EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE SEVEN
“Zaeia!” sigaw ni Lucas ng kunwaring nilubog ni Chocho ang kanyang ulo sa dagat habang sila’y naliligo. Napatawa na lamang si Zaeia dahil sa kakulitan ng dalawa. Samantalang si Chacha naman ay kumakain lang ng strawberries sa kanyang tabi matapos nitong maligo. Tumayo si Zaeia at sinalubong ang kanyang anak ng isang tuwalya. Napaismid naman sa kanya si Lucas dahil hindi man lang siya binigyan ni Zaeia ng tuwalya. ‘Isip bata.’ “Let’s go back to our room na. Gabi na at sisinipunin kayo kung mag-swimming pa kayo. Bukas naman.” “Okay, mommy!” sabay na wika ng kambal. Bumalik na sila sa hotel na kanilang tinutuluyan. Ngayong araw ay ang kaarawan ng kambal. Hindi na nila hiniling pa ng magarbong selebrasyon. Mas pinili na lamang nilang i-enjoy ang kulay asul na dagat. Pagkabukas ng elevator ay bumungad sa kanila sina Elisha at Duke. Nagtungo ang tingin ni Zaeia sa kanilang mga kamay na magkahawak. Mas lalo pa itong hinigpitan ni Elisha nang mapansin na nakatingin rito ang kaibigan. La
EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE EIGHT
Zaeia sighed when she saw her twins walking towards her. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin dahil halos hindi siya nakatulog sa mga rebelasyon na nalaman niya. She loved Elisha and treated her as her own sister but she still chose to betray her. Her eyes lacked emotions. "Mommy, what are you thinking?" Chacha asked her. She looked at her children with love and compassion. "Mommy, are you stressed? Maybe, you didn't like to celebrate our birthday here in the Philippines." Chacha sounds sad. Chocho hugged his twin sister. "Twin, mommy needs rest. Maybe she needs beauty time?" Chocho whispered to his twin. Chacha giggled. "We will go home. Did you two enjoy your day?" tanong ni Zaeia sa kanyang mga anak. Nakita niya na bitbit ng dalawa ang mga gamit nito. Napakunot ang kanyang noo ng makita na wala si Lucas sa likod ng mga bata. "Where's your uncle Lucas?" tanong ni Zaeia sa kambal. Her twin smirked. Tumingin siya sa paligid at nakita niya si Duke at ang ahas na kaibigan niya na naglalaka
EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE NINE
Zaeia walked into the building with a smile on her face and her brow up straight as her confidence grew. The building was full with chitchats, with some scared of her as she was known for her harsh leadership while others grinning at her and that they were glad she was back as she made her way to her office only to discover Duke sitting in her chair.“What are you doing in here?” she asked in a monotone voice, her eyes shirked, her mood shifting due to the man in front of her.The twins held her hand as they sensed her deep emotion. She took her twins to her workplace while Lucas returned to the United States for critical neurology appointments.“We really looked alike,” he remarked while glancing at the twins.Nagkaroon naman ng halo-halong emosyon si Zaeia nang mapagtanto ang sinabi Duke.“What are you talking about? Anak namin sila ni L-Lucas,” she spoke in a stuttering tone, clearly concerned about Duke's plans. Duke laughed as he stood up and walked to the door and said, “Ganito
EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE TEN
Nakasimangot at hindi maipinta ang ekspresyon ni Kara habang pinapanood ang kanyang kapatid sa harapan upang i-propose sa mga shareholders ang kanyang plano upang umangat muli ang kanilang kompanya. Nalaman nila na masyadong nagpa-panic na ang mga ito dahil sa papalapit na pagbagsak ng kanilang kompanya."As of now, I talked and negotiated with those agents who resigned and they want to be part of our company again," Zaeia said using her business tone.One of the stockholders raised his hand, and Zaeia smiled lovingly at him to get their approval, then looked at her sister and winked at her, making her upset once more."They resigned in our company but still you choose to hire them again? Paano kung balak lang pala nila magtraydor sa atin?" tanong ng lalaki. Ngumisi naman si Kara sa naging tanong ng shareholder.“There have been several complaints of agents failing to complete their tasks correctly, yet you still opt to hire them? Why not attempt to find new ones?” dagdag na tanong na
EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE ELEVEN
Nakatulala lamang si Duke habang hinihintay si Elisha na lumabas. Napabuntong-hininga siya. Sigurado siya na siya ang ama ng kambal ngunit parating kinakaila ni Zaeia ang lahat.'Come on, man! The agreement will be void if you keep doing this,' Duke told himself. Iritable siyang napasabunot sa kanyang noo saka napalingon ng makita si Elisha na naglalakad papunta sa kanya. He secretly gulped. It's his fault, buntis na si Elisha ano pa nga ba ang magagawa niya?"What are you doing?" tanong ni Elisha kay Duke ng makita niya na sinasabunutan nito ang sarili."Nothing," sagot ni Duke. Mabilis itong pumasok sa kanyang sasakyan na pinagtaka ni Elisha. Pumasok na rin si Elisha habang inoobserbahan si Duke."What's wrong with you? Dahil na naman ba ‘to kay Zaeia?" tanong ni Elisha.Napakapit naman ng mahigpit si Duke sa mismong manibela."H-Hindi, may iniisip lang ako na proposal sa mga investor," dahilan niya kay Elisha. Elisha nodded her head and looked out the window. She keeps thinking Z
EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE TWELVE
“You will need surgery. We can use the total removal procedure but there's a good chance your eyesight will be damaged,” Lucas remarked while pointing out the tumor on the patient's MRI on his monitor.He's been a competent neurosurgeon for a long time, and people look up to him since he's one of the best. He has dealt with a variety of patients during his career, but it was his late mother who inspired him to become a surgeon. Despite the fact that he was unable to save her, he wishes to use his abilities to help others.It's terrifying to have to operate on people, knowing that one wrong move can ruin everything; specifically, Lucas is working with the brain, spine, and other nervous system components.The surgery is scheduled following their conversation. He tried to call Zaeia to see how the twins were doing, but she didn't answer.Lucas knows very little about Zaeia's life and what she is up to. He was only aware of what occurred between her and Duke. Despite the fact that he doe
EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE THIRTEEN
Naghahanda na si Zaeia upang umuwi dahil madilim na ang gabi. Siguradong magtataka si Lucas at ang kanyang ina kung bakit natagalan siya sa pag uwi.Isang kamay ang sapilitang iniharap siya sa kanya na walang iba kundi si Ada.“That wasn't even an act. I almost drowned, bitch!” sigaw nito. Pakiramdam ni Zaeia na totoong nangyari ang mga bagay na nakalagay sa script kaya’t halos makatotohanan ang kanyang nagawa.“Well, I’m sorry,” sarkastiko niyang tugo at nagpatuloy sa kanyang ginagawa.“Anong kailangan mo, Zaeia? I’m living the best of my life. Kung tungkol sa organisasyon ang dahilan ng pagpapakita mo uli sa ‘kin, pwes hinding hindi na ako babalik.” Isinuot ni Zaeia muli ang kanyang jacket at naglakad papalayo. Ngunit huminto siya matapos makalabas ng tent at lumingong muli kay Ada.“Well, good luck to you.” At naglakad patungo sa kanyang sasakyan. Nakasalubong niya ang manager ni Ada at inabot ng sikreto ang tseke na naglalaman ng tatlong milyong pesos.“Do your job smoothly.” Tuma
EX-LOVERS' MISTAKE FOURTEEN
Duke decided to follow Zaeia as he witnessed how Zaeia got hit by a post. He was in fear thinking about Zaeia's condition. He went out to his car and ran to save Zaeia. He saw Zaeia was unconscious and bleeding. "Zaeia!" he shouted his name. Seeing Zaeia in her state makes him tremble in fear. "Fuck! No, Zaeia please," he wanted to cry but he couldn't. He needs to save Zaeia first, mabilis niyang sinuntok ang bintana malapit sa driver seat at chineck ang kanyang pulso. "Come on, Zaeia! Wake up," maamong sabi niya. Nagising si Zaeia na nasa hospital na siya. Her head was hurting. "Why am I here?" tanong niya sa kanyang sarili. Bigla niyang naalala na ang pagputok ng baril at nang mabangga siya sa isang poste. "Elisha," galit na sambit niya sa pangalan ng kanyang kaibigan. She was sure it's all Elisha's fault. That time before she heard the gunshot, Elisha texted her, thinking it's Elisha's warning. "Ibang klase ka talaga, gusto mo na talaga akong mamatay," gigil na sambit niy
