Take my Hand and Choose me CLXIII. Just a glimpse of sunlight.
NATAHIMIK saglt si Cairan dahil sa naging sagot ni Astria, pero maya-maya ay maliit na ngumisi as if he's mocking her or himself. “Bakit? Are you afraid that your family will see us together?” His tone is stained with mockery.Hindi naman nakasagot agad si Astria, kahit naman kasi wala na syang pake sa iisipin ni Cian, kailangan nya paring alalahanin ang mga magiging reaction ng nga matatanda pag nakita sila ni Cairan.Suddenly, she realized that maybe by denying him. Baka feel ni Cairan ay kinakahiya nya parin makasama eto…“Ano… kasi nga diba baka galit parin si Dad and you know how crazy dad is… baka mag away nanaman kami…” natatarantang pagpapaalala ni Cairan.Halatado naman sa mukha ni Cairan na hindi eto naging kumbinsido sa pagpapaliwanag ng dalaga.He just softly “Hmm” and then take out his phone para umorder ng makakain nila.Mabilis namang dumating ang inorder nila kaya naman ay nagsimula na silang ihanda ang pagkakainan.Walang kumikibo ni Isa, she feels like Cairan is ups

BUT, a part of her wants to have his presence… She kept back and forth because of cowardness, but Cairan is different from her. He is firm in his goals and word, kahit ano pang pagurong-sulong ni Astria sakanya ay naiintindihan nya at hinahayaan nya lamang. Was it because he really likes her or did he have other purposes? Hindi nya alam. She wants to doubt his kindness to her but she can't and the only thing that is clear to her mind right now is that… She's craving for his presence. Her heartbeat unusual. Pabalik-balik ang tingin ni Astria sa elevator at sa lobby door tila ba nag aalangan lumabas ng lobby sa di malamang dahilan. She wants to run through where Cairan is, hug him tightly and never let go. What is this feeling? she never had this kind of urge to Cian back then. Napabuntong hininga na lamang si Astria at pinilit na inihakbang ang mga binti papalabas ng lobby. Gamit ang perang hiniram nya kay Yuniña ay pumara sya ng taxi para makauwi sa bahay nila. Nang makara

NASA Kabilang ospital si Roxie, hindi pa eto nakakalabas dahil sa di malamang dahilan. Hindi naman kasi mabisita ng binata ang kasintahan dahil sa dami ng mga nangyari pero may mga hinire naman syang nurses at sitter for her.Hindi naman na nagrereklamo si Roxie, matapos nya kasing ipaliwanag ang mga nangyari lalo na ang pagkaospital ng lolo nya— mukhang naintindihan naman eto ng kasintahan.Basta daw ay bilhan nya nalang sya ng mga dagdag na bags and shoes sa collection, pang bawi ba.And it's fine with him, convenient pa nga. Mabuti nalang at may mabait at understandable syang girlfriend.She never made him feel embarrassed, inferior and ignorant.But now, his dad, Cael.

Napakagat-labi si Astria dahil sa naging tanong ng matanda. Hindi nya alam ang isasagot rito, gustuhin nya mang humindi ngunit ayaw nya namang magalit ang matanda… Napalinga si Astria ng maramdaman nya ang kung sinong tumutusok-tusok sa tagiliran nya. It was her dad, urging her to said yes. Ngunit ayaw nya…. Papaano ba sya hihindi sa matanda ng hindi neto ikakagalit ang mga sasabihin nya? Napalinga naman si Cian kay Astria nang hindi marinig ang sagot neto, nag aalangan rin ba sya? Oh… Kitang-kita ng binata ang pagtutol sa mga mata neto. Like him. Hindi nya alam kung bakit ganto ang nararamdaman niya ngunit hindi nya magawang magsaya na malamang pareho sila ni Astria na hindi gusto ang pinapagawa ng matanda. He feel pathetic. Lahat ng nasa kwarto ay nagaantay ng magiging sagot ng dalaga, nagwoworry din sila na baka maging dahilan ng pagtaas ng bp ng matanda ang magiging sagot neto kaya naman ay nakastandby ang lahat sa loob ng kwarto. Hindi makalimutan ni Cian ang mga mata

Hindi naman makapaniwala si Cian sa narinig na tinuran ng ama, so ganon? he just completely ignored him!?“Who the fuck is my wife!? Wife my ass! I don't want her to be my wife! kung gusto mo talaga sya bakit hindi mo sya pakasalan! I don't like her!” inis na asik ni Cian.Those last words na tinuran ni Cian ang ngayo’y nagpapaulit-ulit sa tenga ng dalaga.It was loud and clear, he didn't like her.Bigla namang bumukas ang pinutan ng elevator at kasabay noon ang paglabas ng halos iilang mga tao, tahimik lamang sila at tila ba ayaw makiusyoso sa nangyayari.Did they hear what he said?Halos manlamig si Astria, gets naman nyang hindi sya gusto ni Cian pero kailangan ba talagang iduldol sakanya ang mga yon? sa harap pa talaga ng pamikya nila at sa ibang tao?Can he just say that pag kami-kami lang?It was so embarassing as hell, gusto na lang magpatianod ni Astria sa lahat ng makaalis na.Wala na syang mukhang maihaharap sa ospital na eto dahil sa pagpapahiya ni Cian sakanya.In this sce

No wonder ganong ang naiisip nya sa kinalakihang ugali ni Astria because they're not a like at all, nasaan ang match made by heaven doon? He was free and she's not. He was adventurous but she was calm. He's playful but she's well behaved. A complete opposite of each other. Wala talagang patutunguhan pa kung magsasama sila, mas lalo lang maglalaman ang halos 20 years nilang pagkakaibigan. Pero kasi ang ikinakasama lamang ng loob ni Astria ay ang pagpapahiya ni Cian sakanya sa madaming tao. He know damn well how sensitive Astria is and yet… He do that shit infront of many people. He yell infront of her parents, his dad and other strangers that She's boring, no fun, killjoy and no personality at all. He even tell everybody that he didn't like her. And that's ok with her pero ang hindi ok ay ipahiya nya sya sa harap ng madaming tao. Maybe, he did that on purpose. Alam nya kasi kung gaano ako masasaktan pag-napapahiya. Maybe it was his so-called form or revenge that he alway

She can't fight back to Roy, so she tosses all her rage and anger to the Young Astria, because as a child Astria likes to cling on her mom at sya at sya ang nakikita ni Astella ng mga taon na iyon. She kept telling her na mas ok pa kung yung anak na lalake nalang nila ang nabuhay. It's better that Astria disappeared along with her brother. Or na sana ay lalaki na lang si Astria. One time ay malalang napagalitan nya si Astria nang tumulong eto na dalhin sakanya ang isang fertility soup na pilit pinapainom sakanya ni Roy dahil sa kagustuhang magkaanak ulit. And Astria accidentally drops it because of her being a weak child. She was in rage. The bowl Shattered on the floor at halos ang mainit na soup ay tumapon sa mga binti ng anak ngunit sa halip na tulungan ay pinagalitan nya pa ang anak. “What did you do!? Do you know what that soup is for!?” inis na asik nya. Tulong-luha namang umiiling si Astria, she was scared because her mom is mad and as the same-time ay sobrang

Kahit naman napakataas ng temperatura ni Astria dahil sa lagnat ay tila ba nanlalamig sya sa nga nalalaman. What if… just what if they can't payback dahil hindi nya gustong pakasalan si Cian??? Do… she really needs to sacrifice just for them??? Talaga bang matutulungan sila ng mga Funtaveriá? Kakayanin nya bang tumanggi knowing na ganto na ang financial situation nila? Why didn things turn out like this? “Paano na mom… if kinuha na ng bank yung bahay? saan na tayo titira nyan?” nag aalangang taong nya, natatakot sya sa magiging sagot ng ina. Mukhang di rin alam ni Astella ang mangyayari o talagang ayaw nya na lamang isipin. “hays… ewan ko ba. Hindi ko narin alam, Star sa totoo lang ay ayoko na ring isipin” tila ba hopeless na saad ni Astella sa anak. After their almost heart-to-heart conversations, Astria lost her appetite kaya naman napagpasyahan na ni Astella na iwan ang anak upang makapagpahinga. Binalot na ng katahimikan ang buong kwarto, nakatulala lang si Astria sa kis

She might looks behave and obedient to his mom pero her eyes is no longer the same back then in the paste, her eyes looks tired and uninterested.Hindi naman nagtagal ang pagdidiscuss nila Odette tungkol sa mga bagay at aalis na sana ng kausapin ni Cian ang ina nya "Mom, mauna ka nalang muna. Kakausapin ko lang si Astria".Odette just look at him with some hesitated eyes, maybe nabalitaan neto ang nangyari sa ospital noon, matapos ang ilang minuto ay nagsalita rin naman eto "Alright, be nice to Star ok? She's your fiancee now and sooner she will be your wife, Do you got it?""Yes, I know mom, I understand" inis na sagot ni Cian, he was really annoyed tuwing pinagsasabihan sya ng kung sino kahit pa ina nya eto. Umalis naman na ang ina nya kasama si Roy na ngayo'y hindi matanggal ang abot tengang ngiti, hinatid neto si Odette papuntang gate. Pero, bago eto umalis ay lumingon muna eto sa likod sabay sabing "Astria, prepare some drinks si Cian habang naguusap kayo" utos neto kaya napaira

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. Isa pa, Sure naman akong hindi mo kayang makitang maging parausan ng matanda yang nanay mo no? then, text that bastard that you will get engaged with her own damn step-brot

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. Huminga muna sya ng malalim m

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
