Cassandra..."I am very sorry, Cassie.." Rengie sadly said. Nasa harap na ang kaniyang sasakyan sa Makati clinic ng tumunog ang kaniyang cellphone. After answering and talking to someone on the phone, malungkot siyang tumingin sa akin. Turning off the cellphone, he said; " I am very sorry, Cassie...there was an emergency at the S palace Mandaluyong branch. I can't accompany you inside." I burst into laughter. "What?" he widened his eyes. "Kasi Ikaw.." I am still laughing. "Bakit naman ganiyan ang reaksyon mo? Mukha ka namang iiwanan talaga na nalulungkot. Your expression is so funny.." Lalong nanlaki Ang mga mata ni Rengie. "I was sad that I can't accompany you inside and you are just making fun of my reaction?" "Oh, please, Ren...stop being so dramatic. Okay lang naman na ako lang mag-isa ang mag pa check up. It's not like I'm going to cross the desert just to have a pre-natal visit, duh.." I rolled my eyes. He chuckled when I did it. "Now, that's funny.." "What?" I
Adrian's pov"Cassandra Sayson?" Mabilis akong nag-angat ng tingin ng marinig ko na tinatawag ang pangalan ni Cassandra ng personal assistant ni doktor Federico. I put the newspaper that I was reading on my lap. Did I hear it right? Why she's here? The last time I saw her was in Cebu City. At bakit siya nag-iisa? Where is that conceited b*stard who claimed to be the father of her child?! B*llshit, I shouldn't be looking at her, I shouldn't be thinking of her, were done . Besides, ipinamukha niya sa akin na hindi ako ang ama ng kaniyang dinadala, ng kaniyang ipinagbuntis, so, why should I give a damn about her presence? I am sitting on the couch, waiting for Sharon, who went to the bathroom. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Cassandra stood up and went to the assistant table.She looks stunning with her white maternity dress at lalo yatang lumobo ang umbok ng kaniyang tiyan. Is it me or sadyang maraming buntis sa Pilipinas, sa dami ng nag pa check up ngayon sa k
Adrian's POV "What happened?" "Nothing.." I replied to my father when he asked for a bruise on the side of my right face. "It doesn't look like anything to me..may nakaaway ka ba?" untag pa ng aking ama. The bruise on my face is visible to ignore. "Dad, it's nothing...nabangga lang ako, I had a few drinks with my friends." I paused. "It's nothing." I said and kept silent as I don't want to say anything about the incident with that bastard nephew of Sheena. "Okay then, if you don't want to talk about it, at least put something to make that bruised disapper." my father turned his back on me. I was sitting in the mini bar house of the mansion trying to drown myself with alcohol. Hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip na nakatira si Cassandra kay Rengie Santos, of all people. I thought she was living with her relatives away from the city, away from her grandparents. Walang idea sina Susie at Gladys kung nasaan siya, maging ang lolo at lola niya sa Bulacan. So, I thought, she was is
"You still love him, don't you?" Nag-iwas ng tingin si Cassandra, hindi niya inamin pero hindi rin naman niya itinatanggi ang tanong ni Rengie. It doesn't take a genius for Rengie to realize the message that Cassandra is trying to send. Rengie Santos stood up, "Come now, it's getting late. Tinanggap ni Cassandra ang kamay ni Rengie habang sumang-ayon. "Kahit nakahanda na ang mga dadalhin mo bukas sa iyong paglipat, mas mainam pa rin na nakapagpahinga ka ng maayos." Rengie smiled. "Paano ba kita pasasalamatan, Ren? I could never thank you enough..' "Shhh, don't mention it. Gaya nga ng sabi ko sa iyo, hindi mo na kailangan na i stressed ang iyong sarili. Huwag mo ng intindihin ang mga sinasabi ko sa iyo, I mean, kung hindi ka pa handa. I am willing to wait. But for now, you don't have to worry, huwag mong intindihin ang tulong ko sa iyo okay?" Bumuntong-hininga si Cassandra na niyakap si Rengie. "You're such an angel..hah!' napasinghap si Cassandra ng naramdaman niya ang pagga
Cassandra's POV "Gising ka pa pala.." "Hmmn.." I hum when Rengie joined me on the balcony of The S Palace restaurant. "Masama sa iyo ang magpuyat.." he reminded me.." "Alas nuebe pa naman." I said as I checked on my wrist watch. "Okay, you have 15 minutes left before you go to sleep.." he said. I laughed. Nasanay na ako sa ugali ni Rengie, when it comes to the baby, when it comes to my pregnancy, he is a little bit possessive. Maybe not possessive, it is not the right term to use. Siguro protective lang siya sa akin dahil naaawa siya sa kalagayahan ko. "Yes Daddy.." I jokingly said and we laughed. He's playing a father figure to the baby and that's why I teased him. Rengie cleared his throat, "It's true..' he whispered. Leaning on the balustrade, I quickly glanced at him. "What about?" I asked him. "Come.." inabot niya ang kaniyang kamay sa akin. Humawak naman ako at giniya niya ako na maupo sa bistro set na nasa gitna ng balcony. Ang balcony sa second floor ng
Present situation Rengie Santos...."It's been three months Aunt, for chrissake, can we please drop the topic?" I seriously said to my Aunt Sheena. Every now and then she keeps on asking me about Cassandra. I'm beginning to think that she's really in doubt. She's doubting me, totally. She eyed me before glancing away to my office at The S Palace in Mandaluyong branch. "Peksman, hindi mo talaga alam kung nasaan si Cassandra?" she asks. I have to look straight to her eyes, " I don't know.." "Promise?" "What is this all about, aunt Sheena?" I smile. "Mamatay man--" "Aunt Sheena.." I stood up and busied myself looking for some files on the desk. " I really don't know.." I chuckle. "Hmnnn.." "Very well, if you see so.." she said but remain seated in front of me. I sighed and sat down again, seeing that she was still in her seat. "I don't know why it bothers you so much, Aunt Sheena.." "I don't know, darling, hindi ako mapalagay na basta na lang nawala si Cassandra. As a w
