All Chapters of In Arms Of The CEO: Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

Our stay here isn't that bad. We got the chance to do everything. Ang mga bagay na hindi namin nagawa dati dahil sa kadahilanang walang pera ay nagagawa na namin ngayon. But the real reason why we came here wasn't discussed. Ilang araw na kami rito pero ni isa sa kanila rito ay wala pang nag bukas ng usapan.  Ang usap-usapan ng mga kasambahay na narito, hindi raw ito ang pinaka main mansyon ng mga Buenaventura at iyon ang pinagtataka ko.   Bumuntong hininga ako at napailing sa naisip. What? Is it right to doubt them? But tama lang naman na pagdudahan sila 'di ba? Una sa lahat, bigla-bigla na lamang silang sumulpot sa bahay namin.. sa gano'n pa lang, nakakataka na talaga. Kasi paano nila ako nakilala? Paano nila nalaman kung saan ako nakatira? Pangawala, bigla silang papasok sa bahay, kakausapin ako tapos sasabihing kadugo nila ako? Pangatlo, pagbibintangan ng matanda si nanay na sinungaling? I have more and mor

Time runs fast. Days, weeks, months until it came years passed like a whirlwind. We'll never know, after they passed, everything will also changed. You wish for everything to be alright, and it did. You wish for the good things in life, and it came. You wish to have a great life, and it happened. In short, nothing's impossible.   Dream big. Aim high. What you prayed for will be answered.  Dati, pangarap ko lang maging mayaman para hindi na ako kailangang magtrabaho. I just wish to have wealth in me so that we don't to suffer anymore. Mahirap maging mahirap. You have to sacrifice things in order for you to live. Kailangan mong magtiis para mabuhay. Gutom. Pagod. Puyat. Sakit. Lahat 'yan, naranasan namin ng mga kapatid ko. We get to experience sleeping without eating any food that could satisfy our stomach. We'll always get tired from working and schooling but at the end of the night, we'll sleep the

This house has been my solace for almost many years and even if I'm not living here anymore, binabalik-balikan ko pa rin ito.  But now that he's here, I felt suffocated. The comfort this house gave eventually disappeared after the conversation earlier.  Bumalik ako sa lamesa ng parang walang nangyari. I should act. I should pretend. That's what I've been doing for years so it's not new for me anymore. I know I'm now in the right and trusted persons that's why I'm confident I can get through this. Nakayanan ko nga ang ilang taon, ito pa kayang baka isang gabi lang siya rito. I still can endure it.  "Tagal mo yata sa banyo, Gabriella? Anong kababalaghang ginawa mo roon?" Tita raised a single brow and smirk at me, halong pang-aasar ang tinig.  In this household, no one's calling me by my first name, marami na raw kasi ang tumatawag noon wika ni Tita ka

Bakit kaya may mga taong kahit ilang beses ng nasaktan, babalik at rurupok pa rin? Why does people always come and go? Hindi pa pwedeng mananatili na lamang? Hindi pa pwedeng walang alisan na magaganap?  'Cause me, I only wished happiness in life. I always longed to have a good life. I only want happiness. Pero we also need to sacrifice things in order for us to become happy. We won't truly find happiness in the middle of chaos.  Ayaw ko ng maging marupok ulit dahil alam ko kung saan ako dadalhin nito, naranasan ko kung anong dala nito. But the way he's kissing my neck and touching my body now and the way I react to his kisses and touch made me realize that no matter how much I convince myself na hindi ako marupok, bumigay pa rin ako dahil bukod sa mahina ako pagdating sa kanya.. mahal ko pa rin siya.  That even after all those years of not seeing each other, I still feel those butterflies

We're in some kind of seaside restaurant. Nag decide kami na dito na lang dahil bukod sa mahangin, maganda rin ang view. It's relaxing here. Umupo kami sa sand na may telang nakalagay. There's a table in the center. Binalot kami ng katahimikan nang ilang segundo hanggang sa nagsalita siya.  "I.. I don't know where to start. Siguro ganito na lang, ask me anything and I'll answer everything..."  I look straight in the sea and sighed. Oo nga naman at mahirap simulan at balikan ang nakaraan. But I deserve an explanation. Ako 'yong nasaktan. Ako man 'yong kumalas pero dahil 'yon para sa aming dalawa.  "Kilala mo na ba si Karen noong 'di pa tayo?"  Marami akong tanong sa isip ko na gusto kong ilabas pero sa dami nila ito 'yong unang tanong na lumabas sa bibig ko.   He shook his head. "Nope. I don
