Continuation... Tawa kami nang tawa nang maalala ang gabing ‘yun, pero habang tumatagal, bumabalik ang katahimikan…hindi awkward, hindi mabigat, kundi 'yung kind of silence na puno ng pagmamahal. Yung tipong alam mong may sasabog na emosyon uli kahit hindi pa nagsasalita.“Katalina…” mahina at mabagal na sabi ni Fia, nakatingin sa akin. “Hmm?”“I’m happy for you.” Naluluha na siya. “As in sobra. Deserve mo yung love na ‘yan. Lahat ng sakit na pinagdaanan mo… lahat napunta sa tamang ending.” Nangilid rin ang luha sa mga mata ni Jems. “Girl, proud kami sayo. Kasi nung dumaan ka sa lahat ng gulo, sakit, stress—hindi ka tumakbo, hindi ka sumuko. Pinili mo yung love. And now… you’re building a family.” Hindi ko na rin napigilan. Parang bumigay lahat ng dibdib ko. Niyakap ko silang dalawa, tight, warm, at puno ng emotions. “I wouldn’t be here without you guys,” bulong ko, umiiyak na pero naka-ngiti. “Promise… kahit maging Mrs. Vaughn na ako, kahit maging mommy na ako… I’ll always

Katalina’s point of view Pagkatapos ng photoshoot ko, bumalik na kami sa bridal suite para sa final touches at ayos ng buhok ko. The gown I’m wearing is glowing against the soft daylight. Fairy A-line. V-neck. Sparkly tulle. Delicate appliques scattered like frost. It looked like a dream waiting for me to step into it. “Ready ka na, anak?” tanong ni Mommy Estelle habang inayos ang train ng skirt.Mama placed a hand on my arm, her eyes soft and shining. “Ang ganda mo anak ko, ibang-iba yung glow mo today… iba yung ngiti.” Napangiti ako, pero ramdam ko rin na, There was something different. A quiet kind of joy. A fullness in my chest.“Kasi ma, this is the day, I’m happy… this is it. I’m marrying the man I love, the man I’ll spend the rest of my life with” sagot ko softly. “Yes, at masaya kami dahil napunta ka sa tamang lalaki anak, panatag kami ng papa mo na magiging masaya ka.” “Thank you ma, I love you po.” “I love you too anak.” Mommy Estelle fixed my veil…soft, a

Katalina's point of view Matapos ang ilang buwan ng excitement, preparation, at pagmamahal, dumating na rin ang araw na matagal naming hinihintay. Nasa hospital ako sa delivery room nanganganak na. Zach was by my side, hand gripping mine, eyes full of anticipation, love, at bahagyang nerbiyos.“Mommy, kaya mo ‘to… and I’m right here, hindi kita iiwan,” sabi niya, habang hinihawakan ang kamay ko at pinapawi ang takot ko sa presensya niya. The contractions were intense, pero somehow, nababawasan kahit papaano dahil nandito siya. Every push, every breath… Zach whispered encouragement, wiped my sweat, and held my hand…paalala na kahit mahirap, we’re doing this together.Finally, after hours of effort, I heard the first cries of our babies.“Zach… they’re here…” I gasped, exhausted, trembling, pero overwhelmed with pure joy. He leaned down, brushing my damp hair away, eyes glistening with tears. “Our babies… our little world. It’s Boy and girl,” sabi niya, He said it felt almost

Cataleya’s point of view Present Day: Three weeks later. Pagpasok ko ng lobby, napahinto ako. Wow, ito na ba ang pina-ayos ni Kuya Caleb? Yes, halos lahat pina-renovate ni Kuya Caleb para bago at sumasabay sa ibang kumpanya na nasa uso ngayon. Para iba ang energy daw at hindi napag-iiwanan ang Vaughn Tower, Yes pati name ng building pinalitan din ni Kuya na approved naman sa parents namin. Three weeks din akong nawala dahil may inasikaso kami ng bestfriend ko sa aming business. That's why ngayon ko lang nakita ang final look ng Lobby. The soft morning light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Vaughn Tower, making everything look warmer than it probably was. Pero ngayon, hindi lang ilaw ang bago, pati buong ambiance ng lobby. Katatapos lang ng renovation ng Lobby, at halatang pinag-isipan ang bawat detalye. Good job for Kuya Caleb. The old marble floors were replaced with matte porcelain tiles in soft taupe, mas modern, mas elegant. The reception desk now had a

And then there was Caleb, standing beside me. His presence alone seemed to suck the oxygen from the room. Tall, impeccably dressed, arms crossed, brows slightly furrowed..he exuded that intimidating Vaughn aura, the one that made people straighten in their chairs and check their posture.Meanwhile, me? I smiled warmly. “Good afternoon everyone. I’m Cataleya Rose, and today I’ll be presenting our campaign refresh…Project Horizon.” I clicked the remote. Slide one flashed across the massive screen.Boom.Colors danced. Concepts unfolded. Charts, visuals, moodboards, everything I had stayed up by night perfecting…all came alive. Nag-salita ako with passion, clarity, at confidence, pinapakita ang creativity ko. Bawat gesture, bawat explanation, bawat pitch… it was me. My art. My heart. My contribution to the company my parents and grandparents built from scratch. When I noticed a few executives leaning forward, whispering to each other, I felt a small surge of pride. Yes, they’re s
