Take my Hand and Choose me XXXII. she wants to explore and do things she never do.
"WHAT'S YOUR name pretty sis? can I get your number?" nakangiting saad neto habang nakalahad ang phone nang binatang si Zairo. Astria didn't jniw what to do... Should she give her number? after all, it's Cairan's friend. Mukha naman etong mabuting tao. Isa pa wala naman sigurong mali if binigay nya? well she wants to explore and do things she never do. She was about to reach his phone nang biglang humarang si Cairan sakanila at tinulak nang marahan ang cellphone ni Zairo "That's enough Zairo, she's not your type. Stop playing with her" malamig na saad nang binata habang malamig na nakatitig rito na tila ba winawarning-an ang binata. Napatingin tuloy si Astria sa kinaroroon ni Cairan, she can't see his face dahil nakatalikod sya sakanya. Woah, so he really treat everyone so coldly? but still it's a good thing na may kaibigan na ang binata, napangiti nalang si Astria sa isiping iyon. Now, he's not alone anymore unlike in the past. Kahit pa parang away-bati sina Zairo at Cairan th
Last Updated : 2024-08-30Take my Hand and Choose me XXXIII. Curiosity about his US life
HABANG NAGKEKWENTO si Zairo nang tungkol da buhay nila ni Cairan sa US, Astria was listening quietly. Astria is so invested to his stories at hinahayaan nalang si Zairo na magkwento, to be honest Astria is curious kung ano ang naging buhay ni Cairan sa US, is he happy there? living well? not being bullied or harrassed? She's worried na hindi rin naging maganda ang buhay neto sa US kahit pa nalayo na sya sa mga Funtaveria.He deserves to be happy. Naalala nya noon na minsan ay hindi binibigyan nang allowance ni Odette si Cairan or binabawasan neto ang allowance ni Cairan nung nasa US pa sya, Cael let Odette handle everything about family kasi kaya kayang kaya gawin ni Odette ang ganong bagay. She also heard that thing from Cian na pinagmamayabang pa ang maling ginagawa nang nanay nya, she's upset but hindi naman nya masabi yon dahil sa sa pagka-timid nya. As a powerless girl noon, she can't do anything about it. Takot syang maging against sa matatanda kaya wala syang magawa kundi ha

"TEKA, I'LL get our drinks. Anong sainyo?" tanong ni Zairo at hinubad ang coat nya at isinabit sa backrest nang upuan, ganon din naman ang ginawa nila Cairan at Astria. Ngumiti lang si Astria pero deep inside e nag-aalburoto na sya, wala syang alam na alak!? jusko teka ano nga yon, may naalala syang drinks na nabasa nya somewhere. "Ahhh... Ano, tequila sakin" mayabang na saad ni Astria not knowing that she's ordering a strong drinks. All she care is hindi ipahalatang wala syang kaalam alam sa gantong bagay, feel nya maapakan ang ego nya. Buti nalang at may nabasa syang drinks sa gilid gilid dito sa bar, lol. Life saver. "Woah, hard drinks agad. Take it easy, Pretty sis. Baka malasing ka agad nyan" saad ni Zairo sa dalaga pero nginitian lang sya ni Astria. Nakita din ni Astria na nilingon sya ni Cairan pero hindi nya na eto pinansin pa. Ay bahala na! To be honest, she's really trying herself hard na makibagay sa gantong lugar. She wants to be belong pero hindi nya alam kung

"H-HEY, ANONG hindi ko kaya!? looook! I almost finish this tequila oh! Watch me!" May pagkainis at pagmamayabang na saad ni Astria at hinarap ang binata. She took the glass na naglalaman nang tequila at ininom eto sa harap mismo nang binata, tila ba pinapakita sa binata na mali sya nang inaakala at kaya nyang uminom nang alak. She bottoms it up, drink till the last drop not minding the bitterness of the tequila. "See that? I drink it! bottoms up pa! I can drink tequila no, napapaitan lang ako dahil mapait talaga to!" pagmamaktol pa ni Astria matapos ibaba ang baso.Cairan didn't say anything and just stared at Astria. He knew it, kaya kumukulit na ang dalaga at dumadaldal dahil tinatamaan na eto nang tequila na tinungga nya. She's really a lightweight drinker, hay.Sa kabilang banda, si Zairo naman ay natutuwa sa nakikita nya, he's enjoying the view of her boss being annoyed at a tipsy girl lol, it's satisfying. He never saw his boss na magcare sa iba tulad nang pagtrato nya kay A

NABALIK LANG sa realidad ang binata nang mapansin ang pagbuka nang bibig ng kaharap nya, magsasalita ata eto. Teka, did she understand him ba? He doubt that one, In her state? ay imposible. Pero kung naiintindihan nya man for sure ay malilimutan nya eto bukas dahil sa pagkalasing.Inangat na nang dalaga ang ulo nya, nahihilo na sya kaya naman ay palikot likot ang ulo nya. Ibubuka na sana nang dalaga ang bunganga nya upang sumagot sa sinabi nang binata, She still understand what he said, hindi nya inexpect na ganon pala ang mararamdaman nang binata, Magsasalita na sana sya nang biglang tumunog ang telepono nya. Teka nga, ano bayan! apaka sagabal! she's ready to explain herself na e. "Tehka lang... Ashan nahba yung phone koh" may pagkalasing na saad nang dalaga at hinahanap ang bag nya. Nahihilo na si Astria, talagang lasing na sya at wala na sa wisyo. Matapos makuha ang cellphone ay tinitigan nya ang screen, kahit pa nagbublur ang paningin nya ay nagawa nya paring mabasa kung ka

MATAPOS IBABA nang dalaga ang telepono nya ay napalinga sya sa lalaking katabi nya, hindi nya alam bakit sya luminga rito, maybe he just want someone to talk. Ay Ewan! basta ang alam nya lang ay lasing na sya at wala na sa katinuan, haha. She wants to have fun!She innocently smiled at him nang makita nyang mariin ding nakatingin sakanya ang binata.His eyes are looking at her coldly pero she's not scared or threathened. She really find it strange dahil hindi sya natatakot sa mga tingin nang binata kahit pa malamig at intense ang mga tingin neto sakanya, His stares are not because of annoyance, domination or anger. O kaya, Maybe sanay na sya sa gantong tingin sakanya nang binata, ganon na kasi ang tingin sakanya ni Cairan kahit nung bata pa sya. Pero parang may something kasi sa tingin nya na hindi ma point out ng dalaga. Dami nya nang iniisip bat idadagdag pa yon? Ay ewan!Nabalot naman nang katahimik ang dalawa matapos ng staring contest nang dalawa kanina, wala naman kasi si Zai

HINDI NAMAN aware ang dalaga sa ginagawa nya sa binata, maya maya pa ay malalim na naman syang suminghot upang maamoy ang binata, she didn't know why she kept sniffing him pero nakakaadik kasi ang amoy nya.The cool and woody scent na nanggagaling sa binata ay sobrang nagpapakalma sa dalaga, her mind was mixed up with so many emotions earlier pero after sniffing him ewan pero narerelax sya she suddenly feel calm and safe. All she can think is napakabango nang binata.In her chaotic mind, isa lang ang nangingibaw sa isip nya "Kuya Cairan, why are you so bango" inosenteng ngumiti ang dalaga matapos hindi inaasahang banggitin ang mga katagang iyon. Hindi naman nakasagot si Cairan sa sinabi nang dalaga, he was stunned dahil hindi nya ine-expect ang mga ginagawa sakanya nang dalaga. She's so drunk to do bold things, kung may kakaunting katinuan pa ang dalaga ay sure ang binata hinding hindi nya eto maririnig mula kay Astria, she is timid and prim unlike right now.Tho, He is enjoying this

NAPATITIG NALANG ang binata kay Astria na parang batang naglilikot-likot para hindi nya masuot sa dalagaang blazer nya. It's really satisfying na makita ang side na ganto nang dalaga, for sure no one knows that she have this kind of attitude.She's like a child, throwing tantrums and making a mess. The most satisfying is that, sa tingin nang iba she is well mannered at mature pero pag dating sakanya ay parang nagiging ibang tao eto, bigla nalang syang nagiging makulit, hard to handle and tough girl para bang eto talaga ang tunay na ugali nang dalaga. Sinabi pa neto na ayaw nya na daw maging good girl at she really kept her words. Hirap na hirap ang binata na takpan ang basang damit ni Astria, she kept moving and moving. Pilit na inaayawan ang blazer na ipinangtatakip sakanya nang binata matapos non ay paulit ulit na sinasabi na gusto nya pa nang alak, She was really wasted this time, for sure. Nang walang makitang alak sa lamesa ang dalaga ay napagpasyahan netong tumayo at pumunta

Take my Hand and Choose me CCXXVIII. he's begging.
"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
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXXV.
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
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXXI. Star, I already live a long life.
"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
Take my Hand and Choose me CCXX. Live a life that you really want.
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
