The Broken Billionaire "49.5"
"Hindi ka nagalit na nabawasan ng ilang milyon ang ipon mo?""Hindi mahirap ang pamilya ko, tito Boy, whatever I lost... I will earn back, if it's the will of God."The questions keep on coming, up to the point na nadadrain na si Vincent mentally. Nakakaramdam na sya ng pagkalight-headedness, na parang sobrang init sa studio kahit hindi naman. The sixth question, the seventh, eighth and then there was the final question..."Last question." Tito Boy announced as he looked at the camera before directing his gaze at Vincent. Binasa muna niya ang tanong at napatitig sa binata. There was a sense of amusement on his face, a thing that had made the latter curious of what the question was. "Okay, Vincent... Again, last question. At the Batanes General Hospital, several paparazzi had spotted a famous actress with you. And... our sources said na simula ng na aksidente ka eh she had been with you throughout this whole process... She... was actually involved with the process. Maraming tao rin ang

Tahimik na nanunuod ng telebisyon si Karinna. And as much as she hates to admit it, sobrang miss na miss na nya ang binata. Napanood nya ang interview nito sa the buzz, and quite frankly seeing him after three months had been a painful relief.Para syang nabunutan ng tinik ng makita nya na healthy si Vince. Masakit man para sa kanya na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa sya napapatawad nito, for her naman it's enough na he's doing good on his own. But still, umaasa sya na sana dumating ang araw na maiintindihan sya ni Vince.Na sana, makita ng binata na she was only looking after his well-being kaya pilit ni Karinna itago ang katotohanan.Sumabog din ang ilang dosenang balita ng aminin ni Vince na sya ang kasama nito sa Batanes. Hindi na lang niya ito pinansin, and she strictly ordered and requested her manager and the management na ayaw niyang ma interview ng kahit sino, in any form or matter as well. Not even the hand picked interviewers of CBN. She refuses to be a part of that drama, know

Bumangon sya sa kama at tamad na tamad siyang naglakad palabas ng kwarto. He turned the door knob and expected silence and dead air to welcome him. Mas inaasahan pa nga nya na si Bernadette ang nakatayo sa harap nya na may hawak na kawaling pang hampas sa ulo nya. Kaya nung nakita niya ang kanyang childhood best friend na nakatayo at parang bugnot na bugnot na sa kaka hintay na lumabas sya mula sa kanyang safe haven ay para syang nakakita ng multo. Multo na gigil na gigil at sa sobrang galit ay halos lumuwa na ang nang-lalaking mata nito.Kukunin na nga siguro siya ni Kamatayan. In a form of a giant man in a black and white leather jacket.Vince tried his best to smile, pero sa halip ay para syang isda na nangingisay. "Hi." Mabilisang bati nya sa kaibigan habang minamata ito ulo hanggang paa. Lumapit siya sa kaibigan para bigyan ito ng mararapat na akap na mahigpit, pero bago pa siya makalapit ay sinuntok siya nito ng malakas sa pisngi.Napaatras at napaupo sya sa sahig. "Putangina, a

They had no reservation sa piniling restaurant ni David kaya naghintay sila sa waiting area ng ilang minuto bago sila maka upo. They were assisted by a handsome waitstaff, and they were seated at the far right corner of the house. Just as Karinna preferred. Table for two, with dim candlelight at roses and sunflowers as their table top design. Maganda ang restaurant, maliit at kaunti lang talaga ang naka-kakain dito. A private and short escape Para sa mga malalaki at sikat na tao katulad nila.They ordered the six course meal, at habang naghihintay sila... sinubukan ni David kausapin ang kanyang asawa. He tried to ask about the weather and the things she has been doing. Sinubukan rin niyang mag biro at magpatawa but all he got was a snort in response. He also tried to talk about food, a topic that Karinna loved to talk about before... But it seems that the only thing that she wants to do with him was to eat. Nothing more, nothing less."Pwede bang kausapin mo naman ako? Kanina pa ako s

Without any form of warning, hinawakan ni David ng mahigpit ang bewang ni Karinna at hinila nya ang dalaga papalapit sa kanya para bigyan ito ng mainit na halik.Agad siyang naitulak papalayo ng dalaga, disgust was evident in her face at nagsimula itong tumakbo papalayo and luckily enough, she hailed a cab instantly. Leaving David behind with a big smile on his face.Ilang minuto pa ang nakalipas at lumapit si David sa may gilid ng restaurant... He knocked on the wooden exterior thrice, and then a camera man emerged from the darkness. Kanina pa sya nagtatago dito, waiting for the perfect time to capture and record what he was asked to do so."Anu-ano yung mga nakunan mo?" Tanong ni David sa misteryosong lalaki. "Did you get any at the restaurant? Nakunan mo ba ang halikan namin?"Tumango ang lalaki at saglit na inayos ang kanyang Camera. Hinarap nya ang monitor dito at pinakita ang mga kuha nyang litrato. Meron sa waiting area, sa table habang umu-order sila pero ang pinaka-nakapagpan

"So... You're back?" Matapang at mataas ang tindigan sa tanong ni Karinna, and yet there was a hint of longing in her eyes. Like the stiffness is her voice and the walls she put up against everyone was slowly beginning to fall apart.Kumawala si Vince sa yakap ni Addalyn sa kanya. Then slowly, he approached Karinna. "Yes." Tumigil lang sya ng ilang hakbang lang ang layo nila sa isa't isa. "I'm back."Matagal na nagkatitigan ang dalawa, not one moved an inch nor flinched in their long and unwinding staring contest. It's a familiar tension that they've felt months ago. Parang nung unang beses na nagkita si Addalyn at si Karinna after their misunderstanding a while ago. But of course, this was different. It was caused by something deeper than a childish fight, and it left everyone completely speechless.And then biglang pumasok si Dumbo sa backstage, catching the attention of everyone.Nang nakita ng lalaki ang nangyayari sa loob ng quiet room. Vince, and Karinna looks as if they were ab

Meron silang fifteen minutes break bago magsimula ang kasunod na segment. Si Mariel, Addalyn at Vhong muna ang host habang sya, si Karinna at Billy naman ang magpapahinga sa kani-kanilang dressing room.Hindi katulad dati na kahit abutin sila ng tatlong oras na tuloy-tuloy na taping hindi sya napapagod. Pero ngayon, kahit may interval breaks sila ay parang sobrang ubos na ubos ang lakas nya sa katawan.Iba pala talaga pag hindi ka na sanay sa dating ginagawa mo.He went to the smoking area of his part of the room, at duon sya tahimik na nagsindi ng sigarilyo.Smoking gives him this sense of calm. Na sa bawat hithit nya ay nababawasan ang kaba at takot nya dahil ang nararamdaman lang nya ay ang tapang ng sigarilyo sa sistema nya.One stick after the other, he stopped counting how many times he breathed in the toxic smoke nung lumampas na sya ng thirty.Kumuha ulit sya ng stick mula sa flip-box ng may biglang pumasok sa pinto. Tumagilid sya ng konti para silipin kung sino man iyon, kuma

Laging sinasabi ng karamihan na tuwing dumadating sa punto ng tao ang puro at hindi malampasang kalungkutan, parang kinuha sa kanila ang pinaka-mahalaga at importanteng mga bagay sa buhay nila. Like the once bliss that was heartfully felt became fleeting. It left no mark, no sense of emotion.The love songs you once loved meant nothing. The things that made you laugh exist only to intensify the numbness that is dwelling inside. Everything in the world seems cold, and slowly you've become in-different.Nakatulala. Wala sa sarili at walang bahid ng emosyon sa katawan nya habang nagsasalita.Isang masamang balita. Isang nakakalugmok na pangyayari. Isang maling nagawa. Isang pangyayari lang, at maaaring pumutok na o mabuhay pa ng isang araw sa mundong punong-puno ng sakit.The only escape was death. A slash on his wrist, then the warm blood on his veins dripped until he felt cold. Until he felt like it was over, and he will no longer suffer.That's what he thought when he almost committed

The Broken Billionaire "71"
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. "You

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
