All Chapters of Between Maybes: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

(NOTICE!!! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE)KIDNAPPEDGabi na ako nakauwi because of the sudden shift of schedules. I called Elijah earlier and he has an evening meeting at siguro ay mamaya pa makakauwi. Ginala ko ang paningin sa paligid ng parking lot. Hindi ko napansin ang sasakyan ni Matias, kumunot ang nuo ko. Ngunit binaliwala ko nalang ito siguro dahil may iniutos si Elijah dito.Dahil sa traffic ay alas nuebe na ng gabi ng makarating ako sa condo. Napansin kung madilim ang underground parking lot kung saan naka park lagi ang sasakyan namin ni Elijah. Wala din ang security guard na laging nakabantay doon. Dahil sa pagod ay di ko nalang ito pinansin kahit na medyo kinabahan ako. Knowing that Elijah pull outs his men in this building at hindi din nakasunod si Matias sa akin.After I parked my car, I gathered my things tsaka nag pasyang lumabas. Ngunit paglabas ko palang ng sasakyan ay may pumalo na sa ulo ko at nawalan ako ng malay.Nagising ako ng may biglang bumuhos ng tubig sa a

HomeIt’s been past midnight ngunit hindi pa ako dinadalaw ng antok. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nagawa ni Gavin. I saw Yuhan and Chimuel snuggles on the coach while Elijah is on my side they are sleeping peacefully. I eyes watered. Kitang kita ang pagod sa mga mukha nila, namumugto ang mga mata ni Chimuel, Yuhan also has been stressed knowing him. Jacob grows his ficial hair. Yumuko ako at pilit na tinakpan ang bibig ko ng aking mga kamay para di lumabas ang mariing hikbi ko. I can’t help but to cry. I am too emotional.Agad kung pinunasan ang luha ko ng makita kung nakatingin si Chimuel sa gawi ko. Agad itong bumangon at lumapit sa higaan ko.“Shhh…Levy”. Masuyo nitong sabi habang pinapahid ang luha sa mga mata ko. Mas lalo pa akong naiyak.“Gosh! C-Chimuel I-I’m so afraid…I-I t-thought I-I will never see you again”. Mahina kung bulong habang nakayakap dito.“Lev…we are so afraid…terrified even, when we learned that you are missing…that man…that man beside you, halos mabaliw s

Heart Surgeon“Dr. Verde, nice meeting you!”. Nakangiting bati ni Dr. Anton, one of my role model in pursuing internist and my favorite author and excellent surgeon.“It’s an honor to meet you, Dr. Anton. You know I’ve been reading your books and I am thinking of taking cardiologist for my masters”.Tumawa ito ng mahina. Brows up in amusement.“Wow! A top internist like you would want to become a heart surgeon?”.“Can’t I?”.“Nahhh.. It would be my fall”.We both laugh. Gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. I thought my three days here would be boring.“Perhaps you can cater some of my quires?”. I asked shamelessly. Pagkakataon ko na ito. Dr. Anton is a well-known heart surgeon and his works are beyond excellent.“You’re buying me a dinner?”.Tumawa ako. I didn’t know his this talkative and he got some humor.“Well…it depends–“Woah!”. He let out a heartly laugh. Tumingin sa gawi naming ang ibang doctor na naroon.I didn’t know na may convention pala ang mga batikang doctor dito sa Batangas. Kaya

RowanWhen we arrived at the hotel room, we immediately wrapped each other, we shared hot and beautiful night.“I need to go to the company, baby, sigurado kamang ayaw mong sumama?”. Sabi nito habang nag bibihis.“I’m too tired babe, next time”. Sagot ko dito. Bumangon ako para tulungan itong mag lagay ng tie.“Can I visit my friends tomorrow?”.He put his hands on my waist.“Without me?”.“I don’t want to disturb you, I know you’re too busy. But I love to bring you next time”. I said while tip toeing to reach his lips for a kiss.“Hmmm. I’ll clear my schedule then”. Nakataas ang kilay nitong sagot at ngumiti. I rolled my eyes. I know how busy he is.“I can manage babe, please don’t mind me”.“I hate that…wala si Matias dito and–“Don’t worry, okay?”. Putol ko dito. Hindi ko alam kung ano pang dapat nitong ipag-alala.Kung di pa tumunog ang cellphone nito ay di pa ako bibitiwan. We shared a short hot kisses before he leave.I immediately contacted my friends who’s in Washington hospit

Love Hurts“Levia?”.I find my self standing in front of Rowan’s Clinic. Of all the people, I don’t know why I ran to him.I saw his brows furrowed and his worried eyes. nanatili akong natayo at nakayuko. Naramdaman ko ang paglapit nito.“You’re crying”. Mahina nitong bulong.Dahan-dahan nitong tinapik ang braso ko. Lalong lumakas ang buhos ng mga luha ko. He grab him for a hug.“Shhhhh…It’s okay now Levia, dear”.He whisper while tapping my back slowly.“Come on”. Hinila ako nito papasok ng hospital.Bahagya akong kumalma ng nasa loob na kami. Giniya niya akong maupo sa sofa at nanatili itong tahimik. Sa ilang araw na di sinasadya naming pagkikita tuwing kasama ang mga kaibigan ay napagtanto kong wala na ang galit sa puso ko para dito.This is Rowan, every time na may problema ako ay hinahayaan niya lang akong umiyak ngunit di niya pinababayaang mag-isa. He is not just my boyfirend, he is my first friend when I came here in the foriegn country.“Your boyfriend got engaged today, I se
