That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 10: A Fight For Love 2
Ang malakas na pagtawag ng kanyang pangalan na nagmumula sa kung saan ang tuluyang nagpagising kay Gael. “Gael!” muling tawag sa kanya ng pamilyar na tinig. Boses iyon ng T’yo Berting niya. Unti-unti siyang nagmulat. Noon niya nagpagtanto na umaga na. Hindi naglipat sandali, the memory of yesterday filled his mind. Theo talking Charlie to somewhere and his boss putting him in a forced furlough without any clear reasons—relieving him from all his duties as an elite bodyguard of SSA. Not that he didn’t ask his boss Eric Samaniego. He did, dozens of times until he got all fed up and almost shot him in annoyance. Subalit iisa lang ang sinabi nito, kailangan daw nitong gawin iyon for smooth transition of things. He groaned and sat up on the cold floor he was in. His damn back was aching and his head was pounding. Napasulyap siya sa ilang bote ng beer malapit sa pwesto niya. That explains his headache. Smooth transition of things, paguulit niya sa isip. He scoffed. He knew his boss

Hindi mapakali si Charlie habang sakay siya ng sasakyan niya patungo sa St. Gabriel University. Today is the start of classes. She's now an official part of the graduating class -- a thing she had always looked forward to in the past. She initially dreamed of going to Oxford for her masters after she graduates from college. And after that, she will take the helm of SSL and lead it. It was a perfect plan. Well that was before. Before her life got all messed up when her future was decided for her by people other than herself! Mahigit isang linggo na mula nang makasagutan niya ang Daddy niya. Isang linggo na rin mula nang pumutok ang balita tungkol sa engagement nila ni Theo. Isang linggo na rin siyang grounded. Her father took her phone away. Pinagbawalan na rin siya nitong pumasok sa SSL. She's basically a prisoner in her own home Home. Mapait na ngumiti ang dalaga. Kung papipilii siya, gusto mina niyang umalis sa kanilang bahay. She felt suffocated there, voiceless. Gusto muna ni

"I heard my princess was crying so I came," ani Gael, masuyong pinunasan ang luha ni Charlie. Hindi na siya nag-aksaya pa ng oras at niyakap si Gael. His warmth and presence enveloped her in an instant. His arms felt like home. Her home. "I-I thought... I won't see you again. I-I thought you already l-left me." "I'm sorry, love. I had no way of contacting you. So I just took my chance to come here and see you. Sinabi sa akin ng janitress na dito ka madalas nagagawi kapag nasa campus ka dahil hindi madalas nagagamit ang CR na 'to." He explained in a hushed voice. He then told her about the talk he and her Dad had after she and Theo left that day. Ikinuwento rin nito kung ano ang nangyari sa trabaho nito. And her heart felt heavier with everything she had learned. "Sinubukan kitang puntahan sa mansiyon. But the guards won't allow me to go in," paliwanag nito sa naghihinanakit na tinig. She knew it. Gael just won't leave her like that. Not unless someone pushed him away.

"What did he do to you?" malumanay ang boses na tanong ni Gael sa kanya. They were parked under a tree na sa tingin niya ay parte ng isang natural park sa labas ng Maynila. They drove in silence for more than three hours. Ngayon lang sila huminto. Bumaling siya kay Gael. The storm in his eyes didn't go away, but it was more subtle now. She knew he was fighting his emotions. Siya rin naman. But what Theo did to her today was unforgivable. Hindi niya lubos maisip kung ano man ang maaring nangyari sa kanya kung wala si Gael sa malapit. "H-he k-kissed me and tried to..." Napahawak siya sa damit niya, sa may bandang dibdib. Theo almost touched her there. Gael cursed under his breath, gripping the steering wheel tight, his knuckles almost turned white. "I will not let this pass, Charlie. He will pay. He will damn pay for what he did to you today!" Humagulgol na siya, tuluyang napayakap dito. "P-please, Gael. Just let it go. A-ayokong mapahamak ka," panay ang hikbi na pakiusap

Tahimik si Charlie habang nakaupo siya sa waiting room sa bahay ng judge na kakilala ni Gael. She looked at the simple infinity ring on her finger as it slightly glistened against the soft light of the room she was in. She removed it from her finger and looked at the engraving inside the band. Palagi. Iyon ang nakasulat sa singsing. A promise of forever and always. Just a few minutes ago she made a decision that will change her life forever. She married Gael. Matapos pumayag si Gael na pakasalan siya, muli nitong tinawagan si Gray at pinahanda ang mga papeles na kailangan nila. She's glad that Gael has connections too kaya nagawa nilang magpakasal nang madalian at walang aberya. She knew marrying the man she had always loved is the best solution for her situation. It was the escape she was always longing for. Subalit bakit gano'n? She still feel troubled. Maybe because this is the first time that she defied her parent's will. This is the first time she was able to make a de

"What? Tonto! What am I paying you for? Hindi mo na naman inaayos ang trabaho mo!" singhal ng Mommy ni Theo sa kausap nito sa telepono bago tumingin sa kanya. Sigurado siya, kausap na naman nito ang secretary nito. "Well make a way! If you should move the heaven and earth just to get to that client, then do it. No! You do it or else you're fired!" He grinned. He really took after his mother's impatience. Kaya nga siya nagtataka kung paano niya natagalan ang sang gaya ni Charlie. Charlie. That stubborn girl. Naalala na naman niya ang ginawa nito kanina. He will make sure that she'll pay once he found her. He will bang her and taste every inch of that beautiful body of hers. Masyado na siyang matagal na naghihintay. And waiting is not even his cup of tea. His mother told him that marrying Charlie would be good for him-- for his image. So that he would gain the favor of her aunt's husband, the baron who doesn't really like him ever since. Kaya naman pinipigilan nito ang asawa ni

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

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
