Ysabelle’s POV

The sound of the alarm awakens me. Nakalimutan ko palang i-off iyon, tutal wala naman kami ibang appointments na gagawin dito sa Greece. We extended our stay here for a…honeymoon. Okay na rin iyon, makakapag-unwind na rin sa wakas.

Napansin kong wala na sa aking tabi si Aldrich but I was too lazy yet to stand up and go outside for a walk. Although I used to travel a lot, may times din na nawawalan ako ng social battery and mood of roaming around kaya nasa loob lang ako ng silid at manood ng kahit anong movies ngunit ngayong nasa working era ko na, palagi na akong nakatutok sa aking e-mail upang i-check ang mga messages dito and such important matters to focus. Iba talaga pag adulting.

Suddenly, my phone started to ring. I checked on it and saw that it’s a call from my mom.

“Happy birthday, hija,” was the first thing she said this morning. I didn’t respond and I checked the date today on the calendar, only on my laptop.

Oh, February 2nd. I totally forgot.

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 22

    Ysabelle’s POVTahimik na ang lahat at ang tanging naririnig namin ay ang bugso ng ulan na malakas itong bumabagsak sa lupa, sabayan pa ito ng malamig na hangin ngunit hindi ako nagpatinag diyan, naka-aircon pa rin ako kahit papaano. Alas onse na ng gabi, tingin ko tulog na sa sala si Aldrich. Ganoon pa rin setup namin, nasa labas pa rin siya natutulog, ako lang yung nandito sa kwarto. We called our night actually at 10:30 pero hanggang ngayon, gising na gising pa rin ako, hindi makatulog at hindi rin nararamdaman iyong antok. Kahit anong pampaantok ang ginawa ko, dilat na dilat pa rin ang mga mata ko. Kulang na lang bilangin ko bawat karayom ng aking buhok eh. Palipat-lipat na ako ng kahit anong posisyon ngunit lumalaban pa rin ang lakas ng aking enerhiya ngunit half of me, nais ko nang magpahinga. Then a thunder came.It roared so loud that it was even impossible for me to fall asleep. Nabalutan na ako ng takot, naririnig ko ang malakas na tibok ng aking puso. I do not like any

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 21

    Ysabelle’s POVWe rushed inside the office as we were curious to know kung anong klaseng important matter ba ito. Si mommy naman kasi pa-suspense minsan. “Wait up, ang bilis mo naman masyado,” sambit naman ni Aldrich na nasa likod ko while I was walking in a fast pace. I sighed, showing that I’m being serious this time habang nilingon ko siya. “Importante kasi eh.”“How important is that pala?”“I do not know?” Tumahimik na lang siya pagkatapos at nakarating na kami sa opisina ni daddy. “Mommy?” pagtatawag ko kay mommy na kausap ni daddy. Lumingon naman ito sa amin. “Oh, nandito na pala kayo. Saan ba kayo galing?”Aldrich spoke confidently, “Starbucks po, tita.”“Ahh,” she said with relief while nodding and spoke once more, “mukhang madalas na kayong magkasama ah. Nagseselos na ako.” At nag-pout pa nga! Crush niya siguro si Aldrich. “Naku, my. Sayong-sayo na siya. Nilibre lang naman ako nito.” Tiningnan ko si Aldrich nang nakakaloko.Hirit naman ni mommy, “sana all. Palibre nama

    Ysabelle’s POV “First of all, congratulations for a successful business trip. I’m very impressed with this collaboration. You really deserve a reward later,” sambit ni dad na nasa harapan namin and our conference meeting is ongoing. Maraming agendas iyong kailangan naming pag-usapan including here the implementation of our business joint since my dad wants us to take charge of this matter. “Tulong-tulong tayo dito and since maaasahan ko na kayo for the betterment of this promo. I believe you guys can do this.” Syempre hindi pa rin maiiwasang kabahan sa bagong responsibilidad na ito. As a perfectionist, I’m praying that I will not mess up as a first timer in this job. Tanggap ko naman na okay lang magkamali lalo na kung baguhan ka palang ngunit nakaka-down ng self-confidence. My anxiety is acting up at this point ngunit hindi ko iyon ipinakita sa mga taong narito sa loob ng silid, even Aldrich. I pretend to make it cool as if purely excited ako sa panibago kong journey ngunit maram

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 19

    Ysabelle’s POVMaganda ang simula ngayong araw na ito. Tila umaayon sa akin ang mayuming sikat ng araw at kagandahan ng langit na para bang sinasabi nilang deserve ko ng mabuting buhay sa araw-araw. Gusto kong pasalamatan ang Panginoon for giving me another year to live and the life that I truly deserve. Today is our schedule for flying back in the Philippines since tapos na iyong tungkulin namin for the business trip. As much as I want to take a rest at home, mami-miss ko ito, the places that we have visited while having appointments. I know it was chaotic dahil may ka-bangayan ako ngunit regardless of that, may natutunan naman ako when it comes to business. Not only that, kahit papaano natutunan ko rin iyong mga history, culture and practices of such countries that we have visited and I must say that having those aspects is beauty especially if we preserve and give importance to it. “Wala ka bang nakalimutan?” Aldrich asked while he’s going to sit beside me. I just shook my head a

  • Romance Under Contract   Chapter 17

    Ysabelle’s POVNang bumuti na ang kalagayan ni Aldrich ay itinuloy na namin ang appointment. We were done doing a photo opportunity after a long talk with the negotiators. For the record, oo, bati na kami pero hindi ibig sabihing hindi magwawakas ang banatan namin dito. Branding na namin kasi ito. “Oh, huwag kang mag-bi-bring home diyan.” Kumukuha na kasi kami ng pagkain na nakalagay sa tapat ng mesa nang binara ako ni Aldrich. Inirapan ko siya, siguro napansin niyang marami iyong napulot kong pagkain. Wala siyang pakialam, puro mga paborito ko ito. “Duh, may hiya pa rin naman ako kahit papaano, hindi tulad sa iyo,” bulong ko naman sa kanya bago kumain. Tumawa lang siya, nais niya siguro akong asarin ngunit this time, sanay na ako sa kalokohan niya. Sa kalagitnaan ng hapag-kainan ay napansin ko na iyong katapat ko ay parang sinasadyang tamaan ang aking paa sa pamamagitan ng bahagyang pagtadyak nito. Dahil sa madalas na niyang gawain ito ay umangat na ako at nakita ko siyang nakangi
