IUpon sensing that Atty. Ninia did not deny his kiss, Atty. Wilgreg deepened it and caressed her back.Atty. Ninia has been betrayed for the second time by her lips, when instead of refusing Atty. Wilgreg’s kisses, it even accordingly responded.As they finished their kissing, they were both catching their breaths, and then silence overwhelmed them.It was Atty. Wilgreg, who broke the silence between them. “Ninia, are you mad at me because of what I did?”Ninia shook her head. “No. I just don’t know what to say after.” She looked away from Wilgreg and stared in front of their parked car.“Hmm, let’s go?” Atty. Wilgreg is smiling from ear to ear. He wanted to jump, it is as if he tops the BAR exam again.Ninia on one hand felt so ashamed. With her age and professional status, she never had any relationship before and everything that Atty. Wilgreg is letting her feel now is all new to her.Ninia nodded not bothering to look at the man beside her. Wilgreg is still smiling.Atty. Wilgreg
IAtty. Wilgreg did not waste any time. He hugged her tightly and deepened the kiss that Atty. Ninia started. They savored the ecstatic feeling of having that kiss as a seal to their newly founded relationship. As they parted, Atty. Wilgreg’s eyes were sparkling with happiness.“Thank you for that. I won’t promise anything, Babe, but I will try to be your good boyfriend.” He said seriously while looking at her.Atty. Ninia just smiled and nodded. “That would be enough. Now, Babe, can I get out of your car already?”“Yes Babe, you can; but don’t you want to invite me for a cup of coffee inside your apartment?” He smiled, trying to captivate her to say yes.But Atty. Ninia shook her head. “Nope, it is late already. I will invite you next time. You go home now and be careful in driving okay?” She tickled the tip of his nose.He made a sad expression as if he lost a game. He opened the car’s door beside him and as he usually does, opened the passenger door and assisted Atty. Ninia to get
IThe next day, Atty. Wilgreg Monaro and Atty. Ninia Salamera became the highlight on different Social Media Platforms. They were also included in the morning news report on one TV station.The caption of the news was “Two BAR Topnotchers; in love with Each Other” and then posted below the said captions are pictures of Atty. Wilgreg and Atty. Ninia kissing each other in front of the apartment of the latter.When Atty. Ninia entered the Lincuja Building, she noticed every staff around watching her, some even smiled at her and a few women, if she could not be wrong, gave her some sullen glances while others giggled.“What’s going on today?” Atty. Ninia whispered while walking continuously going to her office.When she passed by the table of Mildred, her secretary, the woman was smiling wide and was even giggling.“Mildred, please come to my office,” she told her before finally entering her office room.Mildred immediately followed her boss. Her smile painted on her whole face as she ent
I“Babe, don’t tease me now. I am not fine, to be honest.” Atty. Ninia said upon hearing Atty. Wilgreg mentioning about marriage over the phone.“Hey, sorry Babe, I just wanted to lighten up your mood. But I was serious with what I said 'though. I am so willing to marry you. Anyway, I will be calling my friend at the NBI department to check on this matter. Don’t worry okay.” His voice was reassuring. He does not want her to worry, and most of all he does not want her to think of him having a connection to whoever published their photos.“But our pictures are already scattered everywhere online now. How could it be removed?” Atty. Ninia said with exasperation.“Would you really want to remove them, Babe? There is nothing to be ashamed of in those pictures. Anyone who will ask me now, I will be answering them frankly that the woman I kissed as seen in those pictures is the first woman who truly captured my heart. Actually, Babe, I am planning to contact the reporter who wrote the news a
ISoekarno Hatta International Airport, Tanggerang, Indonesia.Atty. Lulu hurried to catch her flight going to the Philippines. She only has one hour before her flight. As she boarded the plane, she was able to relax. She closed her eyes and felt the excitement she has, to see Wilgreg Monaro again.After a while, the pilot already announced that their plane is about to take-off already. Atty. Lulu closed her eyes again as she wanted to sleep. She has had no proper sleep since yesterday when she saw the interview of Atty. Wilgreg. She did not notice the man beside her.The man was smiling as he looked at Atty. Lulu. He is half-Polish, half-Indonesian. He looked at her again and then also closed his eyes and slept. He thought of talking to his seatmate later.Atty. Lulu has been awakened when the pilot announced that they are already nearing the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, Philippines. She scrambled to her feet and opened her bag to get her blush on. She could feel how
IAtty. Lulu could not take it anymore. She dialed again Atty. Wilgreg’s mobile number, which she did while on her way going here at the Lincuja’s Shipping Company. Unfortunately, just like a while ago, her calls were put to futility. Atty. Wilgreg did not answer any.Extending more of her patience, Atty. Lulu stayed and waited for Atty. Wilgreg to come out while sitting on the couch in the reception area.The receptionist would glance at her from time to time.At around five o’clock in the afternoon, Atty. Lulu was still sitting on the couch, replying to some e-mails through her apple mobile phone when Atty. Ninia suddenly entered the reception area of the Lincuja Shipping Corporation. She is with an old man in an expensive executive suit with an attaché case in his right hand. He looks like a lawyer or a businessman.Atty. Lulu’s face reddened as she saw Atty. Ninia, looking at her with a creased forehead.“Atty. Lulu, you are waiting for Atty. Wilgreg?” Atty. Ninia asked while glan
I The moment Atty. Wilgreg saw Atty. Ninia, he immediately stood up and greeted her with a light kiss on her right cheek. "Hey, Sweetheart," he greeted her in a murmuring way. “Atty. Ferrer, good afternoon; thank you for coming even if my call was of urgent nature.” Atty. Wilgreg said while handshaking with Atty. Ferrer. When they were all seated already, Atty. Ninia informed Atty. Wilgreg about Atty. Lulu. "Wil, Atty. Lulu, is outside waiting for you." “What? When did she arrive?” He asked with a surprised expression. Atty. Ninia looked at him with a puzzled look. “I don’t know. I thought you had a communication already. Anyway, would you want to see her first and greet her outside before we start our meeting?” “Nope, let us start. She can actually wait. This matter is urgent.” Atty. Wilgreg said while opening a brown envelope on the table, in front of him. Atty. Ninia nodded and smiled at him. “Atty. Ferrer, here are some pictures based on the CCTV footage of one of the casino
I The group ended up in an Italian fine dining Restaurant in Manila part. Atty. Lulu automatically took the seat beside Atty. Wilgreg. Fortunately, the table is a round one, so the other side of Atty. Wilgreg is still free, which he offered with a smile to Atty. Ninia. It was quite awkward and Atty. Ferrer could feel it, thus he tried to start some conversation until the atmosphere slowly became clear. “Ahh, Lulu, where did you check in?” Atty. Wilgreg asked suddenly. “At the Manila Hotel Wil,” she replied while giving him a quick glance and a sweet smile. Atty. Wilgreg nodded and replied, “I see. It is just nearby here. Good thing we chose this restaurant.” Atty. Lulu, nodded. “Yeah, I was actually happy; I will not be driving far,” she chuckled. The dinner went well; thanks to Atty. Ferrer, who became the ice breaker almost throughout the dinner. Whenever there is awkwardness between Atty. Lulu, Atty. Wilgreg and Atty. Ninia, suddenly Atty. Ferrer would crack a joke. It will
