“Alyana…” mahina at puno ng pag-aalalang tawag ni Gabriel habang dahan-dahang lumapit sa kanya. His voice softened, no longer rough with anger, but heavy with concern. “Hey, hey, did I scare you? Don’t cry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Baby, look at me…”Napahagulgol siya lalo sa narinig niya dahil kahit kailan ay hindi ganoon ang pakiramdam niya, dahil imbes na takot, ramdam niya ang katahimikan at ligtas siya dito."Baby.." paos pang tawag nitop kaya naman agad na lumapit si Alyana kay Gabriel, niyakap niya ito ng mahigpit at saka ang mukha ay agad na binaon sa leeg nito, tumingkayad pa siya para lang malagay ang mukha sa leeg nito, para maitago kung gaano karami ang luha niya ngayon.The warmth of his body was both her comfort and her undoing. His scent, his steady heartbeat beneath her ear, it all made her feel safe, grounded, loved. Her tears soaked his shirt, but he didn’t care. “Damn it, masakit ba iyong sampal? May masakit ba? Baby, come on, don’t cry, please,” natataranta bigl

Napasinghap siya, hindi agad makapaniwala na gising pala ito. His lips curved into that familiar smirk that always managed to make her heart flutter, no matter how many times she’d seen it before. “Kanina ka pa ba gising?” tanong na lang ni Alyana, pilit pinipigilan ang ngiti. Her voice came out soft, half-embarrassed, half-playful.Instead of answering, Gabriel smiled lazily and reached out, pulling her closer until their foreheads touched.His breath brushed against her skin, warm and steady.“Maybe I just didn’t want you to miss this view,” he murmured before pressing his lips against hers, may halo pa ring pang-aasar sa boses nito, pero masaydo na agad nadala si Alyana sa halik nito.The kiss wasn’t just a simple morning kiss—it was deep, full of warmth, longing, and unspoken promises. It carried every emotion they refused to say out loud, every moment they thought they’d lost.Napakapit si Alyana sa balikat nito, her fingers sliding up his nape as she responded, feeling the soft

“Don’t worry, sandali lang naman ako,” dagdag pa niya, forcing a small, reassuring smile even though her heart was racing. She tried to sound calm, pero sa loob-loob niya ay kabadong-kabado siya. Every time she had to mention Derrick’s name or deal with something connected to him, the air seemed to thicken around Gabriel.“Ipapatawag ko na lang siya,” matigas na sambit ni Gabriel, his tone leaving no room for argument. His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a subtle edge in his voice that made Alyana’s stomach twist.Nakagat ni Alyana ang labi niya, unsure if she should push it, eh, trabaho naman talaga niya ang ipaperma ito. But the way Gabriel’s jaw clenched made her hesitate, his protectiveness suddenly turning into something that felt almost like possession.“Okay lang, trabaho ko naman ito kaya ayos lang kung puntahan ko siya—” she tried, her voice soft, halos pabulong na, pero agad na itong sumabat.“No,” Matigas na sambit na nito sa kanya."Pero---"“Stay here. He should che

Tumawa si Gabriel, tumagilid sa kama at tinaas ang kamay na parang sumusuko. His laughter was deep and contagious, filling the quiet room with warmth. “Eh sa ikaw nga ang gusto kong… Oo na po, misis ko. Titigil na po ako,” natatawang sambit nito, his voice dripping with playful affection.Hindi namapigilan ni Alyana ang mapailing, a small smile forming on her lips.“So, ano nga gusto mong tanghalian?” Tanong nito haban umiirap, pero kahit na ganoon ay may ngiti pa rin sa labi nito.Sinuklay niya ang buhok gamit ang kamay niya habang hinihintay ang kung anon mang sasabihin nito.“Kahit ano na. Basta ikaw ang magluto,” he said softly this time, the playfulness fading into something tender.His eyes lingered on her, and for a brief moment, the silence between them felt warm, comforting. Pero ilang sandali ay naging seryoso ang tingin nito sa kanya.“Call me if something happens, okay? Magtatawag ako ng driver—”“Magcocommute na ako,” mabilis na sagot niya, na parang bata ring nagmamatigas

“Is there something that happened in the grocery store?” tanong pa ni Gabriel, pero mas lalong sumama ang tingin ni Alyana. Her lips tightened, and her jaw tensed as she crossed her arms, clearly holding something back.“Iyong ex mo!” iritang sambit ni Alyana, tuluyan nang sumabog, halos napalakas ang boses.Kaunti na lang ay usok na ang lalabas sa ilong niya sa tindi ng inis. The way she said it made Gabriel freeze for a second, his brow furrowing in confusion before a teasing smile curved on his lips while start thinking that his wife is jealous again.“Ex? Who?” takang tanong ni Gabriel, dahilan kaya napairap si Alyana. Mas lalo pa niyang binigatan ang tingin, sinabayan ng malalim na buntong-hininga na para bang gusto niyang sabunutan ang sarili dahil sa pagkainis.Hindi niya gusto ang ganitong pakiramdam, ang maging selosa, lalo na kung alam niyang wala naman talagang ginagawang masama si Gabriel.“Hindi mo kilala? So marami kang ex? Akala ko ba ‘yung Hyacinth lang ang ex mo?!” iri
