Take my Hand and Choose me CXLIII. Is he sincere?
“NANDITO NA pala tayo, you can stop here na” saad ng dalaga nang magising sa sinabi ni Cairan. Nandito na pala sila… It will be troublesome for her kung ihahatid pa sya ng binata papasok sa loob mismo ng village. Someone might see them and tell her parents, sure siyang di magugustuhan ni Roy eto or worse even the Funtaveriá's will make a fuss. Ayaw na nya ng gulo. Cairan seems to see her thoughts, she still didn't want others to see them together. Suddenly, he felt so annoyed. “Alright, I'll stop here” malamig na tugon ni Cairan matapos imaobra ang manibela paliko sa gilid ng kalsada. She's acting weird right now and it's really annoying for him, una umiiwas ng iwas ang dalaga sa kanya. She even wants to run away earlier, buti nalang talaga ay expected na to ng binata kaya maaga rin siyang bumaba incase na tumakas eto. How can she be more lovely and daring when she's drunk but at the same time when she's sober… she easily crushed his hopes and annoyed him… Her so

HE JUST stares at her and later on starts to say “Who sent you back?” It's just a 4 words but it makes Astria's heart beats so fast, naglalamig narin siya dahil sa pagkakaba. She didn't know what to say… It's disadvantageous to her if she say it was Cairan… “Is it Cairan?” he uttered that makes Astria flinched “Nakita ko siyang inabot sayo yung maleta mo kanina” dagdag pa nang matanda. It leaves Astria no choice, nakita pala sila ng matanda. “Ah… Yes po Lo, siya nga po yun… may work po kasi siya sa resort at pauwi narin kaya nakisabay nalang ako sakanya dahil urgent din meeting namin and mahirap humanap ng transpo sa resort” mahabang pagpapaliwanag ni Astria trying hard na wag ipahalatang kabado siya. “Really?” tanong ng matanda na tila ba hindi naniniwala sa mga sinabi nya “Alright, let it be. But still, Star, You should distance yourself with Cairan. You and Cian, his half brother's are engaged even if it's just a childhood engagement arrangement and sooner we want both

MATAPOS NANG usapan nila ng matandang Funtaveriá ay pumasok na rin si Astria sa bahay nila.Her parents aren't home kaya dumiretso nalang si Astria sa kwarto nya at nagsimula ng mag impake, nakita nya naman ang tshirt na hiniram nya kay Cairan noon.Napatitig nalang sya rito nang matagal and out of nowhere, she hug it.She didn't know why, sobrang gulong gulo talaga sya. Hindi nya alam kung talaga bang may nararamdaman na siya sa binata o masyado lang siyang naguguluhan dahil sa nangyayari.She didn't even know kung talaga bang sincere sakanya si Cairan…pero kasi… He said he can wait…Hay ewan!Yuniña said that She should be fair to him because the Funtaveriá’s and his mom aren't fair to him…Pero how? when people around her aren't fair too?And leaving her no choice, making her trapped.Like how world unfair to Cairan, ganon din sakanya. Mukhang si Cian lang talaga ang maswerte sa mundo, he can have anything, he was favored and loved. Even if he makes trouble, his family always m

HINDI NA nya kayang pigilan ang galit at pandidiri sa mga lumalabas sa bibig ng sarili niyang ama.How can her own damn father want his daughter to be bitch!? “Who cares!? you still hold the wife position legally if you guys are married! you have power! mga kabit lang sila! isa pa ang kailangan ko lang naman sayo ay ang posisyong makukuha mo sa mga Funtaveriá! Don't you know how big deal being their in-laws are!? I can get as much investment and loans as I want!” Sigaw pabalik ni Roy sa anak, halos umapoy na siya sa galit.How dare his own daughter talk back to him! so insolent!All he cares about is his damn company.Wala manlang etong pake sa kung anong magiging future ni Astria kung talaga ngang papakasalan niya si Cian.Anong gusto nya? hayaan nalang ang lahat even if her own husband might take a mistress— his true love in at pagmukain siyang tanga, magbulagbulagan?Is that what future her own dad wants for her?Nakakasuka.“What so good about being their daughters-in-law!

Lumabas na siya ng backyard nila at nakayukong naglakad papalabas.Hindi na nya alam kung nasaan sa dahil nakayuko lamang siya at patuloy sa paglalakad, her tears are starting to fall.Kanina nya pa pinipigil ang mga ito at ngayong alam niyang nakalayo na siya sa bahay nila ay nagsimula na etong magsilaglagan.Ngunit biglang may kung sinong humawak sa balikat nya dahilan upang mapahinto siya.Sa totoo lang ay binabalot siya ng kaba kaya hindi agad siya nakalingon, who the is that!? bakit siya nanghahawak ng may balikat ng balikat!?Gabi na at wala masyadong tao…The atmosphere is scary…“Star” tugon ng nasa likodan nya dahilan upang mawala ang kaba nya at mapalingon.Nagpatuloy parin ang pagbabagsakan ng mga luha nya, she looks so miserable right now.“What happen star? gabi na bakit nasa labas kapa? kailan ka nakabalik?”sunod-sunod na tanong ni Cian.Hindi siya pinag-aangatan ng tingin ni Astria at tatalikod na sana ulit para magsimulang maglakad ng hawakan naman ng binata ang pulsuh

BUMUNTONG HININGA muna si Astria bago ituloy ang sasabihin “Pero anong kapalit ng mga ginawa ko sayo? did I benefits from that? mukhang mas naging disadvantages pa nga sakin kasi akala nang lahat sayo ako, now that I want to find my own happiness your shadows are hunting me Cian!” halos puno nang sakit ang tono neto.“My father, he plan na ipakasal ako sayo para magamit ang reputasyon nyo at makapagloan siya sa ibat-ibang bangko kukuha din siya ng mga investors gamit ang pangalan nyo. That's what he wants, pinagpililitan nya sakin na gawin ko lahat para lamang pakasalan mo ko. He even tell me to undress myself and seduce you.” tumaas na lamang ang tungki ng mga labi ni Astria habang inaalala ang mga kwento at mga pinagsasabi sakanya ni Roy.Hindi naman madigest ng utak ni Cian ang lahat, ang daming nangyayari wala siyang maintindihan. What the hell is happening!?“Ahh—” Astria cut him off “Don't worry, I'm not a bitch and hindi ako easy na tao, I have principles. Also, don't worry d

HINDI NAMAN alam ni Astria ang gagawin, she was stunned hindi nya ineexpect na idadamay ng binata si Cairan sa away nilang dalawa.Ano nang gagawin nya? she didn't want na madamay pa si Cairan sa gulo nya…Napayakap nalang ang dalaga sa sarili at nagsimulang maglakad, gusto nya munang makalayo sa village nila kung nasaan ang lahat ng pinaguugatan ng problema niya.She kept wonder and wonder around hanggang sa nakalabas na siya ng village nila, balak nyang magstay nalang sa dormitory nila.Teka… Wait! Oh my god!Nagpapanic ang dalaga dahil kinapa kapa niya ang sarili ngunit hindi nya nadama ang wallet o maski cellphone nya sa bulsa ng pajama niya…Oh my god! kung minamalas ka nga naman talaga!“Arghhh! nakakainis! ang tanga tanga! I left my phone in my room! bwiset bwiset” naiinis na tugon ng dalaga at saka parang batang nagpapadyak sa daan.Ano nang gagawin nya! walking herself papuntang dorm e halos ilang oras pa ang aabutin nya bago marating yon.She didn't want to go back… ayaw ny

Nakita nya etong papasok na rin ng Entrada ng mall, nakasuot eto ng black fitted na turtle neck na nakatuck in sa slacks na suot suot nya.Why is he so pogi?Teka… Hindi pala dapat yan ang iniisip nya ngayon. Ang awkward ng goodbye nila kanina tapos ngayon hay jusko.Nahiya bigla si Astria, lagi nalang tuwing nanganailangan sya si Cairan at si Cairan ang tumutulong sakanya…Napaatras siya nang mapansing papalapit na sakanya ang binata.Shooks! He definitely saw her!Natataranta na ang dalaga, anong gagawin nya!?“W-Why… why are you here?” she nonsensely utter, nagmamalfunction nanaman ang utak nya.Seeing her currently appearance mukhang nahinuha naman na ng binata ang nangyari “Did you get home just to get beaten?” he asked.Kaya naman agad napahawak ng pisnge nya si Astria, to cover up her reddish face “N-no… I tripped” pagdadahilan nya ngunit halata namang hindi eto pinaniwalaan ni Cairan.Nakakahiya! it was a nonsense lie.“So… You tripped at mukha mo agad ang bumagsak?” he unbeli

Hindi na nakapagpigil pa si Astella, she broke down and rushed towards Roy para paghahampasin eto, she didn't even care kung gaganti si Roy sakanya. Ang bawat hampas ni Astella ay talagang tumatama kay Roy, magaan lang ang kamay neto ngunit ang mga kuko ni Astella ay sumabit sa balat ni Roy dahilan upang magkasugat at magdugo."You! how dare you uttered those words! hindi lang ikaw ang nawalan Roy, ako rin. Anak ko rin yon! Wala kang konsensya! Hindi ikaw ang pinaka nasaktan rito, ako yon Roy, ako! I carried that baby for Eight months! Pero ano bang alam mo!? eh bobo ka naman. You kept looking down on Us women pero tingnan mo yang sarili mo ngayon Roy, samin ka umaasa— kaming ng anak mong babae, umaasa na isasalba namin ang kumpanya mo! then whose the useless here? You're relying on woman for everything now. Sinong mas walang kwenta satin?" puno ng galit ang mga kataga ni Astella at patuloy na hinahampas at kinakalmot si Roy.Nagulat naman si Roy sa inaasta ni Astella, she looks like

"Hindi naman, sabi nang doctor ay baka daw binubog sya because of her bruises and pasa sa mga katawan nya kanina nang icheck sya ng mga doctor, her face is swollen. Kaya naman may mga nainfect at namaga na mga sugat that cause her fever right now" Saad ni Cia at mariing napapikit, hindi sya makapaniwala na kaya ng tito Roy nyang magawa ang ganong bagay.Hindi naman makapaniwala si Astria.Don't tell me.... binugbog ni Roy ang mommy nya!? Hindi sya nakapaniwala, naaawa sya sa kanyang mommy...Wala na syang pake."Send me the location kung saan sya nakaadmit ngayon" tanging sambit na lamang ni Astria.Cian took this as an opportunity for her to unblocked him."Unblocked me first, isheshare location ko sayo" seryosong saad pa ni Cian.Napakunot noo na lamang si Astria, she knew that Cian is taking this happening as an opportunity to be unblocked, pero wala syang magagawa. She needs to go kung nasaan ang monmy nya."Okay" saad ni Astria at ibinaba ang tawag.Si Astella naman ay nasa isa

He really achieved a lot kaya proud na proud si Astria, ilang taon lang ang tanda sakanya ni Cairan pero napromote na eto bilang isang director."Got slam? what does it mean?" seryosong tanong ni Cairan at nakakunot pa ang noo.So cute, he's so clueless. Pigil ngiti na lamang si Astria dahil sa cuteness ng binata. Bahala sya mag-isip."You're a techy, Use your 4g Internet" pigil tawang saad ni Astria."I use 5g" sagot naman neto at napaseryoso, hindi ba tuloy nakapagpigil pa si Cairan at napatawa na lamang dahil sa binata.Gulong gulo naman si Cairan at hindi alam ang nangyayari sa kasintahan.Matapos pa ang ilang minuto ay huminto rin si Astria sa kakatawa "Sige na, baka malate ka pa sa pasok mo" pagpapaalala ni Astria at kinuha ang coat nya na nakasabit sa stand."Ah, oo nga pala" Cairan completely forgot na aalis pala sya dahil sa kasintahan.Kaya naman sinuot na ng binata ang coat nya at pumasok sa study upang kumuha ng ilang papeles na inuwi nya pati ang laptop ay kinuha nya rin
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXIV. Mesmerized by his beauty
Astria woke up in her man's arm, napatitig nalang sya sa maamo netong mukha. After their talk na halos mag-iisang linggo narin ang nakalipas, their life began to be peace. It seems that they really communicate so well, ngayon ay halos malaya na sila, they even communicate when things get hard such as everytime na tinatawagan ng Psychiatric si Cairan because of his mom. Every time he go, sinasabi na nya sa dalaga... but still hindi pa sya neto sinasama and Astria understand why. He didn't want to shock her.And she respect that at hinayaang maging ready ang binata, she didn't rushed him.Anyway, simula din ng araw na iyon ay halos magkatabi na silang matulog dalawa gabi-gabi. Maybe their fight brings them closure to each other, kagabi kasi ay halos nagkwentuhan lang sila nang mga bagay bagay hanggang sa tuluyan na silang nakatulog."Done staring yet?" nagulat si Astria dahil lumingat lang sya para sana tingnan ang oras nang biglang magsalita ang binata at nagmulat ng mata.What!? he

He lift her up at dinala na kama.Kumalma naman sya ng ibinaba sya ng binata sa kama.Niyakap naman sya ng binata, hinalika ang kanyang noo, tungko ng ilong, at ang kanyang mga pisnge nang ilang beses ang ulit.Astria just stretched out her hands and touched the man's chest, dahil nga sa init kanina ay pinagpawisan silang pareho. Cairan's skin is kinda sticky from sweat but she didn't feel disgusted at all.It was the result of their burning love.She even leaned deeper unto his arms. Hanggang sa napahinto sya at tahimik na dumistansya papalayo sa katawan ng binata.He didn't seems to calm down yet.She's lost in thoughts ng magsalita si Cairan "You didn't belive me?" he uttered."No..." nag-aalangang saad naman ni Astria. She even bit her lips and for a moment, hindi na napigilan pa ang sarili at napatanong "Hindi ba uncomfortable pag ganyan?" pointing out about Cairans bonér."A little bit, but It's ok" sagot ni Cairan at ipinulupot sa dalaga ang kamay nya upang yakapin eto "Stop be

"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. Nanotice nya ang balak gawin ng dalaga kaya naman a

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

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.
Take my Hand and Choose me CCX. I... really want to stay with you forever
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
