“Kuya.” Tawag ko nang makapasok ako sa office niya.

He hummed in response before taking his glasses off, quickly looking up to me.

“What is it?” He asked and closed his laptop.

“I'm craving for something.” Sagot ko at saka ngumiti ng bahagya.

“Anong cravings mo?” Tanong niya at saka tumayo mula sa kanyang kinauupuan.

“Gusto ko ng durian.” Sagot ko na ikinatigil niya.

“But you don't like durian-” Naputol ang kanyang sasabihin nang sumagot ako.

“Please.” I pleaded. “Nung isang linggo ko pa gustong kainin yun.”

He sighed and strode forward, hugging me as soon as he reached me. And I didn't hesitate to hug him back.

“I’ll call my secretary, okay?” He mumbled. “Pasok ka dun sa private room.”

Tumango na lamang ako bilang tugon at nagtungo ruon, casually closing the door afterwards and sat on the edge of the bed as I wait.

    -(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO-FRANCISCO POV)-~•~“Ate, tara na!!!” Sigaw nina Clydel mula sa baba.“In a minute!” Sigaw ko pabalik habang nagiimpake ng gamit sa kwarto.“Emy? Ayos na ba ang lahat?” Tanong ni Maria nang dumungaw ito sa pinto.“Teka nakalimutan ko yung sunscreen.” Sagot ko at saka kinuha sa vanity table ang sunblock.And just as I was about to put the sunblock inside the bag, another contraction was felt, causing me to groan slightly and drop the sunblock on the bed.“Is she kicking?” Maria asked curiously as she grabbed the bottle from me.“She's only six months, Ria.” I muttered anxiously.“Want me to call Momma?” She asked anxiously.“Ow..” I groaned once again, holding my belly once again as I felt a kick.“I’ll call her, you sit down.” Wika niya at saka lumabas ng kwarto.Dinig ko ang pagtawag nito habang ako'y nasa kwarto, and every kick that she did just hurts me.“What happened?” Tanong agad ni Momma nang makapasok sila sa kwarto.“Ang sakit ng tiyan ko.” Sagot ko

    -(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO-FRANCISCO POV)-~Two months later~“Here, these are your calcium and ferrous sulphate. Take them once a day, okay?” My OB reminded me. “You did get a tetanus shot too, right?”“Yes, I did.” I answered with a nod.“Good, balik ka na lang kung may nararamdaman kang kakaiba o di kaya kapag naubos na ang vitamins mo.” She proclaimed. “Okay po, salamat po talaga.” Sagot ko. “Matanong ko lang din po kung ano ang nakalagay na due date ko sa chart niyo.”“Right.” She answered back. “It says here, March 21st is your due date.”“Okay, salamat po dito, Doc. Aalis na po ako.” Wika ko sa kanya.“Sige, mag-iingat ka. Wag mong kalimutan ang prenatal vitamins mo.” Paalala nito muli.I nodded in agreement before heading out, my hand caressing my belly as I head to my brother's car.“So? How did it go?” Lez asked me as soon as I made the final step.“Doctor Fernando gave me vitamins, of course.” Sagot ko.“Wala naman silang nakitang complication? Kay baby?” Tanong niya at sak

And we are thankful for that.” Wika ni Clydel.“I couldn't have done it without you guys, you helped me a lot.” Sagot ko sa kanila. “Especially Ria and Lez.”Napalingon kami nang bumukas muli ang pinto, and seeing Dad teary-eyed as he stared at me caused me to smile a bit.“Nasaan si baby?” Biglang sambit ni Momma nang makalapit ito sa akin.“Natutulog.” Sagot ko at saka tiningnan ang baby na nasa tabi ko.“May pangalan na ba siya?” Tanong ni Dad.“Nag-iisip pa ako, eh.” Sagot ko.“Let's name her Marie.” Saad ni Ria. “Para pareho kami.”“Kayla.” Suhestiyon ni King. “Kayla Marie.”“Pwede rin yun.” Wika ni Lez. “Or, Ria Corleen.”“I

    -(JEAN EVOLET LUXEMBOURG POV)-~§~“What?” She asked shockingly.“You heard me, I’m pregnant.” I answered happily as I talked with her through the phone.“Oh my gosh, I’m so happy for you Eve. Congrats.” She answered back. “You are finally going to have a baby.”“God does indeed answer prayers, Lyn.” I intoned. “And I can't wait to see her.”“Make me a godmother once she's in your arms.” She answered happily.“Sure, I’ll never forget about that.” I said. “We should celebrate right now.”“Celebrate?” She asked. “Where?”“Here, at our place.” I answered. “I’ll text you the address.”“You're in the Philippines, right?” She asked. “If you're in some country, I can't go.”“Yes, we’re in the Philippines right now. My husband's working here for the meantime.” I retorted.“Okay, I’ll bring my daughter with me if that's fine.” She said. “I don't want to leave her.”“Of course, that way I can meet her too.” I answered happily. “I'll hang up now, I’ll text you the address.”“Okay, bye bye.” She

It was still hanging on the wall, yet everything around it changed.From the walls p

And I couldn't erase the scene from a while ago.(Emy…)(Anong ginagawa mo rito?)Everything felt different, and he was–he was so matured looking. Those cognac brown eyes that were once filled with affection, were now filled with anger and disdain.“I am asking you, Emy.” Giit ni Lez na nakapagpabalik sa akin sa reyalidad.“Galing kami sa kaibigan ko.” Sagot ko na lang. “Iaakyat ko na muna si Deanna.”Kahit na tinatawag pa ako nito ay hindi ko na siya pinansin pa, at basta na lang nagtungo at umakyat ng hagdan bitbit si Deanna.~§~“Saan kayo galing, te?” Tanong ni Clydel nang makita niya ako sa backyard.“Galing kami sa kaibigan ko. Nag-celebrate lang.” Sagot ko bago sumimsim sa hawak na basong may wine.“Bakit parang hindi ka masaya?” Tanong naman niya ulit at saka umupo sa tabi ko.“Pag

Why are you avoiding me?” She asked again.“I have so many things in mind, and I don't want to open up.” I lied. “Especially with your state.”“You can at least talk to me, that way I can at least give you some comfor

Kamusta?” Tanong nito na may ngiti sa labi.“Ayos lang ako, kayo?” Tanong ko naman. “Kamusta na si Kaji?”“Hanggang ngayon hindi pa umuuwi, busy daw sa trabaho.” Sagot nito. “Mabuti na lang tinutulungan ako ni Kuya Max mag-alaga.”“That's good to know, malaki na rin sila.” Giit ko at saka sumilip sa kanyang likod na kung saan nagtatago ang dalawa.“Oo nga, pero hindi sila sanay sa maraming tao.” Sagot naman nito. “Nao-overwhelm sila.”“Masasanay din sila, kung hindi, hayaan mo na.” Sagot ko na lamang. “Nga pala, kamusta na kayo ng asawa mo?” Tanong nito muli. “Narinig ko buntis daw siya.”“Oo, buntis nga.” Sagot ko at saka ngumiti nang bahagya.“Congrats, magkakaroon ka na rin ng anak.” Giit nito na may ngiti.“Oo nga, excited na ako.” Sagot ko. “Oh siya, aalis na ako.

    -(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)- ~2 years later~ “Deanna! Halika na at malelate ka na!” Tawag ko habang nilalagay ang mga kailangan niya sa trunk. “Momma, I can't find my other shoe!” Sigaw nito na nagmumula sa loob. Nagtungo ako muli sa loob at kinuha ang lunchbox niya sa coffee table at tinulungan siyang maghanap, at mabuti na lang ay nakita ko ito. “Oh, ito. Suotin mo na.” Utos ko habang ina-alalay siya. Nang masuot na niya iyon ay kinuha ko na rin ang bag ko at sabay kaming lumabas, locking the door before heading to the car and made her sit at the back seat. “Momma, are we going to school?” Tanong niya habang ina-adjust ko ang seat belt nito. “Yes, darling. You’re going to school and Momma– Momma is going to work.” Sagot ko at saka siya hinalikan sa pisngi. “Isn't daddy ninong going to take me to school?” Tanong niya ulit. “No honey, because daddy ninong has work to do.” Sagot ko at saka nagtungo sa driver's side. Dali-dali ko nang pinaandar iyon at umalis, 30 minutes d

    -(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)- ~•~ As I pulled up to the side of the road, nagtataka ako kung bakit may mga elf truck sa harap ng bahay nina Gelal, at ang daming lalaking naglalabas at nagpapasok ng mga gamit. “What the heck?” I whispered to myself and got out of the car. May namataan akong isang lalaking may hawak na clip board, ngunit bago ko ito tawagin ay may tumawag sa pangalan ko. “Yes?” Tanong ko nang namataan ko ang isang babaeng patungo sa akin. “You’re Emerald, yes?” Tanong nito pabalik na may bahagyang ngiti sa labi. “Ako nga, ba’t mo ako kilala?” Pagtataka ko habang hawak ang isang envelope. “Kuya told me everything about you, darling.” Sagot niya habang hindi umaalis ang ngiti sa labi. “Oh, okay. Kuya mo si Gelal?” I asked. “Never mind, nandito ba siya? Kailangan ko lang siyang-” “He’s not here, Emerald. He left.” Sagot nito sa akin. “Saan siya pumunta?” “He left for France, went to see his– I don't know. Wife?” Giit nito na parang hindi sigurado. “Oh– but, w

With no choice and due to exhaustion, I entered the guest room to settle my things.Patuloy kong minumura ang aking sarili habang inaayos ko ang mga gamit ko sa closet, at alam kong sinira ko ang kanyang tiwala– Big time.-(JEAN EVOLET LUXEMBOURG POV)-~•~As I was making some food for Gelal to eat, numer

Kaunting tiis na lang.” Sagot ko at saka ito niyakap.“But I want to sleep na, Ma.” She yawned once again.Ngumiti na lamang ako nang bahagya at saka ito binuhat, letting her sleep in my arms as we waited.“Pasensya ka na kung nadamay ka sa gulo namin, nak.” Bulong ko rito at saka hinalikan ang kanyang noo.The cool breeze kept blowing as I waited, and I couldn't help but feel sleepy.A few minutes passed by, but there were still no headlights heading towards this direction, which caused me to sigh and close my eyes for a bit.-♪-“Emy.” Someone murmured my name, and all of which seems to be a blur.“Emy.” It called once again. “Emy, wake up.”As I came to my senses, with my vision getting clear once again, I

Bakit parang nag-iiba na ang ihip ng hangin ngayon?” Biro ko sa kanya.Tumawa na lamang ito bilang tugon at nag-usap muna kami ng ilang minuto habang hinihintay si Gelal, hanggang sa dumating na sina Dad ay wala pa rin ito.“Nasaan na ba ang asawa mo, Emerald?” Tanong ni Dad sa akin habang nakakunot ang noo. “May aasikasuhin pa ako sa opisina.”“Baka po na-stuck lang sa traffic.” Sagot ko. “Tawagan ko na lang po ulit.”Kinuha ko muli sa bag ang aking cellphone at akmang pipindutin ang kanyang numero, nang biglang sumigaw si Deanna at saka umalis.“Deanna!” Tawag ko ngunit nakita ko na sinalubong pala nito si Gelal.Pinanood ko itong buhatin
