I visited my employees who's sewing the clothes that we will use at the fashion show. I'm making sure that the fabric and thread they will use are high quality.
All people here are buckling down on their priorities, the fashion show is already next week. It will be held in Paris, that's why ang dami ko pa talagang dapat asikasuhin. YSABELLA should stand out.Sampung designs ang napili ko, ten models kasi ang required sa fashion show. My models will represent ball gown, silk dresses, evening gown, cocktail dresses, and mermaid gown. Kilalang kilala talaga ang YSABELLA sa mga unique and high quality gowns and dresses.Habang nagsu-supervise sa mga staffs ko na nagtatahi ay kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at tinawagan ang casting director ko na si Mia. “Good afternoon, Ms. Ynna” bungad pagbati niya sa akin.“Good afternoon, how's our models?” tanong ko, sinisigurado ko ring nasa mabuti silang kondisyon bago ang fashion show.“They are doing good Ms. In fact, our scouts are practicing them now.” Rinig ko rin sa background niya ang scouts na nagsasalita.“How about their papers?” I am asking sa papeles ng mga models papunta sa Paris.“Naayos na rin po Ms.” after no'n ay nagpaalam na rin ako sa kaniya at pinatay ang tawag.I feel so exhausted, drained, and pressured. Ito rin kasi ang pinakamalaking fashion show na dadaluhan ng YSABELLA. All big companies in the clothing industry will be there, I'm sure naroon din ang pugong iyon.“You look so stressed, do you want some coffee?” I looked at Maureen who's walking beside me. Umupo ako sa swivel chair ko at dumukdok. “Yes, broad coffee and less sugar, please."After a few minutes ay inilapag n'ya sa table ko ang mainit na broad coffee. Kumuha rin siya ng upuan at umupo sa tabi ko. “You're stressing yourself too much Ynna,” she commented with full of concern tone of voice.“I was swamped, this is the first ever biggest fashion show that the YSABELLA will attend to so...” I sighed and humigop ng mainit na kape.“But you don't need to be that pressured. Chill okay? I am talking to you as your concerned best friend not as your secretary. You are doing good, trust me we will rock this fashion show.” Humawak siya sa kamay ko na nakapagpakalma sa akin. It gives me a lot of comfort.I mouthed, “thank you” and smiled at her. I am really thankful to have this person in my life. Maureen is also the one who stayed by my side when my parents died.“Are there any appointments or errands for today?” I asked.“Well, nothing much since pina clear mo ang week na ito to focus on the preparation. Tomorrow, you need to get your personalized gown from your personal tailor.”Nagpa-customized din kasi ako ng design for my gown that I will wear for the fashion show. It should be elegant, dagdag akit din kasi ng investors kung mags-stand out ang YSABELLA sa fashion show. It will give us more opportunities and who knows? Baka lalo pang dumami ang branch namin sa ibang bansa.YSABELLA have thirty branches on the Philippines and more than fifty branches worldwide. Napalago ko kasi ang clothing business namin dahil na rin sa mga turo sa akin ng mga business teachers na ini-hire ni auntie Lauren.Hapon na rin nang makauwi ako, wala roon si auntie Lauren ngunit may iniwan siyang note sa lamesa na nagluto raw siya at nakalagay ito sa ref. Mamaya ko nalang siguro ito kakainin.Pumanhik ako sa kwarto at nag-ayos, pagkatapos ay nahiga ako sa aking kama. Naisipan ko munang magbukas ng social media saglit. Pagbukas ko ng I*******m ay dumaan sa newsfeed ko ang post ni Pogo, nagcomment din kasi ang ilan sa mga naka follow sa akin.Isa itong picture niya na nakasakay sa yate habang may caption na “Luxurious. Not a cheapie.” Napataas naman ang kilay ko, halata naman kung sino ang piparinggan niya sa cheapie na iyon.While scrolling in the comment section, naisipan ko mag-post ng bago kong biling Dior bag na gagamitin ko sa fashion show. Nilagyan ko ito ng caption na 'Ready!'Ilang saglit pa ay biglang nag-notif sa akin na ini-mention ako sa new post ni Pogo. Nag-post siya ng Domenico Vacca Travel Bag with a caption na 'worth $58,000. How 'bout yours?.'Ilang netizens ang nagme-mention sa akin, asking if ako raw ba ang pinaparinggan ng lalaking iyon. Hindi ko nalang ito pinansin at pinatay ang phone ko. Minsan hindi ko rin maintindihan ang sarili ko kung bakit ko nga ba pinapatulan ang isip bata na iyon?My phone rang, tumatawag sa akin ni Maureen na agad ko namang sinagot. “Girl! Ang Mr. Pogi mo pinaparinggan ka yata sa social media!”I rolled my eyes. “Hayaan mo, bwisit 'yan eh.”“Omg, what if kayo talaga? What if matuloy yung---”I cut her off, “Anong kami? Anong matuloy? Tigil ka nga Mau, buryong-buryo na ako sa lalaking 'yan. My gosh, lahat nalang ginagawang kompetisyon.”I can hear her cackles on the other line. Tuwang-tuwa talaga siya kapag nagsasalpukan kami ng lalaking iyon. Simula talaga noong umangat at naging matunog ang YSABELLA ay lagi na siyang nakikipag kumpetensya sa akin. Parang takot malamangan, obvious naman.I ended our call dahil sa sobrang inis. Umayos na ako ng higa at pumikit. I still have some errands tomorrow.WHEN I woke up, I prepared myself to be all set. I woke up at 11am, I don't have office works today because I am having my good rest for next week; however, I still need to pick up my gown on my personal tailor.Exactly 1 in the afternoon I arrived at my college classmate's boutique. I also hired her to be my personal tailor, we both graduated in Bachelor of Fashion Design.“Ynna, you're here! Wait, I'll get your gown. It's already done.” She is Althea, one of my college close classmates before. Kinuha niya ang gown ko at iniabot sa akin. “Go, try it on!”It's a golden mermaid gown with white fur coat as its partner. It is actually one of the exclusive designs of YSABELLA. Pumasok ako sa fitting room at isinukat ito.It fits on my body so well, I love how golden it is. Bagay ito sa maputing balat ko, umikot-ikot pa ako. Maganda rin ang pagkakakinang ng maliliit na dyamante rito.Lumabas ako ng fitting room. “What do you think?” tanong ko sa kaniya. I know that it looks good on me but hearing compliments boost my confidence so much. “O.m.g! You look gorgeous, I mean you're always gorgeous. But that gown makes you more stunning!'' She has always been this hyper since then, wala pa ring pagbabago.I already paid for that gown, so after some chitchats I went home to rest early. Hindi muna ako bibisita sa kumpanya ngayon, I let Maureen to handle things since hindi naman siya sasama sa Paris.Pag-uwi ko ay hindi ko muling naabutan sa bahay si Auntie Lauren, pansin ko rin na lagi siyang busy this past few days. Minsan naman ay busy siyang may kausap sa phone. She's already retired naman na, hindi ko alam ang pinagkakaabalahan niya but I let her do whatever makes her happy. She deserves it anyways.TIME flies so fast, ilang araw na ako rito sa Paris and today is the day. Tanghali palang ay nagdatingan na ang mga stylist ko.“Good afternoon ma'am, let's start?” tumango lamang ako sa make-up artist. I don't have any social battery right now, sine-save ko ito para mamayang gabi.While they're doing my hair and make-up ay nags-scroll scroll ako sa I*******m. Hindi naman ako naka follow sa pogong ito pero daan nang daan sa news feed ko. I cock a brow when I saw his post.“High-class." ang nakalagay sa caption niya. He is wearing a black tuxedo. Habang kine-curl nila ang buhok ko ay biglang nagsalita ang Parisian na nag-aayos sa akin.“M. Thymoteo est si beau. j'espère avoir un copain comme lui(Mr. Thymoteo looks so handsome. I hope I have a boyfriend like him).” Napasamid naman ako sa sinabi niya, kausap niya yata ang nag m-make up sa akin.“Arrête de te faire des illusions. ce genre d'homme a un haut niveau(Stop being delusional. That kind of man has a high standard .”Gusto kong matawa sa kanilang dalawa pero hinayaan ko nalang. Few hours have passed ay natapos na rin. Isinuot ko na ang gown at jewelries ko. I am nervous to be honest.May sumundo sa akin, sumakay ako sa isang limousine. Pagbaba ko palang ay marami na agad camera ang nakatutok sa akin. Ngiti at kaway ang paulit-ulit kong ginagawa. Naglakad ako sa red carpet at huminto saglit para sa picture. Karamihan dito ay may partner but I chose not to have one.“Ms. Cynnamon, we're glad to have you here,” pagbati sa akin ng isa sa mga naga-assist. Inalalayan niya ako papunta sa assigned seat ko.“Can we take a picture?” tanong sa akin ng babaeng foreigner na katabi ko. “Sure!" Ngumiti naman ako sa camera. Pansin ko na suot niya ang isa sa gown collection ng YSABELLA. We also have a branch here in France.All lights went off. “Bonsoir mesdames et messieurs!(good evening ladies and gentlemen!)” Isang lalaki ang lumabas sa stage at bumati sa akin. “I am your host, Gabriel François. Tonight, we will witness the different cloth collections and designs of the well-known clothing companies all over the world!”Nagpalakpakan lahat, unang ipinakilala ang collections and design ng DIOR since they're the one who is managing this fashion show. Dior models ang mga naunang rumampa, I can't help but to be mesmerized on Dior's designs. All looks unique and elegant.Sumunod naman ang JEREMÍE na pag-aari ng isang Italian business owner. Their theme is very colorful, I can say na they also have unique ideas for their collections. Sunod-sunod din lumabas ang mga model ng iba't iba pang kumpanya.Inilibot ko ang aking paningin. Pansin ko kasing hindi ko pa nakikita si Thymoteo, don't get me wrong. I'm just checking kung kukulo ba ang dugo ko ngayong gabi. He likes to brag about everything that's why I'm surprised na hindi ko pa siya nakikita rito.“Let's now welcome LUNA's collection owned by Madame Laluna Windward. A greek designer who's already in the clothing industry for Thirty-five years!.” Pagkatapos rumampa ng mga model ay lumabas ang isang babaeng sa tingin ko ay nasa 60's na.Her designs always have seashells on it, it is full of beach cloth designs. I am so amazed by other company's different ideas and designs to make their collections unique and absolutely gorgeous.After more collections and designs of other companies, it's finally our turn. “Let's now welcome YSABELLA's collection! Owned by one of the youngest business tycoons Ms. Cynnon Nadezhda. A Filipino-Russian designer. YSABELLA is also one of the hottest topics in the clothing industry nowadays.”Sunod-sunod naglabasan ang models ko, maraming nagv-video at kumukuha ng litrato. Pumukaw sa atensyon ko ang ilang guest na nakasuot ng collection ng YSABELLA. I felt so very proud when they look fascinated on the gowns and dresses that our models is wearing.Pumwesto na ako sa backstage, dahil after ng models ko ay ako naman ang lalabas. Tumutok sa akin ang ilaw, bumilis ang pintig ng puso ko sa kaba.Paglakad ko ay inabutan ako ng isang bouquet, kumaway-kaway ako sa mga tao at ngumiti. Marami ang nag palakpakan at kumukuha sa akin ng litrato. Naglapitan sa akin ang models ko at sinenyasan kami ng photographer upang mag pose para sa picture.Bumaba na rin ako sa stage matapos ang picture taking at naupong muli sa assigned seat ko. Marami ang pumuri at nag congratulations sa akin. Nagpatuloy ang event at hindi ko pa rin nakikita si Thymoteo. Biglang naputol ang flow nang may lumapit sa host na isang lalaki at may ibinulong.Nagulat ako nang may humawak sa akin at hinila ako, it is Thymoteo. “We need to talk.” kalmado ngunit may bahid na galit sa mukha niya. What have I done?My eyebrows meet as Thymoteo pulls me in. I don't know what is wrong with him; I don't know what I did since he really looks so mad right now.Hinila ko ang braso ko para mabitawan niya ito. Pareho kaming napahinto, tiim-bagang siyang tumingin sa akin. Nakakunot ang kaniyang noo, habang ang mga mata niyang lumalagablab sa galit na nakatingin sa akin na animo'y isang malaking krimen ang nagawa ko. “What's your dámn problem?!” I can't help but yell. Nakakahiya ang biglaan niyang paghila sa akin sa kalagitnaan ng fashion show.“You! My problem is you! You did that right?” Mariin ang bawat salitang tanong niya sa akin. I am hella confused on what he's talking about. Gusto ko siyang sapakin sa sobrang inis na nararamdaman ko.Pumikit ako at huminga nang malalim to calm myself. “Did what?” kalmado kong tanong. Lalo namang bumakas ang galit at pagkainis sa kaniyang mukha.“Huwag ka nang mag maang-maangan, Ynna. You're the one who sabotage my company's cloth collections, right?” I laughed
I watched my janitors clean my office. Crossing my arms across my chest, leaning against the framedoor, I gave death stares to Maureen. She awkwardly smiled and did the peace sign.Less than 30 minutes ay tapos na rin nilang linisin ang opisina ko. Sino ba naman kasing hibang ang magpupuno ng sandamukal na rosas dito. My God, I'm still stressed at the fashion show, pag-uwi rito ay stress pa rin.“You all may leave now. Maureen, stay.” uUmupo ako sa swivel chair ko, nagpaalam silang lahat sa akin habang si Maureen naman ay halata ang kaba nang umupo sa swivel chair sa tapat ng table ko.“Speak.” I said icily.“Ganito kasi 'yon, Ynna kumalma ka muna natatakot ako sa bawat tingin mo!” I stared at her blanky.She looked at me, and I could see a hint of worry on her face. Pinaglalaruan niya ang kaniyang mga daliri bago muling tumingin sa akin at nagsalita, “Remember Mr. Chua? One of our investors?” she bit her lower lip while waiting for my response.I inhaled deeply, allowing the air to
Just as Mr. Chua was getting ready to punch back, a guard quickly came in and stopped them. At the same time, Thymoteo grabbed my hand and hurriedly took me to his car.He mumbled, “Kulit talaga ng mokong na ‘yon, walang dala..." I didn't hear the rest of what he said, it seemed like he slowed it down intentionally just to voice it out, but he didn't want me to hear it. Curious tuloy ako kung ano iyon. About ba sa akin? Binuksan niya ang pinto ng kotse niya, senyales na pinapapasok niya ako. Sumunod nalang ako dahil pagod na rin ako para makipag talo pa.Everything fell quiet as he finally got into the car. Feeling overwhelmed, I rubbed my temples gently, hoping to calm myself. I leaned against the backrest and closed my eyes, seeking a moment of tranquility.“Careless woman.” Parang tumalbog ang puso ko nang maamoy ko ang matapang niyang mamahaling pabango.Kinabit niya ang seatbelt ko at muling bumalik sa driver's seat. Nagmulat naman ako at tumingin nalang sa bintana.Nagmaneho nam
I froze on my position when I heard my name. What do they want from me? I bend down properly to cover my face, my heart beats quickly, and even with the air conditioning on, I sweat profusely.Tahimik ang buong meeting room. Nang walang sumasagot ay naglabas ng larawan ang leader nila. “Tingnan n‘yo ‘yan isa-isa kung kamukha nito.” Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko, hoping na matapos na ang lahat ng ito.Pinapakiramdaman ko lang ang paligid, pumaikot sila sa amin at tinitingnan ang bawat mukha namin. Nang malapit na ako ay narinig ko si Thymoteo na nagsalita.“Wala rito si Ynna, ano bang kailangan n‘yo sa kan‘ya?” kalmado lang ito nang magsalita.“Manahimik ka d‘yan tisoy, hala sige bilisan n‘yo d‘yan.” Dalawang tao nalang bago ako, parang puputok ang puso ko sa mabilis na tibok sa makapigil-hiningang nangyayari.Bago pa nila maitaas ang mukha ko ay maraming malakas na sirena ng police mobile ang narinig.“P#t@ng!n@! Mga parak! Bilisan n‘yo! Labas! Balik sa sasakyan! I on n‘yo ang bomba!”
YNNA's POVI was startled and covered myself with a blanket because of the coldness of the air conditioner. The strong scent of masculine cologne prevailed—wait, masculine cologne?!Dalian akong napabangon, chineck ko ang sarili ko. Iba na ang damit ko, chineck ko rin ang suot kong undergarments sa loob ng malaking t-shirt at sweater pants na ito. Iba na rin!Luminga-linga ako sa paligid, nakita ko si pogo na natutulog sa tabi ko. Nakayupyop ito sa kama at humihilik ng pakaunti.“What did you do to me?! Did you r#p€d me?! Help! Tulong! Manyak!”Mabilis siyang napabangon, tinakpan ko ng kumot ang buong katawan ko at nagsisisigaw. Kinusot niya ang kaniyang mga mata at hindi makapaniwalang tumingin sa akin.“Can you just shut up? Ang sakit mo sa tenga,” umatras naman ako hanggang mapasandal ako sa headboard.“Anong ginawa mo sa akin?! Nasaan ako?!” masama akong tumingin sa kaniya habang tinatakpan pa rin ng kumot ang katawan ko.“I didn't do anything! Also, hindi kita papatulan. You're f
I'm looking at any possible way that I can escape. All the doors and gates are closed and guarded. My knees got weak, I sat on the ground and cried. My aunt Lauren needs to know that I'm alive. For sure, Auntie Lauren and Maureen are very worried about me.“Stop it, calm yourself, Ynna. This is for your own good.” Malamig ang baritonong boses ni Thymoteo, nakatayo siya sa harap ko at nakapamulsa.Napayuko nalang ako at patuloy sa paghikbi, mahina akong napahampas sa sahig. Hindi ko na nabilang kung ilang minuto o nasa oras na ba ang pag-iyak ko. I saw how my aunt Lauren suffered a lot when we lost my parents. I can't imagine the pain she is facing right now.She can't find me; she does not even know if I am still alive. Ilang araw o baka linggo na ba ang nakalilipas? Hindi ko rin alam. I want to go home.While crying, nadama ko ang unti-unti kong pag angat mula sa lupa. Thymoteo carried me; he walked towards my bedroom. Hindi na ako nakipagtalo pa, wala na akong enerhiya, hindi ko na
YNNA's P.O.VI immediately shut my mouth off when I saw how mad Thymoteo is. I know that he and his friends just wanna help me but I can’t stay here longer knowing that my only family is worrying too much about me.Naging tahimik ang hapag-kainan habang kumakain kaming lahat ng almusal hanggang matapos kaming kumain ay naroon pa rin ang katahimikan. I felt really scared when I saw how pissed off he is, he gives me chills in my spine. I admit naman that I was wrong pero nadala lang din ako sa bugso ng damdamin when I heard that I need to stay here. Stay with my rival in one damn roof.“I will go on Manila tomorrow to start our plan, Trigo give me the contact number of your private investigator. Babalik din ako rito after a week.” Seryoso ang malamig na baritonong boses ni Thymoteo. Nagtatanguan lang ang lahat habang ako ay tahimik lang na naka upo.Nang matapos kaming kumain ay umalis si Thymoteo, dumiretcho siya pataas sa kaniyang kuwarto. Nakahinga kami ng maluwag, the tension betwee
“Are you going to Manila now? I thought, tomorrow?” I awkwardly asked him. I was actually nervous when he told me that he would punish me. What kind of punishment?---damn Cynnamon Nadezhda why did you suddenly feel excited?!“I received a message from my trusted staff. I need to fix some things, remember what I told you Ynna. Do not do something stupid.” I just nodded to him. I watched his muscular back while they were leaving.Sumunod sa kaniya ang tatlo niyang kaibigan, kumaway pa sila sa akin at ngumiti.“Bye bye Ynna, see you soon uli huwag mo kaming masyadong ma miss.” Huling sabi ni Lee bago siya tumakbo para makasabay sila Jerick.Namayapa ang katahimikan sa sala, narinig ko pa ang tunog ng kanilang mga sasakyan na paalis na. I checked the time on the wall clock. It is almost 6 in the evening. Kaya pala pagka alis na pagka alis nila pogo ay nagsi diretso sila Manang Fe sa kusina. Apat ang kasambahay ni pogo rito sa rest house niya.Sumunod ako sa kusina, I want to cook my own d
It was almost dusk when we arrived, we went along with the delivery to the rest house. We also delivered the things we bought for Maddy and her family separately to their house under the bridge.“Nandiyan na pala kayo, anong ihahain kong hapunan hapunan ijo?” Bungad ni Manang Fe sa amin.“Ako na po magluluto Manang Fe, I already bought kamote po.” Tumango naman siya at iniwan kami para samahan sila ate Nita, ate Tessie, at ate Lourdes na ayusin ang mga pinamili namin.Tinanggal ko ang facemask, shades, at cap ko tiyaka umupo sa sofa. I'm experiencing significant pain in my lower back. “Where's our child? Hinihintay na tayo ng anak natin diba?” Lumingon ako kay Thymoteo at sinamaan siya ng tingin.“Be thankful pogo, I helped you na makaalis sa mga higad na ‘yon.” Inirapan ko siya and then I do some stretches.Ang tagal kong naka upo sa delivery truck. Mag c-commute dapat kami pero I don't want to na magdalawang sakay pa. Also, it is mas tipid.“I know that you have hidden feelings for
We ordered caldereta and pinakbet with rice. While waiting for our order, he looked around before removing his facemask.“Remove your facemask but not your cap and shade. I don't see any suspicious person here.” Sinunod ko naman siya at tinanggal ang facemask ko.Hindi naman nagtagal ay dumating na rin ang order namin. “Naku sir mag nobyo at nobya ba kayo? Artistahin kayo pareho, bagay na bagay. Mukha kayong mga foreigner” Sabi ng nag hatid sa amin ng pagkain.“Ay no po, we are just friends lang po.” Nahihiyang sagot ko sa ale. Yuck, sa pangit ng ugali ni pogo kahit kaibigan ay hindi ako papayag.“Ganun po? Akala ko ay mag syota kayo. Sige, enjoy your meal po.” Umalis na rin naman agad ito. Shocks, nakakadiri. I can't believe that she mistook us as a couple.“That's disgusting, she mistook us as a couple. Mukha bang papatol ang poging tulad ko sa cheapie, ugly like you?” Nakangising aso sa akin ang pogong ito tiyaka nagsimulang kumain.“Pogi who? You mean pogo? Huwag mo nga akong bw
I stopped hitting him and turned on the light. I saw Thymoteo rubbing his arm and giving me a hostile look.“Hindi maganda ang trip mo, nakakabadtrip! Ala-una ng madaling araw ka bumalik?!” Inis na sabi ko sa kaniya.Kumuha siya ng beer sa ref, binuksan niya ito at ininom ng isang lagukan lang. “I don't want to stay there any longer that's why I decided to come back earlier.”“At this hour?! My gosh, buti hindi kutsilyo ang kinuha ko at baka nas@ks@k kita. You scares me!” Inirapan ko siya tiyaka kumuha ng tubig na malamig.Hindi naman niya ako pinansin, I noticed that he is thinking deeply. Kumuha ako ng tumbler at nilagyan iyon ng malamig na tubig para hindi na ako bumabang muli if I feel thirsty again.Aalis na dapat ako when I accidentally stepped on a plastic bottle. I feel like nadulas ako in slow mo, pumikit ako at hinintay ang tuluyan kong pag lagapak sa sahig.Matagal akong nakapikit pero hindi pa rin ako bumabagsak. Huh? What just happened? I feel like someone caught me using
The interview was already done, all the camera was focusing on my Auntie Lauren. I immediately turned off the television. No Ynna, you won't contact them. I should trust Thymoteo, just this once.I buried my face on the pillow, why do I need to experience this? At the age 16 napilitan na akong mag aral ng mga bagay na konektado sa pagpapatakbo ng negosyo, I didn't experience having a proper teenage years. I lost my parents at the young age and now someone is trying to kill me na posibleng malapit pa sa akin.Kinuha ko ang tablet sa side table ko. Ibubuhos ko nalang ang nararamdaman ko sa pag shopping. It is not my bank account anyways.“Ynna, ija. Anong ulam ang lulutuin ko para sa hapunan?” Narinig ko ang boses ni Manang Fe sa labas ng kwarto. Tumayo ako at binuksan ang pinto. “Caldereta nalang po Manang.” Nakangiting tugon ko sa kaniya.“Osige, ipapatawag nalang kita kay Tina mamaya ha. Pag may kailangan ka ay puntahan mo nalang ako sa baba.” Tumango nalang ako sa kaniya bago siya
A deep sigh is my only response to my mom. She is being hysterical. “Tell me! Did you tanan her Thymoteo?! Hindi me nagpalaki ng ganiyan ha!” Sunod-sunod na hampas ang inabot ko sa kaniya.“Mom! No! Hindi ko itinanan si Ynna!” Tumigil siya at itinaas ang kanan niyang kilay bago tumingin sa akin ng matalim.Damn, why do I have such a crazy mom?!“I'm helping her okay? She is in huge danger. Those men, I know that someone gave them an order to do that. We're now going to fake her death and do an investigation to her company. We believe that the culprit is someone who is close or near with her because that person know where she is that day.” Mahaba kong explanation sa kaniya.She finally calmed down. I don't know if she has bipolar disorder, but she suddenly smiled after what I said.“Oh, that's why naman pala. My baby boy is so bait helping his ayieee crushie mo s‘ya hano?” I rolled my eyes, sometimes she's really irritating.Tumabi siya sa akin at tinap pa ang ulo ko ng parang aso. “G
I ended our call out of frustration, I can feel that my cheeks are still burning red. My gosh that man is really boastful. He is always getting on my nerves.Itinabi ko ang iPad sa side table at sumalampak ako sa kama. Napaka kapal talaga ng mukha ng lalaking iyon. Ako? Pinagnanasaan siya? In his dreams, eww. Bumuntong hininga ako bago bumangon muli, kumuha ako ng ternong pantulog sa drawer dito sa kwarto ko. I am amazed that they know my size.Papasok na dapat ako sa banyo ngunit umilaw ang iPad, senyales na may notification. So it is Whatsapp huh, I also use this for my international clients and investors. I opened the message, it is from Thymoteo.He sent me his picture with a wide smile, naka unbutton ang kaniyang tatlong butones habang nakasakay sa kaniyang helicopter. He is really irritating me. Akala mo naman kung sinong guwapo. Another notification pop up on the screen. It is from that mahanging pogo again.‘You can stare at it as long as you want. I can see your tomato cheeks
