Lahat ng Kabanata ng Guide Me, Mr. Billionaire (Entice Series 1): Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Chapter 31"Nakauwi ka na ba?"Just like what I’ve said. I’m staying here for one week, sabado ako nakarating dito at sabi naman ni Immanuel ay kahit sa susunod na sabado na rin ako umalis para makapagpahinga ako ng Sunday at makapasok na kaagad kinabukasan, marahil ay kailangan talaga ng manpower sa kompanya ngayon.I’m willing to work at home pero nag-insist siya at magbakasyon na lamang daw ako rito."Yes, love. I am already in my office right now.”He even giggles on the phone."Love ka diyan, hindi pa nga kita sinasagot!"Umuwi na muna si Immanuel matapos ng bagyo, and gladly he goes back safely. Gusto niya pa nga sana mag-stay rito pero narinig kong kausap niya noong isang araw ang ama niya at tungkol sa paglisan niya ang pinag-uusapan nila.Nagpumilit pa siya no’n pero alam niyang mag-aaway lang kami… kaya ngayon ay tinawagan ko siya kung nakauwi na ito nang maayos."Pero aminin mo, kinilig ka.""Sino'ng hindi makikilig?" Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti… nagpagulong-gulong pa ako

CHAPTER 33Sumabay na ako kay Immanuel sa kotse. Hindi kami umapak doon sa hosital kung saan dating nagpapa-check up si Mama. My Mother's cardiologist was Immanuel's Mother, that's why I was not shocked when we stepped in the private hospital right now. Sa karatig bayan na itong napuntahan namin at kahit na malayo ay masasabi mong mas-established ang hospital dito, at mararamdaman mong maalagaan ka talaga rito.Noong nag-college ako ay saka lang namin nalaman na may iniindang sakit pala si Mama sa puso. It was genetic, an unwelcome inheritance passed down through generations, something she couldn't prevent no matter how many prayers we whispered or healthy meals we prepared. Habang tumatagal kasi ay palubha nang palubha lang iyon, medyo naging ayos na rin naman siya nang maka-graduate na ako at makapagsimulang magtrabaho sa ibang lugar. She's the reason why I eagirly want to sacrifice myself to be far from the them, to make establed income.I already saw my parents waiting in the chai

CHAPTER 35We made dances with our partners for tonight. The soft music wrapped around us and felt some nostalgic feeling, drawing couples together on the polish floor."Before this event ended, we'll crown our Prom King and Queen! Gusto n'yo ba 'yon?!"My eyes found David, watching as his gaze kept drifting toward Millary on the stage, then reluctantly falling back to me. Ganoon din ako, I saw how Immanuel found his way to find me despite this ocean of people, his stares were dark, sumusulyap siya sa akin habang busy siya makipag-usap sa mga politician sa stage.I let out a soft scoff when I caught David stealing yet another glance at Millary. Mukhang napansin niya naman ito at pumirmi ng hawak sa aking baywang. and I could read his thoughts as clearly as if they were written on his face - it was Millary up there on that stage, engaging in what appeared to be an intimate conversation with Immanuel.Ganiyan din ang nararamdaman ko noon... lalo na noong interview nilang dalawa sa T.V.

CHAPTER 37"I think sasama na ako kay Immanuel, David."David was with his friends on college. Nang lumapit ako sa kaniya ay medyo may tama na ito ng alak. The event will end at 12 am, so they have to move out if ever... 10pm na rin kasi. All his friends are laughing."Pagod ka na ba?" tanong niya."Oo eh, aalis na rin kasi ako bukas... kailangan kong magpahinga agad.""Sige, kay Immanuel ka na sumama, mamaya pa kasi ako."Tumango ako, tiningnan ko ang mga kaibigan niya na mangilan-ngilan din ay lasing na. Maybe he can drive by his own, may control naman siya sa sarili at matatapos na rin naman ang event by 12 am. Medyo chaotic nga lang ngayon since wala na sa formal proper at may freedom na ang mga taong uminom at magsaya.Nginitian ko ang mga kaibigan niya na nakatingin sa akin, they seem so familiar dahil nakikita ko silang kasama ni David noong college pa kami."Mag-ingat ka mag-drive ah?" I placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.He slowly nodded. Binitiwan niya ang boteng hawak at

CHAPTER 39The words hit me like a physical blow, stealing the breath from my lungs and making the world around me spin dangerously while my heart hammered against my ribs so hard I thought it might burst. I stopped caring about the people walking, running, asking for help, the nurses calling codes, the squeak of shoes on linoleum. None of it mattered. Wala na akong pakialam sa paligid ko, ang gusto ko lang ngayon ay maging maayos ang Mama ko.I don't know what to do anymore. I am panicking. Tears endlessly pouring into my eyes. Pabalik-balik ako, uupo, tatayo upang sumilip sa ER, tapos iiyak. I do it simultaneously. Wala akong pakialam kung mahilo ako kakaikot- I just want to make sure that my mother is safe, that the operation is safe."Walang available na surgeon."That's what the nurses said when we got at the hospital. Wala na akong choice, isang tao na lang ang tanging naiisip ko ngayon. I called her. And thank goodness, she answered! "I am the Daughter of Doctora Maria Esperan
