Unexpected turn of EventsAfter completing all the papers that I needed to turn over and saying good byes to my colleagues, I am finally boarding to Philippines although tatlong araw lang akong mamalagi muna bago tuluyang manirahan at ma assign sa Pilipinas. Uuwi lang muna ako dahil nakapangako ako kina Jano na aattend sa kanilang aniversary at sa isang exhibit o charity para sa mga bata. I didn't got a chance last time noong kami pa ni... Argh! Scrath that! Bakit nitong nagdaang mga araw ay lagi itong sumasagi sa isip ko. Kahit ang mga kaibigan namin ay bukang bibig din ito. Kung dati ay nag aalangan pa silang banggitin o iparinig sa akin ang kanilang usapan tungkol dito ngayon ay iba na. Malimit kahit nasa video call kami ay madalas nilang banggitin si Elijah. The news didn't help too. Lagi itong laman ng balita dahil sa kabi-kabilang launch ng The Ford ngayong taon.Rose and I chatted about their upcoming event in Sulu and she want me to be one of the speakers. I tell her that Iโl

Elijahโs POV (a gleams)โIsnโt it too dangerous there, Rose?โ.โMedyo, but gladly Elijah sent men for our team safety. Too much explosive mine hidden underground and one of the residents got into accident earlierโ.โDied?โ. Tanong ulit ni Lino.We were having our video meeting as well as checking Rose status who is in Israel for our foundation helping children who are affected cause of the war.โYeah! at madaming nadamay, karamihan kabataan. Mabuti nalang may mga doctor nang nauna ditoโBiglang nanlaki ang mga mata nito habang nakatakip ang kamay sa nakangangang bibig. Napailing ako. Yuhan and Namu chuckle.โWha-what is it?โ. Tarantang tanong ni Lino.โGuys! Speaking of doctorโYou wonโt believe who I saw todayโ. Rose is so excited. Parang kanina lang nalulungkot ito sa nangyari.โAlam naming yung crush mo noong high school! Arabo yun, iyong transfereeโ. Tawang saad ni Yuhan.โThe hell!โ.We laugh with her remarks.โItโs Dr. Verde dumb ass! Siyaโฆsiya yung tumulong kanina sa mga nasuga

Levyโs POV1 month laterโTito Levy!โ. Bahagya akong yumuko para salubungin ng yakap si Farah.โHi! Dear! Happy birthday!โ. Masaya kung bati dito at hinalikan ito sa pisnge.โIโm so happy that you cameโ. Nakangiting sabi nito.โGod! Levy! 72 hours of duty really?? Buhay kapa??โ. Medyo hysterical na sigaw ni Chimuel. Napalingon ang mga taong nasa living room nina Jano, umirap ako ng mag tama ang mga mata namin ni Yuhan. Tumawa ako sa salubong nito sa akin, tiningnan niya ako ng masama. Kumaway ako kay Farah na nagmamadaling lumabas. Nasa pool area ang party nito.โAlive and fresh!โ Pabiro kung sagot pero inirapan lang ako nito.โIkaw lang ba ang doctor ng hospital ha?โ. Masungit paring sabi nito habang nakapamaywang. โAbah!โOo nga naman Levyโ. Sigunda naman ni Jano na kakalabas lang mula sa kusina.Umiling lang ako sa mga ito at sumunod kay Jano para bumalik sa kusina.โNormal lang yan pag doctor kaโ.โBakit pag doctor kaba hindi ka na magkakasakit? Tao ka rin baka nakakalimutan mo!โ

โThat was intenseโ. Bulong ni Happy ng nasa sasakyan na kami pauwi. I donโt know how we get out on that topic. All I know it was totally awkward. Hanggang sa pag-uwi ay patingin-tingin ang lola nito sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Baka pagbabawalan nanaman niya akong lumapit sa apo niya. Wellโฆginagawa ko ang lahat para makaiwas.Itatanong ba niya kung bakit ako bumalik? O kung bakit pa ako bumalik?Hindi na ako sumagot. Pinikit ko ang aking mga mata. I feel so tired. Tired of everything. Simula ng bumalik ako ay inabala ko ang sarili sa trabaho. I am getting and switching schedules with the doctors on duty. Ayaw kung mag-isa sa bahay, masyadong tahimik, nakakabingi. Busy din si Chimuel maging si Happy na ilang buwan nang naka stay dito sa Pilipinas. He has morning shows and field interviews kaya naman madalas din namin siyang kasama. Pinipilit ko ngang sa bahay na tumira but his comapany got him penthouse near their studio, pero minsan kina Chimuel din kami namamalagi.Dahan-daha

The Talk โMay I dance with the most beautiful man in the crowd?โ โNo way!โ. Bulalas ni Jano ng naka irap sa amin. Sabay kaming tumawa ni Sandro. I reached for his hands and grab me towards the dance floor. Ngayong weekend na ang kasal nito kaya naman lumuwas itong Manila para sa birthday party ng kanyang kapatid, which is Gonzales business partner. Kaya nandito kami ngayong lahat. He slowly cares my waist and lead my arms into his shoulder. โBeauty and the Beast, really?โ. I giggle. He let out a soft laugh. โYeah! Iโm the beast..No..the Best and you are the beautyโ. Mabulong nitong saad. Bahagya ko siyang tinampal sa braso. Heโs hands is on my waist and I clung my hands on his neck. Our cheeks touching each other. His lips in my ears. โDonโt moveโ. Bulong nito. โHuh?โ. Takang tanong ko. Iaangat ko na sana ang mukha ko ngunit hinawakan nito ang likod ko. โYour ex is looking at us. Sigurado kabang naka move on na yan? Mukhang aabanagan atah ako sa kanto niyan mamayaโ. Tumawa

Home Nagising ako dahil sa malakas na tunog ng cellphone. Bahagya kung minulat ang mga mata ko, mataas na ang sikat ng araw. Naramdaman ko ang paghigpit ng yakap ni Elijah. โI think itโs your phoneโ. mahina kung tapik dito. โAnswer itโ. sagot naman nito habang lalong sumisik sa leeg ko. Mabilis ko namang inabot ito. Yuhan is calling. โYuhan?โ. Sagot ko dito. โLevy? You're with Eli?โ. โUm- I heard him chuckle. โYes, of course, you are. Please tell him we have online conference at 9am and it is 8 in the morning, he need to read some papers before that. Gisingin mo na siya at pumunta ka na din dito sa hotel o kami nalang ang pupunta dyan sa bahay niyo.โ โIโll tell him. Tell them Iโm okay. Weโre okay nowโ. โThatโs good. Inaasahan ko naman talaga yan Lev. Chimuel and I... were happyโ. โThank youโ. saad ko bago pinatay ang tawag. Ngunit bago ko pa man mailapag ang cellphone ay tumunog ulit ito. Itโs a video call this time. Elijah groans. Lalong sumiksik lang. Home is callingโฆ W

The MeetingMalakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko habang paakyat kami ni Elijah. I am clinging to him.โDonโt worry to much, baby. Heโll understandโ. Masuyo nitong bulong. He senses my remorse.I take a deep breath when we reached.Dinig ko ang mabilis na takbo nito mula sa taas.โPapa!โ.Agad akong kumalas mula sa pagkakahawak ni Elijah at sinalubong ito. Feels so unreal. I can't believe I am experiencing happiness this much.He embarced me tightly, like I would be gone once he loses his embrace. Ilang minuto din ang dumaan at walang nag salita sa amin. I heard him snift. My eyes watered too. Maya-maya ay kumalas ito ng bahagya para tingalain ako. His doe eyes fild with amusement.โWow! Papa you look like an angel." Namamanghang saad nito. I just chuckle. Hindi ko alam kung anong pwedeng isagot dito. We both look up to Elijah."Daddy why do you keep papa from me?โ. tila nagtatampong saad naman nito.โWoahhh!

Elijah Months had passed and we leave a happy and content life, but traits still out there. Ayaw ko nang makipag sapalaran. We talked about sending Andrew to school para naman masanay na ang bata sa labas, Levy still undecided. I know. He too is afraid. For the past month Iโve seen different Levy with our son and I didnโt regret my decision adopting Minaโs son. He never will be her. Andrew is meant to be ours. Me and my Levy. Siguro nga lahat ng nangyari ay naayun din sa pagkakataon. Worth it lahat. Weโve been through a lot. Mga panahong sa tingin ko ay di na ako makakabangon pang muli. Not without Levy in my side. Never thought that I would feel a strong pull of love with someone but with Levy it seems perfect at all. Him living me is like a hollow. Just living without life in it. Like an endless cycle. It my sound a cliche but Levy is like an air to me. He owns me. My body and soulโฆhe owns my everything. There are some nights that I would stare at him not believing that I fina

The promise of forever Levy Six months after Morgan was captured hindi din naging madali sa lahat ang mapanatag. Lalo na may mga tauhan itong loyalista. Ngunit siniguro nina Elijah, Yuhan at Namu na panatilihin ang kaligtasan ng lahat. โMay I see the ring?โ Excited na saad ni Happy pagdating naming sa bahay nina Chimuel. Iniharap ko ang aking kamay kung saad nakalagay ang malaking diamond ring. Elijah proposed last night while we were having our dinner date. It was not a fancy date but it was intimate and grand. Hindi ko akalaing pinaghandaan talaga nito ang lahat. Our friends are there, si Happy lang ang wala pero may partisipasyon ito sa plano. Kakauwi lang kasi nito galing nang Singapore. Happy is now the vice-president of TVS intertainment kaya mas lalo itong nagging abala. I was so happy. โAkala ko di na siya mag propropose ehโ Pabirong saad ni Happy. โI asked you for tipsโ. Elijah said amusedly. Happy laugh. โTips sa single na tulad koโ. Naiiling namang saad ni Happy. โ

Close Call I canโt explain how angry I am seeing Morgan. May mga pasa siya sa mukha dahil sa mga suntok ni Yuhan. Nakayuko ito nang pumasok ako sa interrogation. โFinally! Nahuli ka dinโ. Mariing saad ko. Kinuyom ko ang aking kamao para pigilan ang sariling sunggaban din ito. Series of flashbacks came in my mind, about how Levy almost lost his life the last time Morgan attempted. Nagtaas ito ng tingin sa akin at kumunot ang nuo. Maya-maya ay nanlaki an gang kanyang mga mata at nag pumiglas. โWha-what is happening?โ. Gulat nitong saad. โThis is the end, Morgan!โ Umiling ito. May mga luhang pumatak sa kanyang mga mata. Maya-maya pa ay tumawa din ito ng malakas. โNakaharap din kita Elijahโ.

D-DayIt was all in a motion. Parang isang iglap ganoon kadali ang nangyari.Levy got bruises. Kahit anong ingat hindi din naming nagawa dahil may mga taong bumaligtad sa amin. Apparently, just like we plan, Morgan is also waiting for our next plan. Mabuti nalang at nagging alerto si Happy at Jano at agad na nakaalis sa lugar.Originally, they plan to spend the weekend in Batangas where Jano and Namu rest house resides. Ngunit habang nasa byahe ay tinambangan ang mga ito habang ang team naman naming ay nakapasok sa lungga nina Morgan. We capture him finally at ngayon ay nasa interrogation room ito.Kinuyom ko ang aking kamao.Levy is in another room with the rest of our friends. Hindi napigilan ni Yuhan ang sarili kanina nang mahuli naming si Morgan at agad itong sinunggaban ng suntok. Hindi na nito nagawang manlaban. Chimuel got hurt.

The PlanโTatambangan daw nila ang sasakyan ng doctor. Wala na daw siyang pakialam kung may mga madamay manโ. Iyon ang sabi ng tauhan ni Morgan saad ni Namu at tiningnan kaming dalawa ni Yuhan.โThis is crazy! He is crazy!โ. Pagalit na saad ni Yuhan habang naka kuyom ang mga kamay sa taas ng mesa.My jaw lock.Nagngingit-ngit man ay kailangan naming kumalma lahat. Under surveillance na ang area kung saan itinuro ng tauhan ni Morgan ang hide out ng mga ito. Hindi na daw nito masikmura ang mga bagay na pinaggagagawa ni Morgan kaya naisipan niyang lumapit na kay Matias, hindi sa mga may kapangyarihan dahil malimit daw niyang makitang may mga naka uniporming pulis ang labas-masok sa kanilang hide-out.Sa ngayon wala pang kompermasyon mula sa mga authority na nagmamanman sa lugar ngunit may mga nakikita silang papasok na mga itim na van at ilang truck sa lugar maging mga taong may mga dalang baril. Ayun sa mga opisyal legal business daw ang permit na nakalagay at private area kaya di basta

PlansWhen our son came I thought of Levyโs reaction. I know we didnโt talk about having a family or even getting married. I hinted, sure, but didnโt have a time to prove it. Now that he is coming home I will do my best to get his forgiveness.Having a child is not easy as I envisioned it. There are times that I feel like I want to give up especially when Jacob starting to ask questions about his other fatherโฆ his papa. I have arranged all Levyโs things in our pad. All the things that Levy wants to throw away when he learned about Mina and we broke up but I insists of living it where it belong. I can wait for him to forgive me.Good things that my friends forgive me when they learned about my plan. Jano was giving me tips about rising a child. Chimuel will always come by even without Yuhan. Happy will always bring something from abroad for Jacob, but the most special gift he had is a video from Levy singing happy birthday to our son. I bet Levy donโt have any idea who was he singing w

Weโve reach the final two chapter of Elijah and Levy story. Thank you very much!I still remember the day when Chimuel and Yuhan confronted meโฆโAng kapal din naman ng mukha mo Elijah!โ. Chimuel glared at me while Yuhan grips his boyfriend from charging.Hindi ako kumibo. Di ko alam kung saan ako mag uumpisa. This is not the things that I am expecting. Levyโs hurting and so I am.โThatโs enough, loveโ. Mahinahong saad ni Yuhan. I look at him pleading. I know, Yuhan knows me. He nods but give me a look that stating he wants to know everything.Chimuel now crying. I averted my gaze.Kahit ako man ay di mapalagay. I love Levy as much but I canโt risk his safety. Lalo lang siyang mapapahamak kapag nasa tabi ko. I donโt care about mamita and Mina, they can marry each other if they want. And I didnโt touch her. Never sleep with her. I knowโฆ I will know if that ever happened. The last time I sleep with a girl was my last girlfriend who died in Morganโs skim and I wonโt let Levy have the sam

The Process Pursuing Levy is the best decision I've ever had. Siguro dahil pareho kami nang nararamdaman. When I hugged him all the burden in my heart vanish like a wildfire. The sparks I felt was unexplainable. Levy is everything. Everything to me. When we first made love it was euphoric. Like I felt that we both entered in a universe where the two of us were just the main character. Everything was perfect and I canโt get enough of him. I love him so much that I sometimes questions myself why I didnโt meet him in my early aged but I know everything has a reason at hindi kami aabot sa ganito kung nagkakilala kami ng mas maaga. Mamita will probably get on our way. Ngayonโฆ Kaya ko nang ipagtanggol at gumawa ng sariling desisyon pagdating sa amin ni Levy. Madalas ay namamangha ako. Ganito pala talaga ang pag-ibig. Love indeed works myteriously. Hindi ko alam. Madalas ay di ko maipaliwanag ang saya tuwing magkasama kaming dalawa. When Morgan knows about him I was devastated. Ilang oras
