Her Point of View."Cheap ang tela na ginagamit natin?!""Overprice?! Kailan pa?""This is going out of hand, Ma'am."Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo at tumingin ako sa bintana. Going out of hand? May it be a negative or positive feedback, it's still marketing strategy and publicity. The Rendez Clothing Line is sabotaging us after that auction. Ang balita kasi sakin kasali ang Rendez Clothing Line sa auction at sila ang may pinakamababang bidding dahil wala rin gaanong nagka-interes sa design na ni-present nila. Kahit gaano pa kaganda ng quality ng tela na ginamit kung bagsak sa designs, it will be useless. Our clothes is made with high-quality fabric at well.. we have Lorenzo Altiche as our fashion designer and also me. I don't take this as a threat. Ganoon talaga kapag unti-unti nakikilala at napapansin ang isang clothing line. Some competitors will surely go to mud just to drown you."Ma'am.. ano po gagawin natin?"Tanong sakin ni Faniya. Humarap ako sa kaniya at umiling."We don't n
Her Point of View.Rumors are spreading like wildfire. Dinaig pa ang virus kapag kumakalat. Rumors because I know, It wasn't true. Hindi nga ba? Ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata. Carriuz had been away from me for more than two months. Yes. He did go back to States after coming back here. Kinailangan niyang bumalik at ang plano kong kausapin siya patungkol sa nakuha kong black envelope ay hindi ko na nagawang sabihin sa kaniya. We still talked kahit nasa States na siya pero ni minsan ay hindi ko nabanggit sa kaniya ang tungkol doon. Gusto kong kausapin siya ng maayos at personal.Rumors about Carriuz and Clariza had been just rumors to all the people who knew the real story of us. At dahil sa ako ang kilala nilang si Clariza noon, they really thought that Carriuz and Clariza was a couple and now that Carriuz is not really married..umusbong ang pangalan ni Clariza. Some old pictures of me as Clariza with Carriuz are spreading and was posted in every social media possible."Ma'am.."Iminul
Her Point of View.I woke up and saw Cali beside me. Hinawakan niya ako sa aking kamay at tinulungan akong makabangon mula sa pagkakahiga. Nilibot ko ang aking tingin sa buong kwarto at napagtanto na nandito ako ngayon sa bahay."Riz.. okay ka na ba? May masakit ba sayo?""I'm fine Cali. I'm fine.""What happened? You passed out last night ""Last night? What time is it?""5am."Ginagap niya ang aking palad at nag-aalalang tinignan ako."What happened Riz? Tell me.."At para kumalma si Cali at mawala ang pag-aalala ay sinabi ko sa kaniya ang lahat maging ang pagbisita sakin ni Argo para sabihin na pinapasundan ako ni Lianna and I had an encounter also with Lianna yesterday."Hindi talaga titigil ang babaeng 'yan. Swear. If something happened to you again, hinding hindi ko kokontrolin sarili ko!""Cali.. Anong sabi nina Mama at Papa? At paano mo ako nadala rito?""Malakas ako. Yun lang yun. I didn't told them anything. Ang sabi ko lang nagpasundo ka kasi galing ka ng bar and you can't
Her Point of View."Faniya ikaw na bahala rito habang wala ako ah? Wala naman tayo gaanong VIP Clients eh. Everything will be fine even without me for awhile.""Yes Ma'am. Pero.. bakit po biglaan ang pag-file mo ng vacation leave?""Wanted to surprise someone."Ngumiti siya nang nakakaloko."Si Sir Carriuz po ba?"Tumango ako sa kaniya na may ngiti sa aking labi. She giggled.k"Yiee! Nakakakilig talaga kayo Ma'am!"Nagpaalam na ako kay Faniya. I took a five days leave at kaagad na nag-book ng flight going to where Carriuz is. Lianna's words are still on my mind and I want to prove her wrong kaya para matapos na rin tong mga hindi magagandang iniisip ko, better go there and see it for myself. Bahala na kung ano man ang naabutan ko at least it will make me stop from overthinking.Nang makarating ako sa bahay ay kaagad ako na nag-impake because my flight will be tonight. Tinulungan na ako ni Mama sa pag-iimpake at nagulat sa agaran kong desisyon but still she helped me."Tawagan mo kaya
Her Point of View.The waves, fresh air, and the smell of the sea calm me and my within. It's been three days. It's been three days without talking to anyone except me. I am still here at Venesia Island. Simula nang dumating ako rito hindi ako nagpunta ng seaside para mag-bar hopping. Hindi ako pumupunta sa kung ano mang classes to keep my mind out of the problems and thoughts. I just stayed at my villa from afternoon until morning. And I am here at the seaside from morning till afternoon. I didn't escape and trying to forget what happened. I embraced it and trying to understand everything that happened.I keep asking myself what was the problem or who is the problem. Why did Carriuz cheated on me? Why did Clariza betrayed me? And what did I do to deserve this? But in the end.. wala akong makuhang sagot."Hi.."Napagitla ako dahil sa boses na iyon at inangat ko ang aking ulo para mapagsino iyon. Mataas ang araw at nasisilaw ako kaya hindi ko makita ang mukha niya. Tinabunan ko gamit a
Her Point of View."Riza!""Anak! Mabuti naman at nandito ka na! Saan ka ba galing? Wala ka sa Paris1 Hinahanap ka ni Carriuz! Juskong bata ka!"Litanya ni Mama nang makita akong pumasok ng bahay kasama si Cali. Una kong nakita si Clariza na nagulat nang makita ako pero kababakasan ng pag-aalala. At least nakaramdam siya nang pag-aalala dahil sa pagkawala ko."I went to Spain after Paris and stayed there for a vacation.""Without even asking Carriuz permission? Or at lest inform him where you are, Riz."I chuckled at tinapunan ko ng tingin si Clariza."I don't need to ask for his permission Clar. He's not..YET my husband. It's an impulsive decision anyway kaya hindi na ako nakapagsabi pa sa kaniya.""He's looking for you everywhere dahil kahit sina Mama hindi alam kung nasaan ka. Nag-aalala kami sayo. Paano kung may nangyari nang masama sayo?""Clariza she's fine. Besides, alam ko kung nasaan siya the whole time.""Cali.."Saway ko sa kaniya. Ayaw kong mapagalitan siya dahil malalaman
Her Point of View."Morning flowers!"Sigaw ni Faniya nang makapasok sa opisina ko. I looked at her at doon sa dala niyang bulaklak na alam ko na kung kanino galing. Nilapag niya ito sa aking office table. I sighed."As usual.. It's from Mr. Sarreignto.""I know. Thank you, Faniya.""Ma'am..ikaw lang po yata ang pupunta sa engagement party mamayang gabi na hindi masaya!"I chuckled at saka napailing."I am happy, Faniya.""Kung ganyan ang definition ng happy, kumusta naman po ako? Super duper happy?""Hay naku, Faniya.. Sige na. Bumalik ka na roon."Ngumuso siya at tumango."Half day ka lang po ba ngayon, Ma'am?"Umiling ako."No. Marami akong dapat na tapusin ngayon. Mamayang gabi pa naman ang Engagement Party. I still have time.""Alright. Babalik na po ako roon. Ipapadeliver ko na lang po ba ang lunch mo Ma'am or Mr. Sarreignto will come here to fetch you?"Umiling ako."No. Ipadeliver mo na lang. Sabay sabay na tayo mag-lunch.""Okay po."Nakangiti niyang sagot. Nagpaalam na siya
Her Point of View."We now present to you Mr. Carriuz Sarreignto together with his fiancee Miss Rizalyn Clariza Estebas!"Malakas na palakpakan ang tanging narinig ko habang umaakyat kami sa stage. Carriuz was holding my hand tightly and I don't mind. Kinuha ni Carriuz ang microphone sa MC at saka bumati sa mga bisita. Sinipat niya ako ng tingin at ngumiti sakin. I smiled back. When he's done talking binigay niya sakin ang microphone and I just say the same thing as he did. Binati ang mga bisita at nagbigay lang ng kaonting mensahe. The party continue as we greeted personally our visitors. May mga media din sa paligid and was just waiting for the right timing to approach us."Are you tired?"Carriuz whispered nang siguro ay mapansin niyang tahimik ako simula pa kanina. Me and Carriuz are in a separate table. One reporter approached us and just asked us simple questions na pinaunlakan naman namin."No. I'm fine.""Are you sure?"Ngumiti ako sa kaniya and squeezed his hand."Yes. Don't
