The two were enjoying their small talk and chit-chat ng biglang may humawak sa magkabila nilang braso at niyakap sila ng mahigpit.Bernadette looked at the perpetrator and his eyes almost rolled back ng makita nya kung sino ito. "Ang dakilang paminta." Pabulong nyang biro sa kapatid. Oh gone were the days na naka-makeup na makapal ang kanyang bunsong kapatid. Kung dati ay hindi ito mapakali ng walang abubot sa mukha, ngayon naman ay tila pulbos na lang ang ginagamit nito. Nilanghap ni Vincent ang simuy na nag-mula sa Caldereta. "Smells good." Kumuha sya ng kutsara mula sa cutlery storage at tinikman ang luto ng kapatid. Agad naman nyang binigay ang kanyang 'seal of approval' ng malasahan nya ito. "This is good. Magugustuhan nila ito."Though everyone inside the house was quiet and focused on their own task, hindi nila mapagkakait ang nerbyos na nararamdaman. Lalo na si Vincent na kanina pa aligaga.Nabigyang pansin naman agad ito ng kanyang ina kaya hinawakan na lamang nya ang braso

Tension was evident inside the Visencio household. One by one and two by two dumating ang kanilang bisita--- the Saturos family as well as a few Quizons', Karinna's step sisters.Half of the table is occupied by Vincent's siblings and nephews. Habang sa kabilang table ay si Modesto at Ezperanza. At ang naipit sa tatlong pamilya na ito? Walang iba kung hindi si Vincent at si Karinna. Cutleries hitting the porcelain plate was the only sound audible in the room. No one talked after their formal greeting and the announcement na maninirahan na si Karinna at Vincent sa America.The Visencio family knows about this. But on Karinna's side of the family, it's a different story.Most of them were shocked, asking why was it so sudden. Pero pagkatapos sagutin ni Vincent at Karinna ang mga katanungan nila, unti-unti na nila itong naintindihan.Hangga't nandito sila, there will always be this underlying need to pretend.Lalo na't nasa mundo sina ng glitters, beauties and everything glamorous. Hangg

Hindi manhid si Karinna kaya agad nyang naramdaman na nakatingin sa kanya ang lahat ng tao sa sasakyan pwera lang dun sa driver. Pati si Zia na kanina ay nananahimik at nakikinig lang ng Music ay napatingin na rin sa kanya. They're all waiting for her response and the only thing she ended up doing is look down on her lap.Lalo syang nakaramdam ng hiya ng tanungin sya ni Nanay Rosario. "Anak, May dalaw ka pa ba?"Vincent opened his mouth and was about to answer nanay Rosa's question ng busalan ni Karinna ng panyo ang bibig nito."Opo." Mahinang sagot ng dalaga. "Meron pa po.""Good!" Sheer happiness was evident in her voice. "Magkakaroon pa pala ako ng apo sa inyo."......................They've arrived at the airport twelve minutes before their flight. Hindi na nagtagal pa ang pamamaalam nila kina Bernadette at Zia dahil baka maiwanan na rin sila ng Flight.With a last kiss on the cheek, bumitaw na si Zia mula sa mahigpit nyang pagkaka-yakap sa kanyang ate. "You

When you're standing on the stage in front of thousands of people cheering and rooting for you, you'll no longer notice the presence of those who despise your existence. "Oh, ano na Karinna! Cheer up naman, sis! Tingnan mo ikaw, you always tell everyone to be positive, yet here you are... Melodramatic and melancholic as ever." Adda continued with her never ending rant habang naglalakad sila papasok ng stage, along with them are Velle, Billy, Christine, John and Theodore, Kimberly, Rizza and of course... Vince. Karinna sighed and leaned her to the side, it's been a long battle for her. Those two long years of going in and out of those therapy sessions had been hard. Lalo lang syang nahihirapan because her husband hasn't been cooperating. Ang hirap na, nakakapagod. "Adda, please naman. You know that mornings have been awful for me. Lalo na at nakikita ko si..." "Of course magiging miserable ang buhay mo! Bakit mo pa kasi pinagpipilitan na ayusin yang Marriage na yan! You should've ju

Karinna watched in horror as nurses pace back and forth inside the intensive care unit. It's been four hours since the operation. The bullet had been successfully removed, but the damage had been underestimated. They didn't expect this kind of hemorrhage. Hindi na niya bilang kung ilang nurse ang naglabas pasok sa Room at tuwing may naririnig siyang sigaw na CODE BLUE ay para siyang mamamatay sa sobrang sakit na dulot ng matinding kirot sa dibdib nya. She remained quiet, faint sobs and shaking hands from fear and guilt. Dapat ako yun. Dapat ako. Dapat ako! Patuloy niyang sinisigaw sa sarili. "Karinna." Nanginginig ang boses ni Adda nung tinawag niya ang kanyang kaibigan. "I called his family. They booked tickets and said they're coming as soon as they can. Lovelia and the other naman are doing their best to help the detectives Para umpisahan na ang Investigation." Tumango lang si Karinna at napatingin sa damit nyang punong puno ng dugo. Vince's blood. "Hindi to totoo." She whispered

A few minutes had passed and Angela finally received a text na nasa Building na ng St. Luke's si Karinna, buong akala nya eh magkasama ang dalawa ni Adda. Which is why panic instantly overcame her when she noticed that the lady in front of her was standing alone. Without a doubt in her mind she knows that if Emmanuel and Karinna end up meeting each other, it would end as dirty and as messy as it did before.Nagmadaling bumaba at tumakbo papalabas ng elevator ang dalaga. Laking pasasalamat nya naman sa Diyos ng maabutan nya na nakatayo at naghihintay si Karinna sa information Center ng hospital.As expected maraming paparazzi ang nakatayo at naghihintay sa labas ng Hospital. This is one of the things na iniiwasan ng Visencio family, na hanggang sa huling hininga ni Vince eh ginagawa pa rin siyang laman ng dyaryo at hanggang ngayon pinag-pipyestahan ng tao.Angela mustered the last courage that she had and approached the latter. "Ms. Karinna, pwede po bang hintayin nyo muna si Miss Adda

There was something odd that morning. The sun was strong against his eyes and the different colors inside the room proved to be too much. He closed his eyes momentarily, he shaked his head lightly all the while trying his best to keep his thoughts straight. Napakapit sya ng mahigpit sa armrest ng wheelchair, nadala ng takot dahil baka mahulog sya dito. Bakit sya nakasakay sa wheelchair? Anong nangyari? Nahimatay nanaman ba sya habang nag-tataping?Gusto nyang tumayo mag-isa at umuwi dahil sobrang nalilito sya sa nangyayari pero napatigil sya ng may makita syang babaeng papalapit sa kanya."Ready ka na ba?" Tanong ng isang unfamiliar na babae sa kanya. "Don't be scared. Ako si Mariza. I've met you a few times already... Ewan ko lang kung tanda mo ako."Met a few times already? Napakunot ang noo nya dahil hindi nya maalala ang mukha ni pangalan ng dalaga. Who was she? Why is he here? Bakit nakasuot sya ng hospital gown at ang dalaga naman eh nakasuot ng uniporme na hindi pamilyar sa kan

It's not their first time na nag sinungaling sila sa totoong nangyari. Because a year and a half has passed yet Vince's memory has been compromised. Ika nga, there are days that he'd remember but more of it, he'll eventually forget.‘He thinks it's still the year 2016... or even 2017, maybe 2018. His speech therapist had proven that fact. He talks about being late for work, talks about what is the next story in Probinsyano. He has no idea that just a few months from now then it's 2023. We have to adjust for him, or else his stress levels may rise again and cause further damage to his memories. We still don't know if it's a mild case of anterograde amnesia or retrograde amnesia. All we can do now is run some more tests if he has other problems other than this, and pray for the best. Naalala nya yung sinabi ng Doctor sa kanilang lahat six months ago.’"A--Addalyn?" Tanong ni Vince sa kaibigan.Nginitian sya ng Velle. "Ganun parin, enjoy na enjoy sa pagiging terror na examiner para sa fu
