Naalimpungatan ako nang maramdamang wala si Philos sa aking tabi. It's unusual for him to wake up this early. I got used to waking up with his handsome face greeting me in the morning. I gathered the blanket up to my chest to cover my bare body.
Hinawakan ni Philos ang kamay ko at hinalikan ito nang huminto kami sa harapan ng gate ng tahanan nila. I can't even call it a simple house. It was a mansion. You can see the grandeur of it from outside. "Don't be scared, Leigh. I'm here." Muli niyang hinalikan ang kamay ko.
I was awakened with the smell of food coming from the kitchen. I rubbed my tummy, a baby bump is showing. I'm already four months pregnant with our children.
I wonder if I didn't dismiss Philos that time, will we come back to the way we used to be? It's been two years since I left him, since that fateful day. It's been two years since we both lost a vital part of each other's lives and it's been two years since I last saw and heard from him. Have he forgotten about me? Have he forgotten about our angels? He never called, he never came back to our home. I came back a year ago and saw that the house I left remained untouched. His clothes were still in our closet. Did he really left when I told him to leave? I wonder where he was right now. When will we see each other again?
I groaned when my head felt like splitting with hang over. I can't even count how many shots I've drunk but all I can remember was when I danced after drinking alcohol. I should take note that I'm not a good drinker nor a good dancer. When I tried to get up, I pinched my nose bridge and groaned. "Curse you, Aloysius!" I angrily said. I will not drink any beverages Alois will give me in the future. I tried to remember when did I got home and who brought me here. I can remember my conversation with Alois that if ever I can't drive, he would drive me back home.
"How's the night with Kalisto?" Halos mapa-face palm ako nang 'yan ang bungad sa akin ni Tanya nang tawagan niya ako. Kahit kailan ay malakas ang radar ng babaeng ito lalo kung tsismis tungkol sa akin at sa lovelife ko.
"Hmm."Nanatili akong nakahalukipkip at nakatingin kay Tanya habang tinitingnan niya ang mga litrato. Hindi na mapigilan ang umangat ng isang kilay ko habang tinitingnan ang buntis kong kaibigan na titigan ang mga litrato habang hinihimas niya ang kaniyang tiyan.
Nezha Marleigh Sanchez"Quinton. Pete Quinton Ortega Ignacio."At that moment, I felt like my whole world collapsed. Pakiramdam ko ay lahat ng pangarap ko na nabuo kasama si Philos ay naglaho. Agad akong napabitaw sa bata na nilalaro ko na tila ba nakuryente. I stared at the woman in front of me in disbelief. "Who is the father of this child?" I asked her. It's her turn to stare at me. I don't know if it was wonder, disbelief or sorry I was seeing in her eyes but I don't like it. Hindi siya sumagot at niyakap lamang ang batang nasa braso niya."Who's the father?" I repeated my question. I tried to remain calm as much as possible, I don't want to make a scene, not inside my boutique.No one knows about my past other than my family, friends, and Philos' family. None of my assistant and staffs at my studio didn't dare ask about my personal life, especially my lovelife. I don't want them to know that I o
Nezha Marleigh SanchezI heard heels clicking on the floor board inside my office. I continued to work on my new design in my studio but when the clicking stopped, a hand slammed on my table. "Nezha Marleigh Sanchez!" Matinis na boses ni Hansel ang dumagundong sa studio ko na maging ang mga staff ko ay napapitlag. Hindi ako nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya at patuloy lamang sa ginagawa ko."Oh, you're back, fine and still walking." I heard her exasperated sigh. She's so done with me and my snark remarks."Ano itong nalaman ko na bumalik ka na naman sa pagiging workaholic mo? Tanya told me you are not answering her calls and you did not even go home for almost a week!" Ibinaba ko ang mga pangkulay na gamit ko at nagpangalumbaba sa harapan niya. I scanned her body and smirked. Muli na naman niyang kinalabog ang lamesa. "Nezha! Anong nginingisi-ngisi mo riyan?" I just shrugged at her and picked my color pencils and continued t
