"Thanks, my idol" sagot ni Andrea. And then, a moment of silence happened between us. Nagtagal pa siya ng mahigit kalahating oras bago niya napag-isipan na lumabas na sa office. She shared a lot about her. "I am so sorry talaga, Marisse" ani nito habang naglalakad na kami palabas sa boutique ko. "You don't have to say sorry. Hayaan mo na" ani ko na lamang. Nakakarindi na rin na puro “sorry” na lamang ang naririnig ko. Bago pa man kami makalabas sa boutique ay mabilis na lumapit na sa amin si Danica. Informing us na there's a lot of people outside the boutique. Kabilang na roon ang mga press. "Anong nangyayari?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Andrea sa secretary ko. "E ma'am, nakita ko po sa internet na may isang paparazzi po na nagpost ng picture" panimula ni Danica. "Picture po iyon ni Ms. Andrea na pumasok po sa loob ng boutique natin, tapos, ayan po" dagdag pa nito. Napatingin naman ako kay Andrea, hinihintay ang desisyon ng babae. "I'll go outside" ani ni Andrea maya-maya. "Wha

Kinabukasan, nang magising ako ay ramdam na ramdam ko kaagad ang sakit ng ulo ko. D*amn. Kahit masakit ang ulo ko ay pinilit ko pa rin na makabangon. But, wait. Where am I? As I regained some semblance of consciousness, I found myself in a dimly lit room, her hands bound and her heart filled with fear. "Where am I?" Pasigaw na tanong ko. Baka may nag uwi lang sa akin kagabi. Pilit na inaalala ko ang lahat ng nangyari kahapon. From betrayal by my own boyfriend, bar, kissing other guy, hanggang sa Van.... Tama, white van na basta na lamang ako hinila ng mga taong sakay roon papasok sa sasakyan. "Hello, gising na po ako. Where am I?" Sigaw kong muli. Ilang sandali pa ay bumukas na ang pinto ng kwarto na kinaroroonan ko. Pumasok roon ang isang lalaki. It was Adrian. Adrian, with a sinister smile on his face, approached me, relishing in his victory. I guess this guy had sinister intentions for me, planning to do something terrible to me, of course, ano pa nga ba ang aasahan nati

As the days passed, Marisse and Anthony began to rebuild their relationship slowly. The air between them started to clear, and their conversations became less strained. Their interactions were cautious at first, filled with unspoken apologies and silent promises. But as time went on, they found themselves sharing smiles, soft conversations, and even the laughter. Marisse noticed the sincere effort Anthony was making to regain her trust, and it gave her hope. They were far from perfect, but they were making progress, and that was a start.One day, Marisse decided to visit her boutique. Anthony offered to drive her, and Marisse agreed, seeing it as an opportunity to spend time together outside the confines of their home. Marisse sat in the passenger seat, as always.Kasama rin nila ang guards ni Marisse. Mahirap na, alam nila na mainit ngayon ang mata ng kalaban sa kanila lalo pa at hanggang ngayon ay nakakulong pa rin si Adrian. As they drove down the road, they enjoyed the comforta

"Hey, dahan-dahan" halos pabulong na ani ni Anthony sa akin."Bakit pa kase naka blindfold ako?" Tanong ko rito. Medyo nahihirapan na rin kase ako na maglakad. "Ang layo pa nito. 3pm tayo umalis sa boutique tapos 6pm na tayo nakarating dito. Nasa bayan pa lamang tayo, nilagyan mo na agad ako ng blindfold" reklamo ko. Tanging mahihinang tawa na lamang niya ang kaniyang naisagot. Ilang hakbang pa ang ginawa namin bago si Anthony nagsalita mula sa tabi ko. "I'll count. Pagkabilang ko ng tatlo, tanggalin mo na ang blindfold mo" "Sige ba, ano bang pakulo 'to" natatawang ani ko rito."Isa""Dalawa""Tatlo"Pagkasabi niyon ay mabilis na tinanggal ko na ang blindfold ko. Napapikit pa ako para makabawi. Medyo blurry at kulay black kase ang nakikita ko. Marahil ay dahil sobrang tagal kong may soot na blindfold. Marisse found themselves in a famous restaurant, La Belle Époque. It's elegant ambiance creating an intimate atmosphere just for the two of them. Anthony had planned this special d

Marisse and Anthony woke up in the soft embrace of the hotel room, their bodies intertwined from a night filled with passion and love. The warmth of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on their faces. As they stirred awake, a sense of contentment enveloped them."I'll take a bath first, babe" ani ni Marisse kalaunan. "Sure, babe. Susunod ako pagkatapos mo. For now, I'll order some foods muna para makakain na tayo maya-maya" sagot ni Anthony. Tumango na lamang si Marisse bilang sagot. "Bukod sa akin, may gusto ka pa bang kainin?" Tanong ni Anthony habang nakangisi. Inirapan ko na lamang ito ng mata. Kung ano-ano na naman ang lumalabas sa bibig n'ya. "Just order anything. I'm okay with it na" sagot ni Marisse saka dali-dali nang pumasok sa cr. Pagkatapos maligo, they decided to indulge in a leisurely breakfast together. They made their way to their hotel room's dining area, hand in hand, ready to savor a delicious meal and enjoy each other's compan
