LegacyGrowing old without a complete family mold the real me.It made me realized a lot of things.It made me think that maybe, it was really me who is the only one believing in myself.It made my heart stronger than a stone because i thought i should'nt let anyone hurt me because in the end, it will be me, alone, who will be with myself."I'm dying," Mahinang sambit ni Dad habang sabay kaming kumakain sa hapag.He gets sick more often, maybe because of aging but day by day, it's getting worse.My mom and dad separated with each other when i was twelve years young.They always argue back then and they decided to end their relationship as if they don't have a child, they don't have me.I was aware of what's happening back then.But i could'nt do anything.I just kept the anger inside me thinking why they did'nt even think if i will be affected by their decision or not.My mom asked me to choose,that was the most scariest question i've ever heard from her.Who do you wanna live with?Wala ak
The old man really went out of town with his wife and kids and left me all alone at home.I am glad.I've been waiting all my life for them to leave this mansion even just for weeks or months.Finally,i'm free."Good thing umalis na ang mga tyanak sa bahay nyo," Ava, my friend giggled while we are inside the salon."As if i'll let them stay there for the rest of their lives," I said before i stood up and picked up my black louis vuitton purse.We went out of the salon and just go straight to the mansion since it's getting dark already.This whole day,i've done nothing but to relaxed and live freely.I wasted a lot of money today,ofcourse i also need to enjoy.I can't just relax without using a big amount of penny."Sana kasama natin si Clara mamaya," Ava pouted while scrolling on the screen of her phone."Clara is busy with their family business."I shrugged my shoulder.We are already infront of the guard house of our own village when my phone rang.I picked it up without looking at the sc
"Fasten your seatbelt," Rafael commanded.Ofcourse we ate together.He was the only one talking while we're eating.It was like,he's trying to get to know me.I thougth he already knew that my behaviour is not that great?says by the filthy mouth of my wicked step mom.I rolled my eyes and did what he said."I'll wear my seat belt because i want to," I said before i leaned my back on the chair and look outside the window.Nasabi sa akin ni Rafael na nag papalipas din ng oras ang kapatid niya dito sa pinas at nananatili sya sa condo.I hope dad won't ask him to be here.I don't want another headache.This man, Rafael is enough to make my eyes roll.Speaking of my dad, he did not call me again after the line ended yesterday.I supposed he's really doing it on purpose.Ofcourse he won't call me again because he knew we will just fight over letting Rafael stay in the mansion until they come back."What time is your dismissal?," Rafael asked as soon as he started to drive.Yes, we are using his fanc
Tahimik lamang si Rafael habang nag mamaneho.What's wrong with this guy?i thought he want to talk to me about something that's why he asked me to get inside his car."I thought you won't fetch me?," I asked."Your dad called me earlier," He said instead of answering my question before he cleared his throat and losen up his neck tie.I rolled my eyes.That old man.Why call this guy instead of me?he really don't want me to kick this annoying guy's ass out of my house huh?So what.Whatever.So what if he won't call me?then i won't argue with him anymore about Rafael staying in our house.Just make sure they both won't regret in the end if Rafael will end up."Hindi mo daw naipasa ang first sem mo, tinawagan sya ng teacher mo para i update-""What!?"Hinarap ko siya habang naka kunot ang aking noo.He gave me a death glare because of my agressiveness."I did not failed my sem!my teacher just said i have possibility to, she never said i failed my sem okay?i am not stupid to fail my sem!"Thi
When our wicked prof came, she asked for silence to introduce the new student who's just outside our room and has'nt show his face to us yet."No, hijo.Halika, huwag kang mahiya," Our prof said.I heard a chuckle from the guy outside."Alright," He said before he walked in that made everyone turn their head on him because of his stromg charisma that is overflowing.He is tall,wearing an eye glass,and handsome as hell,especially he's wearing our university's uniform that literally fits him.He has a long ash gray hair that made him unique."God, unang kita ko palang sa kaniya alam ko nang siya talaga ang naka takda para sa akin," Ava murmured while staring at the guy infront of us, like craving little girl of something she badly wants.I could see her shining eyes twinkled and almost dropping while roaming all around the body of the handsome man."Seriously,Ava?," I asked in a low tone before i chuckled."Good morning,everyone.I am Dos Nathaniel Siveros.It's nice meeting you all."I star
Hindi ako iniimikan at kinakausap ni Rafael, hindi manlang nya ako tinitingnan.Anong problema sa lalaking ito?.We went inside and we both changed our wet clothes first before we went to the lounge where Dos is sitting and silently waiting for us.I sat beside Rafael.Dos started to talk to him and told him everything happened today.He's talkative when he's talking to his older brother."Hindi ko inakala na sya nga ang anak ni tito Armando, hindi naman sila mag kamuka kahit konti," Dos said while glancing at me."But i knew she'll be this pretty," He shrugged his shoulders and smiled at me.I smiled back at him.Nany Rosa came and gave us foods on the mini glass table."Huhugasan ko lang ang mga pinggan, tawagin nyo nalang ako kapag may kailangan kayo," She said before she leave us.I nodded and look back to Dos."Hindi mo naulit sa' kin na ngayong araw ka mag tatransfer sa university nila," Rafael said."Eat," I told Dos.Nakita ko kung paano mangunot ang noo ni Rafael at saka niya ako
"Alright, someone kissed me.But we did not make out," He sighed and glanced at me.See?he kissed someone!and it looks like he enjoyed it!just look at his image right now.He literally enjoyed kissing with other girls.And to whoever that woman is, she's so flirt!how can she suck Rafael's lips and turn it into cherry's color."Why are you so mad?i thought you don't like me?hmm?," He asked and off the engine of his car in the middle of the road wherein no other cars are passing by right now.What the fuck?He leaned his back on his seat before he faced me and stare at my face as if he's observing what will be my next move be.My breathing became heavy."I never said i don't like you!-""Kung ganoon ay gusto mo ako?"My eyes widened and i saw his lips rose."O-ofcourse not!," My voice raised.What the fuck is he thinking?that i like him?hell no!never.I will never like a man who kiss other girls.He chuckled."You're giving me a mixed signals," He conclude.I am trying hard to avoid his star
TagalogI don't understand why but i noticed that Rafael is slowly being nice to me.Not that nice but still, he's trying to adjust with my decisions or wants.After what happened between i and Janine, he tried to assure me that everything will be fine, that he will talk to her and i won't be able to see her again.He assured me that he will be my tutor and about my hair, he will bring me to salon.And there, here we are today, inside the famous salon, treating my damaged hair because of Janine while Rafael is just sitting on the prepared sofa and scrolling through his phone.I don't know why he forced me to come with him.I told him yesterday that i will just go here alone since i knew he's busy with his works, but he did'nt agreed.He still came here with me.I am sure he still have a lot of works to do.Why is he still here?After the hairstylist did my hair, Rafael asked me if i want to eat something."Don't you have work?," I asked instead while staring at his eyes.I have my sunglass o
"Wife, what are you cooking?" Tanong ni Rafael at saka ko naramdaman ang mainit na pag yakap niya mula sa aking likuran.Naramdaman ko pa ang mainit niyang balat kaya naman nasigurado kong wala siyang damit pang itaas."Rafael, put on your clothes.You might get cold," Sambit ko habang nag luluto ng chicken curry.It's been five years and months.Ikinasal kami ni Rafael bago pa man ako manganak sa kambal.That was unexpected but the result turns out fine."Mom, Dad," Nang marinig ko iyon ay kaagad kaming napa lingon ni Rafael sa may pintuan kung saan kakapasok lamang ng mga anak namin ni Rafael.Kumalas sa akin si Rafael at saka nilapitan ang dalawa.Francis Jerome Aragon Siveros , and Sakura Danaya Aragon Siveros.That's their name.Ang pangalan ng lalaki naming anak ay si Dad ang nag bigay at ang pangalan naman ng babae naming anak ay si Lincoln ang nag bigay.They are already four years old now at mag bibirthday na next month."Jiro," I smiled at my son before i came near him to give him
"Our company will release our newest car design," Rafael said in a tone with full of authority while talking to his one investor.Humikab ako habang naka upo sa kaniyang swivel chair at nag suswipe lamang sa aking cellphone.I can't, it's so boring here.Kaya lang naman ako pumunta dito ay dahil gusto kong makasama si Rafael.Natapos ang meeting nila sa loob ng halos isa at kalahating oras kaya naman muntik na akong makatulog sa aking kinauupuan.It's just so boring here.I really can't."Do you want to go home?" Rafael asked while standing beside me and holding a cup of black coffee.Naka pamulsa siya habang humihigop dito at naka titig sa akin.I shook my head."Do you want to eat something?" He asked and i nodded."Name it," He loosen up his neck tie."I don't know it's name," Sambit ko saka ako bumuntong hininga at muling nag scroll sa aking cellphone.Kanina kasi habang nag i scroll ako sa instagram ay may nakita akong pagkain na post ng aking mutual pero hindi ko naman alam kung ano
kami ng kwarto at nadatnan namin ang lahat na nasa lounge at tahimik na nag uusap habang si Mommy ay tahan na pero namumula pa rin ang mga mata.Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na s'ya na itong nasa harapan ko ngayon.Nakakatawa lang na kahit ilang taon na ang lumipas ay hindi ko pa rin nakalimutan ang hitsura n'ya."Stella," Kaagad na sambit ni Tita Jasmine at lahat sila ay natigilan nang makita ako.Napa tingin ako kay Mommy na naka upo sa sofa at naka titig sa akin habang nangungusap ang mga mata."I want to talk to you alone," Malamig na sambit ko at nakita ko naman ang kaagad n'yang pag tango at pag lunok bago s'ya tumayo.Bumaling ako kay Rafael na nasa likuran ko lamang at naka titig din pala sa akin."Rafael, stay here," Sambit ko saka ko s'ya pinakitaan ng ngiti para hindi na s'ya mag alala sa akin."I'll wait here, baby," He nodded before he caressed my elbow.Nauna na akong lumabas kung saan alam kong walang magiging tao maliban sa aming dalawa ni Mommy.Pin
Rafael and his family became more caring to me as if i am way too fragile to touch.Habang buntis din ako ay sa condo kami ni Rafael naka tira pero palagi rin namang nanduon ang pamilya namin dahil tuwang tuwa sila sa tiyan ko na unti unti nang lumalaki."Rafael, stop working," I said while staring at Rafael who's cleaning our bed.Kahit na buntis ako ay nag tatrabaho pa rin sya.Talagang hindi nya pinababayaan ang ipinamanang kumpanya ng angkan niya sa kaniya.Kahit naman na ganuon ay hindi pa rin siya nag kukulang sa pag bibigay ng oras sa akin dahil most of the time ay isinasama nya ako sa office."I need to work hard for our family, Stella," He said before he sat on the bed and raised his head to see me."Come here," Tapik nya sa kaniyang hita kaya naman bumuntong hininga ako at saka naupo roon.Umangat ang aking isang kamay patungo sa kaniyang dibdib at saka ko ito marahang hinaplos."But you're tired," Sambit ko.Hinawakan lamang niya ang tiyan ko na kahit tatlong buwan palang ay
Mainit ang ginawang pag tanggap sa akin ng pamilya ni Rafael.Masayang masaya si Tita Regine at gusto na kaagad iplano ang kasal naming dalawa ni Rafael."Mom, stop-""Dun din naman papunta iyon diba?mas mabuting mag pakasal na kayo!" Masayang sambit ni Tita Regine at hindi naman ako naka sagot."Mommy, hayaan mo na sila Kuya.Malay mo mag break pa sila diba?-""Dos naman," Natatawang sambit ni Tita Regine at nakita ko naman ang pag irap ni Rafael kay Dos.Ngumisi lang ako at saka ibinagsak ang isang kamay sa hita ni Rafael.Kaagad ko rin naman naramdaman ang pag haplos ng kamay nya na nasa aking likuran."Surely we'll end up being married to each other," Sambit ni Rafael kaya naman nag angat ako ng tingin sa kaniya at nakitang naka titig sya kay Dos."Huwag mo nang pakealaman si Rafael ngayon, Regine.Sigurado na ang anak natin," Tawa ng Dad ni Rafael.Pakiramdam ko ay may humaplos sa aking puso nang maramdaman kung gaano sya kasigurado sa akin.I'm also very sure about you, Rafael.Sa m
Marahan at masuyo kong sinimulan ang pag halik kay Rafael hanggang sa maramdaman ko na rin ang pag ganti nya sa bawat halik ko na mas naka dagdag pa ng init sa aking katawan.His lips taste so good.So sweet for a man like him."Hmm" I moaned.Sumandal sya sa sofa at saka huminto sa pag halik sa akin kaya naman naiwan ang bibig ko na basa at naka awang.Halos mapa pikit ako nang marahan nyang halikan ang aking leeg at may kasama pang pag dila iyon kaya naman kinagat ko ang aking labi habang hinahaplos ang balikat niya."Hmm, Rafael," I moaned and i felt him stiffened before he whispered on my neck."Moan my name, baby."Patuloy nyang hinalikan ang aking leeg hanggang sa bumaba ito patungo sa aking collar bone.Mas humigpit ang pag kaka kapit ko sa balikat niya."R-Rafael..." Mahinang sambit ko kaya naman natigilan siya at saka nag angat ng tingin sa akin."Yes, my baby?" He asked softly.Pakiramdam ko ay sobrang pula na ng muka ko ngayon kaya naman napa lunok ako at napa titig sa mga k
Tahimik akong uminom ng tubig at saka ko dinampot ang table napkin para punasan ang bibig ko."You're drunk then?" Baling ko sa kaniya at kaagad naman syang umiling."I had four shots," Sambit nya at tumango naman ako.Pinag masdan ko lang sya na titigan ako.Mukang hindi naman sya kakain..."Ipaliligpit ko nalang ang mga 'to kung 'di ka kakain-""I'll eat," He cutted me.I swallowed hard.Dinampot nya ang fork at spoon saka tahimik na nag simulang kumain.Bumuntong hininga ako at nag patuloy nalang din sa pag kain.Mabilis lang kaming natapos dahil kaunti lang ang kinain ko habang sya naman ay parang pinilit lang ang sarili na kumain.He's quiet.Alam kong ako ang dahilan nuon kaya naman nang matapos na kami ay tumayo na ako."Let's talk outside, can we?" I asked.Tumango sya saka tumayo.Sabay kaming nag tungo sa labas kung saan mas tahimik.Hindi gaanong maliwanag.Kaming dalawa lang ang tao...Humarap ako sa kan'ya at nakita syang naka tayo lamang habang naka titig sa akin.Namumula ang
"Matagal ko ng kilala si Rafael dahil anak sya ng tita Regine mo at sa tuwing nakikita ko sya sa trabaho nya, naiisip ko na sya ang babagay sa iyo," Dad said.Nanatili akong naka titig sa kaniya at hindi umiimik.Hinahayaan ko lamang siya na mag salita kahit na hindi ko gaanong maintindihan kung ano ang mga pinag sasasabi niya."He's a very responsible man.A polite, well-mannered, smart, and powerful man like him, is the best man for you."My lips parted.Now, i'm slowly getting it...Could it be..."Sinadya kong umalis ng bansa para lamang mapakiusapan si Rafael noon na bantayan ka habang wala pa ako sa bahay.Iyon lamang ang tanging dahilan kung bakit nag tagal ako sa ibang bansa, para mabigyan ko kayo ng tamang oras ni Rafael at para lumambot ang puso mo sa kanya," Dad looked at me with a hope.I got it.Hindi ko kaagad napansin na ang bilis nya akong ipinag katiwala kay Rafael kahit na kung tutuosin ay pwede namang sa mga katulong na lang nya ako ihabilin o di kaya ay kay Lincoln.Ku
Rafael and I ended up together on his bed.Nothing happened, natulog lang kaming dalawa.I missed it.I missed sleeping with him.Hindi ko alam na ganuon ang mangyayari ng gabing iyon.Kahit papaano, pakiramdam ko ay nawala ang bigat na nararamdaman ko.Naalimpungatan ako nang maramdaman kong may humahalik sa leeg ko kaya naman marahan kong idinilat ang aking mga mata at natigilan nang makitang naka yakap sa akin ang topless na si Rafael habang naka subsob sa aking leeg at mayat maya ang pag halik duon.Nangunot ang noo ko ngunit walang salita na lumabas sa aking bibig.Kinabig ng kamay ko na nasa batok nya ang kaniyang ulo para mas ilapit sa akin at ramdam ko namang natigilan sya pero nang makabawi ay hinaplos haplos lang ang aking bewang.Geez, i'm still wearing a black puff sleeve and skirt.I'm glad i was able to sleep even if it's uncomfy."Rafael, i'll go home now," I said in a sleepy voice but he did'nt say a word.Marahan kong hinaplos ang kaniyang buhok at bumaba ang kamay ko patu
