2021-09-19 13:04:23I sighed and held her back while accompanying her to walk.
Kung gusto niya lang namang lumabas ay pwede namang sumakay na lang kami sa kotse at mag-ikot hanggang magsawa siya.
We'll tour the world once she gets better together with our son! Just not this time...
“River—!” Nagulat ako nang bigla siyang tumigil at napahawak sa akin. She was holding her belly like it was aching.
“What? What's wrong?” Nanginig kaagad ang aking kamay at hinawakan siya nang mahigpit. Sinenyasan ko si David na lumapit sa amin upang tulungan ako sa pagbuhat kay Sandra. Karamihan sa kanila ay kanina pang naka stand by at maging ang sasakyan ay ipinahanda ko na.
“Oh my gosh, River!” Bahagya pa siyang nawalan ng

“Anong nangyari? Kumusta?” Mabilis akong tumayo nang makitang papalapit sa akin ang aming mga magulang.“Mom,” I called her.“Nasaan ang apo ko? Bakit biglaan? Anong oras pa kayong narito at bakit ngayon ka lang tumawag?” tanong ni Papa.“Her water broke while we're on a walk earlier. Nasa nursery po ang anak ko.” I smiled weakly at them.“Si Ate? Kumusta si Ate?” tanong ni Aubree sa akin.Bumuntonghininga ako at pagod na napatingin sa kanilang lahat. Nag-aalala na nga rin ako, eh. But I know that I should wait and have faith.“Hindi pa rin siya nagigising. The doctor said that it's because she's too tired. Th

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mga sumunod na nangyari. I just woke up the next morning, and saw Jordan was peacefully sleeping at his father's chest.Ngumiti ako at tiningnan ang orasan. It was already six in the morning, and we have to prepare and leave for our wedding this afternoon.Naroon na ang aming pamilya. Some of the guests decided to stay there too. Kami nga lang ay narito pa sa Manila dahil sa trabaho ni River.“River?” Bahagya ko siyang tinapik bago ko iniangat si Jordan para ilagay sa crib nito.“Hmm?” Nagising si River at nilingon ako. I smiled at him sweetly and sat beside him. Niyakap niya naman ako mula roon.“Come on, we have to get up and prepare already,” I told him and str

5 years later... Malapit nang gumabi nang dumating kami sa Manila. It’s a long and tiring flight. Kung hindi si Lionel ang kasama ko ay paniguradong aantukin ako. We were both bored back in Hong Kong! Sobrang homesick kami roon. I am missing my husband and my son, while he’s very crazy thinking about his wife. Ganoon yata talaga siguro kanag sobrang mahal ang isang tao. “Please take your seats for landing,” anunsyo ko at inayos ang suot kong salamin. Napatawa ako nang maisip na gustong-gusto ko na talagang mag-landing kaagad. Apat na araw na ako sa Hong Kong at gustong-gusto ko nang umuwi. Actually, pareho kami ni Lionel na gusto nang umuwi. Nilingon ko si Lionel nang iangat niya ang kaniyang kamay. Ngumisi ako at nakipag fist bump sa kaniya. Ngayon na lang ulit yata kami naging magkasama sa iisang fligh

Napangiti ako at sumunod kay River papasok sa loob ng bahay. Marahan niyang binuksan ang pinto at ang maliit na hallway ang bumungad sa amin. It has decors and a small chandelier on top. Sa gilid ay may shoe rack na maayos na nakapatas.“Narito na ang mga gamit natin?” tanong ko nang makita ang mga sapatos naming naroon at nakaayos na.“Uh-huh, kahapon pa,” he said.Sumunod ako sa kaniya sa paglalakad at napanganga sa lawak ng bahay. I didn't expect that it'll be so beautiful. Pero ang ganda noon ay hindi intimidating. The modern rustic design is comfy. My husband’s taste when it comes to interior design is perfect. maaliwalas iyon at napakasarap tingnan.Pagkatapos ng hallway ay ang living room ang tumambad sa amin. There was a huge tv near

Nagising ako isang araw nang maramdaman ang pagdampi ng halik sa aking noo.I slowly opened my eyes, and I smiled when I saw River looking at me happily.“Good morning,” I greeted him. Lumapit ako sa kaniya para mas lalo siyang yakapin.Ikinawit niya naman ang aking hita sa kaniyang baywang bago ako muling niyakap.“Happy Birthday,” he said. Huh? Really?Kumunot ang aking noo at iminulat ko ang aking mata. I looked at him and saw him smiling widely.“What?” I asked him with so much curiosity.Bahagya siyang tumawa bago ako pinaulanan ng halik.“Darl

My breathing was calm when I opened my eyes. It was silent and comfortable as it should be.I looked at Sandra who's peacefully sleeping while facing me.Ngumiti ako at mas lalong inilapit ang sarili para yakapin siya ng mas mahigpit.I hugged her tightly, halos ayaw ko nang bitawan. She doesn't have work today, so I won't go to the office either.I still want to spend the day with her. Hindi naman sa wala na siyang oras sa amin, pero gusto ko lang talagang makasama siya parati. I don’t want to waste any moment.Bahagya akong bumaba para maging kapantay niya at saka ko isinubsob ang aking mukha sa kaniyang leeg.It feels so warm and cozy. Mas lalo kong gustong ilapit ang sar

“Open your mouth,” I told Sandra.Nilingon nya ako gamit ang mapupungay na mata at saka siya ngumuso. I laughed at her cuteness before I convinced her to open that pretty little mouth of hers.She did what I said and enjoyed the cake I fed her.“Even the cakes taste really great. Shall we try everything?” she asked.I laughed and nodded. She seems to enjoy a lot here. Narito pa rin kami sa Dessert Museum at ineenjoy lahat ng kaya namin. Hindi ko na mabilang kung gaano na karami ang natikman namin pero hindi pa rin kami nabubusog. Maybe because we eat little portions of everything.“The staff are staring at us right when we entered. I bet that they're stunned to see a well-built man inside a

It was past 10 p.m, but my wife hasn't come back yet. I don't think I'm just overreacting. If nothing happened, why aren't they answering calls? “Pick up the phone,” I said even if the busy line is all that I hear. To my surprise, I saw Vincent calling me. I tried to reach him out a couple of times, but he’s not answering earlier. “River?” tawag niya sa akin sa kabilang linya. “Where's Sandra? Kasama nyo siya? Why isn't she picking up her phone?” I asked furiously. “Ha? I called you because she's not picking up her phone. Wala siya rito!” He sounded frustrated too. What the fuck? “Alejandro called my wife to check on an aircraft

When the Skies are Gray Epilogue
“I'll stay here for a bit. Iuwi niyo na lang muna si Jordan. Susunduin ko na lang siya bago ako umuwi sa bahay,” sambit ko at inihiga ang natutulog na si Jordan sa backseat ng van kung nasaan si Aubree. “Alright. We'll go home already. Umuwi ka rin agad at magpahinga…” Dad said. Tumango ako at hinawakan ang pinto para isara. I closed the door and watched them go. Tahimik na ang lugar. The tent was still built, but the chairs were gone already. Bumuntonghininga ako at saka nilingon ang sasakyan ng taong alam kong kanina pa nanonood. “You can come near if you want to. Hindi kita bubugbugin ngayon,” I said after sitting in the grass in front of the grave, knowing that someone can hear me.
When the Skies are Gray Chapter 75
I woke up the next day, feeling more tired than usual. Rinig ko ang pagiging abala ng lahat sa labas kaya't tumayo na ako mula sa pagkakahiga.Napabaling ang aking tingin sa kabilang bahagi ng kama. My tears fell once again at the sight of it.“Dad,” I heard Jordan knocking on the door.Pinunasan ko ang aking mga luha at nilingon ang pinto. Jordan managed to open the door and ran immediately to hug me.“W-What's wrong, Jordan?” I asked him.Umiyak siya at mas humigpit ang yakap sa akin.“H-Have you had breakfast?” tanong ko sa kaniya. Umiling siya at narinig ko ang kaniyang hikbi habang nakayakap sa akin.

“You’re marrying Charlotte, and that’s final.” Napatanga ako sa sinabi ni Mom sa kabilang linya ng telepono. What the fuck?“Mom, I thought we’re on the same side? You promised me that we’ll convince Dad that I will never marry Cha!”Damn it. It’s been days since I went to Batanes with Cha. Pumayag akong pumunta rito, and even lied to my love that I have a business trip with Dad dahil nangako si Mom na tutulungan niya akong kausapin si Dad basta sumama muna ako pero…“I don’t like that girl, River! Kung ayaw mo siyang hiwalayan… ako ang maghihiwalay sa inyo.” Before I could even argue, ibinaba niya na ang telepono. This is frustrating!Pero hindi

She never really took me seriously at first. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero sa palagay ko ay dahil iyon sa lahat ng katarantaduhang nagawa ko noon.It felt like all of my sins were recorded, and she became my punishment.“I don’t believe you, River. I’m sorry, but you’re unbelievable.” I couldn’t remember how many times Sandra replied this statement to me every time I told her that I like her very much.Kalimitan ay dinadaan ko na lang talaga sa pagbibiro ng pamimilit o di kaya’y pagsuyo sa kaniya. But deep inside, it’s slowly hurting me. It’s like she never trusted me.Imagine? She even tried to turn me into a gay just so her family wouldn’t know about it!

I ran to the hallway quickly and quietly. I don't want to attend the philosophy class. It's boring.“Hey, River,” Alice greeted me nang malampasan ko siya sa hallway.I winked at her and she held my arms. But damn, this isn’t the time for flirting.“I'll catch up with you later at the party. Right now, I just need to run away from class,” I said and kissed her cheeks.“Alright, see you later,” she said.I smirked and continued running. Surely, the lecturer will catch me in no time kaya mas dapat ko pang bilisan ang takbo. Madaya naman kasi at foundation day tapos may klase siya sa amin.

“I'm sorry, the patient died due to the wound in her chest and internal bleeding. Her ribs are broken, and it affected her lungs. Kung nabuhay siya… she won't be able to walk. Her legs are fractured badly.”That’s what the doctor told us.I stood up slowly and noticed Kuya Angelo wiping his tears.I bit my lip. I remembered our youth. She was blooming like a flower, and her brother was already building fences so no man could touch her.I had that flower. But somehow… I failed to protect her.“Gusto kong makita ang anak ko… pupuntahan ko si Sandra,” Mama Alondra told Kuya Angelo.“Makikita rin natin si Sandra. Konting tiis la

“River! What the hell happened? What did that bastard do to Sandra?” salubong sa akin ni Lionel nang makarating ako sa kanila.Bumaba ako ng sasakyan at ngumiti sa kaniya. He looks so worried and behind him is his wife. Nakita ko ang galit at panggigigil sa kaniya. It seems like Alejandro wronged them as well.Subalit nang makita niya kung gaano ako kalugmok ay unti-unti niyang ikinalma ang sarili. Dapat lang niyang ikalma dahil pinapahanap ko na si Alejandro. Ang gusto ko munang tutukan sa ngayon ay ang aking asawa.When Lionel sensed my mood, wari ko ay naintindihan niya na agad ang nangyayari. M-Maybe he already has an idea.“I-Is the news… t-true?” tanong niya sa akin. Ramdam ko ang pag-aalinlangan sa boses niya.

Without any hesitation, nag u-turn ako kaagad at mas binilisan ang takbo ng aking sasakyan dahil sa sinabi sa akin ni Vincent. I’m not sure what it is pero kung mula sila sa tower control at hinahanap nila ako ay paniguradong may kinalaman ito kay Sandra!“C-Come quick.” Iyon ang huling sinabi ni Vincent bago ko narinig ang hikbi niya at pagpatay niya sa tawag.I was too excited to go back. Thinking that Sandra is already there excites me. Goodness. Sana ay naroon na siya dahil kung wala pa ring balita ay hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko! Masisiraan na yata ako ng ulo.Gustong-gusto ko nang bilisan ang takbo ng aking sasakyan at makarating doon kaagad.The sun is already shining. I haven't slept or eaten yet. Gusto ko lamang makita ang aking asawa. Mabut

The storm is still preventing us from searching the sky clearly. Wala kaming ideya kung anong aircraft ang ginamit ni Alejandro... o kung talaga bang ginamit niya iyon.“Why are you still awake? Hmm?” I asked Jordan when I visited him.“I can’t sleep properly. Have you eaten?” he asked.I smiled weakly and shook my head.“You should eat. If Mommy comes back, she'll be angry if she'll know that you didn't eat,” he said and held my hand.Nag-angat ako ng tingin nang makita sa likuran niya si Dad.“How is everything going?” Dad asked.“The authorities are helping us too.
