2022-02-03 17:41:18Samantha didn’t know what to think or how to act. There were many emotions coursing through her. And her mind is muddled with so many questions. Iisa lang ang alam niyang gawin, ang umalis doon, sa harap ni Aaron bitbit ang anak niya. But her damn legs won’t work!
She wanted to kick herself in utter frustration!
Maya-maya pa, naglakad si Aaron palapit sa kanilang mag-ina. Her hand violently hammered inside her chest. Hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin nito sa paglapit nito. Napatingin siya kay Charlie na ngiting-ngiti. She’s praying hard to the heavens na sana hindi makita ni Aaron ang pagkakahawig nito sa anak niya or she’ll be doomed!
Nang tuluyang makalapit si Aaron sa harap nilang mag-ina, mabilis itong sumulyap sa kanya bago lumuhod sa harap ng anak niya.
“Hi, Charlie. My name is Aaron. I’m a friend of you Uncle Lucas,” pagpapakilala ni Aaron sa sarili nito.
Charlie beamed at him, like her daughter had known him for a

That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 81: More Secrets 2
Matapos ang hapunan, inaya ng Daddy niya si Aaron sa lanai para mag-kape. After dinner, she planned on taking Charlie to the entertainmet room para doon na ito magpa-antok. Pero may sariling palang plano ang anak niya. Sumali ito sa lolo nito at kay Aaron sa pakikipagkuwentuhan kaya wala siyang choice at pumunta rin doon.And now, there all seated on the coffee table while Charlie serves them with her invisible English tea.“Mr. Aaron, here is your tea. It doesn't have any magic but it’s hot,” sabi nito bago inabot kay Aaron ang laruan nitong teacup and saucer.“Thank you, teamaster, Charlie,” sabi ni Aaron bago kinindatan si Charlie. The gesture earned a giggle from her daughter. Hindi niya tuloy napigilan ang mapangiti.Maya-maya pa, magkasasabay na silang inabutan ni Charlie ng Daddy niya ng teacup sets, repearting what she said to Aaron. After that,they all indulged her kid to the play and took a sip o

Tensiyonado si Samantha habang nasa entertainment room sila. Aaron was still holding Charlie in his arms, her daughter not wanting to let go no matter how hard she tries. Kaya wala siyang choice kundi hintayin na makatulog nang tuluyan si Charlie. And with her daughter’s favorite movie playing, she’s sure kaunting oras lang ang ipaghihintay niya at makakatulog na ang anak niya.“When did she hurt her arm?” pabulong na tanong ni Aaron sa kanya maya-maya.She turned to him and willed her heart to not go into overdrive. Magkatabi lang kasi ang inuupuan nilang lazy boy and napakalapit nito sa kanya. His natural manly scent and presence enveloping her again, pushing her to the edge.“N-noong dinala mo ‘ko sa Tagaytay,” sagot niya, alanganin.Hindi ito sumagot. Ibinalik lang nito ang tingin sa malaking projector screen na nasa harap nila bago marahang hinagod ang likod ni Charlie. The caress he did to Charlie was

“That’s it! You can now play with both of your hands, Charlie,” masayang balita ni Dr. Tejada, and pedia-ortho ng anak ni Samantha.Lumuwas sila ng Maynila ni Charlie dahil kailangan nang alisin ang cast sa braso nito. They would have been earlier there kung hindi lang sila na-traffic na mag-ina. Ang gusto ng Daddy niya, mag-chopper na lang sila papunta ng Maynila at pabalik sa San Gabriel. Subalit tumanggi siya. Kaya naman niyang mag-drive. Besides, she wanted to talk to Mandy personally today for updates on their projects. She and her daughter would need to sleep in their house in Quezon City today for a day or two.Charlie buried her weight on her as the doctor tried to stretch her daughter’s injured arm. “No!It will hurt,” natatakot na sabi nito, lumabi.“Trust me, sweetpea, it won’t,” paniniguro ng doktor bago muli ay marahang inunat ang braso ng anak niya. Makailang beses iyong ginaw

Hapon na subalit hindi pa rin umuuwi si Aaron. Abala pa rin ito sa pakikipaglaro kay Charlie. At kanina kahit na nap time na ng anak niya, gising na gising pa rin ito at ayaw nitong matulog. Magagalit sana siya kaya lang she had never seen her daughter so happy while she’s playing with Aaron. At si Aaron naman ganoon din. Tila walang kapaguran sa pakikipaglaro sa anak niya at sa pagsagot sa hindi maubos-ubos na mga tanong nito.Funny how could Aaron and Charlie bond like that even without knowing their real connection with each other.Nang humapon, nag-aya si Charlie na maligo ulit sa pool. Inutusan niya ang isa sa mga katulong nila na samahan ang anak niya sa pagligo.“She’s a ball of sunshine,” ani Aaron maya-maya, ang mga mata nasa pool—na’kay CharlieThey were having a late afternoon snack beside the pool under the patio umbrella. Iyon ang unang pagkakataon na nagkasarilinan sila ni A

Tahimik si Samantha habang pinagmamasdan niya si Charlie na natutulog sa kama nilang mag-ina. It was a long day and she’s supposed to be tired.But tired isn’t exactly what she feels right now. She’s worried and afraid not just for herself but for her daughter—for her family.Kanina, habang tulala siya, Aaron quickly went on top of everything. Ito ang nagtawag sa mga kakilala nitong puwedeng tumulong sa sitwasyon niya. She would’ve done that herself if she wasn’t too shock to even move. Within an hour, their house was filled with authorities talking to her and taking her statements. Si Maj. Javellana mismo ang kumuha ng statement niya. At kahit na iniinterview na siya nito, kalat-kalat pa rin ang lohika niya.Kung hindi pa siguro umiyak si Charlie, she wouldn’t have snapped out of her shocked state.Nakiusap siya kay Aaron na ito na muna ang bahala sa mga pulis na nasa bahay nila because

Samantha was delirious. She was torn between reality and dreams as Aaron continued to kiss her with so much urgency and need. A part of her mind was telling her to muster all her strength and move away from him, but she can’t. She won’t.His kisses were drugging her, melting her resolve to let him go and do the right thing.She wanted him. Every fiber of her being wanted him. Wanted him so much that it hurts to know he belongs to somebody else.Maya-maya pa, bahagya siyang binitiwan ni Aaron. Confused, she gazed up at him and met his dark eyes as she lean her back on the door to support her weight. They were both breathless at halos sabay sila sa paghahabol ng hininga. Afterwards, his jaw clenched, as if trying to restrain himself from the many emotions coursing through him and were evident in his eyes. He lifted one of his hand and ever so gently brushed his thumb on her lips like she’s a wonder.“I want you, Sam. So

Malakas sa tainga ni Samantha ang pagtiktak ng orasan sa bedside table. But she’s not bothered by it anymore. She has been listening to it for more than an hour now while she stares blanky at the ceiling.She glanced at the window and saw that it’s still dark outside. She’s sure however that few more minutes, the sun will rise to start a new day.A new day.A wave of hurt rose on her chest as she repearted the words in her mind. Tapos na ang nagdaang gabi at magsisimula na ang bagong umaga. Ibig sabihin, si Aaron, pag-aari ulit ng iba at hindi na kanya.Bumaling siya kay Aaron na payapa pa ring natutulog sa tabi niya.She blushed when she recalled every single time they’ve made love last night. Pagod siya at halos walang tulog. The only sleep she got through the night where the small in between moments when she’d doze off to sleep because of exhaustion. But then again, once one of them should shift

Ilang minutong natahimik sina Sam at Carlo sa loob ng Range Rover. Honestly, kinakabahan siya sa kung saan siya nito dadalhin. But she trusts him. If her brother trusts Carlo, she knows she can trust him too.“Yes. Have it ready for us. We’ll probably be there in a few minutes,” she heard him talk to someone using his smart watch. “Yes. Dax will be coming. No, we’ll fly back from San Gabriel probably before lunch.”San Gabriel?Agad na dumiretso ang upo niya sa backseat ng Range Rover. Tama ba ang dinig niya, dadalhin siya nito sa San Gabriel?“You’re taking me to San Gabriel?” mabilis na tanong niya nang tapusin nito ang tawag sa kausap nito. Sumulyap ito sa kanya mula sa rearview mirror bago tumango. “But you can’t, Carlo! You can’t!” tarantang protesta niya.“You are safer there, Sam,” sagot nito, kalmado.“You don’

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
