Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
"Naku po, ito na naman ang chopper na 'to." Napa-antanda ako ng krus nang makita ang sasakyang-panghimpapawid na iyon. Narinig ko ang mahinang pagtawa ni Sir Frank dahil sa reaksiyon ko. "Sige, sa'n mo mas gustong sumakay? Diyan o sa 'kin?" "Ano po?" Nanlalaki ang mga matang napalingon ako sa kanya. "Wala. Sabi ko, I love you." Kinindatan niya ako. "Come on, get inside now." Inalalayan niya ako upang makasampa sa chopper. Tapos ay sumunod na rin siya at naupo sa tabi ko. Napahugot ako ng malalim na paghinga nang magsimulang suma-himpapawid ang chopper. Life is short to live in fear. Pumasok sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Maui noong nag-usap kami. Napagtanto ko na hindi lang iyon sa pag-ibig maaaring i-apply kundi sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay. "Close your eyes if you don't wanna see it," mahinang sabi ni Sir Frank sa likod ko. Nakatingin kasi ako sa kabilang direksyon, tinatanaw ang bughaw na langit at mga ulap. Umayos ako ng upo at tumingin sa kanya. "Maganda na
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE (Special Chapter)
(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) I smiled upon seeing my beautiful wife...I mean, not yet but in a few moments. Actually, beautiful is an understatement. She looks regal like a queen, and immaculate like an angel, and charming like a kid. I don't know the exact description, but she's just a breathtaking combination of everything. She's walking down the aisle in her elegant wedding dress, which is a statement of how conservative and pure she is. Of all the dresses presented to her, she picked the one with the least details and with long sheer sleeves. Up until now, I'm still in awe that she accepeted my wedding proposal three months ago in Siargao. I thought she'll propose too, for us to be in a relationship first, like for a year or two maybe. I'm willing to oblige if in case she will. But no, she didn't. Right after that day, we started preparing for the wedding - that's how excited I am. And she willingly participated with

(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) "Baby, I have another vow that I can't say inside the church earlier." I gently sucked Florence's earlobe. "But let me tell it to you now." "A-ano 'yon?" She tried to turned to me so I kissed her cheek. "I promise, that from this day onwards, my soldier will never salute to any other woman, but you," I whispered on her ear. "Soldier?" she repeated. I chuckled. Mukhang hindi na naman niya na-gets. My innocent wife. I walked towards where she is facing. Tumingala siya para tignan ako, at halatang umiiwas din siya na mapatingin sa bakat na halos nakatapat na sa mukha niya. I grabbed her hand and slowly glided it to my abdomen, down to my navel, without losing my eye contact with her. And down to my manhood where I stopped and pinned her hand. "My soldier will always be loyal to you, wifey. He's all yours," I said. "And you can take him all in." I saw her doll eyes widen,

(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) "Wifey." Florence stopped from mixing the batter and looked at me. "Uhmmm...bakit?" "I love you." I gave her a smack on the cheek. "Hala siya. I love you too." She gently caressed my face before returning to what she is doing. Alam ko naman na busy siya, gusto ko lang talagang mangulit. I want to be around her all the time. Na-obsess na yata ako dito sa asawa ko. Pinanood ko lang siya sa ginagawa niya habang nakatayo sa tabi niya at nakasandal ako sa kitchen counter. "Ang sarap mo namang bumatí." "Hoy, hala!" Napahinto siya sa ginagawa niya at nanlalaki ang mga matang tumingin sa akin. "Na-gets na. 'Di ka na inosente, baby girl." Tumatawang panunukso ko. "Doon ka na nga, baby," pagtataboy niya sa akin. "Wala akong matatapos niyan sa kaka-kulit mo sa akin." "Para saan ba kasi 'yan? You're doing what?" I asked. "Magbe-bake akong cupcakes," masayang sagot niya. "Firs
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO (Special Chapter)
(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) Florence gently caressed my jawline. I noticed that it seems to be her love language as she does that to me most of the time. And I'm lovin' it. I want the feel of her warm and soft palm against my skin. "So you've been in-love with me too all this time?" I was over the moon with that idea. "Eh...ganito kasi." And she went on telling me the exact reason why she left LDC before. Now, I understand why her decision was so sudden. And I admire her even more for being protective of her relationship with Maui before. One thing I need to work on is to not feel insecure whenever she talks about him. It's all in the past and I am his husband now, but sometimes, I can't help but feel that way. Maybe it's because I saw how in-love she is with him back then. "No'ng nagkita tayo sa Dubai no'n, no'ng unang beses kang pumunta. Naramdaman ko ulit 'yon, pero hindi pa ako sigurado," paliwanag pa niya.
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE
"Condolence." "Nakikiramay kami sa nangyari." "Maraming salamat," wika ni Maui. "Salamat sa pagpunta." Nagtungo kami ni Frank sa lamay ng pumanaw na ama ni Maui. Halata pa ang pamumugto ng kanyang mga mata. "By the way, this is Jazbel, my wife." Ipinakilala niya sa amin ang asawa niya na noon ko lang din nakita ng personal. Ang ganda niya! Pang-artista talaga. Inimbitahan naman namin sila sa kasal namin ni Frank noon, pero nagkataong nasa America sila noong mga panahong iyon. Inaasikaso ang kalagayan ng noo'y may sakit nang si Sir Tony, ang ama ni Maui. "Finally. Nice meeting you!" Lalo akong na-starstruck nang yakapin niya ako. Nagulat ako kasi tila kilalang-kilala na niya ako. Naiku-kuwento kaya ako ni Maui sa kanya? Sana naman maayos iyong kuwento niya, hindi iyong mga pagkakataon na lagi ako nakakatulog sa kotse nang naka-nganga. "N-nice meeting you din," wika ko habang magkayakap kami. "I have a lot of things to share to you, pero saka na lang, hindi fi
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) EPILOGUE
(This part of the story is told through Frank's perspective/point-of-view (POV).) "Ayos ka lang bang bata ka?" tanong ni Mama kay Florence. "Okay lang, 'ma. Nahilo lang po yata ako sa biyahe," I heard her answer. "Siguro nga dahil hindi na 'ko nagta-trabaho kaya 'di na rin sanay." We visited her family one Sunday to have lunch with them. This is a routine we do at least every other week because I know she misses everyone at home. Like today, after a sumptuous lunch we all shared, we're all just chilling in the living room, exchanging stories. She used the amount she got from Bermudez Builders to buy the house and lot situated beside their home. This is for her aunt and cousin, so they could live close to Mama, my mother-in-law. I'm suggesting that we could buy a bigger property, but she refused. She says that the house they live in has a sentimental value for her. Kapag sinasabi niya nga sa akin, sipag at tiyaga daw ang puhunan niya para lang ma-fully paid iyon. And I do
Entangled (The Ledesma Legacy Series 1) PROLOGUE
"Catacutan, Florence. Cum Laude." Nagkatinginan kami ni Mama at ngumiti sa isa't-isa. Ito na ang bunga ng lahat ng sakripisyo, lahat ng pagsisikap, lahat ng puyat at pagod sa pinagsasabay na pag-aaral at trabaho bilang kasambahay. Buong pagmamalaki kong tinanggap ang diploma at medalyang isinabit sa leeg ko habang hawak ko ang kamay ni Mama. Siya ang inspirasyon ko para magawa ang lahat ng ito. Pangarap ko kasing maiahon na siya sa pagiging katulong na katulad ko. Gusto kong masabi sa kanya balang-araw na, "Ma, ako na ang bahala." Konting kembot na lang iyon. Next week, magsisimula na ako sa bago kong trabaho. Bago pa kasi itong pagtatapos namin
