"Nick. Are you okay?" tanong ni Alessandra sa kasintahan nang makaupo ito sa naroong sofa. Kumuha siya ng maligamgam na tubig at ibinigay rito ngunit hindi nito iyon tinanggap. Bumundol ang kaba sa kanyang dibdib dahil sa inaakto ni Nick.
"Let's break up, Alessandra," Nick said with a cold voice, unyielding and strange to Alessandra's ear.
Ang lakas ng tibok ng dibdib ng dalaga at tila ba lalabas na iyon sa kinalalagyan nito. Ang seryoso ng mukha ni Nick na halos nagpahina sa kanyang tuhod. "W-what?"
"I want out in this relationship!" Nick spat, emphasizing the word relationship.
"W-what are you talking about, Nick? O-Okay! That's not a good joke," sagot ni Alessandra upang pagaanin ang sitwasyon. Isang pilit na tawa ang kumawala sa kanyang bibig habang iniyayakap ang mga braso kay Nick.
"I don't want you in my life anymore, Alessandra! I got... bored," walang pakundangag pahayag

WHEN HER mother left them, she thought that she couldn’t continue moving forward. It was hard living each day knowing that the love of her life wasn’t there and wouldn’t come back though she needed her the most. She was at the point of giving up, but her siblings reminded her to keep moving forward and that she was not alone and she was not the only one in pain. They gave her the strength to wake up each day and motivated her to try the best that she could and keep on fighting no matter how tough life was. She thought that there was no greater pain than losing her mother to death. But here she was now, mourning for her lost love. Only this time, he was not taken from her because of death but of his own will. Perhaps he fell out of love, or he didn’t love her at all, to begin with.

MOVING ON was harder when you were still in the denial stage. When you learn to accept things the way they should be, it would be easier and less painful. She couldn’t say that she totally moved on, but she’s getting there. Kaunting-kaunti na lang ay mawawala na ang pagmamahal na mayroon siya para kay Nick, matitira na lang ang galit para rito. He was the reason why she almost lost her babies, she would never forgive him for that. “And here I thought I could cook today.” Mula sa niluluto ay binalingan ni Magenta si Ashton na hindi niya namalayang naroon na pala at nakasandal sa hamba ng kusina. “Good morning, malapit na ‘tong maluto. You can prepare the table if you want,” aniya pagkatapos ay binalikan ang ginagawa. Lumapit si Ashton sa kapatid at hinalikan ang ulo, kapagkuwan ay kumuha ng mga plato’t kutsara at inihanda ang lamesa kagaya ng sinabi ng dalaga. Pinatay ni Alessandra ang kalan at tinitigan ang kapatid. Araw-araw ay roon i

YEARS LATER"IT'LL be a big opportunity for us if we win this project, Ally.""But, there are five participants in this project. We might not win it, some of them came from bigger firms," she commented with a shrug."We will win this!" Ashton declared with confidence. He was always confident and optimistic and she admired that."By the way, where's your secretary? Bakit ako na naman ang hinila mo rito? May trabaho pa akong naiwan.""I fired her, Ally. She tried to flirt with me in any possible way, besides, I need you there. You could be an eye candy to please the clients," he answered while grinning playfully. "You might meet a man that you like, maybe some handsome businessman," Ashton teased."Or maybe some old fart," Alessandra, then rolled her eyes. "Anyways, Why? Don't you want that? I mean an instant fuck?" She winced at her choice of words.

"MOMMY, mommy, can we sleep beside you?" it was Niccola from outside with a high-pitched voice. She was about to sleep when the twins knocked at the door."Of course," nakangiting sagot ni Alessandra sa kambal nang mapagbuksan ang mga ito ng pinto. Patalon-talon na tinungo ng dalawa ang malaking kama.

Nanghihinang napasandal siya sa pinto pagkapasok sa loob ng banyo. Kumakabog ng malakas ang kanyang dibdib dahil sa kaba, kinakabahan siya sa hindi mawaring dahilan.Tiningnan ni Alessandra ang repleksiyon sa salamin. Hindi malaman ang dahilan kung bakit nagtagal siya kanina sa pag-aayos sa sarili at pagpili ng damit na isusuot.Maybe because you want to look beautiful in front of Nicholas Villarama? tudyo ng isang bahagi ng kanyang isipan.No! I just wanted to show him what he lost! And that I am not the old naïve Alessandra, she reasoned out.Inayos niya ang sarili at lumabas ng banyo kapagkuwan. Gulat ang lumarawan sa mukha ni Alessandra nang makita ang isang pamilyar na bulto na nakasandal sa dingding at tila ba may inaabangan. Bumuntung-hininga siya upang kalmahin ang sarili, hindi niya gustong mapahiya sa harapan ng isang Nicholas Villarama. Hindi na siya kagaya ng dati na gina

Nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata at tila siya binagsakan ng sangkaterbang bigat ng semento nang marinig ang tinig ng kanyang anak."Mommy, you're already here, we are waiting for you. Bakit ang tagal niyo po?" Niccola complained then pouted."Who is he, Mommy? Nasaan si Papa Ash? I want to play with him po," tanong naman ni Lucas ng masulyapan nito si Nick.Natulos sa kinatatayuan si Alessandra at naumid ang kanyang dila. This is not happening! Pinalangin niyang bumuka ang lupa at lamunin siya ng buong buo.Dahil hindi siya agad nakasagot ay nilapitan ng dalawang bata si Nick at kinilatis."Are you my Mommy's friend? Are you friend with my Papa Ash too?" tanong ni Niccola na nakataas ang kilay at nakahalukipkip habang hinahagod ng tingin si Nick.Tumalungko ang binata para makapantay ang mga bata.

BINIGYAN niya ng huling sulyap ang sarili sa salamin bago lumabas ng kanyang silid at bumaba. "Wow, ang ganda mo, Ate!" puri ni Adeline sa kanya sa nagniningning na mga mata. "Thank you." Ngunit pinutol ni Niccola ang kasiyahan ng magkapatid. "Mommy, you look so pale in red! And look at that dress, it's so maikli. You should change, or much better, do not come nalang kaya sa dinner date mo with your friend." "Niko, we've talked about this already. I'm just going to have dinner with a... friend." "But I didn't allow you to have dinner with him!" She blew a deep sigh. "Baby, you don't understand." "No! You don't understand me!" iyon lang at umiiyak na pumanhik ang bata sa apat na baitang na hagdan at pumasok sa silid nito. "Ako na, ate. Enjoy your date with Mark," agap ni Adeline nang akma niyang susundan ang anak. "Go."

MAGULO ang kanyang isipan habang nakaupo sa swing. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang uunahing isipin sa sitwasyon niya ngayon. Kinakain siya ng kanyang konsensiya, hindi lang dahil sa pagpapaiyak sa anak kung 'di dahil narin sa paglilihim niya tungkol sa ama ng mga ito. Hindi niya alam kung papaano itatama ang mga kasinungalingang tinahi niya. Hindi niya alam kung papaano sasabihin sa mga bata na hindi naman talaga umalis ang ama ng mga ito para magtrabaho. That their father abandoned them. Bakit nandoon si Nick at ginugulo ang pamilya niya? Dapat ay ituon nito ang pansin sa pamilya nito, sinisira siya ni Nick sa pinanggagawa nito.
