Lahat ng Kabanata ng Guide Me, Mr. Billionaire (Entice Series 1): Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

CHAPTER 52Ayaw niya rin kasi. Pero mali ang ginawa ko. Kahit ayaw niya na ipagkalat ko, dapat ginawa ko... kasi mahal ko na siya.I didn't care if I went against her wishes, as long as she knew that I was ready to shout to the world how much she meant to me. I thought, I had enough knowledge. Marami pa rin pala akong natututunan lalo na kapag siya ang laman ng puso't isipan ko."I want you to be my boyfriend. And I want to be your girlfriend."My chest practically thundered when I heard those words from her lips. I wanted to be happy, to let pure joy wash over me, but how genuine could that happiness be when I had witnessed her most vulnerable moments? When I had seen her tears, her struggles, her pain?It was sweet and surreal."Ayannah-""I want to have something to hold onto when I face you in front of many people," she said. Hindi pa rin maalis ang pagkamangha ko kanina.Kung paano niya ipinaglaban ang sarili niya ay lagpas na sa inaasahan ko. She's already changed. Hindi na siya

CHAPTER 54He fell silent at my words. I watched as he swallowed hard, his throat working visibly as he struggled to break through the tension that had settled between us, but no words came. He could only manage a stiff nod, his jaw clenched tight."Kung balak mo akong ligawan, binabalaan na kita. Hindi pa ako handang magmahal ulit," pagtatapat ko."Wala akong pakialam, Ayannah... I'll still pursue you."Maybe if I told him the truth, he would finally stop. Or maybe this would be the test to see if his intentions were genuine or not. Naging tahimik ang trabaho ko nang hindi siya pinapansin. Ganoon din siya. He seemed to mirror my distance, keeping to himself as well.Habang nagpupunas ako ng mesa ay hindi ko maiwasang hindi mapasinghap ng ilang beses... I told him that I was pregnant.I just really wanted him to stop pursuing me... but it seemed like he had no intention of giving up.He's the first one to know about the child in my tummy. Hindi ko pa sinasabi kay Cherry sa tuwing tuma

CHAPTER 56Sa kadahilanang ayaw kong maging pabigat, at huwag masyadong umasa sa ibang tao ay sinunod ko ang suhestiyon ni Albert. All those years of work experience, the skills I'd accumulated as Ayannah, the knowledge gained from my time in human resource employee, they all worked in my favor. The hiring process felt almost effortless, as if the universe was granting me one small mercy.Kapag umaga ay nasa shift ako sa restaurant nina Albert. Kapag gabi naman ay call center agent ako. Tanging hapon lang ang pahinga ko, tapos gigising bago lumubog ang araw para ipagluto si Albert ng pagkain tapos aalis na para pumasok sa night shift, then I'd rush out the door, managing perhaps an hour of fitful sleep before heading back to his restaurant, where I'd work through until midday. The cycle repeated, relentlessly and brutally, stretching across nearly two weeks since I'd taken both jobs.Ganiyan ang routine ko sa halos dalawang linggo simula nang magkaraket ako. At aaminin ko, nakakapago

CHAPTER 58I exceed. That's too much. I always give more than I have, stretching myself so thin for the people and things I love that I’ve forgotten my own existence.'Yong halos dalawang linggo at mahigit kong paggayod, nasuklian lang ng pighati. I never think the life that was forming inside me, masyado kong dinaya ang sarili para sa kapakanan ng iba. I believed helping my family after such a long separation would bring happiness, but that hope proved empty and cold.Now tears pour from me, silent agony for the tiny soul who never had the chance to fight for life. The weight in my chest is crushing, and my sobs echo in the hospital room for almost last night that I was sent here."Ayannah, bakit hindi ka nagsasabi!"Napapikit ako nang mariin. Naririndi ako sa boses ni Cherry, naririndi ako sa tunog ng mga sapatos sa labas... I can't focus on myself. Umiiyak din pala si Cherry nang minsang balingan ko siya tapos titingin na naman ako sa kawalan."Sinasaktan ka na pala n'ong Albert na

CHAPTER 60I hope I'll still be able to get back to work. Hindi na ako nagtatrabaho kina Albert dahil suggestions 'yon ng therapist, atsaka ayaw ko na rin naman.The thought of returning to that environment made my skin crawl. This position at the call center seemed to be the only viable path forward, the only way I could imagine generating income and restoring some dignity to my increasingly fractured existence."Magandang pangalan ang Ayannah..."I smiled shyly when his face started to be amazed. Ngunit biglang bumagsak ang mata niya sa aking tiyan. Napatikhim ako. Lalo na nang ngunot noo niya akong tingnan."Nakikiramay ako sa pagkawala ng anak mo, Aya. Alam kong hindi naging maganda ang trato ni Albert sa 'yo... Nawalan ka rin ng trabaho sa restaurant niya."He sighed. Nasa office ako ngayon kaya malaya siyang magsalita ng gan'on. Mariin ko lang na pinagsisiklop ang aking daliri at palad na nakapatong sa aking tuhod. At iniisip kung matatanggap ba ako o hindi."So despite the fact
