I’M HAVING A GREAT TIME eating my cravings while swaying my feet as I sat on the wooden chair outside the garden. It was already two in the morning, and I craved to eat two Cheeseburgers that have lots of Mayonnaise, and a Sunny Side-up Egg with two Egg Yolks while stargazing and feeling the cold night breeze. Napabaling ako kay Señorito Yuji na nakangiting pinapanood akong kumakain. Bahagya niyang inayos ang suot kong jacket para hindi ako masyadong lamigin. Hindi ko napigilang ngumiti dahil sobrang masaya ako na nakain ko ang aking mga cravings. Tinimplahan din niya ako ng Hot Chocolate Milk para hindi ako masyadong lamigin. Talagang nilutuan pa niya ako ng cravings para maging masaya ako. Sobrang na-appreciate ko ang kaniyang efforts. Pagkatapos niyang malaman na buntis ako ay talagang sinisigurado niyang nasa maayos akong kalagayan. Kulang na nga lang ay huwag niya akong pagalawin. Ayaw ko naman iyon dahil gusto ko rin na gawin ang aking trabaho habang kaya ko pa at hindi masyad
I WAS CATCHING MY BREATH as I awakened from an unexpected dream. I wiped-off my sweat on the forehead with the back of my hand. My face was flushed as my heart was leaping fast with the sudden emotion that I felt. I couldn’t believe that I dreamt of the hot stranger that I had shared a one-night stand with almost two months ago named Daxton. My dream seemed real, especially in the part of our heated sex. His brown orbs were staring at me darkly as he was on top of me. He even leaned closer as he whispered that he would find me again even if I hid before he gave me a deep kiss. Wala sa sariling napahawak ako sa aking maliit na baby bump at bahagyang hinimas iyon mula sa aking suot na bestida. Buntis na nga ako kung anu-ano pa ang napapanaginipan ko. Ngunit hindi ko maitatanggi na malakas ang karisma ni Daxton kaya’t walang pag-aalinlangan kong ibinuka ang aking mga hita at isinuko ang aking virginity sa kaniya. ‘Ang lakas ng kamandag ng lalaking iyon. Isang beses lamang kaming nag-s
I WASN’T SHOCKED that my pregnancy was revealed after what happened a while ago. It already spread like a wildfire in the Hacienda Gosiengfiao. However, it brought another dilemma in me, because they suspected that the man that impregnated me was Señorito Yuji. Lumabas na naman ang pagiging overthinker at judgemental ng mga tao kung sino ba ang ama ng ipinagbubuntis ko lalo na’t nakikita nilang naging malapit kaming dalawa ni Señorito Yuji. At buong akala nila ay mayro’n kaming relasyon ngunit magkaibigan lang naman talaga kaming dalawa. Medyo kinakabahan ako na baka umabot ang usaping ito kay Señora Jiarah at maniwala tungkol sa kasunangalingang iyon. Ayaw kong magalit siya sa akin kapag nalaman niyang hindi naman pala ama ng aking mga anak si Señorito Yuji ngunit ipinapaako ko. Señorito Yuji and Manang Juris insisted that I should take a day-off to take a rest. However, I’m really anxious that Señorito Yuji didn’t even bother to clarify about it. Instead, he wanted to let everyone
I DID WHAT WAS RIGHT. Everything that happened was really unexpected, especially the confession of Señorito Yuji to me. He even kneeled and pleaded to me to let him be inside my heart and life, and be the father of my babies. He was really desperate to say yes to him.Hindi ko alam kung gaano ba kabilis o katagal bago malaman na mahal mo na ang isang tao. Wala akong alam tungkol do’n. Ngunit ayaw ko namang lokohin ang aking sarili na puwede kaming maging magkarelasyon.Ipinaliwanag ko ang rason kung bakit ako tumanggi sa kaniyang alok. Ayaw kong masira ang aming pagkakaibigan. Ngunit kapag hindi niya tinaggap ang aking desisyon ay mas mabuting putulin na lang namin ang aming pagkakaibigan at manataling civil sa paging amo at maid.Like what Manang Juris said, pity and love weren’t the same. Both of us would suffer if there’s no spark and love in between us. And what matters to me right now was to give all my love and attention as a mother to my babies. ‘Masakit man tanggapin ang kato
I SMILED WIDELY as I caressed my huge baby bump. I’m already six months pregnant, and my babies were really energetic, moving and kicking that made me feel that I’m not alone in this world.Kahit na nagkalinawan na kaming dalawa ni Señorito Yuji ay hindi pa rin siya tumitigil sa pag-aalaga at pagbibigay ng mga vitamins, gatas at cravings ko. Habang si Señora Jiarah naman ay laging nakaantabay sa akin sa mansyon. Sinisigurado niyang hindi masyado mabibigat ang aking mga trabaho dahil baka mapaano ako. Sobrang na-a-appreciate ko ang pag-aalala at pag-aalaga niya sa akin. Binibigyan din niya ako ng mga regalo kagaya ng maternity dress at sandals para maging komportable ako. At lagi niyang pinapaalala na huwag akong magpapalipas ng gutom at nakakapagpahinga nang maayos.Gusto sana nina Señorito Yuji at Señora Jiarah na manatili ako sa mansyon para hindi na ako mahirapan ngunit tumanggi ako. Sobra-sobra na kasi ang naitulong nila sa akin. Ayaw ko naman na maging pabigat. At saka komportab
MY HEART CLENCHED IN PAIN as I looked unbelievably to my parents. They were no ounce of mercy and soul mirrored in their eyes. I couldn’t help but to laugh sarcastically as my eyes glistened in tears. I thought there was a little hope that they would love me, because they called me to return home as soon as possible. But I forgot how heartless they were to me. “You have no choice, but to accept it, Mary Anne. The deal was already signed, and I already sold you to Señor Adolfo in exchange for five hundred billion pesos. You’re now his soon-to-be sixth wife. Huwag kang magtatangkang tumakas dahil hindi ko hahayaan iyon. Bukas ng umaga ay susunduin ka ng mga tauhan ni Señor Adolfo. Umayos ka at huwag na huwag kang gagawa ng kahit anong kalokohan na ikasisira ng ating pamilya,” malamig na turan ni Daddy pagkatapos ibuga ang usok mula sa hawak na tabako. Mommy smirked devilishly while caressing her precious pet which was an Ivory Ball Python. “Be a good girl, and obey Señor Adolfo at all
THE FIRE OF HEAT AND DESIRE was all over Daxton and I. My insides were craving for him. And I couldn’t believe that I even shamelessly seduced a hot stranger for a one-night stand. With his fast-driving skill, we arrived easily to a nearby hotel where he checked-in a VIP room. I bet he was a car racer like me, and it added fuel to me to want him more. We were now heavily making out inside the elevator as we touched ourselves. The ride seemed like forever, and we badly wanted to feel and taste each other’s warmth. When we arrived in the room, we immediately get-rid of our clothes to be naked. Kinarga niya ako nang walang kahirap-hirap. Agad ko namang ipinaikot sa kaniyang baywang ang aking mga binti nang nagsimula siyang maglakad nang mabilis papunta sa kwarto. Halos kapusin ako ng hininga sa aming mainit halikan. Pareho kaming lasing na lasing at init na init para sa isa’t-isa. Nadadarang kami sa nag-aapoy na init na bumabalot sa aming katawan. He slightly kicked to open the door i
BEFORE THE SUNRISE, I immediately ran away after having a one-night stand with a hot stranger named Daxton. I took a little cash inside his wallet for my fare going back to Arum. I bet he wouldn’t notice it, especially that his wallet was full of black and gold credit cards and blue bills. He was sleeping soundly on the bed when I left the hotel room. No one suspected me, and I didn’t bother to speak to anyone, because all I wanted was to escape as fast as I could.I’m literally dealing with so much pain from my head to femininity as I hail and ride a taxi heading back to the Arum to get my motorcycle. I had no choice but to endure it or else he would chase me, and I didn’t want another problem to happen. Safe naman na iwanan ko ang aking motor sa parking lot ng Arum dahil marami akong kakilalang puwedeng magbantay. Wala rin namang magtatangkang magnakaw o gumawa ng kalokohan dito lalo na’t mahigpit ang nagbabantay dito. Nasa loob ng waterproof tail bag ang iba kong gamit kagaya ng w
