AngelaIt was early in the morning and I immediately got up when I noticed Asher wasn’t beside me. Fear crept into my system and I instinctively grabbed my gun at the night stand and swiftly moved out of the bedroom.“Good morning, mommy!”Nabitiwan ko ang hawak kong baril nang makita ko Asher sa counter top na naghahalo ng tsaa niya.“Asher!” mabilis ako nagpunta sa kaniya at yinakap siya nang mahigpit. “Akala ko kung ano ang nangyari sa iyo. Wala ka sa tabi ko pag gising ko.”“Don’t worry about me, Mommy! I was just making my morning tea, and I’m making you one too! I’m also making a toast so you should just sit there,
Angela“Are you still going to resign?”I looked at Ellisa as she entered the balcony and handed me a can of whiskey. I looked at the city lights illuminating the place.We’ve decided to move out of my previous apartment since it would be dangerous for us to stay there. Mabilis ang naging paglipat namin ni Asher dahil kaunti lang naman ang gamit namin sa apartment dahil karaniwan naman kaming nasa headquarters ng organization.“I’ve changed my mind. I need to stay here. As long as Dia has Ashley, I won’t be able to move out.”“So, you’re still not planning to tell Rence all of this?”
AngelaThe box fell out of my hands as I also fell into the ground. My whole body was shaking and I stared at the picture. The little girl from the picture was playing and I can clearly see her face.“Mommy!” Asher was shaking me and I just looked at him. I can see panic from his eyes but I can’t even let out a single word.This can’t be. Ashley died years ago and it was confirmed by the hospital.My tears started to fall and my senses became dull. Before I knew it, someone slapped me hard.It made me go back to reality and I realized I was already inside the apartment. Asher was behind Ellisa, who just slapped me with a worried lo
AngelaI am currently in the ICU and looking at Kuya Angelo. He’s still unconscious but Ken just told me that they will be moving him into a new room this day.“Mommy, is he gonna be okay?”I looked down at Asher and he’s also looking at him. There were tears in his eyes, and it breaks my heart more.“He will be. He promised to play with you, right?”“Yeah, but he should really take a good rest. He has a lot of wounds, and I know that hurts.”I sat on his level and brushed some hair strands that covered his eyes.“Are you going to help me take care of your
RenceI stared at my phone and kept refreshing my email a few times, thinking that I just read Angela’s message wrong. But it is clearly stated in the email that she is filing for a three day leave. Hanggang sa makalabas ako ng kwarto ay nakakunot pa rin ang noo ko.“Casimir, ang aga aga, bakit ganyan ang mukha mo?”Napalingon ako sa nagsalita, and I saw my dad sitting by the counter top drinking a cup of coffee. I took a quick glance around my condo and saw his luggage by the door. Looks like he really came.“Dad, it’s so early in the morning. Why are you nagging me?” I grabbed my cup and prepared my tea. If Angela’s not at the office, that only means I have to take my tea now. She will not be t
Angela“Rence, my target,” I felt my voice begin to crack. “He’s Asher’s dad.” I looked at her and there I couldn't even see any emotions in her face or eyes. I guess it’s already a part of her. I guess that’s what makes her the current head of the organization. There are higher ups but they only act as a guide, and they mostly observe our decisions. They never intervene unless needed. Afterall, the higher ups are the retired elites.“Aren’t you supposed to tell Rence this right now instead of me?”She continued moving around and I just stood right here in my place speechless.“Look, Angela. If he is indeed Asher’s dad, he has the right to know.”“He will take him away.”&nbs
