All Chapters of One Week Stand: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

"Walang paglagyan iyong saya ko sa nalaman ko," Mommy Emily said. Kanina pa siya ngingiti tapos maiiyak. "You are both so lucky," she added. Hinawakan niya iyong kamay kong may suot na engagement ring. "I never thought I'll witness this beautiful memory," dagdag niya pa. It has truly been a roller coaster ride for all of us. From thinking she's already dead, to actually knowing she's still alive, to discovering that she's Zandrey's stepmother, and a lot more things. Sobrang daming nangyari na minsan napapaisip na lang akong what a plot twist it really is. Masaya ako that she get to witness this. Wala ring paglagyan iyong saya ko na suportado kami ng mga mahal namin sa buhay. And most of all, my kids will finally have the complete family I never thought I'll have. Simula kasi 'nong umalis si Zandrey ay wala na talaga ito sa plano ko. I was contented being the only parent. Kaya ko namang buhayin ang mga anak ko. Kaya ko naman silang suportahan. Ilang taon kong kinumbinsi ang sarili

The kids were already asleep when I decided to go out of our room. Nasa iisang room lang kami ni Zandrey kasama ang mga bata. Tulog na sila, while I can't even sleep a wink. Maraming tumatakbo sa isip ko kaya kailangan ko nang may gawin para hindi sila masyadong gumulo sa utak ko.Wala na masyadong tao sa dalampasigan nang lumabas ako. It's already past midnight kaya siguro ay tulog na ang mga guests.I was wearing my long nightdress na pinatungan ko ng shawl para hindi ako masyadong lamigin. Kasi mainipis lang iyon kaya may nakakalusot pa rin na lamig. Pero hindi ko na iyon masyadong inisip. I just want a time for myself, a time to think, and a time to reflect.I sat on the shore just a few meters away from the water. Siniguro kong hindi ako maabot 'non para hindi ako mabasa. And I just stared at the darkness ahead of me.I feel like something is really wrong. Hindi ko alam kung ano mismo iyong mali pero ramdam kong may hindi tama. It concerns me and Zandrey. Alam ko namang busy siya

"Good morning," Zandrey greeted as he kissed my bare shoulders. "Good morning," I greeted back. It's been quite a smile sincec I had a smile on my face upon waking up. Mabilis siyang tumayo mula sa pagkakahiga samantalang nanatili muna akong nakahiga. He went to the bathroom. Nakatingin lang ako sa ceiling as I will myself to finally wake up. We have a long day ahead kaya kailangan ko nang bumangon. Anytime now, the kids might wake up. Bago pa man ako makatayo ay may narinig na akong kumakatok sa pinto. I quickly stood up to wear the clothes I wore last night. Muntik pa akong ma-out balance dahil sa pagmamadali. I heard Zandrey laughed. Nang lingunin ko siya ay kasalukuyan siyang nakasandal sa pinto ng bathroom at nagto-toothbrush. I rolled my eyes at him. "Kasalanan mo," I grumbled. He just chuckled once again. Nang makapagbihis na ay saka lang ako lumapit sa pinto. I even checked the bed kung may nagkalat bang kung ano. Good thing wala naman kaya malaya ko nang nabuksan ang p

Buong biyahe ay hindi ako nagsalita. Tahimik lang akong umiiyak sa likod ng sasakyan. Maging sina Dominic at Daisy ay hindi rin ako kinulit sa kung ano talagang nangyari. They just let me pour all my feelings out and I'm so grateful for them. Kung hindi sila dumating, siguro ay nandoon pa rin ako. Siguro ay kaharap ko pa siya ngayon. Siguro ay mas lalo akong nagmukhang tanga.It was so hard for me to digest everything that I have seen. Then I thought, the past days, I kind of feel like there was really something wrong. Ramdam ko nang parang may kakaiba, but I tried to shrug it off my mind. Pinilit ko ang sarili kong huwag pansinin iyong mga napapansin ko. But God, how could I be so blind?Hindi pa rin ako matigil sa pag-iyak. He showed he really loves me. The kids love him. Pero paano ko ipagpapatuloy kung ano man itong nasimulan namin kung may bahid na ng pagtataksil? I'm not the type of person who would just tolerate something like that. Pero paano ang mga anak ko? Paano ako? Paano

Zandrey's POV "Hey, a slot for the medical mission has opened up," Troy said upon seeing me in the hallway. "Sinong umatras?" Tanong ko. The slots have been fully occupied since it was posted. Mostly ay mga interns iyong nagpalista. I'm just not sure why another slot opened. Baka siguro may nagback out. "Celeste can't go. May importante daw na pupuntahan," sagot naman ni Troy. "I have to ask my wife first," I replied. I know we're not yet married and she's not yet my wife, but I've been telling people here in the hospital that she's my wife. Ikakasal na din naman kami kaya okay na 'yon.. In fact, we're already living together and have kids. She's not yet my wife legally, but in my heart, we're already married. Napailing na lang si Troy sa naging sagot ko. There was a teasing grin on his face. "Hindi na talaga ako magtataka kung madagdagan na naman mga anak mo." I laughed at what he said. "Kayo rin ni Hope. It's about time," I mumbled, referring to her girlfriend, who's also a d
