One Week Stand Chapter 33
Daisy needs to stay at the hospital because she still needs to be monitored. I heard there was a mild abruption and she needs to stay here for further monitoring. Ayoko ring umuwi so I stayed with Dom. She's already inside a private room kaya kami lang ang nandito. She's still sleeping and Dom is beside her, sitting on a chair na nasa tabi lang ng kama niya. While I sat on the small sofa at the corner.I feel like my entire body lost its energy after what happened earlier. So I just sat there with all these thoughts in my head. But a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. Dahan-dahang bumukas ang pinto until it fully revealed Zandrey in his white coat. Ngayon ko lang 'yon na-appreciate. Hindi ko kasi napansin kanina dahil sa panic.I've always pictured him in his white coat before and I was right when I thought that it would look good on him.It really look good on him.Agad na nag-angat ng tingin si Dom when he heard the door opened."Hey..." Zandrey mumbled to him. He then looke

Para akong nakakita ng multo. I froze on the spot while the two of them continued looking at me. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. But if there's something dominant with my feelings, that is confusion. Kasi bakit siya nandito? Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks with me?But why does she look exactly like my biological mother? Bakit nakikita ko ang pagkagulat sa mukha niya habang nakatingin sa akin?Why does the familiarity feel so strong?If this is indeed her, who did we bury years ago?I couldn't say a word, and so did they. Ramdam ko ang tensyon sa pagitan naming tatlo. I feel bad because it's supposed to be a happy day for my son and he's too young to understand things."Mommy, are you crying?" I heard Andrei ask. Karga-karga siya ni Zandrey habang pareho silang nakatingin sa akin. I didn't realize that tears were already falling down from my eyes. When Andrei pointed it out, I quickly wiped it with my hands. "Baby, Daddy's still at work and he's quite bus

I finally had the courage to contact Zandrey. I asked him if I could meet him... and her. Kaya ganito na lang ang kaba ko while I was going out of my car. He gave me the address to their home. He took a leave so he's there. He even volunteered to take me but I was firm in going there by myself. I saw Zandrey waiting for me by the gate. It was a two-storey house at malaki iyong lot. There's either a pool or a huge garage. That, I'm not sure yet. Zandrey gave me a tight-lipped smile when I was nearing him. "Hi," he greeted. "Hi," I replied. Kung may dominant man sa nararamdaman ko ngayon, kaba iyon. Halos hindi ako mapakali while I was on my way here. Buti na lang maayos pa rin akong nakapag-drive papunta didto. I'm gonna see her again. And even if I tried to prepare myself for that meeting, I still feel nervous. I'm scared of what I'm going to hear. I'm scared of what I might feel after hearing her explanation. "She's waiting for you," he said. Upon entering the gate, I saw the
One Week Stand Chapter 36
I feel like I was a walking zombie. Sobrang daming schedule ko the past days tapos ang dami pang nangyayari sa bahay. Everyone is restless. I don't even know how I managed to accomplish all my work. It has been almost a month since I heard my mother's explanation. Araw-araw ko pa rin iyong iniisip and as each day passes, I feel like the pain is also slowly subsiding... or maybe I'm just getting used to it. Halos isang buwan ko na ring hindi kinakausap si Zandrey. The coffee continued and he would often go to my office to visit but I never allowed him inside. Mas lalo lang magugulo ang isip ko kapag makikita ko siya. I need to reflect on everything and in order for me to be able to reflect well, I need not to see his face. Dad seems okay. Mas madali niyang natanggap iyong mga nangyari and maybe that has something to do with Mommy Miranda by her side. I wish I also have someone to be with in times like this. Pero wala si Daisy since she's still advised to have a bed-rest. And I can't
One Week Stand Chapter 37
I woke up with no Andrei beside me. When I looked around, wala na rin siya sa kwarto. It's officially his birthday and everybody in the house is so excited for it. Toy story is the theme of the party. Andrei specifically asked for it. He already knows what he wants and what he doesn't want, and just thinking about it kind of makes me well up with tears. He's really growing up. Gustuhin ko mang pigilan, but I know it's impossible. Gusto ko lang sana that he will remain this bubbly kid that he is. I wanted to protect him from this world's cruelty. Parang ayaw ko siyang lumaki at maranasan ang problema ng mga adult. I slowly stood up and went to the bathroom to clean myself up. Mamaya pa namang 3 pm iyong simula ng party kaya marami pa akong oras mag-prepare. I really took a leave from work para lang maka-attend. I also requested for Janine to close the shop para naman maka-attend din siya. Some of my staffs who are not busy are also invited. I also heard from Zandrey that he will ta

"Be good, okay?" I said to Andrei. Medyo may sakit ako at nasa duty si Zandrey kaya pinahatid ko muna siya sa driver. "Okay, Mommy," he replied. He hugged me before I closed the door sa backseat ng kotse. "Kuya, mag-ingat sa pag-drive ha?" Baling ko sa driver and he smiled at me and assured me nothing bad will happen. I remained standing near the gate as I watched the car run. Nang mawala na ito sa paningin ko ay pumasok na ako sa loob ng gate. "Okay ka lang, Nay?" I asked Nanay Gina. She looked so pale while running towards me. "Si Ma'am Miranda po iyak nang iyak. Masakit daw po ang tiyan niya," she said. "What?" "Nasa kwarto po siya," she grumbled. Nagmadali akong umakyat sa taas at pumunta sa kwarto. Doon ay naabutan ko si Mommy Miranda na nakaupo na sa sahig. "What happened?" I questioned. Lumapit ako kay Mommy at nakita ko kung gaano siya namimilipit sa sakit. "Dalhin na natin siya sa ospital," Nanay Gina said. Naramdaman ko ang panginginig ng buong katawan ko. I never
One Week Stand Chapter 39
I still feel so sick. Ramdam ng katawan ko iyong pagod at sakit pero parang wala lang ‘yon sa akin. A lot has happened. Sunod-sunod ang lahat at hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin. Para bang naging isang bagsakan ang lahat. Sobrang bigat. Sobrang hirap. Kinabukasan, when I got to the hospital, naabutan ko si Dad na natutulog habang nakaupo. "Dad.." He woke up and looked up to me and flashed his sad smile. "Umuwi ka siguro muna sa bahay, Dad. Mukhang ikaw naman ang kailangang magpahinga," I said but he shook his head. Alam kong ayaw niyang umalis sa tabi ni Mommy Miranda. Kahit ako ay ayaw kong iwan siya kahit sandali kasi natatakot ako sa pwedeng mangyari. Pero hindi pwedeng hindi siya magpahinga. Ayokong pati siya ay magkasakit. "Dad, ayaw ni Mommy na pinapagod mo ang sarili mo. Susunod si Nanay Gina dito kaya wala ka nang dapat ipag-alala," I added. It took me a lot of convincing bago siya napapayag na umuwi para magpahinga. Kita ko iyong pagod sa mukha niya but he said he’ll j
One Week Stand Chapter 40
I tried to calm myself first bago bumalik sa kwarto ni Mommy Miranda. Even if I already feel so tired, hindi ko kayang ipakita iyon sa kanya. I don’t want her to worry about us. It should be us worrying about her. Wala siyang dapat na iba pang isipin kung ‘di ang magpagaling. Because we can’t afford to lose her.Pagkapasok ko ay nadatnan kong gising si Mommy Miranda na gising na and so I smiled at her. She’s still lying on the bed.I really wish I could do something for her."How are you feeling po?" I asked saka dahan-dahang naupo sa upuan sa tabi ng hospital bed.She smiled at me. But there was something different in her smile."You should give Emily another chance," she said. She's in pain but she still thinks of other people. Hindi ko alam kung paano niya nagagawa 'yon."We already talked," I replied. She nodded with a smile on her face. Nakangiti siya, but seeing that smile is hurting me. Hindi ko mapigilang maluha nang makita iyong ngiti niyang 'yon.She made my life bearable th
