I stared at my phone and kept refreshing my email a few times, thinking that I just read Angela’s message wrong. But it is clearly stated in the email that she is filing for a three day leave. Hanggang sa makalabas ako ng kwarto ay nakakunot pa rin ang noo ko.
“Casimir, ang aga aga, bakit ganyan ang mukha mo?”
Napalingon ako sa nagsalita, and I saw my dad sitting by the counter top drinking a cup of coffee. I took a quick glance around my condo and saw his luggage by the door. Looks like he really came.
“Dad, it’s so early in the morning. Why are you nagging me?” I grabbed my cup and prepared my tea. If Angela’s not at the office, that only means I have to take my tea now. She will not be t

AngelaI am currently in the ICU and looking at Kuya Angelo. He’s still unconscious but Ken just told me that they will be moving him into a new room this day.“Mommy, is he gonna be okay?”I looked down at Asher and he’s also looking at him. There were tears in his eyes, and it breaks my heart more.“He will be. He promised to play with you, right?”“Yeah, but he should really take a good rest. He has a lot of wounds, and I know that hurts.”I sat on his level and brushed some hair strands that covered his eyes.“Are you going to help me take care of your

AngelaThe box fell out of my hands as I also fell into the ground. My whole body was shaking and I stared at the picture. The little girl from the picture was playing and I can clearly see her face.“Mommy!” Asher was shaking me and I just looked at him. I can see panic from his eyes but I can’t even let out a single word.This can’t be. Ashley died years ago and it was confirmed by the hospital.My tears started to fall and my senses became dull.

Angela***March 27, 2015I raised my glass of cognac as I looked at the people inside the bar, and it looks like they are having fun. I wish I could do that too.I took a sip from my drink as I glanced at the guy who sat beside me."Two shots of cognac please."The bartender immediately prepared two servings of the cognac that he ordered.I saw him glancing at me while waiting for his drink, at dahil hindi na ako nakatiis sa mga sulyap niya ay hinarap ko na siya. He's handsome and if I'm in the mood, I will surely flirt with him. But I'm not really in the mood because of what happened earlier."Yes? Is there any problem?" mataray kong tanong."Would you mind having a drink with me?"I laughed sarcastically before looking at him. “No, thank you.”&

Angela"Angela? Wake up, we're here."Kinusot ko ang mata ko at napatingin ako sa labas.The fog is covering the entire parking lot and the overlooking view of the place. There is a three-storey building and its walls are surrounded by vines. May mga bulaklak din sa paligid at may ilan ding hanging plants sa harap.Pagpasok namin sa cafe ay may ilang customers na. Napatingin ang mga staff sa kasama ko at sa akin."Good morning. Ellisa!" bati ng cashier."Good morning, Ella. Nasaan ang iba?""Wait a minute."Pumasok siya sa isang pintuan at paglabas niya ay may kasama na siya ng tatlong babae."Hi guys. I want you to meet Angela Jade Cordova. She will be working here from now. Take care of her. Okay?""Noted, boss!" sabay-sabay nilang sagot."Great. Angela, I want you to meet the g

AngelaJanuary 14, 2022"Sagitarius, is everything clear?" "Yup. Just like the night sky." I hugged myself as the cold wind blew."Sag, there is a storm outside. Are you telling us something is not right?""Just kidding. Calm down, Libra. I can do this. I can already see the target.""Just make sure that he will see you.""I already have a plan. Don't worry. I've been in this field for four years, for Pete's sake! Trust me on this one!""Oh yeah? And just how many targets did you knock out before even gathering information? Even when you were in the intelligence unit, you were way too impatient. I can't even believe that I've been working with you for almost seven years!""Come on, Libra. Yo

Angela "Mommy, Mommy, wake up." I groaned as I felt Asher gently pushing me. "Mommy!" I yawned and gently held his face. "Just me another five minutes, Honey." I covered myself with a blanket and hugged a pillow. I was about to close my eyes but Asher pulled my blanket. "You promised me that we will have a stroll today! It's already 10:00, Mommy!" I rubbed my eyes before sitting and ruffled Asher's hair. "Okay, okay. Get me my hair brush first." He jumped out of bed and ran towards my table. "Mommy, ang gulo naman ng table mo! I can't find your hair brush!" He scratched his head out of frustration as he continued to search for my hair brush. After a few minutes, he handed me my brush. "I'll go take a bath!" tumakbo na siya palabas ng kwarto. Narinig ko pa siya ng pinagalitan ni Ellisa dahil muntik na siya ng madulas.

AngelaIt's already Monday morning and I'm already wearing corporate attire and in the passenger seat lies the folder that contains my resume.Maaga akong umalis sa apartment na tinitirahan namin ni Asher. Pag-alis ko ay tulog pa siya but Ellisa's with him."Do your best shot, Sag. This is our only way to get near him."Pagdating ko sa eleventh floor kung saan gaganapin ang final interview ay iilan lang ang nandoon, which only means that out of hundreds of applicants, only a few passed the initial interview yesterday.Ilang sandali pa na tapos na ang lahat ng applicants at ako na ang natawag. There is only one guy doing the interview.Narinig ko na tumunog ang earpiece na suot ko. It was actually an earpiece and at the same time, a micro-camera that is disguised as a simple earring.

Angela Two weeks have already passed and I can confidently say that I'm doing my job nicely. In my first week, I haven't been able to sleep properly because of my suspicions. I have been thinking of a way to get his blood or even a strand of his hair for a Paternity test. My gut feeling tells me he's the man I've slept with seven years ago. But how come he didn't recognize me? "Angela, where is my tea?" I rolled my eyes as I went to the counter to prepare his tea. Why can't he even prepare his own drink? Is he a kid? Even Asher can prepare his own drink every morning.

Angela“Rence, my target,” I felt my voice begin to crack. “He’s Asher’s dad.” I looked at her and there I couldn't even see any emotions in her face or eyes. I guess it’s already a part of her. I guess that’s what makes her the current head of the organization. There are higher ups but they only act as a guide, and they mostly observe our decisions. They never intervene unless needed. Afterall, the higher ups are the retired elites.“Aren’t you supposed to tell Rence this right now instead of me?”She continued moving around and I just stood right here in my place speechless.“Look, Angela. If he is indeed Asher’s dad, he has the right to know.”“He will take him away.”&nbs

AngelaProbability of Paternity: 99.9999%Patuloy pa rin ang panginginig ng kamay ko at paulit-ulit binabasa ang papel na hawak ko. Nalukot na lang iyon dahil na rin sa higpit ng pagkakahawak ko.Dali-dali kong kinuha ang laptop ko at ipinatong iyon sa table ko. Pero nang buksan ko iyon ay natulala ako.How am I supposed to find information from several years ago? Where do I even start? From the incident at the bar? Rence’s background information that I already have a background with? The legibility of the test?Ihinilamos ko ang kamay ko sa mukha ko at huminga nang malalim. I am still shaking and I glanced at Asher who’s still sleeping soundly.

Angela“Finally! You’re here!”Hindi pa man din ako nakalalapit ay nabatukan na agad ako ni Ken.“I thought you'd be home before 7 p.m.! Asher is already asleep in your quarters. He’s been waiting for you. Your brother may still be in a coma, but he’s been showing a little bit of improvement. Seems like he's a fighter.”“I’m sorry. I was all over the place earlier and I didn’t notice we were already on our way to Tagaytay,” I gave him a paper bag before slyly smiled at him. “Sorry. Although I can’t promise I won’t do it next time. I still need a lot of favors from you.”Kinuha niya ang paper bag sa akin at inakma pang ihahampas sa akin. He gritted his teeth, “You shoul

Rence We were on our way back to the parking lot when Angela asked me for the car keys and I just looked at her confused. She just sighed before looking at me directly into my eyes, “I’ll drive us back. You should take a rest.” “I can drive. You’re the one who should take a rest.” “I insist. Don’t worry I won’t crash the car with you in it.” She cracked a smile at me and I just shook my head in defeat before handing her the keys. I gave her a smirk and jokingly said, “So you’re saying that you would crash my car if you’re driving it alone?” “It depends on my mood. If you pissed me off when that day comes, I would probably crash it.” “You’re crazy.” “And you’re bossy.” I just laughed at her and went inside the car. It was rush hour when we were driving back to the company. And honestly, the lo fi music that Angela played made me more sleepy. “I told you that you can sleep. It’s a long drive.” “That’s why I need to stay up. I don’t want to feel alone when you’re driving.”

AngelaHalos twenty minutes din kami naghintay bago makaupo sa isa sa mga karinderya na nakahilera. Mahogany Market is known for the variety of Bulalo stalls and sometimes, it would take hours to get seated.“I wasn’t informed that you were also a fan of food stalls like these,” sabi ko habang itinatali ko ang buhok ko.“I really didn't like eating in these kinds of places before. But Ian insisted that I should try it sometimes.”“And now, you went here for the experience?”“Not really. I just kind of miss the place, the noise, and just like what I’ve said earlier. I want to eat Bulalo.”“Iba ka rin magcrave,

AngelaIt was almost 7 A.M. when I woke up. Asher is still peacefully sleeping beside me and I softly smiled at the sight of him.I was getting my keys when I heard a soft knock from my door. I was greeted by Ellisa and she handed me a paper bag. There was a custard cake and a large cup of hot caramel macchiato.“I’m pretty sure that you won’t get any breakfast on your way so I made sure to give you that. At least eat it on your way to work. You already look pale and tired.”“I will. Thank you.”“Hindi ka na ba talaga magpapapigil?” humalukipkip siya at tumingin sa akin.“They might get suspiciou
