-(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,
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--•-"What the fuck was that all about?" He asked me nang madatnan ko ito sa balcony.Nang makita niya kami ni Jescel, agad ko itong sinundan. 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
-(EMERALD CORLYN V. FRANCISCO POV)--♥︎-I woke up to the sound of my alarm, rubbing my eyes as I sat up. 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
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--♥︎-Kasalukuyan akong naghihintay sa lobby ng airport nang tawagan ako ni Mr. Trinculo, kanina ko pa siya hinihintay ngunit wala pa ito. 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. Nothing can be see
-(EMERALD CORLYN V. FRANCISCO POV)--დ-Damn it, he's here. He is actually here, here in my arms again.But why the fuck is he here??"Let me go, Lal." 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
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--❥-(Totoo ba ang lahat ng sinabi nila? Totoo ba na naging babaero ka pag-alis ko? Totoo ba na nag comeback kayo ng ex mo?)Ayun lamang ang umiikot sa isipan ko, seeing her like this felt like I was in front of another person.And the fact she kept doubting as we talked a while ago had my mind boggling. Ano ang sinabi ng mga gagong yun sa kanya? May karapatan naman siya magdoubt. 2 years akong wala sa tabi niya pero kung paniniwalaan niya ang mga sinabi nila sa kanya…Problema na niya yun and not mine…"Lal?" Napalingon ako nang magsalita ang munting anghel sa tabi ko.Pinailalim ko ang isa kong braso rito upang magsilbing unan para sa kanya. Her naked body pressed against mine as she snuggled."Okay ka na?" I asked to see if she's comfortable.She hummed in response and buried her face in my armpit, I don't know why she does that.My mind was still filled with questions but I chose to set them aside, seeing her comfortable in my arms again eased my s
