Chapter 46: The Chase 4
Maingat na isinara ni Samantha ang laptop niya, katatapos lang ng online meeting niya sa isang wedding client na naka-base sa Norway. It was past 8 in the evening at ngayon pa lang siya uuwi. It was a lunch meeting. Well, lunch para sa client nila pero dinner para sa kanilang dalawa ni Mandy.
Sila na lang ni Mandy ang naiwan sa opisina. Pinauwi na niya si Bettina dahil nag-aalala ito na baka mabulilyaso na naman ang bebe time nito kay Kristoff. Maging ang ibang tauhan niya pinauwi na rin niya dahil may event sila bukas sa Nasugbu at mamayang madaling-araw ang biyahe nila papunta roon. She wanted her employees to be well-rested for the long day tomorrow.
She checked her business phone, walang message o missed calls. She smiled, a satisfied one. It has been more than 24 hours now that she blocked Aaron’s number on her phone. And she must admit, she’s enjoying her peace.
“Mag-che-check lang ako kung naisara na lahat, Sam.

“Dad, ngayon lang ‘yon. Nakausap ko na si Capt. Javellana. He said he will look into it immediately. Who knows baka bukas, nakakulong na ulit si Robin," paliwanag ni Samantha sa Daddy niya.It was almost 11 in the evening and she had just came home. Ang akala niya, makakapahinga na siya agad pag-uwi niya sa bahay pero hindi pa pala. Wala naman siyang balak ilihim sa Daddy niya ang mga nangyari ngayong gabi. She just thought she can talk it to him when she and Charlie will visit him over the weekend. She’s sure, si Capt. Javellana ang nagbalita mismo sa Daddy niya ng mga pangyayari. She released a slow steady breath. And though it’s near impossible, she needed to talk to her father calmly. She doesn’t want him to panic or be under stress at this hour. It would defeat the purpose of them coming home.“But that’s the same guy who harassed you when you were pregnant! How the hell in the world did h

Samantha gave a satisfied smile as she watched the newly engaged couple in front of her dance inside the makeshift gazebo she and her team have made for tonight’s event. They placed it in the middle of what looked like an enchanted forest near the shore, with fireflies dancing around.It was magical.Sila ang mga clients niya sa isang resort sa Nasugbu na kinaroroonan nila ngayon. Both are doctors and college sweethearts. And she’s glad to be a part of their journey to the road of happy ever after.Happy every after.She smiled bitterly. She doesn’t believe in happy ever afters. With all the things she had been through, how could she? She got burned once, got pregnant unexpectedly and now a single mother to an adorable toddler. The world regarded people like her as a left-over—something that was thrown to the garbage by someone after use. At kahit na anong girlpower quotes pa ang mabasa at maibandera sa harap niya, th

Samantha was furious.Alas-dos na ng hapon subalit wala pa si Mandy. Malinaw ang usapan nila ng kaibigan: uuwi ito nang maaga ngayon kahit na nagpa-iwan ito sa Nasugbu kagabi.She trusted Mandy. At ngayon na hindi niya mahanap ni anino nito, naghahalo na ang galit at pag-aalala sa dibdib niya para sa kaibigan. Hindi rin niya ito makontak. Kaninang umaga pa nakapatay ang cellphone nito. She called the resort too to check on him, pero walang maibigay na eksaktong sagot ang mga ito. Hindi raw kasi nag-check in roon si Mandy ayon sa system ng resort.And now she’s here, pacing nervously back and forth inside her office.Where could Mandy be?Halos mapalundag pa siya nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone niya. When she looked at it, naka-flash sa screen and number ni Aaron. She tried to ignore it, ayaw niyang madagdagan ang pagte-tensiyon niya ngayon. Buong araw na siyang punumpuno ng tensiyon.Kaninang umaga lang,

“Grandpa!” Charlie screamed as soon as the chopper landed on the private beach house Samantha’s family owns.Unang bumaba ng chopper si Lucas, bago sila inalalayang mag-ina sa pagbaba. And as soon as Charlie’s feet landed on the white sand surrounding the area, nagtatakbo agad ito patungo sa lolo nito.Sinalubong naman ng Daddy niya ang apo nito, binuhat bago niyakap nang mahigpit. Charlie did the same thing. It was clear, na-miss ng mag-lolo ang isa’t-isa.“Hello, little princess,” narinig niyang bati ng Daddy niya kay Charlie.“Miss you too, Grandpa,” sabi ni Charlie, ibinuro pa ang ulo sa leeg ng Daddy niya.She doesn’t know why it feels like her daughter was seeking assurance, some sense of belongingness-- a complete home. Bagay na hindi niya alam kung kaya niyang ibigay.Her chest instantly got heavy. Is this still about them having the same surnames?

Parang nabingi si Samantha sa sinabi ng kapatid. For a while she was left too stunned to speak from her brother’s revelation.A wife! His brother had a wife. And not just some woman but her own employee Natalie!How in the world did that happen? She doesn’t have any idea. This is one of the most shocking surprise she’s ever had for a while. And she can’t wrap her head around it just yet.She had always thought that her brother’s life is perfect—failure proof. Why wouldn’t she? Lucas always knows what to do. He is a leader—an admirable one. He plans everything—from the time he wakes up in the morning up to the dinner he’d have for the dinner of next week. He lives and breathes with schedules. And for the last four years, she had never ever seen her brother miss any of his planned endeavors. Kapag naka-plano, ‘yon ang ginagawa nito.And she had always thought that living a

Sinipat ni Samantha ang sarili niya sa salamin. She was wearing a little black A-line dress she had brought from Dior. It has a sweetheart neckline and a hem that falls just a couple of inches above her knees. She looked... perfect. But perfect is far from what she feels right now.She turned to her bed and saw the pile of dresses she had tried on for the past hour. Halos okupahin na ng mga damit niya ang buong kama niya. At pakiramdam niya, she's still not wearing the right dress.Muli siyang napabuntong-hininga bago humarap ulit sa salamin.It's just a date. Just a date, sabi niya sa sarili.Yes, tonight is the date she had promised Aaron. At kahit na anong gawin niyang pagpapakalma sa sarili niya, hindi niya magawa. Every time she thinks that she'll be spending time with Aaron na sila lang dalawa, she's freaking out. Why wouldn't she? Bumabalik nang kusa sa isip niya ang mga alaa

“Where exactly are we going?” hindi na napigilang tanungin ni Samantha kay Aaron.They have been flying for a few minutes now and at sigurado siya na nasa labas na sila ng Maynila. Nang hayaan niya itong igiya siya patungo sa chopper kanina, halos wala siyang reklamo. Well, that’s basically because she was busy composing herself. She almost melted from the inside out when she saw how handsome Aaron looked tonight. A thing she had rehearsed herself not to do before she went to see him.At dahil sablay siya agad sa unang task na sinabi niya sa sariling h’wag gagawin, inokupa ng takot ang isip niya sa maaaring mangyari sa mga susunod na oras na kasama niya ito.At ngayon na bahagya na siyang kumalma, ngayon lang niya naisip tanungin kung saan siya nito dadalhin.Bumaling ito sa kanya, ngumiti. “To my family’s home in Tagaytay,” anito.She inwardly groaned. Mukhang sablay na rin ang 2 to 3 hours t

Hindi agad nakasagot si Samantha sa tanong ni Aaron. Panic was racing through her veins at kahit na anong gawin niya, hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mataranta.Bakit hindi? Iyon na ang ikalawang pagkakataon na tinanong iyon ni Aaron sa kanya. Kung bakit, hindi niya alam.Naaalala na ba nito ang gabing iyon? Imposible!He had lived for four damn years na halatang walang alam tungkol sa nangyari nang gabing iyon. At sigurado siya doon dahil hindi naman ito magtatanong sa kanya ngayon kung malinaw na nga sa memorya nito ang nangyari sa kanila sa penthouse nito apat na taon na ang nakararaan.He would have been sure. But him asking her all over again the same question she had already answered means that he’s still uncertain of his memories.Pinuno niya ng hangin ang dibdib at pinakalma ang sarili.She reached for her wine glass and took a swig of the wine in it to give her time to compose herself. When she had placed the w
