Chapter 49.1
Pagkapasok ko sa loob ng bahay, halos mapatalon ako sa gulat nang bigla na lang sumulpot sa harapan ko si Catelyn.
"Gaga ka!" Gulat kong saad habang nakahawak sa tapat ng dibdib ko na sobrang lakas ng kabog. Ang gaga ay tumawa lang sa akin at sinilip ang sasakyan ni Wyatt na papalayo na.
"Ano 'yan ha?" Tanong niya at tiningnan ang hawak kong bulaklak. Itinago ko 'yon sa likuran ko at tumikhim dahil sa hiya.
"Wala..."
"Tsk." Umismid siya at tiningnan ako ng maigi. "Sinaktan ka niya ng sobra noon, at maging si Lauren ay lumaking walang kinikilalang ama dahil sa nangyari noon. I'll not against of whatever your decision will be but I want you to think it throughly. Inaalaska kita sa kaniya pero hindi ibig sabihin no'n one hundred percent boto na ako sa kaniya. He h
Chapter 49.2"Room 204, third floor ma'am," wika ko habang inaabot sa kaniya ang keycard ng suite niya. She smiled after I handed her the keycard."Thank you," she said before she left. I bow down my head and looked at her as she walks down the hallway."If staring could kill, she might be dead by now," saad ni Wyatt na bigla na lang sumulpot sa harapan ko. Umingos ako at inirapan siya."Ano ba'ng ginagawa mo dito?" Naiinip na tanong ko sa kaniya at pinagkrus ang braso sa ibabaw ng dibdib ko habang mataman siyang tinitingnan. "Tsaka nasan si Lauren? Bakit hindi mo kasama?" Tiningnan ko ang orasan na nasa gitna ng lobby, bago ulit ibinalik ang tingin ko sa kaniya."Hinatid ko na siya sa bahay niyo kanina pagkatapos ko siyang sunduin," sagot niya na tinanguan ko
Chapter 50.1"Phoebe..." I whispered her name as I recognized her face.I only saw the side of her face earlier that's why I still haven't recognized her yet, but now that she's facing my direction while smiling widely at Wyatt— my heart constricted in pain upon recognizing her. I didn't know she'll be here, with a son to be specific.Is he Wyatt's?May dapat pa ba akong malaman bukod do'n sa sinabi niya sa akin?Napasinghap ako at hindi malaman ang gagawin. Nataranta ako nang dumako ang tingin ni Phoebe sa gawi ko. Dahil sa kawalan ng ideya kung ano ang dapat kong gawin, tumalikod ako sa kaniya at naglakad papunta sa pinto palabas ng restaurant.Bawat paghakbang ko paalis sa istraktura ay katumbas ng pagsikip ng
Chapter 50.2My heart filled with an unexplained happiness that it feels like I'm floating in a cloud nine right now. I can't deny the fact that only Wyatt could make give me that.Masaya akong kasama ang anak ko at ang Daddy ko pero hindi ko mapagkakailang iba ang sayang ibinibigay niya sa akin. He'll always make me feel lost but at the same time, he'll made feel at home in his arms. He'll made me feel calm with his husky and soothing voice. He'll made me feel all of the emotions I can't even recognize myself.Wyatt stayed until dinner. Akala ko magkakaproblema o magkakairingan sa hapag lalo na't nandito si Daddy but it turned out opposite of what I expected. Lauren is even more happy seeing her Grandpa and Daddy getting along so well. Para ngang ako 'yong intruder sa sarili kong bahay dahil sila lang tatlo ang nag-uusap at para bang wala ako rito at kasama n
Chapter 51.1Happiness is cannot only attain with other people but within ourselves too. We can be happy alone but we can't deny the fact that there will always be hallow feeling deep inside us that is waiting to be fulfilled. And there will always be a person who'll suddenly appear in our life who'll not only fulfill that and give us the overflowing happiness we deserve.Happiness comes with forgiveness and acceptance. Forgive those who hurt you and accept that everyone can make mistakes. No one's born perfect, no one's not going to make mistakes, the only important thing is that, you'll see them worthy of your forgiveness and acceptance. Not everyone has a chance to be forgiven and accepted so prove yourself that you're worthy of it.Days being Wyatt around us feels like a dream. I can see that he's really trying to make up and compromise
Chapter 51.2Uminit ang mga pisngi ko at hinampas ang braso niya na nagpapiksi sa kaniya."Sira ka talaga! Anak ka diyan!" wika ko. "Lima pa talaga ha? Ikaw manganganak? Ha? Ikaw?""So you're considering giving Lauren a sibling? Ilan ba gusto mo?" Nakangising tanong niya na inirapan ko lang. "Ikaw baby?" Muli niyang tinitingnan sa rearview mirror si Lauren na ngayon ay sobrang laki ng ngiti.Itinaas ni Lauren ang kamay. "Three!"Napasimangot naman si Wyatt sa sagot ng anak na nagpatawa sa akin. Lima pala ha? Ano ka ngayon?"Why three? Make it five!" Maktol pa niya. Jusko! Sino ba talaga ang bata sa kanilang dalawa? "You know baby there's a saying that; ‘The more the merrier.’ so make it five, princess." Pang
Chapter 52.1Pagkatapos naming kumain ay saktong naggising si Lauren kaya sabay-sabay kaming bumaba para tulungan si Paige sa preparations. May event organizer naman sila pero hands on pa rin si Paige sa preparations. Halata nga sa mukha ni Daegan na ayaw niyang magkikilos ang asawa pero wala siyang maggawa kundi ang bantayan na lamang ito.Tinulungan ko si Paige sa mga gagawin habang ang mga lalaki naman ay nagbabantay sa mga bata. Paminsan-minsan kong nililingon ang mag-ama ko. Sinusubuan ni Wyatt si Lauren habang kinakausap siya ni Daegan.Nakatoun lang ang atensyon niya sa pag-aalaga sa anak na ngayon naman ay nakikipaglaro kay Darwin. Nakikita kong ngumingisi si Daegan sa kaniya at umiiling. May sasabihin siya kay Wyatt na nginingisihan lang din ng huli bago ibinabalik ang atensyon sa pagpapakain ng anak."Nakakatuwa silang pano
Chapter 52.2Kumuha ako ng simpleng puting dress na may mga iba't-ibang kulay ng bulaklak ang nakaburda para soutin ni Lauren. I also braided her hair to make her look even more presentable. I used a white ribbon to tie it. Nang makontento sa itsura niya ay hindi ko napigilan ang sarili kong pangiggilan ang pisngi niya at halikan ng ilang beses."Mommy!" Tili niya nang ang leeg naman niya ang hinalikan at pinanggigilan ko. Tawa kami ng tawa dalawa hanggang sa bigla na lang may kumatok sa pinto."Baby?" Rinig kong tawag ni Wyatt mula sa labas ng pinto. Napatingin naman si Lauren sa akin bago ibinalik ulit ang tingin sa pintuan."Yes daddy?" Sagot naman ni Lauren sa ama niya."No sweetie, the other one please," wika ni Wyatt na nagpasimangot saanak niya.
Chapter 53.1Everyone's eyes were glued only to him. Everything seems not moving and the time stops. Doon lang kami lahat natauhan nang nasa harapan na namin siyang dalawa ni Wyatt.Hindi siya nakangiti at kamukhang-kamukha niya si Wyatt dahil roon. Nagsukatan ng tingin ang mag-ama, parehong ayaw magpatalo. Naputol lang ang tinginan nilang dalawa nang pumaibabaw ang maliit at kuryusong boses ni Lauren."Daddy!" Sigaw nito.Kaagad na napunta sa kaniya ang atensyon ng dalawa. Ngumiti ang matanda nang makita nito si Lauren. Umupo siya sa harapan nito at hinaplos ang buhok ni Lauren."Hey sweetie," malambing na saad niya habang nakangiting nakatingin kay Lauren.Nakita ko kung paano kumunot ang noo ni Lauren dahil sa biglaang paglapit ng
Special Chapter II slowly open my left eye only to be greeted by a cold and silent room. I stretched my arms and I felt the coldness of the sheets against my skin.Tuluyan na akong naggising at bumangon. Pagkalingon ko sa gilid ay wala na ang dalawa. Napasimangot ako at nilibot ang tingin sa boung kuwarto. Napangiti ako nang umihip ang mabining hangin mula sa labas ng bintana.Dahan-dahan akong bumangon at lumabas ng kuwarto. Naglalakad pa lang ako sa hagdanan ay naririnig ko na ang hagikhik ni Lauren na nagpangiti sa akin.Natagpuan ko silang dalawa ni Wyatt sa couch ng sala na naglalaro. Nakaupo si Lauren sa paanan ni Wyatt at inaangat naman ni Wyatt ang paa niya na parang seesaw. Pinagkrus ko ang braso ko at nakangiti silang pinagmamasdan."Again! Again!" Tuwang-tuwa saad ni Lauren nang itigil n
Epilogue 1.5While reading happily of a contract despite of the headaches it gave me last time. A loud knock outside my office and the harsh noise from the door caught my attention. A raging mad Fred barge in."Do you really think you already knew her Wyatt?!" He burst."What?" I confusedly ask him."She's with a lot of old men, Wyatt. Don't turn a blind eye here. Do you really think that she's the woman you think she is?""What are you talking about Fred?" I tried to clam down but I'm slowly losing my patience here."She's a wh*re! She's nothing bu—" before he could even finish his words, I punch him right into his face. He lay down on the floor because of the impact of my punch."Don't you dare insult her again
Epilogue 1.4You've really got it bad this time, Wyatt.I bit my lip as I'm looking at my cellphone. What should I do? What is she doing right now? Oh God! I'm gonna die thinking what's going on here.I stood up which caught Christian's attention. He immediately went to me."Ready the private plane," I said then left the room.Mabilis akong nakauwi ng Pilipinas at hindi na tinapos ang pinunta ko sa ibang bansa. Closing ceremony na lang naman bukas at pasasalamat sa mga dumalo kaya hindi na necessary na pumunta pa ako. Besides, Christian already know what to do.I'm really glad that I have a spare key of her apartment. I swiftly went inside without any problem. It felt like all of my shouldered responsibility lessen the moment I saw h
Epilogue 1.3Funny Wyatt, you also see her that way right?"The next time you spit those words again, I'm gonna kill you!" Banta ko sa kaniya bago kami tuluyang umalis.Eloise is giving me a lot of feelings even I couldn't recognized. So when she treated my wounds, I lost it. I wanted to hunt those men who took advantage of her. I wanted to give them what they deserve.The days that we're apart, I thought that I would really get over her. But I just found myself knocking into her apartment and getting close to her. Each day, the feelings feels so strange. It was a good yet threatening feelings that might drown me one day. Eloise is the only woman who could make me feel this way and I hate how could she make drool over her.I even followed in her workplace if it wasn't for an important me
Epilogue 1.2 "Sir?" Gulat niyang tanong sa akin. "I can take care of myself Christian. I've been here before. Just hand me the keys," I answered. He hesitantly give me the keys. Mabilis naman akong pumunta sa kotse at pumasok sa loob. I turned on the headlights before I drove it away. While I'm on my way, I received a call from Tito Raymundo. I connected the call in a bluetooth earpiece. I focused on driving the car while answering his call. "Yes Tito?" I answered. "Where are you hijo? Nasundo mo na ba siya?" Sagot niya sa kabilang linya. Muntikan ko nang mabangga ang sasakyan dahil sa pagkabigla. Itinigil ko ang sasakyan sa gilid ng sasakyan para makausap siya ng maayos.
Epilogue 1.1 "What are you talking about Doc?" My father asked the doctor curiously. I just stayed lying on my bed while still feel dizzy because of all the antibiotics that have been injected to me today. I can't even bat my eyelashes or even lift my finger because of loss of strength. "We need to occur an operation as quickly as possible to..." I don't know what the doctor said after that because I fell asleep. I woke up the next day and saw my mom crying in my father's arm. My heart ache terribly that day. God knows how many times I prayed that I won't wake up anymore so that my mom won't be this hurt. God knows how I badly want to just end this to stop my suffering and my parent's too. We just recently found out about my heart condition and it immediatel

Chapter 54.2 Naging magulo ang kabilang linya pagkatapos ay ang boses naman ni Daddy ang narinig ko. "Eloise..." His voice was laced with warning. Napalunok ako at kinabahan. "You know Lauren, Dad." Bumuntong-hininga ako at napapikit. "Malaki ka na. Just don't give Lauren high hopes," saad niya. Tumango naman ako kahit hindi niya makikita 'yon. "I know Dad." "I'll hung up now." "Okay. Si Edna na bahala sa mga kailangan ni Lauren. Bye." Matapos maputol ang tawag ay napahilot a

Hinalikan niya ang sentido ko at itinukod ang baba sa balikat ko.I leaned my head into his while watching our daughter sleeping peacefully in the middle of the bed."Sundan na natin?" Biglang tanong niya dahilan para kurutin ko ang gilid niya. "Aw!""Manahimik ka nga! Bumalik ka na lang do'n sa mga pinsan mo," saad ko."Dito lang ako." Mas siniksik niya ang ulo niya sa leeg ko."Matagal din kayong hindi nagkasama lahat. Dito
