Chapter 58: A Life Apart 2
“D-Dad?” Samantha croaked when she opened her eyes and saw her father standing at the bottom of the hospital bed.
Her eyes flew on the wall clock. It was just 7 in the morning.
“You’re early,” sabi niya ulit sa ama, sa namamaos na tinig.
“Charlie didn’t call me last night to say goodnight. I was worried. Tumawag ako sa bahay kanina. Luz told me what happened,” seryosong sabi ng Daddy niya. “I would’ve been earlier only if the chopper wasn’t delayed.”
Maingat na siyang bumangon sa kama bago singkit ang mga matang ipinaikot ang tingin sa silid. Wala sa couch si Bettina, kung naunang ginising ng Daddy niya at pinalabas o kusang nagpunta sa kung saan, hindi niya alam. But she’s sure, by the way her father was silently looking at her, she’ll be hearing some word from him about what happened to Charlie.
Nagbuga na siya ng hininga. “I know Dad an

Samantha drew Charlie closer to her chest when the cool late afternoon air swayed the swing they were seating on. Hapon na at malapit nang lumatag ang dilim. Patunay niyon ang pag-aagaw ng kulay kahel at bughaw sa langit. Nitong nakaraang ilang mga araw, nakasanayan na nilang mag-ina ang pagmasdan ang paglubog ng araw sa beach. Not only because watching the sunset from there is relaxing, but most importantly, that’s the only time she could have some real mother and daughter time with Charlie. Sa umaga kasi, madalas, ang Daddy niya ang kasama ng anak niya. After lunch naman, nap time ni Charlie. And during those times na hindi siya kailangan ng anak niya, sumisilip siya sa laptop niya to answer emails o ‘di kaya naman makipag-meeting kina Mandy at Bettina, just to check on their progress with their events. So this sunset watching they’ve been doing for a couple of days now is really the only time she gets to spend with Charlie. Hind
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 60: Questions 2
Sandaling napamaang si Samantha, tarantang pinaglipat-lipat ang tingin sa Daddy niya, kay Lucas, kay Charlie at lalo na kay Carlo na blangko man ang ekspresyon ay siguradong nagtataka dahil sa tanong ng Daddy niya.Anong oras na ba at ngayon pa siya naisipang i-hotseat ulit ng tatay at kapatid niya? At sa harap pa talaga ng bisita!She took in a sharp breath, trying to compose herself. “S-superhero. You’re Dad is a superhero so his identity is a secret, remember?” aniya, nakadirekta kay Charlie subalit pinaglilipat-lipat niya ang tingin sa Daddy niya at kay Lucas.Charlie’s eyes lit up before turning to Carlo. “Oh yes! I can’t tell you my Daddy’s name because it’s a secret,” anang anak niya, tinutop ng malayang kamay ang bibig.Carlo smiled. “It’s okay, pumpkin. All superheroes need to protect their identity. Right, Samantha?” Carlo shot a quick glance at her and g
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 61: Request
Hindi magkandaugaga si Samantha sa muling pag-oorganize ng mga files niya sa opisina. Today is her first day of work after her and Charlie’s two-week stay in San Gabriel. Kinailangan kasing magpa-check-up ng anak niya sa ospital kaya lumuwas sila. And since ang sabi ng doktor Charlie is healing well, nagpasya siyang sa bahay na lang nila magpagaling ang anak niya. Not that she’s rushing things, but she’s better off working for a little bit while taking care of Charlie. Maganda kasing distraction para sa kanya ang pagtatrabaho. Whenever she’s at work, her full attention is on her job at hindi sa kung anu-ano pa mang bagay, gaya na lamang ng mga walang hanggang katanungang bumabagabag pa rin sa kanya. She just needs to cut her hours in going to work so that she can still be with Charlie most of the time. Gaya ngayon, 4 hours lang siya sa office niya dahil nangako siya kay Charlie na bago mag-dinner, nasa bahay na siya. Wala pa rin kasi siyang nakuk

Hindi agad nakapagsalita si Samantha. Sandali siyang naguluhan. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit sa lahat ng magagaling at well-established events planner sa Pilipinas, siya pa talaga ang napili nina Aaron at ng fiancée nito.Siya, na nakipag-date pa kay Aaron more two-weeks ago, thinking that he might be into her now. Only to realize that Aaron was just fooling around with her when he already has a girlfriend and now a fiancée!Mabilis siyang umiwas ng tingin kay Kristine at sumulyap kay Aaron. He was looking at her intently with one hand on his pocket. Kaswal na kaswal ito kung makatingin sa kanya, na parang wala itong kasalanan. Na parang hindi ito nag-date ng ibang babae sa likod ng fiancée nito.And the jerk almost kissed her and she almost let her, willingly!Agad na bumalik ang gigil niya. Hindi lang para kay Aaron kundi para sa sitwasyon. Noong nasa San Gabriel sila ng anak niya, nagdesisyon na siya e. Sh

Agad na nataranta si Kristine sa sinabi ni Samantha, naguguluhan itong napatingin kay Aaron. “Babe,” mahinang bulong nito, tila nagsusumbong.Humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa IPAD niya. A familiar wave of hurt rose inside her chest.Stop it, Sam, she said to herself. Pero kahit na anong gawin niyang pagpipigil sa sariling h’wag masaktan, nasasaktan pa rin siya.Aaminin niya, noong nasa California siya, ilang beses niyang inisip ang eksena kung magkikita ulit sila ni Aaron. She wanted to be so irresistible that he’d be smitten with her and follow her like a mutt. Then she’ll play with his feelings, lead him on and drop him like a hot potato.She scoffed silently because none of those happened. Aaron entered into her life again like a whirlwind— taking her heart once again with him. And then… suddenly when she’s all caught up again, he’s getting married.Akala niya nagbago na siya. Pagd

“Why didn’t you tell me that clients were coming in today?” pigil ang emosyon na tanong ni Samantha kay Mandy.Katatapos lang ng meeting nila kasama sina Aaron at Krisitine. The date for the engagement and wedding is now finalized. Bukas at sa mga susunod na araw, kailangan na niyang kausapin ang mga suppliers nila at mag-book for the event. At ngayon pa lang, pakiramdam niya, parang hindi niya kaya iyong gawin.Truth be told, she’s angry—more to herself than the situation. Why? Because this wedding shouldn’t be a big deal. Never at all. But her stupid heart is making all the big fuss about it—all because she had stupidly allowed herself be fazed by Aaron again.If only she hadn’t been weak. If only she had thought things through and her reactions well. None of this would’ve happened. She would’ve been fine. She wouldn’t have been hurting. And she wouldn’t have been this confus

“How was it?” tanong ng Mommy ni Aaron sa kanya. His mother called him on his phone.“It went fine, Mom,” aniya bago pagod niyang ibinagsak ang katawan sa sofa bago nagbuga ng hininga.Kararating lang niya sa penthouse niya mula sa ilang oras na pagpaplano ng engagement party at kasal nila ni Kristine. Sanay siyang magplano. He does that every year with their annual planning and business meeting. Pero hindi niya inakalang aabutin sila ng ilang oras para lang sa pag-settle ng dates at theme sa engagement at kasal!Why can’t two people just get married and get on with their lives together, that simple!“Did you give Kristine what she wanted? Were you good to her?” pukaw sa kanya ng Momm niya maya-maya.He clenched his jaw. “Of course, mother. What do you think of me a heartless jerk?” he sarcastically replied.“Do not give that attitude Aaron Miguel! Kristine is a

“Sir, some of the board of directors and officers are not present. They have sent representatives, instead,” pagbabalita ni Diego kay Aaron habang nasa lift sila patungo sa conference room.Nasa opisina sila ng Valiant Shipping Lines and today is the first time that he will address the board and officers of VSL. The directors and head of departments will have to make a choice today, stay and be under the new management-- that entails demotion and other necessary business decisions-- or the easy way out, resign.He took in a sharp breath, trying to dismiss the doubts playing inside his head. Kung siya ang papipiliin, he’d never want to fire people like the way he did with his company four years ago. Dala-dala pa rin niya sa kunsensiya niya ang kunsekwensiya ng desisyon na iyon. He took away jobs from small people he doesn’t even know. People who had begged for him to reconsider. People who had worked so hard for their company when h
