All I Ask AIA. 23 - 'Cause what if I never love again...
Nothing happenedKairos Gregor Rouvin Dela Monte – Consunji – Vejar's"Cachi..."Catherine Fe looked at me. Nakaupo kami sa waiting lounge kasama ang buong pamilya ko at naghihintay kami kay Danielle. Maga ang mga mata ni Caterine pero nagawa niya akong tingnan."Stop saying sorry. Lalo lang akong nasasaktan." Bulong niya sa akin. Hinawakan ko na lang ang kamay niya. I wanted to be with her because I know she needs me, kahit na ako pa ang may kasalanan nang sakit na nararamdaman niya, alam ko rin na pwedeng ako ang makaalis niyon. I noticed that she was looking at Mariake who was sitting with her Dad. Nakayakap lang si Iake sa braso ng Daddy niya. Nakukuyom ko ang mga palad ko.Ako dapat ang katabi niya. Ako dapat ang karamay niya pero alam kong kapag lumapit ako sa kanya lalo lang siyang masasaktan. I could hear her heart breaking from afar and I want to mend it but how can I? Naging ganito siya nang dahil sa akin.Lumabas iyong doctor. Napatayo kaming lahat."Doc, how's my girl?" I
All I Ask AIA. 24 - If this is my last night with you
I'm doneCatherine Fe'sUmuwi ako nang gabing iyon sa bahay ni Fatima nang hindi ko alam kung ano bang mararamdaman ko. Wala akong pinanghahawakan kay Kairos at kahit lumaban ako noon, kung lumaban ba ako noon, may mapapala ba ako? I realized that he was right, we really did grow apart."Mom!"I smiled when I saw my sons rushing to me. Nagpakarga si Rom. Sa kanilang dalawa ni Rem siya talaga ang pinaka-clingy. Ang saya-saya niya. Napansin kong may cookie dough pa siya sa gilid ng bibig. Sumunod si Rem sa kanya na dinidilaan iyong pinky finger niya."What are you guys doing?" Tanong ko."Oh, Auntir Fatima was baking cookies and she had an extra dough so we ate it. How's Danielle, Mommy? Can we see her again? Please! We made a lego tower for her!""Yes, Mommy! We made a tower and then a letter. I want her to get well because she is my sister."Hinalikan ko si Rom sa noo tapos ay ibinaba siya. I smiled at them. Nakakainis iyong sobrang kamukha sila ni Kumag. Nakakainis na kapag nakatingi
All I Ask AIA.25 - It matters how this ends...
SleeplessKairos Gregor Rouvin Dela Monte – Consunji – VejarI couldn't sleep that night. Cachi let the kids stay with me that night. Nasa bahay rin siya at kasama namin si Dione at Pan. They were talking while I was with the boys and we were watching a movie. Rom was leaning beside me. HInahaplos ko ang ulo niya katulad nang ginagawa ko noon kay Danielle habang nanonood kami ng TV. Rem was the more independent one. He was just sitting beside me while eating his popcorn."Do you think, Ada would like this movie?" Rom asked me. "Papa, you are sad. I know why. It's 'cause you miss Danielle. We missed her too. Too bad we didn't have the chance to give her the lego tower we made for her.""Yeah. I mean, we could've been great playmates. Plus, Mommy said that we can be the best brothers for the girls. Uncle Daddy told me that I am a Kuya and he said that a Kuya should always protect the sister whatever happens. He doesn't have a sister. He only has Tito Luigi but they are great buddies."G

Today is Alejandros and Elisha's engagement party. I just dropped her off tapos ay aalis rin kami ni Maria Juana. I looked at Maria Juana. She's the one driving the car. Anak siya ni Ninong Pidong na best friend naman ng Daddy ko. She yawned."Babalikan lang ba natin si Ada?""Yes, Mary Jane." I told her. "Maglibot muna siguro tayo. She's a big girl plus hindi naman siya pababayaan ni Ate Amal. Isa pa, Cachi is there."Mary Jane made a face. "I still cannot believe you, Mary. Alam kong mabait kang tao – actually for me you aretoo mabait. Why did you become friends with you ex's old flame who turns out to be the legal wife thus, making you the kabit? Alam ba ni Uncle Seb ito? Alam mo bang hindi lang iisang beses kong narinig si Pops na pinipigilan si Uncle Seb na ipa-good shot iyang Kairo

READ. AT. YOUR. OWN. RISK.This is the momentMariake Rojas'"Mama, mama, mama, nakita kita kanina sa TV! Nag-wonder nga ako akala ko nag-alis ikaw."Nakahiga ako sa kama habang si Ada ay nakatabi sa akin. My very big belly is exposed in front of my daughter's eyes. I have no idea if she knew that I am pregnant or she really believed what Maria Juana told her these past few weeks, that I have eaten a big chunk of watermelon at na-impacho ako.Maria Juana is putting a lot of things inside my baby's head. Hindi ko rin naman siya masisi, maigi na rin siguro iyon para hindi masabi ni Ada sa Papa niya na buntis nga ako."Hindi pa pwede, Baby kasi nga nagre-rest pa si Mama."She was drawing something in her paper."I like it when you're on tv. Kasi you're very pretty po. Just like Ate!"Napangiti ako nang banggitin niya ang Ate niya. I cupped her face tapos ay nagpa-kiss ako."Ay, Mama, lalabas na ba si Baby Dog? Kasi nagbibili na si Tita Mary at Tita Clari ng mga things.""Oo, malapit na,

READ. AT. YOUR. OWN. RISK.Tell me why, KairosMariake Rojas'I couldn't stay still. Si Ada ay nakayakap sa Papa niya at umiiyak. Si Mary Jane ay karga si Xhan habang may subong pacifier. Iyak ako nang iyak. I can't lose another child again. I can't lose my Xavi. He's too young!Not a moment later, lumabas iyong nurse at tinawag ako. Agad akong tumakbo papasok. I wiped my tears and moved closer to the bed. Naroon si Xavi. Ave Maria was playing with him. He was making googly sounds, halos pumutok na ang pisngi niya kakatawa."What happened? Did he choke? Is he okay?""Oh, he is, Mariake." Sabi ni Ave sa akin. "May namuong milk sa may lalamunan niya and he almost choked pero okay na siya. I got it all out. Advice lang, every now and then, iki-clean mo iyong tongue niya." Napalunok ako. I forgot to clean his tongue a day ago dahil sa pag-aalala ko kay Ada. I talked to her on the phone and she seemed sad, dala ko na iyon sa isipan ko hanggang sa ngayon.Naluluhang kinuha ko si Xavi at hin

Read. At. Your. Own. Risk.Pros and Cons Kairos Gregor Rouvin Vejar"Tell me why, Kairos?"Her tears fell. I somehow know how hard she was trying to look stronger. Her hands were clasped in a way na hindi mahahalata na nanginginig siya. I know her, she is my wife. I know how scared she is now and I cannot blame her. I know how much of an asshole I am. I know how much I have hurt her. I know these things and yet, I cannot prevent them from happening to her because, well because of the wrong choices I have made in my life."Well, that's not true." Biglang sabi niya. "I felt like I was the wife but at the back of my mind, I was never sure if you love me or not or you were just being nice. But to me, those were the best moments of my life, Kairos but that all went away because you told me that it was always been her. How about that huh?"May pait sa boses ni Mariake. I sighed again. She stood up and fixed the pillows inside the crib."Bakit pa ng aba tayo mag-uusap? Alam ko naman, Kairo

Elisha was with her. Si Eros ay nasa lap ni Pan at tulog na tulog na. Everyone in the family is awake and we are going to look for Ada. Mariake is crying and shivering. I am worried about her too – pero mas nag-aalala ako sa prinsesa ko."I saw her leaving the house. I checked on Alba kasi, Kairos tapos napa-look ako sa window and then, I saw her leaving. I thought, I was namamalikmata pero it was real! Like, I went here to check on her, the twins were asleep on the crib but Ada's nowhere to be found so I came to the house again and woke Elisha and here we are now. We like have to find her.""Mr. Pops is gone." Iake said. "Umalis talaga siya. She always takes the bear with her.""God! Mariake, how can you be so pabaya?" I heard Dione in the background.
