-(EMERALD CORLYN V. FRANCISCO POV)-

-დ-

I didn't expect Dean would also be here, not to mention that I left the Philippines two years ago. I mean, maybe it was just a coincidence that we're both here?

Who knows diba? Malay mo nauna pa siyang dumating dine kaysa sa akin.

I sighed at the thought. Hindi ko naman din siya dapat iniisip dahil marami pa akong gagawin, I still have to renovate the entire house space, install new furniture and more floating shelves but it would take time if I did it on my own.

Napaupo ako sa sofa and grabbed our wedding photo. I smiled as I caressed the side of his picture, wishing that he was here with me...

My Gelal...

"Bubby... successful na ako… ilang months or years na lang... uuwi na ako, okay? I love you." Smbit ko bago halikan ang litrato nito.

It has been a two years since umalis ako ng pilipinas and I told my brother Clydel na bantay bantayan ang asawa ko on which he agreed.

I am so proud everytime he did an achievement, mapa simple man or engrand

    -(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--დ-Tangina niya, nahuli na nagmamaang maangan pa.Kung hindi ko lang nacontrol ang sarili ko, siguro nabasag ko na ang pagmumukha nung gagong yun.But it kept me wondering, bakit naisipan ni Jace na tawagan si Emy? What was his fucking motive? And by the way he looked at me, halatang nagsisinungaling siya. Ayaw lang niyang sabihin.Kung hindi lang din dumating si Kaji, baka nasimulan ko ng paduguin ang pagmumukha niya.Oh, fuck him…Pumikit ako ng mariin bago sumimsim sa alak na hawak ko. It was already 3:00 in the morning ngunit hindi pa rin ako makatulog.I still have to go to work tomorrow because of an early meeting with the shareholders and other executives on con one.I grabbed my wallet that was placed on the nightstand, staring at her picture over and over."Damn it, bakit ba ayaw mo matanggal sa isip ko?" Sambit ko sa sarili ko as I placed the beer bottle on top of the nightstand."You're always on my mind, Corlyn… kamusta ka na ba?" I asked,

    -(CHASE YVESMARK ALDANA POV)--❦-I woke up in a white background surrounding me, the tingling and stinging pain coming from my leg and my forearm caught my attention.Fuck am I dead?"You're awake." Napatingin ako kung saan nanggaling ang boses na yun.I looked around, realising that J was in a hospital room. Seeing Ameer and Gelal beside me but... Someone is missing…"Where's Aleina? What am I doing here?" I asked, curiosity was filling my mind."Why don't you take a rest for now? I'm pretty sure you're tired and in pain." Saad ni Ameer but I shook my head."Tell me where my Aleina is. Hindi ako magpapahinga hanggat hindi ko siya nakikita." Sagot ko rito, my eyebrows furrowed.Gelal took a deep breath. "Aleina... she died..." He almost mumbled the words ngunit narinig ko iyon.Tila ba gumuho ang mundo ko nang marinig ko iyon, pakiramdam ko binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig nang malaman ko na namatay ito.She was already mine, why did they take her away from me? I was ready to chang

    -(EMERALD CORLYN V. FRANCISCO POV)--✦-Noong nakaraan ko pa siya hinihintay ngunit wala akong natatanggap na tawag mula rito. Matagal na ring nakatengga ang maleta ko sa sulok dahil sa kakahintay.Ilang beses ko rin pinadalhan ng mensahe ang numero nito ngunit hindi naman siya sumasagot so I decided to leave it be and just focus on my work. Hindi naman yun pupunta Emy, bakit ka ba umaasa?I was currently editing a brochure that I've been working on for a few days when Dean started to call me. We eventually exchanged numbers after the shelve installation in case na may ipapalagay pa ako sa kanyang ibang floating shelves or minimalistic drawers.Tiningnan ko muna iyon bago damputin upang sagutin ang tawag."Yow, what's up?" Sagot ko, still focused on the brochure that I'm editing."Hey, do you have something to do tonight?" He asked at the other end of the line."Not much, just some editing and going to bed after that. Why?" I asked, saving the draft before closing my laptop."Well,

Telling him to keep it a secret for a thousand times.But this fucking bastard ain't listening to me until he eventually stopped at the balcony while a cold expression was plastered on his face."How many times do I have to tell you? She kissed me, Raj. I'm not the one who kissed her." Sagot ko. "You got it all wrong." Dagdag ko rito in a calm way."Wrong? Yeah, right. A few weeks back you were like a wolf that is ready to pounce on me dahil nalaman mo na nakausap ko ang asawa mo. Ngayon, ikaw naman din pala ang gagawa ng katarantaduhan behind Emy's back." Sagot niya pabalik as he leaned on the balcony's railings."Don't bring Emy up to this, she has nothing to do with this conversation." Saad ko, unti unti na akong naiinis sa gagong to."Oh, I have the right to bring her up to this conversation. She is your fucki

Never minding the headache I was feeling.Kinuha ko iyon to see it was 5:00 in the morning before turning it off. Lumingon ako sa bintana na nasa tabi ng kama ko, seeing it was still dark outside.Tumayo na ako ng kama at naghanda ng mga gagamitin para sa trabaho nang marinig kong may tumatawag sa cellphone ko.Tiningan ko ang caller ID, seeing it was Dean. Nagdalawang isip pa ako kung sasagutin ko ba iyon o hindi.Until I eventually answered it, nakakarindi ang paulit ulit na pagtunog ng cellphone ko."Hello?" I asked in a morning voice."Hey, beautiful. Good morning." Sagot nito."Yeah, good morning. Anong meron? Bat ka tumatawag?" I asked habang patungo sa kusina upang magluto ng almusal."Well, I just want to say sorry about last night. I was such an idiot for doing that." Sagot nito."Ayos lang iyon." Sagot ko pabalik as I checked the fridge to see if there was anything avail

    -(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-~°~It was 5:20 in the afternoon as I kept staring at the glass wall, watching the sun as it went down.I haven't talked to Axzie for a while and mas mabuti na rin siguro iyon. Her multiple messages and missed calls always filled my notifications ngunit wala akong oras para sagutin ang mga iyon.And the fact Emy slept with Dean made me want to kill that bastard in an instant.Hindi ko rin makalimutan ang nangyari kanina with Jescel. She was audacious to plead and want me back but I don't want to, ayoko. Ayokong bumalik sa kanya.Kaya kung ano man ang sasabihin niya kay Emy, wala akong pake.Since may business trip rin ako to California with Mr. Trinculo, that will be the perfect time to look for her.I heard the door being opened but I didn't mind who it was, I just stared at the glass wall as I sat down on my swivel chair."Sir, everything is ready." I knew kung kanino ang boses na iyon, but I chose to ignore it.Sumimsim ako ng alak sa baso bago ako

Mabuti na lang ay tumawag siya."Mr. Trinculo, kanina pa po ako naghihintay. Where are you?" I asked nang sagutin ko ang tawag."Pasensya na, Mr. Francisco ngunit mukhang hindi matutuloy ang business trip natin." Sagot nito na ikinataka ko."Bakit naman?" Tanong ko as I stood up dahil sasakay na ako ng eroplano."Namatay ang asawa ko, Mr. Francisco. And we are in the stage of mourning right now, kaya pagpasensyahan mo na kung hindi tayo matutuloy." Sagot nito.Perfect timing…"Ayos lang yun, Mr. Trinculo. Naiintindihan ko. Condolence sa inyo ng pamilya mo." Sagot ko bago patayin ang tawag.Nang patayin ko na ang tawag, I switched it to aeroplane mode as I made my way to the security screening.-♥︎-As I sat down on my seat with my luggage in the compartment, I looked outside, seeing it was dark out.

Saad ko as I pushed him away, my brows furrowed.I removed myself from the hug and saw his confused expression. But I don't give a shit about it, I don't give a shit about his feelings."What's wrong? Aren't you happy that I'm here?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowed."Bakit ka nandito?" I asked. "After all the things you did to me, you are audacious to come show your face at my front door." Dagdag ko, expression unchanged."What are you talking about, Emy?" He asked again confusingly."What am I talking about? I should be asking you, Lal. How can you do this to me?" I asked na lalong nagpakunot ng kanyang noo."Do what, Ems? I'm here to live with you. What do you-" Naputol ang kanyang sasabihin nang sumagot ako."Live with me? After all the shit that you did behind my fucking back!? You decide to live with me!?" I snapped, my voice gett

Tanong ko, seeing her lifting a basket of dirty clothes.It has been seven months since we flew back, and I’m still not used to it when she’s around the house, lalo na kung ako parati ang tinatawag niya upang may tumulong rito.“Bakit ba ako ang parating tinatawag mo? Nandiyan ang asawa mo ah.” Saad ko at saka kinuha ang laundry basket sa kanya.“Wala siya, nasa trabaho. And besides, wala namang ibang-” Naputol ang kanyang sasabihin nang sumagot ako.”“Jes, may yaya dito sa bahay. Pwede mo silang utusan na maglaba.” Giit ko bago siya talikuran upang dalhin ang maruruming damit sa laundry room.Kahit nagsasalita pa ito ay hindi ko na siya pinansin pa, her voice makes my eardrums hurt.As I walked through the hallway, nakasalubong ko si Axzie, at bakas sa kanyang ekspresyon ang pagtataka.“Bat ka may dalang ganyan?” She asked curiously

Sabi mo sabay tayong mawawala dito sa mundo, pero bakit ka nauna?” I whispered as I touched his carved name on the stone.“Hey, Lal.” Wika ni Jace as he sat beside me. “I did what you told me to do… please guide her as she heals…” Dagdag nito sa kanyang sinabi.“Always..” I whispered. “Please, magpakita ka sakin kahit sa panaginip lang..” I whispered once more before standing up, quickly walking away because the pain and grief was too much to bear.“Emy, wait!” Sigaw pa ni Jace.Ngunit hindi ko na siya pinansin pa, mas nangingibabaw ang sakit at lungkot sa sistema ko nga

Hintayin kita dito.” Saad nito na ikinangiti ko.Dali dali akong nagtungo sa cotton candy stand at bumili ng dalawa, thinking if he also wants one. Nang makabili ako ay bumalik ako kung nasaan si Dean, giving him the cotton candy that I bought.“Gusto mong magrides?” Tanong nito bago kumain sa kanyang corndog.“Sure, anong rides ba ang gusto mo?” Tanong ko naman pabalik.“Vikings.” Sagot niya. “Ubusin mo na yan para makasakay na tayo.” Dagdag nito sa kanyang sinabi.“V-Vikings?” Tanong ko muli na may bahid ng kaba.“Oo, ayaw mo ba?” Giit nito.“Takot ako sa heights, nalulula ako.” Ani ko bago tumingin sa malaking ferris wheel na

Can we talk?” He asked with a small smile on his face.“I can’t-” Naputol ang aking sasabihin nang sumagot ito.“Please.” He pleaded, reaching for my hand before holding it tightly.I sighed. “Fine, ano yun?” Tanong ko naman.“I want to talk about last night.” He started. “I just want to tell you that, I never felt a sensual sensation towards you.” He added, which confused me.“What do you mean ‘you never felt a sensual sensation’?” I asked confusingly.“I never felt it, because all I felt for you was love.” He retorted. “Love and care, and I want to take this ‘friendship’ further.” Dagdag nito sa kanyang sinabi.“Okay, pag-iisipan ko.” Ayun na lamang ang sinagot ko dahil wala akong maisip na pwedeng isagot ng matino rito.“Let me court you, Emy.” S

Axzie mentioned as she snuggled in my embrace.I took it out from my pocket and saw it was Frances' name on the caller ID.Anong meron?"Who is it?" Tanong nito, looking up at me with curiosity."Just a friend, I have to take this call okay?" I retorted before kissing her cheek, making my way to the front porch.I saw Kuya Khaleed and Kuya Ameer in the front yard, just chilling with their wives as their kids played with each other."Hello Zyair?" I asked nang sagutin ko na ang tawag."Hey, Kaj. I know it's kinda late, but can you fly over to the US?" He asked, worry was evident in his tone."Why, what's wrong? Don't tell me it's about Lorelei…" I started, my brows furrowed by the thought of her.This bitch still messing with me."No, it's not about her.” He retorted, hearing him sniff made me a bit anxiou

We were both quiet before I lit up a smoke, puffing it away from her face."Ang kapal naman ng mga mukha niyo, dito pa talaga kayo sa bar ng kapatid ko." I started, disbelief was laced in my words."Hindi ka na ba talaga titigil? Akala ko ba tapos na tayo?" She retorted as she was about to take the cigar from me pero inilayo ko iyon.I smirked. "Oo, tapos na nga tayo. But seeing you? With that fucking man…" I ran my fingers through my hair. "Parang pinapakita mo lang sa akin na madali akong palitan." Giit ko bago tumingin sa ibang direksyon."Bakit? Nung ako ang wala sa paligid mo, anong ginawa mo? Diba pinalitan mo rin ako? Wala tayong pinagkaiba, Lal. Kaya pwede ba?" Giit nito sa akin."Hindi kita pinalitan, Ems. Wala akong karelasyon nung ako ang nasa pinas, mas naniniwala ka sa mga gunggong na nagsumbong sayo kaysa sa sarili mong asawa." Sagot ko

I just packed my stuff.After putting all of my stuff on the suitcase, I quickly changed my outfit into some sweater and joggers along with my sneakers.As I was about to head out, I heard her call my name."Ano?" I asked as I looked over to my shoulder."Talagang iiwanan mo na ako?" She asked, sadness was laced in her tone."Yan ang gusto mo eh, diba?" I asked nang humarap ako rito. "Pinipilit mong may relasyon kami ng ex ko kahit wala naman. Edi ayan, total sinabi mo rin sa akin na gusto mong makipag hiwalay edi maghiwalay tayo. Ganun lang kasimple."

No Kaji in sight…Tumayo na ako and wore my high heeled boots, combing my hair but still trying to find where the bathroom is.Siguro sa kitchen nalang ako mag hihilamos, pwede naman siguro yun…I opened the bedroom door at tumambad sakin ang hinahanap ko, blood splattered on his neck and hands."Napano ka?"
