Raising The Billionaire's Child/Yohanna Leigh
"Leah, stop!" Hannah almost begged Leah, paano kasi mula pa kaninang magkita sila ay 'di na siya nito tinantanan ng panunukso.Their little family moment at the fast food were all over the papers the next morning. Of course everybody jumped to the conclusion that Nate had a secret family all along. That's why his marriage to Olive didn't push through, ending with the latter marrying somebody else… "Come on, look at this... '' Leah tirelessly shoved the newspaper to her face. "This gesture is just so romantic. Who wouldn't think that you're not a couple?" Tukoy nito sa litratong hawak-hawak ni Nate ang kamay niya while trying to protect her and Eli from the media. "It's nothing, okay? A spur of the moment thing." "Hannah, he should've just left you right there if he didn't care about you!" "Why is it even such a big deal?" "Hello, Nate has celebrity status. You do not know but many rejoiced when his wedding was put on hold.

"N-no..." Hannah denied, although she knew Nate heard her sobs. "Just put me down now, please?" No. She wouldn't cry in front of Nate Sarmiento. He'd already seen her so weak in the elevator that breaking down would confirm his doubt that she wasn't capable of taking care of Elisha. Hannah wouldn't want to give Nate a reason to kick her out of her daughter's life very soon. "What happened back there?" she heard him ask matapos siyang maibaba sa couch. Worry was still evident on his face. "It's a good thing na tinawagan ako ni Paul. What if he didn't?" Napatitig lang siya sa gwapong mukha ng binata habang nagsasalita ito. Concern ba ito sa kanya? "You're just going to faint inside the elevator and that will scare the hotel guests if they see you..." dugtong nito. 'Okay... Hindi siya concern sa 'yo, Hannah... Nag-aalala siya na ma-eskandalo ang mga kliyente niya kapag may nakita silang nahimatay na babae sa elevator,' she told herself. Nate was

Sa restaurant sa loob ng hotel na sila kumain. Nate said na gutom na ito at hindi na nito gustong mag-drive pa. Awkward man ang pakiramdam ni Hannah na kasalo sa lunch si Nate ay no choice siya kundi paunlakan ito. Sabi nga ng binata, he didn't ask. He had told her to join him. "How's Elisha doing in school?" he asked. "Okay naman. She already have a best friend and he's a boy. Seth ang pangalan niya," nakangiting kwento niya, hindi nga nila halos mapaghiwalay ni Leah ang dalawang bata tuwing uwian na. "Boy?" Tikwas ang kilay na tanong ni Nate. "Is he courting my princess?" He pretended to be mad. "What?" Natatawang aniya ."You're kidding me..." "I think I need to meet him," pabirong sabi pa nito. "His mother is actually my friend, Nate... Her name is Leah. She's a good person. So, I believe that Seth is also a good kid. You know, Elisha wouldn't like him so much if he's not..." "I'm kidding, Hannah," he

"Mommy!" narinig niyang tawag ni Elisha. Paglingon niya ay nakita niya itong karga-karga sa likod ng isang lalaking sigurado siyang hindi tao ni Nate. "Eli!" napatayo siya. "Mommy, this is Tito Adam!" imporma ng anak niya bago pa niya nakuhang magtanong, tuwang-tuwa si Elisha. "Hi!" bati ng lalaki sa kanya. "You must be, Hannah," nakangiti nitong dagdag na inilahad ang kanang palad sa kanya habang sinusuportahan ng kaliwang kamay nito ang anak niya sa likuran nito. "Hello, yes, I'm Hannah. Please hold, Eli," natatarantang sabi niyang napakabilis na kinamayan ito sa takot na baka mahulog ang bata. "Don't worry, I got her well... Right, kiddo?" tumakbo-takbo pa ito sa tuwa naman ni Elisha. "Please, please, ibaba mo na siya!" pakiusap niyang alalang-alala. "Yeah. Yeah, alright." Umupo ito para makababa si Elisha na nagpoprotesta pa. "Eli, that's enough," mariin niyang saad. "Are you okay, anak? You're not h

Raising The Billionaire's Child/Yohanna Leigh
When Hannah was seventeen, namatay ang kanyang ina sa sakit na cancer. A year later, her father remarried and as requested by his new wife, kicked her out of his life. Nine years after leaving home, Hannah didn't have the slightest idea kung okay lang ba ang kanyang ama. Magsisinungaling siya kung sasabihin niyang wala na siyang pakialam. She still cares about her father pero pinipigilan siya ng takot na balikan ito. Fear of being rejected again by the man na dapat ay naging karamay niya noong nawalan siya ng ina. Pero hindi ibig sabihin no'n na hindi na niya mahal ang ama. If she would be given a chance, babalikan niya ito. 'Who are you kidding, Hannah? Nasa 'yo ang lahat ng pagkakataon para bisitahin ang iyong ama pero hindi mo ginawa,' sumbat ng utak niya. Okay. Siguro nga masama ang loob niya. Who wouldn't? Hindi siya nito pinili noon. He probably wouldn't now. Hinayaan nito noon na mabuhay siyang mag-isa sa halip na sinamahan sa

Hannah was feeling a little bit light headed. Pero hindi dahil may sakit siya, nahihilo o ano pa man. It was the confusing feeling na kanina pa niya nararamdaman. "Hannah," untag ni Leah. "Hmn?" "Are you listening to me? Kanina pa ako salita ng salita rito eh," reklamo ng kaibigan niya. 'I'm sorry, what are you saying?" sinikap niyang ibaling ang atensyon kay Leah. "Ay alam ko 'yan!" sabi nito matapos siyang suriin ng tingin nang mga five seconds. "You're in love!" halos mag-heart shape ang mga matang dagdag nito. "Huh?" "Hannah, you're in love," ulit nito na dumikit pa sa kanya. "So tell me ha, is Nate Sarmiento the lucky guy?" "What? No!" matigas na tanggi niya. "What are you talking about?" "Pinagdaanan ko 'yan kaya 'wag mo akong niloloko, Hannah," tukso pa rin nito. "Ang bilis ng improvement ah. Come on, tell me the details..." "Ano ka ba, hindi 'no!" Wala naman siyang a

Wednesday afternoon the following week, Hannah found herself in a restaurant with Nate Sarmiento's father, Benjamin Sarmiento. Alam ni Hannah na hindi siya dapat nagpunta lalo na at hindi alam ni Nate. But his old man insisted that hindi kailangang malaman ng binata. Mag-uusap lang naman daw sila. Last night, she received a direct call from Adam. Sabi nga nito, money works kaya hindi na siya nagtaka kung paano nito nakuha ang number niya. Kaya nga heto siya ngayon, kaharap ang mismong ama ni Nate. "I know you're wondering why," umpisa ng matanda, Hannah noticed na hindi pa naman pala ito gano'n katanda. Well considering that Nate is only thirty at siya ang panganay, malamang nasa fifties pa lang ang ama nito. Maybe it was his condition that made him look older. Naka-wheelchair na kasi ito. "I'm desperate, Ms. Rodriguez. I don't have much time. Noong nakita kita sa bahay ng anak ko, I'm certain na mapagkakatiwalaan kita.

"Mr. Sarmiento, we met at last!" Overly cheerful na bati ni Leah. Nakarating na sila sa Farm noon at napilit na rin ni Elisha ang ama nito na isuot ang pink shirt at cap na bigay ng kaibigan niya. To say that Nate carried the attire really well was an understatement. He looked like a model who had just stepped out of a magazine cover. Kahit ano ata ipasuot sa binata ay babagay rito. And Hannah felt a little bit conscious that she was wearing a shirt the same as the one Nate was wearing. Tapos may nakalagay pang Team Sarmiento na parang talagang isa silang pamilya nina Elisha at Nate. "Hannah always talks about you!" Patuloy ni Leah at kung wala roon si Caleb ay baka nakatikim na ito sa kanya. Tipid na ngiti at maiksing bati lang ang tugon ni Nate na halatang pinipilit ang sarili na hindi maging suplado. He obviously wasn't used to casual talks with a new acquaintance. "I really don't talk about you that much," sabi niya ka

Two more hours and Hannah's most dreaded confrontation was about to unfold. Natatakot siyang ma-reject. Natatakot siyang malaman na hindi na siya kailangan pa ng kanyang ama sa buhay nito. Hannah's last memory of David Rodriguez was when he asked her to leave his house dahil ayaw umano ng bago niyang stepmother ang presensya niya sa bahay nila. She was making his wife remember that she was just a second wife raw. Naalala niya na nagmakaawa siya noon dahil wala siyang pupuntahan. Pero nagmakaawa rin ang kanyang ama na umalis na siya. He needed his second wife, he said. 'Yon lang daw umano ang paraan para tuluyan itong makarecover sa pagkawala ng kanyang ina. That's when Hannah ran to Olive for help. At hindi siya binigo ng kaibigan niya. Nine years later, heto siya, sana nga buo na ang kanyang loob na makaharap ang kanyang ama at ang bago nitong pamilya. "Nervous?" tanong ni Nate. "A bit," amin niya. Tam

Bumisita sila Hannah sa puntod ng kanyang ama kinabukasan. Doon ay hinayaan muna siyang mapag-isa ng mga kasama niya. Somehow that was the closest she could get to her father. She could no longer see him, no longer hug him, no longer talk to him. And no matter how hard it was for Hannah, she had to face the truth. Na ulila na siya at mag-isa na lang talaga sa buhay. Kahit naman matagal na siyang independent, iba pa rin iyong alam niyang wala na talaga siyang magulang. 'Yong alam niya na hindi na niya makikita pa ang mga ito. Pero ang pinakamasakit sa lahat ay iyong mawala ang kanyang ama nang hindi siya nakakahingi ng tawad. Ni hindi niya nasabi na hindi naman talaga siya galit, na hindi nito kailangang hingiin ang kapatawaran niya at tulad ng kanyang ama ay hindi rin siya tumigil na mahalin ito. But she wasn't able say any of those, instead, heto siya, puntod na lang ang kaharap niya. "Hannah," narinig niyang marahang tawag ni Nate, agad niyang tinuyo
