Maid for the Billionaire (Tagalog) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

“You look lovely,” bungad ni Kalix nang lumabas ako mula sa kwarto, at nakita ko siya na hawak ang laptop niya, pero sa akin nakatingin, kumunot ang noo ko, “Oh, I’m just finalizing some papers, baby. Pero tapos na ko,” sabi niya at isinara ang laptop.“I’m just wearing my uniform, Kalix. Nothing lovely about this,” sagot ko at dumiretso sa kusina, nakita ko na may pagkain na sa table, kaya gumawa na lang ako nang kape.Past six-thirty na nang umaga, and I can’t still believe that I need to go to school. I am a third-year-college student.I did not really study actually, because I have to support my ‘family’, at basically, pinag aral ulit ako ni Kalix.“Don’t you want to just fasten your education to get your degree? You can just get an exam or assessment for that, right?” umirap lang ako sa kaniya.Nung isang araw pa niya sinasabi yon sakin, but the idea of going to school excites me. I mean, he’s right, I wasn’t able to finish my schooling because of the responsibilities I had to ca

HINDI ko alam kung nakatulog na ba ko o naka idlip pa lang, pero naalimpungatan ako dahil wala akong katabi, napadilat ako, at nakita na wala na si Macoy—Michael pala sa kama. Tinignan ko ang oras, alas tres na nang madaling araw.Tumayo agad ako, maliit lang ang kwarto ko kaya alam ko na wala sya dito, lumabas ako, patay ang ilaw maliban sa kusina, marahan akong bumaba, dahil nasa ilalim nang hagdan ang kwarto nila nanay, mabubugbog ako non pag nagising sila sa ingay ko.“Macoy?” mahinang tawag ko, habang hinanap siya nang mga mata ko. Pero wala, dumiretso ako sa kusina, kumunot ang noo ko nang marinig ko ang boses ni tatay.Dahan dahan akong pumasok sa kusina, at nanlaki ang mata ko nang makita ang libuhin na pera sa mesa, magkatapat si nanay at tatay sa mesa at abala sa pag bibilang.“Tangina, ang dami naman nito Gardo. Hindi ko inaakala na makakahawak ako nang ganito kalaking pera!”“Huwag ka na nga mag reklamo dyan at bilangin mo na lang, baka mamaya ginulunagan tayo nung matandan

“So, you’re really not gay or something?” Tanong ko kay Macoy habang magkasabay kami kumain sa cafeteria. May mga taon nang hindi kami nagkita, at marami pa akong hindi alam tungkol sa kanya. Kahit pitong taon na ang nakalipas.Napatingin siya sa akin, nagtaas ng kilay, at tumawa ng konti. “Huh? Seriously, Naya? Why would you even think that?”“Eh kasi… noong unang kita ko sa’yo, you were about to be given, and way too soft.” Sagot ko, medyo naiilang. “Kasi, you were always so quiet, and wala, basta!”Macoy smiled, pero parang may halong kung ano sa mga mata niya. “Naya, I’m not gay. I mean, if that’s what you’re asking.” Tumingin siya sa akin, parang sinisigurado na naiintindihan ko. “I was just… I didn’t expect you to remember me. And I didn’t really know how to reach out until now.”Napakunot ang noo ko. “Wait, what do you mean, ‘reach out’? Anong ibig mong sabihin?”Tumingin siya sa paligid, parang nag-iwas ng kaunti, bago siya nag-salita muli. “Naya, I’ve been looking for you for

As I finished preparing lunch for Kalix, I couldn’t shake off this strange feeling. I couldn’t exactly place it, but something about today felt different. I packed the adobo, rice, some vegetables, and a little dessert I made, and just like that, it was ready. I was excited to bring it to him. Cooking for him always felt… right.I quickly changed into something simple—just jeans and a blouse—nothing too formal but still presentable. I grabbed the lunch and headed out, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. The street was filled with people, each absorbed in their own world, and here I was, walking down the road, unsure of what exactly I was doing.I made my way to my car, alam ko naman ang way papunta sa office ni Kalix, Nag park na ako at pumasok sa building, the front desk officer greeted me as soon as I reached the lobby, kilala naman ako nang ilan sa mga employee ni Kalix. but as I was walking, I suddenly bumped into someone. I stepped back, looking up, and realized it was Jame

I sat across from Tito Richard, his posture as stiff as the tension in the air. His eyes were sharp, boring into me with a kind of unnerving calm that made the silence feel heavier. Every second that ticked by seemed to stretch, the weight of his gaze never faltering, always calculating, waiting for something from me.Hindi ko alam kung ano ang iniisip nya, but I know, the moment he laid eyes on Naya, he already knew.“You know,” Tito finally spoke, his voice edged with something dark, “I’ve been hearing whispers—rumors, to be exact. People are saying you’ve got someone new. A new woman in your life.” He said it casually, but there was a definite undercurrent of threat that hung in the air.I tightened my jaw, keeping my gaze steady, unwavering. I wasn’t about to let him drag me into this. Tito had always been the manipulative type, the kind who enjoyed stirring the pot for his own gain. I wasn’t going to let him play me.“No, Tito,” I said flatly, my voice calm but firm. “There’s no
