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.

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.

When you're standing on the stage in front of thousands of people cheering and rooting for you, you'll no longer notice the presence of those who despise your existence. "Oh, ano na Karinna! Cheer up naman, sis! Tingnan mo ikaw, you always tell everyone to be positive, yet here you are... Melodramatic and melancholic as ever." Adda continued with her never ending rant habang naglalakad sila papasok ng stage, along with them are Velle, Billy, Christine, John and Theodore, Kimberly, Rizza and of course... Vince. Karinna sighed and leaned her to the side, it's been a long battle for her. Those two long years of going in and out of those therapy sessions had been hard. Lalo lang syang nahihirapan because her husband hasn't been cooperating. Ang hirap na, nakakapagod. "Adda, please naman. You know that mornings have been awful for me. Lalo na at nakikita ko si..." "Of course magiging miserable ang buhay mo! Bakit mo pa kasi pinagpipilitan na ayusin yang Marriage na yan! You should've ju

Karinna watched in horror as nurses pace back and forth inside the intensive care unit. It's been four hours since the operation. The bullet had been successfully removed, but the damage had been underestimated. They didn't expect this kind of hemorrhage. Hindi na niya bilang kung ilang nurse ang naglabas pasok sa Room at tuwing may naririnig siyang sigaw na CODE BLUE ay para siyang mamamatay sa sobrang sakit na dulot ng matinding kirot sa dibdib nya. She remained quiet, faint sobs and shaking hands from fear and guilt. Dapat ako yun. Dapat ako. Dapat ako! Patuloy niyang sinisigaw sa sarili. "Karinna." Nanginginig ang boses ni Adda nung tinawag niya ang kanyang kaibigan. "I called his family. They booked tickets and said they're coming as soon as they can. Lovelia and the other naman are doing their best to help the detectives Para umpisahan na ang Investigation." Tumango lang si Karinna at napatingin sa damit nyang punong puno ng dugo. Vince's blood. "Hindi to totoo." She whispered

A few minutes had passed and Angela finally received a text na nasa Building na ng St. Luke's si Karinna, buong akala nya eh magkasama ang dalawa ni Adda. Which is why panic instantly overcame her when she noticed that the lady in front of her was standing alone. Without a doubt in her mind she knows that if Emmanuel and Karinna end up meeting each other, it would end as dirty and as messy as it did before.Nagmadaling bumaba at tumakbo papalabas ng elevator ang dalaga. Laking pasasalamat nya naman sa Diyos ng maabutan nya na nakatayo at naghihintay si Karinna sa information Center ng hospital.As expected maraming paparazzi ang nakatayo at naghihintay sa labas ng Hospital. This is one of the things na iniiwasan ng Visencio family, na hanggang sa huling hininga ni Vince eh ginagawa pa rin siyang laman ng dyaryo at hanggang ngayon pinag-pipyestahan ng tao.Angela mustered the last courage that she had and approached the latter. "Ms. Karinna, pwede po bang hintayin nyo muna si Miss Adda

There was something odd that morning. The sun was strong against his eyes and the different colors inside the room proved to be too much. He closed his eyes momentarily, he shaked his head lightly all the while trying his best to keep his thoughts straight. Napakapit sya ng mahigpit sa armrest ng wheelchair, nadala ng takot dahil baka mahulog sya dito. Bakit sya nakasakay sa wheelchair? Anong nangyari? Nahimatay nanaman ba sya habang nag-tataping?Gusto nyang tumayo mag-isa at umuwi dahil sobrang nalilito sya sa nangyayari pero napatigil sya ng may makita syang babaeng papalapit sa kanya."Ready ka na ba?" Tanong ng isang unfamiliar na babae sa kanya. "Don't be scared. Ako si Mariza. I've met you a few times already... Ewan ko lang kung tanda mo ako."Met a few times already? Napakunot ang noo nya dahil hindi nya maalala ang mukha ni pangalan ng dalaga. Who was she? Why is he here? Bakit nakasuot sya ng hospital gown at ang dalaga naman eh nakasuot ng uniporme na hindi pamilyar sa kan

It's not their first time na nag sinungaling sila sa totoong nangyari. Because a year and a half has passed yet Vince's memory has been compromised. Ika nga, there are days that he'd remember but more of it, he'll eventually forget.‘He thinks it's still the year 2016... or even 2017, maybe 2018. His speech therapist had proven that fact. He talks about being late for work, talks about what is the next story in Probinsyano. He has no idea that just a few months from now then it's 2023. We have to adjust for him, or else his stress levels may rise again and cause further damage to his memories. We still don't know if it's a mild case of anterograde amnesia or retrograde amnesia. All we can do now is run some more tests if he has other problems other than this, and pray for the best. Naalala nya yung sinabi ng Doctor sa kanilang lahat six months ago.’"A--Addalyn?" Tanong ni Vince sa kaibigan.Nginitian sya ng Velle. "Ganun parin, enjoy na enjoy sa pagiging terror na examiner para sa fu

He felt the sun's ray reach his eyes, it was a stinging sensation and it woke him up from his sleep. Napaungol si Vince ng may maramdaman syang mabigat na nakapatong sa dibdib at sa may hita nya. He looked on his right side at muntik na syang mahulog sa kama ng makita nyang may nakayakap sa kanya.Makinis na braso at pisngi. Mapula-pulang labi at matangos na ilong. Mahabang pilik mata at ang hindi nya makakalimutang signature trait na kulot na buhok ng dalaga. "Ka... Karinna." Paano nga ba nya ito malilimutan? Ang dating kakulitan na nahantong sa pagkakabuo ng emosyon na kahit kailan ay hindi nya akalaing mararamdaman para sa isang babae."Ke...kelan pa." Tanong nya sa dalagang natutulog ng mahimbing. His whisper hinted happiness, fulfilling his longing... He missed her much. After waiting for her to come, finally she's here. Ilang araw din syang solo dito, nag-iisa, naiinip at naghahanap ng makakausap.He's happy to see her, yet was shy to face her at the same time. Paano nga ba nya

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
