Yes, No, Maybe Chapter 40
"Ava," Timothee called my name."Hmm?" I hummed.Both of us are cuddling each other, naked in one bed. Alam ko na tinawag na ako ni Manang at kanina pa pero hindi pa rin ako lumabas. Timothee said that he will take care of it and so I trusted him.We did it again. We once again touched each other, only this time, he was not drunk nor was I. Nasa tamang katinuan kaming dalawa at hindi ako makapaniwalang nangyari ulit. I'm not regretting any of it. In fact, I feel like I'm the happiest girl alive! I have this big smile on my face."I'm sorry," he said.Kumunot 'yung noo ko at tumingala sa kanya. "Why are you sorry?""I touched you without your permission," sabi niya.Napailing nalang ako. "You don't have to be sorry. At anong without my permission? I totally gave you my permission.""You did?" I nodded. "If I didn't, bakit hindi pa kita tinulak?"Napangiti siya at niyakap ako nang mahigpit. "Thank God! I thought you'll be mad of me."I giggled. Being in one bed with Timothee is not bad

"Take a rest for today," Timothee said."Huh?""You should take a day off. Alam kong napagod ka din kahapon."Those were the last words I heard from Timothee before leaving the mansion. May something talaga sa kanya. The way he treats me, it's different. Naguguluhan ako kung may nagawa ba ako na hindi niya nagustuhan. But everytime he talks to me, he still wears the same smile. Yung genuine pero bakit ang hirap niyang lapitan. He's so near yet so far.I sighed as I rested my head on my table. He should've told me what I did para naman malaman ko. Nasa sariling office ako ngayon. The boutique that I own is still operating kahit wala ako dito. The manager manages everything while I was gone. So far mabenta pa rin naman kahit wala ako. We have strategies din kasi para hindi kami mauungusan ng rivals namin. "Miss Lee? May naghahanap po sa inyo." Rinig kong sabi ng manager.Inangat ko ang aking ulo at kunot-noong tiningnan siya. "May naghahanap sa akin? Sino daw?" I asked.Hindi naman

Madaling araw akong nakabalik sa mansyon. Okay lang naman sana na mamayang hapon pa ako babalik pero nasanay na din kasi na tulungan si Manang Abby sa pagluto. Isa pa, wala naman akong gagawin sa bahay. Baka mabaliw lang ako kakausap kay Pixie. Kulang na lang tatahol na din ako."Ako na po d'yan Manang," sabi ko kay Manang na naghihiwa ng karne."Salamat, hija. May kukunin pa kasi ako sa likuran," sabi niya."Walang anuman po," ngiti ko."Babalik ako agad."Tumango lang ako sa kaya at hiniwa 'yung karne. Araw-araw ko na itong ginagawa kaya hindi na ito bago sa akin.Hindi mawala sa isip ko 'yung nangyari kahapon. Naguguluhan pa rin ako sa aking nararamdaman. My heart flattered by his plans for us. Gusto niyang maikasal kami kaya ganun nalang 'yung saya na nararamdaman ko sa puso ko. But at the same time, I feel so guilty. I kept on deceiving him and I don't think that I deserve all the love. Hindi ko alam kung saan sisimulan. Paano ko sasabihin sa kanya na ako pala 'yung fiancée niya

I stared at my own reflection in front of the mirror. That curve on my lips, my glowing eyes and that happy vibe. Ni minsan hindi ko maisip na makikita ko ang sarili na ganito kung makangiti. It's been awhile and I forgot how good it felt. Para akong lumilipad sa mga ulap. Hindi mawala-wala 'yung ngiti sa aking mga labi.My cheeks started burning as I remembered how Timothee pulled me closer and kissed me under the rain. I finally told him how I feel. Hindi ko akalain na ganito pala kasarap sa feeling. Kung alam ko lang edi noon pa ako nag-confess.Kinuha ko 'yung bathrobe sa gilid at tinakpan ang hubad kong katawan. We were both wet from the rain and decided to stay in a hotel that is not yet opened. Buti nalang may connections si Timothee. Tinawagan niya lang 'yung kaibigan niya and now we got a room for ourselves. Kaya lang isang queen-sized bed lang 'yung available. For some reason, 'yun lang talaga ang bakante. Well it's fine naman. I can always sleep on the couch. Malaki naman d

I texted Timothee back saying that I'm in the nearest fast food chain. Wala namang ibang fast food chain na malapit kaya hindi na siya mahihirapang hanapin ito. Besides, I literally stood out from the crowd. Sino ba naman ang pupunta sa isang public place na naka-pajama. Paniguradong pagtitinginan talaga."Your boyfriend?" Tanong nung lalaki sa akin."Pardon?"He pointed at my phone. "On your phone. Boyfriend mo ba 'yan?"I paused. He's not my boyfriend. No. Not yet."Nope," I replied.Ngumiti siya nang malapad. "Oh. So you're single. Hi. I'm Daniel, and you are?"This guy is obviously flirting with me. One thing about me is that I don't let guys flirt me. Kung tatanungin nila pangalan ko I would ignore them. If they'd ask for my number well my answer would always be 'no' kaya wala silang magagawa. I am this hard to get."He's not my boyfriend," I paused. "He's my fiancè."The smile on his face vanished. Napangiti nalang ako. Sakto naman ay tinawag na 'yung order number ko. Tumayo ako

"Timothee Chandler! Open the door this instance!"I heard someone knocking on the door but I didn't let it bother me. I am sleeping soundly with Timothee's arms around me. Rinig ko ang sigaw pero wala lang sa akin ito. "Timothee!"Timothee flinched. Kumalas siya sa yakap at nag-inat. I groaned and took his arm back to hug me. I heard him chuckled."Baby, let me open the door," he said huskily.I mentally frowned and lets go his hand with my eyes closing. Again, may nangatok at kailangan niya itong buksan. It must be very urgent though. Base sa boses ay parang importante talaga. The voice is somehow familiar. It's a man's voice."Who is it?" Sigaw ni Timothee pabalik at tumayo na mula sa pagkahiga."Fvck your 'who is it' you know who I am!" Sigaw pabalik nung lalaki."Kento?" Tim whispered.Oh. Kaya pala pamilyar yung boses. Si Kento pala.Wait.Is he here because we weren't able to go home last night? Dapat talaga niyang magpaliwanag. Sinabi siguro ni Manong driver na dito niya kami

"Vincent!" My Dad exclaimed. "What are you doing here?""O-Oh. Is it a bad timing?" I heard Tito Vincent asked.I couldn't look at Tito Vincent nor my Dad. Kay Timothee lang ako nakatingin and he's doing the same. Naguguluhan niya akong tiningnan. Pabalik-balik 'yung tingin niya sa akin at kay Daddy."What is going on?" He faced his father. "What is this?""Timothee, calm down--" hindi natapos ni Tito Vincent 'yung sasabihin niya kasi nagsalita na si Timothee."I am calm," kunot noo niyang sabi. "But I won't be any longer."I bit my lower lip. Nanginginig na ang aking mga tuhod at hindi mapakali. I can see everything falling apart, right in front of me. I did this. "Ava?" Timothee turned to me, his voice broke. "Tell me this is not what I think it is."My lips trembled. Unti-unti nang namumuo ang mga luha sa aking mga mata. I knew that this day would come. "I-I'm sorry," yumuko ako.I heard him took a step back kaya nag-angat ako ng tingin. Umiling siya, ayaw tanggapin ang nangyari.

"Ava, gising!"I heard a loud knock on my door. Rinig na rinig ko 'yung boses ni Peter. It's always like this every morning. Simula nung dinala ako ni Mommy dito, Peter had been my human alarm clock. He is always this annoying."Peter naman 'e," naiinis kong bulong sa sarili. Tinakpan ko 'yung tenga ko gamit ang unan para bumalik sa pagtulog."Ava gising na! Nandito na Daddy mo!" Sigaw niya.Napabalikwas ako. Ha? Nandito na si Daddy? I looked at the calendar on the side. My eyes landed on the date on the calender which was encircled. Ngayon pala ako kukunin ni Daddy! Bakit ko nakalimutan?"I'll be out in five!" Sigaw ko.Dali-dali akong bumangon at agad nanghilamos. After I got rid of my eye boogers, I immediately went downstairs and saw my Dad talking with Tito Diego. "Dad!" I exclaimed."Ava," ngiti niya at niyakap ako."Ang aga mo naman," nguso ko. "Do you really want me to go home soon?""No. I'm here to visit for awhile. Uuwi tayo mamayang gabi after we enjoy the sand," he said

Yes, No, Maybe Epilogue
"Happy Birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday our Ava~ Happy Birthday to you!"Everyone clapped their hands after I blew the candle. It's my 25th birthday at kasama mo ang buong pamilya. Sina Daddy, Mommy, Tito Diego, Peter, and Sofia. Kasama ko din si Timothee, his Dad Tito Vincent and her mother, Manang Abby. Nasa isang beach resort kami at sinadya kong dito kami kasi naaalala ko na nangako ako sa sarili na dalhin si Manang Abby dito as this is one of her dreams.After Timothee told the world about our relationship, the media keeps on tailing me. I became one of the most recent searches in the country. Inuungkat nila yung buhay ko later found out that I am a businessman's daughter. Nalaman din nila yung clothing line ko. Akala ko ib-boycott nila business ko pero sa katunayan mas marami pa akong naging customers.It was hard for the people to accept the fact that Timothee is courting me. Pati 'yung company na naghandle kay Timothee ay hindi inaa

Timothee and I stayed inside their hotel room. Hindi pa kasi bumalik si Kento and Timothee insisted for me to stay. I couldn't say no matapos niyang sabihin na magc-cuddle kami. It's something that I need right now. Nakayakap ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay nilalaro ang buhok ko habang nakahiga. "Ava," he called."Yes?""I've been meaning to tell you something," sabi niya.Kumunot 'yung noo ko at nilingon siya. "Ano 'yun?""Ano kasi. I don't want to keep secrets from you and I am getting more guilty as time goes by," he said.Nagsimula na akong kabahan. Is it something that would upset me? Kaya ko bang magalit kay Timothee? He's the only person I have left and when I feel betrayed by him, kanina nalang ako tatakbo? Sino ang natira para sa akin?"Say it."He sighed. "I'm sorry but I've been in contact with your parents."Napakurap ako. "Since when?""Since yesterday," kamot niya sa ulo. "They know where we are. Alam nila na sa akin ka lalapit. Your Dad knows kasi na nililigawan kita

Lumapit ako sa kanya at ganun pa rin 'yung tingin niya sa akin. I decided to get a lipstick that would look natural on his lips. I took a brush para sana lagyan siya ng lipstick sa labi pero umiwas siya.I sighed. "Timothee...""Anong pinag-uusapan niyo ni Kento? Did your little crush on him came back now that you see him after a long time?" Tanong niya.Hindi nga ako nagkakamali. Nagseselos nga siya. I saw it coming."Hindi," iling ko. "I was apologizing for fooling him as well.""Bakit siya nakangiti sa'yo?""Turns out alam na niyang nagpapanggap lang ako noon pa," iling ko. "Now I understand why he's always been so understanding to me before.""Psh. Mas understanding pa ako," he whispered but I heard him anyway.I smiled. "So, can I put on your lipstick now?"Umiling siya. "Doon ka sa Kento mo.""Timothee naman. Let's not fight, okay? Maraming naghihintay sa'yo," I said.Hindi siya sumagot. His face is facing on the other side as if ignoring everything that I just said. Alam ko nam

"Ava," I heard someone calling my name softly.Hindi ko pinansin ang boses na 'yun. I am sleeping comfortably in a soft bed. Dala siguro sa pagod kaya ako nakatulog agad. I remember after dinner, I felt so sleepy that I instantly fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes.After kong pinakilala kay Rosie and sarili ko, in a harsh way, Tito Vincent told us to eat instead of roasting each other. Of course nag-sorry naman ako agad. Ang bastos kaya nun sa harap ni Tito Vincent. Hindi na siguro kami magkakabati ni Rosie. Hindi naman din akong umasa na magustuhan niya ako. Well, kung ano 'yung ipapakita niya sa akin edi yun din ang ipapakita ko sa kanya."Ava," I heard it again.I groaned and turn to the side, away from the voice. Ayoko munang bumangon. Nagulat nalang ako nang may malambot na bagay na dumampi sa labi ko. Iminulat ko ang aking mga mata at doon ko nakita si Timothee na nakangisi."Halik lang pala ang makakagising sa iyo," he said.Nanlaki ang aking mga mata at napaatras habang

"Paano ko malalaman kung nagsasabi ka nga ng totoo? Nakita ko kung paano umiyak si Timothee. Hindi ko akalaing makikita ko siya nang ganun," Manang said as tears started forming in her eyes. "Kung pwede ko lang akuin ang sakit na nararamdaman niya ay ginawa ko na.""I'm sorry," yuko ko.Hindi ko na alam kung ano 'yung sasabihin. Saying sorry was what I think is the best thing to say. "Bakit ka sa akin nagso-sorry?"Huminga ako nang malalim. "Kasi alam kong nasaktan ka din na makitang ganun si Timothee." I paused. "Timothee and I settled our differences. Okay na po kami ngayon. We promised to be honest from now on at hindi ko na po siya sasaktan."She sighed. "Nakita ko kung gaano kalaki ang mga ngiti niya kamakailan. Siguro dahil din sa'yo," she said, looking at me. "Kapag narinig kong sinaksaktan mo ulit siya, huwag kang magpapakita sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magagawa ko sa'yo."Bahagya akong yumuko. "Hinding-hindi na po 'yun mangyayari."She stared at me one last time befo

"Okay lang talaga?" I asked Timothee as I parked my car in front of their mansion.Sinabi ko sa kanya na hindi ko alam kung paano haharapin sina Mommy. After everything I knew, hindi ko na alam kung paano sila tratuhin. I'm scared of avoiding them kasi ayaw ko din silang saktan. Timothee told me that I can stay in their house. I was hesitant syempre. How can I come back in that house matapos ko siyang lokohin sa ilang buwan kong pananatili doon. It would remind me of everything I've done."Ava, I thought that we left the past behind us?" He faced me."I'm sorry. I still feel ashamed of what I did.""Stop it," seryosong sabi niya. "Let's not talk about it, okay? Tapos na 'yun Ava. I forgave you already."I nodded. "Okay."Pumasok na kami ni Timothee sa loob ng mansyon at halos walang pinagbago. Nandun pa rin 'yung mga bulaklak na minsan kong dinidiligan araw-araw. The front lawn is still as wide as ever. I bit my lower lip as we get closer to the entrance. Nakakakaba. Alam ko naman na

I stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do. Timothee was stunned as I am."Sige 'yan!" Sigaw nung photographer. "Kiss her Timothee!"I bit my lower lip as tears continued crawling down my cheeks. Nanghihina na ang mga tuhod ko. Timothee immediately pulled himself off."What are you doing?!" He asked his partner."What? 'Yun ang gusto nila. Isn't it our job to do what the client wants," sagot nung babae."Timothee ano ba?!" Sigaw nung photographer. "We almost got the shot. What is wrong with you?!" He paused and faced the woman behind me which I assumed as the client. "I'm really sorry about that. I will make sure that we give you the shot that you want.""You better. Ano bang nangyari kay Chandler?" Tanong nung babae. "It's your job to model."Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Timothee and as if on cue, our eyes met. Nanlaki ang kanyang mata and all I could do was to smile forcefully with tears in my eyes."Ava," he mouthed.Umiling ako at tumalikod. I walked away kasi alam kong Timothe

"I have a shoot today."'Yan ang huli kong narinig mula kay Timothee. Pagkagising ko pa lang ay siya na agad ang hinahanap ko. The reason? Hindi ko din alam. I called him the moment I woke up. Ilang rings pa bago niya sinagot 'yung phone. Base sa boses niya ay parang nagmamadali. He said may shoot siya ngayon. I sometimes forget that he's a model.Napag-isipan ko na surpresahin siya. Alam ko naman kung saan sa kadalasang nagsho-shoot kaya hindi na ako mababaliw kakahanap sa kanya. Agad akong bumangon at dumiretso sa banyo. I took a bath and then brush my teeth. Matapos kong magbihis ay dumiretso ako sa baba kung saan naabutan ko sina Mommy at Daddy na nag-uusap sa kusina. Kumunot 'yung noo ko. Bakit silang dalawa lang? Natutulog pa kaya sina Tito Diego.Out of curiosity, sumilip ako at pinakinggan ang kanilang pinag-usapan. It was suspiscious enough that they are talking privately."I'm sorry about what happened last night, Adam. Nadulas ako. Excited lang ako na makita si Timothee.
Yes, No, Maybe Chapter 58
I bit my lip as I dialed Timothee's number. Alam kong magugulat siya o maguguluhan kapag sinabi kong dito nalang siya maghapunan. Hindi naman nagtagal ay sinagot na ni Timothee yung tawag."What took you so long to call me?" Bungad niya.Kahit hindi ko siya nakikita ngayon alam kong nakanguso siya."Unexpected things happen," I smiled kahit hindi naman niya kita."Nakausap mo na Daddy mo?" Tanong niya. "Is everything okay?"Umiling ako. "Hindi. Hindi ko nakausap si Daddy." I paused. "Ano, Timothee. Kumain ka na ba?""Hindi pa ako kumain. Bababa na sana para kumain," he chuckled. "Concern ka sa akin no?""Sira!" I giggled. "I'm inviting you kase. Dito ka na kumain."There was a long pause. Paniguradong naguguluhan siya sa biglaan kong pagkasabi. If he'd ask me the same, panigurdong maguguluhan din ako."What's the occassion?" Tanong niya.I sighed. "Gusto kang makilala nina Mommy. Dad told them that I had a date with you kaya ganun nalang sila ka-curious sa'yo."I'm gonna meet your fam
