That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 17: Danger 2
Hindi mapigilan ni Charlie ang panginginig habang inihihinto ni Gael ang sasakyan sa ilalim ng isang puno. They drove to a small dirt road, just a few hundred meters away from the highway. They were surrounded by bushes, hiding them from the view of anyone. It took them almost half an hour to reach there and shake the damn black car away. And now she can really feel the cold. Moreso, when there is a storm raging outside. "Take off your clothes, Charlie," nagmamdaling utos ni Gael.Sinubukan niyang tumalima subalit masyadong malakas ang panginginig ng mga kamay niya. Seeing that she was struggling, si Gael na ang nagtanggal ng mga damit niya until all that's left were her underwears. Gael reached for the backseat and took from there the big blanket they bought when they first went to the market before they went into hiding by the sea side. Ibinalot nito iyon sa kanya. But she still can't stop shivering. "G-Gael, i-it's c-cold," sabi niya. She heard him curse under his breath. And b

Agad napasinghap si Charlie, lumingo sa likuran ng sasakyan. There she saw a black sedan that was gaining its speed to their direction. “I will send men to hunt you and Gael, Charlie. And when you both are caught, I will make sure Gael will pay for his crimes. And you young lady, will surely know what it really meant when I tell you not to mess with me.”Tinotoo ng Daddy niya ang banta nito sa kanya kanina. He will chase them. And he won't stop until she surrenders. "Oh my god!" wala sa sarili niyang usal, tarantang muling bumaling kay Gael. Magsasalita pa sana siya but Gael cussed under his breath. "Keep your head low, Charlie. Now!" nagmamadaling utos nito. Agad siyang tumalima. Umuklo siya at mabilis na itinakip ang kanyang mga kamay sa kanyang mga tainga. Pagkatapos niyon, naramdaman niyang lalong bumilis ang takbo nila.A memory from the time she and her mother were kidnapped when she was still a kid resurfaced in her mind. But she quickly shut her eyes, willing the bad mem

Hindi maampat-ampat ang pagpatak ng luha ni Charlie habang nakaupo siya sa waiting area ng maliit na private hospital na pinagdalhan niya kay Gael.Halos kalahating oras na mula nang ipasok sa operating room si Gael. At hindi niya alam kung anong nangyayari sa asawa.Her mind and ears were silenced by the chaos inside her head. Marami siyang naiisip at inaalala.She took in a sharp breath and clasped her hands tighter. She wanted to pray but her mind cannot process any coherent thought. And so she just cried some more.Her heart was heavy with guilt. She will not be able to forgive herself should something happen to Gael.Muling tumulo ang luha niya sa naisip at niyuko ang wedding ring nila ng asawa.Palagi.Yumuko siya at muling humagulgol. Ayaw niyang maramdaman na nagsisisi na siya sa ginawa niyang pagpapakasal kay Gael because she loves him so much. And with everything they’ve been through for the past two weeks, she loves him even more. But she can’t stop thinking that if she had

“Nasabi na sa akin ni Ms. Sandejas kung ano ang nangyari sa ‘yo, Gael,” umpisang pahayag ni Sir Eric kay Gael nang sila na lang dalawa.Inipon niya ang lahat ng lakas niya upang makaupo siya sa kama. “Mrs. Estrada,” sagot niya pagkatapos.Nangunot-noo ang boss niya. “What?”“Charlie is Mrs. Estrada now, Sir. I married her,” seryosong pahayag niya.Bumagsak ang balikat ni Sir Eric, sandaling sinapo ang ulo bago umiling-iling.“Kailan pa?” tanong nito nang muling mag-angat ng tingin.“Two weeks ago. Mula nang umalis kami nang Maynila. Tinulungan kami nina Gray at Judge Almazan,” paliwanag niya sa mababang tinig.Sir Eric huffed, muling umiling. He knew his boss will have this big talk with his son and his uncle, the judge. “Anyway, nasabi sa akin ni Ms. San—ng asawa mo na may mga humahabol sa inyo kaya ka nabaril. Do you have any idea about the identities of these men?”He blinked a few times, battling with himself if he’d tell his boss on not. “Sir Aaron threatened Charlie that he’d hu

Charlie can't help but smile while she's checking on her new ink on her ring finger. Actually, it's the only tattoo she has and probably she will ever going to have in this lifetime. Getting inked is painful. Nang sabihin ni Gael na matching tattoo na lang ang ipapakit nila sa nawala niyang wedding ring, muntik na siyang mag-walk out sa shop ng local tattoo artist na pinuntahan nila. But Gael held her hand the whole time. And now that she's seen the the final output, she's more than glad that her husband talked her into it. Palagi. Always. That's the word they had tattooed on both of their ring fingers. When all of the chaos they’re facing are over, she promised herself that she will be a good wife to Gael-- loving and taking good care of the home they would build together. She will be a good mother. She'd allow her children to make choices for themselves. A thing she felt she was not able to do freely growing up. Agad na bumigat ang dibdib niya nang maalala ang mga magulang

"Saan daw po nagpunta? Wala pong sinabi kung kailan ang balik?" narinig ni Charlie na tanong ni Gael sa katulong ni Dr. Andres. Naroon sila sa bahay ng doktor upang sana magpa-check up. Subalit mukhang wala roon ang doktor. She's was having an upset stomach for 2 days now in a row. At sobrang nag-aalala na ang asawa niya sa kanya kaya naman pumayag na siya sa hiling nito na magpa-check up. At base sa narinig niyang usapan ni Gael at ng katulong, baka kailangan nilang humanap ng doktor na maaring tumingin sa kanya. Maya-maya pa, bumalik na sa kotse si Gael. Umayos naman ang pagkakaupo niya sa passenger's seat. The car is older than that of Gael's car kaya hindi siya masyadong kumportable sa upuan niya. Sir Eric exchanged Gael's car with that old one as part of their precautionary measures while they settle there. "Kailangan daw nating pumunta sa susunod na bayan para magpacheck-up sa doktor na kakilala ni Dr. Andres sabi ng katulong," ani ni Gael nang makaupo na ito sa driver's

“Where are we?” paos ang tinig na tanong ni Charlie kay Gael. She just woke up from sleep and she can almost see the sky filling itself with different kinds of colors—ready to welcome the rising sun. She stretched her back a little as she roamed her eyes outside of the moving car. Her brows instantly furrowed as she was seeing familiar buildings and landmarks around. It seemed like they were back in the city. Napakurap siya? Are they really back in the Metro? Awtomatikong kumabog ang dibdib niya sa naisip, tarantang bumaling sa asawa. “G-Gael, are we back in Manila?” naguguluhang tanong niya. Gael glanced over at her and gave her a small smile. Subalit imbes na sagutin ang tanong niya, “Nakatulog ka nang maayos? Are you feeling better?” anito. Naguguluhan man, wala sa sarili siyang tumango, kumurap-kurap. She was going to ask him again when they passed by SGU’s majestic main gate. Lalong kumabog ang d*bdib niya. She felt numb for a while. They can’t be back in the city. Lalo si

Ilang sandali pa, natanaw na niya ang dulo ng daan ng tinatahak nila. It was a clearing on the edge of the mountain. A chopper was seating in the middle of it. “Gael, kanino ‘yong chopper?” tanong niya ulit. But like the first question, he didn’t answer. Maya-maya pa, itinigil ni Gael ang sasakyan ilang metro mula sa chopper. Walang imik itong bumaba ng sasakyan bago siya pinagbuksan ng pinto. She’s still confused and full of questions but she did climb out of the car anyway. Gael quickly cupped her face as soon as she was able to stand. His beautiful gray eyes were filled with sadness. “G-Gael…” “I am doing this because I love you. So much. I am doing this for you, Charlize,” he declared in a hurried voice. Her brows furrowed. “I-I don’t understand, Gael. What are you—“ Her next words remained lodged inside her throat when she saw familiar faces coming out of the chopper. Una niyang nakita si Axel, kasunod nito si Jacob. Then her father’s assistant, Diego. Agad siyang pinan

Dahil na rin sa pagod sakakaiisip at kakaiyak, tuluyang nakatuog si Charlie. Nang magising siya, madaling-araw na. She can’t believe she slept that long and missed dinner!Dinner. Shes' not supposed to miss any meals!She secretly groaned, realizing what she did.That has sent her to the edge of panic and relief all at the same time. Sandali siyang nakiramdam. Gael wasn’t cuddling her like he used to. She turned to her side carefully and she saw her husband sleeping on his side too facing away from her. Napalabi siya. Mukhang nagtampo na talaga sa kanya ang asawa.Hindi bale, today is officially their anniversary. She can tell him her secret now.Mabilis niya itong niyugyog. “Gael, wake up,” she whispered.He groaned, shifted slowly and lied on his back. Singkit ang mga matang tumingin ito sa kanya. “W-What? What is it?”Umusog siya kaunti palayo rito. “You have to get up. I’ll tell you something.”He huffed and clicked his tongue. Subalit bumangon din. Sandali itong bumaling sa orasa

“Again? Pero puno pa ang fridge niyan, love. Nakita ko kagabi nang bumaba ako sa kitchen,” reklamo ni Gael kay Charlie nang muli siyang maglagay ng dragon fruit sa cart. They were out grocery shopping in a local grocery store in Cancun. They have been staying there for a week now in celebration of their second wedding anniversary. It was a trip she didn’t really want to take at first because she easily gets tired lately. But when Gael told her that she will call the shots every time, she was in in no time.She rolled her eyes and faced him. “Can’t you get it? I’m not buying them for me to eat. I’m buying it because they looked cute,” pagrarason niya, muling naglagay ng dalawang piraso pa ng nasabing prutas sa cart.Gael huffed. “Should I buy you a dragon fruit farm?”“Of course not!” sabi niya, muling naglakad sa aisle ng prutas na kinaroroonan nila.“What about a grocery store then? You want me to purchase this grocery store for you?”Namawaywang na siya at hinarap ang asawa. “You

“Are you ready?” tanong ng Mommy ni Charlie sa kanya.She filled her lungs with air and gave her mother a slow nod. “Yes,” she replied smiling.Gumanti ng ngiti ang Mommy niya, nangingilid ang luha. Masuyo pa nitong inabot anag kanyang pisngi. “I wish you all the happiness in the world, sweetheart.”“Thanks, Mom,” sabi niya bago niyakap ang ina.They stayed like that for a while bago sila nakarinig ng katok sa pinto. “Hey, the music’s starting and all the guests are waiting. Don’t tell me may balak ka pang itakbo ‘yang anak mo, Sam,” said her father’s familiar voice outside the door.Natatawa nilang binitiwan ng Mommy niya ang isa’t-isa. Sandaling nitong pinunasan ng panyo ang gilid ng mga mata nito bago siya muling nginitian. “Let’s go. Your Dad cannot wait to give you away… officially,” pabirong sabi ng Mommy niya bago inabot sa kanya ang kanyang bouquet.When her mother opened the door to her room, she was met by her father’s loving gaze. “Finally,” anito, nakangiti. He gave her

“Ate, sa ‘yo na po ito,” anang sampung taong gulang na batang babae sa kanya. The girl was handing her a big white gumamela flower she probably picked near the gate of the orphanage. Napangiti siya, bahagyang yumuko bago tinanggap ang bulaklak na inaabot ng bata. “Talaga, akin na lang ‘to… ano nga ulit ang pangalan mo?” “Chamy po, ate.” “Salamat, Chamy.” The child gave her a soft smile in return. Akma na sana itong tatakbo pabalik sa mga kalaro nito sa ‘di kalayuan nang pigilan niya ito. “Ano nga palang gusto mong maging paglaki mo, Chamy?” The child beamed at her.“Gusto ko pong maging nurse, Ate!” Sandaling nangunot ang noo niya. “Bakit naman nurse, Chamy?” “Gusto ko po kasing alagaan si Lolo Gael d’yan sa kabilang building.” Lalong nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya. “Lolo Gael?” Mabillis na tumango si Chamy. “Gael lang po kasi ang alam niyang banggitin. Kaya Lolo Gael.” Tumuwid siya ng tayo, hinayon ng tingin ang building ng carehome sa mga matatanda na naroon din sa compoun

It was a manic day for Charlie. No. It was chaos spelled in all caps.She’s running late from her appointment “Hey, slow down, beautiful. You’ll hurt yourself,” nakangiting sabi ni Gael sa kanya, sumandal pa sa hamba ng pinto ng walk-in closet niya.“Go away, Gael. You know I cannot be late today,” sabi niya habang naglalagay ng sunscreen sa mukha. Gael chuckled. “Bakit, hindi ka naman late a. You still have at least an hour and a half to spare.”She scoffed and picked up her blush powder. She won’t wear her full make-up today. “An hour and a half spare that I’ll spend for travel. You know how’s Manila traffic in the morning, Gael. It’s one of the worse and I can’t afford to be late today. Nakakahiya sa orphanage at carehome! At lalong nakakahiya kay Ate Sophie.”It’s true, kasama niya sa pagpunta sa bahay-ampunan at carehome ang kapatid ni Jasmine ngayon. Siguro, kung hindi lang kapapanganak ni Jasmine, baka kasama rin niya ito ngayon.Visiting orphanages was a thing she had been d

Gael jumped out as soon as the car pulled over infront of the police station. Doon sila dumiretso nina Gray at Jacob mula sa simbahan. Aside from Lena, wala nang sino pa mang nasaktan sa masamang insidente na plinano ni Alaric. And it was more than a relief for him. Now he can focus on one thing, ang puntahan si Charlie sa mismong police station.Pahapyaw nang sinabi ni Jacob sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari, subalit hindi pa iyon buo. And not only does he need to talk to Charlie for the full details but he also needs to see his wife to calm the lingering worry in his chest. The picture of Lena dying in his arms was still vivid iin his memory. And he cannot stop thinking that, it could've Charlie dying in his arms and...He shook his head, willing the unwanted thoughst away. Charlie is fine, he convinced himself before picking up his pace. He was at the director’s office in no time. Agad naman siyang hinarap ng pinuno ng kapulisan. Sandali niya itong kinausap at sinabi nito mismo sa ka

Sandaling namanhid si Gael sa kanyang nasaksihan. Panandalian niyang kinumbinsi ang sarili na imahinasyon niya lang ang lahat. Na nasa maayos na lagay si Charlie at walang kaguluhan na nangyayari sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. He even tried to blink a few times—willing the dreadful scenario away from his head. But when he opened his eyes, his bride, his wife still laid there on the cold ground, bleeding.With his chest constricting, he tried to stand up, wanting to go to Charlie as soon as he can. But his bodyguard nearby kept him from doing so. Anger burned his skin in an instant. He had to go Charlie and no one, not even the damn death god himself could prevent him from doing so.He turned himself onto the ground, lying on his back, and gave the bodyguard hovering over at him a straight jab to the jaw. Napaupo ito, bago siya mahilo-hilong binitiwan. He took that chance to crawl his way to Charlie, who fell near the entrance of the church. ‘I like the water, Kuya Gael. Can you t

Hindi matapos-tapos ang pagsipat ni Charlie sa sarili niya sa lifesize mirror na nasa kanyang hotel suite. Hindi pa rin siya halos makapaniwala na naroon nga siya at ikakasal ulit kay Gael. This time in a church and in the presence of their family. Well, some of their family. But nevertheless their families are present and that’s the most important thing.She looked down at her ring finger. The emerald engagement ring and the ink she had five years ago are there, a testament of everything she had gone through loving Gael. But she’s glad she finally made it right there at that very moment, when she can declare to the whole world that Gael is hers as much as she is his. That in the world of broken promises and dreams, of heartaches and of tears, Gael is her always—the one she will keep on choosing to love as long as she breathes.Her phone rang, immediately stopping her train of thoughts. Agad na nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya nang mag-register sa screen ang pangalan ni Gael. She picked

Kanina pa nasa harap ng salamin si Gael subalit panay pa rin ang pag-aayos niya sa kurbata ng kanyang suit. The damn thing just won’t align! Frustrated, he took it off altogether and huffed. He’s anxious for some unknown reason. Gray, who arrived last night, said at it must be the wedding jitters but he refuses to believe so. He’s just on edge because he didn’t get to see his wife and son for hours now. Sneaking in at Charlie and Levi’s hotel room crossed his mind a few times last night. With his skills as a former elite boduyguard, he could do that with no sweat involved. But his grandfather gave him a talk about keeping his word and just wait until it’s time for them to meet at the altar again. Subalit naging sobrang napakahirap niyon sa kanya dahil sa iisang hotel lang silang naka-check –in na mag-anak—just different floors. Idagdag pa na talagang makulit si Tala at panay-panay ang pagbabantay sa mag-ina niya, h’wag lang niyang makita ang mga ito. Gray told him to have a little
