Take my Hand and Choose me I. Girlfriend!?!?
ALAS ONSE na nang gabi ngunit busy parin sa pagre-review si Austria, malapit na kasi ang Finals nila and it was her hell week tuwing patapos na ang semestre, madami kasing gawain idagdag pa ang exams. Tahimik lang na nag aaral eto nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone nang dalaga kaya naman nawala sya sa focus. She took a deep sigh before picking up the call, ni hindi manlang nagatubiling tingnan ang pangalan ng tumatawag. "Hello" bungad nang dalaga at inilayo konti ang telepono upang masilip kung sino ang tumawag. "Kayo po ba si Ms. Astria?" saad nang nasa kabilang linya na ikinabigla ni Astria at napadoble tingin sa Caller Id. Tama naman ang pagkakatingin nya, Si Cian ang tumawag pero bakit ibang ang boses nang nasa tawag? Bakit iba ang boses? nawala ba nya ang phone nya? Again!? Napabuntong hininga nalang si Astria at pinagpatuloy ang usapan nila nang tao sa kabilang linya. Matapos nang medyo may katagalang paguusap, naliwanagan naman na ang dalaga kung bakit iba a

GULONG GULO si Astria dahil sa nalaman, paano!? palagi naman silang naguusap nang binata pero ni minsan ay wala syang nabanggit na girlfriend rito? how? She suddenly felt like her heart was shattered. "He has a girlfriend?" she unconsciously uttered at narinig naman eto nang pulis "Oo, teka ano nga ulit pangalan non" saad neto and trying hard na alalahanin ang pangalan, maya maya pa ay nagsalita ulit eto "Ahh! ano, Roxie— Roxie Beridez" Saad neto "Grabe talaga yung ginawa nya, buti nalang at napakiusapan yung may ari nang bar. Sabihan mo yang kaibigan mo na wag masyadong basagulero at baka sa susunod e di na sya makalabas" dagdag pa neto saka umiling iling. Naiwan namang gulong gulo si Astria, she can't think straight. Pano? Paano sya nagka-girlfriend nang bigla bigla? he didn't even bother to tell her kahit na araw araw silang magkausap!? Maya maya ay natunton na nila ang kinaroroonan ni Cian, Yung pulis naman ay sumenyas at ibinato ang susi sa isang pulis na nakabantay sa

HE REALLY have a girlfriend now. Paano? Gaano na sila katagal? why did he hid it from her? and why—Mariing napapikit si Astria nang makalabas nang lobby nang hotel, kasabay nang malamig na panahon ang pagbagsak nang damdamin nya. Ang galing nya naman magtago. Hindi manlang nya namalayang may girlfriend pala eto.She suddenly remembered last month nung bumisita sila sa bahay nila Cian. Lolo Carlos always joked about their engagement tuwing nagpupunta sya don pero Cian always laugh it off and her? syempre kinikilig sa gilid. But ang mas nakakasakit pa ay, Cian always replied to it na "Lo naman, you're so impatient, kalma lang. Little Star is still a student right?we should wait for her to graduate" saad neto kaya naman mas lalong naniwala sya na sya talaga ang papakasalan nang binata, pero ano na? he had a girlfriend.Napatawa nalang ang dalaga habang nangangatog na nag lalakad, She laugh her ass off. Feel nya tuloy ay pinaglalaruan lang sya nang binata.The laugh suddenly become tea

CAIRAN JUST sighed nang makitang hindi makasagot si Astria, he took of his coat and put it to her shoulder. Pansin nya kasi ang panginginig nang dalaga. "Hindi ka paba nakakapagbook nang kwarto? Pano ka nyan anong oras na?" may pagkasoft na saad ni Cairan matapos mailagay ang coat nya sa balikan ni Astria. Astria was stunned by his action kaya hindi agad sya nakasagot sa binata. "W-well, I should look for other hotel. Fully booked na kasi rito e, Thankyou pala for the coat" may pagka-awkward na sagot ni Astria. She never expected that he is willing to give her his coat. Hindi naman agad sumagot si Cairan. Mag papaalam na sana si Astria para maghanap ulit mag ibang hotel nang biglang magsalita si Cairan "Ahh, I live upstairs. Kung gusto mo doon ka nalang muna magpalipas nang gabi, I have a guest room" Gulat man sa narinig pero hindi eto pinahalata ni Astria, she should be thankful dahil baka mas lalong wala syang matulugan pag hindi nya matanggap ang pagmamabuting loob neto. "U

KINUHA NYA ang cellphone nya at tiningnan eto, nag-text pala si Cian. "Little star, nakahanap ka naba nang hotel room?" basa nya sa text nang kaibigan. wow naalala nya pa pala sya? funny thing. Hinayaan nya nalang eto at binitawan ang telepono nya. She's so sleepy to bothered to reply in his text tsaka after what happen earlier she lost all her energy to talk to him. ' You're so bad Cian, you let me stay in that cold night. Buti pa si Cairan, he let me stay in this cozy room, you're so bad Cian ' tanging saad nya sa isip bago nagpadala sa antok. That night, Astria dreamed something she didn't want to dream. Lumaki si Astria na masunurin sa elders, modest din sya sa lahat nang bagay at magalang. At lagi syang kasa-kasama ni Cian sa lahat, Even Cian use her para pagtakpan sya sa lahat nang kalokohan ni Cian nung bata pa. Nung makapasok si Cairan sa mga Funtaveriá, not only they weren't welcomed him, they even gave him a cold shoulder. And one of them is Aunt Odette, she'

MATAPOS NYANG maligpit ang higaan ay nagdesisyon na syang lumabas nang kwarto, kailangan nya nang bumalik sa dormitoryo nila anong oras nadin kasi. Nagulat sya nang makalabas nang pinto. Gising na pala si Cairan, nakatayo ang binata sa may tabi nang dining table at busy maglapag na plato. Napaangat naman nang tingin ang binata nang marinig ang pagsara nang pinto nang guest room. "Ahh, Good morning" may hiyang saad ni Astria, hindi parin talaga sya sanay na kausapin ang binata. Hindi nya din alam ang itatawag dito, nakakahiya naman i kuya sya baka hindi nya magustuhan. He just stare at her blankly with no expression pero later on Cairan decided to speak "After mong maghilamos, come here and join me" tanging saad neto habang inilalapag ang mga nakatupperware na pagkain. Wow, andami. Kahit man may pagkagulat si Astria sa akto ni Cairan e hinayaan nya nalang eto at dumiretso sa banyo upang maghilamos. Naalala nya bigla yung panaginip sakanya, nabagabag tuloy sya dahil don. S

"UHM, I'M in the hotel right now, ilang blocks lang from your hotel" saad nya sa kabilang linya hindi naman sya nagsinungaling at nasa hotel naman talaga sya, she just— hindi nya lang minention na sa hotel room ni Cairan sya ngayon. "That's good to hear pero bakit hindi ka nagreply kagabi!? you know how scared I am? what if something happen on you?" sagot nang nasa kabilang linya na para bang nabunutan na nang tinik sa dibdib kung makabuga nang hininga "I'm also worried na baka wala kang makuhang room hindi ka naman makakabalik sa dorm nyo kaya kanina pumunta ako don to see if nakabalik kana pero wala ka pa" dagdag pa neto. Tahimik at kalmadong nakikinig lang si Astria, maybe kung hindi nya nalamang may girlfriend eto eh kikiligin na sana sya pero now? that nangyari yung kagabi was become her eye opener. Suddenly parang namulat ang mata nya na his just being kind to her because they are friends. Pero, If she really didn't get a room and get frozen by the cold night eh sa umaga

"TEKA" PAG AGAW pansin ni Astria kay Cairan na papasok na sana sa study room. Ayaw nya na sanang abalahin pa ang binata pero hindi talaga kakayanin nang konsensya nya kung hindi nya narerepay ang mga ginawa nang binata. He just coldly stare at her as usual. Napalunok naman si Astria dahil feel nya ay na-offend nya ang binata base sa mga tingin neto, hindi naman masama ang tingin nya pero nakaka-intimidate kasi. "Uhm, ano..." tanging nasambit nya, wala syang maisip jusko! brain gumana ka! "Ah! ano, your birthday! kailan birthday mo? I'll give you a gift too" Mabilis na saad ni Astria nang makaisip nang idadahilan bakit tinawag nya ang binata. "Nah, no need. Tapos na birthday ko tsaka..." He paused for a while and saka tumingin kay Astria with a slight sad emotion "I don't celebrate my birthday" he calmly said na nagpahinto kay Astria. Hindi alam ni Astria ang isasagot, she wants to pity him but she knows that it might be disrespectful to Cairan. Well, looking back sa mga din

"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
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXXVII. If she is then let's help her to leave
Kinabukasan, Evie woke up a little late. Hindi sya natulog sa kwarto ni Cairan. Kagabi kasi, hindi na bumaba ang binata and he just ordered some food. Tahimik lang silang kumain, shw didn't dare to asked yung anong ibig-sabihin nang narinig nya kagabi. She's scared to know... Matapos nang nakakabinging dinner ng dalawa, naunan nang magpaalam si Astria na matutulog saka sya dumiretso sa kwarto nya. Cairan sense that something is bothering his girlfriend but hinayaan nya muna ang dalaga, he's giving him a personal safe for a while. Humihikab na lumabas ng kwarto si Astria, mabigat parin ang puso nya at hindi parin maganda ang mood nya, hindi mawala sa utak nya ang sunod sunod na isiping dapat nya isipin. But she needs to cheer up, ayaw nyang ipahalata sa binata. Napaunat-unat muna si Astria bago tuluyang lumabas upang maghilamos. "Good morning" bungad na bati ni Cairan sa dalaga matapos netong makalabas ng pinto, naghahanda eto ng makakain nila sa hapag. "Good morning din" pilit

"Hay nako, ayoko lang kasi na si Cian ang makikinabang sa lahat ng pagod mo, that loser didn't deserve it. We even brought our team from us para lang magamit sa kumpanya nila but that Cael, he took the credit and just promote you as a reward? It's so obvious! ayaw ka parin nila sa kumpanya, kung hindi ka lang magaling at pinalago sila, baka manager ka parin hanggang ngayon. Ha! gusto nilang puro trabaho ka habang sila ang nakikinabang? This is clearly bullying, hanggang dito ba naman." reklamo ni Zairo "Don't worry, Funtaveriá Corp. is a big platform, hindi basta basta. Kung sa normal way kung gusto mapromote eh dapat halos tatlo o apat na taon pa ang kailangan bago ma promote, calm down" saad ni Cairan saka dinikdik ang sigarilyo sa ashtray "We still have time, there's a long way to go. Uunti-untiin lang natin maningil" dagdag pa ni Cairan gamit ang blangko nyang mukha. This gives Zairo a little bit of cheer up. "Totoo yan ha? that's not an empty promises? Let's get rid of that ol

It's hard to imagine na ang binatang katext nya ngayon ay dating cold at mailap sakanya ay ngayo'y alalang alala kung kumakain ba sya sa tamang oras. Totoo ba ang lahat ng ito? Wala sya sa tamang hulog para kumain kaya naman nagreply sya sa nobyo. 'Hindi na, bababa na lang ako mamaya para kumain. Kailan ka ba makakauwi?' tanong ni Astria sa binata. 'I'll try to be quick, baka mga 9:30 o 8 nandyan na ako. Are you bored ba? should I ask Yuniña na pumunta dyan?' naiimagine ni Astria ang pagkunot ng noo ng binata habang magtitipa. Napatawa sya pero mabigat parin ang pakiramdam nya, it's hard to doubt his sincerity kung ganto ang mga kilos nya. 'No na, bababa nalang ako para maglalakad-lakad para ma-exercise din ang paa ko' sagit ni Astria. 'Alright, ingat ka. Don't walk too far baka mabigla ang paa mo' he replied. Astria just reply 'Okay' to him at nagpaalam naman na ang binata na babalik sa trabaho. Astria was scrolling through their conversations hanggang sa umabot sya sa part
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXXIV. How can he loved her...
Astria was confused, anong pinagsasabi nya? "What are you saying? what's wrong with that?" gulong-gulong saad ni Astri "After all, it's my freedom to do whatever I want." dagdag nya pa "And for your plan about the engagement, let me think about it first" pagbabalik nya sa topic. Hindi sya pwedeng basta basta magdesisyon. Hindi lang sya ang maapektuhan ng desisyon nyo, meron syang Cairan na masasaktan. She needs to talk about it to Cairan first. Cian just curled his lips with malice. "It's up to you, I can just change my Fiancée anytime. Atleast, I won't make my mother suffer because of my selfishness" sarkastikong saad ni Cian sa dalaga. Those words hit her heart in pain. Napayukom na lamang si Astria ng kamay. "If wala kanang sasabihin, I'm leaving" galit na asik ni Astria saka tuluyang naglakad papalayo sa binata. She leave without looking back. Cian just stared at her slender back features and gritted his teeth secretly. His sight... it gradually change as if he's scanni
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXXIII. Just hear me out, think of it as a deal
Napatingin naman si Astria at nakita ang dalawang nakatayong lalaki sa di kalayuan sakanila, nakasuot nang itim na suit at may earpiece. They are Cael's eyes and ears. Well, kilala nya naman si Cian, if ayaw nya ay gagawin nya ang lahat para huwag matuloy kaya siguro sya pinag-body guard not to protect him but to restrain him for doing anything stupid. "Oh, anong gusto mong sabihin?" tanong ni Astria. Natahimik naman si Cian nang mga ilang segundo bago bumuntong hininga. "I... no. Let's proceed with the engagement ceremony, Astria" diretso nyang sabi dahilan para manlaki ang mata ni Astria at di makapaniwala "Don't worry" saad pa nya matapos makita ang reaction ng dalaga "Just listen to me first, hear me out... Ok? This engagement... hindi naman to totally kasal na diba? it's just a engagement between us. And by doing this engagement tito Roy's goal will be achieved, magagamit nya ang reputasyon namin para masalba ang kumpanya nya and he will not beat your mother ever again. As fo
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXXII. She really felt so guilty.
Pero kasi getting engaged to Cian means that she needs to give Cairan up. At ayaw nya yon, ayaw nyang isuko ang binata. Kahit pa hindi nya alam at natatakot sya sa intensyon neto ay hindi nya parin kayang sukuan ang binata. This is the first time she genuinely loved by someone, someone who respect her choices and let her be herself. Anyway. Nakumbinsi naman ni Astria si Astella kahit papaano na kumain. Habang tinutulungan ni Astria ang ina ay napansin ni Astella ang binti neto, doon nya lang naalala kamustahin ang paa neto. "How was your leg? You jump from your room" may pag-aalalang tanong neto, nahiya naman bigla si Astria pero sumagot parin sya, inamin ang katotohanan. "Ok naman yung paa ko Mommy, it's not that serious. Nakapagpa-X-ray narin ako para masiguro and we didn't see any cracks or bali sa bones, natwist lang talaga or nadislocate kaya mahirap igalaw pero ok na ako dahil napahinga ko na sya ng halos ilang araw" mahabang pagpapaliwanag ni Astria. "That's good to he

"Isa pa, i heard that he's doing well in U.S so isn't it strange that he will return here kung saan puro pahirap lang ang naranasan nya? Isa pa, with his ability pwede naman syang gumawa nang sarili nyang kumpanya, but he didn't, he joined the Funtaveria Corp that runs by his father who never cared for him. Try to think of it, put yourself in his shoes, hindi ba parang ang strange naman non? will you go back to something that made you suffer without thinking of any kind of revenge?" dagdag pa ng ina ni Astria.Napatahimik nalang si Astria, mariin syang napayukom ng kamao, mahigpit na mahigpit hanggang sa bumaon na ang mga kuko nya sa kamay nya.She tried to open her mouth but no sounds came out.Sobrang gulo ng utak nya, hindi na nya alam ang iisipin pa. Her mother's word is valid and had a point... Hindi na nya alam."He can be a cunning person" sabi ni Astella na nagbigay-lamig sa buong katawan ni Astria. "But still, we can deny that he's a poor child but grew up into a outstandin

Napakagat nalang ng labi si Astria, she felt cold all over her body."Kaya hayaan mo na, whether we get divorced or not. Ayoko na dyan sa daddy mo, I'm so done with him." Madidiing saad ni Astella at pinapanatili ang pagkakalma kahit sa loob loob nya ay sobrang galit sya kay Roy "My life... It's now completely mess kahit ano pang gawin ko eh wala na akong magagawa pa. I never had a good life with him, kahit kailan. Kahit nga nung nagdedate palanh kami, I just shrugged it all because i was blinded kahit alam kong sobrang misogynistic nya tsk, sa una lang sya magaling" iritable pang asik ni AstellaTahimik lang namang nakikinig si Astria, naawa sya at nalulungkot habang nakikinig sa mga kwento ng ina."Kaya ikaw, Star. I just hope that you will live a good life, hindi tulad ng buhay ko. Just let me and your dad rot in hell, you shouldn't live in this hell. Live a life that you really want." seryosong saad ni Astella sa anak at binalingan eto ng tingin. Her eyes is crying, sunod sunod an
