XXXIII. A Friend's Request
Pinilit ng batang si Marsden na huwag isipin ang sitwasyon nila ng kanyang mama. Huli niya itong nakita kahapon bago siya nagkulong sa Music Room. Natulog siyang nagtatampo dito. Mahal niya ang kanyang mama ngunit nasasaktan siya sa trato nito sa kanya nitong nagdaang mga buwan. Mainit ang ulo nito. Mas nagiging madalas ang business trips kaya naman hindi na niya ito masyadong nakikita.
Minsan nahihiling niya na sana mahirap na lang sila. Nakatira sa isang maliit na bahay at simple lang ang pamumuhay.
Nanaginip siya na dinalaw siya ng kanyang mama sa kanyang kwarto, hinimas ang kanyang noo at hinalikan ang kanyang kamay habang ito ay umiiyak.
Kinaumagahan ay maaga itong umalis at hindi na sila nagkita pa. Gusto niyang magsorry dito sa inakto. Gusto niya itong makausap bago ito umalis ngunit hindi na siya kailanman nabigyan pa ng pagkakataon dahil pagkatapos ng tatlong araw, dumating ang

“C’mon man, let’s have a drink later,” saad ng lead Engineer at batchmate niyang si Liam. “Okay I’ll see you at 9:00. Mr. Muran was delayed in delivering the supplies I’ll think I need a drink. He’s making my head aches,” saad niya habang nakasandal sa backrest ng kanyang armchair at minamasahi ang sentido. “He is a good businessman, surely they will cope up soon.” “They better, they were breaching the contract and it’s affecting us.” “Kalma muna pare, see you maya at Raizone.” Nang makaalis ang kaibigan napabuntong-hininga na lamang si Marsden. Alas siyete na nang sulyapan niya ang kanyang relo. He took his phone and put his feet over the table and relaxingly lounge over his chair. “Hey!” “Hey! Kumain ka na ba?” saad ni Trisha sa kabilang linya. “Not yet…I’m still in the office.” “Take good care of yourself. Padalhan na lang kita d’yan ng picture ng niluto ko para
Be Officially Mine XXXV. A Cruel Love
Hinatid niya si Rheanne sa room nito dahil halos hindi na ito makalakad sa kalasingan. He even had a hard time convincing her to leave. Nang mabuksan ang pinto ay agad niya itong pinahiga sa kama. She was still laughing and even singing. May sinasabi ito pero hindi niya maintindihan. Pagkatapos alisin ang sandals nito ay kinuha niya ang kumot and covered her with it. Aalis na sana siya nang hablutin nito ang kamay niya. “Don’t leave,” anitong pilit tumatayo. Her eyes were pleading. “I should leave Rhey, just sleep okay?” Dahan-dahan niyang tinanggal ang pagkakahawak nito to help her lay down. “I love you. I love you Mars,” anitong puno ng emosyon sabay yakap sa kanyang leeg. Sandali siyang natigilan sa sinabi nito. She what?! Bago pa man siya makareact ay hinalikan siya nito sa mga labi. “Rhey!” sabay iwas dito. “What are you doing?” He detached himself

"Rhey is in Cebu to confess,” saad ni Myrtelle. Tumingin siya dito. Pilit tinatakpan ang ang biglaang kirot na naramdaman. Gusto man niyang magsalita, wala siyang maisip na sasabihin. In her mind, “Rhey is going to confess, must have already confessed and by the look of it… things have been good between her and Marsden.” Napansin niyang napatitig ito sa kanya kaya naman pilit siyang nag-isip ng sasabihin. “She love him?“ “For years…” anitong nakatanaw sa malayo. “She love him more than Amber did. Had sacrificed a lot just for him and now that he’s back she won’t waste another minute to let him know.” She subtly cleared her throat as if realizing that she had shared something she shouldn’t have especially to her. “Atleast now, nagkaroon na siya nang pagkakataong sabihin kay Marsden,” aniyang pilit ngumiti. Honestly, she admired Rhey for finally taking up the courage. “Hindi ka ba naiinis o di naman kaya
Be Officially Mine XXXVII. A Night Of Pain
To look at her makes him unease. Marsden felt like he was drowning and can’t seem to find something to hold on to. He felt the frustration of wanting someone he doesn’t have the right to want. She’s so beautiful and the longing intensified especially when she smiled at him openly. He wanted to kiss her right there where she stood wearing a white dress which fitted her so perfectly. Just like a bride waiting for her groom. But then reality hit him, she will be another man’s bride, not his. True, he had business matters that needed his attention but he can still work on it through his secretary. He just wanted to see her today, he can’t even understand it. Maybe because Trisha keeps on telling him what she felt about this photoshoot. He knew she was anxious that she won’t give justice to the dresses and no matter what he said, the feeling won’t disappear. He wanted to support her so on impulse he had flewn from Cebu even
Be Officially Mine XXXVIII. A Cousin's Vengeance
Marsden knew Trisha was hurting. He can see it in her eyes kaya naman hindi niya magawang tumingin sa mga mata nito. Ayaw niya ng ganito, lying to her and pretending to like someone else but things are getting out of control and he won’t let his feelings for her makes him vulnerable again. Pero kanina hinayaan niyang pagmasdan ang masayang pagsasayaw nito kasama ang mga kaibigan. He wanted to dance with her, hold her close to him, to possessively grip her hips and sensually join with the bit. She laughed with abandon caused by too much cocktail which he noticed Trisha drank vigorously and the flush in her cheeks made her even more attractive. “Oo nga pala pare, hindi ka pa namin napapasalamatan sa lahat ng tulong mo kay Trisha, “ saad sa kanya ni Brix. “Kaibigan ko rin siya so it’s okay,” sabay ngiti sa mga ito. Napatingin siya ulit sa kaibigan. “She’s a strong one, “ aniyang may paghanga sa boses. “One of a k

Ang sumunod na mga araw ay pahirap kay Trisha. Everyday her patience was tested. Daily, Chelsea reminds her of the past after her parents died, when she and her kuya lived at her uncle’s house. Remembering those times when she made her cousin’s report, brought her a bunch of books Chelsea annoyingly left at her locker, deliberately. Always bidding her to buy snacks outside the campus while she was so busy doing research. The feelings are coming back to her, the annoyance, the selfpity and even the thought how cruel the world was. Her pride was wounded back then. Her friends whom she thought were true, hurtfully joined Chelsea. Pero kahit noon pa man, even when she asked God why did things get so hard for her, at the end of the day, she still have a ready smile for everyone. Believing that whatever life threw at her she overcame with a smile… she was just thankful she and her brother had a roof over their head

Papasok na siya ng kanilang opisina at hindi napansing nasa hall rin pala ito. “Okay lang,” sagot niya dito with a smile. “Hmmm….well I hope it will last, Merry Christmas,” anitong nakangiti bago umalis. Trisha was left wondering if something was amiss o baka naman may pasabog nanaman ito. Jade was smiling but it didn’t reach her eyes. The intensity of her gaze made the hair at her nape shiver, there’s something in there she can’t quiet explain especially as she remembered when Jade begun the scandal with Marsden…she must be a true friend for Chelsea dahil tinutulungan nito ang pinsan na pahirapan siya. But is it all? Minsan naiisip niya baka may nagawa rin siya kay Jade na hindi niya alam. Bago tuluyang pumasok ng opisina, she sighed in resignation. Kahit anong pilit ang pag-ala
