When Addalyn realized na masyado siyang nag-step on the line, bigla siyang napabusangot at nakosensya. She didn't mean any harm, hindi nya sinasadyang saktan ang kanyang kaibigan. "Sorry." Hinawakan nya ang balikat ni Karinna at inakbayan ito.

"It's okay..." Karinna answered with a forced smile. "Tama ka rin naman. I'm as desperate as you say I am. Kaya naman ako nandito kasi gusto, hindi dahil sa pinilit din ako. I guess there's a part of me that wanted to run away from my problems, and when I saw this as an opportunity, I took it without thinking."

"Kaya ba hindi mo man lang kami kinontact? Kaya ba hindi ka man lang nagpaalam? Your mom was worried sick, Karinna. And she still is. What about your business, what about Manila? Alam mo, para kayong tanga. Kelan mo ba sasabihin kay Vincent ang nangyari sa kanya? Alam mo ba... Awang-awa ako sa kanya habang pinapakinggan ko ang kwento nya. Up to now, ang alam niya single ka. Kaya siya nagkaganon kasi naaksidente siya. Tingnan mo kanina, gr

    "So ano na'ng gagawin natin ngayon?" Inip na inip na tanong ni Addalyn kina Vincent at Karinna. Apat lang kasi silang tao ngayon sa bahay dahil umalis sina Pauleen at ang iba pang Nurse para mangakyat ng bulubundukin. Nakaupo lang silang dalawa sa salas. Lowbat na ang cellphone ni Addalyn sa kakalaro at si Vincent naman ay tahimik na nagbabasa ng libro. "Videoke tayo?" Biglang alok ni Addalyn dito."Kung ikaw ang ka kanta tiyak na babagyo. Sayang naman yung mga nilabhan ni Niña. Wala ka ba talagang awa?" Seryosong sinabi ni Vincent kaya hinampas sya ni Addalyn sa braso. "Aray ha!" Reklamo nito sa kaibigan. Hinampas nya ng libro si Addalyn sabay kurot sa tagiliran ni Addalyn.Dinilaan ni Addalyn si Vincent sa parang nagmamaktol na bata. "Ayaw mo akong kumanta? Eh di maglaro nalang tayo ng habulan."Vincent gestured on his legs and the crutches that's keeping him on his feet. Sinamaan niya ng tingin si Addalyn at kung pwede lang nyang isako si Addalyn at itapon sa tabing ilog eh ginawa

    It was just, somewhere along the lines narealize nya na hindi na pala ganun ka gwapo ang mga lalaking nakapalibot sa kanya. Lalo na pag naglalambing at nagpapacute ang boyfriend nya sa kanya. Nalimutan narin nya kung ano ba ang nagustuhan nya sa matipuno at malakas na katawan, at ngayon ang iniisip na lang niya ay kung ano ang pakiramdam ng malambot at mainit na kamay sa pisngi o braso nya.Inisip nya kung kaya ba talaga ng matipunong lalaki na mag-alaga ng bata at palakihin ito ng maayos kasama sya? Kaya ba nitong magmasahe at maglambing ng hindi sya masasaktan but at the same time masasarapan sya? Kaya ba nitong ipagluto sya ng masarap na pagkain maski prito o adobo lang? Kaya ba nitong pagaanin ang pakiramdam nya sa isang haplos lang? At kaya ba ng kamay at braso na yun na yakapin sya ng mahigpit lalo na sa oras na kailangan na kailangan nya?Throwing physicality and anesthetics aside, ano nga ba ang nangyayari pagkatapos maghiwalay ng dalawang taong naghihiwalayan?

    Because of their will to protect their location and whereabouts, si Manong Miguel nalang ang sumama kay Niña papuntang Hospital kahit labag sa loob nila.

    Maliit man ang kanilang selebrasyon pero tiniyak ng mga Nurse na masaya parin ito. Nagluto sila ng kikiam, fishball at French fries tsaka sila bumili ng dalawang long neck na emperador. Nakabalik narin sa bahay si Niña ng kinagabihan na iyon, at nung nalaman nila ang kadahilanan kung bakit nawalan ng malay ang dalagita ay natawa nalang sila."Takot na takot po kasi ako sa dugo. Nahiwa po ako ng kutsilyo nung naghuhugas ako ng pinggan. Ayun po. Nahimatay po ako, tapos nabasag po yung baso kaya Nahiwa rin yung braso ko." Paliwanag ng dalaga na mejo namumula-mula ang pisngi. Natawa nalang si Pauleen sabay sigaw niya ng "Eh di anong tawag sayo?!"Inosenteng papikit-pikit si Niña, kinamot nya ang kanyang ulo habang nakatingin kay Pauleen. "Ano po?""Eh di shunga!"Binatukan ni Jet si Pauleen, nagsigawan na tuloy ang dalawa at as usual, si Christian na naman ang pumagitna at naging referree.Nagvideoke sila, upon request ni Niña na kumanta sina Karinna at Vincent.

    Ramdam nya ang maghigpit na pagkakahawak ni Vincent sa kanyang damit, his tight grip on the hem of her shirt and she feels his blunt nails against her skin. He's desperate to get a feel of her, to feel the sensation of skin burning against skin. The feeling of having every inch of you taste, every part of you wasted and touched.His touch and kisses were so rough and good that it will surely leave marks tomorrow. If it wasn't for the clothes between them, sigurado na may pasa siya kung saan man siya kinakagat ng binata.This is wrong and stupid. Wrong and stupid in so many ways. She can hear herself screaming on the inside as she lets the pleasure play in all of her being. She is married, a bonded promise between the man she is married and with God. Yet even though she knows how much of a mistake this is she still lets it flow.From the start she has been addicted to a sin in the form of the man on top of her.Vincent.Their loving exchange of kisses and whispers of never ending tomor

Now all that they're waiting for is Vincent's Neurologist, si Doctor Bastillas. She is just having a small chat with Karinna, the final decision to what to do next, ika nga."Don't worry sir, she'll be coming here soon. Kaka-inform ko lang sa kanya na you no longer need the crutches." Nakangiting sinabi sa kanya ni Jeremy. Magkasama silang dalawa ni Mariza sa Batanes, ang dalaga ang naging pre-treatment therapist ni Vincent, so she has the breakdown of his records, starting from day one.

    Pang ilang beses na nilang ginawa ito, but he still can't seem to get off from the high. He missed touching her, missed kissing her, and he missed claiming her body as his every single time they make. Ever since na binigyan siya ng GO Signal ni Doctor Bastillas na pwede na ulit siyang bumalik ng Manila ay parang nakatayo sya lagi sa cloud nine. Parang kailan lang nung naging ganito siya kasaya at ka-accomplished.Lalo na ngayon, with the love of his life by his side, feeling nya lahat ng test at therapy na kailangan nyang pagdaanan ay wala lang. It simply feels so good. It had been a long time since he felt someone's warmth on his skin and a tight hug coming from behind. The familiar warm chest against his back, ang mga malambot at malambing na mga kamay na parang kay tagal nyang hindi nararamdaman sa kanyang balat habang may naririnig syang tinig na kay sarap pakinggan. Ito rin ang nagsilbing inspirasyon nya sa araw-araw kaya tila nawala ang sakit na nararamdaman niya sa kanyang dati

    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."

    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
