Accidental Bride

Her Three Auntie"HEY, girls, ingat kayo sa paguwi ninyo." Bilin ko sa dalawang trabahante ko na inihatid ko sa sakayan ng pampasaherong Jeep."Paalam rin ho, Ma'am Amber, ingat din ho kayo sa paguwi ninyo." Karyl Balansag's smile at me."Bye, Ma'am Amber, ingat sa pagmamaneho pauwi." Kumaway ring nakangiti si Kayecee Dela Cruz."Okay, thanks, see you tomorrow. Bye." Kumindat ako sa dalawa saka kumaway.Before I start my honda BR-V premium Amber metallic, binuksan ko muna ang stereo ng kotse ko.I was surprised when I entered our village. Nasa labas pa ako nang bakuran ng aming bahay ng may namataan akong nakaparada na mamahaling kotse roon. I was smiling while continuing to drive inside the gate.Pagkababa ko ng kotse ay lumabas ding muli ako sa maliit na gate. There I saw, Mark, ang matiyagang manliligaw ko simula pa ng halos isang taon."Hi, Mark." Nakangiti ko itong binati."Hi, Amber. Good evening. For you." Lumapit ito, kasabay ng pagabot ng isang punpon na pulang rosas sa akin.

Father, Daughter Conversation "SO, I am expecting you to come here next month, my dear daughter." Ani ng taong kausap ko sa harap ng webcam thru skype online chat."Sure, d-dad." Sagot ko rito. Minsan ko lang itong hinahayaang kausapin ako. I always refused his calls, ang laging dahilan ko ay busy ako sa negosyo ko. And also, it is so awkward to speak with him. Dahil siguro hindi ako nasanay."Oh, Anak. How I'm excited to see you. I'm sure, your Auntie Cell will also be excited to see you soon." Ang sabi nito na ikinangiti ko ng bahagya.Dad married an American citizen woman. Cell Lacson is a pure Filipina, isa itong nurse sa New York at doon sila nagkita ng Dad ko at nagpakasal, without knowing na may mag-ina itong tinakbuhan noon dito sa Pilipinas.Noong bata pa ako, galit ang pinairal ko dahil sa ginawa nito sa amin ng Mommy ko. But the past is past, I slowly accept his sorry. Hindi naman pala kasi nito alam na nabuntis nito ang ina ko noon. I don't know if he's telling me the tru

Seat #69[Ashton's POV.]TONY and I were having relaxation in the Bar Manila after our tiring hours of duty in our company."I'm getting married, soon," I said as I shook the contents of my wine into my glass.Biglang naluwa ng kaharap ko ang iniinom nitong alak, saka tumingin at pahid ng labi nito."What, Ash?""Tony, are you with me? Kanina ka pa-what ng what." I said, then sip my wine."Nakakabigla ka kasi, Parekoy." Nginisihan ko ito. "Sa ngising 'yan, parang totoo nga.""Yes. It's true. I am getting married. Soon." Paguulit ko rito.He frowned. "Kanino? Kay Shan-Shan? O doon sa isip bata mong kababata na si Caren?""None of them, of course." He just mentioned my co-pilot, Ara Shayne, and my childhood Caren Aldover who is one of the Ducati flight attendants. "Alam mo na kanino.""Ah, doon sa modelo mong ayaw pa magpatali sa 'yo? Kung hindi mo pa sasadyain sa labas ay hindi mo pa makakasama at maka-date. Kay Yvette?""Why so rude to my girlfriend?" Natanong ko na naman muli rito, e

Manhattan BridgeAFTER my one-night stay at my father's house, kinaumagahan din ay nagpaalam agad ako sa kanila.My father and stepmom insist to drive me to Crowne Plaza Hotel. Nagaalangan ako sa una dahil ayoko silang gambalain lalo at pareho pa silang may mga pasok ng umagang iyon. Ngunit hindi pa rin sila parehong pumayag na hindi ako ihatid sa aking tutuloyan."So, this is your place, hija?" tanong ni Daddy habang nakatingala sa may kalakihang gusali ng hotel at resort."Yes, dad." Nakangiti ko ritong sagot."Nice place, hija. Um, this is one of the safe hotels na malapit rito sa Brooklyn. Nice place, may kakilala ako d'yan, I will call her para bigyan ka ng discount.""No, huwag na ho. May kakilala naman ako na narito. Classmate ko ho noong college kaya sa kanyang pad ako tutuloy ngayon, tita–""Ah, ah... Tita na naman, hija?" nakanguso nitong wika sa akin.I smiled. "Okay, m-mom...""That's what I want to hear, babe. But you told us yesterday, you already booked to stay in this

Proposal "I AM very sorry, Ma'am, Sir." The security guard says when he finally uncuffs my hands.I scowled and looked mad at the two men. "Next time, before you charge your customer for a crime you should know first if she or he is telling the truth or not!" I said in my annoying voice."We are really sorry about what happened, ma'am." Paghingi pa rin ng paumanhin ng mga ito sa akin."What do you want, sweetheart? Let's file them a complaint-"I suddenly cleared my throat and stopped him from talking. "N-no, let it pass, and let's just leave this place now, please?" Sabi ko na halos hindi makatingin sa seryosong mga mata nito.He frowned. "Are you sure?"I nod and smile a bit. "Yes, I am sure about it."He lifts his brows. "Okay, if that's what you want." Humarap ito sa tatlong security. "You are lucky that my fiancee forgives what you did. If it's me, I will charge all of you, or else, I will talk to your manager and-""Oh no, don't do that, Sir. We are just doing our job here. Plea
