Nagmamadaling umuwi si Gabby, she went to the studio to work with the screenwriter. It was the latest of her novels to be turned into a television drama. And if someone asked, she wanted it to be the last. She loved her books but turning them into motion pictures or serializing them into dramas was a headache. She was constantly headbutting with writers and directors. While she sold the rights to her books, it came with a lot of clauses. She made sure they stick to the story as closely as possible. It was the last of her contract of two movies and two television dramas and she did not intend to renew the contract with the production studio anymore.The soap was already halfway done but airing just started. It was number one on its time slot which was a relief after all the work they were doing. She passed by the huge poster of One Last Wish, she stopped and stared at it for a moment.

“Mommy, what happened to your face?” Nakauwi na sila but Chico was still repeating his question. She already said she bumped ito something. “Baby, It was mommy’s fault. I was not looking.” Inayos ni Gabby sa day bed si Mango, Chico’s twin sister. She placed a pillow by her side so she won’t roll and fall. She went to the kitchen to prepare their dinner at nakasunod pa rin ang anak na lalaki. “Did someone hurt you, Mommy?” diretsang tanong nito. Napangiti naman siya.   Chico loves acting tough kasi hindi na raw ito baby, something he always reminded her lately. Gabby turned once she reached the center island, she pulled a chair for Chico a

THE HOTEL WAS EXTRAVAGANTLY decorated for the Halloween party. Sa pagpasok pa lang nila sa lobby, it was as if the Disney parade was transferred to the hotel. This is the second week of the event but the most anticipated kasi nga Halloween. Tonight's event was also a fundraiser. Kinausap nya ulit ang mga anak na h’wag hihiwalay sa kanya. She was holding one in each hand and carefully checking where they were going. Ang mga anak nya naman were busy looking around. Napasigaw si Mango when she turned and found another kid in a scary costume. Takot na takot ito and quickly hugged Gabby’s leg. “Baby, Baby, it’s just a costume.” Napilitan syang kargahin ito as Mango was scared and spooked already. Nag-alala tuloysiya sa kay Chico. “Anak, are you okay?” tanong nya

Halos lumuwa naman ang mata ni Gabby. No one ever talked to her that way. She tried to take her hand again. Matt interlaced their fingers instead. “You’re - You’re rude!” She gritted her teeth.“I am just being honest.  We already have babies. What’s the problem?” Matt turned his head and smiled at her before he faced front again. “My babies. My kids!” madiin ang bawat kataga na pagtatama naman ni Gabby. “We’ll see, Gab. We’ll see.” Sagot ni Matt. He let Gabby have her hand when she pulled it again. Mas pinili naman ni

“Mommy!” Namimilog ang mata ni Mango na tuwang-tuwa sa narinig. “We get a daddy. You hear that, Chico?” Hinila pa nito ang kapatid sa pagkakayakap kay Gabby. Chico shrugged Mango’s hand and held tighter to Gabby’s neck. Mango was not bothered and sat back on Matt’s lap.  “So are you mommy’s Boyfie?” Pulang-pula naman na ang mukha ni Gabby. “Yep. I‘m her boyfriend.” Matt answered. He smiled while intentionally avoiding looking at Gabby and just focused on Mango. “You’re like Teacher Jason to Teacher Martha. He waits for her then they go home together,” daldal ni Mango. “Are you going to pick
