Aaron’s mind was in a daze. Pakiramdam niya nananaginip lang siya at ang mga nangyari ng nakalipas na ilang oras ay hindi totoo. Kundi isa lamang mahabang bangungot na kahit na anong ipilit niya, hindi siya magising-gising.He had been awake for almost 24 hours now subalit parang wala siyang maramdamang antok. Wala kasi sa pahinga ang isip niya. Iisa lang ang nais niya, ang magising na si Sam.Last night, Sam went critical. Dax and Carlo had to hold him down to keep him from rushing inside the ICU suite where Sam was at. He wanted to see her, be with her and tell her to hold on and fight for him and Charlie. Mabuti na lang din at pinigilan siya ng mga bodyguards niya. Now that he’s sane enough to reflect on his actions, it was really stupid in his part to interfere when the doctors and nurses were frantically working on to save Sam.In the end, he was forced to pray and wait for he had nothing left to do but just that. The uncertainty w

 Humugot nang malalim na hininga si Aaron nang ipasok ng mga pulis si Eddie sa interrogation room. Eddie was wearing an ordinary shirt and pants. His hair was disheveled and his hands were bound in handcuffs. Napakalayo ng itsura nito sa Eddie na kilala niya na laging pormal at maayos manamit.The bastard looked healthy too even being detained-- no sign of fear or remorse in his eyes. And it angered him all the more! How could he be so healthy and relazed when Sam is in the hospital fighting for her life?Eddie should be tortured and be left alone to die, he thought grimly. The policeman forced Eddie to sit on the chair that was facing a table. Above it was the only light illuminating the room.He was watching on the other room from a one-way viewing window. Kasama niya roon ang mga kapatid niya, pati na rin si Ana, Carlo at Dax.Maj. Javellana entered the interrogation room and sat on the chair in front of Eddie. Ilang sandali p

Aaron  tightened his grip on his leg as he awaits for his mother's explanation of things. His mother cleared her throat before she continued. “Irina came from a wealthy family and used to be a part of your father’s inner circle in college. Their families were close too. They practically grew up together. Your father said that Irina was sweet and caring. But she started to change when Irina learned that your father and I was already in a relationship. Irina maligned me in front of other people—most especially to your grandparents. She even spread a rumor in the university that I was carrying another man’s baby. But your father trusted me and didn’t believe all of Irina’s allegations about me. Your father confronted Irina and she confessed that she loves him. But should I be the one to weigh things, Irina was obssesed with your father. Greg rejected her that instant and threatened to sue her should she continue to trea

 “Good morning, Mommy!” Charlie greeted her still sleeping mother. Aaron watched as Charlie carefully climb on the hospital bed and gave her mother’s hand a kiss. “Goodmorning, baby brother!” his daughter continued as she gently ran her little hands over at Sam’s tummy.  “Here, I made a card for you.”Charlie placed a card beside Sam’s pillow. It has a colorful stick figures of their family with little hearts and flowers on the border. Charlie scribbled that herself last night when she learned that he’ll be bringing her again to the hospital today.It has been two long weeks since the incident happened. Nailipat na si Sam sa isang regular suite. Nakauwi na rin si Joseph mula sa ospital. Pormal na siyang nakapagsampa ng kaso laban kina Gregory at Kristine. And though he’s still learning how to make a perfect ponytail, he know now how to braid Charlie’s hair.   Subalit sa

 Aaron’s chest constricted as she saw Lucas walking to and fro in front of Kristine’s hospital suite. He doesn’t want to think of anything negative but he cannot help it. Lalo pa sa malayo pa lang,  kitang-kita na niya ang matinding pag-aalala sa mukha ni Lucas.He picked up his pace and made Charlie sit on the waiting bench before facing Lucas.“What happened?” nagmamadaling tanong niya sa kaibigan.Lucas gently shook his head and ran his fingers on his hair. “I really don’t know what happened but a nurse advised me not to go in yet when I arrived. What could possibly be wrong? Ngayon lang naman nangyari ‘to?”He released a slow breath, trying to keep his panic to himself.  “Doc Angel checked on her before we went to see Doc Stef. She said Sam was fine and so is the baby,” kalmadong paliwanag niya.“She said that?” tanong nito. Tumango siya. &ldquo
