22. The right to intrude.
Hannah's been unleashing someone that wasn't really her. She hated doing it but she had to. For the sake of one family that she had unintentionally kept apart.
Just now, Elisha's been crying for the nth time this week dahil lagi niya itong pinapagalitan. Kaunting bagay na hindi naman nito kasalanan ay nagagalit siya. Hindi nga lang niya ito sinasaktan physically. Hindi na niya magagawa iyon sa anak niya na hindi naman dapat paluin. Eli was a good girl. Hannah's proud to have raised her like that.Pero kailangang lumayo ang loob nito sa kanya. That's what she'd been trying to do. Pero si Elisha nagmamakaawa sa kahihingi ng sorry sa kanya. Hindi ito nagagalit. Kaya mas nahihirapan siya. She wanted so badly to pacify her but she needed to be hard on her."Mommy... Sorry! Mommy!" Yumakap ito sa binti niya. "I'm not going to play dolls again if you don't want, mommy," mga manyika kasi ni Eli ang napagdiskitahan niya kanina. Wala lang. 'Di naman nakakalat. Gu

Mula sa bintana ng silid ni Hannah, kita niya sina Olive, Nate at Elisha na nagbe-breakfast. She was supposed to be there dahil request ni Eli iyon. Sa katunayan ay ilang beses itong bumalik sa kwarto niya but she pretended to be sick. Unti-unti nang nabubuo ang pamilya ng mga ito. Pero mas mabilis niyang nararamdaman na hindi na siya kailangan doon. Nanghihinang bumalik siya sa kama niya. Kakapanggap niyang may sakit siya, parang nagkakatotoo na yata. Ang bigat ng mga talukap niya at nananakit ang kanyang mga mata sa kakaiyak. She could even feel her head aching like hell. Parang kasing sakit ng sugat na palalim nang palalim sa puso niya. Hannah found herself sleeping again. Iyon lang yata ang gusto niyang gawin. Forget about eating and everything else. Atleast, habang tulog siya, nakakapagpahinga siya mula sa mga problema niya. It's like a temporary escape where she needed not to face Olive, hurt Eli and pretend that she's not in l

'Good morning folks... I know we have the same question in mind as Nate Sarmiento, Olive and their cute daughter Elisha were spotted together in an adorable family moment in Bali, Indonesia... Are we hearing wedding bells soon? This family had truly touched the lives of many. They struggled to be together but hey, in the end, evil did not prevail...' Tumaas ang sulok ng bibig ni Hannah as she watched the news. Evil talaga? "Hoy!" Binatukan siya ni Leah. "Aray!" reklamo niyang binalingan ang kaibigang kakapanganak lang. "Ano bang problema mo? Bigla bigla ka na lang nananakit?!" "Nanonood ka na naman niyan!" Inagaw nito sa kanya ang remote at pinatay ang TV. "It's not like alam kong ibabalita 'yon. I'm watching the news. Not them," kaila niya. "Who are you kidding? You saw it on the headlines. But instead of turning the TV off, hinintay mo talaga ang balita sa mga Sarmiento." "Of course not. You're too as

Hindi nakatulog si Hannah. Kaya kinabukasan, dinaig pa niya ang puyat na panda sa kaitiman ng palibot ng mga mata niya. Paano, bukod sa hindi na nga siya nakatulog, sinabayan pa niya ng iyak. "Hannah, napa'no ka?" Syempre napansin ng co-worker niyang si Mia ang itsura niya. "Puyat," simple niyang tugon. "Oh siya. Puyat na kung puyat. Kanina ka pa hinihintay ni boss." "'Andyan na siya?" Sinipat niya ng tingin ang suot na wristwatch. Maaga pa siya ng thirty minutes. "Oo. Ang aga nga eh. Pinapahanda niya ang conference room. Meeting daw tayo lahat." "Talaga?" Bihirang mangyari na iipunin silang lahat para kausapin. Kaya sigurado si Hannah na importante ang meeting na iyon. She proceeded to her boss' office. Tatlong marahan at kalkuladong katok ang ginawa niya bago niya narinig ang boses nito na nagbibigay ng permisong pumasok siya. Nadatnan niya ang boss na seryosong nakatanaw sa glasswall ng opis

"He's at the hotel." "What?!" bulalas ni Hannah. "Kakagaling ko lang doon, Paul and his assistant said na wala siya." Kausap niya sa phone si Paul. Syempre hindi naman siya didiretso sa bahay ni Nate. For all she knew, baka banned siyang pumasok ng subdivision. "Baka sa kabila." "Saang kabila?" Frustrated niyang tanong. "Andaming NS Hotel. Which one? Please, I only have a couple of hours left and then my landlord will throw all my belongings if I am not back to get them." "Hannah, I'm sorry. I don't know. I'm going to fetch Elisha now." "Can you help me figure out?" she begged. "Please, I've nowhere to go. I need him to tell my landlord to give me more time." "You have his number, Hannah. Why don't you call him?" "I- I don't have it." Binura niya iyon para hindi siya matukso noon na tawagan ito. "I deleted his number," amin niya. "Geez, Hannah, you're so complicated. I'll forward it to you. Cal

"Nate," Hannah didn't know where she got her courage kaya nakatayo siya ngayon sa harapan nang malamig ang tingin na si Nate. It was barely twenty minutes after that mind boggling kiss and yet it was as if she was with a totally different version of Nate Sarmiento. Making her wonder if the kiss really happened or not. Wala siya sa suite ng NS kanina but in the very penthouse where the GM holds office. Ang ginawa lang niya ay lumabas ng silid tapos pumunta sa opisina nito kahit walang permiso. "I- I don't know what you're up to, but I just want to beg you- na 'wag ng idamay ang mga kasamahan ko sa trabaho. I- I'll leave the company if that's what you want... Wala na rin ako sa apartment, I'm sure na-report na sa 'yo ng mga tao mo–" she paused dahil nakita niyang naningkit ang mga mata nito. "It's alright. I understand. I already found a place to stay- ahm so you can have your apartment." "What are you talking about?" he asked. "The ap

"Ms. Rodriguez, in my office now. Bring my coffee," Nate said via intercom. Tinanguan siya ni Sarah and Hannah obeyed as she was told. Since their workstation was one floor down from the GM's, hindi nila nakikita ang pagdating nito as he was using the elevator directly to his floor. Nate would usually announce his arrival by asking for his coffee. Umakyat si Hannah sa penthouse dala ang kape nito gamit ang hagdan na nag-uugnay sa dalawang palapag. Sliding the keycard, Hannah realized her hands were shaking and keeping the coffee still was a struggle. Nininerbiyos siyang makaharap ulit si Nate. It took her a lot of effort to make herself appear relaxed when she knocked on the smoked glass door of his office. "Come in," he said and Hannah wanted to slap her face for shaking even more at the mere sound of his voice. "G-good morning, Sir," she greeted when he came into view. And she almost gasped. Ang gwapo ni Nate k

"The GM is too early today. He's looking for you. Bakit wala ka pa raw, eh d'yan ka lang sa baba nakatira," natatawang salubong ni Sarah kay Hannah kinabukasan. "He's here already?" Hindi siya makapaniwala gayong isang oras pa siyang mas maaga sa official time niya. "Yup. At mukhang bad mood. What did you do to him yesterday huh? Hindi na kayo bumalik pareho." "We went to your sister's house," she told her. "I know. Naikwento na sa akin ni ate. Geez, that boy. I don't know why he's not declaring his love to you yet. Such a torpe. Tsk!" "Sarah, maybe there's really nothing to confess," she proceeded to make Nate's coffee habang nakasunod pa rin ang kausap sa likod niya. "Besides, I'm not his type." "And what do you know about his type?" "Come on, the likes of Olive of course. Matangkad, maputi, sexy, maganda at–" "Manloloko?" Putol nitong iniikot ang mga mata. "They love each other." "

Body Heat. Hannah couldn't believe she was considering it. Nate had eaten, nakainom na rin ng gamot and back to his sleep. Pero nagising ito at nagchi-chill nang sobra. Pinatay na ng dalaga ang aircon. Dinagdagan na rin niya ang kumot nito. Sinuotan na rin niya ng medyas. But none of them seemed to work. At ang tabihan ito at yakapin nalang ang huling paraan na naiisip niya. She would often do it with Elisha before. But that was Elisha, anak niya. Not the grown up super duper attractive man she's in love with. Una, humiga siya sa tabi nito pero hindi siya umilalim sa kumot. For a while it worked bago mas lalo lang itong nagchill. So okay, she decided to give him body heat. She slowly slid herself in his blanket at niyakap ito. Inisip na lang niya 'yong pagkakataon noon na pinatulog siya nito sa mga bisig nito when she was mourning for the loss of her father. Nate didn't leave her then and even made a way to bring back the smile on her face by
