“Sulit ba ang bakasyon?”

Bumungad ang isang mapang-asar na ngiti ni Trisha sa ‘kin pagkauwi ko kaagad. Supposedly, kahapon pa sana ako uuwi but Ashton wanted to spend more time with me. I sacrificed the time for my daughter for him. I stopped myself from smiling as I remembered what happened between the two of us for the past few days. I still could not believe that it happened. I still felt like I was daydreaming.

“Mama!” Maia excitedly hugged me with so much longing. Kahit may kabigatan ay agaran ko itong niyakap at kinalong. Hinagkan-hagkan ko pa ang malalambot na mukha nito. Masyado kong namimiss ang chikiting na ‘to!

“I miss you so much, baby!”

“Mama, are you with Tito Lollipop? Is he going to be my Papa?” Mabilis at dire-diretsong tanong nito kahit na nagkabulol-bulol ang paraan ng pagsasalita. Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti sa ka-cute-an nito.

I do not gave her a reply. I only smiled at her. “Anak, stop thinking about that thing muna ha. Are you done eating? Studying? Or pla

    “Ashton, are you insane?! You will not take that woman home, Ashton! She has a child! And it's not yours! Why would you feel obligated?” Isang malakas at galit na boses ang bumungad sa tainga ko pagkalabas ko sa pintuan ng room namin. Agad kong sinara ang pinto at bumalik sa hospital bed kung saan naka-upo si Maia habang pinaglalaruan ang stuffed toy na kakabili lang ni Ashton. We looked like a real family here. How I wish this moment is could be true. “Mama, are we going to Tito Lollipop’s house?”“Yes anak,” kumpirma ko kahit hindi naman sigurado. I played with Maia until Ashton went inside. Kalmado parin ang mukha nito ngunit may kakaibang emosyon ang kaniyang mga mata. Hindi ko kayang mabasa. Hindi ko mabasa. Ang hirap niyang basahin. “Are you okay?” Nag-aalinlangan pa akong tanungin siya. He leaned first to kiss my head before replying my question. “Yes, I'm okay. We're good to go.”I held Maia’s hand before going outside the room. Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag nang makitan

    “You can only choose one, Malia. Is it Ashton or your daughter?”Fear crept my whole system the moment I opened the envelope. It was a photos of my daughter from our home, in the playground of her school, inside her room, in the canteen, and even when Maia headed to the comfort room. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa papel dahilan ng pagkagusot nito. Mula sa takot ay napalitan ito ng galit. She can insult, disrespect, and hurt me as long as they can but not my daughter! As long as I am standing alive and breathing, no one can touch my daughter. Not her!I slammed her table and she looked shocked. She even slightly jumped on her swivel chair. It looked like she never expected that a mere woman, named Malia would do it in front of her. Kitang-kita ng mga dalawang mata ko ang gulat sa mukha niya. Hindi niya ini-expect na magagawa ko iyon sa harapan niya. Bakit naman siya mag-i-expect? Hindi naman ako ganito dati!“Huh! Are you really that lowly class?! Ano pa ba ang gusto mong kunin sa akin?! Iyo

    My mind went blank. My vision darken and became blurry. I felt like my strength were washed away because of the news. Until I found myself sitting outside the school premises, in the waiting shed. My knees trembled and my hands were shaking as I bit my nails. I don't know what will I do next. Ano na ang mangyayari sa anak ko ngayon?! Paano kung may mangyaring masama sa kaniya?! Ano na ang gagawin ko ngayon?! This is my fault! I did not choose my daughter! Hindi na ako halos makahinga sa sobrang kaba. “Hey, it's Ashton.”“Malia, it's me, Ashton.” Hindi ako makapapaniwalang tumitig kay Ashton. Paano siya kaagad napunta sa harapan ko? Kanina palang ay kausap ko siya sa phone. Kung hindi niyugyog ni Ashton ang aking balikat at mahinang tinapik ang mukha ko ay hindi ako matauhan. Bumuhos ang luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan nang makita ko ang nag-aalalang mukha ni Ashton. “A-ashton...” I stated his name, crying more as he kept wiping my face to dry from tears. “Hmmm?” he softly answered

    “How is he?” I asked Rouger through the phone. I was planning to visit Ashton yesterday ngunit hindi ko maiwan-iwan si Maia. Kaunting kibot lang ay umiiyak kaagad siya. So, I called Rouger while preparing to visit Ashton today. Hindi naman ako masyadong nag-aalala kasi bantay sarado naman ang mga magulang niya. Hindi ko lang talaga kaya na hindi makikita ang kalagayan niya ngayong araw.“The operation was successful. Hinihintay nalang namin na magising siya,” he replied. I sighed, “Thanks God!”“Thanks, Rouger. Papunta na kami ni Maia diyan,” I added. “My boss instructed me to keep my eyes on you and Maia. It's not still safe for the two of you to roam around. The police still keeps chasing the sindicate. Ako ang mapapatay ni Bossing nito kapag may mangyaring masama sa inyong dalawa,” mahabang paalala niya. I laughed a bit. Halatang-halata na ang stress sa boses nito. Sino ba namang hindi?!“Don’t worry, Rouger. Sasamahan naman kami ni Trisha.”“Ano ba talaga ang nangyari?” I curiou

    “Are you mad?”I glanced at him while unpacking our things. My attention shifted on Maia who's now busy and delightfully playing her newly buy toys. Hindi ko pinansin si Ashton. Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang pagtupi ng mga damit at inilagay iyon sa closet niya.“Please, love. Don't be mad, hmm?” My knees almost weakened when I hear his sweet voice. Nag-baby talk pa siya para lang maglambing. Tss. Napakalanding lalaki. Akala niya madadala niya ako sa paglalambing niya. E talaga namang madadala niya ako sa kaunting paglalambing niya. Siya na ‘yan e! Si Ashton na ‘yan e! “Ewan ko sayo!” I hissed at him.“Bakit ba kasi gusto mo ditong umuwi? E may bahay ka naman! Mas mabuti nga ‘yon—,”I couldn't finish what I supposed to say when he hugged me gently and sniffed my neck. He even groaned while slowly rubbing his into mine. My body shivered because of what he did! Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at mahinang siniko. Napakalandi talaga ng lalaking ‘to! May sugat na nga lumalandi pa! Ang sa akin lang

    “Do you want something? Anything you want?” Malambing na boses na tanong sa akin ni Ashton habang ako ay nasa loob ng comforter. Nakapulupot sa akin ang comforter. I don't know why I suddenly not feeling well. I already had an idea but I chose to ignore it. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ako komportable at mapakali. Kaya ko tinawagan si Trisha para makasiguro. Ayokong mag-assume. Baka masaktan lang ako sa huli. Ashton was patiently looking on me, waiting for me to say something. Wala naman akong gustong kainin or something. I just want to rest. I was in the mood to entertain someone today. Kaya hindi ko pinapansin mula kanina pa si Ashton. “Please keep your eyes on Maia, Ashton. I'll just sleep for a while.”“But—,”I covered my head with a comforter to silent him. I heard him sighing heavily when he leave the room. I don't know how long I was sleeping. Nagising ako sa malakas na boses ni Trisha. Kailangan ko pa talaga siyang papuntahin dito para makasiguro. Si Trisha lang ang pinag

    “Can we talk?” si Melizza. I glared at Ashton beside me. I clearly told him that I don't want to see and to talk to Melizza but he insisted! He just smiled before leaving us inside the room. Melizza walked and stood beside me. Her eyes surveyed my situation. I looked at her blanky and with indifference. I still couldn't believe that the two of there were married while Ashton and I were married too. How come it happened?!“I-im sorry, Mals—,”“Don’t you dare call my name again, Melizza. You broke the strings that ties us together the moment you married Ashton,” with cold voice, I warned her when I saw Ashton leaving the room. I scoffed at his confidence leaving me alone in this room together with Melizza. Melizza is my best friend before. That was before. She's not my best friend anymore and I don't want her to become my friend again. I don't know anymore what she's capable of. Baka kaya akong saktan ng babaeng tinuring ko na kapamilya.

    Today was a long day. Sobra akong napagod kaya hindi na ako magtataka kung pag-uwi namin ay humiga kaagad ako. No wonder after I lounged myself in my soft bed, I immediately drowned in a deep sleep. Kinabukasan, maaga na namang umalis si Ashton. Mukhang ang dami niyang aasikasuhin ngayon. Wala akong magawa kundi ang bumuntong-hininga pagkatapos kong maghilamos. Ang tahimik ng condo paglabas ko ng kuwarto. Pagtingin ko sa orasan, mag-a-alas diyes na pala ng umaga. Kapag ganitong oras ay nasa paaralan si Ate Lea. Binabantayan si Maia. Mag-isa na naman ako ngayong araw. Alas singko pa kasi ang uwian ni Maia at Ate Lea habang si Ashton naman ay alas otso o ‘di kaya ay mag-o-over time na naman siya ngayon. Palagi nalang. Mukhang marami talaga silang tatrabahuin ngayon. Kitang-kita ko kasi sa mukha at kilos niya na marami siyang trabaho. Dagdag pa na narinig ko talaga ang pag-uusap nila ni Rouger kagabi. Malalim akong humugot ng hininga nang mapagtantong sa sobrang busy niya ay halos wala n

    ASHTON'S POINT OF VIEW“What the hell are you doing with your life, Ashton?!” My Mom's angry voice greeted me as I step my foot inside our house. Here we are again. I just shrugged and went straight to my room. Nabalitaan niya kasing halos bagsak ko lahat ng subject ko ngayong school year. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin at dumiretso nalang ako sa paghakbang papunta sa loob ng aking kuwarto. Isang mahabang litanya na naman ‘to. Ang tagal pa naman niyang tumigil. I just wonder how mothers can't be tired of rebuking all throughout the day or even the whole night! Ako nga ay napapagod sa simpleng pagsasalita lalong-lalo na kapag nagpapaliwanag.“Wala na ngang ambag ang ama mo sa pamilya natin! Pati ba naman ikaw?!” habol niya pa. Tss. Hindi ko na kasalanan ‘yon. Hindi ako ang pumili sa kaniya bilang kabiyak ko. Bakit kasi pinili mo siya? E wala naman siyang kwenta bilang isang asawa at ama!Pagod kong ibinagsak ang aking katawan at ipinikit ang mga mata para magpahinga ngunit naudlot iyo

    ASHTON'S POINT OF VIEW “And now you're acting like an independent woman when in fact you're just a spoiled brat,” walang emosyong saad ko. I was so caught up with her clumsiness! Ang daming kaartehan sa katawan. Just earlier she ran away from me and with all my strength I ran after her. Though part of it was my fault because I scared her. I was scared that something might happen to her and the blame will put all on me. Hindi lang ama niya ang papatay sa akin pati na rin ang pamilya ko lalong-lalo na si Mommy! Baka itakwil pa nga ako no’n! And now, she sprained her foot, I carried her all the way here. Tapos ngayon ituturing niya akong personal assistant niya?! Hindi man lang marunong mag-please or whatever. Tss!“Excuse me! Anong sabi mo?!” malakas at matinis na boses na namang sigaw niya. Kailan ba hihinahon ang boses nito kapag kaming dalawa lang?“Tss. Spoiled brat na umaasa lang sa ama,” dagdag na pang-iinis ko pa bago ko siya tinalikuran at umalis sa harapan niya. I knew I hit h

    ASHTON'S POINT OF VIEW “Ashton!”Hindi ko pa nga naimulat ang mga mata ko ay ang malakas na sigaw na kaagad ang narinig ko mula kay Mommy. Kahit nakakarindi ang boses ni Mommy ay ganyan naman talaga siya. Wala na akong magagawa tungkol diyan. Kadalasan ay hindi ko nalang siya pinapansin.“Ayaw mo talagang gumising?!” rinig na rinig ko ang matinis na boses nito ngunit wala akong sapat na lakas para imulat ang aking mga mata. Masyado akong pagod sa mga nangyayari tapos ang tagal pa namin umuwi kagabi dahil kung ano-ano pa ang pinag-uusapan nilang detalye tungkol sa kasal namin.“Ouch! Mom! That hurts!” Hiyaw ko ng hinampas niya ng unan ang ulo ko. “Mom!” I almost screamed when she never stopped.“Bakit ba?! Ang aga-aga pa!” malakas na reklamo ko. “Maaga? My God Ashton! It's already eight!” she exclaimed in a very sharp noise.“So what?!”Umilag ako nang magtangkang hahampasin na naman niya ako ng unan na hawak niya pa rin. Inis na inis na itong nakatitig sa 'kin habang nakapameywang

    ASHTON'S POINT OF VIEWWhen reality strikes, it strikes really hard to the point of giving up what you should not. Katulad na lamang ng sitwasyon namin ngayon. I have my own plans about my life. I already have a plan to marry the only woman I have been loving in my whole life but then reality broke in. The reality destroyed my plans and I hate to admit that my dearest intruder, reality, is the toughest opponent I have. No matter how strong I am. I just couldn't bring reality down. “What?!” I exclaimed the moment when I heard all Mom's plan about my marriage to a stranger. What the fucking hell is she thinking?!“Ashton, this is the only option we have or else we'll lost our company!” Mom's voice thundered on the other line. She had been explaining this for a very long time enough why should I have to do this. Kulang nalang i-recite ko lahat ng mga pinagsasabi nito sa ilang beses ng inulit-ulit sa akin. She repeated it a million times every time she called me. I combed my hair throug

    “Mama!” isang matinis na boses ang bumungad sa tainga namin pagkapasok namin sa bukana ng bahay. Nasa pintuan palang kami ay tumakbo na kaagad si Maia papunta sa amin para salubungin kami. And because I am not allowed yet to carry heavy things, she ended up hugging my knees. Nalungkot ako na hindi ko na siya makarga kagaya ng dati. Hays, miss na miss ko na ang aking panganay. Napagtanto kong mga ilang araw na rin kaming hindi nakapagbonding. “Pakilagay nalang sa kuwarto namin ni Ashton, Rouger. Thanks!” I ordered him in the most friendly way. He just nodded and made his way to upstairs, ignoring Trisha in his front. I think pati si Ashton ay napansin kung ano ang nangyari sa kanilang dalawa ni Trisha. Ashton gave him a tap on his shoulder when he passed him. Akala ka ‘yon na ‘yon pero nang makita ko siyang lumabas para kuhanin ang natitirang mga bags sa kotse ay tila mas lalo akong nahulog sa kaniya. Habang tumatagal ang pagsasama namin ay mas lalo ko siyang nakilala o ‘di kaya’y nat

    “Grabeng morning exercise ‘yan. Talagang umagang kay ganda,” Trisha uttered out of the blue while she was waiting for me in the staircase. How did she know? My face immediately heated up because of what just she said, remembering what happened earlier insides our room. “Sorry, I made you wait.”“Nah, no problem,” she giggled habang sinabayan niya ako pababa ng hagdanan. Napagpasiyahan naming isama sana si Maia kaso ang himbing nang tulog nang sinilip namin sa kaniyang kuwarto. “Napagod po yata kahapon, Ma'am. May outdoor activities kasi silang ginagawa sa school,” imporma sa akin ni Ate Lea habang naglilinis siya sa kuwarto ni Maia. Nalungkot ako sa ibinalita niya. Hindi naman pwedeng gisingin ko siya para lang sa shopping session namin kaysa pagpahingahin. She needs to rest. Gusto ko pa siyang ipasyal sa mall at bilhin lahat ng mga magugustuhan niya roon. Minsan lang naman kasi ‘to. Kahit kailan hindi ko pa nabili ang mga gusto niya siguro iyong iba na mga mura lang sa kanto lalong

    Ang tahimik ng paligid. Pagkadilat ko ay sumalubong sa akin ang sobrang sakit sa mata na liwanag na nanggagaling sa kisame. I couldn't help to let out a groan when I felt my body aching. “Hey, you're now awake,” Ashton caressed my hand while staring at me. “Hmmm,” bumaling ako sa kaniya na nasa tabi ko lang. Mukhang kakagising niya lang din. Anong oras na ba? “Anong oras na ba?” tanong ko sa kaniya.He looked at his watch, “It’s five in the morning.” Ang aga pa pala kaya tulog na tulog pa si Maia at Trisha sa couch. Mabuti nalang at malaki ang couch. Nakayang pagkasiyahin si Maia at Trisha na ngayon ay himbing na himbing sa pagtulog. Dahil nga sobra akong napagod kagabi ay hindi ko namalayang bumalik ako sa pagtulog. Nagising nalang ako sa ingay ng paligid. Nandito pala ang lahat except sa mga magulang ni Ashton. Trisha and Rouger were here. Hmm, I smell something fishy the way they looked and interacted at each other. Okay lang, bagay naman silang dalawa. Natawa nalang ako haban
