapin ang lahat ng iyon? Ang hirap. Ang hirap dahil ako ang puno’t dulo ng lahat ng mga nangyayari sa pamilya ni Elio.My brother... Kidnapped Vien... His own blood... How... How can he do that? How could he kill his unborn nephew or niece that easily? How could he do that to me? Pagkatapos kong ibigay ang lahat sa kanya? Pagkatapos kong magpakatanga para sa mga luho niya at ng asawa niya, ganito ang ibabalik nila sa akin? How could they? What did I do wrong to be treated this bad? Fvk. Pagod na ako sa buhay ko. Akala ko magiging masaya na ako sa piling ni Elio dahil pinasaya niya naman ako ng tunay at minahal ng labis... Bakit... Bakit sa tuwing masayang-masaya na ako ay doon lang kukunin ng diyos
Sunshine In The Rain 46 - Missing
ELIO BLAZIEL SIERRAI woke up when I heard a loud siren. Pagdilat ko, nakaramdam naman ako ng pananakit ng katawan, but I eventually came back to my senses when I realized that my wife and my daughter is with me.Pero pagtingin ko sa likuran ko ay wala na si Vienna. I panicked.“One... Two... Three!” I heard the rescuers counting before trying to pry open the door where we were trapped. Naririnig ko ang lakas ng pagtulak at paghila nila, pero tila nahihirapan sila. The door creaked, but it wouldn’t budge right away. Kung nahihirapan silang buksan iyon, where’s my daughter? Where’s my Vienna?!“Vien...” my voice cracked as I whispered her name, the fear growing more intense. I didn’t want to believe the worst, but the uncertainty was tearing me apart.Napapikit ako nang mariin nang biglang sumakit ang tagiliran ko. It was sharp, and I couldn't ignore it any longer. I looked down, and there it was—isang malalim na sugat sa tagiliran ko, halos walang tigil iyon sa pagtulo.“Shit...” I m
Sunshine In The Rain 45 - Tragedy
“Kids! Time to eat!” sigaw ko mula sa kusina at tinawag ang kambal maging ang mga pamangkin ko. Nakita ko namang pumasok si Elio sa kusina, buhat ang dalawang bata. Si Vien na nasa likod ng leeg nito, nakasakay. Habang ginagawa namang dumbbells ni Elio si Vlad. Natawa ako dahil tuwang-tuwa ang mga bata sa ginawa ni Elio. He’s wearing a tank top, and a gray checked pajamas. Kakagising lang. “Good morning, wife,” bati ni Elio nang makalapit ito sa akin, tsaka ako niyakap mula sa likod ko pagtapos niyang ibaba si Vlad at Vienna sa mga upuan nito. Kinilig naman ako sa pagtawag nito ng Wife sa akin. Kasi this time, I’m now his officially wife, at mas nakakakilig iyon. “Good morning, hubby,” I replied with a brimming smile. “Ako na d’yan, kumain ka na,” kaagad na kinuha ni Elio ang sandok na hawak ko at siya na nagsalin ng niluto kong sunny side up eggs sa mga plato. May mga katulong din naman kami, pero mas gusto ko pa rin na ako na naka-focus sa mga kakainin ng buo kong pamil
Sunshine In The Rain 44 - The Wedding
Four days before Christmas, we headed to London, riding on their private planes. Ang iilang mga pinsan ni Elio ay nauna nang bumiyahe papuntang London, at may mga nahuhuli din, tulad namin. Matagal kasing natapos ang exam nila Harvin kaya nahuli kami. Gusto sanang magpaiwan ni Harvin, pero hindi ako pumayag. This is our family trip together with Monica, Harry, and Haven kasama din ang boyfriend ni Haven na si Daniel. Our first international trip together. Hindi pwedeng hindi siya sasama. Hindi naman makakasama sila Mama at Tita Ali dahil sa may sakit si mama, pero binisita namin sila kahapon dala ang mga regalo para sa kanila.Nakarating kami ng London matapos ang mahabang biyahe, at ako naman ay laging nasusuka dahil sa pagkahilo at alog ng eroplano. Nag-aalala naman sa akin si Elio, kaya wala itong halos pahinga para lang bantayan ako at ang mga bata.Napanganga kami nang may limousine na huminto sa tapat namin. Tumawa naman si Elio dahil sa mga reaksyon namin. Literal kaming lahat
Sunshine In The Rain 43 - Birthday
Monica didn't want to come with us to Elio's mansion. Mas gusto niya makasama si mama, kaya dinala namin si Monica roon. Mas kakailanganin niya ng pagmamahal ng isang ina. Nandoon rin naman si Tita Ali na kayang bantayan si Mon. Elio hired a private nurse for mama in case na hindi maalagaan ni Tita kung may mangyaring masama kay Mon. Nag-aalala ako. Monica is not in her right state. We found out that she's been abused by her boyfriend, and the gunshots I heard were from her. Hindi niya kayang isalaysay ang buong pangyayari. She's been too traumatized by her abusive boyfriend and the loss of her child. Kaya pinatingin din namin si Monica sa psychiatrist to help her cure. But as days go by, ilang beses nang nag-commit ng suicide si Monica. Na siyang naaagapan din kaagad ni Tita Ali dahil lagi itong nakabantay sa kanya. May nurse din naman sa bahay kaya mas lalong naagapan iyon. What makes me concerned about is our mother. She's stressing herself over Monica. Natatakot si mama na ba
Sunshine In The Rain 42 - Angel
Kaagad akong napabalik sa sasakyan ko para kunin ang medkit ko. Naghanap narin ako ng telang malinis para maibalot ang bata at malinisan kahit papaano si Monica. At nang makuha ko na lahat ng kakailanganin—except sa tubig dahil ang mga gripo dito ay hindi tumutulo.I did everything I could to save them both. Sht. Hindi ko lubos maisip ang pinagdaanan ni Monica habang naghihinalo ito para lang maipanganak ang kanyang sanggol.Kung nanganganak siya? Ano 'yong narinig kong tunog ng baril? Or am I hallucinating?“Sandali nalang, Monica...”Mas binilisan ko ang pag-aasikaso sa bata at sa kanya. The baby’s pulse is weak, and so is Monica’s pulse. Hirap na hirap akong akayin si Monica habang bitbit ang bata.Sobrang nag-aalala ako sa kalagayan nilang dalawa. Hindi ko alam kung makakaligtas ba sila, but I will do everything to save my sister and my niece.Nang makarating kami sa sasakyan ay inilapag ko muna ang bata sa passenger’s seat, habang si Monica naman ay mabilis kong ipinasok sa loob

VERONIKKA ELYSE LAURIER“And they lived happily after,” I read the last part of the Little Mermaid story.Funny that these kinds of books still exist in our year. Kids are totally enjoying these books, especially Vien, who keeps me asking to read the same book again and again“Mommy, does a happy ending really exist?” Vienna asked while squishing her eyes. Kaagad kong kinuha ang kamay niya dahil nakakasama sa mata ang pagkusot rito.“What do you think?” I asked the little girl instead.Vienna pouted. Cute. I gently pinched her cheek, and she only giggled. “For me, it is, mommy. I want a happy ending for you and Daddy! I really wanted you to be our real mom,” she happily said, despite the drowsiness she felt.“Your mom will be lonely if she hears that from you, Vien,” I gently said while caressing her hair.Napayakap naman ito sa bewang ko at isiniksik ang ulo sa akin. Vlad is already sleeping; he's tired from playing all day; napakakulit kahit na may sakit sa puso.“She’s not here with
