So he threw it away at kinuha na lamang ang ps5 nya upang maglibang.Pero ewan, tuliro sya at hindi makampante, his attention ay nagaantay parin sa reply ni Astria.Wala pang halos isang oras ay ibinato nya rin niya ang controller at kinuha ang telepono nya.May mga messages pero hindi eto mula kay Astria... it's from Roxie.Dahil nga under sya ng sobrang higpit na surveillance gamit ang cctvs and even some bodyguard, hindi sya makaalis o makatakas man lang para mapuntahan si Roxie sa hospital— hindi padin kasi gumagaling ang sugat neto. Mabuti nalang talaga at naghire sya ng caregiver bago magkandaloko loko ang lahat.Halos nagiisang linggo narin syang di nakakabisita sa girlfriend nya dahil nga sa nangyari kaya naman nagrereklamo na si Roxie at kinukulit sya'Kailan mo ba ako napupuntahan? I'm almost padischarge na''Will you pick me up paglabas ko?:(''No... forget it hindi ka nga pala makaalis''I'm so sad, I miss you na''Hindi mo paba sinasabi sa parents mo yung pagtakas ni Astr

Nang makauwi na si Cairan ay halos tanghaling tapat na, at hindi maganda ang aura neto.As if something harsh happen.Nagdire-diretso eto sa study niya in a pretext na busy daw sa trabaho kaya naman hinayaan nalang ni Astria ang binata kahit pa gusto nya sanang kausapin eto tungkol sa paglipat na pinagpaplanuhan nya.Seeing that Cairan is really busy at hindi rin maganda ang timpla neto kaya pinagpaliban nya muna, she didn't want to disturb him.Kaya naman si Yuniña nalang ang kinausap nya, nakibalita sya tungkol sa nalilipatan nya.Pero natagalan muna makareply si Yuniña kaya naman nabobored si Astria, at nang makapagreply eto ay natawa na lamang si Astria."May trabaho kami ni Uno sa labas, mamaya ka na magchat. Punta nalang ako dyaan sainyo" basa ni Astria sa reply ni Yunina.Sure syang habang nagtitipa eto ay abot tenga ang ngiti ng kaibigan. Simple lang kasi ang kasiyahan neto, basta tungkol kay Uno masaya na sya.Astria suddenly felt a little envious to Yuniña dahil kahit anong

"No need" he coldly said without even looking at her.Why is he so cold right now? Naiintindihan naman ni Astria na wala eto sa mood and something did happen pero...Why is he so cold to her... Hindi maiwasan ni Astria na masaktan at magtampo.Her heart sank slightly dahil sa naging kilos ng binata. Hindi nya alam ang nangyayari, she felt so sad knowing his actions.But she still manage to be cheerful, maybe sobrang stress lang talaga ang binata."Alright, I'll go down muna saglit with Yuniña, isasama din namin si Zairo. Go down if you have time" pilit sayang pagpapaalam neto at nagsimula ng tumalikod, she even look back to see if Cairan will Answer or follow her but he didn't...Patuloy lang eto sa pag aayos ng nga papeles sa lamesa neto.After that depressing goodbye, Astria and Yuniña went downstairs para kumain sa resto sa lobby.Yuniña was so bored sa usapan nilang dalawa kaya naman tinext nya si Zairo para sabay sabay silang kumain. The whole dinner, Astria is not in the mood,

"Sus, ayaw maniwala. I clearly remember it pretty sis" pagdedepensa naman ni Zairo "It was you, I swear, ano yon. Picture mo kasama ang ilang mga stray cat" dagdag pa neto."Ano yon, may pinapakain ka atang mga stray cats. Kitang kita ko nga yon kasi laging nasa wallet nya ang picture nayon. At that time kasi hindi pa uso ang credit card or mobile payment, kaya lagi nyang dala dala yung wallet nya" pagpapaliwanag pa neto.Hindi agad nakareact si Astria."Wow! Seryoso!?" biglang sigaw naman ni Yuniña at tila ba excited ba kinikilig na di no mawari ang ekspresyon."Teka! does that mean that Boss pogi has been interested to my lovely bestfriend for a long long long time!?" excited na saad ni Yuniña at kinikilig na nakatingin kay Astria.Hindi naman makapaniwala si Astria, hindi nya alam ang irereact. Hindi nya maalala kung may ganong encounter ba sila nang kasintahan noon."Teka, I did feed some stray cats sa park malapit samin pero... I never encountered him back then tuwing nagpapakai

Dahilan upang mapahinto si Cairan. She walked papalapit sa binata na ngayo'y tahimik. Astria took a deep breath tila ba naghahanap ng lakas ng loob. And then, She reached him and hug him out of nowhere.Nagulat naman si Cairan sa ginawa ni Astria, kaya naman ibinaba nya ang ulo nya and this time he spoke in a lower tone "What's wrong?"Astria just hug him tighter, her ears are against in his chest and she could clearly hear his heartbeat."I-I just want to hug you" she uttered in a soft voice, bihira lang kay Astria ang maglakas-loob at mag-initiate nang daring na bagay such us kisses or even hugs kaya naman hindi eto inaasahan ni Cairan at hindi agad nakareact.She felt very uneasy ngayon dahil sa mga pagbabago sa binata and she really want to do something to comfort him kaso ang problema lang talaga ay hindi nya alam kung papaano.Only hugging ang tanging naiisip ni Astria kaya naman, she hugged him tight so that she can make him feel better.Tahimik lang si Cairan nang halos ilan

But he can't do that, it will be their problem kung pipilitin nya ang dalagang dumipende sakanya. Tama si Astria, it was their first time being in love and things might get messy, even how to get along in intimacy might be new to them. they need to take their time to adjust for those foreign things. Matapos ang ilang minuto, nagsalita na si Cairan. "I don't think that you're useless or pabigat ok? All I need is you here with me, that's all enough" seryosong saad ni Cairan sa dalaga. He's always been alone sa halos di na nya mabilang na taon, he often feels lonely kahit na nasa madami syang tao o kahit nasa circle of friends nya sya. Those people na akala nya ang magiging closest persons or family nya ay sila pa talaga ang nanakit sakanya. For him, not leaving, abandonubg or giving up is already precious to him. Parang naiintindihan narin ni Astria ang lahat, on why he's cold earlier and now saying na all he needs is her with him. He's ok with everything hanggat magkasama sila.

Halos naiiyak ang mga mata ni Astria after realizing their miscommunication, she realized that both of them are really novice when it comes to dating. They have been walking on a thin ice and very very careful not to hurt each other... but those moves brings a miscommunication to them.They should have talked to that like what they're doing right now."You can always be here, I told you that already. My door is always open for you" he quickly said at lumapit sa kasintahan.He cupped her both cheeks at gamit ang hinlalaki nya ay pinunasan neto ang mga luhang tumatakas mula sa mata ni Astria."You can live here, Whenever you want, even if it's forever. No it's better if Forever nga" he uttered and softly planted kisses on her face "Well, kung ayaw mo naman rito sa hotel. We can buy a house?" suggest pa ni Cairan, napatango-tango nalang si Astria na puno nang luha ang nga mata.She's relieved that they fixed their conflict.Maybe in future, they will have a home together.After their he

"It's done" he uttered at dahan-dahang nalakad papunta sa likod ni Astria "Ano bang sasabihin mo?"There was a rustling sound behind her earlier, as if a man was putting on clothes. Kaya naman nakahinga na sya ng maluwag. She concluded that the man is now dressed up, and was about to turn around.She was stunned.Cairan fooled her, hindi pa sya nakadamit at nananatiling topless... and ang worse ay ilang dangkal na lamang ang layo ng binata sakanya.Sobrang lapit... she can even feel his breathing!One deep breathe at amoy na amoy ni Astria ang binata, he's signature cool and woody scent is lingering into her nose."H-hoy! I-ikaw!" she stuttered so much, hindi nagpaprocess ang utak ni Astria dahil sa hiya, as if her brain stopped working.After lot's of courage, she finally turn around para tumalikod ulit sa binata at akmang bubuksan na ang pinto para makatakas sya sa napakadaring na posisyon nila ng nobyo...However, Cairan was fast.

Kinaumagahan, halos mga alas kwatro nang umaga ng magising si Astella mula aa pagkakatulog, she was sober too at medyo magaan na ang pakiramdam nya. Nagulat pa sya ng magising sa hospital bed kaya naman napatitig sya sa gilid at nakita nya si Astria na natutulog, napalinga rin sya at napansin si Roy na prenteng natutulog sa sofa habang si Astria e nasa hindi komportableng posisyon.Napailing na lamang sya at napabuntong hininga, wala talagang pake ang asawa nya sa anak nila... she failed as a mother for choosing a bad father. May hinuha na sya sa nangyayari kung bakit nandito ulit ang anak nya and she feels so bad and guilty. Hahawakan sana ni Astella ang ulo ng anak para himasin ng gumalaw ang dalaga, naalimpungatan ata eto.Nagulat eto ng makitang nakabangon ang ina mula sa pagkakahiga "Mom! gising ka na! teka, you should I down first kailangan mong magpahinga" natatarantang saad neto at ginaya ang ina papahiga "Nilagnat ka ulit at sobrang taas kaya naman dinala ka na namin ni dad

"Mamili ka ng maayos Astria, you being engaged to Cian and cut ties with that bastard or you will be freed but your damn mother will be sold with some maniac old man and your lovely illegitimate man will be kicked out of the Funtaveria Corp, choose wisely Astria. Choose" paguulit pa ni Roy na puno ng ngisi ang labi, nakikita nya kasi ang reaksyon ni Astria. She looks pale, shocked an helpless, and he's enjoying it.Choice... do that shit can be called a choices!? kahit anong piliin nya wala syang magagawa, lahat may masamang mangyayari... Naiiyak sya.Napalingon sya sa ama ng makarinig ng malalakas na halakhak."Astria, you should obey me and just damn get engaged with Cian and cut that bastard out of your life. Yan ang napag-usapan natin kanina diba bago ko ihatid ang ina mo sa ospital? You will obey what I want.

She's speechless, wala nang pagaasa pang magtino ang ama nya. Astria wipes her tears at pinilit buhatin ang ina o kaya'y tapik-tapikin "Mom, stay awake for a while, tutulungan kitang makalakad para madala sa ospital" marahang saad ni Astria sa ina.Sobrang init na ng temperatura ni Astella at napapansin nya narin ang pangangatog neto, kinakabahan na sya lalo. Her mom needs to go to the hospital immediately.Pinilit naman ni Astella ang sarili, sinuportahan sya ni Astria na makatayo at lalabas na sana ng storage room ng pigilan at harangan sila ni Roy."Do you think I will let you go that easily!? ngayon pa na tumapak ka ulit sa pamamahay ko!?" inis na asik ni Roy sa anak."Nababaliw ka naba!?" nagngitngit ang mga ngipin ni Astria at masamang tumingun sa ama "Mom needs to go to hospital immediately! she's burning as fuck! she's your wife and she needs immediate help right now!!" galit pang asik ni Astria sa ama.Sinalubong naman ni Roy nang nanlilisik ring mata ang mga mata ni Astria "

Magdidilim na ang paligid nya nang tumunog ang telepono nya at makatanggap sya ng mensahe mula kay Cairan. Mukhang nakauwi na eto at hinahanap sya, he's asking kung bakit pa sya wala sa penthouse...Nanlalabo ang paningin ni Astria habang binabasa ang mensahe ng binata.But she manage to pull herself together and replied on his messages ' I'm just taking a stroll, Mauna ka nalang muna kumain ' tanging nasagot nga na lamang sa binata at ibinalik ang telepono sa bulsa nya.'what a cold reply' she said in her mind. Infact, hanggang ngayo'y may cold war parin naman sa pagitan at halos ilang araw rin silang wala masyadong kibuan, pero sure syang kahit ganon ang situwasyon nila ay naghihintay lang talaga eto nang desisyon nya at plano nya.Napabuntong-hininga na lang sya, as if naman she have a choice diba? she have none, kahit anong piliin nya ay may dapat parin syang isakripisyo.Matapos nang ilang minutong lakadan ay nakarating na sya sa tapat ng bahay nila.

Maya maya, nagvibrate ulit ang telepono nya. It was from cian again "Asked nicely, I might reconsidered it". Napabuntong hininga si Astria. "Please, Cian. Can you check her up? it's fine even if it's quick" pagrereply neto saka nagsend ng isang gif, a puppy with a pleading look and saying please. Matapos magsend ay agad syang nireplyan ng binata "Yan, sige. Wait, I'll check her up. Update kita pagtapos" He's still childish like he used too, isip isip ni Astria matapos tingan ang reply sakanya ng binata. Binitawan naman na ni Cian ang telepono nya at nagbihis, nakangisi ang binata at magaan ang aura nya ngayon. As if something good happen. Feeling kasi nya ay unti-unti nang bumabalik ang pagkakaibigan nila ni Astria kaya naman hindi maalis ang ngiti sa labi nya, halos matagal tagal narin simula ng huling sumaya sya. Nung mga nakaraang araw kasi ay puro nalang problema ang kinakaharap nya. He was forced in this damn engagement at wala syang magawa dahil may bantay sya

Buong magdamag na hindi pinatulog ng niya si Astria, she kept thinking and organizing her thoughts. In the he only state that he had a plan for Funtaveriá corp, not the whole detailed plan. Was it because he didn't trust her that much para sabihin? natatakot ba sya na baka ibunyag nya to sa mga Funtaveriá? She can't herself but to doubt him... his distrust to her mad her trust to him broken, she's also feel so guilty because of her own conscience. Those thoughts kept messing their relationship. Her conscience and guilt is eating her up along with her distrust on him. If she had never hurt him back then baka hindi sya naguguilty tuwing nakakasama ang binata, she wouldn't have to be afraid to be with him but the irony was, if she hadn't done those immoral things, would he really still approach her? hindi mawala sa isip nya na baka talagang inapproach lang sya ng binata dahil para makaganti eto and that was her biggest fear... It's holding her back to choose and run to him without

"Hey, stop. Don't bite yourself" pagaawat ng binata matapos makita ang ginagawa ng dalaga sa labi nya. He raised his hands at inabot ang labi ng dalaga, he gently rub them. "Please, don't be burden by those things. Now, your problem is my problem too. Kung pagbabayad nang pera ang solusyon sa problema mo willing akong gawin lahat para matulungan ka, I will give you all I have if that's what it takes." Bakit tuwing bumubuka ang labi ng binatang kaharap nya ngayon ay puro na lamang bagay na hindi nya pa naririnig ang inilalabas ng mapupula at maninipis na labi neto? it's making her doubt anything because hindi nya maramdamang worthy sya para sa mga sinasabi ng binata. How can she be worth it for those sacrifices? She hurt him back then... She... She always choose someone else, kahit na pasikreto nya mang tinutulungan dati si Cairan, she still choose to shut her mouth and turn a blind eye on his suffering siding those people who hurt him. Even she did give him a flashlights everytime

"You're thinking, I'm just talking nonsense right?" buntong hiningang saad ni Cairan matapos makita ang mga tingin ni Astria. Napababa naman ng tingin ang dalaga sabay iling na lamang "No... hindi sa ganon... it just, kahit na makahiram ka man ng ganong kalaking pera... I-i... I can't afford to pay it back. How can I pay you back" alalang saad ni Astria sa kasintahan. Hindi naman nakasagot si Cairan sa mga oras na iyon at nabalot na ng katahimikan ang buong hapag. The meal ended in silence, parehong walang kibo ang dalawa sa magkaibang dahilan and that gives Astria sa sense of guilt for ruining the mood. It's just... how can he borrow a hundred millions from someone? sinong tanga ang magpapahiram ng ganoong kalaking pera just because they're friends? he didn't even know kung mababayadan ba eto. And if Cairan did borrow money, hindi nya alam kung pano nya mababayadan ang binata. Hindi ganon kadaling maghanap ng pera, kahit magkayod kalabaw pa sya nang buong taon hindi manlang neto
