Hindi pa sumisikat ang araw ng bumangon si Karinna mula sa pagkakatulog nya. Ginising kasi sya ng aligagang Nurse dahil sa nabalitaan nya na darating na sina Emmanuel dito after lunch.

Hindi na nag breakfast si Karinna at diretso ng nag-ligo at inimpake lahat ng kanyang iniwang damit sa cabinet ni Vincent .

"Miss Karinna, kailangan nyo po ba talagang umalis?" Tanong ni Pauleen sa kanya na may halong kalungkutan sa boses nito. "Totoo po bang hindi na kayo babalik dito?"

Karinna gave the friendly nurse an apologetic smile. She pressed her palm against Pauleen's left shoulder and gave it a light squeeze. "Take care of him for me. Can you do that?"

Tumango nalang si Pauleen kahit mejo mabigat ang pakiramdam nya dahil sanay narin syang nandito ang dalaga. Isa si Karinna sa dahilan kung bakit hindi siya nasasawang pagsilbihan si Vincent . Napaka-maaalahanin nito at kahit kailan ay hindi sila pinabayaan. Sya ang tumayong nanay-nanayan nila kaya ang laking kawalan nito sa kanilang inconvenien

    "Stop the car." Utos ni Emmanuel sa taxi driver ng makita nya ang condo kung saan nakatira ang dalaga na ilang taon din nyang iniwasan at pilit kalimutan.He wasn't supposed to do this but he had no choice. Hirap man syang sulsulan at dikdikin kung saan nakatira si Karinna but she somehow managed anyway.Ayaw naman nyang mawalan ng buhay dahil sa pangyayaring ito. They've already sacrificed too much at mas masakit mag-alaga ng pasyente lalo na kung kapamilya mo ito. Noong unang linggo na maiuwi si Vincent mula sa hospital ay binantayan nila ito at taos puso nilang pinag-dasal na sana maging maayos ang lahat.But then the bitter reality slapped them all in the face when they witnessed how much Vincent suffered during those times. Mas naging aggressive ang seizures nya at lagi itong nagsusuka dahil sa NGT nito. Sobrang hirap man pero tiniis nila, until they couldn't bear it anymore.Kaya nagpasya sila na kumuha na lang ng mga personal nurses para magbantay dito, bumalik sila sa America

    Emmanuel's question was sharp against her chest and it made her fist clench tight against her skin. "...he's important to me. Whatever comes next is unimportant whatsoever." Her voice was grim and her face was painted dark."Everyone is important to someone, it simply depends on the value. What I mean is... ano ba ang kapatid ko sayo?" Pilit na tanong sa kanya ni Emmanuel na syang dahilan ng biglang pagkulo ng dugo ni Karinna."He's important enough for me na maski sa paghihirap ay hindi ko siya makayang iwan."This time it was Emmanuel who was deeply offended. Napatawa sya sa sagot ni Karinna pero hindi naman niya maipagtanggol ang sarili dahil sa katotohanan na sila nga naman ang nangiwan. "Again, I'm sorry dahil sa iyo na pasa ang responsibilidad na sa ay amin."Nagulat naman ang dalaga sa biglang pagpapakumbaba ni Emmanuel. Mas nagulat sya ng mag lumuhod ito sa harap nya at mangiyak-ngiyak na magmakaawa sa kanya."I know this is too much... But please, please! I'm begging you. San

    "Santo Niño de Jesus salamat sa biyaya!" Sigaw ni Pauleen pagkatapos niyang buksan ang pintuan ng van at humaripas ng pagtakbo papunta ng mansion. Halos magkandarapa na ito at matumba pero dire-diretso parin sya hanggang makaabot na sa hardin ng bahay. "Ang ganda talaga!""Is she always that hyper?" Tanong ni Emmanuel habang minamasdan ang babaeng Nurse na parang ibon na nakawala sa hawla. "Is she really the best nurse at the intensive care unit in St. Lukes?"Napa-tawa na lang si Karinna at Rosario habang napatungo nalang si Jet sa kahihiyan.Na-unang bumaba si Rosario at sunod-sunod na silang pumunta sa mansion, pahulihin naman si Jet na mas kumulo ang dugo kay Pauleen dahil sa kanya inasa ang mga bag nito."Huy, dugyot seryoso ka bang ako ang magdadala ng lahat ng to'?!" Inis na inis na sigaw ni Jet sa kanya. Ano ba yan, kulang na nga sa tulog. Tagabit-bit pa! Isip-isip ng binata habang nakamungot na dala-dala ang dalawang malaking maleta at may nakasabit pa na tig-isang duffle bag

    "Oh come on, kain lang ng kain ha." Masigasig na alok ni Rosario sa kanilang lahat ng maluto na ang specialty niyang kaldereta. Hawak nya ang malaking ceramic bowl na puno ng ulam, habang si Emmanuel naman ang may hawak ng Tupperware na puno ng kanin."Let's all eat na. Masama pag hintayin ang grasya." Muling alok ni Rosario sa kanila. Nagsiupo naman sila sa kani-kanilang upuan at tahimik lang sila habang kumakain, with a bit of side comments here and there. "Don't be shy, niluto namin yan para sa inyo. Eat and eat!""Sya nga pala, Karinna. I'm leaving the keys to your care. Iyong caretaker kasi, nagkasakit. And he told us that he'll be sending his daughter instead. Hindi nga lang naman sure as to... when she'll arrive. I don't know Kasi kung kailan kami ni Emmanuel makakabalik." Mabilisang pagsasalita ng ginang habang kumakain. Napatingin naman ang lahat kay Karinna na parang napaka-laking responsibilidad ang iniwan sa kanya."Po?" She answered, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. Hal

    The buzzing sound from his phone's alarm clock woke him up from his deep slumber, shocking him to awareness. Slowly, he gets up with a loud yawn as he reach out his arms widely. Napakamot sya sa may batok nya, just right before his hairline stops. Tinulak niya papalayo ang makapal na comforter para makatayo mula sa mainit at malaking kama para maligo dahil unang-una may schedule sya na kailangang sundin dahil ayaw niyang mabulyawan muli ng kanilang project director.May taping pa nga pala siya sa Cheer Up 90’s. Kailangan nandun na sya ng alas unse ng tanghali. Ika nga ni Direk Bruce eh "Kung gusto mong makahabol sa ibang giant networks dito sa Pinas, be the Earliest bird in the forest full of eagles."Pero bakit ganun, pagka-angat nya ng kanyang hita ay agad siyang nakaramdam ng malagkit na pakiramdam at tila basa.Fuck. What the heck happened last night?! Hiyaw nya sa sarili ng makita nya ang nanigas na tamod sa may hita nya.Napatingin sya sa kaliwang bahagi ng kama at biglang Nangl

    "Good morning... Naririnig mo ba ako, pogi?" Tanong ni Karinna na mejo nanginginig pa rin ang boses dala sa sobrang kaligayahan."Ri...nig... Ingay..." Pabulong na sagot ni Vincent sa kanya. "Mo-morning."Napangiti si Karinna ng tuluyan ng imulat ni Vincent ang kanyang mga mata. Pinatong nya ang kanyang palad sa noo ng binata at hinaplos ito. "Kumusta naman ang tulog mo?"Napakunot ang noo ni Vincent ng maramdaman ang sobrang pagka-bigat ng katawan. Parang may nakadagan sa kanyang troso. "Tu---tulog?" Puno ng question ang tanong nya at halata ang pagka-aligaga nito sa nangyayari."Yeah. You were asleep for eight days, pogi."Nang-laki ang mata ni Vincent sa narinig. He then realized the situation he's in. Accident. Car racing. Lovelia. The CBS Network... And then, Karinna.He was still confused as ever, and because of his unforgiving memory he remembers a little bit of everything, all except that memory from his dream."Sa...saan tayo?" Tanong nya sa dalaga as he tried to push himself

    It was another mundane morning. Pero lahat sila iba ang gising. They seemed happier, more full of life... At unti-unti rin silang nasanay na sila-sila ang magkakasama dito sa kanilang mala pantasya na bahay.Nasa may backyard sina Vincent, Karinna at Niña. Habang si Jet at Pauleen naman ang na assign sa kitchen duties."Sigurado ka ba sa ginagawa mo?" Tanong ni Karinna kay Niña, matahas nyang pinag-mamasdan ang galaw ng dalaga habang hinahawak-hawakan nito ang buhok ni Vincent. "I mean... Pwede namang tumawag nalang ako ng barbero.""Bakit nga ba hindi na lang mag-patawag ng barbero? Hindi ba mas magandang idea iyon?" Nakabusangot na sagot ni Vincent kay Karinna.He really didn't want to go through this haircut, pero dahil lagi siyang inaasar ni Karinna na second rate Ian Veneracion look-alike daw sya eh napilitan na lang syang sumunod sa gusto ng dalaga. Feeling tuloy nya isa siya sa mga mister na napipilitan mag-pagupit dahil sa kagustuhan ng kani-kanilang asawa. Ngayon alam na niya

    Kakatapos lang lahat nila kumain at naiwan si Niña sa kusina para ligpitin ang mga kalat at maghugas ng pinggan. Mahinhin nyang pinunasan ang mga muyang sa mesa at winalisan rin nya ang mga dumi sa sahig bago siya pumunta sa sink para simulang maghugas ng mga pinggan.Mahina nyang kinanta ang A Thousand Years at binuksan niya ang gripo ng tanggalin nya ang mga dumi sa mga pinggan. Taimtim siyang nag-konsentrate sa ginagawa na di nya namalayan na may nasa likod na nya pala."Anong trip mo?" Biglang tanong ni Pauleen sa kanya na sobrang kinagitla nito. Muntik ng mabitawan ng dalagita ang pinggan, buti na lang at mahigpit ang pagkaka-hawak niya dito."P-po?" Tanong ni Niña kay Pauleen na may halong takot at kaba. Hindi dahil nakakatakot ang tanong ng dalaga, pero dahil para itong kabote na kung saan-saan nalang sumusulpot.Ano ba yan, maganda nga ang slow naman. Naiimbyernang sinabi ni Pauleen sa sarili nya. Tinaasan nya ng kilay ang dalagita at tinitigan ito ng masama. "Ansabi ko... Ano

    Hindi manhid si Karinna kaya agad nyang naramdaman na nakatingin sa kanya ang lahat ng tao sa sasakyan pwera lang dun sa driver. Pati si Zia na kanina ay nananahimik at nakikinig lang ng Music ay napatingin na rin sa kanya. They're all waiting for her response and the only thing she ended up doing is look down on her lap.Lalo syang nakaramdam ng hiya ng tanungin sya ni Nanay Rosario. "Anak, May dalaw ka pa ba?"Vincent opened his mouth and was about to answer nanay Rosa's question ng busalan ni Karinna ng panyo ang bibig nito."Opo." Mahinang sagot ng dalaga. "Meron pa po.""Good!" Sheer happiness was evident in her voice. "Magkakaroon pa pala ako ng apo sa inyo."......................They've arrived at the airport twelve minutes before their flight. Hindi na nagtagal pa ang pamamaalam nila kina Bernadette at Zia dahil baka maiwanan na rin sila ng Flight.With a last kiss on the cheek, bumitaw na si Zia mula sa mahigpit nyang pagkaka-yakap sa kanyang ate.

    Tension was evident inside the Visencio household. One by one and two by two dumating ang kanilang bisita--- the Saturos family as well as a few Quizons', Karinna's step sisters.Half of the table is occupied by Vincent's siblings and nephews. Habang sa kabilang table ay si Modesto at Ezperanza. At ang naipit sa tatlong pamilya na ito? Walang iba kung hindi si Vincent at si Karinna. Cutleries hitting the porcelain plate was the only sound audible in the room. No one talked after their formal greeting and the announcement na maninirahan na si Karinna at Vincent sa America.The Visencio family knows about this. But on Karinna's side of the family, it's a different story.Most of them were shocked, asking why was it so sudden. Pero pagkatapos sagutin ni Vincent at Karinna ang mga katanungan nila, unti-unti na nila itong naintindihan.Hangga't nandito sila, there will always be this underlying need to pretend.Lalo na't nasa mundo sina ng glitters, beauties and everything glamorous.

    The two were enjoying their small talk and chit-chat ng biglang may humawak sa magkabila nilang braso at niyakap sila ng mahigpit.Bernadette looked at the perpetrator and his eyes almost rolled back ng makita nya kung sino ito. "Ang dakilang paminta." Pabulong nyang biro sa kapatid. Oh gone were the days na naka-makeup na makapal ang kanyang bunsong kapatid. Kung dati ay hindi ito mapakali ng walang abubot sa mukha, ngayon naman ay tila pulbos na lang ang ginagamit nito. Nilanghap ni Vincent ang simuy na nag-mula sa Caldereta. "Smells good." Kumuha sya ng kutsara mula sa cutlery storage at tinikman ang luto ng kapatid. Agad naman nyang binigay ang kanyang 'seal of approval' ng malasahan nya ito. "This is good. Magugustuhan nila ito."Though everyone inside the house was quiet and focused on their own task, hindi nila mapagkakait ang nerbyos na nararamdaman. Lalo na si Vincent na kanina pa aligaga.Nabigyang pansin naman agad ito ng kanyang ina kaya hinawakan na lamang nya ang braso

    There were countless times when she wanted to give up and surrender. It's not easy to fight the good fight lalo na't maraming kumokontra at humahadlang dito. The court was a place she was unfamiliar with. She remembers the cold glare of people on her habang nakatayo sya sa Panel. Naaalala nya how they judge her life based on the sheets of paper that their attorneys detailed manuscript and listed facts and information of what happened in the past that could help her. As much as they've had control of the press and what will come out of the news, meron pa rin talagang iba ma sumasabit.Tabloids and different kinds of articles state how things ended up the way they are. The story is covered down from A to Z and Karinna feels deep in her gut na may kinalaman din dito ang pamilya ni David. A woman who cheated on her husband. A relationship that circled around infidelity. The unfaithful wife. Yun ang mga naging bansag sa kanya. Mahirap man, pero kinaya nya and her ex-husband's parents rese

    Anong oras na ng naalimpungatan na ang binata. His line of vision was still blurry at patuloy ang pagbukas at sara ng talukap ng kanyang mata. He felt something heavy resting on his shoulder and midsection.Even though his line of vision was a bit compromised, hinding-hindi nya mapag-kakait kung kanino ang kulot na buhok na dumadaplis sa pisngi at leeg nya.She was still asleep. "Karinna."Vincent lifted himself para umayos ng higa sa kama. He wrapped his right arm around Karinna's shoulder at niyakap ito ng mahigpit. The smell of her unwashed hair sent tingles to his spine. It brings back memories from the time when they're fooling around and not giving a fuck of what the world would think about them.He leaned his head closer to her forehead and placed a soft skin on her skin. "Ikaw talaga..." He smiled against her skin. "Amoy Lumpia pa rin ang hininga mo pag bagong gising ka."Karinna made a slight movement under his embrace at nag-hikab ito."See, wala talagang pagbabago." Natataw

    There was a thick air between them, like a borderline that is too risky for them to cross. It makes her hands fidgety and her palms sweat. Her fingers continuously tapped and played against the hospital bed's side rails, there's something in her that wants to escape, even for just a second. It feels as if her bubble filled with happiness, fulfillment and contentment had been replaced with remorse and regret.Napaluha si Zarah ng muli nyang hawakan ang kanyang kaliwang dibdib. A gauze protected the stitch from infection, it was still bloody and it still ached. But nothing pained her more than being betrayed by the man that she loves, the man who promised her his love.What she thought was a promise of forever... was now something far fetched from the truth.In the end... She is back to square one. Broken-hearted and alone."Zarah..." Narinig nya ang boses ni Karinna. The woman whom she thought was the burden, but... here she is, at nag-aalaga sa pa kanya. "...don't cry." Mahinahong pag

    Karinna took a deep breath and prepared for the worst. But then she heard a loud thud and the sound of a metal hitting the ground. Binuksan nya ang mata nya at nakita nyang nangingisay at nanginginig ang katawan ni David.And then she saw him..."Sabi ko sayo diba..." Bulong ni Vincent habang nananatiling nakahiga sa sahig, he was barely holding the taser gun with his bloody hands. "Hindi ko hahayaang saktan ka nya...""Po--pogi..." Karinna stuttered, nagmadali syang gumapang papalapit kay Vincent. Her eyes never leaving the sight of him as she watch the love of her life become more pale and lifeless. It's a familiar sight. Almost like deja vu. "Pogi..." She whispered softly ng makarating na sya sa kalapit ni Vincent.Para syang sinaksak ng paulit-ulit sa dibdib ng malapitan nyang mapagmasdan ang binata. "Vincent..." Hinaplos nya ang pisngi ni Vincent at hinalikan ito sa noo. "...wa-wait for me, okay?" It was painful to soothe him and tell him that everything is going to be okay. "...

    Pasal ni Vincent si Addalyn sa kanyang balikat at hirap na hirap silang lumabas ng dressing room. Nalusot sila ni Zarah sa mga tauhan ni David, pero hanggang duon lang talaga ang tulong na kayang ibigay nito.Ngayon dahan-dahan silang naglalakad papalabas ng Building. At si Vincent, naghihintay na mag-Text si Bernard sa kanya na nasa labas na ang mga pulis.Karinna is badly wounded and Addalyn is still unconscious, they must move faster. Vincent can sense it deep in his gut, danger is coming soon. "Karinna..." Mahinahon nyang pagtawag sa atensyon ng dalaga. "Kaya mo pa ba?" Tiningnan nya ang dalaga, maski sya nahihirapan sa sitwasyon nila. "Bilisan natin ng konti." Pakiusap nya rito.Walang imik na sumunod si Karinna sa utos ng binata. Marahan syang kumapit sa balikat ni Vincent at sinuportahan ang binata sa pagbubuhat kay Addalyn.Malapit na sila sa exit... but then, a gunshot was fired and it almost hit Vincent. The bullet almost went through the right side of his head, a few of his

    As Karinna reads through the paper, she realized one thing. It's an annulment paper and it was filed one and a half year ago, earlier than when they send their processing request four months ago. They planned this all along. And it's such a bitter pill to swallow. She had been such a fool to trust David. And so she thought it won't come to this end."Once you sign this with your name and signature, tapos na ang lahat sa inyo. Fifty percent of your assets will be given to David, as well as your combined bank accounts and savings accounts. Hindi ko na naman kailangang ipaliwanag, diba? Hindi ka naman Bobo, diba?" Zarah's intention oozed out from her system, and Karinna never met anyone so evil. She moaned in pain as Zarah's grip on her bruised shoulder tightened, and even as she tried to wiggle her way out of their grasp, it's as if her strength had been drained."Sign it." Muling utos ni Zarah dito. But it seemed like Karinna wouldn't budge. Again and again, she points her gun at the l
