The Broken Billionaire "25"
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

Days had passed since they last talked to each other. Napansin narin ito ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila. Oo, nag-uusap man sila pero tuwing kailangan lang and if it was proven necessary pero hindi na ito katulad ng dati na hindi halos mapaghiwalay ang dalawa.Napansin na rin ni Pauleen na hindi na natutulog si Karinna sa kwarto ni Vincent at dumi-diretso na lang ito sa kanyang kwarto pag malapit ng sumapit ang oras ng tulugan nitaGusto mang usisain ng mga Nurse at ng dalagitang katiwala ang nangyayari pero that's all beyond them. Vincent is still their client at ayaw nilang manghimasok sa personal na buhay nito. Lalo na at masamang ma-stress ang binata dahil kabilin-bilinan ni Bastillas na ito ang isa sa mga cause ng epileptic shocks nito.Hindi naman sila magkagalit, hindi rin sila nagkaroon ng alitan pagkatapos ng gabing iyon.A simple but passionate kiss was all it took for the two of them to slowly shy away from each other, at hindi ito dahil sa biglaang nangyari, ang mainit

Sinandukan ni Karinna si Vincent ng kanin at ulam. Tahimik na silang kumain ng biglang magsalita si Vincent at binasag ang kanilang katahimikan."Bakit nga pala hindi mo halos ako kinakausap nitong mga nakaraang araw? May nagawa ba akong mali?" Seryosong tanong ni Vincent sa dalaga kaya parang iniputan si Karinna ng ibong Adarna sa sobrang paninigas nito."Ha?" Nerbyos na sagot ni Karinna. Muli siyang nagsandok ng ulam at kanin at sa sobrang laki ng kain nya ay halos maluogan na sya."Ang sabi ko... Bakit mo ako iniiwasan." Sinserong tanong ni Vincent kay Karinna. Nag-aalinlangan man itong itanong ng binata pero hindi niya kayang tumagal pa ang alitan nila. "...gawa ba ng hinalikan kita?"Sa pangalawang pagkakataon muling nanahimik si Karinna. Unti-unting natuyo ang kanyang lalamunan at parang nag takbo sya ng limang kilometro sa sobrang bilis ng tibok ng kanyang puso. "Ah... Hi-hindi."Napabuntong hininga nalang si Vincent dahil maski bali-baliktarin mo ang mundo, hindi parin talaga

Vincent was staring blankly at the sky while he was silently sitting in the garden with a lot of things in mind. He breathed in deeply and tried to fey off his dismay as he watched the ocean kiss the shoreline, it was supposed to be a day of fulfillment. But then it was turned into a day that would make his heart ache and his head hurt a little.This was the target date for him to stand on his own and walk with crutches, but then every time that he tried, he would fall back on his knees and had to try again and again. And then that's when his therapist concluded it and said to take it one step at a time some other day. The doctor said it will take him a little bit longer to be able to walk again. His body was oddly unresponsive and everyday, he was feeling a little bit more exhausted.Truth be told, he is patient with his progress. Hindi sya yung tipo ng tao na ipepressure ang sarili lalo na't alam nyang hindi pa nya kaya. He didn't care how long it took or when it would happen, the o

Dumating na ang araw ng birthday ni Karinna pero sa sobrang dami ng ginagawa nya ay hindi na nya naalala ito. Dumagdag pa sa isipin nya ang hindi pagpansin ni Vincent sa kanya. Buong araw na iwas na iwas si Vincent sa kanya na parang may ginawa siyang mali at tila abala ang binata sa kung ano mang bagay. Akala nya okay na sila sa nakaraang hiyaan nila pero bakit ang lamig ng binata sa kanya?Was there something that she did?She was staring blankly at the window as the road from the city to their home came to her line of sight. Pumarada ang sasakyan sa tapat ng gate at pinag buksan ng driver si Karinna ng pinto."Salamat, manong Miguel." Karinna thanked the driver with a smile as she gets off the black and white Toyota 4Runner. Niña was silently trailing her from behind with a bag load of groceries in both of her arms, tinulungan din naman sila ng driver na ipasok lahat ng dalahin.Nang makarating na ang tatlo sa kusina para ayusin ang mga pinamili, napansin ni Karinna ang kakaibang k

Gumising ng maaga si Jet para magdilig ng halaman. Ang araw-araw niyang ginagawa tuwing alas Cinco o alas sais ng umaga. Naghikab sya at nag-inat ng katawan habang naglalakad papuntang pinto. At ng buksan nya ng ang pintuan, tila nabuhayan sya ng dugo ng makita nya ang isang bisita na hindi nila inaasahan."Good morning." Nakangiting bati ni Bernadette sa kanya. At sa loob-loob ni Jet, kapag nakapasok ang Dragonesa the Second at nakita na hindi lang nag-iisa ang kanyang kapatid sa kama ay tiyak na magwawala ito. Hindi lang dahil sa may kasaping si Vincent. Dahil sa ang natatanging kasaping nito ay walang iba kung hindi si Karinna. "May I come in---"Wala sa tamang pag-iisip at tila nilamon ng sistema ng antok ay pinagsaraan ni Jet si Bernadette ng pinto at agad itong humaripas ng pagtakbo papunta sa isang guest room kung saan natutulog si Pauleen. Habol hininga sya at hindi mauri kung ano ang gagawin ng kumatok sya ng ilang beses sa pintuan nito na parang bang may bombang itinanim sa

"Tutoy, tulog ka pa?" Tanong ni Bernadette sa kapatid at binuksan nito ang ilaw dahil mejo may kadiliman pa ang kwarto. Dahan-dahan syang lumakad papasok ng silid at napatigil sya ng nakita nya ang kapatid na nakatalikod sa kanya. Napansin nya ang katawan ni Vincent at nakaramdam sya ng saya ng makita na mejo nagkakalaman na ito, hindi katulad dati na halos buto't balat, at pag humangin ng malakas ay tiyak na malilipad ito.Nanglaki ang mata nya ng makita ang hindi inaasahan. May braso at mala-babaeng na nakayakap sa katawan ng kanyang kapatid at ang makinis na hita na nakapatong sa katawan nito.Nagtakbuhan narin sina Pauleen at Jet pababa ng bahay ng nakita nila ang hindi mapintang reaksyon ni Bernadette. Lalabas sana sila ng bahay ng marinig nila ang boses nito. "And where do you think you're going?"Tumigil sila sa pagtakbo at nanigas ang tatlo sa kani-kanilang kinatatayuan. Parang nag-slow motion ang mundo nila ng bumaba si Bernadette sa hagdan.Sa isip-isip ni Pauleen, para lang

May kasabihan nga ang mga matatanda, na every time you wake on the last Saturday of the month, you wake up with a different type of energy in your body. Kaya naman pagkagising ni Vincent in the arms of the woman that he loves, iba na agad ang araw nya. Given pa na kaarawan nya ngayon, which makes this day a whole lot better, a little brighter and something to look forward to.Simula noong mga nakaraang araw, ang dating tahimik nilang bahay ay biglang umingay at naging masaya dahil unti-unting nagsidatingan ang mga mahal nya sa buhay na parang kay tagal na niyang hindi nakikita. Nandito si Bernadette, ang kanyang mga pamangkin na sina Tian at Lucy at ang kanyang mga kaibigan na sina Gerald, Archie at Leon. Narito rin ang kanyang ina, and of course nandito rin si Emmanuel.

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
